Beware of Scam Sites
We have all seen the fake duplicated accounts on social media. We know the tell tale signs of knowing how they are fake, but why are we all still falling victim to them and fake websites? I don’t have an easy answer. I guess we are all just so used to using the web we…

Looking to Buy Comics Online Try NewKadia.com
Buying Comics Whenever I have purchased comics online, I have always simply purchased from a small handful of online shops. Today I got a press release in my email about a shop that has apparently been in business for almost twenty years and is kind of local to me. Looks like they are strictly online,…

LEGO Maniac
I am an admitted brickoholic. This past month has been a whirlwind of LEGO buying and building. Started with the LEGO store’s annual VIP event. Which is an invitation only event that I have been going to for the past 3 years now (guess because I buy so much from them…if only there was a…

NO MIMOBOT FOR YOU!
I have been soup nazi-ed by Mimoco. It started out because I asked for the difference from the sale price I paid on Friday for the advertised sale price on Monday, which was a thirteen dollar difference in the item I was getting. They refused to give me the price difference and quoting some little…

Not Feeling the Love for Luvocracy
Luvocracy.com is a Pinterest-like shopping site that’s not all cracked up to be what it sells itself as. At first look at the site I cannot even figure out why anyone would shop there. The Pinterest-like layout is confusing and really only works if you aren’t really even shopping. So why not just stick with…

Are You a Tax Cheat?
If you live in PA and run down to Delaware to buy your diamonds from Robins Delaware Diamonds (no longer Ronbins Eighth & Walnut), you are a tax cheat. If you buy online and aren’t charged sales tax for PA, you’re a tax cheat. Yup, that’s right the Pennsylvania government wants you the average Joe…

Yelp.com Not as Good a Site as Everyone Tells Me It Is
I finally got around to writing up several reviews for Yelp.com and while I was on the site I noticed my favorite comic shop, 1up collectibles, had a Yelp “deal”. $75 for $50 (I knew my next comic pick up would be more than that so I bought it thinking I would be saving myself…

My Thoughts on the Batman Costume
With the new Batman Dark Knight Rises film coming out this summer, I really wanted to get a Batman costume this year for Halloween. Heck there is even still time to get one before the film hits the theaters if you wish to go to the midnight showing dressed as the Dark Knight. For a…

Check Out Our Catty Stacks
I little while back I got a few Catty Stacks to test out on my cats. I have to tell you I really liked them and the smaller cats did too, especially the two little foster kitties we had from One by One Cat Rescue. The two fosters would run through the house and leap…

I Want it Wednesday: Wampa Rug
Call me crazy (hahaha very funny), but I love this Wampa Rug. It is an officially licensed Star Wars product made by ThinkGeek.com (gotta love those geeks). I already have the TaunTaun sleeping bag (and I have to make a lightsaber noise every time I open it too). It keeps me toasty warm on those…

Grass is Always Greener
I bought the Dog’s Delight Sprout & Grow Garden for my cats (because I think cats like to eat grass as much if not more than dogs – just sayin’). It is made by Dunecraft the makers of fun, educational products for kids. You can find the items any where online or in Toys R…
