I bought my first Lego train set! It’s the High Speed Passenger train set (60051). Bought it via eBay for a little under $109 brand new and sealed. I think I got a great deal.5 points

Bought a Winter Village Station at 25% off, and then some train track packs and the $15 Friends Winter car set to get myself over $55 to get the Nutcracker promo. All this at LEGOLAND California.5 points

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.4 points

Great timing of that video! I do believe that these Elves Dragons offer something that will be sought after when they're retired for a while and left-over stock at retail has dried up. With the usual disclaimer: when bought at good discount!3 points

Hudson Bay! Many sets are 15% or 25% off: http://www.thebay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/SearchDisplay?storeId=10701&catalogId=10652&langId=-24&pageSize=12&beginIndex=0&sType=SimpleSearch&resultCatEntryType=2&showResultsPage=true&pageView=image&searchSource=Q&searchTerm=lego&x=6&y=3 And you can currently use the promo code "VIP" for another 25% discount. The result is 44% off for sets with an existing 25% discount, and 36% off for sets with a 15% base discount. Shipping is free above 100 CAD. Have fun3 points

forget about the return and thinking about 10+ or whatever you sold in the last couple days. I sold some GBH when it peaked last month or so and got 1 return. Price come down more than half. If you ask me how i feel the return, of cause it is not good. Try to focus on the positive and move on.2 points

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.2 points

I can personally attest,to the fact that WM does not have any kind of limitations on Lego sets. I have bought close to a thousand sets over the past two weeks and many thousands more over the past few years all on the same account without any issues. I'm just glad that they lifted their per limit purchase orders so you can order 100 sets at a time.1 point

Bought two complete sets of these for £5 for each brickheads on the back of recent TRU 2 for £15 deal and some £5 vouchers on £15 spend that I got recently. Not gone too hard on them, since always difficult to tell with a new line.1 point

Anything is possible, but the timing is also wrong .. two months after Star Wars 8 and too late for the Xmas shopping season? Doesn't fit for a "back from the vault" kind of set .. especially since it would be impossible to gauge the success of the Taj Mahal before needing to get them into production. Some post-xmas buzz from an updated ISD would fit the bill a lot better. Many people can't even distinguish between the SSD and ISD - they're just big spaceships to them.1 point

Listed a bunch on ebay and 2 drop shippers bought them. I think I'm listing them for a bit too cheap, around $50 shipped. Will head to my local lego store to clean out some more before heading to the border.1 point

So I'm gonna weigh in here. I know there was talk pages ago about 'destroying the brand', 'not collectible', etc. I collect lego because of its quality. The rareness of the sets has nothing to do with it. Megablocks suck to me...in fact any knock offs suck as far as I'm concerned. As far as building toys go, it's Lego or gtfo. I do feel bad for the investors, but collectors like myself aren't going to care how many sets they rerelease. I realize some will, but remember there's a quality to consider there. As for 'where were we when the original was there'.......we were younger and had less money, so we couldn't get it.1 point

I would absolutely buy pre-printed labels. That's a wonderful idea.1 point

I don't think eBay hangs out in the forums anymore. He's taken issue with how we sully his reputation.1 point

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?1 point

Sold a Jurassic World Pteranodon Capture for around £40 on Amazon. A return was requested by the buyer as she was expecting a bigger set for £40, and blamed an inaccurate description on the website. Thanks, lady!1 point

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!!!!!"1 point

First of all - I apologize for editing your post but those two particular names are not welcome in the general forums. The quick explanation is that we have no desire for search engines to reach these posts. That first one in particular has a history here - many a bad link were posted (unintentionally bad) and some users even had their router's DNS entries rewired due to some malware on that site. I'm not really taking offense, I'm asking why you choose to be here if you don't agree with what this site is about - making money from LEGO? And I'm telling you that your language and replies with respect to resellers aren't conducive to intelligent and appropriate conversations. Nobody believes the word "scalper" is meant to be a positive thing and yeah, sometimes people on this site buy up all the products and resell them to make some money and often take advantage of a manufacturer's own inability to see the larger picture about perceived or caused scarcity. Some question the ethics, some are just jealous they don't have the capital or foresight and others are just ... well, spoiled and upset they can't have the nice things too? (I'm not even sure on the history of why scalping is illegal... I guess the event promoters don't like the bad press it generates and it just seems to be an easier thing for the law to control.) So to be blunt - If you want to hang out in these forums, I am asking you to be more respectful towards the members and what goes on. MOST active posters are resellers in some way.. some long term, some short term. And yes we makes jokes about people being QFLLs or reseller scum but they've been through this type of discussion multiple times and it's a joke people don't take too seriously. I have to agree with you about the erosion of morals in our population.. it's kind of sad. Unfortunately that leads often into political discussions so I'm going to tread lightly, but I maintain that if you're supporting those companies, you really ought to think about why and perhaps change your own behavior before passing judgement on "resellers." (this is a general comment, not directed to you or anyone in particular) Capitalism... gotta love it to hate it.1 point

My first post here. I came out of the dark ages a about four months ago, in February. This set up has been up for about 2 months now. Kinda stole the wife's stand. I have the minifigures for all of the sets but did not want to put them up yet. I recently built the Parisian Restaurant and London Bridge. Brick bank is unbuilt and I believe the wife bought me the detective office for my upcoming birthday. I am messing around with some light bricks, a few wires and such can be seen sitting on top of the fire station. We are living in a condo so room is limits. Have an entire empty house though but it is 75 miles away, go figure. We rented the house out for 3 months and that really helped with the funding for this and the unpictured collection. I have been buying a lot of bulk lots in the hopes of building some fan designed buildings. I have some serious catching up to do with some of you all. I have seen some very nice setups on here and it makes me want to get mine in a better situation. I wish I hard started back sooner. I wanted to right as the modulars were coming out but was hit with too much college debt. I did get my feet a little wet right before that and got a few nice trains. You know what they say about hindsight.1 point
