Pulpy Stats for 2012
Taking a look at Pulpconnection stats for 2012. Here is the count of views as reported by the JetPack plugin from WordPress.com.
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.

Merry Christmas 2012
Merry Christmas to all the pulpy readers out there enjoying the holiday season. As Pulpconnection tradition, I’d be remiss if I didn’t show my favorite Christmas gift prank video of all time! This is a classic that’s approaching 15,000 views. Reminisce with me, and you’ll agree that was one cruel prank!

While that video is full of awesomeness, here’s an awesomer Christmas bonus for 2012. There is a lesson within so watch and learn…

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.
