  1. Only when I take my minifig sorting tray with built in scale.

  2. I think I ran in to a brickpicker in Target this afternoon - hiding in the back aisle with a new box of minifigs in the cart while frantically smooshing bags ?

  4. According to a woman I met today while smooshing bags, the Meijer nearest me put them out a week early. Of course, "I heard it from a random stranger" does sound a lot like "I heard it from a LEGO store employee," so take that as you will. And, yes, @terrymc4677, that appears to be where the policeman is always located.

  8. Great set. Small but doesn't feel so over priced after it's built. $5 per minifig, a lot of trans-colored pieces as well as tiles, licensing fees and you can see where the pricing comes from. Quorra feels a little left out without her Light Runner though. The Lego Store had quite a few this afternoon when I stopped by. The only other people I saw buying were AFOL types.

  9. March 30, 2018. This is a date that will forever be remembered. I can get a little emotional at times. As an adult, there are a few instances when I've shed a tear. I cried when my son was born. I cried again a year later when my daughter was born. I cried tears of joy when my beloved Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl 31 after three decades of mediocrity, and again when they won Super Bowl 45. The last time I cried was two years ago this April when my Mom passed away. March 30, 2018. Today is another day that I've sobbed like a baby. Upon waking up for work, I checked my phone like I always do. Waiting for me was a PayPal notification. A large one. I checked my Bricklink account, and it appears that some blessed soul has decided that they needed some Steam Rollers in their life. Yes, some Steam Rollers. All of them. 27 to be exact. Gone. Purchased by an unknown person. A risk taker. A gambler. A guardian angel, perhaps? I began this saga with over 50 of those Steam Rollers. I'd sell one here, one there through multiple platforms, slowly chipping away at that number. I whittled it down to 27. Now I have 0. They are gone. The purchase price was just a shade over $1k. I'll make a few bucks on each one after the usual fees and shipping, but that's not the point in this circumstance. The nightmare is finally over. March 30, 2018 is my Independance Day.

  10. That was Supraboy, must be basking in the glow of his last flapjacks as they fizzle on the grill in the TRU parking lot. The kids will no longer take $5 gift cards. Doh, I forgot about the precision Powerglove Scale he had.

  17. My son wanted to go straight to the assembly line model and I told him no. The app is really good if you let it guide you. After some motivation he built the "Vernie" model by himself and had a blast with it. The programming aspect is simplified but fun compared to Mindstorm.

  18. Do you guys get the same results? I don't look for fake bricks, so I'm surprised this came up.

  19. I think you might get varying opinions on this. Basically, come up with a logic system that makes sense to you and then shoot for that. I go by theme, but depending on the size of the theme (star wars has a lot) I'll subdivide by size a bit as well to maximize shelf volume. And just remember, probably common knowledge but whenever possible, stack them like books on their spine, not on top of one another!

  27. On Spring Break in NYC with family and went to Knicks-Pistons at MSG. I am lucky enough to have a brother with great connections, so we got the best seats to a basketball game I’ve had in a long time - 9th row behind the basket. What a blast!

  33. Welcome to the Grid folks. The designers were in their early 20ties or so. Nice blokes tho. I had to wait in queue about 2h to get this set signed. Masses of people were hoarding like crazy. The old fishing store hasn't received such recognition like this set hands down. This might be an indicator for TLG in the future... Oh - it's my 1000 post here, anniversary time

  34. Missed the really really good deals at Target this morning. However, I was able to snag two Destiny Bounty for $99 each. When I went to pick up at my local store they still had one more on the shelf (although website said their inventory was zero). I took that one up to customer service and asked if they would price match the $99 price of the two I was picking up (by this time the price was back up to regular retail). They were nice enough to price match. Picked up two Batman Knight Crawler as well for $20 each. Bad thing was they slapped pick up labels on my Destiney boxes. I got 95% of the residue off with a hair dryer and some eyeglasses cleaner. =(

  36. Just old style bags (2011, no white bar) and new style bags (2015 onwards) mixed together is no biggie, LEGO does this themselves all the time. (Though recently less and less, I guess they are slowly running out of the older type bags)

  38. no one puts on the first place the fact that TLG is jacking prices up year after year but on a contrary we can see some rather irrelevant arguments. "NASA PAID FOR APOLLO Project to LEGO. " I can't believe what did I just read. Apollo production costs and marketing was significantly smaller than other sets, word of mouth did the job. Open the Apollo box look at the instruction last page and count how many of the same type bricks you have in there. Do the math. In Trone for example they had to create now prints on medium sized transclear round dish pieces (can't recon if they;ve used them ever before in such colours) + new moulds for hair and helmet and print. That could generate up to 10% more cost of production for this set...contradictory to that calulation we are getting >30% price increase out of the blue for no particular reason. TLG is in financially difficult situation and they will jack up the prices on every new set coming this year we have to accept this fact. TRON as a licence is DEAD. there are no toys or anything that is HOT right now. Everyone is loosing their minds on Avengers currently. I will never agree to argument that DISNEY jacked up the licensing costs especially for TRON based toy.

  39. I usually don't care about the price if I find value in the design of the set. This is a set that I could have made. I am not knocking the designer, just saying for an Ideas set, it does not meet up to past standards. I would rather have paid another $20.00 for a well done set, than a set that looks like you would find if you combined two polybags.

  41. @Shewie That P51 is AWESOME! I didn't build "today", but it's been my current project that I just finished within the past couple days and since I just found the love here, I figured I'd share the love! If Ya'll are not aware of this set, it's part of the Lego Certified Professional Brand Limited to 100pcs Exclusively at the "The Renault Workshop" in Paris. There were 2 other sets released that day, a Speed Champions series RS17 (1000pcs) and a Concept RS27 Expert Creator (40pcs) set. The set pictured below is the Creator Expert RS17 model. I sourced the instructions and built the set from scratch while also creating the stickers from scratch (happy to help others just send me a PM). My build progress was detailed on a thread here in these forums. I welcome others to join the adventure for this awesome set. It's stunning on display.
