  5. A Eurobricks member spotted at the back of the new City Square set's instruction manual an image for a possible future video game without much to go on aside from the "EXPLORE. DISCOVER. CREATE." top caption and an image reminiscent of the classic PC LEGO titles. Let's see, a sprawling digital realm where you can build and create without limitation to your hearts content. ....So basically it's Minecraft but with LEGO bricks. Source: Brickset

  6. The most stupid Ideas set ever... I cannot understand who can vote for such set, if there is a lot of perfect custom sets made by fans... The Ideas is the only one opportunity to have lego sets which AFOLs are dreaming on, and we waste this opportunity by such simply set, which can everybody build from standard bricks. The Ideas is perfect opportunity to make licenced things, which dont have their own serie within standard lego sets, as Ghostbusters. There is a lot of perfect movies and characters, which could be great as lego sets, and which dont have chance to be a standard set. I cannot understand why people vote for Birds, Labyrinth, etc, which can be easy build based on custom instructions from bricklink. But nobody can build sets like Ghostbusters without figures and special parts.

  8. ​I dumped all of mine the past few months averaging about $225 each. I do have one left, since this might be the last original trilogy version for quite some time. I'm not sure who I'm kidding, I'll never break the seals.

  9. ​ So he won't say what price he wants, it just has to be over $1000 and you have to guess. If you guess 5x that amount he is offended and won't talk to you again. You were supposed to read his mind and offer him the price he wants instead of him, you know, just asking what he wants. No wonder this guy is a failure at lego reselling and has to dump his entire lot at once.

  10. Yes. It looked like they picked the labyrinth set because it was unique. This choice was rather surprising because, well let's just say there was a good reason LEGO retired the entire LEGO games line a couple of years ago.

  14. Wife went to go pickup a smallish star wars and castle craigslist lot. The sellers were so happy they were selling to a nice family (my kids are awesome) that they gave her a $160 telescope for free and tried to give her some bookcases for free but she didn't have the room. Some people really are just good.

  22. Makes sense. It's a double edged sword...being new and unsure, you want to get opinions before buying junk. But it also carries the risk of missing out. Personally, I would rather miss out on something good than get stuck with something bad. Once you do enough bulk lots you learn how to make a decision on the spot. While the deal was OK, you didn't miss out on anything great so consider this a very cheap lesson

  23. Only thing even remotely interesting is the Statue of Liberty and the Ferrari/Lambo. AA and tumbler, OK. Most of the rest is dump-lot fodder.

  24. ​don't break the seals or dump this one also. i've built 7965 with my son and played along side with him. the set is kinda d'oh. while an improvement over prev. MFs, it's still has an avg (at best) design. the interior is good (the areas that even little hands can reach) but everything else is "blah". cockpit, folding roof, landing door, etc... dump, sell, dump, sell

  26. ​Haha, no way would I open a Town Hall just for some minifigs. Plus already have the one and only town hall owned open. But yes, similar kid figures like that would be great.

  28. ​Looks like a great big reseller kick in the teeth to me... Obviously it'll depend on the end product, but unless they have some unique piece in this set it'll be just a regular old set. I'll get one for the kids though, looks like it would be fun to let them play with and customize.

  31. Felt like I hit triple 7's yesterday, for me at least. I went to a Walmart about 30 miles out of town. Started chatting it up with an employee in toys and she ended up marking a ton of stuff down even more from the clearance. Picked up: 70146 Chima Flying Phoenix Fire Temple - $50 70724 Ninjago NinjaCopter - $20 79116 Turtles Big Rig Snow Getaway - $20 (x2) Various Microfighters and a few others - $4-$7 Not too big into Chima, but couldn't say no to a set that big that is more than half off. They had two more left, any thoughts on if I should go back for them?

  33. Today, I see PS 10218 listed as #1 Best Selling "Building Set" on Amazon... must've been available at MSRP lately? Anyone know how does Amazon calculate the "best seller" list? Is it over the past 24 hours... a week? ... 30 minutes? ... never mind... I forgot about this thing called "Google": "... The Amazon Best Sellers calculation is based on Amazon.com sales and is updated hourly to reflect recent and historical sales of every item sold on Amazon.com. ..."

  35. Not everyday you see an auction asking 10x what the sets are worth http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-MY-ENTIRE-LEGO-COLLECTION-TONS-OF-SETS-TONS-OF-MINIFIGS-LOOK-/301640872891?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276 $12,000. Yep. I got about $1300 for this on the lot calculator. Granted, that doesn't include the used sets, but I seriously doubt there's $10k worth of used. Based on the pictures, I *might* go $1000 for the whole lot. Might. I dearly hope this isn't a member here.

  36. ​They appear to be 8x1 black bricks with the center line being made of 6x1 alternating black and white plate, layed as a brick wall on it's side. This could be interesting as you could add extra lanes with yellow 6x1 plates as well. The challenge would be any curved road sections, however we are in LEGOland... "We don't need no stinking curves." I really like how the roads and sidewalks look. To wrap the rails they used angle and wedge pieces. That is a lot of work, and it does look really nice. I wonder if the road plates would be cheaper than building. But, there would be a customizability conundrum the plates would create in the process... Hmm, it is interesting to ponder. Maybe it is time to stock up on long black bricks. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

  45. I nearly spit out my coffee when I read the title. Thus far I have zero, zilch, nada of the Pet Shop and I broke out into a cold sweat. EOL false alarms are going to be the death of me! On a side note, does anyone see this retiring before the GE?
