My wife and I built the Destiny's Bounty over the weekend (I got through bag 2 and she kicked me off & did the rest). First time she has built a set herself (almost).... It's a beautiful set, most detailed of all the lego ships imho. I sat it next to the Imperial Flagship once I got it to work. The Flagship is still my fav but this easily beats out the potc ships. Can't believe I have a Ninjago set on display! Highly recommend this one.

Here is my Halloween display. Was going for a neighborhood with trick or treaters.

Won the lottery for NYCC Lego Star Wars Brickheadz. While there, Wildcard Toys was selling the SDCC exclusives so I got those as well.

My boy and I built a couple of polybags

Hudson’s Bay has a “Canadian Cyber Monday“ sale on today only with 20% off many Lego sets including Lego Boost which I’ve not seen discounted as yet... Newest Ninjago and Star Wars sets also included, but it looks like they don’t have Destiny’s Bounty.

Marathon 3 day build to complete the Falcon! Total build time was around 20 hours and was actually a really straight forward build, nothing too complicated just lots of parts to look through for each set of bags. Really stoked - the ship looks amazing!

Just used successfully last Thursday. Will have to see how this evolves.

Promo that starts tomorrow is actually a polybag.

Good luck

TRU here seem to be trying to enter Chapter 11 equivalent too. Last week they screwed up their web pricing and had a few exclusives like Big Ben and DS at up to 70% off RRP, whereas Friends Grand Hotel got a DS price of 500 euros! I don´t know how many people were able to take advantage of the mistake as most of the cheap stuff was sold out by the time I saw the prices.

Thanks, picked up a boost for the kids.

Here...take IT by Tim Lydy

What was early or improved about the DS remake? AoH is pretty much a remake compilation of other sets anyway.

Buy 1 Get 1 Free shipping supplies at Fred Meyers in the Pacific Northwest. I got two, 3 packs of Tartan shipping tape for 5.99. Other coupons can stack as well.

Lucky you. At least they are making you whole right? problem occurs when they are eating your items. at least my problem has been particular DC so I just leave the shipment open and never send it there.

You rock!

Managed to basically get the mount to fit, it wasn't without it's issues.. Here's the mount and construction used for 10179: Main problem with 75192 and 10179 is that the frame won't match the two L brackets, these brackets hold most of the weight, so i need them both to rest on the frame (gap illustrated below) I did already add a large technic beam, otherwise you would see straight through the model on the left bracket. So i made a simple fill in with technic beams and plates: Put in place (view from top and bottom): I didn't have to change too much on the mount itself, the technic liftarms had to be moved around a bit, and i had to add a few more plates to the underside to make all the technic holes and pins line up properly. In the end this is what the "finished" mount looks like: And finally here the falcon is fully attached to the mount and sitting on the table with all landing gear off the ground, center of gravity is good, and the frame isn't bending terribly and no parts are popping off yet. Next step will be to "gravity proof" the set, as many of you know most of the panels and such and held in place by gravity, if turned on it's side some of these will fall off. Simple fix for many of the panels, but the center gun turret section will need to be completely redesigned as i don't have room to slot on the Technic liftarms it's built with, and the construction is a SNOT technique, so i'll need to do some brainstorming. Enjoy your thanksgiving weekend Canadians!

i have sold the new opening store set for 150+ and this is similar. once it hits general availability though this price will drop substantially.

Hi all. Lurked for a long time but finally stumbled upon a deal I didn't first see here first so I figured I'd post and maybe contribute for once. Shopko.com has all three 2017 Advent Calendars - City, Friends and SW - for $18.88 each. http://www.shopko.com/catalog/search.cmd?form_state=searchForm&keyword=Lego+advent Shipping sucks but there's a code for free shipping for orders over $99 Had honestly never heard of Shopko as they've apparently never crossed into PA, but at that price, especially for the SW calendar, I wasn't about to pass it up. What could go wrong? Note, I've also had some beers tonight which could be playing into my optimism.

I think for Lego, sets like Saturn V doesn't actually offer much in the way of profit. It’s more about giving back to the Lego community by creating cool sets that are inspired by Lego fans and are not actually attached to any theme. The opportunity to create long-term value for Lego is not there in these sets and not worth the extra production cost to increase the amount available for sale. This is just an opinion, I am not an investor or speculator, just an AFOL who enjoys building.

Picked this up in Mexico while on business - new sealed $135

New for £300! One of the seals has loosened off, and the box has sagged, but I'm very pleased with this.

Easy ... 41101 hasn't retired yet, 41058 retired over a year ago

Work has calmed down a bit so cracked open this little guy. Great build and some great play features. Looks good next to his buddy.

Who proofread this article??? A simple math would tell you that the majority of the debt did not come from the toy manufacturers.

Interesting video / opinion piece on why TRU declared bankruptcy.

yes

Jang review up.

When sales start to taper off and the demand slows down. An intelligent business doesn't retire something that consistently sells out as fast as they produce it.... right now they're just printing money.

If you cover the sail completely with a wash cloth and set your iron to steam, the sails flatten out perfectly. I did this with my Black Pearl sails and they look fantastic!

Congrats to all the Voltron lovers. I was hoping for the diner, but ship in a bottle isn't bad. Venetian Houses....that looks to be my favorite of the next review.

these were fan made Brickheadz and look awesome. Hope lego adds more themes and figures to this line. https://brickset.com/article/29271/brickheadz-building-competition-reminder

I also bought several loose Jabba's Palaces to build a nice large version someday.
