Was finally able to finish my white Maul. Finally realized that I have been putting the horns on wrong. 3rd times the charm I guess.

My son crashed pretty hard tonight when he went to bed. He made sure to have all of his Iron Man suits in formation and at the ready. Just received another used mansion, so it will get an expansion project soon.

To all of our Brickpicker customers, I hope that I can answer any and all questions and put any concerns to rest here. I will include photos of strip-style boxing for a different series at the bottom of this message. 1. In our many years of experience, strip-style boxes always receive the exact same 60 minifigures that a display box receives. 2. For those who are concerned that the box will have a different resale value, that simply has not been true in our experience either. A buyer's primary concern is that the box is factory sealed and contents are guaranteed. With this packaging, both of these concerns are still put to rest. This series has still received the highest demand of any series we have had yet, and we are still keeping our prices raised as we did because we know this packaging will not stall demand. 3. If anyone would like display packaging, we will be ordering that once we sell out of this shipment. However, we purchased enough to last until Halloween, so display boxes will not be sold in our store until Christmas time. I also want to note that our pre-order price will almost certainly not be offered again on this series. I hope to convey my sincerest apologies for this inconvenience. I know that consistency with the agreement is one of the important elements in a pre-order. However, I hope that I can also answer any questions and concerns here. We could have made the choice to reject the supply and send it back for the correct packaging, but because we know that timeliness is the most important factor in the pre-order, and the value would remain unchanged, the decision was made to accept the goods in the packaging our suppliers were given. Once again, all contents remain the same. The shipment date estimate remains unchanged. The value is unchanged. And most importantly, this is still the best series to invest in yet. Please DM or comment and I will do my best to answer any and all questions as soon as possible. Kind regards, Jon

Not as long as the cameras are on, but no one knows what he does for fun later...

should get some Electros or Brown Ninjas out of that...

At least if you get banned now there are cool giphy's to go with it

You should open that HH.

Open the brown box.

Haunted House $457 on amazon. 2.5 msrp for me is a good place to sell one. forgot i had even listed it there - a little sad to see one go. more cash in the Santa's Workshop bucket. where the heck is SW???

Ok everyone - let's try this one more time! I know you're all on the edge of your seat, waiting with anticipation! Ship Collection 1 Ship Collection 2 Ship Collection 3

Just received the below order status message from Minifigures Plus. Anyone else receive it? Not sure what I want to do, either cancel or just keep the order. I was looking forward to getting sealed cases to keep for collection/investment. Dear buyer,We apologize for the inconvenience but unfortunately we were notified by our supplier today that our stock will be shipped in the hanging strip-style packets. We will of course guarantee the exact same box distribution as the standard packaging. Since the black display case will not be included, if you decide that the strip-style is not of interest for you, please let us know. We will take it upon ourselves to cancel your order and refund it in full. We will be contacting our suppliers to receive full assurance that new shipments will have packaging guarantees. In our experience, the packaging of Collectible Minifigures is not a significant issue to our buyers. Since we are aware that there are some who prefer one or the other, we want to maintain our promises with every pre-order. We hope that you will continue shopping with us and we will do our best to continue offering lower prices and quality customer service. Kind regards,Linda

Over on a blog site called Brickhamster, there is a continually growing archive called "Modular buildings building guide" with pictures aplenty. You can check out just the images over on the Flickr account. So far it covers the basics to modular house building well as some nice tips & tricks.

next logical step is limit 0.

I'm loving it.

I can't believe they let me walk out with the display box...

I had the day off work today and built the mystery machine and haunted lighthouse during a scooby-foo marathon with the little guy. The MM is pretty resilient. My 3yr old hasn't stopped playing with it (minus dinner time) for 6hrs now!

It has a Jawa AND and ewok. It's been a few years for a ewok set, plenty of new blood will be happy. The city one has a husky too while we are at it

I am guessing the seller is not intending to buy from your or fulfill any orders. You just happened to be the listings he copied to scam ebay buyers, Happens all the time.

Ok back to normal. Became a lego man today and bought my first ever millenium falcon and a kylo ren ship as well. Ahhh, i can feel my chest hair growing.

If it is in fact those hanger things, i'm definitely cancelling multiple orders. 2 in hand sellers on ebay. cheapest in-hand sealed box of 60 on ebay - $349. then its $459. some deep pocketed insider went deep and early....

