Hi there guys, this is my first post and I am sharing with you my first ever MOC! I would love to know your thoughts as well as any tips, advice or guidelines to help me with future builds.The courtyard is a two set build of the official 'Battle on Takodana' set and can actually slide out from the front as its own piece.The forest to the side of the castle (representing where Kylo Ren confronts Rey for the first time) is also its own piece and can slide out if you want to use it as a separate element. The main tower lifts off as does the entire roof section on the left hand side revealing more tables, patrons and the performance area for the band.The turret on the right side is hinged and hidden inside is a bluetooth speaker that plays 'Jabba Flow' when its turned on.I have included the room where Rey finds Luke's lightsaber. To access the room there is a vertical sliding door and the roof piece lifts off too.To populate the Castle I have mixed and matched a few of my favourite characters from the Star Wars universe, some of which are not exactly movie accurate but fun anyway, such as Hera and Sabine from 'Rebels' recruiting new members to join their crew. Greedo in the back hoping to capture another bounty and lando enjoying a drink with Figrin D'an. As for the new characters I have custom made the Crimson Corsair and GA97 (although thats really just 21B with a new paint job!)Bazine Netal...And Maz's band (including the fender guitar Sudswater Dillifay Glon is playing)Finally I added some more plants and water as a bit of detailing.Overall I have tried to include as many elements from the film as possible whilst keeping some fun elements within the MOC. I have also used a mix of bricks and colours as I was trying to give the impression that the castle is very old and has been patched up over hundreds of years...hope that comes across and it doesnt just look messy?!Like I say this was my first ever MOC however now I have well and truly got the building bug it wont be the last! Hope you enjoy!

Hey guys, so I really enjoyed making my first micro landscape MOC (Jakku) so I decided to make a really iconic scene from the original trilogy and decided to make a Battle of Hoth MOC on a 16x16 plate.I tried to get all the iconic parts from the film into the MOC. Inspiration from a few various sources and a few twists of my own!The one thing I am aware of is that the snow speeder is completely out of proportion with the scene however I tried to make smaller models and they just didnt look right. Therefore I have tried to give the illusion that the speeder is flying high up above the battle.Im really pleased with how this MOC has turned out and would be great to hear any feedback or advice you guys might have.ps if anyone wants instructions for any of the elements I am more than happy to send across what I have.

Gone, buy, back, wtf, thx Lego.

from the look of the wheel I will put it all on black

That only gives us 92 years to sell through our stock, perfect!

Ed's not an undercover Lego agent. For one thing, he advocates buying to resell, and Lego corporate policy declares that to be a capital offense. For another, he is concerned about counterfeiting, which Lego thinks is A-OK. I also think he's just not that sort of guy. On a related note, I do have my doubts about some of the big review sites. Those guys remind me of stock "analysts", whose rating scale ranges from "Accumulate" to "Strong Buy!"

SC: Low stock: Panic! SC: Sold Out: Party! SC: Back Ordered: Pity Party!

We understand...

Jet.com actually sent me a 20% off coupon in the mail, so I was able to snag a 10248 - Ferrari F40 for $73 today.

To be honest, we do make money from affiliates, so there are times we push a few sets. It pays for the site. Otherwise, people would have to pay to keep the site operational.. We try to be fair on recommendations. I will not pitch the new 75159 or Assault on Hoth or any other crap set. I have standards.

maybe real dinos will be back by then. I double checked that, it's 2018

Still have a few minutes left to post this....

Folks. The owners of this site have repeatedly said that they just put the information out there and you can do with it as you please. You control your pocketbook and your actions so blaming the admins of this site won't get you much in the way of empathy from the regulars on here. You can follow the horde but I don't think that will get you very far in this game. Make a plan and stick with it. If your plan was to stockpile Sandcrawlers, then the information was put out that it just might be the next one to go so go ahead and buy your allotment. It's as simple as that. You'll drive yourself crazy and broke if retirement rumors dictate your investment strategy.

