I thought "no brainer" meant that only a person with no brain would do that investment.

Used 10247 Ferris Wheel off the 'bay for $125.

Since I was able to get all of the Series 14 Monsters Minifigures, I was inspired to start on the annual build of the Haunted House. After a late night of building, it is complete. Now the Halloween scene will have a lot of fun, new characters!

Built the Volvo 350 yesterday, which should have been done the day before, but I forgot a piece and didn't realize until the end. Ripped it apart and rebuilt it again. I hate it when bags are not numbered! Pretty straight forward to build, much easier than the MB Aroc. Really enjoyed playing with all the functions with my daughter. Also built the shuttle Tyderium, which was underwhelming.

Well I guess I am now getting a little too much "local" attention as today one of my " contacts" send me a struggling new investor, he had this list lot and was asking 700 for it.... I checked the boxes, seals and weight and all checked out....He recently started buying lego, but he went over his head..... Here it is...... now they are safe with me...

I'm an optimist on these but if anything...$500 is more ridiculous than $250. Good for you on the sale though.

I would like to thank Jon from Minifigures Plus for responding with images of what we should expect. I for one will keep my order as it was. I might even buy more. Having a sealed box of these sets mean very little difference (if any) if the sets will arrive in a LEGO shipping box as shown above. This is not the Mr. Gold Series 10 CMF sealed box which could mean something. These figures will be worth more broken down anyway, so there is no real reason not to buy it. I also get the feeling these might be hard to come by very soon, so cancelling the order is risky IMO.

Everyone remember Technic set 42025? Great set to be sure, but IMO in need of some improvements. I have documented more about the changes and the process of making the changes along with pics at: http://mocpages.com/moc.php/418746#reviews but briefly, here are some pics and video of the changes. Check it out!

It won't be when it comes time to sell.

Love it! Animals is my favorite album.

You should have at least on EV & TB, maybe a DS, if you're a risk-taker. A little too early for Slave I or Tie Fighter...

Dohphin cruiser is still avalable and Fallingwater has been gone for a while. As an investment, I would say Fallingwater is a no brainer.

Check your mailbox. =)

yeah, I'm jealous of the euros. Especially when things like the Super Star Destroyer are completely retired in the US and they ask questions like "Should I pick this up I feel like there's more time and 100 at my local store, so I'll just wait another 6 months. "

Oops...(not my listing)...

I have one 20% and one 15% BN coupon to give away GONE

seeing empty places in the stores where this set should be. Seeing everything else except this and Kylo Ren's shuttle.

Yeah it was 125 or best offer too...put in an offer of 115, but thought better of it and just bought it outright. Have learned the hard way that it's best to get that used copy early on sets I like and want to build.

You can probably attach more technic beams to make the landing gear taller to accommodate the landing ramp. Those landing gears can be detached but it is rather hard to with 1 hand holding the MF

You just keep staking them all the way up I wouldnt mind having at least 10 but would aim for 20

Or Pierrot to be even more exact.

Well of course. What good is a grounded MF ???? Seriously, those 4 landing gears + flick missiles make it very hard to hold it from the bottom. Btw, I also counted getting rid of the flick missiles as improvement

No, but the (former) Disneyland Annual Passholder in me sees ToT and thinks (Twilight Zone) Tower of Terror

Does anyone else look at this new abbreviation and see a crying face?

Was there earlier today and got one more too!

Glued pieces definitely destroy some of the value, in my opinion.

76019 Starblaster Showdown. Now if I am honest, I primarily wanted the set for the parts (the dark blue cockpit is only available here plus the dark blue long hinge plates & curved slopes also extremely limited) and guns. However I was curious how the Starblaster spaceship would look in real life and its looks pretty darn good. I actually built the set backwards beginning with bag #2 containing Star Lord, the Sakaaran and his (?) pint-sized craft which turned out to be decent considering the size and low count of pieces. The wings can swivel about but unfortunately I do not recall what way they properly went in the film. Star Lord is one kickass figure. His signature helmet is very well done (fits perfectly without making his head seem large) and exclusive to the set attire printing is sweet with potential in cyberpunk MOCs I think. The Sakaaran soldier is amazing in detail and clever of LEGO making the two faces completely different which will add some variety should one acquire a sizable platoon of these. It is definitely going on my personal list of favorite minifigures and I really want to find something grand to put him in. Now onto the actual main centerpiece of the Starblaster and its Nova Corps Officer pilot in bag #1. Wow, this sucker looks ready for the sky between the nice choices of color and that superbly stylish profile. The cockpit itself is rather roomy and considerably barren with only a 1x2 slope on the floor as the monitor so detail inside is low but it does make pulling the pilot in & out easy. There are a couple standard flick missiles arming the bottom of the craft in this case though they do add some detail to an otherwise flat surface. Major highlight would be the engine area making excellent usage of all those hinged parts. Spread them wide like a flower for that energy net maneuver or whatever it was called in that one scene or close them up tight for super sleek soaring. Point short, this spaceship looks great from every angle. Oh right, the Nova Corps Officer has great printing to go with the special headgear. It seems a shame that helmet may not see usage in the future. It might with a different color pattern I suppose but is particularly specific to the character similar to the X-Wing and its pilot's helmet. Overall this was a nice set to build in a jiffy with a fair amount to offer. My only possible critique is I think LEGO did themselves a disservice by having you build the Starblaster then the Sakaaran and his ship because anything after the main course (Starblaster) would feel weak regardless. On that note I am glad I did things the way I had. While only the Starblaster is sizable of a craft easily dwarfing the Sakaaran's, both are fun to swoosh like crazy. Yeah that's right. I swooshed them like a little kid; even chased one of the cats for a bit. Ha. Anyway considering the parts such as getting two different canopy types in a cheap set and as I mentioned beforehand rare select dark blue parts to boot, cool characters (great for army building or creating custom figures), and one great spacecraft with a bonus 'dingy' (ha), I'm lovin' it.

I have build the Grievious and Vader yesterday and i am pleasantly surprised! They are very big, detailed and looks great! Also the builds are quite challenging.

I disagree. These generic bones most resemble a human femur. The head sticks out way more than that of a humerus, and the greater trochanter is more pronounced than the greater tubercle of a humerus. The condyles are more like the generic shape compared to the epicondyles of a humerus. Plus the trochlea and capitulum on the distal end of the humerus give it a weird shape that isn't two nicely rounded projections like the femoral condyles. It's a leg bone. (I think it could even possibly resemble a metacarpal, but that would be one big creature eaten by the werewolf so I'm going with leg bone.)

Built Vader last night after a long SW flipping day. Nice build, lots of big molded / angled parts making the cost seem worth it. Vaders head is prebagged and its a large nice quality cape. Lots of poses and movements with the ball joints. Not your typical LEGO build at all but still pretty cool. Might do Grievous out of the line as well.

That's the best return on pity I've ever heard of....it usually nets me a pile of "suck it up, buttercup" from my wife.

Sure! Thanks for reaching out! I will pm you.

On the flip side, lots of people actually WANT those Pet Shops and Red Fives, whereas many don't care about an ultra agents set and never will.

Made from 100% genuine Lego, with some parts chromed! Check this out on his flickr bricksonwheels.

The scenery is beautiful but that car....I must have it! Get off my lawn! Get off my lawn! caddy

I agree and I don't wait on many, but there are definitely those that I don't stock up on until they hit clearance prices. I think TFA will be in your clearance aisle, although the Millennium Falcon will sell fast and furious this year.
