Have you ever wondered "What would it be like if Jar Jar were to experience death each day all 365 of them in a single year?" then look no further than this currently ongoing project by Eurobricks member Dr Spock 888 over at his Flickr gallery. Jar Jar having a bad year NOTE: At the time of this posting date, it was on Day 99 so be sure to check back every other day at least once to see the new death of Jar Jar.

I guess the Hot Dog Guys didn't like Burger King stepping his way into their territory. Hotdogs and burgers don't mix.... by BrickTrip

While I would like to continue to be in denial (that my hair might be starting to thin) - My first case of sunburn (on the top of my head) might be telling a different story.

I sold my last Falcon 7965 for $249 shipped. It wasn't the lowest price on eBay and the box had some damage, so who knows why it went within six hours of being listed. I was tempted to keep it, but just around $100 buy in said, "No, the next one coming will be more awesome."

Sold my last 19 Chima Fire Bikes for $55.

I think anyone who's opened a Death Star realizes it can't go in a smaller box.

There is an alternative for the best of both world's - Jurgen's Ultimate 42009... http://rebrickable.com/mocs/jurgen/ultimate-42009 I am in the process of gathering the parts needed. Or, you could go completely bananas : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99748

Here's a very impressive Erebor MOC that was posted on eurobricks: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=107924 He says the dwarf statues are larger than the Death Star 10188.

One could make a case for a pay BrickPicker site. Then again, one could think of many negatives to it as well. The idea of a premium pay portion of the site comes up in conversation constantly, but we don't want to hurt the basic dynamics of the site. As was the case with the NON-LEGO discussions, there comes a point where it can hurt the core user of the site. Many BrickPicker members are not vocal or big time resellers, so why cater to the vocal minority? There is no perfect solution. If you charge people, you might lose some important information from some members who use the site on a limited basis. If you charge, then people will expect more and complain more. That was the idea of the INVESTorSELL.com site. We saw there was an interest in the NON-LEGO products, but it was dominating the discussion board at times and was filled with adult oriented topics. The solution was to create another, less regulated site in which people could divert some of their discussions. Have you joined and contributed? I mean, afterall, we designed it for YOU! LOL

I'd rather collect minifigures than Skylanders. Anyone want to buy my son's Skylander collection?

Great idea, Mr Plow!

All for building with the kids... Used Dino HQ for $120. The latest City snowplow set for my Homer Simpson minifig. Lego Movie Bad Cop car. avengers set with the 2 vehicles (Thor and Hawkeye included) The Superhero set with Grodd and that Batman mech. I will be selling the mech as the set was purchased for everything else.

Successful businesses don't make decisions based on making profit on every single decision they do - they base decisions on maximizing total profit. Cutting losses over sunk costs on a bad-selling set to make way for a better selling set is a strong business decision.

Finished off the Silver Champion 8458 set tonight. Huge star Wars fan but I really like these F1 cars. http://community.brickpicker.com/index.php?/gallery/image/2088-silver-champion-8458/ All three of them.....now need to find a good place for them on the shelf.... http://community.brickpicker.com/index.php?/gallery/image/2089-f1-race-cars/

Started on this today. So far so good...

New Hellraiser and Pinhead theme?

I'm supposed to believe that Lego is going to take a set in the last year of its life and repackage it, but leave the similar-sized and younger PC still in production in the big ol' box, because why exactly? This is more silliness. Toos status I trust as an indicator of retirement, whether in EU or stateside. But a sudden, inexplicable urge to repackage the PS? Give me a break.

Not a complete set of the series but here are 10x10 vignettes for The Simpsons family. (Where is Marge's dress?) Homer by Milan Sekiz Marge by Milan Sekiz Bart by Milan Sekiz Lisa by Milan Sekiz Maggie by Milan Sekiz

I know I've seen this somewhere before, but I can't think where, so I turn to you guys for help. The kids and I have been making sure we've got one complete set of minifigs from each series, for the last year or two. I don't like just displaying them on their stands - that's boring. Instead, I'd rather get them into little dioramas, or habitats. Nothing big - like maybe 8x8 or 10x10. But something just big enough to make a small scene of our minifigure in their natural habitat. So, for example, the Lifeguard might sit on a tall chair, with a sandy beach under him/her. Or the Rock Star might look like he's on stage. The King could be on a thrown, or the Old West Sheriff might be standing in front of a jail. This is basically what I'm thinking of: I know I've seen something set up at Legoland California before. Anything that I could find, especially with inspiration, would be great.

