Tools And Hardware - permanent markers, silver


Sharpie makes a load of different color Sharpie markers, but none that comes out well against black, or similar dark background.



If you own brick power supplies, cables, DVD or BD players, many come in basic black. How do you label or mark these items, other than using white tape to write on with a black Sharpie?



Previously, the way to write on black was with a white paint or similar color oil based paint pen, made by Sharpie and others. These pens cost 3-4x more, dry out faster, need to be started before it writes, writes unevenly, but certainly was better than nothing.



Sharpie has succeeded in making a type of ink that provides a white like color, in this case silver. They did it by creating an ultra fine silverish powder dissolved in the same solvent used for their color markers. The result is a pen with ink that has all the same qualities as its standard markers, near the same cost, and the effectiveness of white paint on black backgrounds. But even more, the paint is more 'reflective' in low light conditions, creating a low cost reflector effect.



The metallic paint is as 'permanent' as the other markers, and eventually they do come off. But the pen is so easy to use, and cheap, that its effortless to re-write a label as needed.



What takes the ink off? Washing in hot water, constant rubbing, underwater submersion for multiple hours, extensively sunlight exposure, to name a few. But if the items are kept out of direct sunlight, and rarely touched, such as labels on items, it has remained on for years. I know, I've used Sharpies for over 10 years, and its the best marker pen I've used.



I buy black markers by the dozen. Its also really made in USA. Sharpie Metallic Fine Point Permanent Markers, 2 Silver Markers (39108PP)

I am an employee at a National Computer Repair depot. We use these markers for silver surfaces. they dry quick, leave a thick coat and are more durable than the original paint job. If this color is a match for what your using it on, you wont be disappointed. We have used this on hard plastic and metal.

I generally don't like markers, especially rarely-used ones as this metallic one. So, here, after one use, I sealed them back in the package.



Typically, markers then quickly dry out. After a year of storage, this still works!

If you are into scrapbooking or rubberstamping or any other type of paper art projects, this metallic ink Sharpie makes a spectacular addition to your craft kit. (Keep it away from your kids, however, as the ink is permanent.)

I use this marker to sign and title my black rubber 3-D artwork. Ink flows from the get-go and writes a crisp, clean silver line. Its slight sheen is a nice effect. I was considering using a white permanent marker, but am glad I opted for the silver for its classy look. The writing should be permanent as it's on the bottom of the pieces so is protected from sunlight. Very pleased with this product.

It must have been the day I fried my Cisco router when I decided I needed a way to mark the myriad power supplies for my electronics. Turns out that 1) my Cisco VOIP phone and Cisco router require different types of electrical power; 2) the power supplies for both devices fit into each device; and 3) plugging the wrong power supply into a Cisco router wrecks it.



This ink pen does a great job of writing on the black plastic so common with modern electronics. No more confusion about what power supply plugs into what device. Trying to fit a plug into a device is not a sound method of determining power requirements. Reading the miniscule script on the device is perhaps not an option for you either, given most Americans know more about Lady GaGa's eating habits than the difference between a volt and an amp. No, idiot-proof your life and use these pens to label your stuff so you don't find out the hard way it's the wrong power supply for your device.

I use these at autograph conventions and hand them out to celebrities to sign my posters. They work great and dry quickly. As long as there isn't anything constantly rubbing against the writing or in direct sunlight on a daily basis, it'll last a long time. - Pens - Marker Pens - Silver - Permanent Markers'

Jennifer Carpenter - the rock, action


This was a great modern exploitation movie. It had some decent acting, and contrary to some other reviews - The Rock hardly speaks in it, which is one of the things that makes it a great flick. He has tapped back into that imposing WWE persona, and brought it to the big screen again. His presence, his attitude and his demeanor is absolutely perfect for the role. There isn't an ounce of Tooth Fairy in this performance.



The overall story and how it plays out is very much influenced by the genre. There are so many great examples of this in the film, it really is a treat if you're into that. It's a really fine example of modern exploitation flimmaking. I don't know where CBS films is going to go, but hopefully they will not have given up on this type of movie.



