Really Non LEGO Stuff

A cool podcast to listen to ... reminds me a lot of the LEGO trading network here. If you like other things that people trade and invest in that might seem odd ... then this is a great listen ... http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2016/01/josh_luber_on_s.html Just out today. Description from EconTalk here: How many pairs of sneakers do you own? Josh Luber of Campless and StockX talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the world of sneakerheads--people passionate for collecting and trading sneakers. Each week people line up to buy classic sneaker models Nike re-releases. Luber has collected millions of transactions from Ebay on these sneakers an…

It is finally happening, kickoff in just short few hours ! Who else is excited ?

This looks good. Not a big fan of the first one, but this one looks like it got potential.

I'm gauging intrest for a fantasy baseball league this year. I plan on creating a league on yahoo. I havnt played in a few years but miss it . I've been too busy with work past few years. If there are enough people here thst want in we can maybe do a way where the prizes are lego sets as opposed to cash. I don t '' play for fun'' I have video games for fun. . Post below if you have ideas or any intrest at all.

Ok guys, Super Bowl is over and pitchers and catchers I believe are less than 2 weeks away. Time to start thinking about fantasy baseball again. Since I don't believe HXCkid is around any more I was going to take the reigns on the league. I should have access to emails to you guys as ass't. last year. Anybody that wasn't a part of the league in years past but wants in get in this thread and mark your spot. I wanted to throw this out there as well. I am more of a fan of ESPN Fantasy than Yahoo. It's easier to guide your way through and I feel that pickups/drops/trades are much easier as well. I've been using that platform for years in other leagues, and feel it's f…

Last stab at a Fantasy Baseball 2019 league. I am interested in either joining or creating a league (seems like there was at one point a BP league). Please PM or reply in the thread if you are interested or have a spot open etc. Thanks to everyone

Anyone interested in joining a Brick Picker Fantasy basketball 2019 at Yahoo? We are looking to create a Head-to-Head - Points with $40 entry. 10 or 12 team MAX.

If anyone would like to join our BP fantasy football league, we have 3 open spots at this time. Please contact me for more info.

Anyone want to join the Fantasy Football 2018. The format for last year was Entry was $60.00 and we had 14 managers. Last year's draft was on Sept 2nd. So we are not late this year. 1ST: $350 2ND: $215 3RD: $155 4TH: $120

Negative news is unfortunately the overwhelming majority but occasionally there are some feel good stories worth sharing.

update by jaisonline and bold-arrow: please keep the thread clean, otherwise it will be locked & warnings issued. Not sure if this has been posted or not... http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/fifty-shades-of-grey-movie-gets-the-lego-treatment-complete-with-whips-and-blindfolds-10026034.html Good or bad? OMG, I'm blushing watching the LEGO man having that creepy smile.

They`re gone ladies and gentlemen! Going the way of Target, apparently Red brand colours are not in anymore. http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/future-shop-stores-closed-across-canada-some-to-rebrand-as-best-buy-1.3013534 All kidding aside, this is pretty sad to say the least. They used to be Canada`s largest electronics brand, crazy amounts of money. They were absolutely huge for a strictly Canadian company, then BestBuy bought them way back and they still did really. Well, not anymore. It`s a shame, I`m glad BestBuy is sticking around for the foreseeable future, but to see yet another large retailer heading out is discomforting on many levels. 1,500 jobs cut t…

This female lion was reunited with her caretaker after a couple of years. The footage speaks for itself. Goodnight.

After the unfortunate recent events in Texas and Louisiana with Hurricane Harvey, I just want to let Brickpickers who live in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina know that we are thinking about them. I know our thoughts mean very little in the grand scheme of things, but get the Hell out of danger. You can always replace a LEGO set or TV...You cannot replace yourself. I am praying for you. Be safe and let that witch go out to sea... Ed and Jeff.

For you current investors out there, I thought this might be an interesting discussion. The price of Gold has hit two year record bottoms due to inflation fears (curse the Federal Reserve). What are your thoughts? Would you buy or would you wait? Or would you just invest in Legos? http://www.thestreet.com/story/11956078/1/gold-plummets-as-inflation-fears-ebb.html

Just wondering if there are any big Android users out there that have used this new Nexus 7 tablet and if it's any good. Two reasons. It looks like it has some decent features for a good price, especially the 8GB version. The other is I wonder if it is something people are going to buy and use as I continue to build the mobile/tablet app for BrickPicker.

Heared from a jurist yesterday that the Belgian government is controlling more and more the second hand sites for people that have little shops on them. While in the Netherlands, there is a ceiling of 1-2k

Because of the countless people he has helped on BP (including myself) I thought it would be good to wish Ed a very happy Birthday. via BP app.

Happy Birthday to my little brother Jeff....?
