  2. Moved to a new house over the weekend. Contemplated disassembling 10030 but decided to move it built. Thankfully, it survived the trip. The only pieces that came off were a couple feet on the stands. I added additional inner frame brackets during my build years ago so that helped with stability.

  4. I've been wondering why the price of these has been so low on Bricklink; I'm glad I checked this thread. There are some great parts in this series for resale. The female hair has been a steady seller for me: I'm buying Harley Quinn to stock up on her valuable bright pink hands. It's forced me to find creative ways to move those torsos:

  10. Finished. Well I guess I need to see the movie as there is a lot of build here that I have no clue what it is. Besides being an amazing display set, it is very busy and seems to have something different to look at each time, there are some awesome modules that have great detail on the inside that you do not see unless you take them apart and explore, like Lloyd's apartment that just looks like a plain yellow building from the outside and the comic book store. It is not your classic Ninjago set and I still think ToA is my favorite in the theme. It is also not a classic Modular where you build one floor at a time, rather you build separate modules that attach to make up the floors. I think they did a great job of recreating the city from the movie using new elements, elements in new colors and existing elements in new ways, but will have to wait to see it. I am going to add the Ninjago green dragon 70612 tonight and some lampposts from the city chase 70607 should be arriving Monday. You get a lot for $300 with over 4860 elements, 16 minifigs, sweep and 2 suprise figs that are part of the build.

  12. First time posting, but I have been lurking for a while now. I recently re fell in love with legos after building the Saturn V rocket. I was so amazed at the build and how every thing went together so perfectly. I immediately wanted to display it in my Man cave. After I did I started thinking about my other cool things I wanted to display. My collection of 100 amiibos that were just sitting in a bag came to mind. The rocket takes up a lot of room and I was wondering how I could display the rocket and all my Amiibos on the same shelf. I decided to build a 3-foot bridge that would go over my Saturn V. So far I have built a 2 level bridge and I have one more level to go to fit my 100 Amiibos on it. So that’s the back story, any advice or incite on my built would be greatly appreciated. My goal is to keep it looking like a bridge but also keeping it as a functional display. I was thinking of adding ramps to make it more realistic but, I am not really sure how to do that with the limited space I have. I already need to lower the bridge to fit on the 3rd level. I have been able to put 36 lbs on the lower level and it creaks but holds steady. I was impressed, but not sure if that’s good? I stuck with Mostly White, Black and Gray, the bridge is totally symmetrical bar a few off color variations. I kinda wanted it to look like the Tynes bridge but I have no idea how to make the struts or if they would even add any strength. Thanks for taking the time to read this and hope to hear from you guys. Wally

  18. It was only in a scene or two. All she did was haul scrap junk with it. It only seats 1 person, it's ugly, she didn't flee, rescue, or fight with it (because it has no guns). They made 6 billion of them as exciter pointed out. Where's the play or "cool" value? "Mommy can I have Rey's Speeder? I want to roam the land looking for junk parts to trade for an unequal amount of food." Cue Sanford & Son theme song. (:

  24. Not a set I've bought but got the instructions for Mirko Soppelsas UCS U-Wing MOC and ordered all the parts i don't have. Hopefully this will tide me over until 75192 hits the shelves. Not a cheap set of instructions to buy but the manual is a work of art and comes with a unique numbered tile as it's a limited release.

  26. It's doing terrible. After it retired it shot up to $450. Now it's 300-330. Investors late to buy caused the spike. I don't think that means anything for 70618. It's much cheaper than Sea Cow and a more traditional ship. Plus it should be easy to pick up at a discount. Sea Cow was rarely if ever discounted.

  31. 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.

  32. Watch out for dimensional shipping charges with UPS and FedEx. Paypal/Ebay will *NOT* take this into account and will just quote you the cheaper base rate. You will need to go to their (= FedEx or UPS) dimensional shipping calculators and enter your dimensions and weights to get a more accurate shipping quote, and keep that in mind when you print the label. I had a long battle with EBay CS over this (for which I finally, after many calls) got reimbursed through an EBay voucher, when I was quoted $11 for shipping a big set but the invoice came back at $27 thanks to dimensional weight. So be careful and do the prework before purchasing any UPS or FedEx label.

  33. You have to print UPS labels through Paypal or another means, they're not integrated into eBay like USPS and FedEx so I don't use them due to the extra steps. FedEx doesn't charge for the label like USPS does. The total cost will be added to your monthly invoice, and it may differ from the estimated value that they provide when you are printing the label. If you're accurate on your weight and dimensions, you shouldn't see much difference between estimated and actual value. Make sure that if it is a residence that you have that option checked, I believe that is the default now, but it didn't used to be. Insurance is up to you and your risk tolerance.

  38. That is exactly what I been trying for the past week, doing a thorough inventory ... so far I found 2 grand emporiums , 2 haunted houses and two 10225 R2-D2, that I was not aware they were still there and I can not find a HP the borrows and a 41999... overall I guess the finds offset the losses ... ?

  45. Bought 2 a while ago when they were -40%, built them, and modded them. Raised the arc by 2 1/3 to fit a train through, raised the pilars by 3, and took out all the moving parts. Shortened it to 80 studs to fit well into a Lego town, train running in between the modular houses (Pet shop works well here at 16 wide)