Don't go into this movie thinking it's a highbrow heist film or savvy thriller - it's a visceral blow-em-up action flick that is probably best watched with your wife at the grocery store or at her sewing class. Crack open a beer, open up a bag of Little Smokies and sit on the couch for an hour and a half of blowing stuff up and sweet, sweet revenge - 80's style. Faster [Blu-ray]

I know this movie did not do that well money wise, but I thought it was the Rock at his finest. He was made for this role and performed it like a veteran actor. It is similiar to other movies involving revenge, but this movie takes it to a much higher and violent level. The action is very fast paced and actual bordered on brutal killings, which are great and crowd pleasing as you root for the protagonist to "Get Even". Billy Bob Thorton is good as always while playing a burned out detective.

I can not say too much more or it will spoil the different plot twists in the movie especially towards the end. You don't have to be a Dwyane Johnson fan to really love this movie. Johnson simply excels in his role due to his physicality in looking the part he is playing, and the bonus is the action and excitement. Great movie. If you saw "Walking Tall" and liked it, you will love this one all that much more as it is a much better movie.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has no real name in this movie, just his occupation: Driver. Similarly, Billy Bob Thornton is "Cop." That must have been difficult to come up with. A completely unnecessary third-wheel-subplot is present, showing off a millionaire software developer assassin who has mastered yoga (seriously) and gets to shag Maggie Grace - whose role as hot girlfriend is so pointless it should have been uncredited - is hardly worth mentioning.



After being released from prison, Driver jumps in the car set up by a P.I. acquaintance of his, drives to a local telemarketing office, and sprays some nerd's brain matter on the back of his cubicle. If there is a better way to get me on the side of a guy embarking on a cross-country, revenge-filled murdering spree - which is tracked by Cop and his partner Cop with Breasts (Carla Gugino) - then I don't know of it; because everyone hates telemarketers. Through flashbacks we learn that Driver's brother (and crew) were involved in a bank heist and later murdered for their score. Up next: Death Wish Johnson!



Flaws in character development abound, as very little is learned about Driver, but a ton of time is spent on Billy Bob's failed marriage, portly kid, and drug problem. Each of the characters is transparently established as flawed, and the certainty of their eventual revelation makes tomorrow's sunrise doubtful. The cinematography and limited special effects are both unremarkable. Acting-wise, this film has the gusto of a professional cast already reading their next script; it never reaches the crescendo of expected excitement. Evidently two decent car chases and a few head shots just wasn't enough to get the cast fully enthralled either. I will say, however, that Johnson definitely steps outside his comfort zone, displaying what appeared to be genuine vulnerability to pair with already mastered anger.



While disappointing, Faster is nonetheless in my beloved "Death Wish," screw with me and I'll kill everyone you know, category. So, for that, it gets extra points. Besides all that, I'm for any opportunity that keeps the Rock out of family films or a fairy costume.



Jason Elin

So I decided this evening that I was in the mood for some mindless action - not typically the genre I usually watch. But regardless, I decided to watch "Faster." I knew very early on that this was definitely a mindless action movie and not to have very high expectations. When the movie's main characters have names such as "Driver," "Cop," and "Killer," you don't really expect much. But about an hour into the movie, I was completely caught off guard.



The last thirty minutes or so of the movie are surprisingly and uncommonly powerful. I wouldn't nominate this film for any awards for its acting or its story, but for what the movie had me believing it was, the last third of the movie was quite emotional. I will admit that I was even a little choked up and almost teary during some scenes. But I have a tendency to really analyze those types of scenarios on a personal, and almost empathic level, so many of you may not have the same experience.



But regardless, it was a fairly decent revenge flick with plenty to keep you entertained.

The Rock appears in this action film about a man involved in a robbery, after which his brother was killed. When his prison sentence concludes, he seeks revenge on those responsible for his brother's death. During his pursuit of those whom he seeks, there is a hitman after him, the reasons for the hitman being hired being unknown to the audience until the film's conclusion. The men that are being pursued are primarily flawed criminals and the character portrayed by Dwayne Johnson has redeeming qualities, so the audience is not asked to invest any moral assessments, but the mystery of the hired assassin elevates this slightly above your standard revenge movie. - The Rock - Billy Bob Thornton - Blu-ray - Action'

Portable Grill - grill, gas grill


This works fairly well except that if your grill isn't very level then the slots/vents on the edges can "swallow" what you're cooking. We've found that in most cases it's better to use the stove grate accessory with a pan on top of that. Don't even think of cooking bacon on it (all the grease will run to the openings and give you a fire, we've used it for toasting bagels or warming up other items. Overall it's good, but not great. Coleman Road Trip Cast-Iron Griddle

This is a perfect partner to the Road Trip Grill! It great for breakfast! Pancakes, Toast, Bacon, eggs & every other breakfast goodie! Its also great for fajhita meat! It is a must have for any type of camping outing!

