I attended an amazing event yesterday. Disney and Pixar showed the new trailer for Toy Story 3 at New York's impressive Gotham Hall. This incredible building was an perfect venue for a presentation by John Lasseter, the man behind all of the Toy Story movies, plus Cars, Up and countless other Pixar productions.
Lasseter was inducted into the Toy Industry Hall of Fame last night, and as a tribute to this high honor, the LEGO designers created a bust of Lasseter made entirely of LEGO bricks. The bust was a surprise and it was clear that Lasseter, an avid toy enthusiast and collector, was extremely impressed.
The event showcased new toys featuring Toy Story 3 characters and content and concluded with four uniformed, green-faced army men rappelling from the ceiling to the stage. I'm predicting that Toy Story 3 is going to be a huge property for 2010, with hundreds of toys accompanying the movie's June 18 release.

They are simply the best toy ever, my 4 year old and my 7 year old just love them. I got all my Zhu Zhu stuff from a store on ebay, most of the time the retail stores don’t have the stuff in stock or someone has already bought them up or the items you wanted are not there.
Have a great day all.
