Cars vs Trains

 

More slot cars vs trains! Got Sally from Disney Pixar Cars. This time Lightning McQueen, Sally, Spongebob, and Mario are pitted against Iron Bert who is only going one speed – fast. Iron Bert is a Lionel Trains locomotive from Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends

Devious Diesel vs Thomas the Tank Engine

I was feeling very sick today so I had to do a video with no talking. How do you like this format?

Connor and more – different versions

Found that there are indeed 2 different versions of Take N Play Connor. We also look at our Connor collection, more MEGA Bloks, and Gashapon Capsules. Got a Six Flags Thomas item too!

Our MEGA Bloks Collection is Growing!

My goal is to get every Thomas and Friends MEGA Bloks character ever made. It has been challenging because MEGA Bloks is not as popular as LEGO and there are not as many comprehensive websites with proper lists. Most of my search involves looking at images and trying to determine if the version is different than in other sets. It is very hard to tell some times. We have most of them now. Working on some of the very rare ones now like Flynn and Spencer.

Also working on my “Dress as Your Sigfig” costume. I have most of what I need except a proper train hat. I have a big head (size not smarts – lol) so it is hard to find one in my size. Most people were smaller in the real heyday of trains.

Spongebob and Patrick Carrera Go Slot Cars

Got the Carrera Go Patrick Star and Spongebob Squarepants slot cars to try out against Thomas the Tank Engine. Of course accidents will happen:

Geotrax Trains

The first video I ever uploaded was about Geotrac (on BrickTsar Toys):

Geotrax was a train system made by Fisher Price. It was one of the most durable Train toys that we have owned. My son loved running the Trains on the elevation tracks. The Trains held up well to rough play and crashes. The one downside is that occasionally the locomotive motors will lock up. This has a simple fix I call the Fred Sanford Method:

The Hrlix is my favorite thing to do with the elevation tracks:

 

They even made themes around DC Super Heroes Batman and Disney Pixar Cars:

 

 

Sadly, Fisher Price discontinued the Geotrax line and popularity and interest in it has waned. We have a massive collection that we will sell on eBay except for a small amount of favorites:

How Long of a Train will we make?

Our MEGA Bloks Thomas & Friends Collection keeps growing!

More MEGA Bloks Thomas and Friends

We get a very large box of Thomas the Tank Engine Mega Bloks from eBay. Also a bunch of Track Master trains and a small lot of Take N Play with some neat characters from eBay. Much more to come!

Sphero BB-8 App Controlled Droid – Star Wars

For Force Friday we got the BB-8 App Controlled Droid by Sphero. My son has unboxed it and done a review. I knew it was high quality but it is even better than I thought. It is interactive and easy to use. It is even water resistant. We will see how it gets along with our cat Chrissy.
