Comes with a open-floor plan, and a nice sun patio with BBQ. Cat also included : at no extra cost

walking distance to to local grocery store.

Any CAN member willing to rent/lease out their GG to me for the summer?  How much for deposit and do you need reference?   $800 deposit haha. 

  

​Seriously? PM me.

maybe it's time to sell some of my modulars.  I don't care much for them but don't want to regret selling a GG either.  I regret selling Eiffel Tower now that I have room to display it.

I think I am going to sell all my modulars and buy a four wheeler. Anyone interested in a MS, CC, GG, FB, GE, PS and TH in a one packaged deal?

It was tongue-in-cheek, as much as I love the GG...cost to acquire it is too much for my budget to splurge.  And renting a set would be too painful to give back especially if you have a perfect spot for it   Thanks for the offer redghostx.  But lmk if you have a new set and what you want to trade for it.  I guess the GG is almost like the value of 4 PS.  From an investment perspective, 4 PS would out pace one GG.  If and when GG hits $1000, $800 CAN would seem like a bargain obviously.

*wow, that's a crazy offer Follows Closely.  I'm sure you will find a buyer.  You will make a nice profit from the prices you got them at.

​So all your modulars for my 41999 Exclusive Crawler? These aren't mini modular right? haha.  JK.

​I would be interested in the cc,ms and gg. I already have the GE, FB, TH and PS.

I haven't built a Slave I UCS set just yet, so i didn't realize until tonight that this particular set includes (4) Sand Green 1x8 bricks in the inventory. For a nanosecond I thought maybe I might be able to pick up some of these from the Bricks and Pieces site by typing in set #8097 vs. #10185 to complete my Green Grocer (I'm using a substituted mix of Sand Green 1x4s, 1x6s and 1x2s). 

Not surprisingly, the Sand Green 1x8's are "out of stock" on the bricks and pieces page even under set #8097. I'm actually curious here. Is this simply a control measure by TLG to keep collectors from MOCing 100% authentic Green Grocer sets at a reasonable cost, thereby keeping secondary market prices and perceived value of key LEGO sets high? 

I can't really think of another reason. It's not a specialty part requiring a unique mold. It's obviously not an out-of-production color. Why else would LEGO keeps us from buying the SG 1x8s at the .69 cent cost they charge for black 1x8s?

Maybe other people noticed those pieces were available from bricks & pieces & ordered away leaving it to go out of stock...? Just a thought...

Perhaps. Good for anyone if they were able.

According to BrickLink, the Sand Green 1x8 bricks are actually in the 2010 version of Slave I.

Sorry, migraine headache night. That makes a lot more sense now. I should have made the connection that the UCS Slave I set #75060...

Thanks

 

Saw a Chinese knock off replica of GG. Looks decent but not close at all. Personally would not buy it.

interesting, in the description they also say "2. More COPY WORKS of Modular Building Sets are available or would come out in the future,Such as 10196-Grand Carousel, 10143- Dealth star and 10179-Millennium Falcon 10179,10197-Fire Brigrade."

The brick quality looks poor - the spaces and bricks are uneven.  I wouldn't buy it either.

If you read the description, even the seller essentially admits that it's crap:

Durable, similar material but required care during using and playing. However, they are not as perfect as Lego bricks and BUILDING IS NOT EASY! It might be a slightly difference in colour. REFUND FOR THIS ITEM IS NOT ACCEPTED!

They also sell the green bricks only http://goo.gl/UL74Yw I can see people going this route. 

So much for no counterfeits on large sets. They will only improve in quality over time. 

 

they are coming anyway.

crap.

image a boat load of UCS MF for $500.

I'm still reporting...especially the CC...

Everyone should be reporting those auctions.

i did

I actually don't see anything wrong with this. It isn't licenced, nothing proprietary about building something with bricks

The issue is nipping the counterfeit business in the butt. First there were minifigs, then licensed replicas of minifigs, now modular. These knock offs will devalue the market. Imagine paying for a genuine GG only to find out some green bricks were counterfeit.

can't list under category Lego & shouldn't appear under Lego search...

Search and browser manipulation is all over this one. The words "LEGO" and "10185" should not appear in the title. As crappy as the "custom copy" is, if it was listed in the right category and didn't use what effectively amounts to LEGO's MPN in the title it would be allowed.

Yes, I said it.. might be some use to having to specify the MPN after all. And yes I realize they are allowed to use whatever part number they want, but it does fall under a bunch of eBay categories for search and browse manipulation if worded correctly in the complaint.
