I usually don’t do reviews on new toys but I just couldn’t pass this one up. I originally heard about this Lego series about a month ago and thought that they would ship around October. To my surprise, while I was looking through the toy aisles at my local Target, I came across a new […]

The Rube’s Review: Ghost n’ Goblins (Capcom/NES 1986)
When I was a kid, I loved birthdays, birthdays were always a big deal. It was never about the presents, it was always about the cake. Growing up with very little sugar, cake was always one of those “supertreats” that I usually would have to wait all year for and usually would eat so much […]

Do you remember Star Trek: The Next Generation? Man, there were some great episodes on that show. I remember when I was a kid I couldn’t wait to see a new episode with ‘Q’ or the Borg (ships go BOOM!). Then there would be a boring episode that would usually take a break from that […]

I LOVE Universal monster movies! Calling me a fan is just an understatement. My collection of UM collectibles is full of 60’s Soakie toys, PEZ dispensers, masks, artwork, model kits, Super 8 films, signed collectibles, and about 60 years of action figures and toys. I’ve seen the classics so many times I can almost repeat […]
