After all this talk about a new Death Star for 2016 I did some research and finally have been able to find some pictures of the new design! The new design is pretty awesome, even though for some people it might be too colorful. The general design isn't that different from the current DS but you'll find some improvements. My verdict: Great new DS design! I also like the new colors! I'm not a big fan of all of the minifigures, but there are plenty so that's nice I guess! I guess with all these minifigures the price point might be at least 500$ I'm not sure if I would recommend holding on to the old one or not... I guess that's a decission everyone must take for himself. https://www.flickr.com/photos/pricey73/sets/72157652349325815

If you have a dog or cat save the droppings and put them in a box and leave that on your porch. Spring loaded or self detonating are good options.

​thats as much as i thought. so poop in the box it is then

​Example: I have 10 sets to list and I want to copy and paste everything so I list them all at once at $500 each and then bulk change them later to individual prices. Example 2 (some people here use this method): I have a 10211 Grand Emporium that I will sell at $600US so I list it at $600US and expect to relist it every 30 days until it sells. The item stays in the search and TRS items stay near the top and occasionally the item sells (and the members are usually kind enough to post because they are a little surprised)

Sold a 10221 for $1200 CAD and have sold around 19 Jurassic World polys the past couple days at $18 CAD each. Not a bad week!

After you contact the local authorities, post that picture on Facebook. You will know who the thief is in no time.

Queen Anne's Revenge Really enjoyed the build. Couldn't believe how big it was. The family loved it.

​I like to reuse the bags to pack sandwiches for the work week. I just put the stickers on my toolbox in the garage. Everything should go in and on the toolbox.

Got some new parts to build myself another minifigure display shelf. Will have to do some re-arranging tonight and put up all the ones I have in random other spots.

I'll just leave this here... First SW Episode 7 Set Leaked

some of my hobbies & interests include skratebords, cool cars, wine country, and dumpster seafood. Im also a big fan of Lego which was founded by Old Kirk Crungerson in 1682. Old Kurt discovered the tiny plastic blocks when digging inside of a mountain. No one knows what happened to him after that but at least we can all agree that he was insane. For your health!

​Make sure to label it "Guaranteed".

Okay, so let's see: pizza, fro yo, a hot tub, and entirely populated by stepford wives? With the ability to destroy planets? Time for me to join the Empire...

​If on a desktop try this. At the "Select how you'll be paid" section, click on "add or remove options". It should be right next to "Select how you'll be paid". That should open a dialog box where you can check several options. The one you're looking for is "Require immediate payment through PayPal when a buyer uses Buy It Now", it is first in my list. Click Save. You should now have an option on your listing template to "Require immediate payment when buyer uses Buy It Now" Click that box and finish creating your listing. That checkbox may come unchecked if switch back and forth between Auction and BIN. It also may come unchecked if you select Best Offer. Just keep an eye on it.

I think we all just got burned by the prequels so much that there is this inherent fear that the new films will let us down as well. But after that last trailer, I think Abrams was basically putting his hand on the shoulders of Star Wars fans across the world and said, "It's gonna be all right." The Force Awakens may not be awesome, but I think it will at least be earnest, and have the right sensibilities. I'd be shocked if it was actually awful.

​i was going to get a few snaps from the video on a flier and stuff it in the mailboxes around the neigborhood. i dont think posting it publicly is a good idea as i dont want retaliation, never know with hernandez.

Its a little hard to say from the light and the angle but I think Aaron Hernandez escaped from jail and is stalking your neighborhood wearing a hoodie. i like the fully outstretched paw between the railings of your deck. this should become the little picture next to the urban dictionary phrase "5 finger discount". that thumb looks suspiciously like a fifth finger.

The SMART thing to do is give all the evidence and info to the police and let them resolve. That is NOT what I would do at first

built the Kwik-e-mart today, really enjoyed the build and I love all the different colors of bricks it has - this will be a great set for parts should I go that route in a few years with it. Wish they would have sent duplicates of the sticker sheets tho. Build took about 4.5 hours spaced out over the day.

