  1. Math is hard... Accidentally only ordered enough parts for half the assembly, but here we are so far. Drew A LOT of inspiration from 10179 MOC engines that were floating around the forums, so big thanks to those amazing designers. Was also able to use the pool noodles behind the trans-blue elements to get a nice effect. Happy to answer any questions or take deconstructed pics.

  2. Went back to my local kmart (and by local I mean 20 minute drive) the other day and picked up some scraps! x1 Volcano Helicopter $15.00 (70% off) x6 70337 Ultimate Lance $2.00 (80% off) x3 Minecraft The Nether Fortress $24.00 (70% off) x2 Jungle Halftrack Mission $12.00 (70% off) x6 Jungle ATV $FREE (100% off) The employees didn't even bother scanning the promo item this time around, they just gave me one with each transaction. Up to 22 now over the last few weeks. Loving that little set! Left a few more clearance items for the 75% off sale (predicted to be during black Friday), a few nexo sets, some star wars and minecraft remain at mine. At target I picked up a bunch of Santa Polybags and Christmas trees for the holiday season. Overall pretty good haul

  3. Very old saying but still applies today: "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". I sold all of mine now, while there is guaranteed money to be made. It may be a winner down the line, let's hope for a quick retirement.

  4. My two certificates (generated today and about two weeks ago) do not have the exclusion of Lego anymore: *Excludes Build-A-Bear, Gift Cards, SquareTrade Protection Plans, phone orders, all fees, and shipping.

  5. Probably another 12 months? My receipts say 11th and 12th November. I was kind of hoping for a similar sale this year to get a couple of modulars for personal collection.

  9. It was available at my local Target today. The packaging is certainly unusual. It is a cross between the build and take models at TRU and an actual polybag. It has a sealed unmarked poly with the pieces inside an adhesive sealed bag that also had the instructions.

  12. Whenever things are going their way, some sellers love the free market and competition. It's brought up whenever a customer or Amazon reviewer is ticked off at scalping. But when someone, one of the many sellers whose independent actions make up the free market, acts independently, the same people dislike the free market. If you care one way or another how one seller decides to price his product, maybe you are one of those people who should be internalizing that "if you can't afford to lose it, don't invest it" statement I've seen here recently.

  16. If you have it for your personal build, you might want to contact these sellers. The current CZK/GBP exchange rate is 30 CZK = 1 GBP and you might expect shipping costs (registered, signed-for package to UK) around 20 GBP new, unopened, damaged corner https://www.sbazar.cz/krejcovakristina/detail/26326874-lego-ghostbusters new, unopened, box damaged https://www.sbazar.cz/nabidkanaprodej/detail/23139925-lego-ghostbusters-75827-hasicska-zakladna

  20. I never have understood why people post pictures like this on their listing and enter their max quantity that they have. It's telling the potential buyer " I got plenty of these. No rush. Wait to see if the price drops further".

  26. Some ebay sellers are now selling it at under $47 a piece shipped. I still manage to sell mine at $48. Got another 8 more to move out before the complete collapse of this thing. Still a bunch on the shelves of some lego stores and TRU in the Greater Vancouver Area.

  31. So, I will want one of these for personal build before Lego pulls it. Is the current price of £239.99 as good as its gunna get? Do I pull the trigger or wait?

  39. Wow It's looking like the Same Guy that Pedicted the TaJ re-release also PreDicted the SSD in 2018... ill admit I don't have this set but If it's true a year from now I'll Bite...but like many have said..."the Collectability of these Big Sets is pointless..." that being said, I tend to agree that by flooding the market with re-releases of these sets will hurt lego in the long run...but there are too many Variables and "what if's" that can happen in a 5 year cycle. botom line Nobody has a crystal ball as to how many Sets TLG will re-release...but it Does create a Panic to be sure. As an investor in the NYSE for over 20 years...markets are fairly predictable if you look at a 10 year cycle...however, it's when that cycle is Tampered With or manipulated that tend To Screw things up...Be it Banks, or in this case The Lego Group itself... i personally think the only Way TLG is going to Cease Manipulation is to Fail at a series of re-releases and go back to Creating setting the Market back on track...

  41. 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.
