just finished building 7962, and to tell you the truth, im not sure why this set doesnt appreciate in value more because it just looks bad ass! the build was great and the outcome even better ... TLG really did a good job in replicating the likeness to the movie ... A+

List from 2016 rumors on hothbricks 40122 Trick or Treat 40123 Thanksgiving Feast 40124 Winter Fun 40125 Santa's Visit 40138 Christmas Train 40139 Gingerbread House 40140 Flower Wagon 40141 Bricktober Hotel 40142 Bricktober Train Station 40143 Bricktober Bakery 40144 Bricktober Toys R Us Store Most are predictable, but Christmas Train 40138 and Gingerbread House 40139 are Interesting. Given the numbering these could be mini builds (4013X), though that would put the christmas train in Jan?, or promo polys (like 40140) and the mini builds are only planed through dec? Also more bricktober mini modulars.

Ahhh, the good ol' long term hold v QFLL debate take 1,765,612. Yawn.

Not sure if my last post went thru, but found these at my local Target today and they rang up $1.99 each. Got two plant guys, werewolf, spectre, and banshee.

That's right. Raptors bite off the arm that feeds them. or arm wrestles with Satan donned in a white robe. At least I know now that Raptors are on the side of the Righteous. This gives a new definition to Rapture escape that someone posted the other day.

THE BATCAVE

8 of these. And glad to see it changed from sold out to retired. Has very good potential.

It's been a busy week. We've built all the Scooby Doo sets, 6036 Carnage Shield Sky Attack, 76037 - Rhino and Sandman Supervillain Team-Up, 6867 - Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape, and 6869 - Quinjet's Aerial Battle. Yes, we're opening retired sets and I still need to build Spidey-Cycle to have a NIck Fury. I'm totally blown-away by how small the new Quinjet is in comparison to the old one. 6869 is a great build and I guess it's underrated, since it's growth was stunted by the new inferior Quinjet.

So much kindness here I miss the olden days is this brick picker or nit picker ?

2 of my SSDs are dented similar to that. 3 others are absolutely trashed courtesy of Walmart. The inner boxes are still sealed, albeit dented. The outer box looks like it went through a wood chipper. I am SO glad I kept them all.

Keep it. That isn't that bad.

Oh. Good point. Math is hard.

I'm going to blame it on mobile, I guess. I swear there were only two figures listed as being 5x on the list you guys posted in the last page of this thread. But, now that I'm on desktop, I see three. I don't believe that was Vodka that I put in my OJ this morning, either.

Disturbing IDEAS submission of the week, LEGO Marvel Stan Lee

This is a really cool take on the hulk buster suit. I love the scale of it and as I've said before I'm a sucker for any set that has a mech in it. Looks like a really cool build. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/103777

Mixels Series 5 Klinkers. These fellas remind me of a time before now where we just call it all "steampunk" but instead something like 'clock tech' due to the gears, axles, and gyros similar to that of an old clock and no steam involved. Anyway I found the choice in colors & parts perfect and the character designs interesting & expressive. Overall my personal favorite from the group is easily Gox between the pieces included and the range of motion achievable. (Right now he is having a little head scratching moment pondering about something whatever that may be.) Jinky has a great frame but the gaping mouth large enough to drive a truck through can be distracting and I'm not a fan of his hands (or at least the process of trying to get those robo arms onto the ends of the exhaust pipes). Finally Kamzo is a nicely stout character with very simple but effectively expressive eyes. His right arm claw is very cool even though it cannot actually grab onto anything. I haven't built these Klinkers' Max form but I must say it could be the first I would be willing to. In other events, I took my complete set of Series 4 Infernites found on clearance at the same time as Magnifo and made a mini mixel mech from each of them. Jeeze, and I thought building the big ones were limiting. Haha. Well they turned out ....interesting to say the least. Meltus became a kind of fat little droid, Flamzer is some big blaster cannon, while Burnard came out pretty good like some versatile walking turret. At this size they aren't flexible by any stretch but they only need to look the part not move the part. Up next are the Frosticons and Lixers of Series 5.

Lol Not the original intention but from time to time coincidences work in my favor

little NIN reference.

We could probably help if you uploaded a picture of what you're asking about.

you need to go back and buy all of them!!!

EBay - 9500 - Sith Fury-Class Interceptor - $120

I was at the lego store last Tuesday and they had a full restock of the JW line all 29R5 except the RE they were still 07R5. It did take some will power to walk away from the fresh stack.

Imperial Shuttle Tydirium - what a great build. It looks phenomenal and the figs are awesome. I will be looking for this one on discount and loading up starting next year...

I do too as it gave me something to complain about when he missed those daily summary posts... well yeah they are retiring soon right?

Raptors know not to bite the hand that feeds them.

