Open for business! I loved this build. Looks great in the modular setting. Ferris Wheel is next, excited to see how they look together.

My son finally finished off the Seacow. Our first ever ship and , I have to say , I'm very impressed. Love the colours and the ship design. So used to SW grey and black , it's great to see other colours in a set . Much bigger than I had imagined when the hull pieces were first put together.

We moved late last year, so the city has been able to expand: Couple of fun close-ups, Avengers: Grocery War Fantasy courtyard:

We just finished our Carousel, too. I'll add a couple of what the 3 fairground sets like like together (plus a petting zoo, Friends cotton candy stand, etc.) (sorry about the poor lighting): Also built the new Wonder Woman set (and added some other Justice League members to the fray):

Because, you know, that would be unrealistic...

one of my best ebay message exchanges ever. we can't even make this stuff up. total fruitcake. happened 3 months ago. i was the buyer for a diagon alley set. - Sent by me at 7:47pm. "Hi. I just paid and did read your auction summary, A couple of missing pieces is fine. I take it that all minifigures are included? I also assume the lego retail box will mailed inside a shipping box for protection. Please let me know me know before mailing this set. Thanks," - seller's reply 11:34pm - "Dip those on some oil the shlt will get you faint" - my follow-up 12:24am- "What?" - seller's reply 6:07am - "I am so sorry for that message I was under the influence last night and I confused my eBay messages with my text messages. I would like to apologize for saying those words to you" - seller's reply 6:09am - "Yes it's all in the box and it will packaged as well" ha ha

I finished this set yesterday, new favorite set. It's fantastic as a model, and yuuge.

Target: 204-00-0933 Toys R Us: 282741 Walmart: 55231379 Barnes: 673419277150 (UPC)

FYI sold 20ish birds sets in 3 days FBA for ~$56 if anyone wondering velocity of this set Buy in was $35 or less so did pocket some but not a lot. I needed the $1k

Through bag three. Love the build so far. Much closer to a technic set than a modular building. The rotation is smooth and ties in with the animal movement nicely. It's an excellent design. Ticket presale is open, line is down the block

Goes great with Aquazone stuff

Lately every chance I'm near LLDC, I go in to buy the same thing. Today was no different. yellow submarine for $48 plus $4 corncob guy (always smooshing for him or for rocket boy but so far only corncob guys found) to reach $50 and get free r3-m2 droid polybag. May be little early investing in this ideas set but hard to beat that price after selling droid poly.

sold my last Architecture Empire State Building FBA for $64.69, buyin $15. thought i had gone deep with 20 of these. nope not enough.

Found a retired Milano on clearance. Got it and a couple Mixels with the 35 for 50 voucher, 5% coupon, and points.

@ megacon in Orlando in line for Stan lee. Want him to sign this

I don't know, The Ghost is starting to become a real fan favorite and if they can make an AT-TE which was only in 1 or 2 episodes, I don't see why they wouldn't release another Ghost. They even release obscure sets like Anakin's Custom Jedi Starfighter which afaik was only featured in a cartoon from 13 years ago.

I just finished 8037 Anakin's Y-Wing. It is part of a large Star Wars lot I picked up a few months ago. This is the first build I haven't enjoyed since getting back into Lego. It was repetitive and I'm fairly confident that the engines will fall off if I look at it the wrong way!

No. Your memory is accurate. Bea is just a force ghost now while Betty is the Last Jedi

Non English speaker, leaving positive feedback, but not quite spelling “nicely wrapped" correctly. The w and second p, make all the difference.

Due to Walmarts clearance the signs are now apparent to what's about to get the whacking.. This is taken from my years of watching the walmart clearance go on, and for the sets that were discounted actually retiring the following late fall. The cycle goes on.. plus many of these follow the pattern of retirements. I think these star wars sets are gone by Black Friday (that lego.com sale that usually signals the death knell to retirees).. Out of all of these, I think there are only a few that are good investments. 75099 - Rey's Speeder 75101 - FO Special Forces Tie Fighter 75104 - Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle (Kylo Ren's Tie Interceptor is on the way -easy replacement) 75131 - Resistance Trooper Battle Pack 75132 - First Order Battle Pack 75137 - Carbon-freezing Chamber 75139 - Battle on Takodana 75145 - Eclipse Fighter 75148 - Encounter on Jakku 75151 - Clone Turbo Tank (Guarantee this one is gone) 75157 - Captain Rex's AT-TE I think two of last years Rogue One sets will get the axe, and I think it's these two, due to the clearance i'm seeing: 75154 - Tie Striker 75152 - Imperial Assault Hovertank UCS retirement 75095 - Tie Fighter (This set is gone.. it's been backordered on lego.com and out of stock at other sites. It may get one more wave, and then be retired.. I think it easily goes before the Slave 1)

Yes. You buy the one on the right a wedding ring & one day the one on the left magically appears.

