First time trying to use the heat this year (electronic-ignition furnace), and it just isn't firing up. It goes through the 3 attempts and then switches off. The igniter lights up, but no flame whatsoever (and yes, the gas is switched on).

Well, I picked up a CL lot today from RI. Digging through I found this. The canopy to a 2008 Hasbro Legacy Falcon. Worth at least $40 shipped on Ebay. I'll take it. I also found an antenna for a 2011 Talking / Sound f/x Boba Fett Helmet. Now I have a complete working helmet to sell near Halloween.

Have you checked out some of the buying benefits of your credit card? Chances are you have. However, you may have missed some features that can prove to be incredibly useful to a Birckpicker. A growing number of cards have a price-lock feature. It will allow you to essentially get reimbursed the difference if the price comes down on something you bought up to 90 days from purchase (or your cards time limit). I wish I had known about this sooner as I would have taken advantage of it when the SC from Amazon dropped below what I paid for it. Another helpful feature is the extended return period. This allows you to get reimbursed for an item even after the initial return pe…

James Bond Villain Richard Kiel Dies at 74 Richard Kiel, the 7-foot-2 actor who most famously played the villainous Jaws in two James Bond films starring Roger Moore, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, and also appeared in Adam Sandler comedy Happy Gilmore, died Wednesday afternoon in a hospital in Fresno, Calif., three days shy of his 75th birthday. TMZ first reported the news. The actor had broken his leg earlier in the week, but it is not clear if that event is tied to his death. Kiel had lent his voice to a James Bond videogame in 2003 but more recently had voiced Vlad for the animated film Tangled in 2010. Before his appearances in the Bond film in the mid to l…

Here are the two I'm wearing (tonight and tomorrow). Which one to wear tonight? Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. Ha Post your sweater pics

Hello everyone, Does anybody have or know of a good NES or SNES emulator for the Macintosh platform? It seems like there are a million of them out there for Windows. Any information would be great and much appreciated. This actually is slightly LEGO related. I want to get some good screenshots so I can build game scenes. Thanks! -Aaron-

Any Clashers on here? I started the game this past Sept. Can be addictive trying to build up defenses/base...just when you think the next upgrade will be awesome, you always want the next level. I'm no where near maxed out (or in Champions league). Maybe there will be Lego Ideas set.

I'd offer to buy George Lucas's company from him. Nah just kidding, I don't know if I could deal with him calling me a white slaver. Just curious what some of the people's big dreams on this site were.

Who knows which NFL on CBS commentator is the one with that "funny" accent - he was a commentator on the Bills vs Colts snow game yesterday. thx!

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.

Besides having tons of Lego, I have a Monster Prop, Mask, etc Collection. Now these are big buck stuff, take the Heath Ledger Joker and Captain Spaulding, both only 5 made both resin, $2500 Each, Ed https://www.facebook.com/ed.mazerski/photos_all

Kid is in 9th grade and interested in computer programming/science. He is currently taking a web programming course and is participating on a school team in the 2014 picoCTF. Future courses offered at the school are additional web programming, Java, Advanced Java and AP Computer Science. His home machine is currently an older Quad core, 3 Gb Ram desktop running Windows XP. It doesn't seem to be keeping up any more. I am looking for suggestions of system requirements for a new desktop or laptop for him to use over the next few years in these courses. Reading through the forums, it appears that many of you are well versed in this area. Thanks

I hope this is ok to do. Please feel free to delete it if necessary. If you're looking for a kids book for a Christmas present take a look at "Kyppa and the Duckling". My girlfriend wrote this story to honor our late Rottweiler Kyppa. It's a cute story she's had in her head for years and finally put a book together. Thanks for looking! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1514601966?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

I've been at this for a while now, and I have some friends who are heavy Magic players - I always keep my eye out for sealed product on clearance for them, but I never come across any. Is this a function of the card business, are they not allowed to clear/discount or do they just never bother? Anyone have any insights on M:TG clearance?
