Does any one where I can download a printable brick list at? Would like to have it being new to lego I'd like to be able to identify what all the bricks are, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

If Toys-R-Us online doesn't have an item in their database anymore after entering a search phrase, they make suggestions for you that you can click. Those suggestions usually have nothing to do with what they actually have in stock as well. Instead they seem to be based solely on closely-spelling words. So, you can end up going through quite a few of interesting phrases. Good for a laugh. Here's an example: "Lego Haunted House" Did you mean: Lego Haunted Horse Lego Hunted Pony Lego Hunter Pony Lego Hunger Pony

got my first Death Star on CL for $330. Loved the deal and the box condition but the tapes on both sides of the box have begun to slide. doesnt look like a nice clean fresh out of the factory seal.

It's an old movie, but I think this will make a lot of people jealous! http://lego.gizmodo.com/5018990/lego-secret-vault-contains-all-sets-in-history

Hey all... Any idea what an average US lego store does in sales volume each year? Thanks

What is difference between the Shuttle Expedition 10231, and Shuttle Adventure 10213? I have the Expedition should I also get the Adventure? They look the same to me.

do you think we will ever see fantastic four legos, there is a new Fantastic Four movie coming out in 2015, i dont think we will see them

I just bought set 6211 brand new in the box for my son and I have the instructions and box but there was a broken piece. I sent Lego a note and I need to give them the proof of purchase. The newer sets are easy to get the # as they are all on the back cover of the instructions but for this set there is a microscopic number on the last page starting with 45 but wanted to make sure that is what they are looking for. Thanks

I had the pleasure of visiting Brick by Brick, a new LEGO exhibit by Adam Reed Tucker (The artist who started the LEGO Architecture series). Adam is most famous for his architectural models of Skyscrapers, so this show is a bit different as it covers a wider range of themes including Architecture, Engineering, History, Disney, and Rollercoasters. There is something for everyone at this show! I visited the exhibit at MSI Chicago in June, while attending Brickworld Chicago 2016.I wanted to share a few highlights from the show to highlight the diversity of the exhibit...Golden Gate Bridge, 1937, San Francisco, CAThe most striking model in the show is the massive model of…

Happy Independence Day to everyone regardless of background, country, race, Lego investing opinions, etc... At one point, we all have earned our "independence" in one way or another (e.g. The Master Builders from Lord Business, various countries from the British ) and remember to "Crush it like Quint this holiday weekend" and BE SAFE .

Hey, Was wondering if any of you who build have any expertise on a good quality Lego table for the kiddos. I've been browsing EBay and Amazon and have taken a liking to a table made by a company in North Dakota called Flextoys, they make what looks like a good quality, sturdy table with solid oak legs. They offer a model with or without a mesh storage bag in the middle for about 160 plus 20 bucks to ship. There's also some less impressive looking all-plastic tables and an official Lego table with a pretty cool singular design but it's well over 200 bucks. Anyone have any good advice on this stuff?

These just blew my mind, I just had to share it. http://kotaku.com/these-lego-nintendo-64-transformers-are-just-way-too-aw-1153666266

Hey BP guys and gals, I am in a small pickle with my 8089 set for my kiddo. We got this set and when we opened it up we were missing the left horn for the wampa figure. I have contacted TLG customer service and they would be glad to replace it. Unfortunately, they need a number on the back of our manual... and its already been misplaced. I offered to send them a copy of my receipt or something from the box, but that's a no go. I was really hoping someone could help me out if they have an extra manual lying around. Otherwise I'll have to pay for another one on bricklink. I would be grateful if someone could message me and help us out. Nothing fishy here I just need t…

We found this at a Phila area BJs Wholesale. Not sure if it is a newer product . No idea why Ben doesn't have a beard , Vader is there, and Luke is missing. Still a nice kids shirt for $8

Part one is where you talk about Lego military, part two is where you talk about YOUR military. Pictures are appreciated.

Check this auction out!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/233017/STAR-WARS-BOBA-FETT-ROCKET-FIRING-PROTOTYPE-J-SLOT-AFA-85-NM-ACTION-FIGURE-TOMARTKELLERMAN

How do you all stream live tv? I don't like paying for OTA broadcasts, but I'm too far from any transmission source to get anything other than PBS. Locast seems cool, but it's not in my area. I can put together a hodge podge of services to watch live, but the price essentially mirrors cable or very near it. I'm using https://puffer.stanford.edu/ right now--the Standford University research stream that basically gives you live broadcast tv in exchange for watching your streaming habits. It only really works on my computer and is capped at 500 live users at any time and sometimes you have to wait for a "ticket" to open, but it's 100% free and legal.

Not sure if anyone has seen these before. http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3312894/halloween-treat-horror-icons-get-lego-treatment/

As a former special effects artist and current Lego fan, I appreciate this on many levels. Excellent work! http://www.nerdist.com/2014/07/lego-boba-fett-costume/
