Today I sold a 75059 Sandcrawler via CL - thinning out some inventory to pay for recent Walmart clearance buys (and clearing space for those sets). At the end of the transaction, the guy says "Do you like beer?" I thought to myself "weird question to ask in this sale, at noon in a church parking lot" but I said "Uh, yea, a lot." He says "then I have some home brew for you." I say "does this involve me giving you back some of this cash?" He says "no, it involves me brewing way too much beer." So he gives me a 6 pack of 3 different brews with a spreadsheet of what they are. Says wait 2-4 weeks on the Voodoo Baby. I asked what if I really like one and want to buy more? He says "I can't sell it, but I'd trade for things like Lego." I told him I'd keep his email address just in case. So, seems legit, hopefully I'm still alive after drinking the first bottle.

I can't believe I'm typing this...my money is going to ninjago.

someone pretty famous is building the Disney Castle using all the incorrect ergonomics

Picked this up last night. All bags and the two sub-boxes still sealed. Tempted to build, tempted to flip. #brickpickerlife

This made me laugh. Very good!

We've been mentioning it to Jeff, repeatedly.

again, this is just my opinion. the out result is clearly not lego's fault. lego just followed the design art / stills given to them. heck, i'm sure the scenes with this super-sized "planet of the apes" AT-AT cool will be cool during the movie the lego model just looks like a regular AT-AT mashed with something that didn't make the Chima cut and then finished off with a michael bay inspired transformers bearded face.

Either everyone is having short term memory loss and rewriting messages they forgot they had already sent, or things are a little buggy round here today.

That hurts my back just looking at the photo

Yeah unfortunately not a rare find.

Those orders will probably be cancelled.

No, I got them early with rewards in some get rich quick scheme that never panned out

Probably my age, but it's Shere Khan in the Jungle Book for me. Every good baddie must have an English accent.

It's like wanting a horse but settling on a donkey.

still having trouble digesting it .

There are also some rumors that the bricks are 2.56 times bigger... I assume these should reflect it....

You don't say.

Going rate is now $200

It's the Ninjago Movie Fire Mechs, cooooool

I like how it looks and dig the gorilla look. To me it looks more menacing then the original AT-AT. It would be cool if in the movie the AT-AT stands on his back legs..?

I'm going to grab one since I missed the original AT-AT. I know I'm in the minority opinion but I do like how it really looks like a lumbering gorilla. Maybe it'll swat those pesky Rebel scum!

I am just trying to understand what the upsetness is about. Is it the design or that it was just another remake like the death star?

Yes. This was a gift with purchase at Toys R Us. They were priced at $6.99 each (I think) for individual purchase. There was a similar one for Nexo Knights as well (5004390), except that was a gift with purchase at LEGO.

I hear that they will be adding some flapping wings for the episode 9 version.

To me, it's scary how little imagination has been displayed by LucasFilm so far. Neaely every vehicle including this one is clearly based on something from the OT. This vehicle is another rip-off. Maybe the First Order found full factories and factories of unused Death Star, Tie-Fighter and At-At parts... As a Lego set, it looks too much like a Transformer. I'm passing.

Oh wow. I guess now I do have to consider the Force gripping master of darkness a Disney villain now. ....That just seems weird no matter how I try spinning it. Still I don't know though. I'm pretty sure Maleficent could kick his Sith ass.

email notifications down ?

I'm still figuring that out as I traded some sets from my stockroom (nothing special) and some other non-Lego items plus cash. All on all, when all things considered I got it for less than what people are paying for used ones.

Does DV count ? If not , maleficent is badass, dragon and all ... evil queen from snow white used to terrify me as a kid after she transforms .

This popped up on CL for $100 so I picked it up. Not a steal by any means but a cool set to have. May be good trade bait at some point. He had the 50 years of trains for $150 but I passed on that for now.

My daughter is performing in Peter Pan at a local theater this week. So we've had Peter Pan playing lately. Not the most politically correct movie, lol. Between Hook smoking, and "What makes the red man red?", oh boy.

Captain Hook is the man. Especially the Dustin Hoffman version

That's a tough question. Scar is the most evil in my book. Killed his brother and framed his nephew all for the sake of power. Pure evil. But my favorite? Jafar. He almost hooked up with Jasmine and that puts him up there with all the great villains.

Beer for LEGO. This is why I love Brickpicker.

I played one of those guys for a while one time. Eventually he just said something like "Trust me, this is legit." Then I let him have it ;).

I just received shipment confirmation on mine after numerous emails from them telling me I have to cancel my order because they didn't have any left. They didn't want to do it themselves, so they were telling me that I had to do it on my end. I guess they found their inventory.

Go Canada! Found at Wal-Mart.

Did i say its double MSRP already? 54.00 vs 110

We watched this Sunday night and Hoffman definite has fun in the role. I agree that Scar is the most vile but my favourite villain is Ursula. She also has a good song and the fade out at the end of one her scenes is very creepy.

And, I do consider myself to have gotten lucky. I stumbled across these sets at my local Legoland Discovery Center, where they have a lego store, but follow their own rules. Pretty much, the one-and-only-one rule, out the window. I was able to buy several of these copies, and with a membership discount, got some at 10% off. Also, I was able to get 3 copies at 20% off using their after 5 purchases of $25 or more get the next purchase at 20% bargain. So, yes, I bought in under retail value, so I'm cashing out and making quick cash. And I'm not complaining one bit.

I'm thinking the same. I don't expect it to be bigger, but "denser", so more details, a more sturdier build and heopefully a built-up interior of sorts. The exterior size of 10179 is really about the limit of wha's sensibly handleable.

Screenshot from twitter link! They're really milking this. What next. The number of bags or inner boxes? So a manual of just under 500 pages. Original was about 315 pages. So doesn't look like a remake. Maybe the interior is being included.

I think this is a deal site more geared toward women/mothers. My wife was familiar with it, even had an account. She says they're legit, but her judgement is forever suspect since she married me.

I finally finished up UCS Artoo after a week of 1-2 bags per night. I really enjoyed the build and love the final result.

Figuratively, not literally

I don't have a PhD in Math but it definitely sounds correct to me
