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.

This will sort of be a "progress" thread so i will continue to share pictures through the process. Wasn't sure where to post this, but this seems to be a good spot for now. As many of you know i wall mounted my bricklinked 10179 and posted it on these forums, it was a fun endeavor and a great way to display the monster. I've since moved to a smaller condo and now more than ever do i need the room. So i plan to (try) do the same with 75192. I managed to pick one up in store lining up at 6am or so and being 5th in line when my local store (Sherway) got a restock. After about a week i have finally finished building it, and now it's time to start brainstorming how to overcome some of the differences. Overall 10179 and 75192 are pretty similar, i found myself recalling a ton of the build processes/techniques and 10179 while putting this one together. the one thing 75192 has going for it over 10179 is of course the enhanced details, but more importantly the build as a whole feels like it won't fall apart just by looking at it, but it does have it's weak spots. My biggest problem with 75192 over 10179 is it doesn't seem to hide the gaps/cracks as well as 10179 does (at least from my recollection/pictures). I can look around the model and peer inside and see many of the rainbow colored bricks shining through, some in more obvious spots than others, but still i thought this being a $900CAD display/collectors model they would go out of their way to make sure this didn't happen. And maybe sacrifice build "ease" for aesthetics. Few pictures to highlight this below: First step will be to install the LED strip to the back. I'm hoping i can use the old TV wall mount and just modify it, buying another and custom drilling more holes will be a pain. And the wall i need to mount this on is concrete, so i can't just drill this into a stud Going to have to find someone with a hammer drill. Anyways enjoy the process and pictures as they come!

I finally called and complained to Lego about their distribution center and shipping practices in Romeoville, Illinois. I'm tired of getting shipments overstuffed with air pillows and then the boxes are forced shut, smashing the contents inside. Apparently their shipping department works nights at the Amazon FBA receiving dept. in Illinois as well.

The performance of some teams may warrant that suggestion

I just received the shipment. Code 35s7

+1 for R1 from me too. No silly furry toys, over-the-hill OT actors, minimal droid intervention, a hot female lead and Darth Vader as a real badass villain instead of whiny boy.

yeah you have to do that one at a time. that's what happens when item is sent in duplicate ASIN's. try to avoid that. i completely understand the price on the original/actual ASIN which appears with the UPC is lower but again its the gamble one takes for higher $$ sometimes it works sometime it doesn't.

in my experience stranded inventory usually occurs because of various ASIN merge [ of the same item] and your item was not the target ASIN rather in the duplicate ASIN. only way to fix this is for SS to remap it and usually case solves it. if it doesn't call them up and say that you need your listing mapped to the new ASIN. give them old ASIN under which your item was listed its available from your FBA inventory tab for the item. they should be able to fix that. and it becomes available within 24 hours.

Same here. I could not stay awake when re-watching it on Bluray. It is really the biggest fanservice movie money can buy. It is like you are sightseeing instead of watching a stoy. "Oh look! check out YAvin IV", "remember the guy on the tower?", "wow R2 really did appear in all SW movies", "Did he say General Syndulla???", "Is that Tarkin? IT IS", "hey Gold Leader", "Oh Red V died, make sense", "AT-AT on sand!!", "remember Vader needed to be in that weird thing when off suit??" etc etc etc. You do it once and you are done

never fails ; latest shipment

Indeed, that is ridiculous. There's a new $10 reward promo if you use your TRU credit card three times outside TRU from 10/1 - 10/31. I'm barely motivated to do that. Will, but barely motivated.

Was just at the main store across from the Eaton Centre looking for Star Wars black series figures and was surprised to see they had a mix of the new Star Wars and superheroes lego sets available. I doubt this is a sign of much as the other 2 locations down here I went to didn't have any, and there wasn't even a discount available for EB Games Edge members, but keep your eyes peeled. When God shuts a Sears window, he opens an EB door.

Size comparison to other recent polys. Is this the biggest bagged set ever? It really would have been a nice boxed set.

Rockets, Rayguns and Robots. by Barney Main

I think I'd prefer a nice minty box without some bloke scribbling his name on it. Also wouldn't those sigs be easy to fake?

Phantom Reaper by Logey Bear

Last year, « Retiring soon » tags appeared 20th October for many sets. Get ready guys ! ?

It is 31011 Creator Aviation Adventures

I'm sure there's a measurable amount of Lego bought at discount with split transactions. And any other brand that can be sold on the secondary market. They probably identified them and decided it was too costly to continue.

Yes, it was a good thing. They dodged a bullet. Imagine if it sucked.... like the prequels. And NO, none of them were any good.

Failure to innovate while Amazon and the lot ate their lunch. Sad story for the workers while management negotiate their golden parachutes.

I see Kylo Ren flying around and immediately think how proud his grandfather would be.

Luke training Rey be like...

The Sceletons by Tobias Buckdahn

Placed an order for 2 of the Star Wars calendars through Shopko. Got an e-mail that one of the items had been cancelled. The other one is still Processing. ?

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!

Look at the voice actor cast.

I think I found @exciter1's rift in space that lets him go back in time to buy sets.
