I have wanted to try Rotten's candy for FOREVER as I kept getting advertised for them. A lower calorie nerd cluster alternative? I'm interested 🤔 But they have had long shipping times and I never pulled the trigger. Imagine my surprise when I saw them at Lowe's! Given this opportunity, I finally grabbed them and wanted to share my thoughts in case you wanted to know what they taste like (plus stick to the end for a surprise super star that wasn't even supposed to be here, bu

Fair warning, this one is short which is why it is a tad late. I was making sure that I didn't miss anything on accident since there was so few on my list. Summer had me running all over trying to track down everything worth grabbing, but this round just didn't have the same pull. Nothing wrong with that, not every month needs to be a frenzy, but it does mean I only have a few things worth talking about instead of a whole haul. Let's take the reprieve as a break for the walle

Escape rooms have gained a lot of popularity over the last several years, so you have a lot of choice out there and might be wondering "is this local escape room any good?" Well dear reader, I'm here to answer that question about the Game Over franchise! For anyone who hasn't looked into it, Game Over isn't some little mom and pop shop that popped up in a strip mall last year, it's actually one of the biggest escape room chains in the world, with locations spread across dozen

I miss the days of BlackBerry and Flips that had physical keyboards. There is just something so much more satisfying about typing when it's on a physical keyboard compared to a digital one. Plus, though I have no evidence for this, I think that typing on a physical keyboard has less mistakes overall. So when I saw an ad for Clicks keyboard, I thought that this is the product that will end my woes in an all digital keyboard age! Unfortunately my hopes were dashed, but let's ge

A lot of fun stuff has been happening in the building brick scene recently, which is always a nice thing to see! A few new companies have come out to show their products and with licensed stuff no less. But do they hold up to classic Lego? Let's see! ​MEGA Squid Game Action Figure Building Toy The Staircase As I've said before, I think copywrite law should be shortened in order to allow for products like this to exist. Creativity gets stifled if people aren't allowed to use a

I've got a stacked lineup this time, so let's just dive right in. Third party, official, model kits, one genuinely massive Target exclusive. A little bit of everything for the month of August! Dr. Wu MC-05 Disc Jockey Frenzy Let's get one thing straight, I very much dislike Bayverse Frenzy and understand why he has been kind of a punching bag since 2007, but I love Dr. Wu so I'm willing to give the little freak a chance. He's small, only about 12 cm tall, which tracks since F

I have always been curious about Displate. It takes what's great about a poster, having an image you can temporarily put on your wall, while fixing the issues that come with having a poster, namely that it's impossible to not damage it when hanging it up (I mean I guess you can get fancy and put it into a frame, but who has the money or time for that?). Plus all the YouTubers were hawking it a few years ago, so it made me curious if they are worth it. So I ordered some to see

I have been eyeing 3D printers for a while now, but have had some meh experiences early in their development that had me hesitant to get back into it because my frustration tolerance for items that aren't out of box stunners is pretty low. So after lots of research, I settled on Elegoo's Centauri Carbon 2 with various filaments to try out. The print quality is top notch! Layer lines are tight, first layers stick without any fuss, and I've had multicolor prints come out lookin

I guess this blog is slowly transforming (see what I did there? 🤣) into a Transformers blog. Don't worry peeps, as the spooky season comes along (which we all know starts on July 5th) I will be incorporating much more Halloween events so look forward to seeing those popping up soon! But, until then, let's see what July has brought us in the Transformers space. Dr.Wu DW-ES07 Cyber Excavator & DW-ES08 Cyber Bulldozer This pair is Dr Wu's take on Scrapper and Bonecrusher, based

As the weather is heating up, the drops don't stop in Transformers land! I've had a stack of stuff come in over the last little while, everything from tiny legends scale guys to an enormous MP scale Devastator leg. This one's a big one so get ready peeps! Magic Square MS-B12 & MS-B13 Pillage & Contain (Drag Strip & Dead End) I love what Magic Square has been doing with this whole legends scale Stunticon lineup and this two pack is a nice little closer for it. Pillage and Cont

