Hey, BPers! In addition to being a fellow investor and Lego-Dad, I'm a filmmaker, and I just completed a mash-up of The Lego Movie and Guardians of the Galaxy. The two films are virtually identical story-wise, so I edited footage from both into a single video, cutting back and forth seamlessly. I'm very proud of the way it turned out, and I think you guys in particular will enjoy it. Thanks for watching! John EDIT: Apparently I have no idea how to embed. Thanks to TheGallows for posting a link.

I need more deals so the bickering can stop.

Bricks and pieces order came. Built my own 40108 Balloon Cart poly

I believe many users find it easier to just create a new thread, and then wait for the mods to do all the work

I think this may be like when you buy underwear for your significant other because it looks amazing on the model in the pic.

Going to the monthly LEGO build tonight with my son. I might have to pick up the UCS Assault on Hoth when no members are watching.

Here's the pic now that I'm home. The Titan battle is open but complete and getting parted out anyways.

Ironically, today just happens to be Senior Discount Day at Shopko. Unfortunately there are no good sales or clearance prices to be had in my area. We cleaned them out of all the good stuff the past two months. I was hoping the stars and planets would have aligned and that they would be running a decent May the 4th sale to stack with the senior discount. No luck.

When people mentioned this, @terrymc4677 profile picture comes to mind

What's with the novel length responses lately? Just to give everyone a heads up most of us here are ADDers into kids toys.

Are you a CEO by chance? Asking for a friend...

Yes

This is not the same.

Sorry to offend, I meant nothing at all about you specifically (I know you well enough to know that you wouldn't do that) - I was just joking, since it is a fairly common occurrence (usually with new users).

Agreed.

Seems obvious in that post, but I'll help you out: 067341923169 067341921011 067341922924 067341923068 067341924943 067341921301 067341920764

On the road...

Finished a pair of townhouses from the 10218. I mirrored one, have not decieded which way I will place them. Going to add another townhouse with the pet shop, should make a nice residential block for my town.

Now retired at Lego SAH US! Still available on Amazon at retail, but not sure where else. Will check back in a couple years. Good luck all on this one.

Exactly. If folks want a 100% guaranteed 10179, they can buy a new one. I can't tell you how many used multiple set lots I purchased that were thrown in one box or needed some elements from bricklink to complete them. People need to find something else to campaign for.

Well this is just silly.........

We're all good. Let's shake and make-up ....

I believe there is a whole forum dedicated to IST. Where's The Cleaner when you need him!

I really don't think he meant you specifically. I see new threads started unnecessarily almost daily...

Ok. Both of you have a point so lets end this here. The weather is too nice outside for me to officiate any bout today

Do what now?

That's a bootleg. The masks for the troopers are not correct, and the logo is blurred out, likely to hide the fact is says STAR WARZ

Other than free Target money, May the 4th deals are more like May the Fizzle.

EF76 Nebulon-B escort frigate Massive scale, has the Millennium Falcon docked, and he's even included the window scene when they are all stood there and the end of the film. Excellent

Finished building the DO with my son. My favorite modular build so far, so much fun!

Rumor has it @jaisonline is actually a Time Lord. So do not rule out that thought yet

+1

But is the current IST CEO desk worthy? We know the UCS model certainly is...

Just left my LEGO store and they had just added 75093 Death Star Final Duel to the sale for $63.99 (20% off). They said it was in-store only for today only.

Blasphemy! The only hope for the Rebel Alliance was aboard that transport. That puts it in the same league as the Tantive IV, Millennium Falcon, and Red 5.

honestly, i couldn't care less if my expensive used sets purchased were bricklinked or not. all i care about is whether the manual, stickers (if applicable) and "correct" elements are included. lego has made so many of each set. then mentally add another 5-10% on top of whatever that # is due to folks needing misplaced manuals.

Then what's the harm in saying it was bricklinked? If you bricklinked a set, what reason would you have for not mentioning it was bricklinked? The reality is that people aren't bricklinking the balloon cart poly (no offense Poly :)) and putting it on eBay. They're bricklinking the big and expensive sets... and with that comes the risk of wrong parts, fake stickers, etc. If you all truly believe its worth the same, then you should put BRICKLINKED in your title and see if it matters.

Seriously guys, why should retailers put sale signs above the LEGO sections when people would line up to pay $150 for a box of white bricks or $250 when the box has UCS stamp on it ? Too soon?

Uncontrolled Forest Fires (wildfires).

True, but limited to a select few..it was. A good deal for most, it was not.

Escape The Space Slug was hardly a dud for this years May The 4th....

Very nice. I did the exact same thing yesterday. SSD for $900 cash. Local sale. My buyer was a regular of mine who I have sold quite a bit to over the past six months. There is nothing better than cash in hand with no eBay, PayPal, or shipping fees and the headaches that can accompany them. I've still got three more that I plan on holding much longer. This sale will help pay for all of the $74 Tydiriums I've purchased from Wal-Mart last week.

Sold x2 complete sets of Disney minifigures #71012 for $151 each on Amazon, then raised the price to $165 and sold a 3rd set. Also sold a City Police Dog Unit #60048 for $50 on eBay

I hate that my Barnes & Noble puts their clearance LEGO in the middle of the store where everyone can see it.

just ridiculous. an absolute poorly researched conclusion. don't read a book, because the book won't let your mind wander and will make you focus on just a single plot, rather than let your mind run amok with ideas

Today's fun
