Ebay Store: Enter The Toy Box


So everyone knows that I am a huge toy and pop culture fan. I have decided to jump into seeing if I could sell some of toys online through Ebay.  Lately I have been purchasing large amounts of toys, especially TMNT toys.  It's getting harder and harder to find the items that I don't have and when I do I have to buy the whole lot so I thought I would start listing some of my doubles and odds and ends that I have laying around.  You can click on the photos above to visit my store.  My store is called "The Toy Box".  A fitting name indeed I think!

Hollywood Treasure

I just wanted to briefly talk about a very cool show on television.  I thought this show would be fitting for this site because of how big of a movie fan I am along with the toys and other pop culture items I delve in.  This show is called Hollywood Treasure and is on the Syfy Channel on Tuesday evenings.  The show follows Joe Maddalena and his crew as they scour the globe looking for rare movie items to in turn sell in their famous "Profiles in History" auctions.  They deal in everything from movie props to cameras and wardrobes.  It is a very interesting show and especially for those that are big movie buffs like myself or history fans.  Joe comes off as a real sincere guy and someone who is about wanting to get these items (some of which are found buried in garages among other places) to good homes to be taken care of and enjoyed for many years to come.  

Project X Review!

I had the chance last night to catch the flick, Project X.  Yes it has the same name as the 1980's Matthew Broderick film but is much, MUCH different.  I tend to get caught up in these reviews and write a lot more than what I originally intended.  I am going to not mention the actors yada yada yada because frankly you won't recognize them anyway.  Todd Philips, the director of such crazy films as Old School, Road Trip and The Hangover films produced this flick.  I don't think that really means much other than he stamped his seal of approval on it and his name being tagged to the film probably sold a few more tickets.

You have seen this film before.  If you have ever seen a teenage party film then you have seen this movie.  Where this film takes a turn is in how amped it get's.  Imagine the biggest, craziest alcohol, drug, sex infused party of all time and you will understand this movie.  Your main character is having a birthday and his 2 nerdy friends throw him a party at his own house.  What starts out as a backyard party with 30-50 friends turns into a block party with hundreds and mass carnage!

This film is shot with the first person perspective.  It was done well in the sense that it wasn't shaky cam all the time and you could see everything and not have a head ache afterwards.  It was funny. It was crude and dirty. If you like those kind of movies then you will relate and most likely enjoy this film.  It's a film about a big ass party and all the happenings that take place.  What can I say? There isn't much else to this film.  I am embedding the trailer below but be AWARE this is the REDBAND TRAILER.  Nudity, foul language and more is included.

Site Update 5.30.12

Well, what the hell! Here I am folks. You probably thought this site became one of those waste of space portals that just sits and rots the internet like the millions of pages before it and the millions to come. Your half right most likely. The fact of the matter is that life has kept me super busy as of late. This blog was meant to take up my time when I was laid off of work. It did that but now that I am working continually it becomes really hard to keep this site updated. I have also recently opened an Ebay store and have been dabbling in the sales of the things I love most. Vintage toys and collectibles. Am I saying that I am closing the site and won't keep it updated. No. I am saying what I always have said. Please bare with me. I haven't forgotten you and never will. You can keep up with me by becoming a fan of the site or friending me on Facebook. You can also check out my Ebay Store "The Toy Box" for all my vintage items.
