After all this talk about a new Death Star for 2016 I did some research and finally have been able to find some pictures of the new design! The new design is pretty awesome, even though for some people it might be too colorful. The general design isn't that different from the current DS but you'll find some improvements. My verdict: Great new DS design! I also like the new colors! I'm not a big fan of all of the minifigures, but there are plenty so that's nice I guess! I guess with all these minifigures the price point might be at least 500$ I'm not sure if I would recommend holding on to the old one or not... I guess that's a decission everyone must take for himself. https://www.flickr.com/photos/pricey73/sets/72157652349325815

If you have a dog or cat save the droppings and put them in a box and leave that on your porch. Spring loaded or self detonating are good options.

​thats as much as i thought. so poop in the box it is then

​Example: I have 10 sets to list and I want to copy and paste everything so I list them all at once at $500 each and then bulk change them later to individual prices. Example 2 (some people here use this method): I have a 10211 Grand Emporium that I will sell at $600US so I list it at $600US and expect to relist it every 30 days until it sells. The item stays in the search and TRS items stay near the top and occasionally the item sells (and the members are usually kind enough to post because they are a little surprised)

Sold a 10221 for $1200 CAD and have sold around 19 Jurassic World polys the past couple days at $18 CAD each. Not a bad week!

After you contact the local authorities, post that picture on Facebook. You will know who the thief is in no time.

Queen Anne's Revenge Really enjoyed the build. Couldn't believe how big it was. The family loved it.

​I like to reuse the bags to pack sandwiches for the work week. I just put the stickers on my toolbox in the garage. Everything should go in and on the toolbox.

Got some new parts to build myself another minifigure display shelf. Will have to do some re-arranging tonight and put up all the ones I have in random other spots.

I'll just leave this here... First SW Episode 7 Set Leaked

some of my hobbies & interests include skratebords, cool cars, wine country, and dumpster seafood. Im also a big fan of Lego which was founded by Old Kirk Crungerson in 1682. Old Kurt discovered the tiny plastic blocks when digging inside of a mountain. No one knows what happened to him after that but at least we can all agree that he was insane. For your health!

​Make sure to label it "Guaranteed".

Okay, so let's see: pizza, fro yo, a hot tub, and entirely populated by stepford wives? With the ability to destroy planets? Time for me to join the Empire...

​If on a desktop try this. At the "Select how you'll be paid" section, click on "add or remove options". It should be right next to "Select how you'll be paid". That should open a dialog box where you can check several options. The one you're looking for is "Require immediate payment through PayPal when a buyer uses Buy It Now", it is first in my list. Click Save. You should now have an option on your listing template to "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy It Now" Click that box and finish creating your listing. That checkbox may come unchecked if switch back and forth between Auction and BIN. It also may come unchecked if you select Best Offer. Just keep an eye on it.

I think we all just got burned by the prequels so much that there is this inherent fear that the new films will let us down as well. But after that last trailer, I think Abrams was basically putting his hand on the shoulders of Star Wars fans across the world and said, "It's gonna be all right." The Force Awakens may not be awesome, but I think it will at least be earnest, and have the right sensibilities. I'd be shocked if it was actually awful.

​i was going to get a few snaps from the video on a flier and stuff it in the mailboxes around the neigborhood. i dont think posting it publicly is a good idea as i dont want retaliation, never know with hernandez.

Its a little hard to say from the light and the angle but I think Aaron Hernandez escaped from jail and is stalking your neighborhood wearing a hoodie. i like the fully outstretched paw between the railings of your deck. this should become the little picture next to the urban dictionary phrase "5 finger discount". that thumb looks suspiciously like a fifth finger.

The SMART thing to do is give all the evidence and info to the police and let them resolve. That is NOT what I would do at first

built the Kwik-e-mart today, really enjoyed the build and I love all the different colors of bricks it has - this will be a great set for parts should I go that route in a few years with it. Wish they would have sent duplicates of the sticker sheets tho. Build took about 4.5 hours spaced out over the day.

I'd open it. This set is hoarded big time, so when and if the value starts to climb, you will be competing against a bunch of sellers that can offer an undamaged box. Since you basically paid retail for it you don't have any room to undercut the competition either. It's a neat little set. Enjoy!

Craigslist score of a lifetime. Loads of old pirate, including black seas barracuda, looks complete except for sails Loads of black falcon, forest men era castle. Loads of old town sets. Everything is clean and even semi sorted. Nicest lot at the best price so far. No mega blocks, q tips, or used chewing gum.

The latest issue of Blocks magazine is now out. This issue marks the first time that Brickpicker has content in the magazine. A few months ago, they wrote to ask if we would like to submit content to the magazine. Since Ed is all warmed up for writing all the content for the book, he was ready to go to start working on some articles for the magazine. The first article is about the #10179 Falcon. The Blocks team is working hard and doing a great job building this every month so please support the magazine. If you do not have a way to get a hardcopy of the magazine locally, you can buy digital editions as well.

This particular dewback has an unfortunate character trait. I can see why he's for sale.

