]]>2170 AD. AI and synthetic ecosystems have solved the problems of overpopulation and hunger. Humanity has now turned its entire focus to exploring the cosmos. Soon manned space flights discover an Earth-like planet capable of sustaining life, which they name Gaea 2. The planet is home to a variety of alien wildlife —including highly-intelligent ‘dragons. As humanity studies and colonizes the planet, the dragons fight back, pushing these peaceful visitors to the brink of extinction.
But all is not well on Earth either. One day, all communication with Gaea 2 stops. There are no more supply shipments and contact with their home planet is completely lost. Soon, the people of Earth are presumed dead except for Gaea 2’s scientific and military residents. But the humans won’t go down so easily. Using the research technology they brought with them, they create biological weapons of their own: genetically engineered embryos that “birth” Earth’s mightiest prehistoric creatures. Programmed to obey their masters and outfitted in protective armor, these terrifying beasts help the humans push back against the dragon attacks while they terraform Gaea 2. Thus saving the human species, but destroying the world’s natural habitats.
With the threat of human extinction seemingly resolved, the colonizers split into factions. Each clan champions its own philosophy about ensuring the long-term survival of humanity. Bitter conflicts erupt, leading to power struggles, uneasy alliances, and devastating familial breakups.
Who will win the war for Gaea 2? Or will humanity eradicate itself?












Creator David Silva, who has worked on toy lines such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Godzilla, Spiderman, G.I. Joe, Terminator 2, Aliens, Predator, Spawn, and Pacific Rim, said:
“I’ve been so inspired by sci-fi and adventure stories since I was a kid. I also loved natural history growing up, but the entertainment properties that catered to this passion never fully achieved the artistic potential of their premises, often compromising the wonder and beauty that true natural history has to offer in favor of more familiar trends and tropes. To finally put my own spin on a concept that brings together people, dinosaurs, and dragons is a dream come true….I’ve had the foundation of Cyberzoic kicking around in my head for three decades. After the success of the ‘Beasts of the Mesozoic’ brand, it was time to develop a story on the opposite end of that timeline, bringing the dinosaurs into the science fiction genre and making Cyberzoic a reality. My goal is not only to present ideas and concepts that people have never seen together before, but also explore our connection with other forms of life, both familiar and alien.”

Product DescriptionOnce the icon of an era, the Ecto-1 has become a legend with over 30 years of time and memories. Although old and beat-up, this massive vehicle is coming back with the familiar siren sound. As deep wrinkles have lain on the faces of the heroes who hunted down ghosts with fantastic and secret devices, the body of Ecto-1, once pure white, is stained with dirt, full of bumps and scratches now.
The body, which powerfully runs forward, is rich in various secret devices. The gunner seat pops out when the side door opens is exactly reproduced as seen in the movie. Used to catch ghosts, the R.T.V. takes off from the bottom of the vehicle body.
Ecto-1 is over 40 inches long and of unbelievable quality. In memory of the late Harold Allen Ramis, the development team of Blitzway presents you with a special memory along with the movie moving you.

]]>In Lexihunt, the goal is to make a word worth a specific number of points, yes there is more than one answer for each game. The trick is, you don’t know how much each letter is worth. In each game, you get a few guesses to try and figure out a word that will win, with each guess giving you a clue.
The game was/is designed by the tabletop game designer Chris Backe, and the programming is being done by his wife, who is learning to code. Together they are making a wonderful new word game we are sure will be a hit!

As an Illumineer, you’ll wield six magical inks to summon glimmers of Disney characters. Glimmers can appear as familiar friends or in fantastically reimagined forms. Recruit glimmers to your team as you travel through the realm of Lorcana.
The Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn trading card game will be available at Hobby Stores and Disney Parks on November 17th and on Mass retailers and shopDisney on December 1.

To play the Disney Lorcana TCG, each player will need a deck of sixty cards. Ready-to-play starter decks contain a preconstructed deck with a specific card list. If you’re new to trading card games, or if you want to experience the game with a deck designed and tested by Team Lorcana, this is a good place to start.
Each starter deck includes:

Unlike starter decks, booster packs contain twelve random cards from Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn. Use booster packs to build and customize your deck with abilities and characters beyond those found in starter decks.
Each booster contains twelve randomized cards:

For a century, animators at Walt Disney Animation Studios have used ink to create magical characters and stories. Their work inspired the creation of Disney Lorcana and is celebrated in this Disney 100 Collector’s Set, which includes 6 stunning foil alternate art cards from Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter TCG, illustrated by Disney animators. These alternate art cards are available only as part of this limited Collector’s Set, which also includes 4 booster packs from Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn.
The gift set will include:

