Yeah "win" was a poor choice of words. Lego already had one Gingerbread House model last year, so I doubt they'll do that again unless they decide to do a proper Christmas building this year. As for my hours, I only work weekends due to my personal availability. So it varies for me from around...

Lego Ideas review deadline just passed. I think this is the first time where I am not really excited about any of them. Fishing shack looks cool, but I doubt it would win. Buildable BB-8 seems like something that Lego would release on their own at some point so I doubt we'll see that approved...

I preordered the Mystery Machine from Amazon with Prime. They shipped on the 31st and it arrived on the 1st. Was pleasantly surprised. Great set, but the stickers drive me crazy. Especially lining up the text on the van.

shop.lego.com I'm probably going to brave the crowds tomorrow to the Lego Store to pick up this year's holiday set and some other sets. Want to get the double promo of the free calendar and the free set. Calendar has coupons for three minifigures.

Just checked. The rules or faq say 1,000. The "How It Works" section says 5,000. So there is a discrepancy there.

Surprising. I doubt 5,200 have beaten it already. You should at least get a t-shirt.

Got the trophy about four minutes ago. Just wish I had been playing the past few weeks so that I had the points to redeem for a tier 4 item. Oh well. I'll just have to be vigilant and quick for the restocks.

My one-day adventure at SDCC was completely unsuccessful. Got there at around 6:30 waiting for the hall to open. Didn't get into the LEGO line before it was capped to buy the exclusives despite heading for it first thing. Then the wife and I got to the drawing about and hour early and got a...

Man...as long as I manage to grab something from Lego I'll be happy. The Unikitty, '66 Batmobile and Rocket Raccoon set all interest me. I plan on lining up early and heading straight to Lego's booth first. Probably won't help me score the giveaway figures if prior years are any indication, but...

http://blogs.wsj.com/briefly/2014/07/16/rockets-warbird-at-a-glance/ San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Rocket Raccoon set. $39.99 for less than 150 pieces...but the Rocket figure has an exclusive deco if I'm not mistaken. This will be my first year at SDCC so I'll definitely try to get this and...

Finally got the longboard...think it said 46 left about a minute ago.

Few points if you have a Meijer nearby: Simpsons polybags are only $3.00...seems like they are keeping the price the same as the last series there. Ended up getting $16.00 back after returning the ones I bought earlier in the month from Target and Walgreens. Also Chima polybag 30263 Spider...

So Target's toy book is out and it has a coupon for $5 off any set of $29 or more, plus they have an offer this week for a free $10 giftcard with purchase of a set of $39.99 or more. I'm wanting to get Ninjago Samurai Mech, but would it be a problem that the coupon would bring the price down...

Target's big summer markdown for toys has been the last Thursday in July for the past several years, so tomorrow would be a good day to check. The only sets my Target still have on clearance are the AC sets that I already got my fill of from K-Mart's clearance sale, so I'm not expecting...
