Life Sized Gundam
If a Gundam mobile suit were for real, what would it look like? How about this?
This a full sized 59-ft replica of a Gundam suit constructed in Japan. Coolness, but how do you keep the birds from crapping all over it?

Weekend Pictures
Just a few pictures from over the weekend.
Got Wii? Toys R Us has them in stock if you must know. They also have all kinds of Transformer toys including action figures and voice mixing masks. I’m not sure what this book Stuff White People Like is all about, but it’s available at Borders. Hmm, solid reviews on Amazon.
Men and Their Toys
Men and their toys are going to get a boost when the new Lego store opens at Ala Moana on July 29. Hawaii reportedly has a big Lego fan base represented by the Lego Enthusiasts Association of Hawaii (LEAHI), hence the logical choice of opening a Honolulu location.
On August 15, the first 300 customers who spend $35 at the store will receive a special Lego set of a humuhumunukunukuapua’a and coral. That’s definitely a collector’s item!
I got to check this store out and perhaps, bring in some of my vintage stuff.
Thanks to @hawaii for the picture.
Cool Toy – Transformers Voice Mixer
With the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen releasing June 24, a bunch of new toys are hitting the shelves. Check out this Bumblebee Voice Mixer mask.
With this helmet, you can remix your voice with six different music styles and play sounds of Bumblebee transforming. The best thing, of course, is looking like Bumblebee.
Wear this to your next kickball game, and you’ll definitely get some props.
Meet Luna Purplefruit
Meet the latest Disney fairy to join Pixie Hollow. It’s Luna Purplefruit.
Make your own fairy or explore the online world at Pixie Hollow.
Meet Luna Lamb and Ovejita
The big one is Luna Lamb, and the little one is Ovejita (as in Murray and Ovejita on Sesame Street).
Hotness: Mighty Muggs
Caught my first sight of Mighty Muggs. Hotness!
These collectible figurines feature characters from Transformers, G.I. Joe, Marvel, Star Wars, and more. You can even design your own Mighty Mugg.
Lots and Lots of Legos
No duh, but Legoland has lots and lots of Legos. Not just in the park, but Legos that you can buy and take home with you.
Looks like a candy store.
Star Wars themed Legos.
Vintage Lego people. I have the 1978 spaceman, both the white and red ones.
Had to pickup this Darth Vader Lego keychain.
Potato Heads at Disneyland
Disneyland’s California Adventure has its share of Potato Heads in the park. Here’s a huge one outside of the Toy Story Mania ride.
You can pickup the latest Star Wars spuds like Luke Frywalker, Yam Solo, Darth Mash, Spuda Fett, and Princess Tater.
And of course, you can stuff as many parts into a box at the Build Your Own Potato Head stand.
