Congratulations to Fcbarcelona101 for being the first Brickpicker member to cash out 20,000 Brickpoints for the #79006 LOTR The Council of Elrond.  Fcbarcelona101 built a large number of his points doing set reviews and has done some fantastic blog submissions.   Something tells me this is the first of many set purchases coming for him!!  Great work Fcbarcelona101!!!

Yep, I got a 5k polybag as well.  That makes FcB's efforts even more impressive as he really had 25k all up.

 

 

New idea for blog article: Which brickpoints store set represents the best "value for money" both in terms of current market prices per point and as a potential ongoing investment.  

Grats FCB!!

Congratulations!

Congrats!! - THERE SHOULD BE A USER AWARD FOR PURCHASING AN ITEM FROM THE STORE!!

Actually, a few members have already "bricked in" their BrickPoints. Some of the first to get 5,000 BP's got SW polybags. TOK, Stephen_Rockefeller, Rich B, myself, Fcb, etc. to name a few. I believe that TOK was the first to get to 5000 but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe Ed was the first?

I think Stephen was the first member to reach 5,000 and then me. At one time, he did have way more posts than I. My how times have changed since....

I think I am at least hoarding mine for the tower of Orthanic. I think I could do it in like a year or so. Lol 

Just received it. Thanks once again guys!

Where has Stephen been lately anyway?

 

Oh, and congrats to FC. May your Gimli land on his back ever so gently.

Um, where's the review then? Slacker

It takes time to write quality reviews.

When I get a chance to build it and finish up some other things I should get the review up :P

I am gonna go out on a limb and say it's more important than filling out Grad school applications. Uhh!

 

Congratulations. This is an awesome idea and will reward people for years to come

Now I just have to save up 1,000,000 Brickpoints to get the Millennium Falcon. Not much. I have about 10,000. 990,000 to go.

At the rate I am going, it is going to take me several decades to even start putting that 10179 in danger.

I do not think that it will be going anywhere for a while.

If anyone does manage on acquiring the Brickpoints for the ultimate set in the Brickstore, I'll take a whole week off from work and everything to fly over to his or her home to congradulate that someone in person! Heck, I'll even pay for the party keg! :yes:

You better start getting that order ready - I am going for it.

 

I figured out - if I write three blogs a night for the next 3 years, it's mine. It's only about 3000 blogs.

 

I'll expect that keg in August of 2017 friend.

Don't forget that the MF has a CAGR of 31% per annum so by 2017 you will need 2,944,000 Brickpoints to account for its price growth  So make that 9 blogs per night

Do it man!  Building mine recently was the best Lego related thing I've ever done.

You should definitely do it. I will eventually bricklink one. probably switch around pieces though. Unless I come into big money.

I'll build it. Just ship me yours for a nominal fee (let's say $1) and I'll get right to work
