This is why I circumvent the stupidity of myself by not having children. You might say "What if you do by accident"? I just practice Abstinence. Its easy when you are married.

Hi All. Just finished my Mini Cooper changeover project. I really didn't like the green so I went for the more Classic Cooper look. What do you guys think?? I also put it up eBay item number: 111429812246

Finally got some time and built my Exo-Suit. Awesome set....just flat out amazing..... I think he is fitting into his home quite nicely... Even the Turtle has already met some kindred spirits.... A lot more girls in space these days Now to acquire more

I hate when people buy multiples of a set yet they are unsure of its investment potential. The exo suit comes to mind. People are buying these by the caseload whining about whether or not it will be a winner and saying o well if not I have x amount of days to return. Meanwhile some can't even get one to build. Butthurt in 3......2.....1....

Great idea! Here you go....sorry for the mess on my kitchen table. Knee deep in a few other projects right now lol.

I'm getting really annoyed at the latest selling tactic on Kijiji.... "Make me an offer but don't lowball me because a local collector told me how much they are worth." Oh really? They are worth $0 unless you can sell them. Sent from Multi-Post iPod touch using Brickpicker

Well, if it happened on the day when exo-suit and research institute were released, then 7 year old may have looked out of place there. All the weird looking dudes with shifty eyes mumbling some codes would have been more common

Your wives should be arrested for leaving her "children" unattended lol

When I was a kid I always ran to the toy store or section while my mom shopped. This is dumb

Yeah because I'm gonna buy something from someone with 6 feedbacks and a member named hightimes. Lol thanks for the post.

Exo Suit @ Amazon

I got a Black Pearl and a Queen Ann's Revenge MISB

Been doing some more building to get sets ready for ebay/brick trader/craigslist. Finished 6762 Fort Legoredo today and 6763 Rapid River Village yesterday. Moving onto Pirates sets next.

Since we have a pretty popular "Complaint Thread", I thought it might be a good idea to start an "I Love It! Thread". I'd like to begin with: I love it when I make a big $500 or more purchase because of a sale or great deal and shortly afterward make enough back in sales to cover the costs and then some. It helps with the buyer's guilt.

so yesterday i was at walmart and i saw a huge display of 60032-1 that had a price above it that read 3$. this being a new set, i was curious and went around to the in store price check kiosks, each one said: see sales associate. i figured hey, if says 3$ im gonna get it for 3$. after a heated discussion at the register, i went back with an employee to show them where i found it. they looked at the display with a very aggravated look on their face and well i got it for 3$. yes i was tempted to get more than one, but hey, i didnt want to be too greedy.

Arctic Snowmobile

Built the Imperial Hotel. My GF bought it for me for my birthday...I had never done an architecture set. Unfortunately I might be hooked now. (looking at you Trevi Fountain).

PM'd you. Hopefully still have a spot open!

Gotta love a pricing error. Here in Australia, if you're in a supermarket (grocery store) and an item scans at the register at a higher price than is ticketed on the shelf, you get the first one free and any others at the correct price. Once scored a $16 box of ice creams that way. Needless to say, if I buy a small Lego set there, I watch the register pricing very closely.

Someone in my area is selling it for even cheaper... $100. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/tag/4608630951.html

Between the parts I have on hand and 3 Bricklink orders, I was able to put 2 x SDCC batmobiles together for about $30. Now I need to figure out the cheapest way to get my hands on the Juniors minifigs.

Yeah, there's a big difference between saying "let's all set the price minimum at $x" and you making an informed decision on your own to sell something at a similar price as what I've sold it at. It's just another source of information, like reviewing eBay sold listings.

me and my boys always leave mom to go to the lego aisle, that being said, are they still supervised?

if we can't get banned in Europe, placed an order for 5 Exo and 5 Insitute

A little late but I thought this was appropriate.

When you were 7, would you, voluntarily, leave Lego store??? And did you ever try to shop in the mall with 7 year old? If she left him at the mall playground for 90 minutes, I doubt anyone would even notice...

As commenter properly pointed out: "Just about every parent in the 50s and 60s would be arrested today for neglect for allowing their kids to roam free" He was 7 year old. At the Lego store. In the mall.

Since it's a UCS set aimed at AFOLs I see why they omitted flick fires.

finished the winter village cottage 10229,really like it great set, thinking of getting some of the other winter village sets to go with it.

Whaat ?? No flick missiles ? I am soo disappointed Seriously though, out of any models, the Tumbler should be the one WITH (flick) missile launchers

Exo back at Amazon limit of two

they sometimes have some discounts on retiring sets, nothing that you wont find at most retailers though .. it is def a sight seeing all the big sets on the shelf, so if you are really into Lego (not just resale), i would advise you to make the trip at some point.

ho ho ho

Sorry had to do it one of my all time favs

If you use cardboard, make sure the corrugated bits (flutes) are parallel to the spine of the instructions. Cardboard resists bending across the flutes rather than the same direction. Also the more flutes per foot the better which coincidentally enough seems to be what you get with thinner cardboard anyways. At least this way, if the instructions get bent a little they'll bend in a way less likely to damage them.

I'm in. PM sent Sent from my Passport using Brickpicker mobile app

I don't think turning over the set makes it any smaller, right?

Yep, it is. I'll post all of the info soon, but starting lineups will be 1 qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, 1 te, 1 flex (rb, wr, or te), 1 k, and 1 defense/special teams. 5 bench players. Went with the PPR as well.

Just finished Market Street and Parisian Restaurant. Market Street was much cooler than the pictures online...but definitely not the best modular. Parisian Restaurant has an insane level of detail, a somewhat meticulous build but stunning when finished!

I'm giving NMM the conspiracy theorist badge ;)

I'm bullish. I'd spend 70 or less.

For european investors: TOOS means that They have few and there's no sense to put them on the Shop....so if you call, you can buy one (no more, they say "there is only one, is the last!) Sent from my GT-I9000 using Brickpicker mobile app

As I have mentioned before, it is my opinion that this set won't be around long. It was designed and produced to appease the masses....

Your above description kind of makes you sound like a male prostitute.

I wouldn't be very worried if I were you. If it is the set for early release on the 18th then there will be plenty to be had. I highly doubt Lego would allow it to,sell out before it's actual release date to non VIP members on the 1st. On a side note the amount of paranoia and craziness and worrying that has been going on lately is ridiculous. Almost every set that is ever released, with the exception of a few,(zombies, LE technic crawler) being the only ones I can name off the top of my head, will be available to purchase without fear of missing out on it. I used to love reading and posting on these forums but lately people, not singling anyone out here, but people in General have just become almost obsessed it seems with stuff like I didn't get an order confirmation, is something wrong, should I call Lego? Should I order again? Anyone else have this problem? Your order ship yet? Am I banned? When is this set that isn't even released gonna retire and how much is it gonna be worth. I need to know now now now! It's ridiculous. Mods feel free to move or remove this post to an appropriate forum topic. Or delete it if it is too harshly worded.

Thanx, I dont however see it.

In permanent use in our Lego city - 1 X Passenger Train 7938 (used as a subway) - 1 X Public Transport Tram 8404 Sometimes in use: - 1 X 7939 Cargo Train with an extra tanker car We have about 20 feet of track in use with another 20 feet spare for the kids to play with on the floor. I wish I had more room for more trains, but at the moment we don't!
