First Robots, Now Dragons?

That's right, the Robot Collector has turned his eye on the Mega Brand Dragons toyline. While I have acquired a decent robot or two of MegaBlox origin, I absolutely couldn't pass up the dragons that I saw. I've gotten the ice one, the fire one, and the lightning one, and each one has a very solid design and four wings that fold around it like a shield, with a tail that folds on top. I should have pictures of them soon enough, as my next post will most likely be an image heavy inventory of my collection.

4th of July

Well, the 4th was fun. And I had an amusing sighting. At a local fireworks stand, I saw a massive package of fireworks. I mean, it was huge. The dimensions were about 4 feet in heigth, 3 in width, and 8 inches in depth.

Something akin to this, mainly.

It had some great names in there, like Patriotic Power Blast, Veteran Salute, and Operation: Phantom Fury, with plenty of armed soldiers on it. It was definitely amusing.

Also, on the Phantom website that I linked, they have a firework called Battle of Khe San.
