Hilarious!!!!!!

New trailer !

Oh, please have a space for a battery pack at the base and a functioning time clock...that way I can totally justify displaying this in the living room...I can see many of us justifying it now, "but honey, its not a toy, its a clock"!

U smile , u wink , and you say thank you

Assuming this is not just a huge bell, I hope it includes more Westminster palace, not just the tower like the Architecture set.

Wouldn't be the first time they "borrowed" from somebody, won't be the last. There was an uncanny resemblance to a Haunted House MOC when 10228 came out as well. I'd be pissed as well. Like the guy said, if they were truly planning on something like that, having him sign an NDA would have easily allowed them to say "thanks for your submission, but here's what we're already working on", and it would have cleared everything up. Now they have some obvious bad press because of this decision due to their obsession with secrecy, which I can understand due to all the knockoffs.

I'm about to meet a guy to sell my one and only Exo Suit. Buy in was like $32 and some change. Selling it for $35. Looking forward to getting rid of this one. $3 profit.....woohoo!!!

Unless u sold them for cash there are fees involved and shipping costs among others .

This could have gone in about 5 different threads, but ultimately, it's an MOC, so it belongs here. Credit to PaddyBricksplitter

ok. maybe its just me and i have star wars on the brain but i took a picture of this cloud the other day... dum dum da-dum dum da-dum dum da-dum.

The Hive by Bart De Dobbelaer

Or 10253 Big Ben all tock and no action.

If it meant something, Lego will surely change it...

Red is for Hobbit and Orange is for Star Wars

HELLS YEAH! The trailers keep getting better without really giving away the story... but such subtle hints. Who really is Kylo Ren and if he's such a bad ass, why doesn't he kill Rey? What is Han doing with Rey? Love it! As to that lightsaber... it's almost like someone built it themselves with an imperfect energy source. Maybe after disappearing for a while and then deciding he was going to take on evil from the inside?

More observation: - This Japanese version showed more BB-8 than any other trailers combined (Geez I wonder why ) - I already mentioned how I love the "fiery" look of Kylo Ren's lightsaber, especially the hot air surrounding it when Kylo put the saber next to Rey's head - Damn the shot with TIEs flying with sun on the background was a call back to Apocalypse Now @gregpj I am officially stoked by this movie, no more pretending to have low expectation, HA!

Looks like Lego will be releasing GB sets to coincide with next years movie http://www.toynews-online.biz/news/read/sony-pictures-details-toy-plans-for-ghostbusters-jumanji-and-get-smurfy/045530 “Alongside Mattel, we have LEGO on board, Funko doing Pop! Vinyl and Rubie’s is making costumes. It’s expansive. We have something for everyone, whether you’re a collector or an everyday toy buyer.”

Thank you for your time in assisting with the "BA coupons". Having said that, I hate you Seriously need a jealous button. I quit TRU for the last 3 weeks because of all the new hires and having to instruct them that 20% off $100 was not a $2 off. The last 79018 I bought took me almost 1 hour to ring up. It felt like I was Pippen asking Treebeard to decide if I was an orc.

The Swiss guy who made the Lego Ideas Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters made a statement on his page about the very similar looking new Lego 75827 set: My Statement on the release of the Lego Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters

The AT-AT looks kind of cute next to them!

It might be this coupon $10 off over 100 or $15 when paying with TRU credit card

U suck frequently!

I just wrote a second article today. Guys - this really doesn't take a long time to submit something. Even with pulling down a photo, and linking to BrickPicker pages, it took maybe 10-15 minutes to write up a short news article. For those of you that talk about giving back to the site - I realize transferring funds via PayPal for a yearly subscription seems like the easiest way to help out. But this is a very easy way to give back to the site. The more exposure that BrickPicker gets on Google, the more clickthrus it receives, and the more money back into their pocket. Please consider taking even a few minutes to contribute a new item, or an analysis, or some other original content.

those sub categories of an insane amount of options did suck this same argument is another that comes up a lot. The whole new for used, set or part of a set. A big part still falls on ebay for never adding a "new other" option like just about every other main category. The fact that certain categories have totally different sub categories makes no sense to begin with. Toys you get new and used. Jewelry you get new with tags, new without tags, new with defects, and preowned. Household items get New , New other, seller refurbished, manufacturer refurbished, used and for parts not working. The fact that there are so many options for some categories and hardly any for some does not make much sense and they have had years to ad them but never do. Then they said you can't use "like new" for items they are either new or used yet still have the like new condition for video games. So go figure. The argument will always be there whether its new or used but more conditions would help. The argument with set vs figure is kind of silly and could just be in LEGO to begin with. If you sell the figs from say a MF versus selling the MF they both come from a set. Most people put xxx minifigure from 7965 or whatever so not sure that really matters to begin with.

Materials guide for LEGO selling & shipping Many members have asked for a centralized place where they can go for shipping box information. I'm going to pin this post and update it as new information is provided. I just want to take a few minutes and thank those who wrote the following articles. They are still very good reference materials for the LEGO storage and shipping process. I may develop this into a blog article eventually.

