Have you ever wondered "What would it be like if Jar Jar were to experience death each day all 365 of them in a single year?" then look no further than this currently ongoing project by Eurobricks member Dr Spock 888 over at his Flickr gallery. Jar Jar having a bad year NOTE: At the time of this posting date, it was on Day 99 so be sure to check back every other day at least once to see the new death of Jar Jar.

While I would like to continue to be in denial (that my hair might be starting to thin) - My first case of sunburn (on the top of my head) might be telling a different story.

I sold my last Falcon 7965 for $249 shipped. It wasn't the lowest price on eBay and the box had some damage, so who knows why it went within six hours of being listed. I was tempted to keep it, but just around $100 buy in said, "No, the next one coming will be more awesome."

Sold my last 19 Chima Fire Bikes for $55.

I think anyone who's opened a Death Star realizes it can't go in a smaller box.

There is an alternative for the best of both world's - Jurgen's Ultimate 42009... http://rebrickable.com/mocs/jurgen/ultimate-42009 I am in the process of gathering the parts needed. Or, you could go completely bananas : http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=99748

Here's a very impressive Erebor MOC that was posted on eurobricks: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=107924 He says the dwarf statues are larger than the Death Star 10188.

One could make a case for a pay BrickPicker site. Then again, one could think of many negatives to it as well. The idea of a premium pay portion of the site comes up in conversation constantly, but we don't want to hurt the basic dynamics of the site. As was the case with the NON-LEGO discussions, there comes a point where it can hurt the core user of the site. Many BrickPicker members are not vocal or big time resellers, so why cater to the vocal minority? There is no perfect solution. If you charge people, you might lose some important information from some members who use the site on a limited basis. If you charge, then people will expect more and complain more. That was the idea of the INVESTorSELL.com site. We saw there was an interest in the NON-LEGO products, but it was dominating the discussion board at times and was filled with adult oriented topics. The solution was to create another, less regulated site in which people could divert some of their discussions. Have you joined and contributed? I mean, afterall, we designed it for YOU! LOL

I'd rather collect minifigures than Skylanders. Anyone want to buy my son's Skylander collection?

Great idea, Mr Plow!

All for building with the kids... Used Dino HQ for $120. The latest City snowplow set for my Homer Simpson minifig. Lego Movie Bad Cop car. avengers set with the 2 vehicles (Thor and Hawkeye included) The Superhero set with Grodd and that Batman mech. I will be selling the mech as the set was purchased for everything else.

Successful businesses don't make decisions based on making profit on every single decision they do - they base decisions on maximizing total profit. Cutting losses over sunk costs on a bad-selling set to make way for a better selling set is a strong business decision.

Finished off the Silver Champion 8458 set tonight. Huge star Wars fan but I really like these F1 cars. http://community.brickpicker.com/index.php?/gallery/image/2088-silver-champion-8458/ All three of them.....now need to find a good place for them on the shelf.... http://community.brickpicker.com/index.php?/gallery/image/2089-f1-race-cars/

Started on this today. So far so good...

New Hellraiser and Pinhead theme?

I'm supposed to believe that Lego is going to take a set in the last year of its life and repackage it, but leave the similar-sized and younger PC still in production in the big ol' box, because why exactly? This is more silliness. Toos status I trust as an indicator of retirement, whether in EU or stateside. But a sudden, inexplicable urge to repackage the PS? Give me a break.

Not a complete set of the series but here are 10x10 vignettes for The Simpsons family. (Where is Marge's dress?) Homer by Milan Sekiz Marge by Milan Sekiz Bart by Milan Sekiz Lisa by Milan Sekiz Maggie by Milan Sekiz

I know I've seen this somewhere before, but I can't think where, so I turn to you guys for help. The kids and I have been making sure we've got one complete set of minifigs from each series, for the last year or two. I don't like just displaying them on their stands - that's boring. Instead, I'd rather get them into little dioramas, or habitats. Nothing big - like maybe 8x8 or 10x10. But something just big enough to make a small scene of our minifigure in their natural habitat. So, for example, the Lifeguard might sit on a tall chair, with a sandy beach under him/her. Or the Rock Star might look like he's on stage. The King could be on a thrown, or the Old West Sheriff might be standing in front of a jail. This is basically what I'm thinking of: I know I've seen something set up at Legoland California before. Anything that I could find, especially with inspiration, would be great.

