Build it Slappy! Damn reseller!

Great, now Ed and I need to create a Brickpicker Addiction Clinic! I never saw this coming a few years ago when I started typing the first few lines of code Welcome to the site!!!

You didn't have to prove to us you purchased OJ and Hostess cakes . Oh, i see you also puchased Lego.

Brick City Depot has recently put up digital instructions for sale on building yet another classic modular design of theirs. Here is a link to the page.

Edit: my file won't upload to the post Can someone delete this till I figure out how to get it to work trim.G0fsa8.MOV

I saw this walmart have 20 set 9472 for $40 each. Should I buy them all since they are retired or no?

So good believe me. I have no doubt that if my wife divorces me, Lego sets will be mentioned several times in the divorce settlement.

There is no way I would accept that. No way at all. And I am not a "box snob". The box art and box quality on this limited set has a lot of value.

You missed the joke. He just bought a gigantic lot a few weeks ago and has been putting sets together ever since. The lot he picked up is a dream come true.

I try to ask the following questions: 1. Do they smoke or have pets. The worst collection is the dirty, nasty bucket that you have to dig through. I still buy with both of those but it gives me clues as to what the extent of the damage will likely be, clumps of nasty dog hair or fine little white cat hair in the bottom of the tub. 2. Look for Mini Figures Just watch out for mixed lots. Yesterday I bought a nice tub. Probably 30lbs for $60. Looked like some great Star Wars and Indiana Jones figures. They were all there but no sets. The tub was def a mixed lot. Like large pieces that should have mates but are stand alone. I'll still double my money but it won't be amazing. 3. Look at the colors. If you see the tons of primary colors (especially bricks) it's probably going to have a lot of bucket-O-bricks type stuff. If you see tons of blacks and grey with splashes of color I'd probably think Star Wars. If you see lots of earth tones probably themes like Kingdoms, HP, POP, Indiana Jones, etc. Most collections will have a mix of stuff but after a while you develop a 6th sense as to what will probably be in the collection.

Welcome to the madness. I too speak the language of sports cards and Legos.

Weather top was retired without warning, and most were caught off guard. Investers didn't get a chance to stock up like the orc forge. Weather top was overpriced to begin with, so many passed it up. It was a poor seller at $60. Maybe that is why Lego retired it so soon. This set is likely to be the only lotr Lego set with the ringwrith mini figs. This will drive prices up. I wouldn't be surprised if less weather top sets were produced than the orc forge. Attack on weather top is definfintly a set that is flying under the radar.

Honestly, if it were me, I`d buy 4 Tower Bridges with the money. Maybe 3 and then a couple Weathertop, but to buy 20 just seems a bit redundant. If you have the cash to invest, I`d buy the bigger sets. Less Transactions when it comes to sales, and still going to generate lots of protit. Just my $.02 though

Here's the next entry - meet the next TechChicken (yup, the name has changed) crew member - Junior! Here are a few pictures: From the front From the back With the crew Here's a link to the gallery:

Hero Factory. The packaging is disgusting. I feel like I'm looking at a package of dog biscuits. For the record, Bionicle does not fall into the HF category. EDIT: Plus the pieces are huge and clunky compared to old Bionicle and Technic sets. A character is made with like 20 pieces.

FINALLY got my KISS K'nex for $2.98

I posted pic from cell...couple times....not working...I gave up. thanks anyway.... this is fixed one....

Honestly I would avoid the games like the plague. Unless you are after the unique parts in the set, it isn't something you will see big returns on.

BIG DAY for me! 17 Werewolf for 9.98 11 Caps for 6.48 3 Mirkwood Spider's 14.98 1 Swamp Creature 3.48 This was me!

This is great! If I made more money, I might budge for the fun of it, haha. I remember listing a Tiger Woods Bobble-head with 14 barbies once. It sadly didn't sell. Nobody gets my humor...

I was going to but $25 is no horsing around money. If it was $10, I would have. Then I would have resisted it on eBay as "Lego Death Vader from Lord of the Rings w/ Mr. Ed. complete"

"Darth Vader rides bareback." Nothing else needs to be said. haha

All the ones that Freakin Walmart has marked as clearance but is actually REGULAR PRICE!!!!!!!!!!

Now I need to start a Lego business.

That is amazing!
