Well, I’ve been quite busy for the past 6 months or so…but I have been slowly piecing together and building a train terminal that I purchased the instructions from on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Station-PDF-instructions-MOC-Building-City-Modular-/152374747648?hash=item237a3e2200). I also did some modifications and customized it a little bit by adding a comic shop and a small convenience store (with stickers from Brick Builders Pro (http://www.brickbuilderspro.com/). It was quite the project and I just finished it, so I thought I would show some pictures to you all. I had some help sourcing some of the parts from my local Bricks and Minifigs store. There are around 12,000-13,000 parts to the building. Eventually I plan on adding a 60051 High Speed Passenger train or two and doing some more changes/modifications to it….but I am going to save that for a later date.

Someone just shared this on Facebook regarding WoN. You are essentially copping a feel of their pocketbooks. "The patriarchy of the website "Brickpicker" are the ones buying up all this triumphant women's Lego set and bragging about scalping them. Just MORE men taking advantage of women. They assault our bodies and now our wallets!!!!!"

Man why make everyone’s life harder . Cancel the order and move on . I would rather cancel right at the beginning than deal with the headache later on .

I'm Tom Alphin, author of The LEGO Architect book. For the past 6 months, I've been working on a new in-depth guide exploring LEGO Storage topics. I'm pleased to announce that my LEGO Storage Guide is ready for people to enjoy (and give feedback.) The guide is extensive, with 10 chapters and around 50 pages of free content: Section I: Organizing, Sorting, & Storing LEGO Bricks — The guide walks you through the process of understanding your LEGO collection, exploring different ways to organize your collection, great storage solutions for a LEGO collection of any size, and additional tips and tricks. Section II: Displaying & Storing LEGO Minifigures — This section explores some of the best ways to show off and protect your favorite LEGO minifigures. The guide is informed by detailed surveys of around 200 LEGO enthusiasts. The data analysis helped me prepare LEGO storage recommendations based on the size of your collection and other factors. The guide is well researched... It contains results from a detailed LEGO Storage survey with about 200 responses, learnings from interviews with top LEGO builders from around the world, and recommendations based on numerous articles, books, and forum discussions on brickpicker.com website. LINK: http://brickarchitect.com/guide/ I hope you enjoy reading the guide, and I can't wait to hear your feedback! I will continue improving the guide in the coming weeks, and am tracking your suggestions for future improvements in the acknowledgements section. Sincerely, ---tom P.S. I'm eager to hear - what's your favorite LEGO storage product?

It’s not so much what we built, but what we didn’t build today. Finally put my future BrickLinkers to work. They did alright.

That's not a bad idea.

Yep!

People still sell on eBay?

I'm a woman and i can only imagine if it was sneakers they wouldnt give a hoot if they were getting scalped....I am sure they NEVER bought anything off of stub hub either

Would be hilarious if it was available at retail from LEGO Shop at Home and other retailers nearly the entire time people were paying 4x on amazon...oh wait.

It is just a matter of $ now vs € later

Every year goes by and I'm more and more thankful for the opportunity to enjoy the original trilogy when I was a kid. So sad.

I don't think eBay hangs out in the forums anymore. He's taken issue with how we sully his reputation.

Because that a-hole Luke already killed all the wamprats.

Those only got that high thanks to @cory730 buying $45 listings

...WHAT...I mean I like to think of myself as a feminist but this is a bit too much. Logically, I prefer to think of this as capitalism at its finest...or its worst. The currency of the realm is after all...currency.

Just wait till everyone’s Target ? orders arrive.

You'll make it too burdensome to buy from you. So long as there are other comparable options, the honest people will go elsewhere, too. I just want to buy LEGO, I don't want to fill out a fricking application.

Or both hands. There was no limb amputation in TFA, perhaps there will be 2 in TLJ to make up for it Somebody still needs to patrol those moisture farms during peaceful time

Before everyone gets up in arms about how this MIGHT be in The Last Jedi, I direct you to @fossilrock post before. Furthermore, I found this tidbit, which makes a lot more plausible sense to explain what this is. No need to grab our pitchforks...yet...

Finally started building the Sea Cow the kids got me for Father’s Day a couple years ago. I’m about half way done.

Here are the first real box pics.

They're a fairly new piece, but they have been in other sets as A-wing fins (75150, 75175)

I ban dropshippers on ebay on principle.

When your phone is trolling bpers

2× 75532 Scout Trooper and Speedbike 1 10254 Christmas Train all 109,13€ @ real offline Thought that is 30 % off but was a lot more something about 41%. 155,90€ - 46,77€ ( staff discount ) they had a lot more Sets but i was there with bike

I'm all over that. The last experience was more than memorable. Yes, the picture above was from the same KMart as the wedding photo.

Found some scraps at a local Kmart. Maybe I didn’t look hard enough last time. Needed some extras to push me over $100 to use $21 bonus points. Also used some points accumulated during my clearance spree last week. This whole lot ended up being FREE.

Did she just assume the gender of everyone buying and selling this set? Tsk tsk...

That's one of the crappiest door busters in recent memory.

Just compare actual prices of flagship Technic models like 42009 /retired 2015/ and 42030 /-II- 2016/. Due to incoming set(s) Arocs is a white star :-)

In with 24x 42043 and 6x 42053 - /thx Coda/ with orders divided (again two-sets-basket-restriction) :-)

Very informative for various different type of builders, you have provided a very well done article. Thank you for your good work to the Lego community.

BB8 was a decent deal as it was already on sale at 20% off.

20% off Technic at Tesco Direct, according to Hot UK Deals.

The misleading part is the third or forth pic showing the fully built lego tree with rope lights as a model, not part of the box. I’d snag it in a second if you could build it.

This is what happens when lazy sellers list 50+ at a time and new 1-3 unit sellers drop the bottom line pricing.

i just think it is ugly.

Bought only 3 at BN...I'm small potatoes.

My new favorite Youtuber: GNAJBRicKS

SNES Classic from Target already shipped. Edit: Amazon WoN also shipped.

Do make more re-releases please, but always in an improved way like you did with Falcon. UCS sets are simply great. I have them all but the older are not more up to date. And do NOT re-releases like TM...

31065 was released this year, so that is quite fast. Has little appeal though. The 31051 lighthouse on the other hand is a nice set, although I much prefer the 2011 one:

Now lego please make that head with yellow skin so I can have the resident burnt-out alcoholic for my modular city.

I like your analysis. I might suggest that if anything, the BB-8 proves that a smaller scale UCS item could work. Can you imagine a series of $100 UCS sets like the speeders, Luke's, Rey's and the speederbike? I would think that a $150 mid scale set of the A-Wing or the Jedi Eta Interceptor could work. I know that there's a lot of negativity towards Prequel stuff, but they had some serious designs. It would be nice to see them take a stab at the Republic Gunship or the Venator.

Right... [emoji16] I can get those at 70€ regular price around here, so we really need to be careful with "discounts"...
