I know his story and how he started, but he just seems like a spoiled little brat. just bugs me lol Actually... I'm conflicted occasionally his content intrigues me (building alternate build, his city ideas or various things such as the link I shared about investing) BUT... Scale of 1-10. 10 being the most annoying or arrogant. 7 Bricksie 10 BricQFoundations & MandRproductions Just my opinion and I know others like MandR Edited February 15, 2022 by ponderingzissou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that she is grounded and doesnt have the sugary exuberance of some other channels (I totally get that they do it to get clicks but the enthusiasm is just fake to me, are they really that excited) 😄😄 I thought this was funny when you posted but wasn't familiar with danibob. Did stumble onto one of her videos recently and agree. I haven't checked out her channel to see what it primarily consists of but so far she isn't annoying like others and I'll check out more videos. Thanks for recommending Edited February 15, 2022 by ponderingzissou 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 So in my feed I came across this train ride POV clip through Brickcrafts' ongoing LEGO city project. Turns out Brickcrafts is the English channel for longtime (three years running presently) Bob Brickman. Anyway, they have a really nice setup with many points of interest.

Also love his ROI computations: buy price pre-tax to amazon selling price.

Unionize Pokemart Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) He definitely counts GWP sales returns as part of the discounts he says he can get on sets. He has said so specifically when talking about how to get discounts on things like modulars. His claims of getting those discounts are counting money from sold GWPs, credit card cashback, VIP points, and all other forms of potential cashback(Honey, etc.) stacked together. Though that Stranger Things BH set being Lego exclusive means you can't buy them in bulk(limit 2 on SAH), and being that they are $20 ea. $40 is hardly netting you a particularly great GWP. I mean if you could buy unlimited amounts and you bought say 8 of them for $160 and that qualified you for a good reselling GWP like Forestmen's Hideout($150 buy-in) that you sold for $40 after shipping and fees. That would be a 25% discount that you had to work for, then 5% VIP discount, maybe 3% from a good credit card cashback program. Still that's only in a world where you could actually buy in bulk which isn't real, which means you have to be buying other sets from SAH to hit a good GWP threshold, and anytime you are purchasing from SAH you have opportunity cost with regard to savings unless they are exclusives.

redcell Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I wouldn’t analyze anything this guy says.I would extend that to pretty much all of the content creators focused on Lego “investing.” I’ve watched a number of those videos and they mostly strike me as uninformed crap, regurgitated crap, or veiled marketing pieces for the creator’s paid content. At best, there are a few nuggets of good info buried in all the surrounding noise. My favorite was one made by a guy touting the lessons learned from two months of investing in Lego.

I'd be surprised if he is still doing this 12 months from now. He has a short attention span, no grit, and I can lo longer find the online course that he was selling that took well over a year to develop. I told him that if we did a course it will fail but he doesn't want to listen to anyone. This was just the first of many e-commerce ventures he wanted to start. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't start another YT channel regarding general e-commerce next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Obvious Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 This guy Solbricks cracks me up. He’s definitely not for everyone, but he’s authentic. I love how he drops the boxes and actually shows parts of the set being broken or the whole damn thing falling off the table by accident during his reviews He highlights the unflattering, yet endearing aspects of LEGO. He gets it: LEGO is a problem, but it’s our problem because we love it so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcell Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I thought this video was interesting.

Is he that oblivious..You could just ask him... he has been a long time member here, but he doesn't post too often anymore. Theoretically, it could be the ultimate "zig zag" as well. Tell everyone on your Patreon and YouTube channel to buy one set while you yourself load up on completely different sets. I mean he was super high on the Olaf set after all.Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
