Brad Bourque is a tech journalist and commerce writer based out of Portland, Oregon. As a lifelong deal hunter and computing enthusiast, he’s spent many weekend afternoons wandering the aisles of Fry’s, and even more mornings scouring deal forums for a discount. He’s covered PC gaming and home computing for sites like Digital Trends and WIRED, taking his practical outlook and cost consciousness with him along the way. Outside of work, he enjoys riding his bike, playing disc golf, or walking his giant pyrenees mix. On the weekends you can often find him downtown at the soccer stadium enjoying the Portland Thorns or Timbers, or spending hours grinding fishing in the latest MMO.

The Lego Game Boy drops to under $50.

I’m not too proud to admit that I already went ahead and purchased the Lego Game Boy for $47.99 at Macy’s. This 421-piece set features buttons you can press, two game cartridges, and lenticular screens that almost mirror the real handheld. If you don’t want to pay for shipping, you may be able to get it shipped to a nearby store for free. Read our review.

Fight back against the Covenant with a $40 discount on a USB-C Plasma Rifle.

If the launch of Halo: Campaign Evolved has you feeling nostalgic, Walmart has the Gel Blaster Halo Plasma Rifle on sale for $59.50 (usually $99.95). This faithful replica of the classic Halo weapon fires harmless, non-toxic gel balls at a range of up to 100 feet that dissolve. Unlike the in-game version, when the battery runs low you can charge it via USB-C, rather than chuck it at an unsuspecting Grunt.
