Dude Makes Custom-Painted Minifig Babies

By David Ponce

Custom painted toys are nothing new under the sun. Very often however the paint chips off or you’re stuck with bad quality stickers. We’re told the guys at CitizenBrick offer higher quality items. More importantly, they offer some neat looking items, such as the baby minifigs you see in the picture above. Because, hey, if there aren’t babies, then why are there so many minifigs around? At $ 1 a pop, you better hope they’re good quality.

Hit the jump for a bunch more pictures of other custom painted LEGO figurines.

Multi-Zippered Sleeping Bag Lets You Regulate Your Temperature Just Right

By David Ponce

I have a strange internal thermostat. It’s picky to no end. Most of the time, I’m sweating, no matter how cool the place is. So what I end up doing is making my apartment glacial and hiding under the covers. Then as I start to get too hot, I poke certain body parts out until the perfect balance is achieved. It’s a tedious process but it’s the only way I can sleep. So they might have had me in mind when they came up with this sleeping bag. It features four horizontal zippers which can be used as vents. They are placed near the ankles, knees, waist, and chest and allow the camper to open them in various combinations for the optimal temperature adjustment. Which is great because hey, you don’t have any sort of control over the outside temperature, so something like this is essential. Comfort of course comes at a price, which in this case is $ 120. Mind you, that’s almost on par with a regular sleeping bag anyway, so you’re not paint much of a premium.

If no similar programs available then the service suppose to notify user when the application become available Installtion of found applications should be as easy as one click.

In addition the transition should include the transfer of application data such as information about level and status in games. Microsoft did not provide any technical details about how it could be implemented.
