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.

When sets take a long time to sell out after retiring across the pond it is never a great sign - SSD is perhaps the notable exception. 1 set to cover base and not look like an idiot if it becomes a huge EOL success would appear to be the most prudent choice. Going all in is a risky move but fortune favours the brave.

Time to load up on SOH over the next few weeks if this Big Ben is in the same scale. I have the same thought!

I'm starting to wonder if the Hanna Barbera theme is possibly it's own unique wave. Sounds like the Jetson's and Flinstones could be coming too. Scooby Doo could be part of this big licensing wave that includes multiple cartoon series. I think there's something cooking there.

I just read all the in-house content contributed so far and absolutely love it. You guys have the right idea and deserve kudos for getting it rolling in the right direction immediately (Macks AND authors alike).

But there are always two, a master and an apprentice.

While Lego makes cool toys, I have no respects for the corporate leadership after this. Very low. All that just for 1% revenue of one set. Even if they didn't steal the idea (very doubtful), they had absolutely no respect for the idea author by not telling him about it. An NDA should work to protect the confidentiality. Even if he leak the set info on some internet forum, so what? They leaked future set info all the time. Now I can guess why some talented MOCers (such as Nico71) never submitted any idea.

Just make sure that you mention that they will need to have the address updated on their account, before the purchase is made.

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.

I use this sniping software for alot more than just lego on ebay. Works flawlessly and the price is right: http://www.gixen.com/

This will get you so many "likes"! I'd give you more if I could! Only trouble is how to find these red brickstone pieces... I think they are really expensive...

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.

Amazon Heartlake High - $85 LOTR: Mines of Moria - $119 Thanksgiving Turkey - $25 JW: Raptor Escape - $100 Sopwith Camel - $190 TMNT: Baxter Robot Rampage - $55 Technic: 42007 Motocross Bike - $80 Ninjago: Golden Dragon - $75 Batman Two-Face Chase - $138

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.

Certain minifigures perhaps. Better hold onto those Sail Barges!

I have a funny story about a husband and wife cosplay duo at CVII. Her husband was dressed up as Slave Leia and she was an Admiral or something. I took their pic and laughed, told the guy he had cojones and went on. Later in the day I saw a red Stormtrooper or something, stopped for a pic and he said "Hey man, you took my picture earlier!" I did? "Yes, the dude dressed up as Slave Leia." Doh!

This is the first time I've ever posted in this thread, but I feel a little like a kid in a candy store. I found myself an early Christmas present! Used on Craigslist...$700 with box and instructions. Was only missing about 12 pieces which we easily found in our collection. Out of 5922...that's pretty good! The light is nothing original, but really enhances nighttime display! Sits quite comfortably next to the Eiffel Tower. Now I just need the GC!

So this may touch a nerve to some here as I'm not sure if anyone on this site does it, but when I'm bored and just chilling on the laptop while watching TV, I'm going to start reporting every listing I see selling minifigs in the 'Sets' category. I did a search for the ISD today. Returned 156 results. 29 of those were for minifigs or instruction sets. There is a very accurate category for those. In case there are some eBay category challenged people here, this is the category: Toys & Hobbies>Building Toys>LEGO>Minifigures, Bulk Bricks/Lots>Minifigures. I'm tired of seeing page after page full of listings of minifigs and parts when I search for sets. I might even see if I can start some kind of petition to send to eBay that asks them to suspend users if they continually abuse the listing policy. I have 100's of online friends that know nothing about LEGOs, but would digitally sign it if I asked them to. Rant over.

This was the most appropriate thread I could think of to post this, the USPS has posted some rate increase information that is proposed to start January 2016. In short, it's a double digit percentage increase across the board. One thing that stands out is First Class Package rates. Although increasing 12.8%, the weight limit moves from 13oz to 16oz. So there is some good mixed in with the bad (the rate increase). There is a pretty good blog post about it here: http://blog.stamps.com/2015/10/22/usps-announces-postage-rate-increase-starts-january-17-2016/

you gave them the blueprint but yet some order 25 in one night....

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.
