So I hope everyone had a fine and dandy Halloween night. Though the day was jam packed in our house we had a lot of fun. We decided this year that just for kicks we’d dress up or at least paint our faces and stuff for the...

It’s been a crazy day here in the house of Branded. There were blog entries to write, scary movies to watch, last minute trips to find discount swag, trick or treating preparations, and much, much face painting.Right now my head...

So the first DVD contest at Branded in the 80’s has come to a close. To recap, I love discounted DVD’s, especially flicks from the 80’s, so I figured I’d pick up a few and then have periodic contests for...

Hello again. So I didn’t find this next item until yesterday which is kind of cool. I’m glad there were new discoveries up until the day before. I’ve already posted about the new line of Matchbox monsters cars and figures and...

Happy Halloween folks! I’ve been on vacation for the last two weeks, so I’ve been a slug in terms of posting and such. I figured I’d slab up an onslaught of stuff today, the big day. I’ll be honest; I’m kind of psyched because...

Okay, so I get really bored when I take lunch during work because I have an hour to kill with nothing to do. So I tend to drive out to the local mega-marts and just look around. Once a week I hit Wal-Mart just so I can pass the...

So as I mentioned in the last post, my favorite stuff for the Halloween blogging this year would probably be the various bits of Halloween on the cheap I’ve found in dollar stores and such. I was really surprised by how...

I’m going to switch back into Halloween gear this morning I think. I’ve sort of been running out of ideas of what to post about probably because I didn’t go into this with any sort of game plan. No focus I tell you. In fact it’s...

I thought I’d take a minute during this season to pimp some of the blogs I enjoy reading that are on a temporary Halloween blitz. In no particular order… Todd Franklin at Neato Coolville has a really great blog that visits all...

Last night I did some quick research on Hot Wheels and Matchbox die-cast cars and I was surprised to find out that Mattel Inc. owns both brands. Has this always been the case? I mean there is a very obvious difference in quality...

I have most assuredly got the bug for buying all sorts of craziness during this Halloween season. Since my vision is in serious monster hunting mode, that’s typically all I see and it’s always a happy site when I do....
