I just built the world's tiniest ship...

Didn't believe it at first, both are sealed never opened for $65 total.

yes. get them all. on amazon, set has only 35 sellers, nearly double msrp and no posts to this thread in over a year. WINNER!!!!

W00t! I trolled Tabby, the master troller of HKUD

I hope it's the Lighthouse.

That ship just sucks compared to the original. It's hideous. Nearly everything has been taken down a notch for the real version. Junk.

So I read this article about investing in cryptos and I want to start too. I can borrow $10k on a low APR credit card, what cryptos should I buy so I can pay it all off and retire with the profits next year?

Decent points back - online only, Sears - on select Mechanic's tool sets, hand tools, etc. Spend $75 or more, receive $50. And many of the items are already on sale. Got the 118-pc Mechanic's Tool Set. It was already on sale $40 off. Plus I redeemed $4 in points. Total cash outlay $81, but got $52 back in points. Not as good a deal as the Smart Sense 1:1, but if you need some tools it is not bad. There are some really nice items at a deep discount but were only available for store pick-up, so you might get lucky.

heck the bonus tomato would of done it for me...

Built the Dragster Transporter set and it was bought for its versatility. So glad I bought a few for investment too. This set seems to be a winner and we are using it as more a heavy cargo transport. We have that one also. ?

the orginal ship looks better to me but the LEGO bottle looks way better. If you make the ship bigger the bottle has to be bigger and doesn't seem to look as real and accurate. The focus really isn't the ship in this set anyways and more the whole package as a dipslay piece. For a little ship (the only part I did so far) it was a pretty neat little build.

I found three banged up Lone Ranger Silver Mine Shootout for $70 or $79, I forgot at the Markham and Steeles location in Markham. I bought two AT-STs which were $34.86 each and left one which had a pretty beaten box.

I think each version has its pros and cons. My main issue is that fans voted on one version of the set. I don't think people just voted on the idea of a ship in a bottle. When they do things like this and they don't sell as well as they want, they'll just blame fans for voting on something they didn't really want to buy instead of realizing that they materially changed what people said they were interested in having.

Yep, you want to wait until just before retirement and buy at a discount, wait until the set starts to fizzle out and then sell. Use the profit’s to buy more sets. your main limiting factor will be space to store it all. Expecially as you are from the uk. Our small houses aren’t the best for spare space.

Sorry, it looks like all the deals lately have been "business price" I cant tell its business only unless you click on "all sellers" that is where it tells you its business only

Totes adorbs.

I know 3 people in FL that got their cards today with different original purchase dates. 1 via pre order, 2 via wait list. Different parts of FL. Mailed from Hungary. Lego told me mine was considered "lost" and they added me to a reprint would be here by Feb end. Other two did not request reprints. So there ya go. Take it as you will. Card is like a little credit card as far as form and material goes.

Anyone need some minifigs??? $19 business price... https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-City-Town-People-Pack/dp/B0716SHP6V/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516588938&sr=8-1&keywords=lego+beach

Ended up duplicating the shipment plan, and with a stroke of luck one of the shipments it created covered all the items in this "failed" shipment, plus it saved me a few bucks on shipping as the FC was closer to me. Phew.

I throw all the polybags out in the living room and have my wife put them in plastic polybags while she is watching TV or something. Those bags tear too easily to send in loose.

There are a lot of toys that can't be comingled. You can pay Amazon to label them for you if you want. It's in the settings and I think it's .20 a unit. After labeling 42,000 units last year, I was fine paying Amazon the labeling fee in December to speed things up.

70907 (Croc Tail Gator) is now down to $30 on Amazon . http://amzn.to/2DzpsIq Duck HD Clear Tape is also down to $16 for a 109yd 6 roll pack (1 of 2 tapes that II'm comfortable using): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0021L9MVO/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not just the f’ing Emperor. But f’ing Ian McD voicing him!

No. Please no. This is my weakspot, racing. Dammit, once Amusement was done, I felt good about no more Friends purchases. Then the RV releases. Now a racing theme. Friends Speed Champions Racers. Sent from my VS995 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

It's been down to 40% before. Be patient and wait everybody. Sent from my Advance 5.0 HD using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Finished this up last week - hands down one of favorite sets, both in terms of the building process as well as the final result. If you are on the fence at all, I highly recommend it! It would be nice if LEGO put out a descent small sail boat to go with this - I have some of the recent Fishing Boats stored away, but somehow one of those just doesn't seem to do this set justice...

