Finally got around to building the Endurance. Picked away at it for a week in the evening. Great set.

Wishing you many happy sales and fewer returns !!!

Decided to grab my 3 missing modular before the tariffs hit. Got each for slightly below market value - paid $2.2k before taxes, including a whole lot of replacement parts for yellowing. The Green Grocer had all the white very yellowed which I replaced. A lot of LBG parts were yellowed too, but most I could place in such a way that it wasn't visible from the outside. For Market Street there was minor yellowing on the white, but almost all the light blue had severely yellowed. I was again able to turn the bricks in such a way that it wasn't noticeable. Surprisingly, Cafe Corner was pristine. I now have all the Modulars (but not all of them built yet). That's next on the list. People say these early modulars are not as fun to build as the newer ones, but I had a blast doing this. Probably fueled by the fact that sometimes you are holding a $30 part, or a handful of rare slopes at $3 each. Guess that's the investor in me ;-) Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk

Went to LEGO store yesterday for the first time in a long time and they happened to have this free build thing. In case not obvious, this is a mini steering wheel that can rotate freely and can be tilted against its base. It is amazing the types of bricks available and the kind of printing. The 3 semi transparent lines on the translucent blue flat would have been unimaginable 10 years ago.

I went and built this too. I almost paid $ on ebay for one since I missed the first build but they brought this back for some reason. I don't remember them bringing back take and builds of the same set but they probably did and I just didn't know. they had plenty to build and not much traffic.

its a coin that looks pretty cool plus a couple of other things according to the brick fan • LEGO Star Wars Joe Hogan Poster (5009512) – 1,800 points • LEGO Star Wars Pencil Case (5009393) – 1,000 points • LEGO Star Wars Jango Fett’s Firespray-Class Starship Lenticular Coin – 2,500 points

I maxed it out, there are limits.

they are only you customers when there is a problem, but aside from that they are amazon's

Looks like the one that is retiring is the 2023 car.

Need to start the clone cadet army.

Nice, thanks, and 2% Rakuten to edge a little more.

The shire is nasty hobbits to me reminiscent of 1980 huge base plates taking up most of build with those ugly green slope pieces middling side builds just unimpressive. How can they do so amazing with Rivendell and present this rubbish of a set????

the joys of selling on Amazon, Amazon will pay me for the lego and I get a free dinner

Funko buyer are the worst box queens to walk the earth and switachroo schemes and scams are abundant in that category . Wait to see what you get and then decide. Once you get it post pics and I can try to help

Here's a better update

Star Wars: May the 4th 2025 Sale Info (via Brick Tap source)

I have 200 to 300 units of Chinese furniture covers in FBA since last year eating up storage fees. One day one of my Chinese New Year sets suddenly had about 500 units in stock. It began selling and getting lots of returns and complaints. I notified Amazon it was not my inventory and that I had sold out a long time ago. I've called three times and opened two or three different cases to get it solved. The only response I've received to date from Amazon is them contacting me that they are starting their own investigations because of the high rate of return. For a while they were sending me big shipments of the product but that finally stopped. So now I am eating storage fees, return fees, customer returns, etc. Good news is that a 50 count of a set I sent in back in October just showed up in FBA 😃

More info on Jango's Slave 1

Passed, picked up several last year at Walmart for $45. Not much upside.

Lumibricks better but not great. In light of current events maybe 54%MoreBrick$

Used items from overseas can be subject to the possibility of tarriff’s so depends on where he bought them. Just paid some myself …

Nice pickups! Just to clarify there are no tariffs on used merchandise only newly imported. I thought CC and GG were amazing builds, yes the interiors are lacking compared to today’s modulars, but there is definitely a thrill in building them. MS not so much.

Mario’s miniature Question Box from Brick Journal Issue 53, October 2018:

Hmm, look to be about the same size as the Boba UCS version. But has 1000 more pieces? I was hoping it would be a little bigger to fall more in the minifig scale 'sweet spot', but at least I can display the two versions together.

I’ll take your advice, shut up and buy it now because i’ll never know what day my crystal ball might break and life becomes unpredictable or when I have to do what my kids want no matter the cost. Whew huge weight lifted, thanks again. In for 3.

I’ve seen reports of Lego banning people when they don’t return the gwp depending on what it is id buy one with one gwp or buy two with two gwp I wouldn’t return

I think it looks like crap. That boat is terrible. Add the fact that Bag End is over-priced...I am having second thoughts of getting this day one.

I don't think that Raven or TPM have ever done business with West End, but, rather, are two people who buy large collections and are trustworthy. I can vouch for both as well having bought from and sold to each multiple times over the years, as well as collaborating on larger deals. They would be good people to reach out to if you want to unload your entire inventory in one shot for a very fair price and through a very easy transaction. As for West End Toys, I've sold to them before, but never used them for consignment. The sales all went pretty smoothly given the size of the transactions. I've heard mixed reviews on the consignment side. I suspect that it is a good service for certain types of sellers, but not for everyone. The people who I know who had bad experiences were all people who had the capacity to manage their own sales, but went the consignment route because of the perceived ease. At the end of the day, the complaints they had were all rooted in their lack of control over their inventory after consigning it. I talked with West End about consignment a few years ago, but it didn't make a lot of sense for me given the infrastructure that I had already built up to move inventory and given that I'm way too Type A to be comfortable giving up the amount of control I would have had to have ceded to them to go down that road. There are some benefits to doing business with them that you won't find elsewhere (e.g., information sharing, opportunity to participate in special deals). It really comes down to what you're trying to accomplish.