What you should do is workout a bromance with you UPS man to get something like this: It's fool proof and people won't even know that it is there. All sarcasm aside, I think what has already been said has been the most helpful. Contact the Police. Think of the robber, probably expecting something really expensive, opens it and finds Lego Bricks.

I miss tim and eric

If all else fails, local TV stations love footage like this too. BTW - if I may ask, what kind of neighborhood do you live in? More urban? Suburban?

Welcome to Brickpicker!!

next week on "your neigborhood thief weekly" packages! ... mine! ... oh no, poooop!

Erebor MOC Sorry if this has been posted already, but worth a look if you haven't seen it. Absolutely insane build

​thanks for due diligence. whats a 3.2.10 say? so technically i can call this a "your neigborhood thief weekly" and stuff it in on a sunday?

Me too just tried to check my order status but cannot be ckecked, hope it is only temporary out of services.

​Do you just CL that? I got a mental picture of the guys in Horrible Bosses talking to MoFo Jones trying to set this up.

You guys still aren't using the "Immediate Payment Required" for Buy It Now?

​I don't know what's worse - that someone spent so much time thinking about that or that they actually built it. Good find.

​That actually has a lot of nice design choices. If I had a daughter, I'd buy it for her.

​way below my deductible and once insurance company gets a whiff they will probably increase my rates due to "high-crime" area

​Very solid returns on the SSD, that's a nice chuck of funds. I always chicken out/don't have the patience to hold long enough for sets to hit <$1000

​At a small Toyshop, they only had one of each and a blanket 25% discount on all their stock for today only. Just happened to be walking past on the right day at the right time and decided to pop in Boxes were mint too, they kept them behind the counter.

Police.report. do it sooner than later

And where are those stickers ;)

I downsized my display to this and rotate the series from time to time. I have Series 1 - 6 and both Simpsons right now but not the space for all. I always keep series 1 up at all times tho

​Cool story and very kind of you to try accommodating her request. My 5yr old son was diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) when he was 3...for him, building up his hand strength and fine motor skills was an area besides many that needed improvement - Lego was perfect. Building is fun, he can use his imagination free building and good workout for little fingers! He's hands has gotten a lot stronger with all the modulars we've been building together recently

And totally destroy the resell value according to some people......why would someone apply stickers? Hope they saved the original bags also

I think the guy needs a flying headbutt, I just want to reassure that us Australians aren't all convicts or go into a a princess meltdown when our LEGO doesn't arrive constructed. All the Aussies here come from different states, so there is a good chance that one of us can deliver said flying headbutt

Well, yeah but it's from Ep.1..... yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Most resellers help the brand and TLG. Through their actions they flush excess inventory fastcreate a healthy aftermarkt of used and new product which offers true credibility and value to the producthelp collectorsenable the return from the "Dark Age"offer insightful information about the quality and value of each product soldcreate a vast and liquid market in all corners of the worldpromote the brand strongly through their shopsSome resellers have bad habits. They Squeeze customers out of the market and force prices upClean out product before 'normal' customers have time to reactBuy huge quantities, therefore distort a normal life cycle of a productSee lego as a money-makers, therefore lacking respect for the product's mission statementUndermine the pricing policy of TLG on Exclusives, poduct lines: over / underpricing to the frustration of TLG and its customersOverinvest, creating excess Supply in the future and excerbate the risk of a bubble and boom-bust for TLGSo all in all, if resellers follow a good code of conduct, there shouldn't be a problem. Banning the "bad elements" is only normal. And with time, TLG will control better this indirect supply chain too, therefore flushing out that "tricky" behavious. For me, the net balance of resellers in very positive for TLG. It's only a minority that bothers them I think. regards

You've just broke the first rule of fight club.

Who says a reseller has to sell MISB sets? A reseller of LEGO just means they resell LEGO <uhduh!> and it doesn't specify what kinds of LEGO's they sell. The second part of your post isn't really relevent because he IS a reseller. LEGO just wants to get their products directly to the "end consumer" as they've nicely put it, and that sellers obviously don't make that plan work out so great, so they are forced to be banned from LEGO Shop at Home.

Yesterday I immediately sold all three of my 40079 VW Campers to the same buyer for $15 each, $2.50 total shipping. After fees I'll get $39, so $13 each. I think I shoulda been charging more seeing how many are selling at $20... but, I think I made up for it as I've sold 2 of my 3 Clone Lieutenant's for $20 + $2.50 Shipping each so after fees on those I'll see just under $18 each. So, pending I sell the 3rd the same way, I'll be looking at a total of $31 off each of my three $77 (pre tax) LEGO store purchases. That's 40% off! I'll take that from a LEGO store any day! -PB disclaimer: Yes, yes, I know I drove to the LEGO store using gas and wear and tear, and spent my time buying, listing and mailing and all that other jazz... but does it make me a total LEGO nut to say I enjoy even those parts of it? I can spend 30 min to an hour in the LEGO store just looking over and over at the same sets on the shelf and just somehow enjoy every second of it. Can't really explain why because I hate shopping in general. Anyways, maybe it's just my way of justifying it to myself, but I can't pass up a chance to go to the LEGO store, especially when it means I can get this kind of "deal"!
