Inside Tomica 2013

Tomica 2013 has a lot of previews to enjoy and we found a YouTube video that highlights why we love this show.

Tomica is a line of die-cast & model vehicles produced by Takara Tomy Company of Japan. Every year in August they produce a show for families to view moving displays and to see and purchase the latest Tomica vehicles all while being entertained by games and live entertainment.

Tomica 2013 was held this year (as it was last year) at the Makuhari Messe International Convention Complex in Chiba. From September 19 – 22 of this year, Makuhari will become the host of the Tokyo Game Show 2013. TGS 2013 will showcase the world’s best and most exciting in computer entertainment.

Tearing Down the Rest In Peace Department (R.I.P.D.) Because We Can

Movie PosterWhen good cops die, they do not necessarily go to Heaven. They have the option to join the Rest In Peace Department (R.I.P.D.) instead. For this film that is now out of the box office and heading to second tier theatres for a resurrection, the price of going to see this flick is not too bad.

LEGO Ghostbusters? Oh Yes, Brick it on!

An anniversary LEGO Ghostbusters set is one step closer to realisation.

thumb640x360-2More than 8,000 supporters have made their voices heard on LEGO Cuusoo, and an unofficial number of 10,000 has made the LEGO company consider manufacturing a LEGO Ghostbusters 30th anniversary set.

The entire team of Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore and Slimer will get recreated in LEGO. The Ecto-1 and Firehouse will be the centerpiece and … waitaminute, where’s Janine? She’s just as important too, and let’s hope she is not forgotten.

On the CuuSoo page, LEGO stated: “Ghostbusters fans around the world have shown that they want to see a commemorative LEGO set and you’ve now reached the milestone where we will evaluate the potential of creating a set based on your proposal.

“We’ll build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product. This includes factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand. Every potential LEGO product goes through a process like this and must meet the same standards.”
