CaptainsCast 016 - That's a mouthful

We're back after missing a week. Ben introduces you to his kids news segment about Sam the koala bear. We also take a majority of the show to talk about ToyFair 2009 and all of the great new toys coming out this year from Hasbro, Lego, Nerf, etc.

We also welcome you to come join us in Ben's science fair project - "Is Wii bowling accurate to real bowling?" If you can bowl three games of actual bowling, and have access to bowling three games of Wii bowling, we need you. Please email us at Captaincast@gmail.com and we will send you the form. we'll also give you a mention on the show for the help you gave us in the research.

No CaptainsCast this week

We just didn't get it together this week, so we decided to postpone a week. We should be able to bring you plenty next week as the New York Toy Fair concludes, the Dayton 500 has run, and we had some bowling adventures. Se ya next week.

Lego coolness

I used to watch Star Blazers on channel 19 back in the late 70's/early 80's. It was a japanese cartoon with a space/sci-fi theme. Someone has built a custom Battleship Yamato from the show in Lego form. Check out the link.
