"Wanted List" - Random

I was just bouncing around the net and I thought of something that just has to be added to the wanted list.  I could picture it now, mounted on the wall above the fireplace.

"Wanted List" - Boardgame Edition

I had the guys over on Saturday for some board game action, some Dominion, Settlers of Catan and the finally opened Ticket to Ride.  We've got a pile of games, but you've only got space for so many different games and only so much time before you just get tired.

It got me thinking, I really need to put together a list of games that need to be added to the Media Room shelves.

First up, you'd think I'd already have everything that you could possibly get for Catan.  I'm quite obsessed with Catan to the point that my license plate is Catan themed.  Over at Kickstarter you can take a look at this amazing Catan project to actually keep the cards in place.  This thing is beautiful, sadly I'd need like six or seven of them to fit all my Catan pieces.  Regardless, this will become a must.

Next up and keeping up with the Catan theme is these amazing Catan Coasters.  Both awesome and educational all at the same time.  We're already taking up precious table space with the building card, why not make it do something useful.  These are available at the very cool Catan Shop. What? You don't have a Catan T-Shirt, Apron or Catan Cake Tin? Well then head on over.

Enough Catan, next up is another recent find.  These games are a bit older now, but I've been so locked into Catan that I've only just opened up to other games.

So, after playing Dominion for like 10 minutes I knew was hooked and needed more.  So, like Catan I feel the need to line some shelves of the Media Room with most of the expansions.

Over the weekend, I finally broke out Ticket to Ride.  I've had this one in a box for a couple months know and never got a chance to play it.  It took a couple of games but I'm hooked.  Downloaded it for my Ipad last night and played way too much last night and way too much today at work.  So again, we need to expand the gaming universe and pick up some more.

Next up is an expansion of a game that I have but I've yet to play. 

So that's it for now, I'm sure a visit to the game store we'll able to find more great games that need to be played.

For great prices and a great selection of games head on over to Geek Stop Games based out of London for all your gaming needs.  There is more to life out there than Monopoly.

"Wanted List" - Construction Blocks Edition

The other day I posted my first "wanted list" teaser poster of the Kre-O GI Joe line come next year.  I've followed that up with some more great items that I'd like to have in the ol' Media Room on display for all to enjoy.

First off we've got the Mega Bloks ultimate Halo collection piece, Forward Unto Dawn and it comes in at a great total of 2877 pieces.  These aren't the pieces of our childhood. 

Next up we've got the Lego Ultimate Collector Series version of the Star Wars B-Wing.  At 26 inches tall, this bad boy belongs on most Media Room shelves.

Coming in the near future is a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle line with Lego, I'm not a fan of the sets.  But these mini-figures are pretty awesome.

We quickly get back to Star Wars and the beast of all beasts.  The Lego Death Star and this thing comes with 25 minifigures, measure basically like a 16x16x16 cube and contains a lovely 3803 pieces.  That B-Wing shelf better be re-enforced to also house this thing.

Let's keep that Star Wars theme going and next up is the Darth Vader's ride, the Super Star Destroyer. So big that it will get it's own shelf in the room because it's a whopping 50 inches long and contains a mind boggling 3152 grey pieces. This build would take such a long time and contains so much detail.  The instruction book alone is 228 pages.  228 PAGES!!!

That's it for now, but I'm sure I'll find some more cool stuff that I need to add to the Media Room before long.

On my "Want List" - G.I. Joe Kre-O

As a way to keep track of the cool things I'm looking for, I've decided to create an online wanted list.

All of these great items would look great in any media room.

The announcment was made at NYCC this past weekend and these minifigures are looking awesome.  They will be released in the New Year just before the next GI Joe Movie Drops.  Can't wait.
