The Lighthouse My story For this modular (creator) building was that the The Lighthouse is based for a creation to fit in the Sea front Village. I built this one on Lego Digital Designer (LDD). I really believe that this model could have a lot of genuine interest for fans of my Sea front Village sets. This is the fifth building that I will be submitting. Summary A lighthouse is a tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses, and to serve as a navigational aid for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways. Lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, and safe entries to harbors, and can assist in aerial navigation. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of maintenance and use of electronic navigational systems. On a clear day you can see forever.. How often can you see a light house? Popular with tourists, get in early and enjoy the ambiance.. A short walk from the Lighthouse there is an Old Fishing Store down the road, which has bait and tackle. Or go around the lighthouse and enjoy a magnificent view. The Lighthouse is under some construction and is also getting painted. The following is a list of the Lighthouse items: Minifig: Carpenter, Fisherman, Painters and Lighthouse manager. Sealife: Crabs, Starfish, Sea grass, Seagull, And more Boat: Rowing boat The building consists of roughly 2380 parts and a boat, office, bedroom, kitchen, deck with a porch and outhouse, light room, storage room between the cliff. I used the colors sand blue and white glow, reddish brown for the building that gives it a realistic feeling. The roofs I used the color dark stone grey and reddish brown. The roof just sits on a couple of studs so it’s easy to take of and put on. If you like this design or the idea of the The Lighthouse – Modular (Creator) Building thanks for reading and Brick On everyone ! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/163836

i hear the retired City Arctic theme is underappreciated in this continent . here's some of my pics to share that didn't make the mack minifig book.

Used Emerald Night train. Came with box, instructions, stickers still on the sheet, and two boxes of train track ($15 price tags on each box) for $240.

A couple of good sales at TRU. City Deep Sea Operation Base (60096) $59.99 ~40% off. Speed Champions Porche 911GT Finish Line (75912) $29.99 ~45% off. Retied set @ SaH.

That's because it's just known as "City" there.

Really? is that where Hoth base is? Nothing like Asian daily deals though lol

This. Pure laziness. The 10188 was iconic. The 75159 is moronic.

Greetings fellow block heads and firstly many thanks to you all for contributing to what is without doubt the friendliest forum I've ever lurked on. As somebody who has tended to exclusively surf on football forums (soccer for those in the states) with their overt and constant tribalism this place has been an absolute breath of fresh air and a real pleasure to read. I've been in the background for the last year and am one of those posters some of you have referenced on here in frustration, you know, the non-posting members who you fear snaffle all your hot tips without giving back. Why? Well, I originally joined this place simply in order to learn more about older themes and building techniques so I could help out my kids and nieces with their building passion. I never expected to get so interested in the bricks myself! You'll be delighted to learn I'm not here as a budding investor and won't be stepping on your toes in that area. Yes I have a number of unopened sets boxed up in the spare room but that's because I've gotten tired of Lego retiring sets before I get around to buying them so my policy these days is "buy it if you like it and build it when you can". (though of course if any of these rocket in value before I have the chance to build them.....) (... then I'll still build them!). Personally I'm a huge fan of the large creator expert sets, it astounds me how clever these are and what an absolute pleasure they are to build. Simultaneously challenging and relaxing (being a near middle age adult perhaps I shouldn't be admitting to the challenging part!). There's not much more I enjoy in an evening then putting a game on the TV and settling in for a building session. The Fairground Mixer is a particular favourite, I've had that one on display for the last half year and it still brings a smile to my face. I've become a regular visitor to the daily deals thread (huge thanks to the frequent contributors in those) as despite scanning Hot Deals UK for a couple of years I always seemed to miss the best ones on there. Dropping in on the daily threads I know why! You guys are seriously on the ball here and have helped me pick up several nice deals (don't panic, never more than a single copy of a set!) so again, many thanks to you all for your postings in this area. I've decided to finally post on the one hand to repeatedly thank all of youse and on the other to selfishly ask for some advice. My family and I are huge fans of all sets with action features such as exploding walls, trapdoors, falling blocks etc. The kids just love combining these sets into enormous adventures and though we have a decent collection of sets I'm struggling to find a good list of these across multiple themes. To give a few specific examples we've already gotten copies of and love the following sets: Indiana Jones - Temple of the Crystal Skull, 7627; Temple Escape, 7623; The Lost Tomb, 7621 Prince of Persia - Quest Against Time, 7572 Monster Fighters - Vampyre Castle, 9468 Lone Ranger (seriously!) - Silver Mine Shootout, 79110 Pharaoh's Quest - Scorpion Pyramid, 7327 Marvel - Attack on Avengers Tower, 76038; Jokerland, 76035 Disney Princess - far too many to mention! I'm aware there's a number of superhero sets out there that fit the bill and we do have various others in this theme but I was wondering is there a thread on this forum that vaguely covers this area? Some kind of "Best Action Feature Sets" or similar (both retired and current)? I've explored many of the nooks and crannies on here but am yet to encounter such a catch-all thread. Failing that are there any knowledgeable posters on here with some free time and thoughts to share? I'd greatly appreciate any input. I wasn't sure where to put this question and given I've learnt the protocol on here is to start a thread when you join I figured I might as well go for two birds with the one stone (albeit a year or so late!). I've never been the most loquacious with online communication (I spend all day at work on computers and try to avoid them in my free time) but given the vast amount I've absorbed from this forum I definitely owe something in return and will endeavor to contribute going forward. I'm not sure I'll be able to add much outside of enthusiasm and exuberance for all things Lego but I'll do my best! Many thanks for your time and I look forward to hot brick discussion going forward. Cheers, Jack.

