The Brick Classifieds site will be shut down very soon as I will be bringing it into BrickPicker. There will be new sets of rules on how listings are to be posted and payouts to help try and prevent scammers. I will be sending a message out to all vendors on Brick Classifieds just so that they know that their listings will no longer be viewable on that site. The new section on Brick Picker will be simple, yet better in so many ways compared to this site. I will make an announcement in the near future.

40177 cool little poly bag.

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.

Some kind of old train station

Apparently included with this set is a free cat lounger. I'll remember to put away my box next time.

I didn't realize this was Tabby. I think the LEGO Gods are telling you to stop or really retire

I'm gonna need some more holy water to douse on those of you that are talking smack about rogue one!

the $10 promo probably excludes LEGO construction sets as well.

R1 is a go to Star Wars Movie in our house. I do think Jyn is a compelling character, along with the immediate crew.

Don't know if this is fuel to the fire but my extended family got all three we tried for. Before anyone gets up in arms they were all separate VIP accounts from my family members. They just knew I really wanted more than one.

I built the Lego Atlantis undersea portal. A very unloved theme, but a really nice build. Grandparents got it dirt cheap, and the kids love it.

My boy and I built a couple of polybags

Cannot like this enough. R1 was the best Star Wars movie since Empire Strikes Back. Yes there were fan service moments but they all made sense given the connection to New Hope and were generally not intrusive. Force Remakens was such fan service that they recreated a movie people loved rather than try to do something different. I was really enjoying it solely on account of the more adult tone compared to the prequels and the earnestness of the new actors right up until the Death Planet appeared on screen. At that moment I felt my stomach sink as I knew exactly how the movie would unfold. I laughed at that scene where the resistance dude replied to the comment about the Death Star by instantly bringing up a picture of the Death Star compared to the Starkiller to show how much bigger the latter was - like he has that file handy right there 30 years later just in case. It's not copying because it's bigger dammit!!!

Today I ordered the first batch of parts for my next big project off of BL. One order down, probably several more to go. What's the project you ask? I'm BrickLinking what will eventually be a heavily customized version of everyone's latest favorite piece of eye candy; the 75192-1 Millennium Falcon. Currently I'm having excellent luck at it, as due to the sheer size of my existing Lego collection I already have between 55-70% of the parts needed for it. So far have spent roughly USD $48.10 on the build. Firmly expecting that to jump as things progress.

It is a sign of LEGO being cheap. In previous years the classic minifigs bonuses (pirate, astronaut, castle soldier) came in small good looking & sturdy boxes

...finally the map is done... by sanellukovic

Ninjago does not have the fanbase that SW OT has. Don´t expect miracles with this, or any NM set - just expect deep discounts and buy one for personal enjoyment.

don't worry soon the polybags will be air pillows. Been getting more and more with overinflated amounts of air. Also some rather large cases compared to the older compact ones

I had a really fun time upgrading to a professional account. Did they ask you to verify your identity? I upgrade to proffesional every fall, and this is the first year I had verify my identify. All my inventory was stranded until I sorted it all out. My steps were sending in my driver's license and bank account. This was all rejected until I updated my credit card expiration date. Then my bank account statement was still rejected until I sent in a seven page bank account statement. They seemed to like that I can finally sell. It took a few hours for my inventory to become un-stranded. It might worth a call see if there is block on your account when you upgraded. It took me 2 weeks to get it straight.

In a couple weeks go through the reconciliation process.

Mount is on the wall! It's not perfectly level, but this hammer drill isn't exactly the easiest thing to make precise... This setup "should" hold up to 50 pounds, but i'll always be nervous putting these up for the first time, going to take basically every panel off to make it easier to start. When the arm is fully extended (it has to be to first put the Falcon on it) the weight on the end always concerns me. Now I've got to clear the area and get it up there, hopefully get to that tonight.

It's a nice little set, the tent has a brick built base and some of the elements in this set are cool/rareish like that rounded piece and the blue mining head (used as a camp stove)

I was also amazed by the amount of detail and overall look of this set! Got two at 50% off (compared to Dutch prices) from amazon.co.uk and wished I could have ordered more. I think Tabby is pretty dead on about the interest of young children in Ninjago. If you manage to hold this set for a really long time it will likely be in the same price range as the late 80s, early 90s pirate ships.

I am really looking forward to building my own 70618. Ever since I saw the first photos of this beautifully done Chinese Junk in LEGO I knew I wanted it for my own collection! I usually save a big set like this for building during the Christmas Holidays, but now I have just bought a 10225 R2-D2 which I also want to build, so I have to choose which set to build during Christmas, and which one to build in November. Regarding the availability everywhere ... I remember back in 2015 I saw the Star Wars sets 75054 (AT-AT) and 75055 (ISD) just everywhere in all toy stores selling LEGO, and at decent discounts as well. And I wondered the same thing: how could such an ubiquitous set that everybody and their grandmother could get at a discount ever do well after retirement ? But both sets did do really well, while they're not even that brilliant.

