Giant Star Wars Ice Cube Trays

By now we have all seen the small ice cube trays made by Kotobukiya including such favorites as Han Solo in Carbonite, (The Empire will reimburse you if he melts)  R2-D2, The Millennium Falcon, The Death Star, X-Wings, Imperial Star Destroyers and more, but now they have upped the anti with giant sized ones!

The giant sized ones are 11 inches tall by 5 inches wide and almost 3 inches deep.  They come in Han Solo in Carbonite, R2-D2 and Millennium Falcon version have just arrived!

These silicone trays are not only great for making giant ice cubes, but also for making crayons, candy, chocolate, jello, and I was told that they CAN BE USED FOR BAKING!!!!

I really want to make a Han Solo in Carbonite cake.  Honestly, who doesn’t want one?!?!?

Because of the great response we got to our moving sale last week we have decided to extend the sale into this week. So for the next three days we will continue to take 25% off every purchase in the store!

This sale is in-store only and will last from Feb. 4th through Feb. 6th, 2013.

Moving Sale! Everything is 25% off!

We are here in our last few days of operating out of our Wharton Blvd. location, and it occurs to us that it would be much easier to sell off a bunch of toys than to move them to our new Eagleview Blvd. location. So we are having a one time only 25% off everything in the store sale! This sale is for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday only, so stop in soon!

As of next Monday (Feb. 4th) our Wharton Blvd. location will be closed. Our new location will open up in just a few weeks, and we’ll keep you posted on our progress!

This sale is in store only, and effective from Jan. 30th through Feb. 1st, 2013. This sale cannot be combined with any other offers. 

-Allen

Ps: We have cool new Lego toys! You won’t find a better sale!

The Lego Creator Thunder Wings is only $14.99* with the sale!

Twitter Party with Eco Incognito #RealToys

This Tuesday, we are holding our second Twitter Party! 

Our friend Jeannette over at Eco Incognito will be helping to host the event.  Here is what she has to say: 

Since I am a natural lifestyle blogger, it’s a challenge as a consumer to find popular toys and games for my little girls (ages 5 months and 19 months.) It seems like everything on the market requires batteries, is manufactured in a toxic factory, or worse, contains toxins in the dyes and materials. I know that there is a huge market for flashy toys, but the number of parents seeking thoughtful, well-constructed, safe toys is growing each day. Bull Market Toys recognized this and wants our help in determining which toys to carry in 2013! 

They already have a huge selection of Melissa and Doug toys, tools, and games, but they are eager to identify more items to foster creativity in our children. Inspired by some of the most popular shops on Etsy, they are actively working with these brands to bring real toys to the market in their popular shop. If you haven’t shopped at Bull Market Toys before, you’ll love that it combines the fantastic customer service of a small business with the convenience of an online shop. I have partnered with Heather from Diapered Daze and Knights and the folks at Bull Market Toys to bring you an informative and fun twitter party on Tuesday, January 29th at 9 PM EST. We are giving away three giftcards to Bull Market Toys and announcing a coupon code for 15% off.

Join us, with our friends @GreenChildMag from Green Child Magazine to talk about #RealToys during our twitter party.

Ultra Magnus and Thundertron

We recently got a small stock of two of the most anticipated Transformers Voyagers figures this year, Ultra Magnus and Thundertron!

Magnus is a great homage to both his original character, and his Transformers Animated incarnation, with a rifle/hammer combination that has an actual working mechtech locking switch!

Thundertron is the leader of the new beast pirates, and will be a central  part of season 3 of Transformers Prime.  Not only is he a pirate (with sword and peg leg) but he transforms into a lion!!!

Grab them if you see them!