Saw this MOC somewhere on the web and thought it was great so decided to recreate it...

Today we had a family day out in London to visit the DC Heroes - Art of the Brick. The models were so impressive, definitely worth a visit for those that are local. Here are a few snaps:

Your son is clearly a superior pilot. If I were building a fleet of these things, the Republic would have lost the Clone Wars!

It would also would have made sense to keep the 75054 AT-AT around when releasing an UCS Hoth set.

Ha, really? Applying logic to a fantasy film set in space where all the aliens speak English and a planet sized star base is destroyed because of a design flaw.

Used 8039 Republic Attack Cruiser for $202 shipped (bought as part of a bulk deal on Craigslist) New 75021 Republic Gunship for $260 shipped (bought on OfferUp for $100 on Friday) New Guardians bundle 76019, 76020, 76021 for $169 pickup from local buyer (bought for $60 on various clearance) All eBay. Not Amazon money but felt good to get some stuff flipped over the holiday weekend.

FYI, I checked 4 Barnes and Nobles, 3 had 1, and another had 2 (since Friday) all on hand. Toys R us is carrying 2 each incoming. Target will carry it, found their DPCI by scanning the UPC and no one had any. Barnes and Noble in store can order it from their internal book master website also, just call a store. Ok I'm done for the evening. LOL

careful! i see tabby boy in the back waiting to cut in line. i was wondering where he went:)

Just made my f'en day. Checked Barnes before a Toys R us run and asked them to scan the UPC. One in stock, 10% off to boot. Got the Racer for $2 as well. :-D. Ok I'm giddy.

That's BB-8, which is supposed to come in the same sized box as the Imperial Shuttle Tydirium... 75179 is supposedly Kylo's Interceptor.. .which usually fits the price point of tie fighters.. The two sets that are unknowns is the 29.99, and 49.99... Luke's in one of those, i'd assume.

Come on, Kmart! I'm playing with fire here. Let's get some new sets in! Or remove some Hot Buy tags... Or a sale. Something!

Something like this? I did it for a while for SH and SW, but stopped, as i didn't find it really helped all that much. Whilst it was useful in understanding price bracketing and to some extent marketing strategy and value (GBP/USD/EUR don't align so it's possible to spot under/over regional pricing – and where discounts are likely to occur). What it didn’t show was set availability as Lego EOL dates are largely meaningless with stores in the UK holding EOL stock at RRP for up to a year after the Lego EOL date. Edit to add: I pulled all the data from brickset manually

I bet it was this dufus. ID-10t

Great film? Yes. "Cult" film......

I dont think they will affect 75054 and 75055 that much - they are different models and differently named

Cool, remakes of both ISD and AT-AT. Race to the bottom is now on for 75054 and 75055. I wondered why there was an uptick in listings of these in the last few days.

Yer funny, here's my current first page listings in OfferUp. No joke!

I need another 100% back on Smart Sense products. We're finally running out of kitchen trash bags.

Until I put up some suitable shelving the only place I can display this is in my office. Anyway I've finished the fleet. "Send the fleet to the far side of Endor.... there it will stay until called for"

Cool little build

Found this inscription and numerous petroglyphs on a quick hike this morning. It's hard to read due to the bullet holes but I think it says G. F. Jarvis 1870. It's either George Frederick or George Franklin. They were early settlers in Southern Utah (and polygamists).

My office for the week, stage build, day 1

I sold another Joker Steamroller this morning. Price isn't important. What is important is that now I'm down to only 41 left.

Go to your email inbox (linked with PP), find an email with transaction confirmation for stamps or carrier (you name it) purchase and there you'll find reprint option.

Done, what a beast!

hard to see in pic, but holiday sets are all built

With everyone posting their collections earlier this week, I decided to post how mine currently looks. I am likely building the Porsche with within a few weeks so will have to move things around. Enjoy!

Moved this summer and had to move my whole collection. Took some notes just in case anyone could use any tips when they move their Lego. Now I have a whole shed dedicated to my lego building/collecting, and other hobbies. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/416912
