Hey, procrastinator! Yeah, you! This Kids Woot deal for a LEGO Ninjago set could be just what the ninja ordered. It’s over half off, which is pretty rare when it comes to LEGO, and you can build a ton of different models with it. And, most importantly, you can get it by X-Mas if you use 2-day shipping.
This deal is good until 10PM PST today, so if you let your natural tendencies win out, you may actually have to go to a bricks and mortar store to do your holiday shopping. The horror!

With the Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug opening this past weekend, my wife found this LEGO re-creation of the Dwarven City of Erebor on YouTube. If you’ve got 80 thousand spare LEGO pieces hanging about, and have the talent of LEGO enthusiasts Jack Bittner and Blake Baer, then you too may be able have your own Gimli-sized Erebor. I was most amazed by the waterfall and lake below it. And then there’s the giant Dwarven statues adorning the gates to the inner city. Fantastic!
I don’t know if Desolation revisited Erebor in its glory, as we saw it at the beginning of the Unexpected Journey – I haven’t seen the movie yet. But I’ll guess that there’s at least a glimpse of it again, if Peter Jackson stays true to the pattern of repetitive flashbacks he used in the LOTR trilogy. Have you seen the movie? If so, please let me know how you liked it.
I know it’s the holiday season and that we should expect sales, but I’m exhibiting my crotchety old man ways and hating on the overuse of terms like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the like. A couple weeks ago, I was at my front door screaming at the neighborhood kids to get off my lawn when I heard about Brown Thursday and Mattycollector’s 8 Day Cyber Monday Week that started on Tuesday, and nearly had an aneurysm.

This weekend, you’ll be able to pick up a bunch of stuff from DC Collectibles at Shop DC Entertainment’s “Black Friday Returns!” sale. For example, the MAD Just-Us-League figures are back on sale for over half off. But there’s even more stuff – 337 items in total on sale, including action figures, busts, statues, phone cases, and clothing. The sale features DC merchandise from other partners too, including Mattel (Man of Steel and DC Unlimited stuff), Square Enix Play Arts Kai figures from Arkham, DC LEGO sets, and DC Mimobots from Mimoco, to name a few. There’s even the Hot Toys Camo Tumbler.
The best discounts are on the DC Collectibles stuff, as you might expect. I’m just trying to prep myself for the next couple of Black Fridays until Christmas (which thankfully falls on a Wednesday) is over. Bah humbug!
In conjunction with LEGO, Marvel has published a series of videos featuring our favorite LEGO Marvel Super Heroes. The first episode sets up Loki as the mastermind behind the scenes, as he powers up Doc Ock for a fight versus Spider-Man.
