Really Non LEGO Stuff

http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=28881896&camp=CME:TRU:EM100214A_ThursdayDynamic&csep=d53761d9-e942-4424-be55-8e5884a1471e#goto-top-of-page My anniversary is coming up and my wife always wanted an iPad. 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

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

What began as a simple video-sharing service started by three former PayPal employees way back in February 14 of 2005 later to be purchased by Google in November 2006 has since become a staple of the internet and our lifestyles (for most of us). The very first uploaded clip was a guy's brief trip to a local zoo with some commentary which is completely mild where today's uploads can range from a variety of critics raging on about some movie, a gamer showing off how fast he/she can beat that insane level of Sonic, to even a corporation like BBC reporting what's happening. There is a high volume of absurdity to be found unfortunately between the comments section on many or c…

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.

This certainly won't hurt the value of the LEGO ships, especially some of the lesser known ones like the Y/A/B-Wings and maybe even some of the TIE Variants. Who knows how well they have aged, but these two games were way ahead of their time and fantastic back then. Old guys like me rediscovering them (and their kids, and a new generations with Rebels and new Star Wars movies) could be a nice side boost to the starfighter kits. Though quite frankly, I don't really care how it effects LEGO prices. I am pumped they are doing this. Now to find the time to actually play... http://kotaku.com/x-wing-tie-fighter-are-finally-getting-digital-re-rele-1651470045?ut…

Alright guys, I know little about Pokemon, but my son is really getting into it and I was planning on getting him some stuff for Christmas. He has his favorite characters, if I get a tin with that character on it, is he guaranteed to get that guy? Or are you just buying that certain tin to have the tin with that guy on it? Thanks in advance.

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

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…

Friend of mine is going to visit me very soon and I was wondering If I'll be able to buy myself a phone online (off contract) with shipping to his address so he can later take the phone with himself onboard. I'm looking for Blackberry KeyOne phone. Can you help me with some websites? RPP for this phone is set to 549USD. I don't want to bother him with searching for this etc.... but since you folks are so market oriented maybe you able to share some hints or advices where I could buy one with continental shipping within US. thanks.

Could someone please tell me what English kids' song is being sung on this melody? The German song is called "Fuchs, du hast die Gans gestohlen" ("Fox, you stole the goose") :

So, I'm thinking of getting some type of a new pet. I've been looking at various reptiles/amphibians such as tortoises, frogs, and the like. Anyone own anything that they can recommend?

I am only interested in getting the $20.00 Movie Stub, there is a link that shows what theaters might have the stuff. https://www.yahoo.com/movies/first-look-star-wars-force-140015010.html

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…

An oldie, but a goodie. Let's have a little fun. All wings, check in!

I recently saw the light and switched from iOS to andriod with a new note 4 installed the ebay app, and got ka-ching notifications all night and drove my wife crazy. I looked in the app and turned on quiet time from 10pm to 6am, but now I don't get any notification sounds at all. Andriod retarded, so help me out, I turned something off somewhere. p.s. not getting the nice Paypal noise either

Hi! My girlfriend and I are going to her family Christmas party where there will be approximately 40 people and we want to host a version of Family Feud between the adults (ages 45-60) and the "kids" (ages 20-30) We have a trophy and small prize for the winners and came up with 10 questions and are trying to ask about 25 people each to come up with the surveys. If there are 10-12 people that are interested in helping and be counted as one of the "we asked 50 people", then please pm me. Silly answers are acceptable and it will only take 2-3 minutes of your time. Thanks in advance (:

This could really change LEGO Ideas. It would be great to build virtual lego sets with any piece imaginable as a hologram.

Hi everyone! Has any of you tried the Star Wars Force Collection game? It's a card game in which you collect cards, battle with them join legions with ships and participate in wars, etc... I find the game fun and somewhat competitive when trying to trade your cards with others. Most players try to slip you low level rarity cards for rare cards, but overall it's really fun. I was just wondering if any Brickpickers are playing it. Cheers!
