These shadow boxes are from michaels. Shelves are a combo of pine and lego.

Does anyone really think Jeff is leaving Swedish blondes to add state flags for us(a) chumps?

They'll be back...and in greater numbers.

OK, well, you talked me into it. One carousel on the way.

This is what we did with the Ribba frame from ikea. Bought full matt sheets from Michaels the craft junk store and cut them to replace the ones it came with. Hot glued (yup) 2x4 bricks to it. Fits 54 figures nicely.

Recently I got back from a duty in Nigeria and bought some retired sets for myself (thanks to the allowance). One of these sets is set 10027 "Train Engine Shed". After I received the set I dismantled it, washed the bricks and base plates and started building. During the building I found several parts were used which are not original and some parts were missing. Still need to order those. Nevertheless I am very very happy with this set. A great appearance and it looks great on display. One day I will use it for my future City. Luckily I found out the Emerald Night (another set I bought after my duty) cannot pass it due to the width. A major crash has been avoided . Cheers!

Another pretty looking ELVES set with a nice Dragon included: Review by JANGBRICKS:

First attempt at using rebrickable and brick link. Should have really stuck to building 1 model at a time but complicated life by ordering for 4 different models to save on postage. Finding some parts of both brick link and rebrickable more hard work than they really need to be. Here is my first moc, Anio's ST19 Sith Infiltrator. Still waiting on a few final printed parts and the sticker but happy with the result. Roskolnikovs large AT-AT is next up then the upgrade pack for 42056 and thanks to @thoroakenfolder I'm busy collecting parts for a 10134

Kmart closing - Day 1: I see a few differences from the last closing 3-4 months ago: - 25% on toys on day 1 - no paper/mobile coupons are being accepted and all clerks were adamant about this. - I loaded a mobile coupon to my account and it did not apply - deals like $5 in points on a $25 or $40 purchase don't apply - GCs and merch cards do work - signage everywhere says No coupons No way... I hope this is because so many BP'ers took advantage of some good deals last round:) - all cashiers were taking the coupons and throwing them away as they printed, as if they'd been told to do so. I asked to see mine and said maybe I could use it at another store. He handed me mine ($10 in points on a $50 online purchase), and another one ($10 in points on a $30 online purchase). If all of the coupons are for decent $$$ back for online purchases make sure to grab them. result - I made one test purchase of a Fire Dragon and smalls, and then one 76027 Black Manta Deep Sea Strike for $29.99 in points.

if it's ebay, there's the 10% ebay bucks going right now, that always gets the buyers going on stuff they are on the fence about. I know it works for me I sold my last Gingerbread House/Snowglobe combo for $100 yesterday as well.

darn i missed it!

I liked Pigs in Space best ....

$2 7 PM Wild Wins is on now. Should be good for one hour.

Non-fruitcake story. Bought and paid for a set. The seller inventoried before shipping, found some missing parts and offered several remedies. We agreed to a refund to cover the cost of BrickLinking the missing parts. Set shipped promptly. Set arrived and I discovered it was missing some parts the seller hadn't caught. The seller agreed to issue another refund to cover the additional replacement cost. Annoying to have to do some more work to get a complete set but at least the interactions with the seller were pretty painless.

If you want to do a state identifier I would suggest showing the state name instead of the flag. I barely know our own flag let alone other states. I bet I could pick out less than 10.

it's like a printing press of money right now, enjoy it

My daughter and I built 41593 Captain Jack Sparrow Brickhead on a daddy daughter date night last week, which she followed up with 41586 Batgirl Brickhead earlier this week after it went on sale at TRU while we were spending $30 to get a free battlepod. I am not a Brickheadz guy, but my daughter loves them!

In stock on Amazon again. Says 9 left.

Double bonuses appear to be active as well for now. I just called in an order and the travel companion set is showing up on my order summary.

?! You don't like this?

The image isn't showing in my previous post but 75158 Rebel Combat Frigate Retired Product Fingers crossed on this one

I don't know who I liked better when I was a kid (or even today) - Swedish Chef or Beeker.

It proved to be profitable as a quick flip and it still kinda is. People buying these up early for investment purposes are taking a risk .... as with all other lego sets. Tread water carefully. U wanna build it now? Go get one now.

He might be hanging out with the chef, getting tips.

