| 859 | Article | Vaporman87 | Just reading about your experiences with Children's Palace makes me wish there had been one here in our area during my youth. The closest thing we had for the longest time was Kay-Bee Toys in the mall. Toys 'R Us didn't come around until later for us. I can only imagine the grief I would have given my parents to take me to a Children's Palace. The long commercial segment was awesome. There were several toys in there that I have no memory of ever seeing. Things like the Motor Mouth board game, and the Tiger piano game... great stuff. I really could have done without the curly haired "comedian/rapper" guy though. LOL Great fun Miss M. Thanks for this. | Children's Palace Was Real | Nov 16, 2013 |  |
| 858 | Article | MissM | Thanks for the comments! I am glad this was a fun read for you all. Fulton, you are so right. Everything requires special bricks now for sets. It is so frustrating at times to finish a set if the pieces are missing. It's always that random piece too! vkimo, I am so glad you mentioned the Paradisa set! I loved that series so much. I wish I could transport myself to those sets all the time. lol And Vaporman, Lego has been evolving their minifigures for quite some time. The pirate really showed off just how creative that could be. I forgot to mention that the pirate minifigures were the first to really sport different facial expressions through the use of beards and facial hair. It is all so interesting and fun. | Miss M’s Top 10 Lego Minifigures! | Nov 15, 2013 | |
| 857 | Article | Fulton4V | These are so cool. I had bunch of the regular sets and a couple of specialty sets. Then they got sold a one my moms many yard sales. I wasnt playing much with them but man I wish I had them now. Everything uses special pieces now. Not like it used to be where you just had to build it from regular blocks no matter what it was. | Miss M’s Top 10 Lego Minifigures! | Nov 14, 2013 | |
| 856 | Article | vkimo | Haha nice article! I had/have a few of these. The ghost came with the Knights Castle set, which was basically the premiere Lego castle at the time. I have the Paradisa set at home and it acts as a Zen Garden of sorts for me because anytime I'm stressed I just look at it and imagine I'm there. | Miss M’s Top 10 Lego Minifigures! | Nov 13, 2013 | |
| 855 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Nice collection Miss M! I don't know why, but I was surprised by the amount of creativity that Lego put into these figures of the past. I associate all the little creative touches and added flourishes with today's Lego figures. I don't know why I didn't realize how far back Lego has actually been playing around with the original design of the minifigs, and coming up with new and different ways to play around with the concept. Out of the bunch, I would say the pirate takes the cake... at least in terms of uniqueness. Great list Miss M! Thanks for this. | Miss M’s Top 10 Lego Minifigures! | Nov 13, 2013 | |
| 854 | Article | SegaFanatic | I'm a gamer, and I've NEVER heard of this series. Good work on your part. This was an interesting read. | The Jet Set Willy Saga | Nov 10, 2013 | |
| 853 | Article | Benjanime | that does sound weird. but i assume that any kids that actually missed out on halloween night wouldn't mind it | Benjanime's Halloween Retrospective | Nov 08, 2013 | |
| 852 | Article | Vaporman87 | I just now noticed in the first Golden Girl commercial that they show some of the male figures right at the end. They actually look kind of cool, from what I could tell. | Attack of the Warrior Women! | Nov 08, 2013 | |
| 851 | Article | MissM | Yeah, a cartoon would have possibly helped Golden Girl. (I even think there may have been an attempt, but I don't know if anything was ever officially produced.) I remember as a kid looking at this line and only thinking, "Gee, what's with the pretend She-Ra line?" She-Ra was fortunate to be a spin off of He-Man, it stretched that whole fantasy universe out that much longer. Golden Girl did have some male characters, but they weren't a part of any commercial that I have ever found. Both lines existed in such a strange time for toy collecting though! Glad you enjoyed reading this! | Attack of the Warrior Women! | Nov 08, 2013 | |
| 850 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah. It's funny how age changes things like that. Pretty soon we will be the ones handing out the coupon books. LOL | Top 5 Best and Worst things to get in... | Nov 07, 2013 | |
