I can't give enough 'likes' to this picture, thanks for the smile during work.

HODOR!

Picked up a SSD for £600 for personal collection. Its been opened, but all bags sealed and box and instructions in mint condition.

Found a small rift in time space continuum today that allowed me to buy NISB 3818 Bikini Bottom Undersea Party for 30% off MSRP

$30 each? Sure, I guess so...

Price drop again on Amazon 21114 - Minecraft: The Farm - $16.79 (44% off) 42040 - Technic: Fire Plane - $38.00 (24% off)

Was able to snag built and complete (with minifigs and accessories) 7779 The Batman Dragster: Catwoman Pursuit, 7888 The Tumbler: Joker's Ice Cream Surprise, 7886 The Batcycle: Harley Quinn's Hammer Truck, and 7782 The Batwing: The Joker's Aerial Assualt off of Craigslist for $100 total. Should be a nice flip.

Signed a lease on a new warehouse/studio. Going up to 2700sf from 1800sf.

Finished this beauty over the weekend and it is very impressive build by the user Pvdb. It was a tricky build and you definitely should be proficient in building with Technic and have lots of experience as the instructions are not nearly as straight forward as TLG instructions. Here is the Koenigsegg One:1. More pictures, videos and info can be found here.

He looks angry to me... must be the TRU markup that gets him mad.

It gave a new meaning to the idiom "bet the farm" Is it just me or the box art made it look like the plane was releasing blue poop??

So I was finally able to find someone to help develop a plugin for a sticky post that will be great for this thread. The daily deals will now have the updated list like we used to at the top of each page. To make it less annoying to you frequent visitors, it skip past that post as you go from page to page, but you can scroll up at anytime to see it. It is better than it used to be because it will be on every page and you will not need to go back to the first post of the day all the time to get the latest updates. Hopefully you find it useful.

I can't find the "edit" button so if a mod can update my first message, thanks by advance: Of course this chart can look useless to many investors but it can help newcomers.

He looks deranged in the third picture and he's holding his hands out to the kids like, "come with me so I can kill you''. I took it to a dark place didn't I?

I was thinking it might be a new Bricktober thing.

Hmmmm, this is what happens when you drink large Blue ICEEs.

With new Exosuits listed at $33, and very few "used complete" sets being offered... if you're selling and you haven't built one yet, you might as well unbox it, and build it for fun. Let it hang out on your desk for a couple weeks... pose it... have a little fun with it... then box it back up again and sell it. Your opportunity cost making it "used" vs. new is about $3.

Here's a good mini-build, but not much out there for larger builds.

I sold through all of my investment TMNT last year during the holidays. I'm very satisfied with the short-term return. My long-term outlook wasn't great, so I took the money and ran. I did find a stash of lab escapes at a Wal-Mart a few months ago and blew through those already.

Yeah, I'd take ANYTHING from The Nightmare Before Christmas...

Some more figs I'd like to see in the future; Mad Hatter, Jafar, Jack Skellington. I wonder how they would go about designing a Quasimodo fig? Maybe a new hunchback piece that attaches under the head?

Finally got rid of my last Kai Drifter polybag that I got with promos this time last year... $9. Recently sold a pair of Mr. Freeze at $20 each, two May 4th Stormies at $20 each, a 7144 Slave 1 (missing Bobba) for $65, and a complete 6195 Neptune Discovery Lab for $150. Promo $0 polys obviously, and the two sets cost me maybe $20 in replacement parts buy-in, originally from personal collection. Puts a nice chunk towards a Big Ben purchase I think! All prices including shipping. Was quite pleased with the last one as it went for nearly $50 more than brickpicker or bricklink's price guides!

I just picked up 2 assault carriers at my local Walmart @ $30 each

Fba R2D2 :399.9 bought last week for 250$

Very reminiscent of the Buck Rogers star fighter [/img]

6 sets of GBHQ alternate build - WOW - A true masterpiece!

Too many sets, wife with too little patience. We made her this.

It's just you.

It is $109.99 at WM now.....before price match

Not at all. As I mentioned earlier, Allied forces were simultaneously sizeably engaged on many fronts at this very time, including Italy, Africa, the Atlantic, and that's not even counting the operations against Japan on the other side of the world or even the Russian contribution. No military commander puts all his eggs in one basket. Even at D-day itself, it is estimated that about 1 million Allied forces took part, but that there were 3 million stationed in Britain. They didn't even commit the majority of their forces in England, let alone the entire theatre of war. The rest of the English forces would come across over the ensuing months.

Even bought some sets on Friday night and sold them on Saturday. A few notes about the sale Friends were a hot seller. Girls really liked those and having a selection was important. Duplos also were another hot seller – could have sold more if I had them. I sold CHIMA!!!! - $281 worth. It was nice to move some of that. Enough to almost cover my sand crawler. Now that is an upgrade in my mind I ran for three days this year. Last year I ran for two and since it went so well I increased it to three days this year. Super hero sets did not sell this year. Last year they flew off the shelves. Never assume what will sell. Have a selection so they can go through everything. Collector sets hardly ever sell. Really, only sold two sets that reached “collector status” in both years I have done this. You can sell current sets if the price is right (falcon, shuttle, etc.) So, anyway I took my profit and put it towards the family vacation and started to reinvest the original investment. So far – I have purchased three brick bounties from a local mom and pop shop that still had them at retail (99.99) per, a sand crawler (which I bought for May the fourth), a Tyridium shuttle, a deep sea helicopter, a rhino vs. sandman, nether fortress, desert outpost, general Grievous, batboat harbor pursuit, helicopter pursuit (2), and a boulder blaster. My moral, if you can do it, those small sets do payoff if you can sell them en masse. My second garage sale allows me to do it. Not everything has to be sold as small sets but if you sell 50 of them then that profit and effort is worth it. My second moral, if someone is willing to buy Chima – Sell it!!! Sell it quick and when they come back to buy another $100 worth of chima don’t let them see you do the “I’m selling my Chima happy dance.” - JUST SELL IT!!!! In case you were wondering 60117 was given to my wife to give to a friend. I counted it as a sale but hat is why it is a Zero

Used - 10212 - UCS Imperial Shuttle (just missing landing gear and box) - EBay - $395 (earned $39.50 EBay Bucks)

Finally went out looking for this round of WM clearance. 2 stops (not all for me, I'm a good sharer): 2x $49 IST 4x $45 FOT 7x $19 Tie Adv Proto 1x $25 SD Lighthouse 2x $54 HL Shopping Mall 1x $11.88 Portal Level Pack Now I need to sell more so I can swipe the IACs when they get another round of clearance back to $30...left a few at $64

I found some really old sets from 1991-1997 in great shape at a garage sale 2 minutes from my home. I thought she wanted 40 for each set, turns out she wanted 40 for everything i also got some old ninja castle a space ship and jet and more pirate stuff I am still sorting.
