What do you think about a Cruise Ship with Cruise Terminal set? I think that would complete the look with the Harbor. Any thoughts?

Does anybody insure their Lego collection? And if you do, with what Insurance Company and what does it cost?

What is everyone's favorite theme? Personally mine is city/town including trains. I also love many other themes, what about you all?

Greetings all, I have been looking for a while online for a value of a limited edition original MIB Star Wars UCS Star Destroyer (#10030) that came with the UCS Tantive IV Blockade Runner (#10198). It was purchased at a Star Wars Exhibition in Sydney, Australia. It is in the original brown cardboard box from LEGO. Can anyone be of assistance?

I just went online and did a double take...anyone else seeing this? I know consumers get shafted with increased prices due to tariffs but this is taking it to the max here....

This summer, I decided to light up my LEGO 10350 Tudor Corner using the Bright My Bricks lighting kit, and the results are stunning. My wife, always supportive of my LEGO obsession, gifted me this kit to enhance this set that I love. Bright My Bricks offers two generations of kits, featuring ultra-thin, flexible, and discreet wires that fit perfectly under the bricks of the Tudor Corner. The online instructions are top-notch—clear and detailed—which made installation easy even with such a detailed building. I was able to light up all the windows, street lamps, and signs, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, ideal for enjoying those long summer evenings. …

I was wondering what the average value of this set would be given its condition it’s missing the u joints, gear racks and differential carrier pieces but is other wise complete, a handful of the bags are still sealed, the box itself is in good shape with the organizers but has some peeling and tape on it

Yasss! Hoping the use of “Theme” implies more than one set, but I’d be happy with a one-off Krusty Burger.

Figured I should sell one of my Cloud City Fetts. The fig does a one cracked arm. If you were selling the fig, what would you try to get for it? Cheapest used one on bricklink is 1k with both arms cracked. Any help or opinions would be appreciated.

I recently turned a major page in my LEGO journey -- I'm finally building sets! However, I'm now buying two of each set to keep one in the box and build the other. Like a wise BP'er once said, "I have a price". I too have a price and a lot of times it gets me into trouble because I'll buy and sell a set multiple times only for it to retire and not have a copy on hand then have to go to market and buy one from you scumbags for God knows how much ; ) Over the years I've seen used sets (with the box & instructions) sell for only 20% less than my sealed sets. It irked me a bit. I realized I would be more than willing to take 20% less in order to get the enjoyment of …

My daughter and I went to a local Toy and Lego show here in *** recently and scored a free vintage Star Wars Lego set from a celebrity actor! His name is Serge Duque and he showed up at the show here in *** and gave away a lot of collectibles to a number of attendees at the show!!. We researched his name and he has an IMDB page with current pictures for reference. If anyone sees this guy around at one of these shows, you may get lucky and score big like we did 🤫 Please come back here on this thread if you have any appearance info he may show up at next. We will post a pic of the Lego he gave us shortly. For reference to what he looks like google: IMDB Sergio …

Just as a heads up, Aldi truck and store are not Lego Bricks! Confirmed by a long time brickpicker. Sent from my SM-G781U1 using Tapatalk

Just thought I would share this about Zulily shutting down. While not my favorite, less choice and competition for buying Lego is always not great and a sad sign of the times. https://www.zulily.com/password

Just wondering what sets to buy.

I have a guy trying to sell me a butt ton of cmf minifig cases(all boxes opened/sealed cmf bags) and a few of the CMF displays(120 figs in each). My main question, whats a good percentage and what should I use to get a baseline(ebay or bricklink)? Nothing super old or rare Ninjago movie, Series 16, Fantastic beasts, Disney series 1. Ideally these would not been searched through but you never know and I dont want to sit and squish a dozen or so cases. Thoughts?

https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-preiserhoehung-september-2022/ Looks like adult oriented sets are going to be hit the hardest. If a set is hit by a price increase, you can be fairly sure it's not going to retire. More than half of the sets not set to have price increases, are retiring at the end of the year. Like every other company, they got used to those "record profits" year after year, and don't want to give ground due to rising costs on their end.

Hello. As the title says I am looking for the WiiU version of LEGO Jurassic World w/ Dr. Wu mini toy bundle. The pack was sold at Target stores in the US. https://ibb.co/6vmMNhF

Some of us may already know where the second half of this brief documentary goes.

I have a question for the pros here. For the sets that amazon "zombies" or continues to sell for a year or 2 past retirement, are the seal codes still pre retirement? Basically, I am trying to figure out if lego makes one monster batch before retirement for amazon, or do they keep the molds and continuously produce and restock them for amazon over the course of post retirement period. For example if I bought this guy here, would it have 2023 codes on it? IT potentially can affect a buying decision.....

Hello everyone, I am writing to you asking if you are able to give me information about this Lego set? it was not listed on bricklink and unfortunately I have little informationabout it. what could its value be? thank you in advance for the information provided

This is NOT a complaint. Lord knows I have benefited financially as a result of the info available on this site. Remember when this site included a Lego lot calculator? I used the hell out of that thing. Copy and paste set numbers in, choose new or used, and press go! It was awesome. Anything like it available?
