I've had BB8 built for a while now, but i finally finished up "rounding" or "anti-studding" him to better match my rounded dome R2. Didn't turn out as well as R2, but still happy with it. Mostly involved adding small tiles everywhere, but in some cases i did need to take the panels off and modify them a bit to hide some of the bigger studded pieces.

Got them. Wife took pic. Need to figure out final cost

Well not bought. But I did pay for the gas to go get it. We will call it $2.29.

I’ve had 18 orders so far this month. Nine of them were (0) feed back. Two more had less than (3). Is BrickLink becoming more popular? So far so good. Had some slow payers. But surprised to have zero NPBs. And no complaints about shipping costs or requests to cancel.

Brick Bank...and “laundery mat” ?

Available to order online and for store pickup, if it's worth $5.99 to you .... https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=45970A8B

75185 @ 39 - Tracker 70904@18 (aren’t these retired now) ? - Clayface (retired) 75139 @ £29 - Battle on Takodana (retired) 75171@38 - Battle on Scarif - (retired) 75532@£30 - Scout Trooper Speeder Bike Always worth mentioning set names to save others the trouble. All still seem a bit steap still, scout trooper is a nice set at £30 for personal build. Would probably skip the others. The fact they are all 20 deep probably gives you the indication you need . . . . Any doubt, look at eBay sold listings to gauge recently sold listings and see if there is any meat on the bone.

I hear DJ and my mind goes to this....

Literally in their hand with a smile on their face...

Sorry to be snippy, but you are on the wrong site if you want someone to agree with you. Everyone here is a professional or semi-professional seller. Seller is always responsible until the item is safely in the buyer's hands. That's what insurance is for if you are uncomfortable sending something valuable.

Got Kylo's tie. I am really liking this set since it reminds me of original space police and blacktron.

Great baiting of the UKHD crew Tabby! Going to watch that HDUK post with glee as they take the bait and react! "you meanie, my little boy / girl / other would have moved this set. Why did you have to buy them all... "

Sorry to butt in but those boxes are great for flipping all year round, provided the buy-in is low enough. Some of them also do well post EOL and this is the biggest box right now and is an exclusive. Plus they are good for boys, girls and adults. The perfect gift.

Quicker out the blocks than Doctor Who. £65 to buy on Amazon and selling for £55 on Ebay. Seems to be creeping up a little every day.

Yes - but it does help to make you think about what LEGO might be able to do (if a $500 set is in play).

Hi there, Also a noobie too. From what I've learnt so far...don't buy sets that may be reproduced over and over again. Super Heroes sets have had numerous versions of the same sets and minifigs so they don't normally do so well as investment items. Also if the supermarkets are struggling to get rid of them (even at discount) then you may struggle to make money on the set (after selling fees). Even Star wars sets are being made and remade which is making them unsuitable for investment. Buying retired sets is good but just make sure they're the right ones. Nobody can predict the future though. Good picks are usually sets with a short production span and that are quite unique. Good luck with it all, take your time and do your research, there's load of info in these forums.

Looks great! Nicely done!

Do you mean to invest at the current secondary market prices in hopes that they will rise further or you have a lead on some below market price? I would invest elsewhere unless you can make money on them right now. There will probably be some new sets when Toy Story 4 comes out in summer 2019.

No loss there

Since this is BrickLink, yes, of course, you can take a defensive stand with your buyer and claim you did your job. Don't think there is much the buyer can do - perhaps file a claim with Paypal? However, the best thing to do, especially on a friendly marketplace like BrickLink, is to help out your buyer without immediately assuming you will eat the cost. Help him take the right action steps to get this resolved. Assist with providing proof of shipment (and weight). If possible, use the PM insurance to cover him where needed. A little goes a long way.

Bag 3 in progress and I have to give my 5 year old props. He’s built most of this, just needs guidance occasionally.

