...if he was an avid Pokemon Trading Card collector he could well have a fortune in the darkened recesses of his bedroom. Pokemon cards have been around for quite some time now, there are a multitude of sets to collect, and if your children are anything like mine there is no way you can avoid buying the odd card or two. What a waste of money, or is it... Lee and Ben started collecting cards a couple of years ago. They started buying the odd pack with ...
...about?", a quick review. Pokemon Trading Crads are collectable cards that come in various sets, some of these are Base Set 1, Base 2, Jungle, Fossil, Team Rocket, Neo, and Neo 2.

Review of Pokemon

A couple of unlikely heroes dressed for a daring rescue !

Advantages: Great action figures from a memorable Star Wars scene ... detailed and highly colectable !!!
Disadvantages: These were very popular and are quite difficult to track down ...

~~~ Introduction ~~~ One of my all time favourite "Star Wars" moments is when Han Solo and Luke Skywalker recue Princess Leia from the Death Star's Detention Block. The scenes involve many elements of what actually made Star Wars such a wonderful movie ... daring heroes, a sense of adventure and a great deal of humour !!! In order to rescue the Princess, Han and Luke "borrow" two sets of Imperial Stromtrooper armour and disguised as soldiers ...
...Princess and eventually return the return the stolen Death Star plans back to the Rebel Alliance. ~~~ Galactic Heroes ~~~ Star Wars Galactic Heroes are miniature cartoon-like action figures based on some of the Star Wars Saga's greatest characters and vehicles. Whilst many are sold as single figures there are also a variety of larger playsets available too. Most Galactic Heroes, however, are sld in packs of two (like this one) and retail ...

Review of Hasbro Star Wars Galactic Heroes Luke / Han Stormtrooper Disguise

Silent Night ... Jedi Knight ... All Is Calm ... All Is Bright !

Advantages: A great set of festive themed Original Trilogy Star Wars Galactic Heroes !
Disadvantages: Can be way overpriced ... so please, shop around !!!

...Strikes Back the folks at Hasbro have got the cartoon likeness of Luke Skywalker spot on. *** On a side note, if only it had been the festive period in the Original Star Wars movie ... then Luke could have used the excuse that he was drunk at the Rebels Christmas Party when he later discovered that the woman he had been snogging was in fact his long lost sister Leia !!!! ~~~ R2-D2 ~~~ R2-D2 (or just Artoo) is the feisty little Astromech ...
...goes ... he was also recently voted the most well known of all movie droids (beating Arnie's Terminator to the number one position). On a personal note, Artoo is one my favourite Star Wars characters and the Galactic Heroes version looks awesome. As a Stocking Stuffer R2-D2 is wearing a little Santa Hat (made from real fabric) ... how cute is that ??? ~~~ Master Yoda ~~~ Size Matters Not is a phrase used by Master Yoda himself and is certainly ...

Review of Hasbro Star Wars Stocking Stuffers: Yoda, R2-D2 & Luke

Would you like something shocking in your stocking ???

Advantages: Cute miniature versions of favourite Star Wars characters with a festive twist !!!
Disadvantages: Can be very pricey ... so please shop around !!!

...the clever folk over at Hasbro HQ have perfectly captured the likeness of the character portayed on screen by Ewan McGregor. The Jedi Master holds his Lightsaber proudly ... a Lightsaber that has been transformed into a stack of brightly covered Christmas gifts !!! ~~~ Anakin Skywalker ~~~ Anakin Skywalker is Obi Wan's apprentice and future Dark Lord of the Sith ... and once again the figure has perfectly captured the on screen character ...
...like the troubled young Jedi we've all come to know though as his Ligtsaber has become a stripy candy walking stick !!! ~~~ Shocktrooper ~~~ He may have been cloned from Bounty Hunter Jango Fett but this Shocktrooper doesn't quite look ready for battle seeing as his blaster is poking out from a wonderfully festive looking wreath. His armour, however, fits in well ... being white and red !!! ~~~ Price & Availability ~~~ Stocking ...

Review of Hasbro Star Wars Stocking Stuffers: Anakin, Obi-Wan & Shocktrooper

Taters Of The Lost Ark !!!

Advantages: Another unique transformation for Mr Potato Head ... and this time there's music too !!!
Disadvantages: More expensive and harder to find than previous themed Mr Potato Head toys.

~~~ Introduction ~~~ I guess Mr Potato Head always fancied himself as a bit of an archeologist ... probably due to the fact that pototoes are grown underground. Or could it be that his previous appearances as Darth Tater, Spider Spud and Optimash Prime simply weren't exciting enough ??? Either way, Mr Potato Head is back !!! ~~~ Introducing ... Idaho Spud ~~~ Idaho Spud may be a well respected Prfoessor of Archeology and Ancient ...
...adventure has him dashing off into underground tombs in search of "fortune and glory" ... and the designers at Hasbro have once again created a unique look for Mr Potato Head that fans of the Indiana Jones franchise will instantly recognise and love. Whenever I think about Indiana Jones I get a mental image of Harrison Ford in his brimmed hat cracking his bullwhip and Idaho Spud certainly captures this image well. The potato body comes complete ...