Me too.. I just ordered the hook ( which is pricy) and the last few remaining pieces I need. I'm also doing the Ulitmate excavator, and the lowboy trailer to haul these beasts.. I'm excited, wish I could say the same about my wallet. lol

Amazon wrapped my Sea Cow in enough bubble wrap to survive a fall from the top of the Tower Bridge. Someone clearly got the memo.

When I ordered a bunch of items over a year ago they never used UPS or Fedex. Hopefully that hasn't changed because I just ordered something.

It's pretty straightforward. Most of the minifigures they have in the trade boxes are from build-a-minifigure or random thrown together parts, so i wouldnt expect much, but sometimes there are decent things. When The Simpsons first came out there were quite a few to be found. One weekend I got several classic castle minifigures so I guess someone's child was trading them throughout the park.

I did the same! Looks really cool!

Stolen pictures...sounds legit to me

The Easter Bunny dropped off this set last weekend.

That baby is dead.

How many people in your family? We just renewed our annual passes and got 5 complimentary passes as a perk. I can sell you however many you need and it'll save you a lot vs. the price at the door.

Those are 40081 and 40115. and photo frame 850751.

That's the Ferris Wheel set from back in 2007. I would imagine and hope after eight years the new one will be significantly better than that. Quacs bested me by a minute. Timing is everything. Ha.

Hit or miss with Amazon UK - loved flipping Technic sets last year with exciter (42000) - some came squished, some didn't. Never had any crazy damage like ripped boxes or bad seals yet. Sometimes if I get a really bent box or a popped seal, I just open it and build the thing.

I ordered one for myself, missed out last time they were available.

So a Microfighters size Death Star is coming?!

Ed, you're going to drive people crazy with that post... For meowsmeowsmeows: R2 sold out in Europe the night before going to Toos status in the US. But as you point out with regard to SSD, it can happen the other way around as well. I check LEGO Shop at Home (non-US countries) pretty regularly to see if something funky is happening in other regions, so I don't get blindsided by an unexpected retirement.

Agreed, this is absolutely ridiculous. Either you are part of this family or not. Don't try and live in both houses because eventually one of them won't let you back in. Brickpicker is much better community as well. We aren't trying to buy up every single deal on anything that ever was sold in a store. We are only here for LEGO. Let them have their crap and we will enjoy our LEGO.

Thanks for the various answers. So, had I registered with Air Miles, I could have received an awesome $25 for the monstrous stack of Toys R Us orders from the past months! I don't regret putting in my mother's Air Miles number instead Still, that old Toys R Us promotion of "20x Air Miles" from last year meant some 9.5% discount then. That's not too bad if it stacks with something else.

PEE $24.77 shipped Sent from my XT1028 using Brickpicker mobile app

Wow, now that is a " Cedar Point" type of Ferris Wheel set. Might as well add the Millennium Force to the list of next Lego Amusement Park builds.....

I'm wishing for something like this.

Totally agree with you. Should I get a few dozenof hotdog men for investment purpose...hmmm

I LOVE the Brickfolio option on this site and have found it very, very useful. I wonder if there could ever be an option in the future to have two Brickfolios in the system: one for investing (as is currently) and one for the sets that I'm keeping personally. I already track the latter loosely, but being able to see which sets I'm spending my personal money (or profits) on, how many pieces I have, and what the actual used value of it is would be awesome. The obvious way that I can think to do this now is to create a second BrickPicker account and store all my "kept" sets there. But I know you guys keep track of accounts and Brickfolios and didn't want to screw up your numbers, because what I'd enter there wouldn't be strictly (or at all) for investment. Any chance this could be a coming feature?

Series 13 Collector Minifigure Habitats by Melan-E

I know precisely what you are talking about and have come across plenty of these little minifigure vignettes. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cecilihf/sets/72157624440241953/ LEGO Collectible minifig modular display by cecilihf

We can argue that smegal was a bit... well, weak minded compared to Bilbo (see the beginning of the return of the king, he looks really dumb), so the ring could have still some effects on him even once he didn't possessed it anymore. On the other side, once Bilbo gave his ring to gandalf, we can assume that his body and mind was able to be back to normal again, and so his face got back to normal (aged). Last theory: eat fish only (no sausage), and it'll keep you young and healthy !

Box condition means very little if you can save $60 on an exclusive set in the US.
