Here's my latest creation - given the awesomeness of the new UCS Hulkbuster set, I wanted to try to set up a nice backdrop that shows all of the Iron Man suits. So, I built this: I thought LED lights would be a nice touch, but I apologize ahead of time for the exposed wiring: Here are the suits up close. I have all of them (I think) except for the newest Mark 50 suit from Infinity Wars: Here's each "closet" up close (warning: the wires make the cheese slopes look angled, but I assure you they're straight): Enjoy!

20 minutes before closing at Target I nicely asked an employee to see if any were in the back. She had no idea how to find anything in the stock room. Manager up front talked her through it via headset. She comes back with a handful. I’m thinking the rest are still back there and she doesn’t know what she’s doing..... And there’s no way a police officer is in the tiny group. Wrong and wrong. The first one I pick up is the officer Woo hoo! I fly through the rest and start laughing bc I realize it must have been an employee’s stash of one of each character including the officer. And the last was another officer.

if i was a kid getting one of these “blind bags” i would be extremely disappointed if i got the lame policeman figure. we’re doing children a favor by removing it from the box for them! i’ve been able to disarm 2 boxes and make them safe for the kids already, and i hope to find more before they ruin a child’s day.

And look what happened. It was pure s**t.

got you covered.

Load a cart full of flat screens and roll it out the store without paying. The police will actually come to you. Much more efficient than smooshing bags.

We are obviously all just Russian Bots (trying to undermine the great American cinema).

Was it the 3rd from the back in the left basket?

I was on the fence this time, but decided to check my ghetto WM to see if they had a fresh box. They had an opened box so I was not expecting much, but within 3 seconds I found the police officer, and then another 10 mins later I had all 17 thanks to Brothers Brick’s guide. Definitely easy to smoosh, except perhaps a few figs (I found the spider difficult to find). Opened them all at home and was 100% correct.

I watched the “Director and the Jedi” documentary last night from the TLJ bonus disc. They probably spent millions on just the sea cow scene. What a waste...

WALL-Easter by Lesgo LEGO Movie

sold 2 series 18 policemen for $33 each and 27 ultimate batmobile polybags for $200. got the polys last week at tru. a few weeks ago i found 9 of them at a different tru and the cashier was hassling me about buying them all. this was about 2 days before they officially announced they were closing all stores. i sold those in lots of 3 for $28 each pretty quickly. when i found these 27 the other day i planned on selling them the same way, in lots of 3, but i figured i’d try out a huge lot first to see if it would sell. buyer is in singapore.

Back, and to the left.

You really like plans.

Stopped by my local Walmart on a whim this morning. Found this: Managed to find this:

Popping in here to say that The Last Jedi is my second-favorite Star Wars film (behind Empire, narrowly ahead of ANH). I'm a long-time fan (have ready every adult Legends and Canon novel), and I absolutely adore TLJ. I know a lot of people didn't like it, and I'm definitely not going to try to convince anybody to like something as subjective as a movie. This thread just keeps popping up on my homepage with a lot of negativity, so thought I'd bring something positive to the discussion thread.

This one just had more than its share of bad moments without enough good ones to balance them out. I think one reason why this will not live on in people's hearts is there was no great action or iconic moments that demand repeat viewings. We barely see any space dogfighting but get more time on slow moving bombers or escape pods. The fight with the red guards was kind of cool but seemed anti-climactic coming after Snoke bought it and the fan in me wondered why neither of them are using any force powers in that fight. The Crait showdown was lame with again hardly any dogfighting but just the Falcon leading Ties away and Rose sabotaging Finn's long drive to nowhere. As cool as the Luke-Kylo sequence is if you appreciate the idea of it, it's still over fast with very little fighting. More time was spent getting Luke from the cave to outside then in actual combat. The less sais about the casino horses the better. Far inferior to the pod race. There is nothing in here that ranks with the trench run, either of the Luke-Vader fights from Empire or Jedi, no big space battle or into the Death Star scenes like in Jedi, Phantom Menace or Revenge, and no ground battle worthy of Empire or Attack of the Clones. My then 6 year old son would watch the Geonosis battle every weekend for a year. There's nothing here I NEED to see again.

The agenda was to make Luke look like a weird old hermit. They succeeded by alienating millions of fans. And why again is Disney handing over the reigns to this idiot?

UCS sets were already dead as investments back when I joined in 2016. Everyone & their dog is onto it. I was late to the game in 2016 & UCS aftermarket prices are what got my attention. As advised hang around & have a read for a while before spending anything. The game got very tough due to a massive influx of new investors coming in over the past two years. Good luck!

