Cool new toys!
SciFi Weekly has a review of a new Doctor Who toy-a TARDIS Phone Flasher! Put in some batteries and set the TARDIS on your desktop-when someone's cell phone rings within 1.5 meters of it, the blue light will start to flash and you'll here the famous TARDIS dematerialization sound. (you can also have it set to silencer, so only the light will flash) Can you image having that at your desk at work? I'd drive my coworkers nuts!!! LOL.

See the full review here.

Blogger seems to be having issues, so I'm going to have to cut this post short before I loose anything. I'm sorry!!!

Happy Doctor Who watching everyone!
