it's fallout friday! ~

yeah i just made that up, but i wanted to post all about fallout games today ~

i've spent the summer fully immersed in fallout 4, the latest in the fallout videogame series ~

i first tried fallout 3 on xbox 360 ~ fallout 3

got hooked & went on to fallout: new vegas ~ fallout: new vegas

then fallout 4 on ps4 ~ fallout 4

in a few days the latest dlc nuka world is coming out :D !!! ~ nuka world trailer

the guides & s.p.e.c.i.a.l. perks ~

where else can i live in an old drive-in, convert it into a kitty sanctuary & set up my own toy shop, but in the fallout wasteland ~

here i am, bren, or the professor as some have called me ~

recently i've been working on opening a little toy & soda shop in the wastes ~

for all your post-apoc toy needs ~

have a nuka cola & peruse the selection ~

we carry vault tec lunchboxes & plastic pumpkins, it's already time to start thinking of halloween! ~

popular favorites like jangles the moon monkey ~

giddyup buttercup & blast radius board games ~

be sure to check the comic book rack for grognak the barbarian, astoundingly awesome tales & the unstoppables ~

& it's time to start thinking about xmas toys too ~

our treat center carries nuka cola, nuka cherry, nuka quantum & vim ~

or if you're hungry we have candy, fancy lad snack cakes, sugar bombs, blamo mac'n'cheese, instamash, salisbury steak, dandy boy apples & more ~

check the display cases for robot models, cool science items or the latest holotape games to play on your pip-boy like grognak, atomic command & red menace ~

lost & found toys at university point in the old pharmacy building ~

all who wander are not lost

a very special post today in honor of our favorite author jrr tolkien, as old friends of mr dad's are visiting oxford & graciously placed my painted tolkienstone on his grave in remembrance of his life's works that we have all loved so much.. yeah, for all of us nerds <3 ~

so i have an entire category devoted to tolkien here at the lost & found toy blog ~

as i discovered his books as a child long ago & read them all ~

& of course never missed the animated films that came on every year ~

& naturally passed it on to our son who became a huge fan too ~

there's not a film we've not collected & seen in full commentary form ~

not a game we haven't played to the end ~

all those collector cards ~

we'll never forget all the times going to the theater for the movies over & over ~

i once posted a month of tolkien time posts here at the lost & found ~

featuring all the books, games & collectibles we've collected over a lifetime ~

cool figures ~

& as a taphophile who loves to photo old cemeteries & epitaphs i added the photo to the very end of my extensive cemeteria album too ~

kinda makes me want to venture back into middle earth again ;) ~

& visit with old friends ~

you can check out all the tolkien videogames as well up at our game gallery playlist on youtube here ~

cool old vinyl for your vintage inner kid ~

& be sure to click on tolkien in the category list in the sidebar for much more ~

& thanks so much to robert & jeb :) ~

flashback friday favorite ~ count von count

wrapping up halfoween week with this flashback friday post of my favorite ocd vampire, updated at the end! the count is a special favorite sesame street character so i wanted to highlight him today, starting with this vintage fisher price little people version ~

this counting dvd has some great vintage sesame street videos including toxic's favorite '2 little dolls' ~

here's count von count in an early appearanc e on sesame street & also on a placemat ~

other classic counting videos on sesame street include' the bake r' ones & here's a cool vintage book ~

count all the way to sesame street ~

a little golden book from 1985 ~

with the countmobile ~

the count stars in his own vintage nes counting game too ~

a newer book, (since halloween is approaching) ~

the count's counting party ~

5 little black cats! ahh! ahh! ahh!!~

(i also love the number 6, it's the ocd vampire in me..)

yikes! there are 8 spiders in the library ~

another vintage toxic oldschool favorite animated sketch was 'wanda the witch' but it's about the letter w rather than numbers, but i'm feeling halloweenish already..