I wont even talk about the $25 lot I missed after I got home from this getting this lot. I responded to the OfferUp post within 5 minutes of being listed.Lets just say I saw most of a UCS Sandcrawler and the manual... 9 large road plates an imperial star destroyer (6211), AT TE (7675) and a bunch of other sets...

It's all garbage. Send it to me and I'll refund you the $100 so you can save face......

Traffic was bad today in the Mojave.

Bittersweet sale last week. Sold my used 10179 for two bills. After fees, profit is $400. So basically, I was paid $400 to build and display the set for a nice amount of time. It Probably would have fetched closer to $2,800 if sold near the release of The Force Awakens. Some pics...

Hi all, Last weekend I visited a small Lego show in the South of The Netherlands: "Bricktopia". I made a lot of HD video's and some pictures. Unfortunately the pictures were taken with my Vintage Iphone so my apologies for the quality. I saw some great models and a very nice medieval scenery. There was a table where children could do some building, that gave me extra time to walk around . I hope you enjoy the pictures!:

What's the problem? My telephone cord reaches the computer just fine. So, I can talk on the phone at the same time.

Sold about 36 Imperial Trooper Battlepack minifigs for $125. Buy-in was around $90.

Black gate $109 ($19) FBA Sold a few phantoms for $80+ someone with 20 is undercutting at $64 and next lowest is $75. Don't understand that strategy at all

It was mainly on BrickLink - although eBay picked up as well

So this might belong in the complaint thread, but here it goes... I have had two consecutive complaints from buyers who had som bogus issue with something I sold. For example- i sold a doll trunk to someone who sells American Girl items, and they write to me that there are scuffs on the bottom. The pictures are some pink chalk that they put on the bottom of the trunk. Then they are complaining about the shipping price. Needless to say, they want a partial refund. What I want to write back is a bunch of explicatives, but instead I offer for them to return the item. Every time I have an issue with a buyer, it turns out that they are a reseller trying to get over on me. Scumbags.

You should be able to use the bulk listing tool to change the handling time on all your listings to 5 days.

What's your best strategy for dealing with a short absence (5 days) when it comes to your EBay listings? I don't have a store, and know of the following: - Pull all listings - Set all sell prices to some insane number in the hope that nobody buys - Leave everything up, and incur the ding for late shipping should there be any sales (I've sold through most of my fast selling stuff so sales have been pretty slow the last few weeks, maybe 1 sale per week) I'm likely going to just pull all my listings (even though that means missing out on the 10% EBay Bucks promo which is still active during my upcoming absence), but if there are better options I'd like to know ....

Yes, Cole´s Mech Fire Bike please!

Damn. I was hoping this one would have stuck around for a 50% drop. Don't like the ship but at 50% off would have been good for inventory building for SW MOCs.

Thank you for posting this information. I placed an order for 2.

There is a lot of hype about this set but i have no info of the scarcity over time. 2019 will be 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 if it lasts til then. I like this set, I'd bet the kids on this one.

So I got into a bidding war with someone over FB market and ended up getting this lot for $100. Guy was originally asking $60. From the listing I immediately saw Black Pearl pieces (sails, hull pieces). The lot is easily 100 pounds. Quickly going through I located 2 Queen Anne Sails ( I have a full set from last bulk lot I bought) and the Angelica figure (pieces for now) so I believe there is a Queen Anne's mixed in too. Here's are some photos. Could anyone help with what other sets might be mixed in. There are no instructions or boxes. The only nearly complete set was the Mil Falcon. I was able to quickly located then Davy Jones figure but haven't found his beard yet. Thanks a bunch.

I had problems with certain company's paints. Hasbro red and orange bleached but other companies didn't have the same problem. I would suggest that anyone who is concerned, use a part you don't care about to test. I did not have any problems with the few parts I tried that had stickers. LEGO stickers seem to be quite robust.

Best of the new Metallica album!

I just noticed when I tried to enter the Apollo Saturn set into my brickfolio, that the set number listing is wrong. 21309 shows as Old Fishing Store.

That building is so big, that it can rain inside. #formerspacecampcounselor

Stopped by the Lego store a while back with my kids and my daughter loved the Brickheadz, which kind of surprised me. She ended up buying two of them, and has been carrying the Joker around with her ever since (ha!). My son built the WU-CRU Training Dojo, which is a great little polybag.
