Toy Fair 2010: Off the Beaten Path, Technology-wise
Written on Mar 2, 2010 by RuthJS and filed under Featured, News
One of the really cool things about Toy Fair is that along side the big toy manufacturing conglomerates like Mattel, Fisher Price, Hasbro, VTech, and Lego, you also get to see small mom and pop shops, toys that are waiting to be picked up for manufacturing, and items sold overseas looking for a market share in the US.

Review: LEGO Stop Animation Video Camera
Written on Jan 14, 2010 by RuthJS and filed under Lego, Reviews
LEGO has lent its formidable brand and style to Digital Blue, a leader in photo and video equipment for kids. The result: one cool video camera! The LEGO Stop Animation Video Camera records videos, takes still shots, and (coolest of all) makes stop animation movies. I love it, my testers love it, but it’s not without its quirks. Still, it would be hard to find a cuter video camera with a wider appeal.
