CNH1974 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Has anyone else who has pieced this set together wanted to make it black and turn it into Airwolf? Maybe have it blow up the limo when you can't find that black rear window? ImageUploadedByBrickpicker Forum1415841762.995346.jpg Go on then Do they do that front piece in black? Quote
Thumper Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Here is another project I started awhile back. I should have almost 3 complete ISD when I'm through. oooh, ISD shipyards... now there's a big build! Quote
Sparkesy43 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Working through a recently purchased bulk lot, so far from it I've managed to complete 3 x 75002 - AT-RT (2 pieces bricklinked to complete) 2 x 75039 - V-Wing Starfighter 1 x 70809 - Lord Business' Evil Lair (4 pieces bricklinked to complete) 1 x 70723 - Thunder Raider Identified but yet to be checked/built 70724 - Ninjacopter 70807 - Metalbeard's Duel 42007 - Moto Cross Bike (suspect there may be two of these) Quote

binici Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I'm trying to finish buying all the pieces for two train sets that I have put off for a long time. Now that I know how to use BL most efficiently, I can purchase all the bulk parts! Sets 4558 and 4561. I have the boxes for both sets and only the manual for 4561... So much to do, so little time!

Migration Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Built two of these today and 2 1/2 of the cars that go with it. Cool and quick sets. . 4 Quote
graffiti600rr Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I am nearly 25% through gathering 10179. I had a boat load of brick in the bins and so far I have spent $20 and I have 1300 or so bricks. Not bad. I am not buying the 2 expensive pieces since I am building it for my boys. I have 2 black boat masts and I don't mind them black. Quote
MarleyMoose Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 Almost done with a 7676. This was actually the first set I started from my first bulk buy way back. I've moved since then. I put it off to do other smaller lots over the years. I've decided to finish it so I can sell it off. I have to get to the ISD's I've left hanging next. Purge.. Purge... I say. Too much to buy and hold. The bulk thing is fun to a point until it takes up a room with no end in sight...ever. No end as this is just some I have organized to deal with and plenty unsorted needing to be cleaned which have non lego bricks, crap, stale crackers, batteries, jewelry, money, rocks and more crap, ect.... You know what I mean. 3 Quote
JoePublic Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Im building 7754, 6212, 7675, 7627 Some minifigures are missing. So do i just sell the built sets with no figures? Also I think the lot has a rare smooth haired leia, is this posisble from the set number above. She doesnt have the same outfit as the ones on ebay. Cheers Quote
CNH1974 Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 The sets will sell for less without the mini figures. You need to consider is it worth sourcing the figures separately to complete the sets. Quote
speedsausage Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 This is a pretty motivating thread, first time I've come across it. Is there a preference where you guys get your bulk lots from, ebay, Craigslist etc.? Quote
vexxet Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 someone told me a while ago that the Cafe Corner costs 862$ and change to put together from bricklink. probably more now since certain parts fetch a high price. does anyone know if thats true or accurate? Quote
MarleyMoose Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 This is a pretty motivating thread, first time I've come across it. Is there a preference where you guys get your bulk lots from, ebay, Craigslist etc.?A few from EBay and some from CL and some small really profitable ones off of local FB virtual yard sales. I'm thinking of unloading all my bulk. The passion has subsided. Quote

MarleyMoose Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah, there's more that's not seen too. Quote
Migration Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah, there's more that's not seen too. You should show a pic of what it looks like before you start on it. I would but, my untouched lots are all packed up right now. Quote
speedsausage Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I actually tried buying my first bulk lot off of craigslist this morning. $100 for half a Rubbermaid tub of mainly Star Wars sets. They never replied and the listing was taken down a few hours later. :( Quote
Alpinemaps Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Just be careful. I've got over 120 lbs of bulk sitting in my garage. I got caught up in it. It's fun, but time consuming. It's going to take me a long time to go through what I've got. 2 Quote
JoePublic Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 The sets will sell for less without the mini figures. You need to consider is it worth sourcing the figures separately to complete the sets. Mmm I think I'll just sell them without figures as the postage adds up when buying figures 1 Quote
BrickMarket Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) This is one of my favorite threads, thought I'd share a bit. I recently completed building a series of Star Wars sets I pieced back together from a collection I purchased last year (as others have said, bulk is rather time consuming!). Here's the "hero shot" of each of the sets, I haven't had a change to assemble the 6211 ISD missing from the sequence quite yet.... Edited April 29, 2015 by BrickMarket Spelling 1 Quote
MarleyMoose Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Awesome! I've been unloading most of my bulk. I don't know why. I've has lost the will to sort.... I'm cherry picking some stuff to save though. 1 Quote

I'm cherry picking some stuff to save thoughLike many others here, I also have a 'backlog' of bulk lots to get to. In the beginning, I would complete each and every set I could identify, regardless of size or value. Now I am definitely more selective because of time constraints. I have a feeling I'll eventually be selling of much of the excess I've accumulated. I'm looking forward to it, since it is essentially the spoils of this end of the Lego hustle and it will be a nice little 'bonus' to reinvest at that time. Quote
