Toys Games & Hobbies

Ever watch someone unveil their very serious and impressive RC vehicle – be it boat, plane, or four wheeled – and think, “man that looks so fun, those people are super cool?” Ok, so, maybe not that last part, but the first one is absolutely true. I was recently given a chance to play with some of these ultimate “Big Kid” toys. Powerful, awesome looking, wonderfully designed: I’m talking about the E-Maxx and E-Revo by Traxxas. Come on, let’s take a spin.

Beasts of Balance is a fun and unique app enabled game that puts you and your friends together to create a jungle world full of creativity and ingenuity.

If you are into toys, tech, gadgets, software, or any and all of the above, you might just want to lean in a little closer.

Real cars with really intellegent AI, play against friends, or the smartest little cars you ever met in a head to head battle around a large race track that actually takes up space in your house. Score points, level up, upgrade your machines, its all there, and all with the added bonus of having a cool toy to show off.  It’s Anki Drive folks, and its a heck of a lotta fun.

When thinking of a drone, the image of a quadcopter probably comes to mind, and that’s what makes the Parrot Disco so unique. It’s a fixed-wing drone, with entirely different design and flight mechanics than just about anything else in the consumer drone category. Taking this for a few sessions feels like wielding power in the air.

Playing outside and getting fresh air is important for kid's growth and development. They'll also have fun and make lifelong memories.

When you have a drone, the possibilities for fun are endless. Here's a look at photography drones, drones designed for fun, and other types you can choose.

DJI announced a new iteration of one of its smallest drones in the Mini 3, small enough to fit in your pocket and easier to fly.

Join me today for a look at the VEX Robotics Construction Set - Robotic Arm. This set, which is a STEM learning toy, is a mechanical crane that you build yourself. It also actually works!
