I think we will offer a more personal type of experience. Jeff and I and the Mods will review all listings to make sure they are credible. People who build up enough good feedback will eventually get to bypass our review. Payment will be up to sellers to designate. Buyers won't be favored over sellers like on eBay and Amazon. We know some buyers are crooks and will review problem transactions. We cannot guarantee transactions for what we will charge, but between feedback and word of mouth, poor sellers will get the boot rather quickly. You will always have Paypal to fall back on. Overall, the community can help police the Classifieds. Jerks will get the boot. Smart, honest and fair people will prosper. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker

The Arctic sets give a good selection of orange pieces but all I really want is the sled dogs and parkas. On a somewhat related note, has anyone else thought of making a Lego version of John Carpenter's "The Thing"? (I finally found the good poster I came across years ago. Awesome, isn't it?) >The Thing by Toy Master, on Flickr

10175 vader tie advance, just picked it up today off of cl still sealed

Now it is poofed

Thanks, the guy was a little weirded out when I.brought my scale to weigh the vader tie set.

I was not expecting to see you say sealed at the end of that. WHAT a find, congrats.

Just scored some sets off a craigslist. Apparently me and the seller work for the same company. How ironic. 10175 UCS Vaders Tie Advance 7676 Republic Gunship 7754 Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser 8038 Battle of Endor 4729 Dumbledorf's Office 4501 Mos Eisley Cantina 4727 Aragog in the Dark Forest 4737 Quiditch Match 4738 Hagrid's Hut All for $450, his wife made him get rid of them, oh they are all still sealed too. My daily obsession with checking CL and BP might have paid off.

If i could climb into them and use them like a battlemech I'd totally buy one

Somehow I expected them to be made from Lego bricks. But they are still awesome as they are.

Some Indiana Jones sets came with some, Venice Canal Chase being one of them.

On bricklink.com (main page), 7th green tab over (near the top of the screen), reads "Wanted" (tabs are labelled home, buy, search, sell, members, catalog, WANTED, my bricklink, etc.)

Today, or what is now yesterday. Meijer - 2 x Chima: Chi Temple - $58 each - On clearance for $89.99 - Used $10 off MPerks on each, $25 off coupon for signing up for the credit card and an additional 10% off as well. Toys R Us - Found some City Marina's (4664) @ $27.49 each bought 2 and used the $10 off $50 coupon for a total of $48.31 for both.

Problem: Set is rare, but ebayers are selling them too low. Solution: Buy them.

And we are still at sold out status. With how rare the set currently is I wish a couple of sellers on ebay would stop killing the market pricing these things so low.

1. Spain 2. Brazil 3. 2-1 4. Germany Vs. Porugal

I live next door to a Chinese buffet. If the pet acts up, they are sold to the man next door.

I think you guys are derailing the thread... complaints and whining only!

I just finished my version of the Grand Emporium. I had to use 3 1/2 GE's for this building. My inspiration was a picture from the web: Especially the windows in the middle are very nice. But i wanted a larger MOC with 2 original GEs on the left and the right. (corner buildings on the left and the right, a straight building in the middle) The GE on the right is 100% a GE, the one on the left is almost original. I only had to change the roof, because i wanted to have the large windows next to the straight MOC windows. The straight MOC was build with parts from 2 GEs, especially the tan parts. I still have to build the interior of the straight MOC (maybe a restaurant?) Do you have ideas? Here are the pictures of my MOC:

This is why polygamy should be legal. One wife doesn't like the LEGO collection? She's gone and you still have 4 more.

Not quite as bad as the story I heard of a guy that had been mining bitcoin a couple of years ago and had something like 7,500 of them. When his girlfriend complained about the noise from the computer being on all the time, he shut it down and shoved it in his closet. Start of last summer they "cleaned house" and the drive with the coins on it was thrown away. Then he heard about how bitcoin was going for more than $1000 USD each and realized they'd thrown away more than $7,500,000 hard drive...

High end 3D printers are actually very very nice, top quality selective laser sintering printers are perfectly capable of printing out some good LEGO compatible parts. These are not the crude 3D printers that are often highlighted by the maker movement that you can buy for $400 - $4,000 USD -- many of these have a resolution a 10th or 100th that of 3d extruding printers offering super high quality. I'd love to have one available to print rare parts when designing MOCs to see if they'll work out or not, before spending money on bricklink. Downside of course, is that those high quality 3d printers also currently run somewhere north of $50k USD, with basically no ceiling on the price (for more $$$ they just get bigger) -- should the price ever come down to just a few thousand dollars while maintaining the high quality prints, and if the powders they use became readily available from office depots / staples -- I think the "print your own toy" revolution would be right around the corner.

I left my house at 7.00AM and came back home at 9.00PM. I traveled by train and walked 10/15 miles. I'm a little tired but I've found a 4842 HP Hogwarts Castle at -10% RRP in a store. Not bad.

It's only a let down to me as an investor. The set itself is awesome. ...and I was very high on this set for the secondary market. The retail life has been way too long. It's also at a cheap retail price point that everyone has one or two. Heck, Amazon sold over 950 units in just 4 days. 6862 is not like a $100+ priced set where people may think twice before buying one due to the high cost. Basically it comes down to supply vs.demand. At least the Fire Brigade has the demand to meet the VAST supply plus it doesn't have a "sorta" refresh already (Superman despite a diff costume is available in 3 other sets). We gotta hope Lex and WW are not refreshed before another set arrives with Supes in his classic attire.

When the Millenium Falcon 10179 first came out I was like what da !@#$, $600????? That's crazy. Nevertheless I put it into my Amazon cart to see if it would go on sale and maybe I'll be stupid to buy it. After about a year after it's release I was reading and viewing other people opening and such on Youtube. I was like that's crazy spending 24-48hrs to build it. Then one day, Amazon had it on sale for $390 so finally bought it. I was so excited receiving it but I remembered it took 24-48hrs to build and I just had my first kid so I did the wise thing and put it away in the closest when I could find some alone weekend time to build it. 12 months later forgetting about it I noticed it was no longer for sale on Amazon but 3rd party people were selling it for $1000. Ebay was around $800-$900. I was like uhm I can't open it now since it appreciated plus I still don't have that much free time to build it. Two years later I looked it up and it was $2000. Now several years later and two kids and up to around $3500 I can never get myself to open it and instead I have to sell it. So excited when I first bought it and now so sad I'll never build it cause it's just worth too much money

I should have thought of that

There are well over 25,000 members right now and most are not heavy duty resellers, or even resellers at all. Most are just fans that want to know what their sets are worth and where to find good deals on LEGO sets. There is a ton of activity behind the scenes between members, so the Classifieds will just help expedite that. We realize that the Classifieds are not going to work for sellers that take advantage of uninformed eBay or Amazon buyers, but for many, the Classifieds will be a cost effective way to list their sets/parts to sell and trade to other members.
