Is Optimus Prime a fire engine?Seriously - I hear about Optimus Prime, but I don't know what it is.

It's not wearing a bra, either.

*puts geek hat on* Optimus Prime is a Transformer that when not in 'mech' mode is in the mode of a big rig.. like a Peterbilt or a Kenworth. In the original cartoon back in the 80's he also had a tractor that was like their command post for the other Autobots. In the recent movie however he was just the tractor sans trailer. He serves as leader to the Autobots who are fighting against the bad guys known as the Decepticons and I think I've gone beyond the point of geek now. LOL Yes, I used to watch it as a kid...

Thanks Lisa! I've tried (so far, successfully) to keep DS away from the Transformer stuff.....about as commercial as we get in our toy selection is Thomas The Train, and some Bob The Builder stuff.

That would explain why I didn't know about Optimus....

Good luck with that. I tried my best with my son but lost the battle years ago with YuGiOh so I decided to go in it with him. We watched the show, he learned the card game and amassed hundreds of cards (probably thousands) however, in the process, he's learned sportsmanship and has no problem going to a public tournament and playing against kids younger AND older than him (the kids that show up range from ages about 8 into their early 20's) AND he's learned how to build strategy and he understands the value to the point where he's made money selling cards (and then buying more ) and making really good trades. So not all things commercial need to lead to bad things... it's how we steer it as parents.

We are just getting into the whole Pokemon and YuGiOh thing. We bought our son a set of each for Christmas. Now my DH is trying to show him all the things you just said your son does. He goes through phases with the commercial stuff but I hope the card thing will be something he can not only learn to have fun with but also appreciate when he gets older and be able to pass it on like my brother did with comics and baseball cards.
