It all started with one of our fish having babies. We separated them in a breeding tank for a couple of days. But that was not enough....my wife and sons teamed up on me and begged for a bigger tank. Next thing I knew...we had decided to not only get a bigger tank, but also decided exactly how we wanted to decorate it. We love our Lego displays, and this was just another creative way to add to the collection. What the hell...right?!! Great build! Very fragile! Great display piece!

Snope's bathrobe is great for my Playboy mansion MOC ... I've already got Heff and the Bunnies from the TLBM minifigs ....

Those are some nice stilletoes.

The first review is up. Few interesting things despite the fact that it's absolutely beautiful! It's a third largest LEGO construction in history. Many many new pieces in new color, some of them are extremely rare. The Bricklink Value Per Piece may quadruple the RPP price. Not a huge fan of Ninjago theme and movie, albeit the mixture of far Asian steam punk style with futuristic "total recall" resemblance makes it a no brainer to me.

FBA- 2x city arctic base camp for $142 ea 4x Indominus rex for $245 ea. 4x Trex trackers for $130 ea.

Well, until they didn't...

Ah yeah....

Looks like GoldMember @ 80-90 years old.

Did not find what I went in for, but ended up with a nice surprise! 1- Cindy Castle for $17 2- GB Ecto 1&2 for $30 All boxes are pristine, if we don't count dust!

Dinosaurs rule!

In honor of mustache-gate:

if anyone is waiting for the Crafting Box 2.0 to come out Aug 1st, Toys r us has it out early.... just got one for ourselves to take on our beach trip vacation, this should keep us very busy when idle in the hotel room.

Just checked an online tracker tool and it appears that someone bought up the (4) GB Ectos that were sitting on the shelf in my local WM. I was waiting to see it they would drop further. (moving on)

Eh

75158 SW less then a year production run, Exclusive Ahsoka fig, TRU exclusive. None left in any of their DC, no new inventory since 3/15/2017 so what is left in store is it. Can still place orders online that will ship from store. Also rumored by @exciter1I believe to be at every gift shop in Disney during SW celebration. 70323 Last I looked not available from any major online sources store stock only probably more

Do I put "like", "haha" or "confused" to your post?

DCPI please?

Ooookay...

I think it will look nice with some algae on it.

I would go for slow flip. At this point Dec 1st looks like a good date to try to sell. I am guessing if they have them, they will be gone after black Friday, and then skies the limit. 27R7 for the one I ordered from LEGO Shop at Home a few days ago.

Nice mech. Like the car but less than I thought before building. Great builds though for a set that retails at $29.99 Iron Man: Detroit Steel Strikes set #76077

That is outstanding. Love it!

My 4yo called him Clay Face Poop attack.

The Wonder Woman store event. Not impressed. Just handed a cup and told to go to the corner like an animal lol...

Spent most of Monday sorting. Was thrilled to learn everything is Old Grey! Spent most of last night building! (some "building" paraphernalia has been redacted for the children...) Holy x32 Greebling Batman! Scored for $240 CAD all in, sold erroneously as a 6211. Should I file a SNAD?? ?

Man are you trying to stir things up or what. No way TLG is stopping this money printing machine anytime soon.

My son and I are on a tear and we built TLBM Clayface set. Love it! Next plan is to mod the arms to actual articulated fingers. Someone on EB shows how to do it without using any additional parts.

On a lighter note. I was in Walmart today (I know how strange right?) Picking up some items and these two kinda rough looking late 40yr old guys walked past me on the LEGO aisle. I had "collected" several small sets and they were in my cart. Went one aisle over to check out the "friends" section and heard them say, "Did you see that guy..... he had like 5 or 6 of all the same set in his cart?" When I got to the checkout (outdoor lawn and garden) those two same guys were in front of me. They were buying the Batcave Break In. (just one) Gave me a chuckle.

Yes, he has a scab jar.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) by Letranger Absurde

You want full sets only, unless you can definitely pick those up, I wouldn't bother.

We sold a larger lego set on ebay last month and used them to ship it fedex across county. Ebay quoted us $31 which we used and then this month we were actually billed $66 for the shipment. We have not used ebay in over a year but had a promo so figured we would give it a shot. We will never use ebay to ship fedex again. Don't have the time to try and pry a $30 refund out of an ebay customer service agent. Probably won't use ebay again for another few years but when we do I will use our own fedex account directly. Just be warned their upfront quote may only be half of what you actaully get charged on the backend.

70618 Destiny's Bounty - $205

Since none of these sets have Leia in them, I am holding out hope for a huge increase in demand (around Christmas) for 75140s. Perhaps this smelliest of turds will do well after all.

75171 Battle on Scarif is ~40% off. $39.97 47 left atm.

This morning at wm for 50% off

Ares from Woman Woman Warrior Battle. I didn't buy the Marvel set with the large minifigure so this is my first time building one. Nice build. Legs have pretty much the same range of movement as a regular minifigure. The arms are on ball joints so even more range of movement is possible. There are stickers for the toro that I didn't apply. The face is one piece and is printed (only printed piece in the build). Here are some pics showing how the legs, arms and head work.

The only set that would make Town Hall like waves is if they retired Assembly Square this year or next.

This is a interesting set. I had a family member ask me to keep my eye out for one and to pay me back. They rarely ever buy a set. The last set they bought for their own collection was Indiana Jones sets when they were in Wal-Mart's. This set is one of those once a decade sets.

Built the Rebel Transporter to compliment the medical Frigate. Next is Mortsevs Tantive IV and the hammerhead

I receive instant email notifications when there's a new post in this thread, but that means I also get notified of those almost hourly automatic posts from Max Profit. It's becoming a pain. Any way we can get them reduced without affecting notifications for other posts?

A lil Music store moc by Michael Considine

Stegosaurus

Found this today

If the buyer reads that whole paragraph, I'd be mighty impressed. I couldn't get past a couple lines before my eyes started to wander and my brain started saying "ack." I mean this respectfully, but if you don't want to claim the set is 100% complete, avoid using "100%" anywhere in your description. We all know buyers don't read descriptions. Keep it simple... "Adult owned, not guaranteed to be complete - i.e. it may have missing pieces and I did not verify the included pieces against the parts list. In good condition and will be shipped partially disassembled." Nobody cares if you built it (though some do like the adult built part) or had it in a closet for a year. ALSO - You really should ship disassembled unless specifically requested by the buyer. Greater chance to have stuff bounce around and get scratched up. If I opened a box with a bunch of partially built sections and some loose bits, I'll likely be frustrated right from the start trying to figure out how to build the damn thing (or that I have to take it apart just to get the build enjoyment).

LL351 Conquest

I think it's sold out online pretty much everywhere now. It was 45% off from Target and Amazon for awhile this month. I flipped several dozen of the first Destiny's Bounty for ~$50 profit per set. A set doesn't have to double to be worthwhile, if it's big enough and you buy at a substantial discount from MSRP. As boats go, I like this one a lot better than the last Lego pirate ship.
