Better LEGO at Toys R Us
Over the holidays, the LEGO Store at Ala Moana was wiped out of the good stuff. They received the new 2013 sets right before Christmas, and accordingly, shoppers went on a brick-buying frenzy. There is some new stuff left but not much. Instead, I was surprised at the selection available at Toys R Us. I found all the sets I’d want, including the brand new Chima line that releases on January 1, 2013.
I missed out on getting Batman’s Tumbler, but this set makes up for it!
The new Chima sets are supposed to release on the first of the new year, but seemingly, they’re already out.
I don’t want a full-on AT-AT walker, so this is a nice, cheap alternative… with Yoda too!
So if you’re looking for a post-Christmas LEGO buy, check out Toys R Us.
Happy New Year!
After ringing in the New Year with Pop-Its, this trio of LEGO minifigures starts off Series 9 in 2013.
Not a bad start to my Series 9 collection. I don’t know why but the chicken suit guy makes me laugh.
LEGO X-Men Was Hot Yesterday
Not sure why but my LEGO X-Men post was hot yesterday, bringing in a lot of views. Here are Pulpconnection’s popular views for Thursday, December 27, 2012.
Kinda curious what triggered this spike (leading to 911 total views yesterday).
Holiday Gift Guide 2013: LEGO Back to the Future
Yes, you’re reading that right. This Gift Guide recommendation is for 2013, and it’s aimed at LEGO lovers. Sometime in the upcoming year, LEGO sets themed from Back to the Future will be in production. The genesis of this set was a LEGO Cuusoo project that got enough support from fans.
Here’s the announcement of this latest LEGO Cuusoo selection.

Might as well start your 2013 Christmas shopping now!
Holiday Gift Guide: Music from Rihanna
Time for Christmas shopping is just about over. It’s way too late for online orders to arrive, and if you can’t find anything in the local stores, what are you going to do? How about online orders that are available immediately? Something like handpicked tunes for a music fan.
Here’s my collection of highlights from Rihanna’s discography.
This is by no means comprehensive, just some of the songs in my iTunes playlist. While you’re listening in, take notice of Rihanna’s album artwork. You’ll see a progression from a fresh face in the music industry to a veteran vixen.
Why I Need to Stay Away from Kicks Sites
This is why me and my (lack of) willpower needs to stay away from kicks web sites — the Nike LeBron X Prism.
Holiday Gift Guide: Oakley 3D Glasses for “The Hobbit”
When watching 3D movies at the theater, why settle for their cheesy, flimsy, ill-fit glasses? Thanks to Oakley, you can get a high quality experience wearing their own 3D glasses. These are thematically designed for The Hobbit but not so overtly and are a must for serious (and stylish) movie goers.
Holiday Gift Guide: Happy
Time to get gifts is quickly running out, and although it’s the happy holidays, it may not feel so happy at times. So… why not give the gift of Happy? More specifically, The Happy Movie. Yes, it’s a real movie, more like a documentary exploring what it means to be happy.
Does that idea make you happy? Then how about a free gift of Happy? Starbucks Pick of the Week is a free rental of The Happy Movie. So grab a few of the cards then send out the redemption code to those in your life who need a free gift of Happy.
Thanks Scion Hawaii!
So I didn’t win one week with the Scion FR-SÂ but let bygones be bygones and let’s all move on. And moving on is even easier after winning a goody bag from Scion Hawaii’s Twelve Days of Christmas social media giveaway. Each day, Scion Hawaii has been posing a question to its Facebook fans and one participant is randomly picked. Guess who won Day 6? 🙂
The winnings come in this small Scion pouch.
But this pouch is stuffed. There’s a Scion-branded stand for a tablet, ear buds, a key chain, and the greatly-timed Ala Moana gift card with $50.
I was hoping for keys to this…
But hey, I’ll still take my prize pack! There are still two more days of the contest so be sure to become a FB fan of Scion Hawaii. Thanks again, Scion Hawaii.
