It was my birthday on the 15th, and I have a fun little birthday story I thought other Lego addicts might enjoy. A present from my wife, a stylish new hat. A gift from my daughter. Can you guess what they are? Yes, they are felted Lego blocks. Then a card from my son. Signed by my whole family. How sad. But luckily I ordered something for myself from eBay. I didn't open the shipping box until my birthday and found an unexpected birthday surprise. The seller threw it in for free. 5 star service. An amazing day all around,

If you're a Pinhead like me then you know how much of a comeback the pinball industry has been doing in the last few years. Between Stern, who has been around since the beginning still coming up with new tables, to newcomers Jersey Jack Pinball here in the states and Heighway Pinball based in the UK. Anyway, the point I'm getting to is Jersey Jack Pinball is designing their next (second) pinball machine on (wait for it....) The Hobbit! I figured since Stern did The Lord of the Rings pinball then they would have gotten the rights to do this too but I guess Jersey Jack managed to snag those especially after wowing everyone with their much long awaited The Wizard of Oz …

Happy Independence Day to my American Brethren(and all who wish to celebrate with us).

Since the comaprison has been made between Baseball cards and LEGO investing, I was wondering if anyone knew if sports cards are making a comeback? I figured someone here might have hung in there with card investing and knew what the current situation is. Just Curious. I have read that they might be attempting to bounce back.

Is this model worth getting for $300. I never knew TRU sold ipads and I still have a ton of giftcards paid for @ 90% face value. Or should I just get her the newest version? She will bascially be playing games and doing Facebook. Thanks for any input on the topic. Cheers, LD

Chase finally coughed it up. Most of the article is fluff that I skimmed but the actual answer is inside. http://www.vox.com/2014/8/27/6006139/did-tony-die-at-the-end-of-the-sopranos Edit: OK kinda of but not really, according to the follow up article. Sorry.

We have covered every other area with movies, TV series, music, etcetera, but not books. In spite of the internet as well as all other forms of digital media, the classic form of the written word still carries on to this day and thankfully so. From novels to comic books, what do you enjoy reading? :scenic:

With the release of Microsoft's latest operating system, who here is looking to upgrade or already has with something to say?

I know this is not really Lego related at all, but I am in Suzhou, China right now for work. I've never been here before and will be here until the 22nd. Already checked out the Lego store, interesting to see their offerings, nothing was different! But they still had some SW BHz's, (Lots of Princess Leia) Anyways, i'll have the weekend open and was wondering if anyone might have any suggestions on things to do. I know it's a long shot but thought I would ask. It's a very interesting city, already tried some Durian. Really nice people all around and it is interesting to get a Chinese nationals perspective on things happening around the world. It really has chang…

Lego ends advertising with Daily Mail after calls for companies to 'Stop Funding Hate' http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/lego-ends-advertising-daily-mail-stop-funding-hate-campaign-a7413361.html

My $0.02: This is a widely-discussed topic in my face-to-face friendships. I tutored math (Algebra 1 thru Fininte Problems) for 8 years while I was a HS, Undergrad & Masters student. This experience left me with 2 firm conclusions: #1 Long-term, consistent, incremental, and monitored tutoring is a slam dunk... but all 4 factors must be in place. "Smart" is not a requisite. #2 The "best practices" (in my experience only) I discovered over those yrs suggested that I should not try being father and tutor simultaneously given the dynamics of each job. We use Kumon, but it's not best of breed... it's just easy and inexpensive. I support t…

Sooo, this new Masters of the Universe, I heard it's pretty messed up.

I'm in the market for a new laptop or chromebook and looking for a bit of advice from my fellow brickpickers. Too much backstory: I grew up using Macs in the 90s because my dad was an elementary school teacher spearheading the use of computers in education in his district. I used an iBook in college that had so many problems, it was awful, but it was mine, then I got a real nice Macbook Pro with my first paycheck after college and it was quite good, only had it's logic board replaced once! All this time I was using Windows workstations for GIS and I became disillusioned with Apple as a megacorporation. My current laptop is a 2016 Razer Blade because I wanted a nice A…

This is the virtual tour that people are talking about online of a reseller's hose. It's a frightening maze. I've gotten lost a dozen times. It's an epic walkthrough . . . part nightmare, part survival horror. https://3d-marketing.captur3d.io/view/keller-williams-louisville-east/8800-blue-lick-rd