I like the race. Thins inventory. I consider it the first heat. You know, the one where all the people run that don't have a chance to win? The premier heat comes a couple races later. I try to be a part of that race.

Snagged the DB. Keep an eye out, probably will be another $3 DB later today. codes are: GR8NewYr and a-wildWIN

Wow, apparently they're hiring. That's three times the monkeys the had on the development team for 75159.

I hate this set because it represents uninspired creativity which is pretty much the exact opposite of why I enjoy LEGO.

Was Loghamel's not comprehensive enough?

Got $2 through this game link - http://www.shopyourway.com/app/16250/l

Sorry - I got too excited about this actually working and didn't attach the pics. The Lego sets were in the Lego aisle with a 100% points back tag on the specific sets.

Depends on what the person wants and their principles. 1000 USD can get you a full UCS clone collection or an SSD and half an X wing. Some folk hate clones, some folk hate resellers. All I know is that every clone sold is an opportunity to sell an original lost as I doubt many people are getting both.

Nothing more needs to be said.

Found a lonely Raptor Rampage at Walmart for $25.

This re-release and LEGO's virtual lie/knowing deception about the retirement of the 10188 has had an impact on all higher valued LEGO sets. It is an impact which might be permanent.

Did someone have catty opinions about EV? I'd be fe-lying if I told you I remembered anything negative written on BP about such a glorious set. I guess I'll have to keep tabs on this thread going forward.

It has been a long time coming but Terry finally posted a Lebowski meme. Life feels complete.

You forgot the natives

4x Elves $15 Pegasus sleighs (KY Walmart) They were NOT marked at the discounted price. Glad that I found a working price scanner. Starlight Inn and Cinderella Castles were sold out completely. Shelves had been pretty much cleared of older stock... but lots of new items on the shelves (new Nexo-Knights and Batman Movie sets).

12 Airport Passenger Terminals from Shopko for $60 /each (40% off). 5 Sky High Battles for $15 /each (75% off) at WalMart. These are most likely a one off since they were the only WalMart in my area that showed that price in the app. I've been avoiding SH sets as of late, but at 75% off I'll take a chance on these. These might also be my first attempt at parting out, since the Wonder Woman fig seems to sell on eBay for about what I paid for the whole set.

Taking a break from the UCS Star Wars and built my first modular. Throughly enjoyable build!

FYI, WWW is $2 DB now.

To the criminal discussion private group! To the bubble thread! Anywhere but here! Poor @Alpinemaps only has 1 mop and 1 bucket...

I didn't know Grand Carousel is part of the Fairground theme. https://www.lego.com/en-us/creatorexpert/explore/historical-product-themes/theme-fairground I guess the themse is going to stick around for a while.

It doesn't exist or was never made public. Take a look at the previous page of this topic. I posted some pics from the 75159 manual.

Not a lie really, LEGO do this all the time: retire a set, change a few bits, then release under a different set number. However, I agree there is a permanent impact

The quote by one of the 75159 designers sums what you typed. He found the most challenging design aspect to be redesigning Vader's TIE for the larger minifig helmet.

What's funny is that most of us know in our heads the sets we were tracking that were pretty much guaranteed to go EOL, but we can't resist looking for ourselves.

I´d say 100 euros/Usd buy-in would be a safe price to double your money in a couple of years. The reason why has already been mentioned above and I am already losing buyers directly because of it - and SSD buyers are not exactly present in their thousands. Game over.

Not your eyes. I don't track Technic as I don't usually invest in it. If one catches my eye, I follow it individually. I'll add the line (as well as Architecture) to my list just for retirement tracking purposes in the future.

Many of us feel only a couple of post-2012 retired NISB sets have the potential to appreciate remotely close to many of the sets introduced in the 2000s (Taj Mahal, Grand Carousel, ISD, Cafe Corner, etc...). 10221 SSD is one of them. Some folks forget that it took years for most of the 2000s sets to apprefiste dramatically. So it wouldn't surprise me if the SSD needed 18-24 more months to see consistent global sales of $1000 / €1200 (excluding postage ) and then keep increasing steadily each yr.

Where were you the last few days while everyone was loading up on these deals? Or is this a courtesy reminder? Some people even got TRU bans ordering too many Porsche's

Took the kids to the LEGO store so we could get the LEGO Batman Movie promo poly. They also gave the kids masks.

I finally had a chance to look at the instructions manual. Oh brother. I knew many of the original 10188 designers worked on 75159 but even so, some of the Q&A comments made me laugh in disgust. Basically, the quaility of this Q&A directly relates to why there wasn't a 75159 Designer Video. Come to think about it, I can't remember the last time an exclusive large set didn't have a Designer Video. While I made nice money selling my 10188s, the AFOL in me is still angry about this reissue.
