Saw this on Craigslist 12 mins after seller posted. No pics posted in the ad, but the seller told me via text that the sets are complete with manuals, no boxes. I've got some Legos for sale. Buy 'em all for $35. Or see individual prices below. Comes with all instruction manuals. $50 - Harry Potter Great Hall $5 - Harry Potter with Owl on Platform to school $5 - Lego City Hot Dog Stand $10 - Lego City Arctic Ice Crawler I don't know what kind of math (or meth) he was doing, but I picked them all up for $35. Dude turned out to be a nice guy. I also bought a couple of Wii games from him for $15 for my kids and he threw in a third game for free.9 points

Finally cracked open the seals on the 10193 Medieval Market Village I bought on EBay several years ago. Built it and now working on "winterizing" the set so it can go under the tree. As this was the first time I built a 10yr old set "fresh from the factory", a couple of observations: - 2010 Reddish Brown SUCKS. Lots of cracking noises when placing bricks. One rounded window frame broke part of the bottom antistuds off (luckily these are plentiful available) - on first use ever! - Numbered bags for large sets are such a help. I had to dump 1600+ bricks on a table and do a lot of searching, as this set has no numbered bags. - Instructions really fail in color recognition. It was often hard to distinguish Black, DBG and LBG, as well as Tan vs Pearl Gold vs Pink, to the point that at the end I had to break down the chimney on the first house because I had used an LBG 1x4 plate instead of a DBG 1x4. - The big tree build is finnicky. Especially when trying to add the white flowers/blossoms to the tree. That said, the set is really solid and once I do my winterization I think it'll look great in my Winter Village.8 points

West Coast, yes. I was able to sneak a peek a fear minutes ago. Here’s my latest view: We’ve been watching the approach the last few weeks. Very cool site! No telescopes at my house tho.3 points

LEGO needs to upgrade and re-lease this set as Harry Potter Hogsmeade (then no "winterizing" needed)2 points

I'm a huge space nerd, so this was pretty damn awesome to experience. Gotta say that the 2017 eclipse was probably the coolest though…we were dead center in the path of totality right outside of Kansas City. No telescope needed!2 points

Amen. It's just really refreshing to have female characters who DON'T function as eye candy, a love interest 20 years younger than the male lead, a token diversity squad member, or a damsel in distress needing to be saved.2 points

So you haven't seen this from back in May? Sure it has been slow, I think the addition of US sales tax really pushed this back. https://www.bricklink.com/r3/main.page There is a whole article about it here: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/community/newsview.page?newsid=52 It will exist along side BL how it is now for more advanced users and for people who are super cranky and hate change.1 point

My last sent package that was up in limbo is out for delivery today ... phew. But I'm big time FBA and only a few EBay and BL/BO orders. LEGO shipments OTOH are still all over the place. Have a few orders from 12/8 that are still in "Pre-shipment" according to USPS.1 point

Hi everyone, I resell mostly SW sets (because it's the area I know most about) as a hobby. I use the income to fund my own lego purchases. I also design mocs for fun. Been checking out Brickpicker for a long time and while I'm not at the level of volume or dedication as many of you I do my best to make the most level headed decisions about my purchases - for resale that is - for personal use all logic is out the window! Glad to be here and to continue to learn the best methods to increase my margins!1 point

Can we just say how embarrassing it is on how much BL has missed such an opportunity to really beef up the traffic going through the site. When their Lego sets were 75-90% sold out at LEGO Shop at Home, they didn't once even mention BL has an alternative option to shop at. To me, shame on them for being terrible salesmen and opportunists. BUT, this is nothing new anyways, just very very sad on how much they suck at trying to actually make BL popular. Also, I'll add an example. If you search for any Retired Lego Set on google. Bricklink should pop up at least on the 1st page. It doesn't and I would be surprised if it showed up by page 10 which doesn't matter, because if you are not within 1 half-scroll down the page from the initial search, it is too late and you won't get clicked on. Nothing shows up, in my examples that I have tried, when clicking the "shopping" tab either. It almost appears as if they are trying NOT to get noticed.1 point

I was mostly oblivious to the attack until now. It's baffling to me that Solarwinds got hacked, had code elevated to release and no one noticed. We have code line analysis and jar analysis that is run before going to a QA environment. Then the build and deploy to production blocks your push if a single character was modified up to 2 weeks before production. We have to get director approval if even a small property file change needs to be made at that time. I work for a non-tech based company. I'm guessing we are going to start seeing more aggressive security scrutiny on third party software at a corporate level anyway. With a security breach this bad I can't imagine how difficult it is to clean up. How do you trace all the possible locations they can embed new backdoors, understand the data that was compromised, or servers that may be impacted. All it takes is access to a random employee's computer to gain access to the network again Best of luck @exciter11 point

We don’t know when in the timeline the ending of Rebels takes place. Filoni has even said that things aren’t necessarily in order. At the end of Rebels, Ahsoka is white-rob clad. She wasn’t there yet in Mando. I suspect she’s still hunting for Thrawn right now. Thrawn has probably been in contact now, and she’s gotten wind of that. But doesn’t know where he is. Once she finds Thrawn’s location, that’s when she recruits Sabine (ending of Rebels) to go after Ezra.1 point

My advice: send one more email expressing your sympathy with his situation but that there is nothing you can do. He can pay the import fees or refuse delivery, and you will refund once the package is back to you (with all the deductions yada yada). Then stop responding. The more you engage, the more he will try to make this your problem.1 point

Ask them to confirm the condition of the package, and that the item arrived in good shape. Get that in writing before you explain to them that you aren't responsible for import fees.1 point

I love how people suggested we should be running a dual tracking system. I'm just curious, not for tax purposes, but this site was how I was tracking what sets I owned and how many of them I had if more than one. I have since moved to an excel spreadsheet and inventoried a bunch of rubber maids and boxes full of stuff; but I did have all my dates and purchases prices stored here. I don't have receipts lying around from 10 years ago except for a few types of items like my homes, automobiles and jewelry. I'm a selective collector not an investor, the site attracted me because I could quickly update purchases. Plus I actually found sets from my childhood. Remember when firemen had multiple swivels on their arms and you built there body from 2x2 blocks? I found that and a few others in the attic. The site was useful to show me that I was missing a lot of pieces if I wanted to make it complete.1 point

Went to Yosemite on Saturday. Here's of pic of me and the kids in Yosemite Valley with El Capitan on the left and Half Dome all the way in the back. I haven't been back in 20+ years and it was our kids' first time. We had a great time hiking a few trails. The air quality wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad either. We also got to see a couple of bears (from far away), and one even climbed up a tree! We were surprised at how fast and easy it did it.1 point