I really wanted to like this product more, and I have the grill to blame for part of it. This griddle has a number of large slit-like holes along the edges, which is fine if you're using any highly viscous materials like pancake batter or something. But if you use oil or other thin/watery foods, it'll run right down into the burners. I grilled onions with oil the other day for my polish sausages and dropped a good 2 tbs of oil in the grill before giving in and using spray intermittently. The onions eventually grilled up OK, but of course thanks to the stove-like effect of the grill the middle burned like crazy.



Overall a fun addition to the grill as it makes it more versatile, but like the grill itself it could use a much better design.

Purchased this grill to go with our Roadtrip Grill experience. I agree with other reviews, it's a MUST to accompany your Coleman grill. The only "wish" I have is that it was open castiron vs. the porcelin coating. Cleanup is still easy, I'm just old fashioned and like seasoning my own cookware. The jury is still out on the grease slots. Like any clean up, it'll take some getting used to. Would have given a '5' if it was open castiron. Still a "grate" accessory to camping! :-)

I love cast iron. It won't leave bits of non stick coating in your food. It distributes the heat very well, and cleans up with little effort. It is very heavy, but well worth the extra carrrying weight. - Coleman - Gas Grill - Camping - Grill'

Hearing Protection - radio headset, hearing protector


I bought these headphones to wear while woodworking and cutting the grass. I am happy to say that they do a GREAT job. They have switches on the back of the right headphone that are easy to reach while you are wearing them. The top switch is the noise cancelling/amplification switch and the bottom one is the radio on/volume. The noise cancelling/amplification is amazing. I switched it on and I heard the fountain across the street and birds chirping as if they were right in front of me. Then I picked up a hammer and slammed it down on the workbench and I heard the hammer hit, but it sounded as if I tapped the bench. That is the beauty of these headphones - you can hear everything, but not to a damaging level. You still get the feedback you need from your tools but it is at a level that is pleasant. You can even listen to the radio and still hear everything you need to provided you don't turn up the radio volume too loud - you shouldn't need to since you are blocking out the unwanted noise.



The following things keep the headphones from reaching 5 stars:



The radio tuner is not for the decision making challenged. There is no readout, analog or digital, so you have to listen to the heapdhones and wait for the DJ to say what station you are listening to. Not a big deal, I found a station I like and just leave it there. The station adjustment knob is the large and in the center of the outside of the right headphone - again easy to reach and not so sensitive that you keep skipping your station. The AM/FM toggle is right on the front of the right headphone and easy to reach. The other thing keeping these headphones from 5 stars is the fact a special cable is required to use an MP3 player or other audio device. Peltor is very careful to never show the back side of the left earphone - that is where the goofy connector is located that requires their special cable. There are a couple of websites that sell them - I have seen them for $20-$30, it is an FL6N cable. Maybe there is a good reason for this connector (2 way comm standard or something) but for $110, I want to be able to buy a $2.49 3.5 mm stereo cable and be good to go - or better yet INCLUDE IT with the headphones.



Overall - great headphones with excellent performance. Peltor M2RX7A Alert AM/FM Radio Headset

I found this set to be very impressive. The noise blocking is outstanding to say the least. Along with the built in radio sure makes yard work a pleasure while running landscaping equipment a couple hours per week.



What I found very impressive is the active surround sound. When turned off, you are completely isolated from all sounds around you. When you turn on the surround sound, you actually hear everything as if you were not wearing this unit and actually louder as it will amplify slightly, but you you have full volume control for that as well.



I find the radio to perform very well. I believe those that complained in other reviews around the web were probably in areas with a lot of buildings or structures which would tend to cause that. Out in the open, I never experience static once a station is tuned in.



Now If radio commercials drive you mad, then here's a simple fix. I purchased the audio cable that allows attachment of other audio devices such as a scanner or external mp3 player, etc and I also purchased a Create Labs Stone mp3 player. this is a very tiny mp3 player which holds 2 gig of data. I then took some velcro and attached it to the outside of these ear protectors over the battery cover.



Since the player is only 2 inches long and .5 inches wide and weighs just over 1/2 ounce, its not intrusive at all. The cable can then be bundled up and out of the way.



