Disney Infinity: The Space Race

Sam and I have been working on our first Toy Box in Disney Infinity.  We build this one around the Toy Story theme.

We've been having trouble getting the tracks connected so you can actually do a real race.  It's working now, but we are not able to have all the ups and downs that we wanted... so we may keep trying.

So here's a video of the Space Race.  Enjoy :)

Our Disney Infinity Collection

Over the Christmas season we received many gift cards and some cash so we decided to get something that we normally wouldn't have picked up.  So we treated ourselves to the new video game Disney Infinity.  We're all big fans of Disney movies so this was a pretty easy sell.  And the beauty of it everything was significantly on sale for Boxing Week.

We've been having fun with the different aspects of the game.  Building, racing, ship battles, rocket packs.  This one has something for everyone.


Looking forward to more fun with this... Would love to see more classic Disney characters come out for this one.

Resurrection of the Hobby Blog!

With a New Year upon us I've been examining my usage of social networks and media... and felt it was high time to resurrect this blog from the dead.

Now... it's going to be different because, well, to be honest, our family hobby time has drastically changed over the course of the past year.  In the fall of 2012, my kids were going through some old family photo albums.  There they stumble on a picture of my old home office before they were born.  This office was completely filled top to bottom with my Star Wars collection.  They were shocked to find out that all of that stuff still existed stored away in boxes.  They asked if we could redo our hobby room with it.  Of course, that meant replacing all our Lord of the Rings and Warhammer miniatures to boxes.

About that same time I began looking into joining the 501st Legion.  This is a worldwide Star Wars costuming club who make movie quality costumes.  Not only that, but they also raise tons of money for different children charities, something which is very dear to my heart.  So I learned some basic sewing and plastic armour building... and we joined up.


So this blog will be refocusing on our different hobbies which we do together as a family.  It should be a lot of fun.  We hope you find it helpful.
