Black Friday is right around the corner everyone. Does anyone have any items they are hoping to snag on Black Friday?

Hrmmm, I've been thinking about the MS Band 2 but not too seriously. Also, Tomb Raider and FO4. But also, not too seriously. If BB had sales on those online, I may buy in.

Nothing I'm dying for. Agreed, if FO4 is on some great sale, I might bite. Never played but I'll admit all those damn commercials are getting to me.
My son's hounding me to get LEGO Dimensions, I even saw it for pretty much 55% off at Target. But no way in hell I'm starting yet another TTL game, and I told him that too...
TBH, I'm kinda 'toyed' out. The only thing I'd really want is a sub-$500 quality electric skateboard (no not those AWFUL fake hoverboards, don't get me started...) Most of the good boards are over $1K, I even looked at making it a project w/ my kid and most of the kit pieces end up costing that much. I even looked at making a drift trike using an electric motor and that got pricey too.
Oh well.

I grabbed a 55" TV for the in-laws from Best Buy ($350) and a 3D projector for me. I'd been wanting the Panasonic PT-AE3000U for several years, found a refurbished with <100 hours on the lamp for ~$1200 and decided it was time to upgrade to 3D.

My wife's iPad is breaking down. It's an iPad 2. I have about $500 in gift certs and crap for BB, so I was hoping to get something through them but so far, I've had little luck finding anything that is at least 32G with cellular access and seems decent. She won't want a subscription or a mini. So, it seems like an Air or Air 2 are the devices of interest but still too expensive. Lemme know if you guys know a way out of this jam

$500 is a tough number. You can sometimes find them on BB for the 64GB Wifi at your price, but the cellular is your deal killer.
Your best bet for that price is Craigslist.

Best Buy currently has the iPad Air 32GB w/ cellular for $479.99 if you're willing to activate with a 2-year contract. Otherwise, it's $579.99 unactivated. I don't think there will be much better deals than that for the specs you're looking for.

Mine was a quiet Black Friday since there's not much we've needed nor was there much that had a Black Friday deal.
I did get some used workout gear from a local CrossFit box that ran a sale at their warehouse on Saturday. Got a Schwinn Airdyne. That thing is awful yet effective.
What's the deal w/ those Instax cameras? My daughter begged for one for her birthday and her friends have them. Yet they're all attached to their iPhones and Instagram. Why the need for $1 pictures?
