vandiverscott Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Are you using some sort of adhesive to bond to plywood? I used F-26 construction adhesive. I just put it together tonight. I used a 30" by 96" solid core door blank. I put bricks all over it, and flipped it over so the weight of the door will put even pressure overnight.

@rtisan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I managed to score 3 Elronds from TRU. Just so happens I was able to sell the corresponding video games (TRU Canada gave one away with the purchase of a Lego game) to friends (Lego LOTR, PoTC, and Batman 2) so they were in essence free!

comicblast Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Great find.... How do you find the deals? For some reason, random little supplies of Imperial Shuttles have been popping up in TRU's all around. Same goes for Maersk Trains. Not exactly sure why.

stephen_rockefeller Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Great find.... How do you find the deals? For some reason, random little supplies of Imperial Shuttles have been popping up in TRU's all around. Same goes for Maersk Trains. Not exactly sure why.I live in a metropolitan area with about 4.2 million people and and I searched many stores high and low for MTs and ISs shortly after we all suspected they went EOL and I found nothing I dint miss the bus on these sets but I wished in had a few more of each!

TheOrcKing Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I finally managed to get a hold of that "Golden Dragon" Ninjago set for $24. Also found two of the Planets from Series 3. Don't know why Wal-Mart didn't even carry the Coruscant one. Ugh, they're being wierd again. I didn't even find one of the "BARC Speeder" set at all. They were totally sold out! Ah well, I got "Pre Visla's Starfighter" for $10 less than retail, so it's all good. Picked up another "Z-95 Headhunter" polybag just for the heck of it. Oh and about 24 more extras from Series 9 of the Minifigures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a 30" by 96" solid core door blank. I put bricks all over it, and flipped it over so the weight of the door will put even pressure overnight. IMPORTANT UPDATE - Never use F-26 to glue LEGO plates to anything. Even though the tube states that it can be used on plastic, it will react with the plates and soften and distort the plates. Unfortunately, I did not test and glued all 27 plates down. Life lessons can be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Finding the Zombies set is awesome! Yeah, my hand shot out so fast to grab that off the shelf as soon as I saw it. Pity they only had one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
