Lego First Order Heavy Scout Walker




I don’t know if the Disney connection of owning the Star Wars franchise is impacting the Lego line or not.  This unit has lots of pieces and that is always good with Legos.  I’m not sure about the design though.  It doesn’t appear to have the thoughtful and often realistic nature of traditional Lego models.  The resistance transport pod I got at the same time seems like it had a more thoughtful design.  Another thing I noticed is the packaging seems to be decreasing in quality.  The packaging does not in any way deter the function or fun of the Lego set but it would hopefully tie in with a price decrease but I haven’t noticed that.   So as always, Lego makes a good, challenging toy that provokes learning when your kid says the heck with the diagram and creates his own walker, for that it gets the usual 5 stars.  Characters included are General Hux, a First Order Gunner, Resistance Trooper and a First Order Flametrooper.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You
