I was recently informed that people whet other people's appetites, and in fact do not wet other people's appetites. So, I'm whetting yours with something small until I have time for something bigger -- an update to the Strawberry-Falls Punch Kool-Aid tribute, which now includes a review and download of the one and only commercial that promoted the red berry beast. (Scroll near the bottom of the article for the update; you can't miss it because it says "UPDATE" in font size 450.)
As X-Entertainment continues its gradual shift to becoming an All Kong, All The Time site, I'd just like to point out that "The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island" is an amazing book. A bit steep at the retail price of 35 bucks (which I paid, but have since seen it for around 20.00), there's just no resisting a book that reads, looks and smells like a legit animal encyclopedia but is, in fact, a work of fiction that fleshes out each and every creature on Skull Island. To give you an idea of the book's scope, they cover at least a dozen species of giant centipedes. It's really a tremendous and inspired work that will jump-start your imagination and sway anyone who thinks it'd be cooler to visit Jurassic Park onto the monkey's side. This is in no way a lame title blitzed through to make a few last minute bucks on a passing franchise -- the book takes the themes of Skull Island and gives you enough information on both its inhabitants and topography to start writing your own dinosaur/giant spider slash. I don't recommend things unless I'm sure you'll love me for recommending them to you, so buy it, baby, buy it.

Hmm…$20 not much but I would go for some transformers or perhaps some new nerf guns like the maveric. Who knows, maybe one of each.
