  1. This was on my local Craigslist today. It was too beautiful not to share at least the MOC:

  3. Sea Cow only got 6 letters, only 3 letters shorter than MSC... a little bit tedious to make abbreviation, no? Maybe MSC can be more confusing/challenging than SC for people to adapt to. lol

  10. Now that the listing is back; we can again see the local stock checker. Looks like a few in my area are showing stock which did not have any a couple days ago, will have to check.

  11. My sales have been moving quickly the last week. I've moved over $5k in modulars, many via eBay. Curiously, about 2/3 of my sales have been via eBay global shipping. Let that be a lesson: you really need to open up to global sales if you want to move inventory. My eBay modular listings have been selling like hotcakes; my usual buy-it-now, instant Paypal required listing has been moving in well under 24 hours. FYI.

  12. One of my personal favorite areas of MOCs which in sort basically is taking the varied groups of astronauts through the 80s - 90s forward with modern standards of build techniques and fantastical spacecraft. Some are updates to the classic designs but mostly original builds made/inspired by the space explorers base colors and concepts. Of course this topic will also include Neo Classic Space builds which are more traditionally specific to just LEGO's very first Space line released in the late 70s and early 80s.

  13. I'm in BC Canada and headed to a toys'r'us nearby today. Secretly hoping I would see some WALL-E on the shelves, I was positive that there wouldn't be any. Not only is it August 28th (pre-release), but being in Canada, we seem to be behind and poorly stocked compared to the U.S., however, after going through all the shelves and moving various sets, I found 2 MISB WALL-E sets. Needless to say, I was flabergasted. I snapped them up right away and there was no issue purchasing them. Didn't have any coupons or anything today, but I'm at home looking at them as I write this. I plan on building one of them soon and will update with what I see in terms of quality control.

  16. I'll just do without abrevations... they often confuse me too. Sometimes I actually gotta look up what people are talking about... sometimes the actual full words are only a couple letters longer than the abbreviation. Lol like in that instance

  21. Just bought 2 DS from Walmart...thanks for the info. I'll be returning the 2 I got from TRU a week ago when the price was $550. Pretty much $100 cheaper from Walmart because of free shipping, I'm cool with that!

  22. Also in the Monster Fighters series, in 9462 The Mummy, some boxes came with a mummy that glowed in the dark, others contained one that did not.

  23. I did my share and picked up a couple just now. Didn't realize I had 300 in my paypal just sitting there. Been a while since I used it. So now 100. Even if they never do well...i don't see them going below msrp...so no harm done. Trade bait is good to have laying around.

  24. ultra agents is meh? My kid built a few of the bigger sets like the helicopter, and our view is that they look really cool with the blue transparent bricks against the largely black colour theme. The mini figs are also very well designed. If lego had put in the same marketing effort to this theme as they had for chima, i would think that the ultra agent theme would achieve the same popularity as ninjago. Too bad some exec in the company made a wrong choice.

  26. I can not believe this, but it happens: Walmart has 75920 available on line as its MSRP, see here: http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/lego-jurassic-world-raptor-escape-75920/6000191981665 Seems DS back on-line again there: http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/lego-lego-star-wars-death-star-10188/927208 Also Walmart has City and Friends' advent calendar of this year available on-line, but they are not released yet? http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/lego-city-advent-calendar-60099/6000193609512 http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/lego-friends-lego-friends-advent-calendar-41102/6000193609515 Good luck!

  27. Normally, I wouldn't have paid any attention to this line but reading at how many people are upset (not just on this site) that these 3 sets aren't even coming to their countries has made me take notice. The reviews I've read of the boat have been really good & the excitement prior to its release & non-release have me interested.

  28. I'm new to this, but the two seem incongruous to me. How does a set from such a dreadfully unpopular series double or triple in price after EOL? I've been buying these because of the perceived scarcity, but, to be 100% honest, when I look at the box there's nothing about it that excites me. I wouldn't buy it (for myself) for more than $40 or $50, and that would be just for the parts. what am I missing about this? (haha and why am I buying it since I obviously think it's lame? I'm such a lemming)

  30. 70173 Ultra Agents Ocean HQ is "call to check" on SAH. Still widely available at TRU in my neck of the woods.... Picked up one more today. Very curious to see is this one will be in demand a year after EOL (whenever EOL ends up being)...

  33. Here's a possible leaked plot/story for "The Force Awakens". If you choose to read it, take it for what it is. Possible spoilers ahead. http://nerdsoftheforce.blogspot.com/2015/08/exclusive-predicted-inside-story-plot.html

  34. You know what...make fun all you want, but when my original Ronnie Greatrex painting is woth brazilions of dollars who's laughing then? Ronnie Greatrex, that's who. You know what...I take it back. More power to this guy. His art seems odd to me but whatever...dude is happy making his art and he DOES sell it, so good for him.

  39. Built the Temple of Airjitzu today: from the pictures I was concerned there were too many colors and it would look over the top but I am happy to say in person the color choices make sense. The build was no too complex and I wished the Smuggler's Market section was a little more complex brick wise but the rest of the set was fun and I really enjoyed building the main temple section. This was my first ever Ninjago purchase so I am happy about the selection of figures and think they look cool positioned running on the rooftops etc. If I had to give an overall grade it would be B+

  40. It would be so wrong of Lego to retire Red 5 and leave the Death Star hanging around. That's letting the Empire win!

  45. Do you think Lego would spend millions on License Fees, plus millions for the molds to make these sets just to have them out for a few months. They have struck gold with this series so don't be surprised if the sets go into 2016.
