They did such a good job of painting that shack. The Sonic stuff especially has the spot on pixel look, and the detail of even having the school logo in pixel form is great. I'm surprised they didn't sneak in a Techmo Bowl reference in there somewhere. When you wrote Lower Marion, is that the high school Kobe Bryant went to?
I think I have Brothers on one of the consoles, but never got around to it. Sounds like I'm missing something good and I would enjoy it.
Hahaha I can quit the little plastic bricks anytime I tell ya, anytime! 
Dang that achievement on Maw sounds like a real pain. That work around is a lot of work, but there are some things like that on tablet games where you shut off the WiFi or put the tablet in Airplane Mode, and shift the clock a couple of hours for the freemium games. I hope you get that achievement.
Those are solid shows. My mom also watched a lot of Westerns and other period pieces like Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons. Those are some good shows to watch on a lazy day.
You know I don't think I remember much from the 2nd soundtrack. After the first TH, I just turned the music down on next installments and had sports radio playing in the background. I played a lot of TH in between morning classes and that was usually the time of the Jim Rome Show.
It should but you know some mom in Middle America is going to try and sue because their kid got hit in the face with the Penguin (even though the little missles the vehicles shoot have some kick)
It has been years (like 05 maybe?) that I traded in games. Toys R Us had a crazy 90% off sale and had shopping carts filled with a bunch of stuff and sprinkled in there were games. I bought a bunch of games for like maybe $20. During this time a new GameStop opened by my house and they had a special trade in deal, so I flipped those games and made around $100 in credit. I think the biggest game with trade in value was on the X-Box and it was a fishing game. I got like $20 for it.
After that I haven't really traded in games
I haven't had any problems with Google Play and Amazon when they offered their freebies. Actually I think I might have had like .03 cents on my Google Play account for years just to take advantage of the freebies. You might be right. Damn I don't want to buy a Microsoft Point Card just for a free game.
From my understanding if you buy the Level Packs you get that figures one specific level in the game. If you have a fun pack of that level they unlock kind of like a free mode within that level, but you only get to unlock the full level with the Level specific minifigure. Each character has their own special traits, like the Wicked Witch from Wizard of Oz flies, Batman can grapple, Wyldstyle is a master builder, and Gandolf has the wizard powers.
As for the vehicles I think all you need is for a new character to be on the base during a story mission. There is an instruction option in the character wheel. When I had the Wicked Witch on the base I had the option of building the Flying Monkey which could be used as a vehicle. I played part of the Simpsons level and didn't get far passed the section where you build his car and save it to the vehicle figure on the base (I figured that the non minifigure bases are empty because you can build three different models using the same pieces)
That's cool, I have this fear that I am going to end up collecting every figure associated with the game. That was one of my favorite things to do in previous Lego games and this time its going to be physical figures/vehicles.
