After spending most of the year bricklinking the Barad Dur, it's finally done with a few modifications, it stands 45 inches tall. Thanks to Kevin at BrickStruct for creating the instructions. The model still needs a couple of mods that I will do when I have room to display it.

There was a deal a couple weeks ago at Shop.Lego.com where you got 100 points ($5) for every Star Wars Lego purchase. If you spent $75, you also got a free London Bus promo. Keep your eyes on the Daily Deals and you should catch these deals when they are available.

Lack of flexibility does not good investment strategy make.

I think he made Lego a verb.

Had a lot of fun putting it together. Daughters having fun driving it around and having strange ideas about getting sand into our apartment...

Me too, points from SW Microfighters should about pay for it.

Bought the 10247 Ferris Wheel today on CL for $70 complete with instructions. Will add the power functions to it!

We are working on the Disney castle. Daughter is loving it

This set will soon be available in the UK from Smyths: https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/lego-and-bricks/lego-ninjago/lego-ninjago-movie-ninjago-city-70620/p/164489 Some more "lego exclusive" sets are also available at smyths such as the Minecraft mountain cave and London bus, hopefully the UCS MF will also hit TRU soon aswell.

Not a ban, that's just high quality IT staff at work.

Sand Baseplates for $5.58 at Target. 30% off. I’ll take ‘em.

Wow, just wow. I was in the dark ages for the last Falcon and my wife was awesome to me for christmas. This thing is HUGE!!! I knew it would be big, even measured out display options before building but to actually see it and hold it is just amazing.

This has broader international appeal than Doctor Who though, which could be telling. I bet those 99 at Tesco will soon start moving if word reaches HUKD that it’s now retired.

Retired at UK SAH

This is true. Should I tell my "I returned 10 black pearls story" again? Bought 10 on target.com at $90 or something. Found many more at Walmart for $60. Returned those 10 from target. Next visit there were 10 black pearls on an end cap for $99 titled "manager's special."

Interesting thread... I began recollecting Legos about 2 years ago after getting my childhood legos back from my folks and a Lego Christmas present from my now wife, and that's all it took. I focused primarily on City stuff at the time, particularly wanting to build an airport. I always been a fan of Star Wars but didn't get into the Lego scene until Summer 2017 clearance round 2 where I got a U-Wing for $35 or so. Then the Tie Striker for $35, then an X-wing and now I think I have about 8 or 9 large craft (Kylo's shuttle and 75105 Falcon the largest), 4 or 5 small craft (Luke's Landspeeder, Rey's Speeder, A-wing), and a 2 or 3 small scenes. My desk is full I have no room for more, so I find myself asking how to consolidate, what to keep or eliminate. At first I was pretty OCD about keeping the figures and vehicles that came in each box together, now I'm thinking of having figureless iconic vehicles in one area and groups/scenes of minifigures in another. I don't have a HUGE collection but about 85+ minifigures. Kind of want to build my own customer Star Wars themed minifigure stand or diorama. I don't like those displays that each figure has a fixed amount of volume to occupy like prison, I like to think they can be displayed with a little of my creativity as well. As for the future of my Star Wars collecting... can't afford UCS stuff, I will still buy iconic vehicles from previous movies, and will buy smaller sets for the figures and if I think there are interesting extra pieces. If the figure can be had on the aftermarket for a fraction of the set cost I may consider that on a case-by-case basis. Depending on where Disney takes Star Wars I may not be buying too much from new movies and focus on newly designed sets for earlier episodes. May the force be with you.

Glad it cracked you up!

January 1: 75828 LEGO Ghostbusters ECTO 1 & 2 shows as retired on Czech e-shop

with 20% off TRU gc and whatever the rewards you have, it's gonna be super slick

these are also being cleared at virtually every walmart i have been to in the last week for $5. often unmarked. arm sweeping at either price. i have way too many of these but who can say no to a $5 retiring baseplate?

Tried to find an online reference, came up with little solid evidence. Will get back to the person to find a source. But I believe that it may only be the skyline series in 2018 architecture range which will continue given some articles, for example. https://www.brothers-brick.com/tag/architecture/ . Anyway, happy to know there may be new harry potter sets released in Nov of 2018 https://brickshow.com/.

Same here, except I did Finn and Phasma BH. 5 of each got you the London bus FREE and $50 points back on a $82 order. Good stuff.

So let me wade into this discussion. In my own opinion this movie left me in shock at the theatre, & not in a positive way. Not only did it burn down every major story arc that TFA set up. It mocked Luke & devalued the First Order, portraying Hux as a bumbling idiot. Snoke no pay off or backstory keep us invested in him being a credible villain. No Knights of Ren & gaping plots holes, irrelevant subplots casino mission. General Leia super women spot & the total misrepresentation of Luke Sky Walker character! My concern is Disney diving this guy a whole new trilogy to mess up more Star Wars lore & create new ridiculous canon. Here is a link to review that totally sums up how if feel about this movie.

Saturn V, Old Fishing Store, Ninjago City, Destinys Bounty Hard to pick a winner here, but out of the four sets I listed, 3 of them I really really want to have, and 1 one them I have to have. Saturn V wins it for the Ideas theme, OFS makes the win even more deserved.

I don’t disagree with you persay, but indulge me a moment as I troll you. I use that term “troll” here because I think that is kind of what the film was doing purposefully. You point out an excellent moral distinction between Luke and Vader, yet it was Luke who blew up the first Death Star, killing a million people, and in his own way becoming a mass murderer. Of course it was in the service of good, but man is the logic here dark. I think the film tries too hard to rewrite history and Disney takes some major risks pissing off fans by destroying our collective happy ending that marked the end of the original trilogy. But at least it was an attempt, albeit a failed one, at taking this franchise someplace newish.

There are a lot of talented builders out there no doubt. The IDEAS theme has only scratched the surface. One of my favorite parts of this site is when The Orc King posts in this thread...

Prepare yourself, another EBay code for New Years Day. This will stack nicely with the Target EBay gift card from last week.

Finally sold my last Arkham 10937. What a long journey that was, I earned money, but I am done with large SH sets.

Another one ! 1 x 21020 Trevi Fountain for 100 euros (65 euros profit, after 1 year hold) Got a few left and raised the price as they are going fast, perfect little investment as the set is easy to shipp, low buy in and great ROI.

So anyways, since I’ve sent you payment, when are you shipping’em? I took a day off from work on the 3rd of January so I wouldn’t miss the delivery. [emoji12]

6AM this morning, the eBay app on my phone goes "cha-ching"... sold one set of minifigs from Ragana's Castle for $20. Been listed for weeks, and shown very little interest. Question: what kind of person is up at 6 AM on Christmas day, shopping for this on eBay?

My Lego Room: I come here after I fight with my wife to relax/recover. Still working on arranging sets due to spacing issues.

My daughter got 41122 Adventure Camp Tree house for her 8th birthday and enjoyed building it, which a little help from me. Especially cheese-slopes and other small details she finds still tricky. And after building it she also enjoys playing with it.

I like this set a lot. Reminds me of The Fifth Element.