I haven't purchased any used bulk lots for over a year, but stumbled upon two over the past two days locally on Craig's. First one had 17 sets, including every set from the new City Jungle theme, three of the larger Ninjago sets that were just released, a fire station, and some other random city sets. Paid $200 for everything. Retail new is $850 plus tax. The second one included a Maersk Train 10219, a VW Bus, a Farnsworth House, and a brand new Van and Caravan 60117, and an airplane that I haven't identified yet (picture attached - please help). I paid $160 for those. Plenty of meat on the bone for resale down the road. These lots will be my winter project. Can anyone identify the white, blue, and yellow airplane in the last picture?

I think the split payment could be a big factor. They probably noticed certain brands get a split payment very often. Charging only $1 to their card on a $100+ transaction, and giving away $10 really defeats the purpose. The two benefits of having your own corporate credit card is a reduction in transaction fees, and may be making s little money on interest and late fees on the back end. But split transactions totally avoids these benefits.

BUT it was still good right? Great ending? We wouldn't have gotten that awesome Vader scene

That can't be it. If TRU actually charged MSRP and then offered discounts, possibly, but we all know that's not the case. And given Walmart discounts some sets before other stores even have them on shelves, I doubt that's it.

Where did you obtain such a neat little polybag?

They are restricting other brands too.

Just when i thought i was at a break from LEGO LEGO Shop at Home for awhile....they hit me with 4 promos and double VIP and reel me back in....

OR R1 where they delete half the scenes from the trailer.

My wife didn't like my pics, since they didn't properly emphasize her trick or treater placement talents, so here are some better pics. Also, I'm a horrible photographer

This is a great SUPER trailer!

Rey and Kylo to defeat Snoke in episode IX together. One is dark with a bit of light, one is light with a bit of dark hence bringing balance to the Force.

I liked it. Overall, it looks pretty intense and like it will be a roller coaster ride that in the end will break apart and leaving you hanging for a year and a half to debate what's next. As for the porgs, the marketing gimmick obviously works, because my little boy only wants lego sets with porgs. And I can relate because it's like when I was a kid and was sad when that little ewok took a laser to the back from the AT-ST and laid there lifeless and I felt like we just lost our pet dog...

sold a couple of FBA I-Rex's for $259.99 today. This thing is going to $300 by xmas if price keeps going at this rate. repriced higher. RAAAAR!!!!! Ariel Magical Kiss for $68.95 . starting to think this could make it to $80-90 in not much time.

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

Attempting to make a bridge to cross to my other section about 30" gap. Using 12x12 modified 3 hole plates and 12x1 beams connecting the outer holes. I plated the gaps on top and the bottom. It's fairly stiff but I don't think it's going to work.

Got the easy part out of the way - LED strip installed. Re-used the same strip from 10179 without having to modify it. I did of course have to modify the build a bit to fit the wiring without it being too obvious. Had to customize a side panel so it could go through the center, but it covered up pretty well. The strip does have a sticky back to stick it to something, but the pressure from the boat masts is enough to keep it in place with force alone. Made a custom little "holder" for the power box on the interior, and the receiver for the remote is accessible from one of the greebling display holes in the model. Not much i can do about this, needs to be somewhere the remote can talk with it, but it doesn't look all that out of place. And when done it again looks great, this light usually stays on 24/7 and acts as a night light for the living room, so it hides the ugly backside engines a bit Gotta say both this model and 10179 sure make it easy to access the interior to do modifications, all these easy to remove panels are great This LED setup does need to be connected to a power outlet, and last time everyone was telling me to paint the cord the colour of the wall, this time i will, but no i will not decorate the wall like the back of an ISD or a space scene Special guest: Jumbo Tsum Tsum Jabba, he's so awesome, makes a great couch pillow! Next step will be prepping the set for mount "alignment", have to of course remove the whole bottom turret section, reinforce the frame, and make some adjustments to level out the frame a bit as i can already see some differences from 10179 where my current mount build won't work.

When your wife is player 2

Finished this cool little set over a few bathroom breaks last week . Bought it mainly because it looked "ok" and for some reason it was cheaper than others in the 20OFFLEGO sale last week (discounted to $10.49 before code vs $11.99 for other Speed Champions set, so picked it up for $8.39+tax - 44% off), but after building it and putting it with my other cars it steals the show. I think it's the whole color combination that makes the car look so awesome. Definite recommendation if you're into Speed Champions.

Lego Batman and the first Lego movie did similar. It's not new. McDonald's moved away from toys anyone actually wants years ago.

Spending a week at @Shewie's home stomping grounds. Took a look around the toy stores in the city center. Found a Minecraft Microworld for 150PLN (~50 bucks), SW IAC for full RRP (I believe it was 400PLN, so $130, but could have been 500PLN so $160), a ton of Lincoln Memorials for 150PLN as well, several Popstar Show Stages (on sale from 200PLN for 150PLN). Saw an Elves Secret Market Place at the airport for 300PLN (~$100). Needless to say, didn't buy ANY.