Hello peeps!! I had a lot of mix mash of stuff arrive in June and most of them didn't seem to warrant a whole post for themselves. Annnnnd y'all seem to enjoy the round-ups for the Transformers so why not do one for all the goodies I got in June?! No worries though, we will still do a dedicated Transformers June Post so be on the lookout for that in the next few days 🤠 So here we go! TAMASHII NATIONS Samus Aran (Metroid Prime 4: Beyond ver.) Chogokin Figure This thing is hea

This month delivered a genuinely chaotic spread of everything from big retail Leader Class figures I actually managed to find in the wild, to Legends scale engineering that continue to blow my mind, to a couple of items that had me scratching my head. It was a lot. It was a lot a lot with some winners and a few losers. Let's get into it! Transformers Age of The Primes The Thirteen Liege Maximo Leader Class Okay so the Age of the Primes line has been doing something genuinely

Leatherman Arc To be open from the jump, I will let you know that I am a fan of Leatherman as a company. Their warranty is amazing and reminds me of a time gone by where companies actually gave a crap about the products they put out. So I have high hopes for this multi-tool. I spent the past few weeks carrying the Leatherman ARC, which replaced my previous version that was my EDC for several years, and I kept catching myself flipping it open just to admire it. The black and s

Howdy peeps! Another day, another random review for you. I bought some these energy powders off of Amazon to recreate a Boba drink that is a mix of taro and cotton candy that I had recently (bonus recipe at the end!!). So what did I think of them? Let's see 😎 First off, these tubs are TINY. For thirty bucks a pop, I am a tad miffed that the product is a tiny little tub of powder that is about half full. If you are expecting Gamer Supps or GFuel sized tubs then you are going

Let me start off by saying that Samsung is on my list after trying to get this phone. It was a NIGHTMARE experience and I'm going to try not to be sour about it, but the for a mega corporation like Samsung one would hope that the launch of a flagship phone would have been handled more properly. So I tried to get the TriFold on the first release, but it sold out before I was even able to check out. Strike one Samsung. Second release I was not hopeful. It took a bit longer to s

April came in like a fright train and it is absolutely not going out quietly, because this month dumped a truly unhinged amount of Transformers content on my shelf and on my wallet. From chunky third-party heavy hitters to retail surprises I genuinely was not prepared to find at my local Walmart, this was a wild one. Let's get into it! 😍 Cang-Toys TA-HYL003 Longyan Hero Class Breakhorn (Slag) Cang-Toys continues their wild ride through the Dinobots with the Hero Class Breakh

I don't drink most of the time, but on the occasion that I want the taste of beer without the alcohol content. These are great options so that you can have something if your hand during social gatherings if you are the DD or you just don't want to drink! But the unfortunate thing is that they are usually expensive. So I tried a few so you don't have to! Which ones sucked and which ones are worth checking out? Let's see! Just as a heads up, I got all of these at my local Walma

I usually sleep on Aldi, mostly because they close at 8pm and I can never get there before then 😅 I am also not a huge fan of the no bags/pay for a cart shtick, but that's more of an annoyance rather than something that keeps me away from Aldi. Recently though, Aldi has been coming up in my feed to show me some pretty cool stuff and I was able to make it to my local Aldi before 8pm to get some of the neat finds! But are they really worth the trip? Let's find out! Aldi Kirkto

Another month come and gone, you know what that means....TRANSFORMERS! Lets see what this month brought me 😍 4th Party MP-10 OP Shattered Glass Version This is one of those releases that lives entirely on vibe, and honestly? The vibe is strong. The Shattered Glass deco — all purples, dark tones, and that slightly unhinged heroic energy — looks fantastic on the MP-10 mold. Even as a 4th-party interpretation, it captures that “what if Optimus was the villain” aesthetic in a wa

I love BioShock, it is my favorite game series! When these pops came up on my feed (which I cringe in saying that, but it is what it is living in the modern age) I preordered them to add to my collection of BioShock stuff. I got them from Amazon, which was a smooth experience and probably the most enjoyable part of this whole ordeal. I am glad that the mad dash to get pops before they sold out is done with, those were not fun times. Spoiler alert but the word for this collect