I highly recommend this headset. Even if you don't run power equipment much or work in a noisy environment that long, they are still a pleasure to wear just for the radio (and mp3 player attached)



Just a side note: This does not come with the audio cable (FL6N) I purchased mine from [...] for the best pricing I could find, $[...] at the time I write this.





UPDATE:

I ordered the FL6N audio cable in order to use my mp3 player. This worked fine but the plug on the headset didn't seem to provide a solid connection. With no way to avoid the static and interruption due to the poor connection, I requested a replacement and hope it was a simple defect on this particular item. I will update my findings when I receive the replacement.



Replacement Received:

Just got the replacement from Amazon. Outstanding customer support to say the least. Anyway, this copy has no issues with the external audio jack connection and all is wonderful!

The unit worked as advertised EXCEPT the AM radio is sensitive to direction. When I turn my head to a certain direction, while listening to the radio, the station fades. This is very annoying while working in my shop or mowing the lawn. This happens only with the AM radio not the FM radio.

I talked to an engineer at peltor and they are aware of this problem,but they do not seem to be planing to do anything about it.

*****July 5, 2008*****

These babies are fantastic. I use them while I'm working on projects and when I'm doing yard work. They are comfortable, not too hot, strong, and resistant to rain (so far). The sound quality is excellent, too.



Also, the surround microphones cut out when sound is greater than 85 dB (peaking), while the radio stays on.



Volume knob for surround microphones

Volume knob for radio

Tuning knob for radio stations

Toggle switch for AM/FM (this switch is inset, so as not to bump it easily)



*****December 17, 2008*****

I have a few more things to add.



Being that each speaker is isolated from the other, the stereo in these is amazing--a much-intensified listening experience.



Also, I will say that these are a little difficult to fit under my Skull Bucket full brim hard had. Luckily, though, I can get a comfortable, tight fit out of my hard had with these ear protectors on underneath of it. I advise using caution at heights, though, as there is a higher potential for the hard had to fall off with these on under it.



I've been using these every so often since the summer, and still have yet to change the batteries! - Hearing Protector - Ear Protection - Radio Headset - Headphones'

Ea Sports Active 2 - ea sports active 2, ea sports active


I bought the Wii nunchuk and remote holders to use with games like "Wii Walk It Out" and Wii Fit Plus. It is a great and inexpensive way to "store" the remotes while you are exercising or walking to the games and have them out of the way but readily accessible. I have found that they work great with most types of pants or shorts, including jeans. The clips are a little snug getting them on, but that just means they stay put fairly well. My only complaint, which is why 4 stars, not 5, is that the nunchuk holder is a little snug. This means that sometimes the pressure pushes the top toggle switch to the nunchuk while moving (causing the game to mess up), and also makes it a little difficult to get in and out while walking. They have "stretchy" sides to them and canvas fronts. I am hoping with time and use they stretch out a tad so this problem is not as noticeable. I notice this the most when playing "Wii Walk it Out" and I am trying to search the maps. The screen "flips" due to the pressure on the nunchuk toggle switch/joy stick button. I have to take the nunchuk out during those times I am searching the maps and then put it back in during my walk. I have been able to deal with this issue. When playing the Wii Walk it out game, you have to place the nunchuk in a pocket and it works like a pedometer, measuring your steps. This item solves the problem when you are wearing pants that don't have pockets, or of your pockets are too tight. So in spite of minor inconvenience (which again, I am hoping will loosen up over time), I would still recommend this item. Wii Remote & Nunchuck Holsters

When it has came down to the Nintendo Wii, many new gamers young and old are definitely feeling the need to play from any age group, and master any game. But, while there are a lot of gamers out there, there also are new ways you can safely secure your Wii-Mote, and this is no acception. These Wii-Mote & Nunchuck Holsters easily snap on to your pants, and you can easily keep them safe and secure whenever you are on the go, and you can also easily use these with simple control, when playing games like Wii Fit while you're jogging through the game, or if you want to bring your Wii-Mote and accessories to a friends' house without worrying about any damage. It is easy to hook on to your clothing, and is very inexpensive. All in all, if you're a constant Wii gamer, you'll definitely want to get these Wii-Mote holsters.

Maps - maps


I am Donna's husband and I got Microsoft Streets & Trips 2011 with the USB GPS receiver a few days ago. I didn't really notice any changes between the 2009 version and the 2011 version of Streets & Trips. Just newer maps. I give the software 5 stars.



