After watching reviews of the upcoming "76028 - Darkseid Invasion" and "76026 - Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas" sets, I feel much better about our 6862 set. I'm actually glad I kept all of mine instead of unloading them for nearly retail price. In the Darkseid set, it does have classic Superman but w/o the famous heat vision eyes (yeah, some might say this is a minor detail). Although I do like the new flexible fabric capes introduced in the 2015 capes. In the Grodd set, I'm not digging the sword swinging Wonder Woman. The silver (instead of gold) accents are "ok". The mini fig also doesn't have the blue white star bottom that Linda Carter made famous in the 1970s. All in all 6862 still has a chance to make those who invested in this set happy especially since we don't have a 2015 Lex refresh yet.

Not any MOCs, but I do like to incorporate other cold/ice/winter elements into my Winter Village. You can view the rest of the album here: http://smg.photobucket.com/user/jive1/slideshow/Lego%20Winter%20Village

Here is a new City polybag I just found something for.

I had to post a whole topic for this new find because, well, look at this big ass b***h of a LEGO! (Click on images to enlarge.)

I would like to thank all the great members here who are always lending a helping hand and giving good advice to those who are just beginning.

What's old is new and new is old and is dead before it's even born.

Too many alternate versions (two "3 in 1" sets), and the main model of the bike shop can be opened. And the pictures I saw have some different angles. Although here is a picture, I hope it's accurate enough, to show the difference in size between these two sets: Bigger picture: '> Models are "mirrored" because the angle of view might give a bad idea of the ratio. Note: this time I did not use the studs to compare sets, like I did with the Parisian restaurant (32 studs) and the 31026 (16 studs), but the hight of the buildings (19 bricks + 1 stud for the 31026 and 20 bricks for the 31036)

Sorry, I already filled out the results Name a city with a famous or iconic landmark. Top answer - Paris (22/52), New York (14) BP answers - Paris (5), Washington (4, the only 4 out of 52), Pisa, London, San Francisco, New York, St. Louis Besides your phone, name something that you can

Jameson and Christmas eve. Home alone and a Christmas vacation and bad Santa. The three best Christmas movies Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app

I love this forum. I mentioned the other day that I had missed out on the B-Wing @ $25 sale. Someone here on the board (I'm not naming names) stepped up and told me they'd be glad to sell me the one they picked up at their cost. I declined the offer - they got the deal, I didn't, and I've already got a ton to build. But I love that there are awesome people here that do stuff for one another like that.

Not sure how many they'll have but R2 is back in stock at Argos for home delivery. I have enough so time to let someone else have them!

What is going on? If the set that everyone's talking about isn't the DO, then it's in the wrong thread and the mods should fix that.

Sold out in Europe

Not lego but the wife threw down a serious thomas build this morning!

AT-AT. But I am biased as my wife just got it for me for Christmas. Well either her or this site since the tag said "From Brickpicker"

Got my brother the ecto-1, and my nephew Lego movie super cycle chase after he couldn't put down my Lego movie mini figures during Thanksgiving. Oh and my awesome girlfriend spoiled me with these:

Seeing as it is the period of goodwill, I thought it would be a good time and place to open up a thank you thread for 2014 in order that members may show their gratitude to whoever they feel they owe it to. I will start by saying thanks to this site

I'm really not a fan of this one... Colors are a little sad, I don't know... and I miss the eyes of the vulture. The split function (plane/base) is ok though. My favorite set (in picture) in this new wave still is the 70224 Tiger

Merry Christmas Brickpickers! xmas ebay buying has begun - sold a tie fighter - x-wing - ywing 9492 9493 9495 combo with creased dented boxes for $250 bin free shipping.

I am rather new to selling on Ebay. I have a question. I sold a used set that my boys put together (they are extremely careful and this is their little business: putting used sets back together and selling them) and I double checked all their work. We sent off a 100% complete set that arrived on Dec 14th and today (yes on Christmas day) this person sends me a note telling me the Fire Lord character is missing the red ball that goes in his left hand. I am 100% sure it was sent in a sealed ziploc bag with the rest of the set. This ebayer has given me a very long explanation, which includes a reference to how disappointed his/her boy is not to have this important piece, etc (people who lie always turn things into a long story with people's emotions getting hurt when a short informational note would suffice). What are my options?

