Just finished my movie marathon of The Pacific which first came out in 2010 and was produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. This is an accompanying series to the 2001 released Band of Brothers. This is my second time to watch this as I first watched it when it came out in 2010. The series comprises of 10 episodes being about 50 minutes long.

Yet another beautiful Transformers transforming toy from the Leader Class line of Hasbro/Takara-Tomy. This time its the Leader Class: Starscream from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie that came out in 2009. This particular toy was released in 2009 in time for the movie and was made in Vietnam.

Leader Class: Sentinel Prime by Takara-Tomy/Hasbro from the recently released Transformers:Dark of the Moon Movie. In the movie, Sentinel Prime was one of the Primes that crash landed on the dark side of the moon that according to the fictional account of the movie was what set off the race to the moon. He was voiced by Leonard Nimoy who also voiced Galvatron in the Transformers movie that came out in the eighties.

Update: My suspicions were correct, it was indeed the charger plug that was defective. Read on below to see how I was able to fix the problem.

My son got an early Christmas gift from his grandmother, which was a Dream Machine: Eagle Blade. Its one of those China made R/C helicopters that you see in the mall as well as for sale in Alibaba. I’ve always wanted one but never got to buying one because of its steep price (around $80). I’m very thankful that I didn’t plunk down any cash for this as things didn’t really go as planned in terms of enjoying this toy. This toy is recommended for kids 8 years or older, but as with any RC toy, check first if your kid has the proper dexterity and fine-motor skills to control an RC toy.
