LEGO USSR 7
Gorby!
Quick- what do you remember about this man: his freeing up of the media and more or less bringing communism to an end in the USSR, or that birthmark? If you picked the latter, then Wiki this guy (and [tongue-in-cheek] shame on you!).
Somewhere online, there's a picture of Gorbechev and Obama meeting in the white house a few months ago. It's pretty awesome!
Cool, huh? Jp and I've been getting into Godzilla big time for the last couple of weeks. I'm most pleased with the Gigan, but I think the traditional Godzilla (as opposed to Space Godzilla) is a better crowd pleaser.
Despite it barely becoming the middle of October, we're getting ready for Christmas here at Wet Paint. We had this shipment of this utterly charming German paper activity kit, a Bastelbox by Folia. Really cute, but determining it as a regular stock or a holiday stock has been a talking point of cultural philosophy.
TTYL!
