Where can I buy boys roller skates with Ben 10 or something on them?

Sep 06, 2008 by Angela | Posted in Other - Outdoor Recreation

The stores have girls roller skates with barbie or bratz on them but I cant find any little boys one with characters on them. My son's 6th birthday is coming up and he wants skates, but I cant find any cool looking ones, they are all just plain black or blue. Any ideas?
Yep, I checked and you are right on the skateboard except he already has one. i live in Bama and our Targets, Wal-marts, etc. dont even carry skates anymore.

Have you tried Toy R Us? I know they have Ben 10 skateboards, and Bratz roller skates, I'd stop by there, they'll usually have alot of the cartoon network items. Hope that helps!

“April 6, James Cameron’s Titanic in cinemas.” “S Club 7 tours the UK.” “’Five’ star Sean Conlon live on stage on BBC.”  Is this …? This is 2012, dearies, not 1997!

 What might read like a newspaper from back in the 1990s is actually part of the latest news of 2012. So with the products of casting shows and TV series and James Cameron’s Titanic of the 1990s being in the spotlight again, it should be worth having a look back.

The 1990s, that is foremost a decade of drastic contrasts: The Cold War finally comes to an end with  Germany’s reunion in 1990 and the end of the  USSR the following year. Namibia as the last former colony to finally become independent and Nelson Mandela’s freedom mark the decade’s move towards liberty and democracy. At the same time, the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 and pro-Western Saudi-Arabia not allowing their ordinary citizens access to the internet cause quite the opposite, and again split the world into East and West.

But when leaving the socio-political sphere behind, what does remain of the 1990s? Approaching the decade way less sophisticated and eventually entering the realm of popular culture, an image of shiny happy people finds its way into our mind. What started off as a decade of a politicial and sociological paradigm shift, from a cultural point of view leaves quite a different impression. The 1990s, that is the birth of the new “information highway”. It is the decade of girlies and plastic pop, of casting shows and sitcoms and, to cut a long story short, a decade of happy superficiality and materialism.

Gameboys and Nintendo 64 come into existence and find their way into people’s living-rooms, along with The Lion King,Mrs. Doubtfire and Sponge Bob Square Pants. Meanwhile, Tamagotchis find their way into children’s pocket and are carefully being looked after if not having to compete with  their all-but-Gremlin friend called Furby. Toys come to life while Super Mario loses one of his multiple ones. If not in Beverly Hills 90210, Dawson’s Creek or with their Friends to enjoy Rachel’s pseudo-epic on-and-off relationship with Ross, people spend their time Clueless. Watching the boobs’ of Pamela Anderson and their never-ending try to make it to someone’s rescue on time should turn out to become a very materialistic expression of a superficial (manly) desire.
