I think we’ve all played with LEGOs at one point in our lives and while they’re fun to build, there’s not much you can really do with them afterwards other than display them, or tear it all apart again and build something else. That might change with LEGO Super Mario as it looks like this … Continue reading

I believe this may be our very first toy review here at The Gamer With Kids but I don’t see why it has to be our last. I mean one of the aspects of raising children is being able to enjoy all the neat toys that are available to them. Sure the toys are supposed … Continue reading
I don’t really post much up on Kickstarter projects but when I do there’s usually a good reason. Take this one for instance which is a project by a good friend of mine, Nikki Olida of GoldenJellyBean fame. She is best known for her custom crochet “sackboy” dolls and now she wants to teach you … Continue reading
Back in November, I had a chance to play with Crazy Aaron’s Super Magnetic Thinking Putty. It was something totally different from what I usually look at on here but it was fun nonetheless. I’ve played with clay and putty before but the fact that Thinking Putty is able to be magnetized makes it loads … Continue reading

The other day, I was sent something totally different from what I normally look at here. In fact, it’s something that normally my son plays with on occasion if someone happens to give him an egg full of it. It’s putty, but what I got is something more than putty.

This may not be an official Transformer, but this is probably the closest you’ll get so far to real working robot that transformers into a vehicle. Built by Kenji Ishida of JS Robots, this is Version8 of his design. I’ll say that it’s very impressive and can’t wait to see what kind of improvements he … Continue reading
This is actually something really neat we are doing with our son this year for Christmas. We’ve always wanted to do an Advent Calendar for him but never really knew what to for him as we didn’t want to just give him candy or useless little trinkets. Well, when I saw this, I knew we had … Continue reading
I’m a big fan of vinyl toys, especially those that are featured at Kidrobot. They are usually really cool looking and are in essence, tiny pieces of vinyl art. If you’re a fan of Capcom’s popular STreet Fighter series, you’ll be happy to note that Kidrobot will be selling blind assortments of 3-inch vinyl Street … Continue reading
Poison shroom alert! Mario and Luigi should not be in the area when you crochet this…… just a suggestion.
I saw this over at Autoblog and having lived through the 80’s, Transformers was one of my favorite cartoons at the time. In fact, I still have a special place in my heart for the original ones so seeing this really brought back some memories. The above pic is just a snippet of the massive … Continue reading
