Broke out a $35 75157 Captain Rex's AT-TR since the price hasn't moved and we wanted something to build...mostly for the 5th Brother mini-fig that the kids wanted. Not a great looking set but we at least had fun building it. In other news...if anyone is looking for a used 75157 that is complete except for the 5th Brother mini-figure, I know a guy. ?

FYI, I posted some info in the SW 2019 thread on this site. I contacted Lego via their chat function last night to ask about obtaining this replacement fig. The CS rep indicated that indeed they did replace the fig recently so that the set would be more accurate to the movie scene and would send me one free of charge.

This reminds me of Rocket Punch from Mazinger from the 70s, which was (and still is) ultra popular in Japan and the rest of asia. I can imagine boys going nuts over it, not so much the AFOL.

Build this cutie today New Year Rooster 2017: Fun build ?

This front-opening shadow box holding 48 well-spaced minifigs is what I’ve created with the below supplies: - $30: Shadow Box (16”x20”) from Hobby Lobby (SKU: 175893) - $6: White Foam Core Board (for interior back & sides) from Hobby Lobby (2x+ can be made) - $3: 50x of 1x2 white plates from LEGO Bricks & Pieces (#302301) - $5: 50x of 1x2 white bricks from LEGO Bricks & Pieces (#300401) - $6.50: 50x of 1x2 white bricks w/ knobs from LEGO Bricks & Pieces (#6058177) - $3: 50x of 1x2 white tile from LEGO Bricks & Pieces (#306901) Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Built the UCS Y-Wing this weekend. Better than expected, highly recommended. My only real gripe is the stickers.

So that means its value is now nil. Sell while you can!

Exactly. They have no clue or are instructed not to say anything. Each rep had different advice. One even told me to come up with fake accounts.

or how droids and wookies can understand all languages but are only able to communicate in beeps and grunts.

In the name of social justice (or the threat of a social media mob) they would. If LEGO had been contacted regarding the apparent whitewashing of LEGO characters - the price of doing nothing could be very costly.

First thing I would recommend is don't think of it as investing. It's Lego reselling. Be prepared to deal with all the ups and downs of selling before you start buying up sets. If you have sold on ebay or amazon you already know all the headaches that can come with that. If not read up. Welcome to the group.

Oh sure, they'll adjust it, then cancel it again. haha

Better luck than me. Called customer service this morning and was told the parts were no longer available, but would do some research and email me back.

Thanks for the tip! Got one headed my way also!

Gift cards don't work. Same message. After three weeks of non purchasing, Walmart accepted my single BB-8 order.

Thanos Inifnity Gauntlet for my left hand and this thing for the right hand... Who is with me???

Tricky issue. Once they started adding skin colors to characters they have to be consistent and careful. With normal sets and also things like emoticons I prefer the neutral yellow, but this was a bit awkward once Lego started doing real-life depictions like Lando. I would expect this not to be whitewashing, but just a mistake of not checking the look of a small role in the movie. I think it is good to correct the mistake. Once you're going down the path of including skin colors, you'd better be consistent.

Correct me if I am wrong.....but this really looks like a "Giant Blue Fist" does anyone else see it ?? Udpate: found this info on the web.... The 1,820 piece model, released in summer 2019, gives builders of all ages the chance to take control of all-action hero Dangervest’s vessel, shaped like a fist and featuring a rapid-fire, 6-missile spring-loaded shooter with shooting function and a trigger in the back, allowing them to role-play space missions with Rex, Emmet and Rex’s raptor crew.

Phew glad this has more baby raptors. Was worried Walmart was finally running low...

TK was good many years ago for retired stuff - I picked up a Potter castle and bus there a long time ago. Agree with Tabby now, though, mostly over priced and smashed up tat.

Fixed.

Check your 75188s? i am extremely skeptical of this brickset forum thread https://forum.brickset.com/discussion/29781/finch-dallow-bomber-minifigure Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Found a long forgotten Louvre, paired with an Eiffel and the last set of HP figs at this BN. Box is a little beat but not a bad find. Sent from my SM-G935V using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

I also built 30528. Here’s all three builds.

I might be a little biased since I'm a big fan of Nick Offerman, pirates, and 50% off Lego, but this is a pretty cool little polybag.

somehow that banana is both awesome and creepy at the same time.....

The printed popcorn brick makes this a winner in my book.

Regardless, a few years ago Tabby was never buying City again and it's trash. Everyone else said you are ok with select sets. Selling City Prison Island for $300+ sure hurts the bottom line. Back on topic, this UCS Snowspeeder is a glorious vehicle.

To eliminator’s point, in 2003 I was in grade 10 and had zero interest in Lego. 14 years later I’m still not wealthy enough for the original. There’s a large group of people in my age bracket that missed out on the first iteration and would never consider the aftermarket price it was holding. That made the re-release very desirable for me.
