Merry Christmas! So….what did you all get for Christmas, LEGO-wise? Not investment, but just fun stuff to build? Here’s my haul:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/city-of-edmonton-wins-international-award-for-lego-videos-1.2736551 Not cutting edge for the LEGO and MOC world but interesting enough for a mainstream project. Don't mind my tax dollars going toward something like this ;)

Anyone here play this? Maybe there would be enough to get a BP clan.

reading the student newspaper at Immaculata University and came across this story today. A Professor had students create physical representations of what each believed to be their own personal legend. ya I copied most of that sentence Sounds like a cool class.

Did anyone else make rankings for the classic space dudes? For example: Black: Marshall Blue: Some commissioned officer Yellow: MPs Red: 1st class private White: 2nd class private Then when the fancy guys came out...well you get my drift.

It was reported Casey Kasem had died just yesterday morning at St. Anthony's Hospital in Gig Harbor, Washington. For many of us, he will be best remembered as the voice of Shaggy Rogers from Scooby-Doo or Cliffjumper on the original Transformers cartoon. For the final years of his life, he was suffering from Lewy body dementia causing him inability to speak among other terrible symptons. May his spirit find peace.

Does anyone know of a seller / website that sells clear lego display stands, similar to the ones used to display sets at the 2013 NY Toy Fair? Thanks

Anybody here also a fan of that tv show? Watched it last night...had couple guys with huge inventory of comics and transformers toys that were just 'addicted' or very passionate about their collection. Both over valued their collection and didn't want to sell anything. Would be cool to see a Lego collector on this show...

So I came across this heart felt story. Colorado Springs teen barters rare Lego for set of wheels started with a Lego, ended with a truck for himself and ambulance for charity I hope my girls do something cool like this some day. Also what is this rare purple brick that I must have.

What a load of BS. Now I have to change internet provider as I never want to touch comcast with a ten feet pole. I do not know anyone who has Comcast and not complain about it. I should have filled those petitions for Google Fiber http://money.cnn.com/2014/02/13/technology/comcast-time-warner-cable-deal/

The Brick Fan is reporting that the recording of the Marvel Super Heroes Panel at the 2013 Comic Con is finally available! http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid16681868001?bckey=AQ~~,AAAAAAr7e30~,vihvuRVBQpNFbdXq-mJPiy5bq6kzgKag&bctid=2714796405001 (Apparently you can see the back of Tormentalous' (Allen Tran) head and phone in the video. Cool...?)

I started a website/blog called "The Lego Investor". If anyone is interested, please check it out. Just started Thursday, so I only have a few articles up. http://thelegoinvestor.wordpress.com

They did it you guys, Chima CHI Battles is now "call for product availability"!! http://shop.lego.com/en-US/CHI-Battles-70113 Only took giving away a few million of them, but looks like retirement gold is coming soon!!!!!!!

Just want to put a quick congrats out to TheOrcKing for obtaining more than 100,000 Brickpoints. He has put in a ton of hard work gather thousands of data bits for the Brickpicker price guide as well as submitting reviews, blog articles, etc. Will he cash in his points and get a Tower of Orthanc?

I just read a post that in about three weeks from the start of this thread that The Brick Fan website will be one year old! End of 2012 updates at The Brick Fan Allow me to be the first to say congratulations on reaching your first milestone, and I look forward to reading all of your news posts in the future like I have before. Well earned respect to our very own, "Tormentalous"!

I'm a huge Lego collector but I have a few Duplo blocks as well, plus some huge Megablok Maxi size that my wife bought. I can connect Lego above or below Duplo, which is great -- especially for building huge structures. I can snap Megablok Maxi above my Lego or Duplo, but I'd like to snap them below. The height/width dimensions line up, but the huge rounded pegs above Megabloks won't be accepted by Duplo above. Does anyone know of Lego or Duplo pieces that will accept Megabloks below? I had success with the Duplo Thomas Trains lid/building-piece... it accepts Megabloks. Any similar pieces would be helpful.

The World Cup excitement is growing so let's have a contest to predict the final 2 teams and winner! I will send the winner of this contest a 75021 Republic Gunship!!! To enter, post in this thread with the following: 1. The winning country 2. The runner up 3. Final score of the final match (tie breaker) 4. Pick the matchup of the third place game (last tie breaker) Example: 1. Iran 2. Nigeria 3. 5-4 4. Russia versus Algeria I'll paste everyone's answer in here in the first post as I get time. You'll be required to send me your name and address if you win but I'll keep it private. The final game is Sunday, July 13. …

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

Just noticed this: http://thebrickcollectors.com/ I am not affiliated with them in any way, just think their two PDF magazines are very creative and well-done with some activities for kids.

This set is great, Toys R Us wants $129.99, Amazon $124.99, I paid $103.00 at Toys R Us 25% Off sale, so they will be going back. Costco is 2 miles up the road, so i will be loading up on these. http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/generations-titan-metroplex-coming-soon-to-a-costco-near-you-for-7999/28391/

Surprised, but not surprised that in 2019, that Wally and Lego let this happen...

Okay, so by "crafty" I'm not referring to those awesomely creative MOC-ers, nor those sneaky yet soulless resellers who like to take candy away from babies (kidding...) I'm referring to this! And this! How lucky those kids are to have such a crafty mom. Makes me want to break out the old crochet needles and start crafting up some brick-shaped granny squares.

My brother sent me this link in his local Craiglist universe: http://allentown.craigslist.org/wan/3700050483.html I'm sure there are a few people here that can appreciate an ad like this. Maybe I should set up my own post if this actually works... In my own local Craigslist universe: http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/tag/3701222921.html It looks like there are some Lego in there and a lot of assorted weirdness. Feel free to ad your own Craiglist listings that make a person do a double take.
