Toy Collecting and Quarantine

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #00489

Before the Corona outbreak I was in and out of Targets almost every week and I always made a trip through the toy aisle. While there are many toys that I no longer collect there are some that I keep picking up whenever I can and mostly they are fun Hot Wheels cars. A few months back Hot Wheels released 5 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle character cars. They had the four turtles and a Shredder car. I found all of those ones and added them to my collection.

the other day I was on Amazon.com and saw that there were some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed cars. These are different than character cars. Character cars are made to look like the character and character themed cars may have images of the characters on them. That’s what the ones above are. They are character themed cars. I am not sure if they will be doing more cars like this or more character cars. There are many iterations of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and so far both the Character and Character Themed cars are from the 1980’s cartoon.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo. 

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.
