Scored some $45 elf clubs and other half off sets

Correct but most (if not all) were marked like this so YMMV: Several were marked right there and then in my presence. Then I was thanked for clearing some shelf space. well…you’re welcome

I still remember E.T. to this day for how bad it was. If you're 8 years old and you think a game sucks, it really sucks. Especially compared to what games you were comparing it against. Can't say I ever played Adventure, spent most of my time on Frogger and Pitfall I think.

Wait....what???? Adventure was a great game (with the Easter Egg) and absolutely nothing like the train wreck E.T. There are very few internet fights I would battle until I lose an arm, but this is one of them. 😄

If this is the lexicon for BPers: "B-Factor" for GWPs and other "limited" promotions: the likelihood of complaints/out cry by various peanut galleries that may force LEGO to change course I think we should credit BPer: Captain Obvious

Any way of knowing if there's a smooth haired Leaia inside without breaking the seals? You could look at your seal codes and see if they are from earlier in 2009 and that would increase your chances. If they are 2010 or 2011 then leave it sealed. Set 6212 as well I believe.

The Atari 7800 was my childhood but this still gets me right in there. LEGO really nailed down the aesthetic of everything here. I played Asteroids and Centipede (well as Millipede) for hours. Adventure is an ....interesting choice for inclusion as it can be considered on par with the E.T. game. Far out.

I have seen those slicers in the store before but I could never recall the name. Thank you. Perhaps if it weren't for how useful in almost everything a food processor is, the cleanup wouldn't irk me as much. Still not as frustrating in my opinion using then subsequently cleaning a blender. Maybe I just need one of them 'fancy schmancy' models because my experience those took more effort with ingredients or the blades getting stuck. Compared to a food processor which quickly blends everything straight up. There's a simple joy in turning peanuts into butter in what amounts to blending them into oblivion. Haha. Over easy is the one method for eggs I have not really done. I read it is the best way in preserving the natural proteins that can be lost from the heat when frying. While the egg whites on their own are fine, I find the taste of the yolks by themselves to be quite ....'chalky' I guess. For myself I whip up the whole egg and fry them up that way. My breakfast pretty much every morning has been two slices of toast, a five whole egg omelette, and around twelve shrimp. Some days I will mix it up with French toast or egg-in-a-basket. And instead of another man's coffee, a cup of water with a tablespoon each of blended lemon, apple cider vinegar, and honey. The bit you mentioned about ordering up an over easy egg and critiquing reminded me I used to do the same for the longest time especially growing up except with a cheeseburger. That was my "litmus test", like every restaurant to me as a kid was worth their weight only if they could make a darn good cheeseburger. Haha. I cannot remember who did make the best. I do recall some oddities but rather tasty overall.

yeah it's all about comparison... The marketing folks at LEGO and key retail partners probably see 30%-40% off as the going "deal alert" for toys category (Their 20% off model is out-dated and definitely so w/ the "slashing of prices" we keep hearing about). Raising the RRP allows them to keep their margins and still be "competitively priced" w/ the competition. seems stupid and manipulative..but no doubt there are sheeple out there who will buy based on percent off

Being chiefly a silver stacker, I enjoy this meme.

That stupid PSA about parenting is bothering me... "You don't have to be perfect to be a perfect parent." Yes. Yes, you do. If you want to be perfect you have to be perfect. What the PSA should try to get across is, "You don't have to be perfect to be a good parent."