I did miss the olden days when Trek contributed great things to this site. Did anyone remember the Daily Summary posts ?

Ask the folks in the Grand Emporium, Haunted House, or Super Star Destroyer thread if they regret returning sets when it was in and out of stock around this time last year. I have a couple DS that are in similar shape, if not much worse. I am holding onto them. You never know when "last call" at the bar will be.

I'm not even covert about it. If a buyer asks me for a slightly lower price, I tell them that I can sell it elsewhere (BC in this case) I have had emails cancelled from ebay due to putting an email address in it, so I know you can't do that anymore, but it seems redirecting them to Brick Classifieds has not been caught onto yet. If they ban me, whatever, I'll move my stuff over to Amazon. They might be losing 1 in 50 of my sales, it's a small percentage.

Today some other lego forums have published this list of all 2016 Technic sets. Sets 52-56 seem to be the larger sized ones but it is not clear which will be the flagship model. 42044 Display Team Jet 42045 Hydroplane Racer 42046 Getaway Racer 42047 Police Interceptor 42048 Race Kart 42049 Mine Loader 42050 Drag Racer 42051 Airport Rescue Vehicle 42052 Heavy Lift Helicopter (replace 42025 cargo plane?) 42053 Volvo EW160E (replace 42008 service truck?) 42054 Claas Xerion 5000 TRAC 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator 42056 Ultimate IP Car (possible flagship replace 42009?)

Dude I don't live at LL but I will do my best...maybe this weekend

I got a Scooby Mansion today from K-Mart online. FWIW, it's a 'hot buy' and coupons still worked on it. I just nabbed a $10 back on $50 from the SYW portal. Nothing too fancy. Paired with $7 surprise, and $16 banked points, & Raise discount, my buy-in was $65 with $10 back in points. It worked out around 27% off, which I'm good with.

Both Downtown Disney and Legoland FL had zero JW in stock as of a few days ago.

Well for the special VIPs you mean? They've got their connections ^.^ For us mortal VIPs I don't think it will be released early on as LEGO should have advertised for it by now

If I can get them for $45 at KMart, I'm all in.

Picked up 75053 The Ghost for $50 - Walmart clearance. The box was pretty beat up, but it's to build so it's ok.

I'm glad I passed on JW and scooby just reading about it makes my head hurt. Now get me my early release Temple of Airjitsu and let the real fun begin, Please

The other thing I do is add multiple wanted lists in BL. So lets say I'm searching my primary wanted list to complete a set. if I find a store that has what I need, I'll check my secondary wanted lists before I check out to see if they have anything I want, so I can minimize getting separate shipping charges on separate orders. And if you've never tried it, try using the Brick Wizard (thebrickwizard.com). It can take your BrickStock wanted list, and find you the best combination of stores to get the lowest price for everything on your list. Works best if you have <20 items you need. Otherwise the computations get astronomical.

almost done working through a Queen Anne's Revenge that I picked up from CL yesterday. it's been a fun one to build with my boys.

you mean you're not holding these until post EOL?

This one is creeping into my "regrets" list. I didn't start participating here until after B-Wing discount day. B-Wing is my all-time favorite Star Wars ship. Heck, my license plate was "BWING" for years. I have the current B-Wing, but wish I would have picked up just one of these at $99 for myself.

I had a buyer send the obligatory "can you sell to me for $xx and I'll pay right away?" emails awhile back. I ignored like I normally do and then they paid full price 2 days later. Helped it was a relatively rare item on ebay but I chuckled nonetheless.

It's almost as awesome as the climb after all the dust settles...

Maybe with a Disney logo! I don´t think that the packaging determines the longevity of the product - all these sets apart from Sea Cow are going to have more production runs and Lego has maybe just phased in new box art on a general scale.

Scooby Doo Mystery Mansion set: build took about 1.5 hours and was enjoyable. The two things I would change would be: have a brick built purple tower top instead of the large molded piece and also have the set aligned straight instead of angled in on both sides. Or have it angled on the green house side and the other two building connected flush instead of the way they did. Figures are great and vampire looks much better in person and not as child like as I thought the photos showed. The Haunted Lighthouse is still my favorite set thus far but this is a very close second.

I'd be interested in what Mos_Eisley thinks about the set and just go with whatever his gut feeling is. If I'd have put 20k in the last 2 years in whatever Mos_Eisley's said I know I'd be up 20k

Not true.

At Brickworld, there was a vendor selling LED lights that had the Ferris Wheel lit up. It made an incredible set even better. The woman at the counter said they were working on a light kit that would work specifically with the Ferris Wheel that would be ready for release in roughly 6 months. Can't wait for this...

Finally, my R2 shelf is complete. Thx for everyone's contribution. I think I'm going to start another row of these. These will not be on the market again for a minimum of 4 years.
