Kid-sized protective ear protection for the kid. I put some monster truck stickers on there for him.

We’ve got a brand new Hexbug Nano Elevation Habitat video podcast up now!

We’re giving away three (3) brand new Hexbug Nanos because we love them so much, we think you’ll get hooked once you play with one. There are three ways to enter the drawing to win.

1. Follow NonToxicReviews.com on Twitter and then send a tweet @nontoxicr. This way we know you’re intending to enter.
2. Follow MillionairePlayboy.com on Twitter and then send direct a tweet @landodapimp (MillionairePlayboy.com is our popculture blog that started it all)
3. Friend MPb on Facebook and post something on the wall.

We will pick one random winner from each of these methods. You can enter all three, but we’ll make sure it’s three different people who win.

We want you to follow us online so that you’re up to date with our live-Tweeting from Toy Fair. We’ll be there starting February 13th tweeting updates and photos in between our regular coverage and before the videos get posted, and we don’t want you to miss out.

(We also don’t want you to say “Yeah, yeah Mr. Stinkhead, I’ll follow you… or whatever” and then forget)
Good luck! The deadline is February 11th, because the next day I’ll be in NYC!

I loved the Lego Collector iPhone app that scans the barcode of the individual blind packed Lego minifigures (in series 1 & 2) to cheat a little and let you know who’s inside. Then series 3 came out, and there are no more barcodes! A few sites posted a little chart that purported to reveal which figure was inside based on raised bumps on the packaging. I tried following them along and couldn’t make a positive match on any of them.

Low and behold, I return to my Toys R Us (after Christmas), I see the box of Series 3 minifigs, and what what WHAT, they’re labeled! They were all clearly marked with a little printed sign taped onto the package. Did Lego did this? Did a generous employee? Is this widespread? Anyway, I’m happy, I got my Gorilla suit and Sumo wrestler figures! Let me know in the comments below if your store has the same!

Psst, I just tweeted this on our NonToxicReviews.com Twitter Feed, check it out and follow us!

We’ve been playing with the Hexbug Nano set a lot lately and the batteries are dying. We went to Toys R Us tonight to get replacement batteries and they were all sold out of the $3 Hexbug Battery 2 packs. We found out the $3 three packs (Duracell  303/357) work just as well. Hooray!

Check out our video of the Hexbug Nanos.

Pssst, join our Twitter feed, I tweeted this tidbit earlier today!
