Finally cut the seals and built this beauty!

Finished with my new Brickheadz display. I have almost all of them except the 2016 SDCC Brickheadz, Steve and Creeper, Luke and Yoda, and Vader. 2017 NYCC Boba Fett/Carbonite Han not pictured. Don’t have any of the new Seasonals yet either.

what's more depressing , the lack of deals today or grown people spending NYE on a Lego forum ?

Finished up the Mack this morning. It’s huge. Really enjoyed the build. Will let it sit for a month then disassemble for the garbage truck build.

Sold a Pop Star Tour Bus today for $55 locally on Facebook Marketplace, made just over $16. It took a while to sell this for some reason and it never sold on BrickLink over the past two Christmas selling seasons despite lowering the price (was asking $63.95). The buyer worked for a child and family services program and that is where this set is going. He was very happy with the price and resulted in a connection for future sales / a repeat buyer. Sometimes it is not about how much we all make from a sale, but the joy it brings to someone, where it goes in the end and making connections.

Thought it was not today, this past weekend my family and I used some of our Lego profits to buy a beagle /cocker spaniel rescue puppy. I did not even know a puppy was on the radar until a day before it happened. She is quite the little barker and is now quiet at the moment after a little training. Fingers crossed. The kids are so happy! Times like this help my wife see the value of Lego investing, if only for a moment.

Same story here .. But a goldendoodle pup. No barking, but lots of nipping. We all adore her though ...

Hell. I think hell is the word you’re thinking of. Because that’s what Fry’s is to me.

i like how ba is just figuring out we're looosers just now - lol. that we're safe and warm at home instead of being pi#$ed on and breathing in human exhaust standing in rain w/o access to restroom for over 12 hours in a cattle pen in times sq makes me less.... ... something? ? ? i'll take @ home loser for $500 and the win alex. happy new year brickpickers eastern time .

That’s more than the whole Australian LEGO Shop at Home warehouse.

Bought 5, redeemed $40 in points, and got $21 back

This looks great, nice job! I have an extra 41493 if you are interested. Who would have known at the time Black Panther would become so popular. I would advise against it because once you have one you will have to complete the 2016 SDCC set and 41490 is pricey but you will need something to keep things symmetrical.

Baby raptor Polybags (30382) are showing .38 cents at Target ? DPCI: 204-00-0004

Hmmm, I’d buy at that price.

Haha I know exactly which one you are talking about, and I have not been in there for a couple of years I don't think for exactly that reason.

Arm swooped 90% off Holiday Lights ?

FYI Target online has the new battle packs for 20% off online https://www.target.com/p/lego-star-wars-inferno-squad-battle-pack-75226/-/A-75562333 https://www.target.com/p/lego-star-wars-75225/-/A-75562332

I just stopped bothering with them last year. The store is actually convenient for me...right across the street from a nearby Target. But the lack of accurate pricing (or even wildly inaccurate pricing signage) or an easy way to check just makes it not worth it for me.

Didn’t grab any, but saw BB-8 for $50.00. Looks like the second round of markdowns is underway.

UCS Y-Wing continue to fall. Now at 26% off. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07C8SR1D4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

I’ll start the 2019 thread later today

Mainly the sets with Limit 1.

I have a three month old, so sitting at home is my new New Year's celebration, for at least one year.

Frys.com has a number of clearance sets available at 50% off with daily code. Limit 1 of each per customer.

Found a lone 75218 X-Wing at 50% off at my local Costco

Two things: 1. The 2x BH packaging. Feel it is like handling an ancient dead sea scroll each time I touch it. Nearly impossible to keep mint. 2. A few hundred eBay sales over the last 60+ days and 3 returns. All 3 from California buyers. All 3 gave BS reasons for returning. 70+ feedbacks added - 2 were negative and came from California buyers (unrelated to returns); 1 said set "didn't seem new" (it was listed as damaged open box w/ sealed bags), the other said set was smaller than they thought. I have family in Los Altos and think it's the most beautiful of the 50 states, but dang it seems there are a disproportionate # of fruitcakes on the left coast.

I have to make two trips. 86 miles round trip each time. I originally discovered this after I found 21033 Chicago's for $15.98 via the app. Turns out they had 2. But.... 44x 42079 Forklifts marked lower in store @ $22.48 52x 41195 Emily & Noctura's Showdown @ $22.48 18x 21029 Buckingham Palace's @ $24.98 63x 21032 Sydney's @ $14.98 27x 76099 SH Rhino Face Off's @ $9.98 1x 41318 Hospital @ 69.98 4x 21041 Great Walls @ $24.98 8x 41196 Treebat's @ $34.98 11x Ron & Dumbledore BH @ $9.98 4x Marty BTTF BH @ $9.98 7x Hermoine BH @ $4.98 12x Various City - mostly Jungle @ 60% off - (50% off the already 20% off list price) 8x 75167 Bounty Hunter Battle Packs @ $7.48 16x Various Ninjago Movie - highlight was 2x Temple Ulitmate Weapon's $49.98 2x calls to credit card company confirming charges while annoyed soccer mom's looked on. I ended up passing on most of the 50% off 75887 Hybrid Porsches... I can't sell via FBA and not sure about that one post retirement. I am having a few drinks tonight.

Been shutdown a few times, have always been paid (later...never guaranteed, but...). If your salary is decent, never quit a federal job, just don't do it.

Today my son built the 2014 version of the City Police Station with no help from me at all that I bought new a few years ago. It was great to see him take a technology break. The nerd part of me had to look in the sandwich bag I gave him to put the extra pieces in after he finished and he missed a few pieces. No worries there because I always seem to miss something when I build too. Like father, like son!

I feel as though this community is not a "fan site" but more of a reseller site; so prevailing sentiments tends to be more critical based on sales (which is driven by many factors that have nothing to do with how good or bad a set may be...and to what audience) and not objective merits. I think the obvious lack of star wars in the last movie suggest licensing issues. If that's the case then I don't think we will see SW stuff in the next movie.

Having to be at work today because of the government shutdown and working without pay... Not being with my family because they are with my wife's family.
