Replaced the baking element of my oven range the other day. It was pretty straightforward once I found the right Youtube video to learn from. It took about 1 hour the week prior to troubleshoot the problem (it would not heat up properly). Then 3 days for the part to arrive. Then 1/2 hour to replace the element. Youtube saved me about $80-$100 on technician fees

Pricey, but all those Sand Green parts... https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/land-rover-classic-defender-90-10317

I've been quite happy with the switch to UPS.

Funny how its just the simple little things in life that give us pleasure.

Thanks, past me. They're all here now.

I literally went through this yesterday. I am in the same situation you are. I’m an individual and it’s a very small endeavor. I selected individual, uploaded my drivers license and a bank statement and was re-verified in 5 hours. I figure that business means registered as a business in a legal sense and I have not done that. Amazon verified and sent me an “activation” email as if I was a new seller account. Everything appears as usual. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just sold another Bob Marley Exodus to Australia where it was not for sale, the going price USA is $350 before eBay fees and shipping, here is the break down: What your buyer paid Item subtotal $498.97 Shipping $0.00 GST* $49.90 Order total** $548.87 What you earned Order total $548.87 eBay collected from buyer GST*-$49.90 Selling costs Transaction fees -$66.41 Ad Fee Standard-$18.46 Order earnings $414.10 So even though they take their cut your profit is still a lot more.

Decent buy. Supposed to retire this year. I think these SW dioramas will do well. They look like Star Wars architecture.

Actual Land Rover owners should love this set just as much as their real Land Rover, then.

Saw Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves today with my family (amazon prime early preview). We liked it. Jokes were funny, dialogue was decent (some of it was excellent,) characters were good. There was a cool "cameo" for fans of the D&D cartoon from the late 1980s. It felt like they kept pretty true to the D&D world. I'm not saying it was perfect but it was fun. My high school age daughter, who plays D&D with friends, said it is her favorite movie. She liked it way more than Free Guy. It's not Lord of the Rings, but it is a fun, light-hearted, fantasy genre movie with decent action. BTW: There is a short mid-credit scene after the movie that is worth the wait.

Integrity and credibility? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Another consideration would be to compare the buy in of $179.99 vs $319.99 Other than simple forces of the market as @keymomachinementioned, buy-in will likely be the #1 driver in the high price. For comparison, the construction site has reached 2.09x of rrp vs 2.5x rrp for the Store. The supply is similar (10,000 units) and buy-in was same for everyone, so their secondary market performance will most likely be similar as is the case now. One big difference being upfront capital invested (1.78x.) Either way, as long as modular demand remains high, both of these sets will remain strong performers for the foreseeable future. Now obviously all of that analysis is thrown out the window if Lego decides to produce their own Modular Store or Construction site.

Q4 2028?

See yesterday’s Mandalorian

it is definitely worth it

I have piece-count OCD - so the fact this set is 1000pcs exactly, made it an instant buy for me 😄

How many of those listings are Toywave on?

I doubt they would let you buy them out but they wouldn't say much buying 10 3 packs or something.

Bump? I have never done the BAM, but on 4/1 they will have Lion Knight Shields, Torso and Legs from 10305. Can you just go there when they open and buy unlimited or is it a 3 pack only? Any information would be appreciated.

My thoughts exactly. Thank you for sharing!

Part 2 will include designer discussion.

That Tie Helmet plus the NFVF promotion ebay keep giving me is money for old rope. These helmets were regularly $50 something on Amazon and now selling easy for $300. Was a surge in sales recently and having watched the latest mando last night , I now know why. I knew that tie helmet was the set to get. Followed by stormy. The rest will be rubbish I’m betting as every man and his dog loads up.

That's a crazy price for a display.

Bahahahahahaha

Frustration free cartons, or just the Gunships naked in the box?

I imagine because these are just now trickling in to buyers and we'll see prices stabilize a bit lower in a couple weeks.

Is that when amazon will run out of them?

Same here. I was just feeling incredibly honest this morning

Wonder how/if this will affect a technic one 42110. I have quite a few that I am holding till Q4.

As an older adult new to lego other than lego trains I wanted to thank you for your posts. You clarified a few questions I had.

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think they do stickers across multiple pieces anymore.

awesome. Probably the best creator "icons" vehicle I've ever seen.

Surprisingly no, maybe he was too busy with Rivendell or just worked on this, but the designer is Kurt Kristiansen, LEGO Design Master commented: “Bringing the iconic Classic Land Rover Defender to brick life was no easy challenge. I had to look him up and he does not seem to have a Bricklist on Brickset but looks like he is a SW UCS designer including 10221 SSD and R2.

This is delicious, and the accessories are awesome. 3 Hoods and 2 Different engines. Very, very nice.

Really looking forward to this one. Is it a Mike Psiaki design?

LOL. Same here. Blindly went ahead and ordered. Realized later and cancelled.

Thanks Big W intern boy for selling set 76918 Speed Champs McLaren 2 pack for $29. Shelf cleared at my local and put them away for a couple of years

When I bought a bunch of windows insulator and draft stopper for 50% off from Walmart... .. only to realize I have a stack of them at the corner of my garage that I bought last year for 50% off from Walmart

Thanks all for your support. Submitted this morning. Got an email within 2 hours saying the accepted my response and released the ASIN.

Lego throws us a bone: The GWP will be available from 16 March – 9 April 2023, and will be free when you spend over US$70 / €70 / £65 from LEGO.com, based on information that LEGO has provided. A note was also included stating that this would be confirmed closer to the date.

Lookong forward to collecting all my sets tomorrow, i had to order from the French lego site as it was 20-30% lower than the swiss rrp. Good thing i don't live too far from the border.

We had a once in a lifetime experience last night for Valentine’s Day when we watched the legendary John Williams conduct at the SF Symphony!! I hate using the word surreal but it definitely felt surreal listening to the Throne Room and Finale from Star Wars A New Hope being played by the SF Symphony Orchestra with John Williams at the helm. BUT…at the end of the program, he came out again and proceeded to conduct a few more songs: A piece from the upcoming Indiana Jones 5 Movie Theme song from Schindlers List Theme song from ET And to end it all, the Imperial March from Empire Strikes Back!!!! I nearly died!!!

Here is Johnny! by timofey_tkachev

I have two 70840, NSIB, one in lego shipper.... I just thought I would ask if any one has any interesting (lego) trades they would want to make... I am not particular about NSIB... just sets I don't have... (no star wars, avengers... )

Please let this trend continue. I went all in on discounted Apocabergs, Ninjago cities, Ninjago docks, Bountys and Cloud Cities. Am I crazy? Probably... My bet is Docks will be the big winner. Everyone who builds a Ninjago city will eventually want one. At least one hopes they will...

Received 2x Gunship 75309 thrown in one big box -- no other packaging, air pillows, or paper stuffing.

Started to get my sets. Super disappointed that yet again my bricklink shipments come in looking like someone played soccer with them at UPS. I wish I could at least get a replacement for… This one is the 1950s Diner. Box bent in 2 directions and seals all popped. I tend to wonder if it’s really the carrier or if it’s the warehouse loading/ unloading to the carrier. I send out tons of stuff and never have problems like I do from Lego. Probably has a lot to do with underpacked flimsy boxes too. /vent

You know when the step calls for x39 identical single studs then the next step is x177 clear flat top pieces, you realize why the piece count is so high. Yes, I began building this set this morning. The base was virtually the same as the DS trench run diorama in style so it went together quickly, then I hit bag 2 and 3 with hundreds of single squares and circles. Fun factor died, have to take a break.
