Great rainy day off to organize my “to be built” sets. Still working on the Castle MOC and only 1/3 of the way through HP Icons set. Hopefully we get some snow this year.

Agree with the Technic opinions While I can respect a Technic build, it doesn't provide (IMO) the real LEGO building experience.

And to all a good night

If you live within distance of the Mall of America, there is a 15% off purchase coupon active at their website that can be used on the AT-AT and several other sets. Website is a bit of a nightmare to maneuver though ... https://shop.mallofamerica.com/product/at-at-lego-c137a2?model=0&variant=0

Out of boredom, I pretended to be somebody else…twice. Lol yay Lego!

The return of Toycentric / bird-e has also not helped things. That a s s h o l e artificially keeps prices down. Which is easy to do when you're dropshipping from eBay and taking zero risk yourself to purchase, store and list product. I really hope Amazon gives him the boot again more quickly than they did last time.

You can take it apart. Lots of hype over a non issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Back from a long stint away helping family, finally made some headway on sorting out my garage... that was until I found a few boxes of stashed Space stuff... Been building a lot of Lego Friends stuff with my niece so to get back to space-based stuff is wonderful Planning on redoing the house and hope to get some proper display cases but bought some cheap ones from amazon for my nephew for Xmas for his Star Wars figs and decided to experiment... Think I will have to order him some more! It is great to be in my own home again 🍷 Also made my first Bricklink order today so am excited to see how that goes too 😊

Last night my daughter and I took the Lego Christmas sets out of the bins. In the picture below she is explaining the finer details of her work to my wife. @ravenb99, that is the Lightning postgame show on the TV. Go Bolts!

Could be the reason…

Plenty of Santa's Yards in the wild. You might have thought of Santa's Livingroom

I’d wait for a good GWP promo or double VIP or something. With mine I got the tin sign, Santa’s yard, and lightsaber. I also got enough points to use for the Mandalorian armorer set. So it stung a little bit less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s a good question. Technic building is not typically my favorite. With that being said one of the most satisfying builds I can remember is the UCS Shuttle. I’ve never built anything this large so I’m thinking that the sense of accomplishment will offset some of the Technic “grind”.

In the middle of building. The scale of it is crazy. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk

Do it! At worst you build it, enjoy it a while and then sell it for basically what you paid for it.

Many would likely say Nay - But if you really want it, Yay.

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/lunar-research-base-60350 This? It looks ok. Overpriced, typical City looking set with a few nods to Classic Space. I was thinking something more retro inspired. Like Benny’s Spaceship but a moonbase.

The new 'clock tower' is more like a small story-and-a half-building with a clock in the middle. I think it's actually called the 'hospital wing'. Prob $50-$75 max. There's a bunch of video reactions on youtube to the Lego spring catalog 'leak'.

Someone posted pics of the entire January 2022 lego catalog online and not many surprises but the Clock Tower is getting remade.

target brought back the buy $50 get $10 gc deal on some sets including christmas wreath and discounted warhol art.

I could be wrong, but I don't think it will affect you since Amazon allow you to cancel within 24 hours.

And boats

I just tell them I agree. I'd never pay that much either.

I would use the extra large box from Homedepot (24x20x21) https://www.homedepot.com/p/The-Home-Depot-24-in-L-x-20-in-W-x-21-in-D-Extra-Large-Moving-Box-with-Handles-XLBX/316235468 You can then resize it to 24x20x6 by either cutting the extra height off the box or keep them to make a better cushion.

The one thing I have over a lot of other sellers is patience and time I am already totally in the black on my investments, so I can wait

I sent in my 75929 when the going rate was $159.99. It's $128 right now thanks to Toy Planet. SMH. Even though I typically only send in sets that have retired for at least 2 years, even those struggle at the moment. Just went in and did a massive "match the buybox" adjustment - luckily that immediately resulted in several sales, but at a lower price point than where I had hoped to sell based on where prices were over the summer. Glad I sold a bunch in September before the mad holiday rush started. I hope January will be better.

Yep. The silly Cars 3 junior sets blew up in price after forever and most of the advent calendars from 3+ years ago did as well. I really wish I’d kept more of those Jungle Explorer sets or basically any theme from that time frame. Dunno how long this pattern lasts, but the key to higher returns for the moment is extending hold times. With that comes the increased risks of remakes, gates, more cert requests, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Adidas superstar is 20% off at Lego s@h

Yeah, my sales/profit since November 1st are about the same as 2019, but 50% down from last year. The March 2020 through March 2021 sales period will probably never be matched again.

I’ve been doing well selling those LOTR and LR sets

I would be willing to bet it's another Amazon seller trying to thin out the (suddenly immense) competition by sending out fake letters. That makes much more sense than Lego suddenly trying to shut down resellers, who have helped Lego thrive.

Watched this sketch a long time ago. Phil Hartman was one of the best part of SNL. Also, the guy playing Sulu in the sketch above also played Sulu here. Probably why the weight joke

I got a honey email with a 25% gold exclusive offer for the Mario Bowser ship. With the VIP 5% it’s basically a 30% discount in total. Not sure if it’s available to everyone but fyi just in case and if interested.

Ha! UCS sets are more or less snap together model kits. The only Lego that truly imbue the spirit are the 3 in 1 Creator sets.

So is a $800 price tag

MBOM 30628 still available in store B&N (Ymmv) as a promo for purchasing any HP sets that total $50+

I reclaimed and built the 442 Space Shuttle and 6813 Galactic Chief sets from my childhood parts bin and Bricklinked the few pieces I was missing or were yellowed. You reminded me I bought and never built this great set. Thanks!

2022 Retirements for Ideas (as of now): 21318 Treehouse 21319 Central Perk 21321 International Space Station 21324 Sesame Street 21326 Winnie the Pooh Saturn V is also schduled to go in 2022. Hope this helps.

pretty sure someone's 1 job is to go around the various LEGO manufacturing site to damage or lose random piece molds...during LEGO's history someone high up discovered that purposely introducing a bit of chaos is good for the brand...it forces innovation and flexibility. THIS is the ONLY explanation for the retirement schedule every year

What did you do in that instance? My worst spider wrap experience was when a Walmart clerk couldn't figure out how to get a spider wrap off of one of the older At-Ats that was on sale after xmas so decided that the best way to deal with it was to crush the box so much that she could get the spider wrap off without unlatching it.
