My son felt it was incomplete and filled it with ninja.

Ok - nobody who participated in the above conversation is EVER, EVER allowed to complain that EBay/Paypal fees are too high, even if they go up to 25%. You know it is too good to be true, and still you order. Unless you're just going to take your loss, you are going to get EBay/Paypal to make it right, which in the end costs us all money. Thanks.

I just want to say thanks again for letting me win a raffle. We just finished the Assembly Square, and this is probably my favorite 10 bricks ever in a set. The upper floor apartment is stacked with goodness.

Local sale -10 dimension packs. Variety of 5 level packs and 5 fun packs. Sold for 100. Buy in $10. All day baby.

Been looking to build a UCS AT-AT for awhile but Moc's have been too expensive with their rare parts, until the one Raskolnikov built. It's a great looking model. I have changed a few pieces and will be getting some 2x2 round tiles to put in a few places. Sorry for poor phone photo.

Quick update: I just got home with the bins. They weigh over 100 pounds and are very clean. So far, there are very few Mega Bloks and I have already confirmed a few sets from themes including Star Wars, Lego Movie, City Arctic, Scooby Doo, and Super Heroes. I am looking forward to sifting through all of this over the next few months. What I can't figure out will be great for free building. Thanks for your help. I will keep you posted on what I find!

I ended up paying $200 ($2/lb) and the lot was much bigger than I had expected.

The Vicious by Jin Kei

Inspired by last night's "Rebels" episode. I'm probably going to build a couple Y-Wings to go with it. Imperial Assault Carrier also made a noteworthy appearance last night too. Hmmm...

20% off retail from closing mom and pop 2x dilosphasaurus Jedi interceptor Hulkbuster Dragon sanctuary 3x dark troopers

Wow this episode was amazing. Some of the best Y-Wing action I've ever seen. And at the end we basically see how the rebel alliance starts.

My son built this today:

Just a couple examples, but he also said he'd buy Dragon Sanctuary's and other stuff if he could. After the 10th declaration of not buying anymore, you stop listening. It's very depressing to read through the old posts.

Photos aren't displaying for me.

I managed to get a Raptor Rampage and a Livi's Pop Star House at B&N. Though they were not on sale, I did get a GC from Raise and a 10% membership discount, bringing the price down to ~$95. Not the deal best or purchase ever, but I least I did not pay full price for these retired/hard to find sets. Discounts on sets like these are hard to find or non-existent where I live. A special thanks goes out to Sfcommando14 for his advice.

Why buy cheap MMs when you can get a new Boeing for $12 instead? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-10177-787-Dreamliner-New-in-Sealed-Box-dgedg-/252795912036?hash=item3adbcf7f64:g:F4MAAOSw32lYuS0C I can always find listings like these. Stop biting on this crap and try reporting it instead.

And this being the case (I know some will argue for looooong holds... but the risk of remake and low CAGR are real), Exclusives have gone from the most to least attractive "investment" plastic.

The Last Jedi has been revealed.....

I call this my "poor man's temple" My son received Tiger widow Island and dojo Showdown (70756) for Christmas. We're throwing a ninja themed birthday for him tomorrow and my wife wanted a Center piece. So I looked through my inventory, but I didn't have any thing large or nice enough. So I decided to MOC one using what we had. Not bad for 15 min worth of work.

It took me more than a week to realize that the U Wing has a very practical action feature.

Hey people, a couple things on the menu on this fine and cold Sunday: City-Town 60134 Fun in The Park-City for 25 CAD (50% off): https://www.amazon.ca/LEGO-City-Town-Park-City-Building-157-Piece/dp/B01CU9WX08/ref=sr_1_1?m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB Encounter on Jakku 75148 for 40 CAD (47% off): https://www.amazon.ca/LEGO-Encounter-Jakku-75148-Building/dp/B01CIGN3TS/ref=sr_1_10?m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB Super Heroes 76058 Spider-Man: Ghost Rider Team-Up for 12 CAD (52% off): https://www.amazon.ca/LEGO-Super-Heroes-76058-Spider-Man/dp/B01CU9X63G/ref=sr_1_4?m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB Enjoy!

