Odds & Ends

Having a tough time trying to find 8 of these. Maybe some of you more experienced folks might be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks

I just found this picture of a very famous actor (the lady also has been famous!) who starred in various movies of my childhood ^.^ Personally I would never have recognized him on this picture! So for the fun of it: Do you know who THIS is? :-)

I couldn't find the target data leak thread...this seems related. http://money.cnn.com/2014/07/25/technology/security/target-experian/

I started a website/blog called "The Lego Investor". If anyone is interested, please check it out. Just started Thursday, so I only have a few articles up. http://thelegoinvestor.wordpress.com

Hi everyone! I have not posted much here before but have been lurking in the forums almost daily since I came across this site last December. I have recently published an ebook with KDP Amazon entitled: Brickvesting: How to Make Money Selling Lego

Thought this was interesting. Surely someone has already posted this on the forum somewhere. I couldn't find it though.

Discovery Channel has gotten good at promoting Shark Week. I laughed so hard at this commercial!

picked up a bulk lot and found some unusual color pieces. the seller had a lot of Harry potter and Star Wars but I can't tell if hear are from those themes. sets included in the lot are 8-10 years old (ie the first Harry potter sets) any help is appreciated sorry-seems like my photos images were too big...ill have to edit and repost.

(About five hours to go as of this posting.)

Even though the article is 5 years old and the regulars here probably are familiar with this article, I thought the article was a entertaining read. I figured the others, especially those like myself who just returned to Legos after dark ages, might learn a thing or two like I did. http://gizmodo.com/5019797/everything-you-always-wanted-to-know-about-lego

Meant to post this earlier. From Saturday's NY Times: Lego Builds an Empire, Brick by Brick The Lego Group

So I was out making my "rounds" today, and I had a store associate ask me with a straight face if I was a "Hoarder" (as in the TV show). I couldn't help but laugh. Anyone else been asked this? Is it a bad thing that I answered "YES!" ?

they are already working on a script for the second movie kind of putting cart before the horse if you ask me

I got a call Tuesday morning about a State Trooper in Chicopee,Ma asking me if a sold some Lego sets to a guy in that city, I said I guess, then he told me he has 2 sets with my name, and phone number. It was a SSDS $849 & Death Star $600 after checking my Fedex slips the 2 sets were bought in August 2016. So After Checking my paypal it did show they were bought by Stolen Credit cards, and paypal froze the $1400 but after a week or so I got my money back, as it was Confirmed address and Seller Protection. Now the trooper said the guy that owns the house said he saw a ad in cragslist saying he will pay $20 for each package that got delivered to his house. Then the guy …

What weird retail stores/websites do you find/buy legos? Obviously everyone know the typical places to look for in the U.S. I'm mostly wondering if there are any local places that I haven't thought to look for deal.

Has anyone ever watched any of these? They appear to be made by a French married couple, and the choice of music and humor is always enjoyable. They have such a passion for building...smelling each bag after they open them lol.