Had a Target employee pull a box from the stockroom today. When he came back, the seal on the right was intact, but the left seal was cut and the bags in that row were askew. Me thinks there's a Brickpicker working at my local Target's stockroom.

Spaceballs by Julius von Brunk

I certainly like well planned movies.

Patience young Jedi Plus the ultimate X-wing and the Death Star from just before 18 months ago.

This is what I and George Lucas mean about it being well made. Its production values and artistic choices are top notch. Failure is a good theme. I think my and a lot of people's problems here was that we already saw Luke go through failure after failure in Empire. Yoda doesn't need to pop back in to remind him of this lesson he learned a long time ago. It undid much of Luke's journey from before. Indeed, this new trilogy seems determined to put the old guard right back where they were when New Hope started. Luke is a whiny responsibility shirker, Leia is running a doomed resistance cel, and Han and Chewie are smugglers on the run from gangsters. At least when Obi-wan and Yoda were in hiding, it was with a purpose. Luke is just a sad old man. Big letdown for my childhood hero.

There's plenty of us.

Nope, I've read several posts where it definitely varies anywhere from the third to the fifth or sixth from the back on the left... Third from the back in the box I checked was a cactus girl

Biggest mistake I made. I bought 3 UCS sets in mid 2017 at RRP after hearing stories about all this money people make on them. Then after buying the sets and trying to figure out how long it would take me to get rich I came here and learned my awful mistake. I hope to one day be able to sell them and make my money back.

All this discussion makes me glad I bought mine from Minifigures+.

Logic says that the Porsche will go first as big Technic sets only last 2.5 years and the Chiron will be out in the summer. Ass Square should be the last, but you never know if Lego will spring another Town Hall on us due to poor sales. There is still time to get all of these sets but if you see one at a good discount (e.g. Target Ass Square mistake) then don´t procrastinate.

My order arrived today, so there is hope.

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.

I think it’s just that the haters are a lot more vocal than the ones that liked the movie. I liked the movie and I get on with my life. The haters are fuming about this movie and need constant affirmation that their hate is shared and justified. It’s a strange phenomenon. it definitely wasn’t a perfect movie but it was shot beautifully and left me wondering where this was all going. We’re so used to seeing the heroes undertake a mission where **** goes wrong but hey, they pull it out at the end. Luke will come save the day with lightsaber blazing, right? Personally I think that would have been a less interesting movie.

And we're tracking you. Nigerian letters of great financial benefit will be arriving shortly.

141 amazon sellers on iron golem would agree with ya. Looks to have a similar end as the cave...should have disappeared at the end of 2016...but remained throughout 2017. Only silver lining I see for golem is it seems to only be available online and not at any physical stores shelf....at least in my neck of the woods.....for now Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

10243 Parisian Restaurant came out in 2014. 10246 Detective Office was 2015 modular. Parisian should go before DO, if you buy into that logic but other factors could be at play . PR has lower sales rank on amazon than DO, or BB so that would favor retirement possibly. but.... Assembly Square has lowest sales rank of all currently available modulars sold by amazon.com - that big price tag automatically reduces the market demand. For the BTP with access to wholesale catalogs and other private knowledge, life is but a dream. For the rest of us peons, its all a guess and paying attention to retailer stock outages and different countries LEGO Shop at Home websites. buy correctly move inventory and watch your cagr grow. choose poorly, you bought deep into iron golem head fake and you got a nice dust collection going. when the time is right, the big time people will pass the word on down from up yonder high so us mere mortals can scrounge the remaining morsels and seed shells to wring out the retail supply and provide a nice post EOL bump.

£7 from a carboot sale, had to replace some missing parts on Bricklink though, total buy-in was around £30.

Of course, if you see any deals on minifigs, please post them here. Otherwise, questions and discussion can be placed here: https://community.brickpicker.com/forums/topic/18844-71021-minifigures-series-18/

Fair play mate. I wasn't on it at that point. I'm guessing it was a get in quick before others. I vaguely remember some people F5'ing or something. I work full time though so you just get unlucky if you aren't around when the best s**t becomes available. I've seen a load of new members just buying rubbish for the last few months that will only serve to flood the market and not reap any real profit afterwards though.

70919 The Justice League Anniversary Party Simple build, lots of fun though. Love Hawkgirl, El Dorado, Green Arrow and Wonder Dog. All in for that reason alone. I think I’ll put it aside for the Winter Village.

Ive heard the features are a removable shirt for Putin and different wigs for Trump with special alternate neon orange skin bricks. Sent from my VS995 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

I hoard in singles now. I’m definitely not flipping dozens of AT-ST right now for $58 each.
