- DLC! - Remember how you are going to have to pay for 1/3rd of the levels in LEGO The Hobbit? Well to prepare you for that, you can buy some character packs like "Dwarf Merchant Lady", or accessories like "Dwarf-kings wig". Brickfanatics

- Boston news - Are you a Bostonian*? If so, is that the right word? Also, you'll find a Discovery Center opening on your very doorstep. Well, perhaps not your doorstep, unless you are homeless, but at least in your area. It opens May 23. Boston Globe
- Corporate promotion of the week - Ben Saunders, polar explorer, is "brand ambassador" for Arctic. If I find out what that means I'll let you know. Brickfanatics
