MUGO ($59.99) is probably the first ever toy vinyl designed to be functional as an MP3 Player (that can store up to 500 songs) and a USB drive (with a 2gb of storage space) – pretty cool little gadget I might say – another plus to these MUGO’s are that they are Limited Edition artist designed.

If you’re like me and consider yourself a kid of the 80’s, there are some things that are very memorable from that era. Transformers and GI Joe to Knight Rider and the A-Team. the 80’s gave us so many amazing toys, television and movies that looking back it’s hard to think we’ve yet to capture that essence again. Some of the movies we all have burned in our minds and hearts of that time include The Goonies, The Karate Kid, Top Gun, Empire Strikes Back, etc., etc. One of the pinnacle movies of the early 80’s blew away us all away with stunning visuals and cool motorcycles. While the Star Wars and Star Trek franchise were taking us to galaxies and worlds far, far away, one movie took us to a whole new world right at our own desk. That movie of course was TRON. Boasting some of the most advanced special effects of the time, TRON gave us a far away digital world that was right there at our fingertips. Coming at a time when “super computers” filled up rooms the size of most of our houses, TRON pioneered in a sense the digital revolution. Almost 30 years later, Disney is set to once again take us to that digital world and blow our minds away. Definitely one of the most anticipated movies of this year, I give you now the newest trailer for the much awaited TRON sequel, TRON Legacy. Opening everywhere in IMAX and Disney 3D December 17, 2010.
