It’s that time of year again!

As we head towards December and the shops are full of Christmas themes, we’re all getting regular reminders that we need to start thinking about Christmas gifts for friends and family.  So, as we’ve done before, we’ll have a look around for ideas for presents suitable for Irwin Allen fans.  We start here with a stocking filler idea for Land of the Giants.  FabGearUSA are selling the Spindrift Patch and Keyring set that first came out with the US DVD box set in 2007.  You can now purchase this item on its own and it is a perfect stocking filler.

Seattle Science Fiction Hall of Fame

We hear that the Seattle Science Fiction Hall of Fame is currently undergoing renovation and that none of the Irwin Allen or sci-fi TV/movie exhibits are on show at the moment apart from temporary Battlestar Galactica and Avatar exhibitions.

So don’t make the trip up to Seattle to see the Irwin Allen items at the present time.  Their web site says the renovation work continues until the summer of 2012, and we do not know what will be on show after that. If we hear any further news we will post details on our sites.
