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.

"$2.31 savings 10% off purchase" is your "Thanks for shopping on Thursday" "TRUTh" discount.

Funny thing happened at TRU today. Walked in the store and most of the lego were priced at RRP, thought I was in the wrong store for a minute... also picked up a pair of Bane's Trucks + Battle Pods for $36 each.

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

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

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 ....

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.

15% off lego Batman sets with purchase of the bluray at Target. Tailgator is on sale for 55 this week. . .

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.

Little update. I did 7 order for the 400 part missing. Cost me 80 euros of part and something like 50 euros of shipping and fees... I think I have one order for 1,5 euros of part and 6 euros of shipping ? but that was the best I could do. I could have been smoothin the orders on more project and over time, but in the end I decided to go the fastest way and focus on this project only... All orders are on their way, I expect most of them to arrived by this week. So In total, I would have spend: 82 euros on the bulk listing of ~2000 parts on eBay plus 13 of shipping 42 euros on the sticker plus 4 of shipping (Bricklink Seller W44SHOP still has some, and the one I received was mint) 80 euros on Bricklink order for the last 400 remaining parts plus 5 minifig in new condition and 50 euros of shipping that would total for 271 euros which I think is a very good price. All the parts will be legit Lego part in the correct color (old grey color in the bulk were discarded) I will post a picture once assembled! Also, as I was posting before, I tried whitening some parts because, why not! I used a mix of Peroxyde Hydrogen and Washing Soda. I first put some lukewarm water just enough to submerged the lego parts entirely. Then I disolved a tea spoon of washing soda in it. Then I poured two table spoon of Peroxyde Hydrogen (mine was higly concentrated at 35%. Watch out for your eyes) I put it in the sun for about 2 hours, stiring and re submerging part every 15-30 minutes because from what I understand, the chemical reaction creates the little bubbles you can see in the picture which are CO² (carbon dioxyde) which makes the lego part floating... just a gentle poke every few and then to remove the bubble (especially from the bottom of the part) and voila! These are the part before. Some are very yellowed, other not so much on the top but more on the side Here are the same parts after a session of whitening... most of them look just as new (if you do not count the bite mark on them lol! ) I still have a lot to do, will start building soon, I think my biggest luck was to find the eBay bulk sale. thank you all for your input. Great Community!

Best of the new Metallica album!

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

My wife and son built this last week, they both enjoyed the build. A set I only bought to sell hence the 'ebay' photo. Quite an impressive finished product even though HP doesn't interest me.