The GPS receiver that comes with Streets & Trips is the "u-blox 5 GPS and GALILEO Receiver" by ublox. [...] I downloaded the "u-center GPS evaluation software" [...] and installed in on my desktop computer and my Acer netbook computer. I then plugged the USB GPS receiver into each computer and, using the u-center software, monitored the GPS receiver's performance. Here is what I found:



The GPS receiver would not lock up when plugged directly into the netbook no matter how long I left it. It would find one or two satellites but that was all. When I connected it to the netbook using the included USB extension cable, it would lock up in 5 - 10 minutes. After it got a lock, it's performance seemed about as good as the other GPS receivers that I have. When I plugged the GPS receiver into my desktop computer it took 5 - 10 minutes to lock up and again, it's performance seemed about as good as the other GPS receivers that I have. The GPS receiver does not have any type of battery or super-capacitor backup so every time it is unplugged it forgets all of the satellite almanac data and has to do a cold start each time it is plugged in.



I also have a GlobalSat BU-353 GlobalSat BU-353 Waterproof USB GPS Receiver. It is a much better GPS receiver. Because it has a super-capacitor backup, it retains the satellite almanac data and is able to do a warm start when it's plugged in. It is able to acquire a lock in less than a minute. It also works fine with the Streets & Trips software. I recommend you buy Streets & Trips WITHOUT the USB GPS receiver and get the GlobalSat BU-353 GPS receiver instead. Microsoft Streets & Trips with GPS Locator 2011

As a general mapping software, Streets & Trips doesn't do a bad job, though apparently Microsoft doesn't allow their programmers out of their cubicles to understand the real world. After the number of years this program has been out, and with all the new releases, this should be an incredibly good program by now. You can find locations a number of ways...by street address, intersection, and even GPS coordinates (don't forget to add the minus symbol for longitude if you're in the U.S.). Streets & Trips adds some great capabilities over your portable GPS devices. You can see a large screen version of your route and, where you have a stop planned, you can see the mapped locations of a variety of different businesses and points of interest based on your selections. They leave a lot of businesses out, unfortunately, but, still, it provides a fair amount of information. One of the unique features, and a saving grace in the face of other design buffoonery, is the ability to alter the automated route by clicking and dragging the route. Let's say that Streets & Trips sends you one way because it's the shortest route, but it takes you through an area you want to avoid. Simply click and drag the route as necessary to get it to use the route you want to go. Usually this works without a hitch, but occasionally you have to fight the programming.



I just upgraded...strike that...UPDATED from the 2008 version and was shocked that they did away with the selection tool that allowed you to draw a box around a general area and then zoom to that selection. That was a great tool for when you're looking for a location that you know to be in a general area, but you're not sure of the street name...or you need to see an area to look for routing options. Typical Microsoft...if it's working, let's take it out of the program.



Streets & Trips provides you with the travel distance of the route and, based on a fuel cost option setting, will tell you how much the trip will cost. Valuable information. Information basic to planning a trip is how long it will take to arrive at your destination. Thanks to Microsoft's programmers ignoring the user feedback on their design issues for years, the time figure they give is arbitrary. They'll tell you in the Help area that the travel time calculations are based on "average speeds" for different roads. Whose average that may be is anyone's guess because they don't tell you what theirs are. Speeds on different roads can vary significantly from state to state, and even from one area to the next. There is an option where you can vary the speed calculation for different road types via slider controls, but the control labels simply say `faster' and `slower'. You have to go into the Help area to find out that the slider alters the calculation speed in increments of 5%, but it still doesn't tell you 5% of what speed. Unfortunately, this results in you having to get your calculator out if you want any travel time figures that you can rely on.



If you use an external GPS receiver, you can keep yourself located on the map. If you're traveling unknown territory, that's a great feature. The Microsoft GPS receiver is mediocre at best. It doesn't do well unless it is exposed to unrestricted open sky. The USGlobalSat BU-353 is a good receiver choice, but its cord is very short. For my application (operating the laptop in a car in the center console area), the cord was so short that I had to use a USB extension cable to reach the USB port, but then there was TOO much cable. The Holux GR-213 USB receiver was the best of both worlds. It provided excellent reception inside my house and under trees, and had a fast start-up time while the cable length was perfect.

