Also this recent Lego gift-with-purchase, Hot Chocolate Stand, is just really cute
It's a Lego set depicting a small building, like a coffee stand, except it is shaped like a huge red drink mug. Its top is decorated to look like the "mug" is filled with hot chocolate, complete with "marshmallows" and a huge candy cane There is a small seating area to the left, with a small snow-covered holiday tree, and a customer sitting at a table with a mug of hot chocolate in his hand. The table even looks like bars of chocolate

I particularly like the look of the windows and the shiny printed piece used for the clock face.

The set looks nice enough on its own, but adding a Lego train really pulls everything together!

I really liked Lego set 60469, Central Train Station! I was kinda interested, but Lego.com's 4x rewards points on the set clinched the decision for me

I love the look and the little details, like the functional elevator, and the control panel that looks like an old 9 volt Lego train controller!
Lego set 60469, Central Train Station, fully built. There are two vertical sides of the building, on either side of railroad tracks, and they come together in an arch over the tracks. The left-hand side features a café on one level and a seating area on another. The right side features a functional elevator -- you a can turn a knob that raises and lowers a small platform in an elevator shaft. Above it all is a small clock tower, and some pigeons A close-up of a mini figure pushing a baby stroller. They're standing on the small platform that serves as the elevator. To the left, a gray spiral can be seen running the length of the elevator shaft, but which is the mechanism that raises and lowers the platform as it rotates. A small console removed from the control center area of the set. A sticker shows controls, including a gray rectangle with a big yellow dial. This looks like the real-life controller that was used for Lego 9-volt trains that were sold in the late 90s.

I built the Lego holiday express train and I really like it! It was fun to build, especially the moving parts (the smokestack bobs up and down, and the bear moves its arms and head) and the aesthetics are really cute and festive

I don't usually care much for winter decor, but this year is different

Apex predator
It's a tan brown cat lying on her back, belly exposed, and hind legs up in the air. She looks very sleepy and incapable of supporting herself

It's a Lego-ful day! My Insiders Weekend order from a week ago finally arrived. Not a huge space fan, but this little commemorative build was really cute and fun

And I've been wanting to get this holiday train for a while! Love the colors, though like others, I will probably customize it later
A small Lego display with a square blue base and a yellow spherical object suspended above, with red and transparent bricks around it that look like a spaceship and its afterimage trail, which also looks like a ring around the sphere. It looks like a three-dimensional build of the Lego Space logo. There is also a small blue spaceship near the base, with a micro figure astronaut. The box for Lego set 10361: Holiday Express Train. It's a locomotive with a tender, flat car, and passenger car behind it. The color scheme is primarily a powder blue, with dark blue trim and black accents. The train is also adorned with green leaves and wreaths with red flowers and fruit, as well as red ribbons.

Just a heads-up that Barnes & Noble has a free Lego gift with purchase of $75+ of Lego. It also works online, and though they don't have any sales, they do have some slightly newer retired sets!
An ad for Barnes & Noble: free exclusive Lego set when you spend $75 or more on Lego: The set is called "skaters in the park" and depicts a small snowy scene of ice skaters

Woke up a bit late but had a pretty nice relaxing holiday!

Unbelievable luck today. I went to pick up a prescription, and just happened to catch a Pokemon card restock as it was happening. There were already folks waiting, but even after they got through, there were still a few items left

They were 3-pack blisters of Phantasmal Flames with a Weavile promo!
Pokemon TCG cards from Phantasmal Flames! There is a promo holo Weavile, a holo Mega Diancie EX, and a holo Toxtricity Below that are reverse holos of Genesect, Dewgong, Archaludon, Lombre, and Buneary. They are mostly covered up with common cards of Lotad and Gligar Lotad's card shows the Pokemon at the edge of a pond, surrounded by flowers like water lilies, bearded iris, and wisteria. Gligar's card shows the Pokemon gliding through a city colored by neon lights

I noticed her in Legends Z-A! Love her Chandelure outfit
A female character in Pokemon Legends Z-A. I think she's just a nameless NPC that competes alongside you in Canari's contest. She has long, deep purple hair with bangs. She's wearing a white outfit with big sleeves, and a hat that looks like a Chandelure

I'm a sucker for offers like this. Buy some Chex and upload your receipt for a free Peanuts Chex tin!! Just gotta wait about 8 weeks for mine to come in 🤞

There's a photo of Chex Mix on the list, and Peanuts characters in winter attire along the side of the tin.

Finally got around to beating the 7-star Hydreigon in SV with another player. Umbreon used Light Screen and the Calm Mind/Stored Power combo. Hisuian Goodra used Skitter Smack and Acid Spray to debuff, Life Dew to heal. Took a while, but an easy win!

Stopped playing Pokemon TCG Pocket for a while but trying to get back into it. I opened ten packs and one was a god pack!!

It's definitely a fun little app considering real life Pokemon cards are still nigh impossible to find at retailers
Some of the results of opening ten packs are visible. Some of pack 7 are cut off but you can see Sandslash and Furfrou Pack 8 has five full-art cards! Luxray, Hitmonchan, Corviknight, Rapidash, and Makuhita Part of pack 9 is cut off but you can see Bewear, Pansear, Misdreavus, Silcoon, and a full art Corviknight again

Oh yeah, I forgot to post earlier, but last week or so I also got a shiny Carbink! Not sure what I'd use it for, but it's such a nice-looking shiny

Yoshiki is dealing with family problems, teenage love, grief, and supernatural terror all at once. Everyday, mundane worries mix with paranormal stressors in a familiar and unsettling way

We're a bit late but currently watching "The Summer Hikaru Died". I haven't heard much about it, just seen it mentioned here and there, but it seems pretty popular

I think it's a really great show so far! It's a small-town supernatural high school horror love story??
Promotional poster art for "The Summer Hikaru Died" - the top half shows the two main characters, Hikaru and Yoshiki, walking their bicycles down a wooded path in sunset. The lower half depicts some supporting characters, their profiles appearing in the shadows cast by the two boys above. The setting sun's glare in the dead center of the poster looks almost like an almond-shaped slit. Creepy alien-like organic matter spreads in the lower-left corner of the poster.
