I pulled the trigger on an eBay listing for 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle that was up for ~£119 inc. delivery. No figures or instructions visible, but as it happens I snagged a set of instructions cheaply (~£28) a couple of years ago just in case such a listing appeared. One of the pics was also detailed enough to tell that it was proper Lego and not bogus bricks. It just arrived, and looks like I lucked out here. No sign of discoloration, stickers all seem to be here, and there was even the Luke figure (albeit with the wrong hair). I have the correct hair piece, as well as the correct stormtroop

Finally picked up a Lego 21104 Cuusoo Curiosity Rover. Opened it up and getting ready to build it. Waited far too long to buy one. Finding a new one under $300 is HARD. This one is part of the 48S3 batch (48th week of 2013).

I’m just going to assume we all agree with that wall of text and say I too am disappointed it Lego.

I grew up in Orlando. Space Shuttle was part of our culture. I watched Challenger blow up with my naked eye standing in the outdoor field of my school yard when I was in middle school. We would watch launches on TV and then seconds after the shuttle clears the top of the tower we would run outside and watch it go up with the naked eye. It was a great time for space travel. I also have a good family friend that is an air traffic controller at the Kennedy landing facility. One time (pre-9/11) the 747 was there after dropping off the shuttle. My friend called me up and asked if my wife and I want

I checked the Adam and Eve website and didn't see it anywhere. Placed an order anyways

The 3-in-1 pirate ship wasn't interesting enough for him, and Barracuda bay didn't look like a pirate ship... so he dug into the closet and decided we are building "houses" now. I haven't built anything in my backlog a couple years. Now I walk into the house after work and I'm told that I need to build things. Next he picked out the "grocery store"

Went to go see the Horseshoe Crab spawning.

$3 thrift store find, new with seals. Fun!

Visited the Hoover Dam!

Could you please be careful with my technology?

Ulysses with plush Yoda and plush Grogu for extra cushioning! May the Force be with me.

The most amazing part about this is that you actually have LEGO buddies in real-life and not just on a computer screen.

If you look at all the Disney SW movies, Rogue One is the only one that didn't break the SW universe or insult us like the other movies did. It did fan service but it was cleverly woven into the story line. The DV scene can be written off, but it shows us a glimpse of a younger DV who was truly scary. (Of course, we got the good side version in Mandalorian, Season 2 finale with Luke). In a New Hope all we see Vader do is pick a guy up by his neck and throw him against a wall, force choke a commanding officer to prove a point, and fly the meanest Tie fighter (although we only see it fl

Maybe also appropriate for the Walmart Clearance thread, I've been tooling around to various local Walmart stores picking up clearance Hart tools. They are revamping the line for the year bringing in new twice-the-price brushless tools, so I'm finding a little here and a little there marked way down. Initially I just wanted a little inflator and a car washer. But I just kept finding good deals. Even the steel shelving unit was just $21. Now if only I could afford to buy any lumber right now.

Hopefully I can complete the LOTR collection at a reasonable cost as these have shot up in value in recent years. So far, I was able to score these this month locally. I paid $60 Canadian each for 9470 and 9471 and $15 Canadian for the 79005. In USD, that's 73 cents all together.

Yea a set that was available for 8 minutes will certainly lose value. Especially once the initial wave sells and it's extremely rare. No one wants that. 🙄

Huw cries a lot for someone who receives hundreds of free, much more expensive, sets directly from Lego for running a Lego website. The Lego website crashing is all part of the charm

The satisfaction of knowing you completed your civic duty

The time to go full balls out is when your busy shoving in your Dickens

There has been no recent change in the retirement date for this set. It has been scheduled for the end of this year since well before the Cara Dune actress got fired.

not sure if anyone else struggles with finding the vip redemption code in their email box. had no idea that i could find it in my vip account here. jeez. i'm probably the last to know, but if not, here are the steps: lego Reward Center > scroll down to Your History > Rewards Redeemed > you'll find your voucher code under the reward to copy

This turns out to be the case. First real pictures are showing up on ‘Marktplaats’ (Dutch Ebay 😉). It’s a bit disappointing, but there still seems to be a lot of interest.. I’m receiving mine tomorrow. After seeing this pictures my decision to sell is going to be easier.

YES

I’ll start the May the 4th Be With You 2021 thread. Rumor has it Amazon will discount the Razor Crest. https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-day-deals?fbclid=IwAR1ganuOiWl72E4cAQtZQpdLcy_GexqT8-TL46l1GpLHgDm9BWYfYwHbJp4

Saw this on reddit, got a kick out of it. Lego figs seem to grow up quickly

Bought three 77907 Mario Sets when the SDCC craze hit last year. Then they stayed in stock at Target for a while so I was kinda bummed... Forgot about them. Then looked 3 days ago what they were selling for 😱! Sold one for $90 today

One of my errors said Cookie Too Large. I was eating Oreos at the time, so don't know what they're talking about.

I just received my space coin yesterday and as I am looking at this coin through this thin wrapping paper, I have come to this sudden realization that these VIP coins are really ugly.

Remember the good ol' days when a Brickset link didn't fill up 3/4 of your screen with ads and rubbish? Those were good times.

just wanted to throw this back up and thanks again to EXRACER327. As far as a great conservative place to park $ and get a solid return...I tried it and got basically 7.8% annual yield in monthly installments looking back at the last 4 months. The stock itself happen to have went up by like 20 cents but that's not the reason to buy..just gravy. I know many here would scoff at such laughable gains...but my investment strategy is hyper conservative and compared to bank savings giving 0.1% interest or less and 5 year CDs offering a feeble 1-2%...CIK feels like a gold mine to me.

Cool. About time Medieval Times got their own set.

I've dumped all my THs...that's too much money to have tied up for as long as it is going to be tied up. It may skyrocket after retirement, but you're looking at 2023 before it will ripe to sell. I learned my lesson on that front with the original Death Star #10188...held on to those suckers for way too long.

All you cowards ordering the Ulysses with small sets to protect it. I went full balls out and had mine shoved in with two modulars taking advantage of the double VIP and 10% back from RetailMeNot. Survived without any issues.

I am standing by, waiting to trade for your Tatooine's (as many as you want)

OrcKing - thanks for constantly sharing fun MOCs & minifig creations like this. Nothing quite conveys the joy of LEGO like this kind of stuff, and I appreciate the work you put in to these threads!

This makes me want to have a beer and watch Blazing Saddles tonight

Getting blocked on Facebook by a seller claiming to have a RARE MIS PRINT Lego 'DARK VADOR' Helmet when I point out that no, it's not a misprint, that's just how it is in French.

Cool, that adds another $100 to the value of this promo

So when the first space shuttle launched on April 12, 1981 I was in Florida on vacation, and we pulled over got out of the car went to the beach and watched it take off. It was amazing. Star Wars was just a few years earlier. Star Trek the Movie. I kept up with them building the shuttle. Buck Rogers TV Show using as a deep space orbiter what looked like a shuttle. It was an amazing time to be a kid and dream of our future. Yes any model of the Shuttle means that much to me. Its a symbol for all of that and the USA. Lego space sets bring all that back to mind. That includes

Look at this one:
