Odds & Ends

Hehe I just sold lego to Denmark. I knew it is just another set sold, but somehow this one is special for me. My old set is going home. I hope it will arrive safely. Keep yours fingers crossed for me guy's.

I am selling a Lego 7898 train set on e-bay. I was asked if I would ship to China from an e- bay member with 24 transactions and 100% feedback. I would only go thru e-bay channels to avoid fraud. Does anyone know If it's worth the time and effort

Go check this out guys, a member here LowestformofWit has been featured on the BrothersBrick blog. He's doing something called Friday Night Fights over there with his MOC mech. Here's the link, post a comment supporting this fellow Brickpicker win the fight! He has the Seneschal! http://www.brothers-brick.com/2013/06/14/friday-night-fights-round-9/#comments Good job man!

Did you make a LEGO-themed Halloween costume, or see any great ones this year? I'd love to see what everyone else created! I had a great time creating both a Unikitty and a Benny the spaceman costume for Halloween this year! I got to wear my Benny costume at work and a party at our house that evening. LEGO Movie Unikitty and Benny costumes. My colleagues wearing LEGO Movie costumes at work. Sincerely, ---tom

First of let me apoligize for the rhyme. Ok, so I was looking at the 2010 set 10213 and 2011 set 10231 on Brickset, and can only find about four or five tiny differences between them. Does anyone know why Lego re-released it in 2011 with those almost imperceptable changes?

Has anyone ever heard if sideshow collectibles? Some friends of mine who also invest in Lego were showing me these amazingly detailed statues and how they have a ridiculous return on them once sold out http://m.ebay.com/search?kw=Sideshow+darth+talon&isNewKw=1&so=12&pgn=1&epp=24&fads=1&mfs=GOCLK&acimp=0 This was a 290$ piece back a year ago and only 300

So I was interested in buying a wookie, and I saw this http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-Star-Wars-CHEWBACCA-Wookie-NEW-2012-Minifigure-from-set-9516-Jabbas-Palace-/110920088363?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item19d35a3b2b My question is, is there a black blank head underneath the wookie's head? Or is the wookie head thingy one piece? Thanks Edit: Found out, thanks!

I pretty consistently seem to see some Lego deals on slickdeals that make me laugh... Here's another: http://slickdeals.net/f/6916482-lego-city-great-vehicles-camper-van-building-set-60057-for-15-99-it-s-back?src=pdw This deal is getting love somehow over there. Don't get it. SD has seemingly become a place where the force feed deals to pad their pockets. I don't know how many people remember what it was like 6 or 7 years ago... but it has definitely changed.

Anybody here often catch saying to themselves "ahhhhh I'm not going to make THAT much profit off this set anyways so let's open it and build it for myself!" ....Because I'm starting to think this way a LOT.. >_>

I need 20 more shipping boxes for the rest of my SSD, so the Best Box to get is 24"X8"X20" Its a perfect box, Now Uline has then 20 to a bundle for $51.80 plus $20.58 shipping so thats $72.38. And then we have Staples.com same box 24"X8"X20" 20 to a bundle $52.78 and the key is "FREE SHIPPING" So Staples it is, be sure and sign up for an a account and they are always sending codes and coupons. So Lets get these babies boxed up. Ed

You ever have one of those situations where you know you have a few of a certain set, are pretty sure you did not sell them yet, but just can't find them? Just found my Combine Harvesters (7636). For some reason I was thinking the box was green, so the blue blended in with another set in a stack in the garage and I just never thought it was them. Now I know where they are. Woot! Happened a couple of months ago too when I found I didn't sell all my Venators (8039). That's always nice to open a box and expect to see a different set and instead it's Venators. Happen to anyone else? An unexpected surprise finding a set or two that you didn't know you still h…

I have to say I just might do it! I have a busy social calender this weekend but I may make the time and drag my GF to see it. I hardly ever go the movie theatres anymore and almost never to an opening night or weekend. I tend to wait a few weeks for the crowds to die down for the movies I really want to see. But I do intend to see this movie on the big screen! *Sorry, maybe wrong forum....

I doubt most of you read through the introductions on the forums, but in mine I talked about how my wife and I run a children's retail store and how it allows me easy intake of toys, etc. on a semi-routine basis... it's amazing the stuff that people completely disregard because they are considered just "toys". Well, today was one of those random days and this is what I managed to take out of the store today... Not all LEGO but still, a decent haul today. Now just have to figure out what I'm doing with all this stuff.

I get enough of this crap from my wife, lego!

I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this SodaStream stuff like I recently have. I have been curious about it for a while and then finally gave the whole thing a go.

I was just able to help an older gentlemen with his truck at work today. He was very happy and gave me this token before he left. Makes my crappy day better and puts things in perspective. Thanks veterans!

Here's a change after my rant at Ebay on Saturday. I just sold this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291031427810?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1559.l2649#ht_884wt_1328 The buyer decided he did not pay enough for it so he has given me an extra

Check out some of these fun LEGO T-Shirts!! Click the pictures to see them on the shirts. They have probably 50+ different designs <----- I might buy this one for Ed Here is a whole page of them....

I didn't have a clue where to put this, but it made me laugh http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/2395039-to-be-MAD-about-bloody-Lego-Friends-airport-where-the-pilot-is-a-MAN

A board game called Boxers or Briefs. Game was clearanced out of most Walmarts in 2011 but still is around. The game will cost no more than $8. It seems only 1-10 Walmarts still have the game left, so don't get your hopes up. If you live in Maine or NH don't bother wasting your time. I bought them. This past Christmas sales ran $35-$60 per sealed copy. Right now you would probably only get $15-$20. Christmas 2011 sealed copies were selling for $25 - $30. It is an easy $50 for 2013 Christmas.

I know on the surface this may not seem LEGO related but this newly announced system which will no doubt include LEGO games. I also know that a lot of AFOLs are also gamers so this might be interesting to some of y'all. So who is gonna buy one as soon one as soon as it becomes available this holiday season? I think my hand might be raised! Here is the link for the latest PS4 info

Not sure if this is allowed here, but I entered a video to win a trip to the Sochi Olympics and was wondering if I could get you guys to vote for my video?
