One-of-a-kind Gift Ideas: Creations For Charity 2010
FBTB’s Charity Drive is not the only game in town. I am way, way, waaaaay overdue in posting this, but Nannan over at TBB is once again hosting Creations for Charity. To date, he’s raised over $5,000 in funds so far which is just mind boggling. The money he’s raised goes towards buying LEGO products for Toys for Tots. He’s constantly trolling the boards for deals to help stretch every last penny. Quite a task, but well worth the effort.
If you’re not familiar with Creations for Charity, Nannan’s Bricklink account is set up with all the details where you can browse, buy, and support his efforts. If you’re looking for a gift for a LEGO fan that is one-of-a-kind and not your everyday run-of-the-mill LEGO set, consider buying a MOC. Not only do you get something cool, you’ll be giving to charity to help kids discover what we already love: LEGO.

30005 Imperial Speeder Bike Available Online
If you haven’t been lucky enough to find them at your local brick and mortar Toys’R'Us store, you can now order the polybag 30005 Imperial Speeder Bike online. Unfortunately, there’s no free shipping and you’ll probably end up paying tax. Not worth the cost if you’re just getting one or two. But as an add-on, or if you get like, say… 999, then it’s probably worth it.
Thanks to that guy for the heads up.

FBTB Charity Drive 2010 – Update
In case you missed it, the 2nd Annual FBTB Charity Drive is underway. We’ve amassed a little over 250 donations, a far cry from my goal of 1,100. And only you can make that happen! A modest $2.00 donation gets you a raffle ticket good for two chances to win one of two epic prize packages. Enter as many times as you like for more chances to win. Your donations will go directly to Child’s Play Charity benefiting needy children hospitalized during the holidays. Want more info? Check out the original post for more details about the prizes.

Black Friday 2010
And so it begins… It was my original intention to post this on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, but this year I decided to post on Monday so that everyone can devise a tactical plan for Black Friday.
