I Have Found My New Favoritest Toy Ever And Its Name is Big Blastin’ Rocket Raccoon

Before even seeing Guardians of the Galaxy, I knew Rocket Raccoon was going to be a breakout star. After seeing the film (twice so far!), I have no doubt he will rule Hollywood in 2014. I expect an Oscar in Rocket’s future. Maybe a “Raccoon of the Year” cover on TIME Magazine. And I expect a few hundred little costumed Rocket Raccoons begging for candy at my door this Halloween.

Yes I’m Playing With Guardians of the Galaxy Legos, Thank You Very Much

If you’ve followed my blog for awhile, you pretty much know that I love me some Legos. From Star Wars to Avengers to Back to the Future, it’s all just so incredibly… well… AWESOME! When I heard they were making Guardians of the Galaxy Legos, my head nearly exploded. Don’t worry, it didn’t. My noggin’s still safe inside my funny-shaped skull. So when Lego told me they were sending me a Guardians set, I cranked up …