Me too.. I just ordered the hook ( which is pricy) and the last few remaining pieces I need. I'm also doing the Ulitmate excavator, and the lowboy trailer to haul these beasts.. I'm excited, wish I could say the same about my wallet. lol

Amazon wrapped my Sea Cow in enough bubble wrap to survive a fall from the top of the Tower Bridge. Someone clearly got the memo.

When I ordered a bunch of items over a year ago they never used UPS or Fedex. Hopefully that hasn't changed because I just ordered something.

My kid will make shredded cheese out of that portal.

I did the same! Looks really cool!

:-) only big ticket sets, zero feedback, doesn't take PayPal... wadda ya think? :-)

Some people are asked by the waitress how many bottles they want and they answer 23. But for me, the hair gods asked me what age I wanted my hair to thin, I answered 102, but they decided on 23.

This was 105 GBP (110 shipped) on amazon.UK last night, so it may come down again.

You can but it's still a bit too high for me, and you have to consider that it will probably stay available for one more year.

That's tough for Jar Jar, but fair. He ruined an otherwise solidly mediocre movie.

Those are 40081 and 40115. and photo frame 850751.

That's the Ferris Wheel set from back in 2007. I would imagine and hope after eight years the new one will be significantly better than that. Quacs bested me by a minute. Timing is everything. Ha.

Hit or miss with Amazon UK - loved flipping Technic sets last year with exciter (42000) - some came squished, some didn't. Never had any crazy damage like ripped boxes or bad seals yet. Sometimes if I get a really bent box or a popped seal, I just open it and build the thing.

I really enjoyed the UCS Y-Wing. That's a fun set to build - enjoy.

I ordered one for myself, missed out last time they were available.

Jek-14 and Tumbler chase has been hard to find in Alberta... wish more will come up

If one had to pay for brickpicker we wouldn't be in said situation.

6.5 lbs lot of Bionicle/Hero Factory for $52+ shipping. Looked like some complete items in there but I have no time or want to go through it. These were all picked from lots of Lego I bought over the years. I'm pretty sure the buyer go a good deal. Here is a pic.

I built the last of Mixels Series 2 with the Flexers and rather quick too I might add. Amazing how fast the momentum seems to go after building for a few days. I forgot my hands could actually move that quick. Heh. Moving forward, I find myself enjoying the line more than the last with each passing tribe by the build and this last crew was very interesting in many aspects. Between Kraw, Tentro, and Balk, I honestly cannot pick one as a favorite out of the group. I thoroughly enjoyed building each critter, found their appearance delightfully quirky & fun, and the palette of colors was perfect. Tentro is basically a large squid which I think is neat, Kraw is like a large crab with a big mouth, and Balk ....I'm not really sure what he is but I like it. Ha. Speaking of Balk, the ball caps do work as eyelids although there is that bill sticking out the front but I can't really think of a more appropriate part unless they had the new Pirates bandana in orange perhaps. Funny thought on the side is when you look as these Flexers, you realize more or less they are, um, tentacle monsters. ....Well I bet these guys were really popular in Japan. (If I have to explain that joke, consider yourself lucky and do not Google the material.) Anyway in the end altogether I have been joyfully impressed with the parts assortment, choice of colors, character design, and build techniques used in these Mixels and as of this moment I feel like Series 2 has been a step up from the first. I imagine I shall feel the same with Series 3 and beyond. Man I love these little freaks. BRING ON SERIES 3!

Ed, you're going to drive people crazy with that post... For meowsmeowsmeows: R2 sold out in Europe the night before going to Toos status in the US. But as you point out with regard to SSD, it can happen the other way around as well. I check LEGO Shop at Home (non-US countries) pretty regularly to see if something funky is happening in other regions, so I don't get blindsided by an unexpected retirement.

What if LEGO is just messing with the resellers and they have these in warehouses, yet choose to hold onto them? A little delayed retirement here, a little delay there. Flippers will flip their lids.

All my packages arrived today. Was at Florida Legoland last week. If anyone doens't know, you can buy LEGO and ask them ship to your home from the LEGOLAND. for over $500, they only charge 5%.

Wow, now that is a " Cedar Point" type of Ferris Wheel set. Might as well add the Millennium Force to the list of next Lego Amusement Park builds.....

Totally agree with you. Should I get a few dozenof hotdog men for investment purpose...hmmm

I know precisely what you are talking about and have come across plenty of these little minifigure vignettes. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cecilihf/sets/72157624440241953/ LEGO Collectible minifig modular display by cecilihf
