I have to say that even though I’m no longer a kid, I still love LEGO bricks. They are great for building pretty much anything you get your mind set on, and you don’t always need the fancy kits to make great stuff. This LEGO bag isn’t official LEGO merch, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome.
The LEGO Block Bag is supposed to be scale replica of a yellow LEGO brick, made from 100% cotton denim, with an unbleached creamy yarn running through it. There are little flecks of brown and cream, giving the denim a colorful variation throughout its surface. The bag is big enough to carry around a couple of gadgets and books – or a few hundred LEGO blocks.
Sadly, this particular bag sold about two weeks ago, but there are other LEGO-inspired items available from Karen Booker’s Luxford St. Etsy shop.

If you live in Europe and have someone on your Christmas list who wants a new Nintendo 3DS XL, you’ll have a couple of new options to choose from in time for holiday shopping. The most interesting of the new 3DS XL consoles is one that Pokémon fans will love. This version will come in a bright Pikachu yellow color.
Sadly, the handheld includes no bundled video games and doesn’t even have an AC adapter. Apparently, Nintendo is no longer offering AC adapters with their handhelds in Japan or Europe, but will continue to include AC adapters in North America.
If Pokémon isn’t your thing, there are two different white 3DS XL bundles coming as well. One of the white systems will come with Mario Kart 7 pre-installed. That version will launch on November 16. The other white model comes with Super Mario 3D Land pre-installed. That system will be available on the same day the Nintendo Wii U launches, November 30.
There’s no word on a North American release for either the Pikachu or white 3DS XL.