There are pictures of 3 new brickheadz - bringing the overall count to unbelievable 37 sets! http://anjsbrickblog.blogspot.cz

Absolutely! The inside looks a lot like something Lego could do. The outside looks fantastic as well (although Lego would probably use multiple colours of pieces mixed together to make it less dull... maybe including the grey piece that looks like bricks, probably most notably used in Helm's Deep). Mind you, the outside would look less plain with some of the characters on the outside as well, so who knows. This moc is awesome though... I sure as heck want it!

Open a case and request them to remap old sku to current sku. No need to recall.

Try calling them, their customer service is outstanding and They will probably offer VIP points to the equivalent amount. Alternatively, purchase again and return the originals. Sent from my SM-G950F using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

dang it, i had my money on slim shady

We're all clamoring for this Black Card, which means...not that much...since it's tied to our VIP account and we don't really "physically" need it. What this "we've sold 3x what we expected" means to me, is that the unnannounced perks, whatever they were, are not going to be as perky as they might have been. We need to stop worrying about the card and start worrying about the perks! It's easy enough for Lego to look at your purchase history, see you bought a Falcon, and make you eligible for whatever the deal is. Maybe we're all getting free Attack on Hoths!

Canadiantire.ca still has the Rogue One AT-ST available for online order to store pickup for anyone interested. Not on clearance unfortunately, but Loblaws stores have CT giftcards on sale for %10 off, so that's something at least. They have Force Awakens Falcon too.

Agree with this, i wasn't a fan at all until i actually went and built them.

RuPaul FTW. The rest are just makeweights.

I think you forgot the Caterham Seven car that was produced as an official Ideas set. But I think the direct involvement of Caterham, working with TLG on design and promotion of the set, was a deciding factor in LEGO releasing this set. Maybe Caterham was so thrilled to have an official LEGO set of one of their cars that they didn't charge TLG licensing fees, considering the LEGO set as free promotion of their brand and car ? Win-Win situation for both Caterham and TLG... Question is whether Jaguar would be interested to give LEGO the same kind of input and support during the creation of the set. If Jaguar does show the same support as Caterham, then I can see the Jaguar model become a real set. Voltron isn't pending any longer. It's officially approved and will be turned into a real set. Remains to be seen which set comes out first, after the upcoming Ship in a Bottle. Either the TRON Legacy set, or the Voltron set...

How much will you save shipping the items together to the GSP depot? Personally I'd want to send seperately to completely cover my ass.

Saw those at one of my Walmarts today.

Well don't rush that decision, you have 90 days after all...

Managed to snag a Kwik e Mart but not optimistic it will ship. My last two orders (Aroc & Heavy Haul Train) both cancelled.

Bought a kwik mart and a Simpson’s house for RRP from Smyths.

No. 50 max.

And that's how the East Coast / West Coast Google war began. It's like 1989 all over again for the digital age.

8351 la Palma ave, buena park, ca 90620. Googled it for you from 3000 miles away.

Maybe it's just me, but the sea themed Modulars are pretty neat and would make for a great series of sets IMO. They would be great in my shore house...if I had one.

Yeah those pics have been posted before I think and they are like p**n to me lol.

Bitcoin, the world where any compound noun inserted into a sentence makes perfect sense. My pollypocket got a jacknife in a cryptocrunchie.

All but that water plane has shown up at LEGOLAND California. Looking at the title of this thread and my backlog of pics reminds me I’m overdue in writing a new article and setting up a 2018 thread. Oh well. This still works

Opened "Clayface Splat Attack" to remove the Batman minifig that's going to be sold on ebay (one TLBM Batman is enough for my collection). Spontaneously decided to build the set. It's a nice build, and I like the parts selection. Stitch acts as a stand-in for Batman to save mayor McCaskill.

Still waiting for the price to rise. I might head out and buy some tomorrow.

Was just going to post the same thing. The only thing I've heard about Stripe is that they don't believe in what you are doing as a reseller and will hold your money until you can get them receipts which is pretty hard to do selling parts. I would avoid unless you like headaches. He has now added a part he previously cancelled. You cannot make this up. Still has not paid. I'm on invoice #4 to this guy.

Now that I have seen the film, this set's design makes more sense....although that scene didn't end well. Heh. I actually like this set; it is one of the better 'copters in LEGO form.
