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,…

I Want It Wednesday: LEGO Jurassic World 75919 Indominus Rex Breakout

Star Trek LEGO-like Sets for Xmas
My normal collecting mania is Star Trek, but lately I have been sticking to just getting LEGO stuff instead. Then of course Hasbro came out with the Kre-o Star Trek line and I had to have it all! Look at all this cool stuff! (Some of which Target has on clearance…I almost wish I had…

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…

Review: 1Up Collectibles Comic Shop

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…

Tis the Season….Scam Season That Is
Got a text message today telling me I won a $1000 Target gift card. YAY (if it were real). First off I never entered a contest secondly I knew this had to be a scam. So first thing I did when I hit the office was Google the phone number it came from — 323-636-8891. First…
