As a few of you may remember, I bought a used TB for $130 off eBay a while ago. I completed the build today, and I am thoroughly impressed. I estimated that I spent 9 hours on the build in total. Here are some pictures including a few from unusual angles that most people don't see. Completed build: Slightly odd for the road to be uneven, but neccessary for the bridge to fold. Problem can be easily fixed by adding a flat plate. Coolest part of the build in my opinion. I really like that the slopes and plates match up so well. Uniquely printed shield, one for each side. Very nice little display window. Another nice touch to the set: mini cars. It's amazing what you can build with 10-20 little bricks! It's interesting that Jamie Berard (designer of the TB) decided to change to a different construction of the side columns rather than using the cheese-slopes lined up. Personally, I would have preferred a standardized system across the board. Normal construction: Construction of the top layer: Bird's-eye view of the interior of one of the towers: Views of the underside of the blue overpass of the bridge: Underside of the bridge: View of the length of the entire bridge: Interior of one of the towers. I tried to fit my camera lense inside, but it is too big. This is the best I could manage: Panels that give the TB the columns for each tower are attached using a basic SNOT technique (Stud ******ot O****** Top): In the end, there were only 5 missing pieces that I couldn't fulfill with my own pieces: 3 1x1 tan flat bricks, and two 2x2 tan flat tiles. Not bad. I'll just message the seller to see if he can find them, and if not, free replacement bricks from Lego CS.

2.5 years in, I have my stash unless there is another discount that entices me. This will be gold when it reaches the afterlife.

It's a french tradition.

We need a thread to reminisce in at least. I really miss those threads where a certain member would buy every piece of clearance he could then the next day post regretful pictures of his way too full house and wonder what happened. Or the boastful tales of returning mountains of product to the LEGO just to "stick it to the man" because ponytail wouldn't help him out. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Brickpicker mobile app

Welcome - and the Aussie Invasion continues!!!!

And an update of the frequency graph showing numbers retired by month:

OK I have been through the list on Lego shop again. I've identified 53 sets that have "Retired Product" status that weren't on my last update. Here is a list of them along with the last date they were available in stock according to Brickset I have also attached the full updated list for people who want the lot. EOL dates table.xlsx

Here is what I got when I entered all of the known sets into My Brickfolio. I know there are still some in the containers that I will need to piece together. Not bad so far. Pics coming soon.

I always sort by type using the bricklink categories as a guide. It's very easy to find a black 2x2 corner plate in a sea of similar type/size plates. It's hard to find the same piece in a sea of black.

That's like telling superman who Clark kent is

Since nobody else seems to want to... (we all know people are getting the email notifications). Supraboy888 is an ex-user from the Vancouver area who boasted time and again about all the good deals he was getting (mostly illegally by failing to declare what he was bringing back at the Can-US border). He then spoke grandiose tales of selling his goods for small fortunes on Kijiji and other local selling sites/markets. When he sold a $20 set for $40 it was $25 of pure profit. (math mistake intentional) But his most famous quote (paraphrased of course) was that he could sell his goods out of his trunk in the TRU parking lot anytime anyplace for more than MSRP like "hotcakes". He has been banned and I can't remember what thread famous brag that was in. I don't remember exactly why he was banned other than he was just a real d*** in the forums. He stills sells locally on Kijiji and from what I understand he sells for quite small margins. I can't speak if you're truly selling them for the markup you've said (only you know the truth) but people are just reminiscing at your expense about a fool of a member. I think the advice here is .. be humble, don't act like a Supraboy888 and we'll all just get along. PS Vancouver does seem like a very good resellers market. There is definitely the population to support some large scale reselling so I'm not doubting you've scored some good deals. Sounds like you're piggybacking your costs onto some business expenses (i.e. gas $) but it never goes over well when people claim it costs them nothing to score such good deals... At a minimum takes "time" which is something not every member has in boat loads, or trunks full.

Thats unforgivable. I would have put myself up for adoption.

I think my son needs this one for his first Christmas

If you mean take up tons of space, give you a hernia as you carry it into the post office, and leave you lying awake at night after it ships praying that the buyer doesn't open an "item not received" claim against you...don't worry, it will!

Today I went to my parents house and got all of my old Legos. I had the foresight to organize very well before I stopped collecting. These sets are all from the late 80s and early 90s. Most of them are complete with instructions and boxes. There are also a bunch of old Lego Magazines in an envelope. I will be doing inventory, and some building as time permits.

