Hero Factory Breakout In LEGOŽ Stores, More Available Online Posted by Richard on December 19, 2011 at 06:23 PM CST:
My local LEGO® Store (Crabtree Valley Mall location in North Carolina) was able to tell me over the phone that they now have at least five of the new Hero Factory sets. I did not take up much of their time to find out what specific sets those were, except to confirm that they did not have Splitface in yet, but they did have the new Rocka. The online store has updated to add in most, if not all, of the remaining sets that were previously unavailable. Forum link.
Hero Factory Break-Out Sets In TRU Stores, BOGO 50% Off Sales Posted by Richard on December 13, 2011 at 05:40 PM CST:
If you have not already seen it on BZPower (who also have reviews up for some of the new H.F. sets), the new Breakout sets from Hero Factory are making their way into Toys R Us stores and their shop at home service. The sets are on sale in TRU stores and online (buy one get one half off), but are in most cases at least two dollars higher than the expected price buying it from LEGO® Stores and thier own S@H site (Which currently do NOT have these products). I've run some numbers for you in the full report. Forum link
Insane Minecraft Pocket Edition Sale Posted by Richard on December 7, 2011 at 11:16 AM CST:
I almost could not believe my own eyes when I saw the Minecraft Pocket Edition in the android marketplace for $0.10 USD. Normaly the game runs for $6.99, so to see it go for a tenth of a dollar is truly amazing. The ios/ipod version is still holding at full price however. Its nowhere near as great as the full PC version, but there are plans to add more features such as survival mode. I have no idea when the sale is set to end, so hurry up and get it! Forum link.UPDATE: It appears this offer is now over.
Terraria On Sale Posted by Richard on November 23, 2011 at 09:44 PM CST:
Terraria is a spectacular side scrolling adventure game in the same genre as Minecraft, where the land is made up of blocks which you can mine and craft with. While both games have their strong points, I personally like Terraria the best of the two, and it's a spectacular game for $10.00 USD (And even better, it's on sale for $5.00 USD, or $15 to buy yourself and three Steam friends a copy until the end of the 27th). On top of all the great content in the game already, a new, free update is right around the corner that adds in a great number of new features and items. Forum link.