I agree on the statements from lego. I am done investing in superhero and friends sets, outside of the big exclusives. Too many remakes or variants of the same thing. It reminds menof the 90's comic bubble bust. When a company attempts to create rarity by manufacture the end is nigh. How many versions of batman can there really be. Investors must adjust/adapt or die. I also will not invest in any star wars ucs remakes. I am sure others will disagree, but I will stay away. Too much risk in an illiquid asset.

Here are two video reviews for the 70818 Double-Decker Couch. Choose your destiny.... Jangbricks just2good Oh, and another for 70817 Batman & Super Angry Kitty Attack.

Thanks Binuo, Maybe the alternative builds are better? I mean... better to combine with the bike shop & cafe? These are really buildings to put in a suburbian area. Do not combine nicely with the modulars I am affraid.

What LEGO under my tree this year? ....Nothing. I never put the darn tree up! :pardon:

I find it a little weird that stores would begin sales on December 25th at midnight. Come on, no one should be in front of a screen watching for sales on that day...

I have been buying these up over the last 6 months and everytime I show a friend of mine in the 30-40 age range, they are blown away that this exists. I know we all talk about how many of this set has been made but there are still thousands if not millions of people that don't follow Lego and will be kicking themselves years down the road.

All I can say is that BPers are sick minded . Seeing that EX1 was one of the participants i am not surprised .

lol, I looked up the new and classic anniversary gifts and can't find this one anywhere...maybe I'm not looking far enough down the line...75th anniversary perhaps? Silver....Gold...The Clap

couldn't help myself...just bought another dozen of these.

Die Hard. One of my all time favorites. It was the year I got a hi fi vas, 27" tv and surround sound in my bedroom. You remember the scene at the top of the building when it explodes and with surround sound you can hear the fire hose go across your surround sound and hear Bruce Willis's feet banging on the glass on the side of the building. I brought my wife who i was dating at the time in and showed her that scene and said what do you think isn't that awesome. She looked at me and said what was it that is awesome? I said the surround sound, the explosion, the dynamic sound and movement in the room. She looked at me and I said lets go eat dinner. I plan to watch Die Hard now tonight because of you - thank you.

so much loathing on xmas eve lol Chevy Chase is a lucky guy. No BP dislike mentioned so far

You guys are just upset at Will for being Lord Business.... hahaha I love most of Tim's work and most of Will's. Merry Christmas to all! Exciter if it was April 1st I would say the barge came in for me on R2's but alas none today.

I thought the new Toy Shop 31036 was $79, ten less then the bike shop, I know I read that somewhere on here. I saw it at target today for $39 it is half the size and less detailed. Not impressed.

I probably have the same level of loathing for Tim Allen that hxckid has for Will Ferrell.

I love it when my kids color and they look like this kid. My son is currently making a card with this face for Santa and my daughter is getting the cookies, carrots, milk etc ready for him and his reindeer. http://imgur.com/8KABowa

I'm an "Elf" fan too.

My GF is obsessed with Elf.

My previous complaint about Fed-Ex not delivering my package is no longer valid - luckily today Fed-Ex arrived with my lost Research Institute. It sounds like the good will of a stranger out in the world who had my package left with them by mistake in a city 3 hours away from me and they must have returned it to Fed-Ex and today here it is. Made my day.

Thanks a lot for the November update

Awesome. Please list set names if possible.

Time to go watch Christmas Vacation and hear Randy Quaid say good morning .............. While emptying his sewage. This is the first movie I took my wife to for our first date and she married me anyways.

Now the wolf comes out of his sheep disguise. Guys!!! Ravenb99 is a bloody reseller! We are on to you now Raven. Us poor lego collecting enthusiasts will have to live without this legendary set. Bad karma to you Raven!

You're in the right place to be complaining. It took me 15 years to eat at BK again after I quit. I could go for a Big Mac right now.

Sounds like you better get out of the game. Since you're getting out, why do you just hand over the Carousel. /* attempts Jedi mind trick

German site Promobricks.de posted the first leaked photos for the new Series They say the sources is the 2015 LEGO Catalog. Honestly, I have to say - I don't see a miss in here at all. On first glance, and for the first time, I think I really like all of these figures.

Fire Starter Set (60088) may be limited edition or at least a name change. I don't see many parents buying their kid a Fire Starter Set. Does it come with matches?
