Odds & Ends

Here is a short feature (eight minutes) JANGBRiCKS uploaded recently briefly going over the history of all interlocking types of bricks including ones many probably never even heard of.

Just randomly watched the Jimmy Fallon Late Night, which happened to be the final episode, and I noticed that Questlove (?uestlove) was rocking a red LEGO Valentine's Day Heart. For those who don't know of him, he's the drummer for the Roots, who are also the house band for Late Night.

This has to be the quirkiest crossover in the history of ever that I feel surprised didn't happen sooner. April's issue of MAD Magazine will be very Lego related featuring the classic Alfred E. Neuman as a minfigure. Via The Brick Fan

I just received a text message from my local GameStop letting me know that my copy of BF4 is ready to be picked up. Has anyone in the US already played this? Thoughts?

Hi All, I finally released Fantasy MVP (for iOS). It's designed for users who have multiple Yahoo! and ESPN basketball leagues. Get all your scores in one easy to read list, no more switching between apps, and no ads. I just wanted one scoreboard for all my leagues, so a friend and I built this. Try it out!

Hey all my fellow Brickpickers. I just posted a job on Upwork.com looking for a freelancer to create some pins from existing blog content on 2 of our websites... And then came over here to browse the feed, and then I thought I would ask if anyone here is/knows an expert in that field. We have 100+ existing articles across two sites that we need turned into pins, and then 8-12 new articles a month as well. looking to test someone out on 10-20 pins, and then do a long term thing if it works out. Just thought I would put it out there.

Here's one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Amperduke A pretty good comic on a "Lego" collector and his creations. No words, just drawings. A bit hard to find since it's not from a big publisher. I liked it though. Any others? I'm wracking my brain here....

Saw this last week, perfect timing for this parody what with the upcoming release of both films in the next year and a half. This guy did an awesome, hilarious job. Didn`t see a thread for it, so check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLyNMSkTiGg

Saw this over at New Elementary: http://www.newelementary.com/2015/09/pull-together-with-polybags.html Here's some of the text from the Fairy Bricks charity:

The Brick Fan is reporting that the recording of the Marvel Super Heroes Panel at the 2013 Comic Con is finally available! http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid16681868001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAAAAr7e30~,vihvuRVBQpNFbdXq-mJPiy5bq6kzgKag&bctid=2714796405001 (Apparently you can see the back of Tormentalous' (Allen Tran) head and phone in the video. Cool...?)

I'm trying to get some stamps for first class mail to ship out of France and the UK with self addressed stamped envelopes. If you are interested in making arrangements I would happily purchase some and pay for the time and effort.

Have you considered making your own brick films or curious about the process then perhaps check out this collaborative book from David Pagano (Paganomation) and David Pickett (Brick 101) available at No Starch Press and Amazon.

I took a 1/2 off work today and taking my son. Just look for a 4 yr old dressed as Superboy - ha. We should be easy to spot especially with his red cape.

i need the cash to fund the recent Dec 2 Target and Amazon Lego purchases. there will be a small mark-up to cover sales tax, paypal fees, waiting in-line for it, etc... the console is sealed and was never removed from the black box. a buyer from the Philadelphia area would be ideal but i would mail it (if needed). sitemail me if interested. mods - let me know if this post is a problem.

was just wondering if anyone knew what kind of exclusives they have, i'm making a trip down in 2 weeks, or a current list to stock on their pab wall.

Don't know if somebody already posted it, but I found a brilliant Lego photographer! Have a look at his work: http://www.mikestimpson.com/photography/index.html http://www.dpreview.com/news/2013/11/10/classic-photographs-recreated-in-lego/1
