Lego Club Jr skateboard

Instructions on how to build a pretty weak interpretation of a skateboard, as seen in Lego Club Jr magazine, March/April 2014 edition.

I had a summer job before I went to college working at a Papermate Pens factory on the packaging line. During down time they had us opening up thousands of unsold disposable mechanical pencils that were packaged with promotional Q-bert erasers. I worked there with a friend, and most of the staff were temp workers. […]

Duck, duck, Badeente

Google Translate kind if stumbles over this one, turning “Badeente Skateboarder Quietschentchen Gummiente Plastikente” into “Rubber duck rubber duck plastic duck skateboarders.” So i, uh, wonder if… this guy is related to Tony… Hawk. (Sorry!) – Thanks to David ODK for the tip.

Lego Simpsons House

This incredible Lego set (71006 – The Simpsons House) comes out in Februrary. Sure, it’s got Bart Simpson on a skateboard and a quarter pipe, but really this is just an excuse to post about Lego again. I just picked up the Everstorm robotic set, err.. for my kids. Haven’t had time to start it […]

Hey Rocky…

I wasn’t sure what this was supposed to be, possibly some sort of a sickly mole or something. But from behind it looks like a rabbit. I thought it was old at first, but it turns out it came out in 2011 as a kids meal toy at Burger King in conduction wight the movie […]

Rad Dude Dicky

My Friend Jenny

My friend JeNny, [sic] a skateboarding “hip hop girl” circa 1999 from South Korea. Maybe it took a little longer for 90’s baggy jeans to make it to Korea. It’s only $19.99, but I don’t know about shipping it. The skateboard on the front of the box looks like a clown shoe. – Thanks to […]

Muppets. In your face, until you’re sick of them.

So this started off as a follow up find to the other picture of Mr. Snuffleupagus on a skateboard, but of course, I couldn’t leave well enough alone. It’s by no means the definitive Muppets skateboarding post, a good place to start for that is the Muppet Wiki. If only I could channel this enthusiasm […]

Oi! Jacko!

I have no idea who Oi! Jacko Gym was, but near as I can tell by this picture, he must have been some sort of middle aged, weight lifting Sting impersonator from Australia. He’s not content to just ride a skateboard, he’s got to lift weights at the same time. The box commands you to […]