The ultimate treasure for both collectors and players, the Illumineer’s Trove includes a full-art storage box, two deck boxes, eight booster packs, a player’s guide, and more.
The player’s guide offers a look into the realm of Lorcana as well as a complete visual guide to all cards in Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter. Also included are deckbuilding tips and game strategies.
The Illumineer’s Trove includes:
Protect your collection from wear and tear with card sleeves, deck boxes, and playmats
Card Sleeves
Each pack contains 65 matte-finish card sleeves featuring a Disney Lorcana TCG glimmer. The characters featured will be Sisu and Mulan.
Deck Boxes
Each deck box can hold up to 80 sleeved cards. These Disney Lorcana TCG deck boxes will feature the same Sisu and Mulan art as the card sleeves.
Playmats
Each playmat features striking artwork of Disney characters. A fabric top prevents damage during gameplay and can also be used as a desk mat or mouse pad, while the anti-slip bottom keeps the mat in place during use. These Disney Lorcana TCG playmats will feature Beast and Winnie the Pooh.
Illumineers, we’re excited to share the next set release for Disney Lorcana TCG, Rise of the Floodborn!

This set dips into the inky origins of floodborn glimmers. The six magical inks… Amber, Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and Steel, were released in a mixed-up chaotic form, resulting in a mysterious flood which damaged the Great Illuminary. When storyborn or dreamborn glimmers encounter this mixed ink, they surge with a power that changes them, transforming them into floodborn glimmers. As the magical ink poured out of the illuminary, treasured lore went with it, including King Triton’s powerful trident.

Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn features more than 200 cards with brand-new artwork. Fan favorites like Winnie the Pooh and Tiana appear for the first time, while six additional Disney stories join the game’s lineup:

The Resist keyword indicates how much additional damage characters may be able to withstand. For example, Resist + 2 on a character would mean any damage dealt to them is reduced by 2.



Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn Accessories

This set is perfect for collectors, containing six cards from Disney Lorcana: The First Chapter and Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn featuring never-before-seen alternate artwork drawn by Disney animators from Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Each card features an exclusive Disney100 frame design, a satin holographic foil finish, and a copy of the animator’s signature prominently displayed. Additionally, each set contains four Booster Packs of Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn.
Disney Lorcana: Rise of the Floodborn will first release at local game stores on November 17th, while the wide release, including the Disney Lorcana: Disney100 Edition, will follow on December 1st.
We hope you’re excited for even more reveals in the coming weeks. While we’ve shared a handful of glimmers transformed by the flood, you’ll have to check back often to see them all!

]]>












This Sugar Bombs skinned Pip-Boy 2000 Mk VI is a replica model of the pre-war Personal Information Processor (PIP) manufactured by RobCo Industries as an updated version of the Pip-Boy 2000. Designed to be worn on the forearm, this Pip-Boy was the last word in convenience, enabling vault dwellers to keep track of their personal stats and inventory on the go. The Mk VI model was only made available to residents and staff of Vault 76.Until recently, this replica had only been available as a kit, but recent developments in manufacturing capability have enabled RobCo Industries and Sugar Bombs’ Customer Outreach and Flavour Research Team to collaborate on the production of this assembled version. The strikingly sweet white and blue livery, decorated with the classic red oval bomb marking and blue accent piping round the display housing, differentiate this Pip-Boy from the traditional version more commonly seen covering the cereal bowl-holding wrist of the average breakfasting vault-dweller.The enjoyment of a replica piece this accurate is increased by its illuminated display panel and vacuum tubes, which, fitted as standard, feature a Malfunction Function with an authentic Tap-to-Fix action. When illuminated for a period of time, the display and vacuum tubes will start to flicker, simulating the erratic function of this well-used piece of field kit. In the time-honored tradition of fixing such transient electronic faults, a sharp tap to the top of the display housing unit is all that is normally required to correct this minor malfunction and return the display to its flicker-free function.This collectible Sugar Bombs skinned Pip-Boy replica is a strictly limited edition. Each one is marked with its own unique number and comes with a specially designed certificate of authenticity endorsed by The Wand Company.

Gamescom attendees got a peak at a video teaser this year, and has been described as:
The footage includes people traversing a hostile wasteland desert, as well as a woman emerging from one of the game’s trademark Vaults. The video also shows glimpses of characters wearing the iconic power armor, a ghoul character wearing a duster, and a quick look at a Vertibird. Finally, there is a short clip of a nuclear explosion, with a nearby city resembling Los Angeles directly in its path.
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/first-fallout-amazon-prime-series-footage-appears-at-gamescom-2023/1100-6517128/
In the short trailer there were glimpses of the Brotherhood of Steel ominously marching across a dusty desert reminiscent of more urban version of Dune’s Arrakis setting, their iconic Vertibird vehicles, a vault opening as a woman shielded her eyes from the sun, multiple nuclear explosions taking place in what looks like a present-day setting, and a shot of who we presume is Walter Goggins’ ghoul character who bore more than a passing resemblance for Fallout 4’s John Hancock.