I purchased Street & Trips 2011 and Microsoft GPS receiver separately and installed 15.6" laptop and connect 3.5mm mini cable to Ford Escape speaker system to use next 6,000mile trip.

Installation is very easy and GPS receiver is very good and trip planning is very easy except some street number are in-correct.

Microsoft Navigation program need much improvement as bellow:

1) Speech engine is very poor, very difficult to understand voiced instruction, need another speech engine like AT&T natural voice, Real Speak or Acapela speech engine.

2)Instruction for off ramp on the freeway is too late to change lanes, need warning at least one mile before off ramp.

3)Need instruction which way to enter the freeway, like " Enter Interstate 5 north"

4)Need instruction of destination is which side of the street, Left or right side.

I purchased and installed AT&T Natural voice speech engine and much easier to understand voiced instruction.

Smartphone - bad deal, pixi


This is a great phone. Although I was very misinformed when I thought it was unlocked. My fault so I bypassed the activation at the beginning. If you're looking to do this, it's on the site. But it's a great phone. Wi-Fi works great!! Screen is beautiful, sound with earbuds is phenomenal. The only thing I don't like is the fact that there's a lot of stuff you can't do if you don't activate it. It's the perfect device though. Palm Pixi Plus Cell Phone for Verizon

Have used Windows mobile and Droid phones and this is the best. WebOS is much cleaner than Android. Syncs with Gmail and Gmail contacts at startup. No tricks at all.

At $65 for a new phone (now $55) , OEM shop probably has the best deal. Amazon backed. Was delivered in 4 days through free delivery. The best deal.

The Palm Pixi Plus is an excellent phone. I ordered this, chose one-day shipping, and in less than 24 hours, I had the product in my hands. The product was exactly as stated---new in box. I activated it with no problems, and it works wonderfully. I highly recommend this phone!

I just got the palm pixi, and I really like it. I have been using it for about 3 days and this is what I have found.



Pros- Beautiful screen, sound quality on speakers are excellent, easy to navigate, reception seems to be great so far, can connect to your computer to add pics and music through USB port and you don't have to use Itunes.



Cons - Can be a little slow when trying to do too many things at one time and battery life isn't great. Tiny keypad buttons, I am fairly petite, and I could see where it would be cumbersome to use if you had larger fingers.



All in all, this is a good little phone so far. This is also my first smart phone, but I think it is easy to use and navigate through.

The WebOS on this device is far better than Window Mobile and Andriod. Everything works smoothly. The only complaint is that the screen is too small, basically making the web browser unusable. Otherwise it is a great phone.

For an inexpensive "smart" phone, this works just fine. Has the advantage of coming with a "free" mobile hotspot, which comes in very handy on occasion. Verizon where I live is no longer selling these, so they are probably on the way out.

This seemed too good to be true! I ordered received in 4 days and the condition was perfect! The Pixi may not have as many apps as the Droid system, but it has a lot less glitches and is overall a better phone!

this is a great phone plus the price is amazing. other than having to download the webos once you get the phone everything else is great. if you're looking for a great phone to last you until your contract expires this is it and remember it requires a $30 data package which caught me off guard but its well worth it

i was thinking of ordering this phone, but does anyone know if this is one of those prepaid phones for verizon? i am on a normal contract with verizon and i my contract isnt up yet. i didnt want to purchase this and not be able to activate it on my plan. any answers or suggestions? - Thin - Bad Deal - Smartphone - Pixi'

I bought this one thinking it was the bigger one but all was all right. Grandmothers can make mistakes. I watch my grandbabies and they were so excited to open the box. We looked at it and then the rest of the day they played with this I spy car. It was everything one would expect. They had alot of fun that day and many days after.



Your children will love it.

I love Disney. And now I'm a huge fan of the Disney/Pixar partnership. I'm collecting Cars and a few characters from Cars 2. This is one as I love Michael Caine. I've also added Holley Shiftwell, Jeff Gorvette, Prof. Z, and Carla Veloso. I'm thinking of adding Grim & Acer.

My son doesnt like cars 2. unfortunately i got all the new cars because he loves the original and loves to play out scenes with his cars. I guess he doesnt want to play out the violent plot of cars 2.

the toy cars are cheaper than the first movies toy line. the metal is thinner and they are just generally flimsier. more like larger scale hot wheels. - Mattel - Disney Pixar Cars'