Box condition is one of those topics that has been discussed extensively. Bottom line, it really doesn`t effect the value that much. Personally something like this would just be a waste of time to do, don`t worry about it. If the box is smashed/completely crushed it`s one thing, but small damage like this is fine. Most buyers buy to build thus eliminating the need for a perfect box. Some members here are very particular about this, for their own reasons, but it`s definitely not something to worry about most of the time.

The pair I got delivered today from TRU are 42R1. Minty fresh in the lego carton.

Says the person who is always claiming sets are "done".

this eurobricks review states, "in the box we get nine numbered bags, one bag with big plates and the white rope". looks to be 10 total bags. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=77381 i'll be able to confirm myself in a couple of weeks as i made a trade that will bring me an opened box / sealed bag set.

This was listed in the communication entitled "Updates to the eBay User Agreement, User Privacy Notice and Money Back Guarantee" which I received yesterday: Consistent After-Sale Experience. We updated the policy to reflect that we're simplifying the after-sale experience for buyers and sellers with a new improved return process that gives buyers a more convenient and consistent way to return items

Great pictures and a great build!

Regardless on when the set actually retires, I think that it will be a great seller for Christmas 2015. With the new SW movie out two weeks before Christmas, people would definitely want this set.

Welcome, Littlepalms.

Can I just publicly tell you how much I love you and your graphs and spreadsheets? My OCD heart skips a beat. You're doing my work for me. Thank you.

Why didnt i buy more malevolences? I had a hunch.

Nice!! I have set 1786 as well. It's in pieces now but it's somewhere around here......

Welcome, Be prepared to lose a room!!

Welcome to Brickpicker!

That was fantastic! Just needs hotcakes vendor to the side or maybe change the pizza hut logo to "hotcakes"

Two Face Chase for $160...even after fees, nice profit for only holding less than a year. only 3 left to sell, a winner superhero set for sure along with Hulk and Wolverine.

And he's a banker by trade....

Talked to Lego LEGO Shop at Home they said SSD page was removed from website to avoid end user confusion. They are getting one last batch to fill backorders they allowed as this shipment was unexpected and that after this there is no more. If you have a backorder in USA I think you will get it.

Wow

First off...I guess I'm the only one that separates by color. I just see colors, I don't see the individual bricks until I start looking. I may have to try it the other way though. Wow. I have tons of bricks, and in really don't want to get a full blown Bricklink store going. But that method just sings to my OCD, and really makes me want to try.

Three more Hobbit sets...witch king battle....Attack on Lake Town...The Battle of Five Armies. (Azog Minifig) http://www.thebrickfan.com/images-of-lego-the-hobbit-october-2014-wave-surfaces/ Prolly old news to most but shared just in case...

Wait for the voting results and pick the one with the least amount of votes. Sometimes you have to go against the grain of what everyone else is stocking up on. Or just get the R2

For what your sorting though, sorting by color should be fine. I have sorted by color on similar sized lots and finding pieces was relatively easy. One tip that you should do is to sort about certain pieces by color. One of my bulk lots had a lot of blac 2x2 bricks and I separated them from the beginning so they would not interfere with the other black pieces.

Welcome! Always good to see more people getting their kids into Lego at a young age. Mine are 7 and 4 and we've got them completely addicted! PS Don't throw away the boxes if you don't have too... I'm sorry I threw away all my childhood toy boxes and instructions.

Hello! Welcome to Brickpicker!

Welcome to the site, gotta ask... Oregon or Maine? Both are cool towns in my opinion.

It's a shame members like Supraboy and TheHobbyRat, etc are no longer around. I am not sure if any one can replace them

TRU parking lot, B-Wing pilots are wearing Exo-Suits, it's craaaaazy!

Maersk Train #10219 6 x Number #1 bags 6 x Number #2 bags 2 x Unnumbered bags 2 instruction booklets + a sheet of sticker in a bag 3 train base plates not in bag

Here is the list hope it can help you!! I like it and im planing to buy these pieces to smoot the head!!

I'm going to go ahead and say that's the largest private collection of official LEGO sets I have EVER seen. I mean seriously. When the camera first turned around to face the entire room. When the camera moves upward to see the hanging shelves. When the camera moves into an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SECOND ROOM EQUALLY FILLED WITH LEGO. It's like a game of Where's Waldo, but with every LEGO set imaginable. "Does he have the- yep, it's right there. What about the- oh, right there next to the other UCS sets."