I realized I've only been sorting bulk and laying out pieces for sets to see what I'm missing without building any sets for months, so I pulled out the pieces for 6278. Along with my pirate ships, this was one of the largest sets I owned in my childhood. I used to make stop motion videos of the islanders against the pirates using a camera that weighed about 10 pounds. There's a VHS tape around somewhere with what could become The LEGO Pirates Movie. I will need to work on the special effects, though.

I think you guys are reading too much in short term news. Over the last three years, Bitcoin has followed a pretty consistent pattern of value increase, where it drops early in the year, rises untill early summer, drops again and then peaks at the end of the year. This is probably just because it is an inefficient market and relies mostly on the human psyche and not on the broader economic environment. To demonstrate I made a picture comparison. I'm willing to back up this analysis with some crazy predictions for the upcoming year: - Feb to April: A peak somewhere around 25k - April to May: consolidation around 20k, maybe even drops to 15k - May to July: Another rise to 35k or even 50 - July to september: Drops back to 25k - September to December: A run to $100k This is surely not investment advice and I know it is likely I am wrong, but this is what I project and the reason I am only liquidating about 10% of my cryptos into fiat (making sure I have enough to live on if everything tanks). I do believe unexpected events can lead to incredible rises and incredible dumps, so if you later on shame me on this false prediction, I just did not see that one thing coming

Sold my last 75192 MILF for $1200 cash. Sold the second for $1300 cash. And sold my spot in line opening day for $200 cash. Plus VIP points for buying the two, and black VIP cards for myself and my wife. I'll get one for me eventually... hopefully when someone discounts it. It took longer than anticipated, but I'm happy with the return.

Riding club 41126, £40 cash, £28 buy in. Wonder Woman 76075, £30 cash, £20.99 buy in. Guardians of the Galaxy 76081, £40 cash, £24 buy in. Can almost afford to buy another Lego set now.

This took my longer than expected. I ended up putting a variety of figs in the display. I left out a couple of my more valuable ones (i.e. Cloud City Fett).

This sounds so familiar....Bans...Dump...Unload...Restrictions...Panic...Don't worry....LOL

If you can’t find a better deal, I’ll do them for retail shipped UK.

Dont have any of those sets myself, but a very quick look shows Amazon de (Germany) not to bad price wise compared to others.Watch out for postage though.

A nice article comparing the original design with the official one. https://www.thebrickfan.com/comparing-lego-ideas-ship-in-a-bottle-21313-to-original-project/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LegoEverlasting-LegoReviewsNews+(The+Brick+Fan+-+LEGO+Reviews+%26+News)

Dimensions Goonies slight upgrade haha

Yeah! Egghead is here! Decided to jump on a price match to Walmart and used a 20% off gift card, so Egghead was $19.20. I had to build him before@Alpinemaps had the chance, so here he is. Cool set and Condiment King is a nice bonus.

Correct, I suspected I might when I received the email. I cancelled long before the email was sent out.

Amazing!! This wins the internet today.

My ‘Original UCS Falcon, escaping from Docking Bay 327’ enshrined in a coffee table now complete.

Really like the end product , pretty sturdy , well designed and a lot of playability . The trigger to release the “bombs” is in the perfect place and well hidden . Figures are cool too

I do agree it should have been a 199.99 set. That I won't argue with, and I actually bought this one for 180 after tax, so I couldn't complain. It's definitely not a bad set when you put it all together and plate it. I think the hate on it is even more overrated. My boy will get plenty of hours of playtime out of this one.. I do hope Cloud City is next. .. i'll buy all these large scale environment sets like this from the OT era.

My son and I have been building the Hoth rebel base. I have to admit I don’t understand the hate for this one. We did add two large base plates and a lot of white plates to flush it out and we will probably add a tunnel and baca tank area.

thought I would share my star wars collection

This is what I done.... I went with the Video idea of an internal Frame.... Works great, but kind of expensive.... around $75 per Frame..... but the results are worth it... you be the Judge.

This one is for you LEGO, inspired by @BrickLegacy and brought to you by Brickpickers everywhere.