Yep...You figured it out. I am a LEGO shill. If a person needs to "clear anything out" then let me suggest moving onto another type of investment or speculation as some would call it. This site was developed around the idea of long term holding of sets and if you are a few months off either way, what does it matter? If a person is investing cash they need to support themselves in LEGO sets and "expect" a certain return in a certain time period to meet their needs, well I'm sorry to tell you that many will be disappointed. I would say there's a better than 50/50 chance this set disappears from retailer shelves before the end of the year, but as I keep telling people, LEGO adapts. I have been saying this for well over a year. Invest at your own risk. Don't spend money on sets that you can't afford lose or need to live on. One last thing...it's great that members share what they heard from LEGO employees, but who is right and who is wrong? There have been conflicting reports about this set (...and every set discussed on this site) from various LEGO reps. One says it's a goner....another it's coming back...another has no clue. My money is on the person with no clue.

Has anyone see this amazing stuff!!! http://m.blog.naver.com/mazingaf/220762045277 A guy in South Korea is making these..... But does not ship them because acrylic breakes during shipping

This site #'s or my calculations don't account for taxes, shipping, excessive tape use, packing peanuts, excess shipping weight from boogers, shipping to La La Land, Santa's Sleigh discounts or anything else. There is one constant data point...What a set is worth after a period of time from MSRP. To me, if a set is worth 50% more in less than a year...it is a winner.

I've never had any problem with goods damaged on arrival at Amazon, nor arrival at buyers home. I've had a half-dozen items lost or damaged while in warehouse at Amazon, and I believe in most cases, got NO proactive report or payment from Amazon. Usually going over my books, I would discover, "hey... I sent in 6 of those... they sold 2... now I have only 3?" I'd have to discover the problem, initiate the claim, and only then would get reimbursed... sometimes at a fair rate... sometimes a little less than fair (but whadaya gonna do?). So you definitely have to check and recheck your inventory at Amazon, keep track of what's sold, and what they should have... stay on top of things. Do not ship in items before they reach the sell price you can accept. I usually find that when I see an FBA price point I like, I send my items in, and 3 more sellers move in at the same time, and the price drops 5%. As the holiday season approaches, more sellers will be moving merch into Amazon and you can expect more competition on some items. I use Amazon principally for current or "just retired" sets. My Haunted Houses, Town Halls, etc, I sell on eBay (and Brickclassifieds).

Yeah! I'm on a roll.

Hey everyone, here is the first micro landscape I did. Its a very simple little MOC, only 16x16 and its actually based on the loading screens from Lego: The Force Awakens on the PS4 (for those of you who have played it you might recognise it?)I really enjoyed making this little model and I am quite tempted to do similar scenes for all the famous locations of the entire sage (any suggestions welcome!)Anyway as always be great to know your thoughts!

My order from Tuesday, code 27R6.

More importantly, when do we expect the remake?

I think his "overly positive" is just not being a jerk. The internet is full of jerks. I always encourage my kids to watch Jang because I know it's family friendly, even when being critical.

3 thumbs up!

I love how he tore apart AoH.

I bought a Sandcrawler for $240.00 cash off a local seller on the OfferUp app.

Finally found the missing piece in my snacking life..

well someone just accused ED of being a Lego double agent over there ... damn shipment of corn is late.

My advice if you are grandfathered in is to make sure to follow all rules and regs, take no shortcuts, and bend over for every customer. Your lego approved selling account is now extremely valuable and has the potential to make you serious coin.

It will be remade again with an all elderly cast.

There's 'hot' among resellers, and 'hot' among end users. I get the sense that 75059 is neither at the moment, but tipping toward the former. If few resellers buy it, it could do well based on scarcity alone. On the other hand, if enough resellers think that way... For now, I think the best course in Lego reselling is watchful waiting with the checkbook closed. Watching the 'progress' of 2015 retirees, Sea Cow excepted, does not inspire confidence in the future.

Waiting for season 7 of the walking dead. Hope it's better than the spin off.

Nicely done. I wish I was creative lol..I just build whatever the paper tells me to do!! Lol

It's hard to be excited at the official Lego set now. I'd rather pay 3-4 times as much for this version. Lego, please read this! Great job@dimnico

This is awesome and totally how I wish Lego would handle Maz's Castle. Heck, even if Lego did 33% of your MOC, the existing retail version of Maz's Castle would be light years better b

And now that it's after midnight on the east coast....

Well I just sold two 10188 in a market where it was never available , and with that cash I bought 4 SC's and still have $100 left.... who says 10188 was a bust? You just need to find the right niche.... ......

H to the yeah