I'd open it. This set is hoarded big time, so when and if the value starts to climb, you will be competing against a bunch of sellers that can offer an undamaged box. Since you basically paid retail for it you don't have any room to undercut the competition either. It's a neat little set. Enjoy!

Craigslist score of a lifetime. Loads of old pirate, including black seas barracuda, looks complete except for sails Loads of black falcon, forest men era castle. Loads of old town sets. Everything is clean and even semi sorted. Nicest lot at the best price so far. No mega blocks, q tips, or used chewing gum.

The latest issue of Blocks magazine is now out. This issue marks the first time that Brickpicker has content in the magazine. A few months ago, they wrote to ask if we would like to submit content to the magazine. Since Ed is all warmed up for writing all the content for the book, he was ready to go to start working on some articles for the magazine. The first article is about the #10179 Falcon. The Blocks team is working hard and doing a great job building this every month so please support the magazine. If you do not have a way to get a hardcopy of the magazine locally, you can buy digital editions as well.

This particular dewback has an unfortunate character trait. I can see why he's for sale.

So this is what the Emperor meant when he asked Luke, 'Where are your Friends now?'. Anyway, I'm dumping my DS's. The original can't possibly compete with the Friends' Star. I am a little concerned that Disney may not be the best caretaker of the Star Wars universe... P.S. I didn't see UniKitty in any of the photos. Surely there's room for Cloud Cuckoo Land on the Friends' Star?

Ever wonder why ice cubes taste so boring? It’s cuz you make ‘em outta stupid water, you bimbo! Put some fruit juice in there and freeze it into ice cubes, and put THAT in your milk!

Welcome to Brickpicker!!

Hi Dr. Steve, Welcome. Since you're a doctor maybe you can help me. I was raking leaves and I had trouble with them getting all over my driveway. Now I have smelly armpits, so nobody wants to go to the prom with me. What the heck am I gonna do for a date?

The police department I work for would not take a report, for a USPS package we would tell you to call the postal inspectors. And from my experience working with them when I've caught people stealing packages they don't really care unless it's high value in a metro area (typical feds). For UPS and Fed ex packages a local police report would be appropriate. As stated social media is great for this, Facebook, Nextdoor.com, etc. plus flyers etc. Post him everywhere. If the local police don't take a report, make your own flyer for information and give it to them anyways (and also send it to the local probation and parole office). If he is stealing packages, he is stealing more stuff too, and probably has been caught before. You might check craigslist for the items. Also ask your delivery person to set the package behind the small walls you have on the porch so it is out of sight from the street. The carrier could not have left it any more conspicuous. Sadly, especially in my state, the bleeding hearts have basically neutered any "non violent" laws and punishment, so as the police we don't have the resources to devote much time and to solving these types of crimes. Theft/scams/economic crimes have been skyrocketing here in the last couple of years. The camera is neat, but if there is no follow up done, it's basically worthless.

Erebor MOC Sorry if this has been posted already, but worth a look if you haven't seen it. Absolutely insane build

​thanks for due diligence. whats a 3.2.10 say? so technically i can call this a "your neigborhood thief weekly" and stuff it in on a sunday?

Cylons!

I don't like it either but wouldn't worry, I've been having the same issue for over a week now. It's like I have to exit my browser and refresh sometimes but lately it's not fixing it either. I think the site is having issues like you said. I've noticed the top categories like "product/shop" etc icons look like they are from the 90's. It's awful.

I saw mention of posting to Facebook as people might recognize him and let you know who he is. Something not mentioned is with Facebook's facial recognition software its quite possible that if the thief has a Facebook account that he will be automatically tagged.

Do indeed report it for their community statistics records, but really doubt the police will do much more than add a note into a new file, it's not like they are going to call in the csi guys or investigate for potential on-line sales unless they already recognise the guy. if the theft is less than $5000.oo it's just not important enough to put resources on. I've had a car stolen & another car broken into & in neither event did the police visit or do anything more than take a few incidentals over the phone - it's just not worth their time.