For battle packs and even small sets, I sometimes use Wal-Mart, Target, or plastic bags from any store. Additional packing isn 't really needed. Usually like 2 bags on bottom, one to wrap the item, and two bags on top. Make sure to cover the corners of the item real nice to provide extra padding. Rule of thumb : ship & pack all of your items the same way you 'd like to receive items you've purchased.

This one was done in a slightly different manner about the same time. "Great minds think alike" and whatnot. 02 by oasisv JO

Bob's Burgers by Chris Goddard

I count 17 in the picture. So figure 34 total. Cheapest US seller that has quantity has them at .33 each. So only about $11.

There. You have a title for your next blog article.

Technically he is way past the return window. This is like if I order something from Walmart but do not open the package until 4 months after it is delivered. He can sort it out with his shipper, but I do not see how you would be responsible with any of this. You shipped to the address listed on the order as required by eBay & Paypal. I would also ask for a picture of the box just to see if the shipper repackage the item.

No Lego home should be without one. In fact, very few are.

I'm guessing Ghostbusters HQ's status of being the third largest Lego set will be short lived.

Awesome idea (even in jest), but that would only enhance the delorean value. I'm talking about a UCS or even remote controlled Delorean (like the one that actually GOT 10,000 supporters). What if they re-considered it? Or if they just built their own, like they've done with the GBHQ? https://ideas.lego.com/projects/8889 The larger scale allows the design to be MUCH more elegant, and the RC feature is actually quite appropriate when you remember that Doc Brown actually piloted the Delorean by RC for the test run with Einstein.

Back in stock at Amazon.

I have some regulars that have items shipped when they plan to fly into the states - it likely isn't a scam. As long as they set up their account to have the hotel address (without you needing to change it), it should be fine (make sure that they have updated their address on their account, before the purchase).

As a reseller, I am happy to bat .700.

Nothing wrong with cashing out at (basically) buy-in so you can reinvest the money more smartly.

I'd be more than happy to provide content. There are a couple recent news posts from my Facebook page, LEGO Maniac USA, that I'd be happy to share with Brickpicker to help get the ball rolling on the new format. If you want a sample of my writing other than what is on the FB page I'd be happy to submit something. I should also be good for a few articles a month and some occasional news updates throughout the week.

"Why" should be pretty obvious. The amount of media attention for BTTF day was amazing (though not unexpected by some). It generated tons of nostalgia for folks who had no idea there was a BTTF set or what they might have cost originally. However I agree the set is not elegant nor eye-catching, which is why i sold my entire stock at that $100 price point. My fear is that October 21st is more of a high water mark, and if Lego sees they can sell a set for $28-35 and people pay $100, they'll be encouraged to do a UCS delorean for 99 or 199. I know i'd much rather have that, and dont want to be stuck with a stack of these if they do a UCS. That and $100 on $28 is FINE by me.

Ladies man in the house.

The reality is that a) some people spend far too much time searching on eBay and b ) others exaggerate how good the deals are... but general hints are: - look for common spelling errors (millenium vs millennium) - mis-categorized items - learn to use the advanced search features to group words and exclude words - and most of all, don't trust eBay's search feature since it uses a highly complex and unpublished sorting algorithm .. there are services out there that will search eBay's listings for you based on criteria you set and they'll do the search all day long (sometimes up to every 30 seconds) looking for matches. People don't like to give too many hints about how they go about searching for the deals... using an automated service or writing their own scripts to monitor eBay and other retailer websites (or paying someone to write them) is a lot more popular than people think.

The Ultimate 42009 is by far the most complicated build I have ever done. The creator of this moc is Jurgen Krooshoop and he did a fantastic job. It is an expensive build with all the PF's. It has eight motors and two battery boxes. In the near future, I will also be taking apart the 8043 and building his ultimate version of that model as well.

Eis Pirat by Philip Stark

Mock Tudor House

Yes, the lack of a helicopter is pretty disturbing. Not sure how Lego dropped the ball on that one. Hopefully they redeemed themselves with some flick fires out the back of the building.

Taj Envy I like them fun quick builds and the head pieces are nice. I am going to pick up Jango tomorrow at TRUTH Note: The football is not for size comparison Tom Brady was playing with it so it is deflated.

Doing a refresh of this ship would make zero sense with all the other options for UCS sets they have yet to create or update(Falcon, Cloud City, etc.). I would like to hold for 3 more years to gain maximum value as I think the market for an iconic ship set of this size will undoubtedly reach close to UCS Millenium Falcon eventually. Occasionally I've seen a set reach a point where the number available drops so low that the price immediately doubles and I could see this happening with a set like this. Most of these have been opened and built as display models and the price is slowly creeping higher before the SW movie refresh has even started. There's around 50 listings on Ebay right now with 25% of those built already or missing minifigs, another 50% are priced over $1,000 and we're not at Christmas yet. UCS MF is already in $5,000-$6,000 territory and 2 years ago it was around half that. In another 2-3 years new UCS MF will probably be in $8,000-10,000 range and these SSDs' will be $2,500-4,000, and in another 5 years we'll all be wishing we had an original still new UCS MF that will be going for $12,000-15,000. I think it's worth the wait to hold strong.