I just can't the pull the trigger at 20%. Most small city has been very good to me, but I need 30-40% off for the risk .

$26 I think.

10x Green Arrows on eBay for $200. Considering my last few have sold for $60 on Amazon, I'll take an easy double+

What film were you watching my alternate movie guide had it as radical Jedi terroists attacking a goverment building.

This is the same as about 40 other auctions I have seen, the Red 5 X-wing £14.99, IST £14.99 and a few other things. I think they are managing to find old unused 100% historic feedback accounts to hack and maybe keeping the value low to avoid detection from Ebay but going down the quantity route rather than 1 high value.

Of course Tarkin survived the attack.. Duh!!!

They just copied the original The Magnifcent Seven, which copied Seven Samurai.

That's where "Rogue One" was refreshing.

in the US currently $130 on amazon with 49 sellers. I wouldn't be surprised if this thing hits $160-180 by halloween 2017 . i will begin to unload once we are north of $160. i'm surprised its doing as well as it is and kicking myself that i didn't buy a few more when shop at home had the scooby pack including this set and mystery machine on sale last year when there were promos. with sale and promos, it was over 30% off.

2 Zombie sharks included

its an anomaly ... that store probably just got to the pallet ... its retired and scarce in the wild ... that's easy money staring you right in the face ... if you have your quota you can walk, if not, think twice ...

Pizza pizza!

Let me guess - Once the ToO falls below RRP, you're out (again).

This theme best shows the effect that the horde of "min-emazers" had on overall LEGO investment performance. Everyone started piling in on the large exclusives (which have not performed so well), and started ignoring the small/medium sets (which comparatively, have done so much better)

Everyone was very excited when the Exo Suit was announced and they bought accordingly.

They are garbage and always will be. I've said so from the beginning and been rebuffed, but there's no movement to even reach original retail on any of these. Caveat emptor.

I figure what the hell. Even at their current low BL prices maybe they will be an impulse item for my other orders. I left 34 Gimli on the shelf. Not enough room in the cart. In the cart: 82 Simpsons, 39 Gimli, 11 Cragger, 12 Legolas

TheNewBlack - Autumn Tree by Jonas Kramm

Very impressive and amazing looking model. The BMW M4 DTM 1:10 racecar designed by brunojj1. I had collected and organized the pieces to build this model quite awhile ago but I wasn't sure about how to power it and control it. It uses 4XL motors, a servo motor and three sets of lights. The original design requires two V2 IR receivers and one regular receiver and three AAA or Lipo battery boxes. I was waiting because I was debating building this with the Buwizz which I ordered but it was delayed for a couple months. In the end, after getting a few more V2 receivers, I decided to build as per original design instead of waiting for Buwizz or using Sbricks. It is just too fast to try and control with a phone / tablet. Superb looking model. Sorry for poor pics with my phone.

Fun build!

The 75016 Imperial Assult Carrier is a little bland in my opinion. However, it contains a lot of useful grey bricks to design space sets. My first creation is an X Wing Fighter. It has adjustable wings, a compartment for minifig people, a large cockpit, space for the dark R2D2, and all from the original bricks except for the transparent stand bricks and plate.

Finished up the UCS Imperial AT-ST 10174. The kids and I are hooked on SW UCS sets at this point. Next up is the UCS Tie and then the UCS Imperial Shuttle. On this set, we loved the detail that they added on the outside with some of the unusual pieces that were used. We built most of it at my office where space is ubiquitous, and that made it a ton easier since it was a used set with all of the pieces mixed together. Definitely going to try to do that with the Imperial Shuttle as well. I do wish the set came with and At-St pilot, so we will probably BL a couple of those to put with the set. We also took a couple of pics with the new AT-ST 75153 and the AT-DP Micro Fighter 75130 (I don't have the 9679) for scale purposes. It is tough to tell how large this set is without some sort of spacial context.

OMG, so I was going through some old pictures and I found this gem from Christmas 2006. This is me, 8 year old Stud-Flipper with one of the first LEGO sets I ever got. It was early and I was very sleepy, and probably a little grumpy that I didn't get the batcave or joker copter.