​At a small Toyshop, they only had one of each and a blanket 25% discount on all their stock for today only. Just happened to be walking past on the right day at the right time and decided to pop in Boxes were mint too, they kept them behind the counter.

​497, isn't that a US 891. Also a good little seller, I have sold quite a few for £8-10 with and without instructions. I have taken a risk and bought just over 10kg of space pieces. Unknown sets but I should be able to make up quite a few, with the help of Bricklink.

He will probably look again for parcels at your place.

That is what we have police for. And I would be on the watch-out in the future. But why did you open non-delivered reports when you clearly have evidence that it was delivered? Amazon, Target or USPS aren't responsible for stuff that gets stolen after they delivered, nor should or can they be (unless it was neglect on their part which doesn't seem to be the case here).

And where are those stickers ;)

I downsized my display to this and rotate the series from time to time. I have Series 1 - 6 and both Simpsons right now but not the space for all. I always keep series 1 up at all times tho

​Do the sandwiches go in the toolbox too? Make sure you remove the extra pieces from the bags or your sandwiches will taste funny.

​Cool story and very kind of you to try accommodating her request. My 5yr old son was diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) when he was 3...for him, building up his hand strength and fine motor skills was an area besides many that needed improvement - Lego was perfect. Building is fun, he can use his imagination free building and good workout for little fingers! He's hands has gotten a lot stronger with all the modulars we've been building together recently

And totally destroy the resell value according to some people......why would someone apply stickers? Hope they saved the original bags also

June 23, 2014. 148.79 before tax. I take good records :-)

Most resellers help the brand and TLG. Through their actions they flush excess inventory fastcreate a healthy aftermarkt of used and new product which offers true credibility and value to the producthelp collectorsenable the return from the "Dark Age"offer insightful information about the quality and value of each product soldcreate a vast and liquid market in all corners of the worldpromote the brand strongly through their shopsSome resellers have bad habits. They Squeeze customers out of the market and force prices upClean out product before 'normal' customers have time to reactBuy huge quantities, therefore distort a normal life cycle of a productSee lego as a money-makers, therefore lacking respect for the product's mission statementUndermine the pricing policy of TLG on Exclusives, poduct lines: over / underpricing to the frustration of TLG and its customersOverinvest, creating excess Supply in the future and excerbate the risk of a bubble and boom-bust for TLGSo all in all, if resellers follow a good code of conduct, there shouldn't be a problem. Banning the "bad elements" is only normal. And with time, TLG will control better this indirect supply chain too, therefore flushing out that "tricky" behavious. For me, the net balance of resellers in very positive for TLG. It's only a minority that bothers them I think. regards

Built this a few nights ago. Pretty cool build seeing you start with basically a small portion over a bunch of smooth tiles and build it up then attach the panels one by one.

Well, I found this side early in 2012. Since them I'm lurking... It's funny it seems like I'm one of the oldest members here But well now I decided to actively participate in the Forum

Yesterday I immediately sold all three of my 40079 VW Campers to the same buyer for $15 each, $2.50 total shipping. After fees I'll get $39, so $13 each. I think I shoulda been charging more seeing how many are selling at $20... but, I think I made up for it as I've sold 2 of my 3 Clone Lieutenant's for $20 + $2.50 Shipping each so after fees on those I'll see just under $18 each. So, pending I sell the 3rd the same way, I'll be looking at a total of $31 off each of my three $77 (pre tax) LEGO store purchases. That's 40% off! I'll take that from a LEGO store any day! -PB disclaimer: Yes, yes, I know I drove to the LEGO store using gas and wear and tear, and spent my time buying, listing and mailing and all that other jazz... but does it make me a total LEGO nut to say I enjoy even those parts of it? I can spend 30 min to an hour in the LEGO store just looking over and over at the same sets on the shelf and just somehow enjoy every second of it. Can't really explain why because I hate shopping in general. Anyways, maybe it's just my way of justifying it to myself, but I can't pass up a chance to go to the LEGO store, especially when it means I can get this kind of "deal"!