I'm really leaning toward cancelling like Terry has already done. I gladly paid for 2 sealed cases knowing that it might be a month or more before I actually received them. This is exactly why I do not offer preorder sales on eBay. I have seen to many sellers get negative feedback from not being able to deliver goods as promised when buyers paid weeks/months earlier expecting to receive a specific product. Although it may be due to a manufacturing, distribution, some other issue, you end up losing trust from your buyers. It is to much risk in trying to sell something before you actually have it in hand.

I did, for each one...

If they do mean those pictured above they do not have the regular distribution so I wonder how they will make complete sets. I got a case of those from target for Simpsons series 1 and they were mostly marge and only 1 of the ones that were supposed to be 3. On a good note for those of us that got sealed cases this can only help their value.

While I'm sure some of these will do very well, they are just not my thing. Went to Target yesterday as it was my first chance to get out and everything from Force Friday was gone, except for these. Not a good sign in my opinion, but they also may have been stocked deeper. I should have taken a picture of the giant void at the end of the aisle, it was impressive.

So, sometimes I check other listing to see how competitive my prices are...I notice this guy is neck & neck with me on a couple of my items. I'm used to seeing some of the same items from sellers but this guys pics look very similar to mine. So, I click all of the pics on the same items that I'm also selling. Wait for it...Yup, my pics. No worries. So, I read his text next & what do you think I find? Wait for it...Yup, my text. I check more of his listings & see the seller is in Korea! How exactly is he able to offer free shipping from Korea to the U.S.? I'm guessing with my unwitting assistance. Well, my friend, you have been blocked...

i want to see some MOC, or people placing them around. I'm going to do a costume party around my VC come october. I still dont want to open one of my HH's yet.

Built Vader last night after a long SW flipping day. Nice build, lots of big molded / angled parts making the cost seem worth it. Vaders head is prebagged and its a large nice quality cape. Lots of poses and movements with the ball joints. Not your typical LEGO build at all but still pretty cool. Might do Grievous out of the line as well.

I'm building my squad of cheerleaders

OK, seems it is caused by some issue on WM end and now they fixed it. My order for one 60014 goes through.

I like to think of Tiger Lady as less "body suit" and more "body paint." But then I'm a "creepy smoosher" so that shouldn't surprise anyone. 'CS's are people too!!

word! brilliant!

The Skeleton Guy is technically the only character here who is wearing a suit according to his short bio and the outfit does look that way as well. Plant Monster seems like someone in a costume although his background reads otherwise as in the process of being digested by the plant only to be spat out later and Tiger Woman can easily go as a full bodysuit with some face paint applied but she is considered to be something of an anthro. Far as the general public is concerned, they're all costumes.

A little surprised how well this sold, moved 60 units this week and most of it in bulk so made for a very nice week. Keep up the good work Wall-E

Sold a 4435 Car and Caravan for 55 euro excl. shipping.

It has a Jawa, never underestimate Jawa power.

The Doof Wagon by Matt De Lanoy

I built a Midi Millennium Falcon to verify that all the parts were in the box.

Here is a link to a great way to fix Wall-e's head:

All you guys that are on Panic Mode all making a mistake, why pay top dollar, and act like the world is ending , these sets are coming, coming back, there will be plenty of these, if you are buying for quick flips well great, but long term investors should stop the panic buying, these sets have a long long way to go. "Now the Raptor Escape is another thing, Only Lego and Walmart no what there Strategy is." As for me I have 15 of the 75919, paid $83-$100, and except for a few Raptor Escape's the 75919 is the only set that I will be loading up on. Everytime somebody see's sold out on the Lego site right away the sets done, take the Sea Cow, last week Sold Out, its done not coming back, few days later back again and you can buy 5. Sold out does not mean crap. Ed

Hyrule Castle by Joseph Zawada

Modular medieval house inspired by set 1592

Tower of Orthanc!!!

Made from 100% genuine Lego, with some parts chromed! Check this out on his flickr bricksonwheels.

I saw 4 Ewok Village sets tonight at Walmart along with 4 Simpsons House. All were full price. Either someone didn't pick up their ship to store order or Lego is trying something new.

Not like this makes that much of a difference, but that's one reason every single one of my listings warn that the box might show wear, even if it is Mint.

I was doing a little searching around for some modular size Hall of Justice instructions and I stumbled upon this: Now my son wants me to build it.

Saw this yesterday which in unsettling. Lego will have no issue to dig into your business with friends like Ebay. http://consumerist.com/2015/07/21/ebay-will-send-your-full-name-location-and-phone-number-to-any-auction-bidder-who-asks/

This sounds like a reason to use the GSP and then it isn't your concern after you ship it to Kentucky (except for SNAD)
