Hi Folks. I'll do the same as last year (copying Mos' original idea) to support the children of NJ's St. Paul School. For each "LIKE" THIS SPECIFIC post gets, I'll put $1 toward the raffle. Thanks, JA Is Online

vacation (FL) money.

OK, I got this one done and it's a nice addition to Airport Battle.

I have spent most of this year looking to replace my 10182 Cafe Corner and I lucked into an auction last week where I picked one up with instructions. I built it today and I was impressed that this person took great care to separate all of the pieces by color in individual bags. It's in excellent condition aside from the 4 missing 1x1 round plates for the roof. The Ghost Train patrols my hotel, it is haunted after all.

Impatiently waiting for the season premiere of "Star Wars Rebels"

Maybe we can post jaisonline's post up top so we can break him....MUHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

I know they are free and others mentioned this but they really look like my kids designed these from the mini figure bucket in the Lego store and forgot the accessories. I will still at least try to get the Warriors pack as my daughter tests for her black belt in taekwondo do in December and I can take the black belt torso and make it look like her

Ain't got time for that, still buying Tumblers.

Cue the "I just bought 50 hellicarriers" in the buying thread...

Paid $300 for an almost complete Monster Fighters collection. All that was missing was the Zombie set. Edit: the vampyre castle always gets destroyed in transport and is in another bin somewhere unless the kids got into it.

Kylo command shuttle .. Used the original kit.. Then added 40-50 extra black pieces a lot are minifigure base plates, black tiles and cheese slopes.. Took away a lot of the light grey pieces.. Added a Radar. Changed up wing tips . Redesigned front end. Covered rear showing technic holes on main cockpit area. It's a work in progress I guess.

It's make your own sale week at TRU.

We have our first generous BrickPicker, Emvisawthatswho, who donated a 40225 Rio Olympics Mascot set. I will include it in a large lot with other LEGO set donations. Last year, it ended up being one of the best raffles IMO. Thanks again...

awesome buy especially for the fun factor. were the manuals included?

Disney figures have retired in the UK. If you see them in the wild, buy them unless its from zavvi who charge £6 a bag.

I am on my way....

Sounds like 2 good reasons to retire it!

Mystery sets, huh?

Stacked bags, duh!

Just found this at Barnes and Noble

Built the UCS Tie the last couple nights... I have to say, what a fantastically repetitive build. My fingers are sore, the instructions were hard to read, but who ever designed this thing did an awesome job. Solid, detailed, HUGE but seemingly in scale with the Xwing. One complaint... Stickers. Why oh why do they make complicated stickers? I think I got them on OK but that stupid little red down arrow sticker might have been the WORST placed sticker ever. Makes the Maersk stickers seem easy.

Built some Jurassic World stuff today. The dinosaurs I be kept sealed as I intend to sell them in the future. I didn't apply most of the stickers because I don't have any plans for a Jurassic World display. T-Rex Tracker: Raptor Rampage: I just finished modifying the proportions of the RR vehicle a little bit for a possible reuse in a city setting in the future:

$30

I think that is reasonable to expect. Similar to series 2 of the Simpsons, where they made a rehash of Marge, Homer, Maggie, Lisa, and Bart, I would almost expect them to do the same with Donald, Mickey, Minnie, and Daisy.

You know what they say: nothing is certain in the world except death, taxes, and LEGO SW remakes

so we get yet another landspeeder, desert skiff and y-wing. no jabba's palace though. i still think a refreshed JP is around the corner; it will just be w/o the mosque-like design.

The following sets are backordered at EU SAH and I think they could all be done by the end of the year. Shield Helicarrier, 42030 Technic loader, Trevi Fountain, Jokerland, Mystery Mansion (whole line), Indominus Rex (whole line), TBBT, McLaren P1 (whole Speed Champpions S1 line)

Saw these at a local TRU today, $19.99. Wouldn't ring up, so manager had to override. He said it looks like someone put an item out before it's release date when the cashier asked why it wouldn't ring.

Ooh, the Mystery box. Everybody likes that.

Hmmmm... I see nothing built yet.

I personally think based on current deals the 70592 Ninjago Salvage M.E.C. would be the best ninjago set investment wise, it's at £19.07 45% off. It's a great build and has very good reviews. That being said, I'm personally not investing in ninjago as trying to avoid that theme plus nexo knights, friends sets as much as possible. Lighthouse is a good set but don't think there's much opportunity for qf as it's already discounted so many places in uk and it isn't a set that is in high demand

Ordered an Ewok Village from Target. I used $85 in gift cards.

After missing out on last week's Cogsworth TRU build event because of soccer and dance class , the kids were able to attend today's event with minutes to spare. At 1:20, about 10 sets were left (already bagged for us). My kids were able to get 1 each and the employee allowed dad 1 which Upon checkout, I saw one of the element dividers near the trash bin and asked if I could keep it (my TRU uses 2 per event). The mgr said "sure". here's pic of the Lego element divider bin and instructions.

Since you work so closely with the school, I assume, you can maybe try something like this for the parents. My daughter's private school auctions off 2 designated parking places for the school year. Great for avoiding the patent pick up line. That, and Amazon gift cards were the two best sellers at her school.

I knew exactly what to expect as soon as I saw the title. Was not disappointed.

Death Star Final Duel at Walmart clearance for $19. App showed out of stock, stock checker website said limited availability. Found one in the Clearance aisle.

Price not found. Hard coded not to be sold on or before the 30th.. There goes my quick flip opportunity

I had a few orders of those too.

Is that a drive-up window at the post office? I've never seen anything like that, in my life.

Couldn't resist. The box was to sexy

LordofLego, Love the photos...that's pretty creative!

And so it begins.....

How did you like the build? It was my first modular, and although some have maligned it, I was hooked.

Finished building a set I wanted for a long time: I Bricklinked this one last year and just now had time to put it together. Out of 2767 pieces, that I have carefully counted multiple times, I was still missing two. I could tell I messed up the inventory somewhere because I had one extra tan 1x8 brick (missing a 1x6) and one extra 1x1 white plate (missing a 1x1 white cheese wedge, insert DS joke here). Will check inventory and put them into the model. Next is to figure out whether I want to keep it or sell it.

It reminds me of Brum (uk people will get reference...I hope lol)

Sat on 50 TB's I feel like an idiot I'm patient and can wait no problem but 50 heck I don't even know if I'll turn a profit
