So my birthday was yesterday. My 10 y/o son got me this set for my birthday. It was really sweet of him to do it. He was really excited.5 points

That is what we have done. We substituted the balls given for marbles. The very slightly flat spot on the plastic balls can impede the motion of the ball. The marbles roll unconditionally!5 points

After reviewing the model with my dad, who's been on multiple occasions, I went ahead and did some tweaks. It didn't make sense that the mountain would crest above the aqueduct, so I trimmed it a bit. Then, looking at every arial shot, I couldn't avoid the fact that the hillside is completely forested. So I built some trees, had to get a little creative to make them small enough/fit the scale. Used a similar idea to what's done on the Detective's Office street tree, but smaller. Put in some green slopes here and there to dot the rocks with greenery. Then added a display stand and tiles, to label it like an Architecture set. New projected price point ~$602 according to BrickOwl's calculator. It requires 12 ultra rare parts, the "Tan Slope 1x2 Triple" (the cap pieces to the angled flanges on the bottom tier struts). There is only 1 seller in the world with stock, and he's charging $5.35 per piece. I guess there are more expensive parts out there, but rarely do you need 12 (or in the case that my dad wants a copy, 24) of them. Ugh. Quite happy with how it's turned out though! It would be super cool if Lego explored an "Ancient Architecture" sub theme at some point in the future. At this scale I suppose this is sort of a cross between Architecture and Creator Landmark, but it sure would be cool if they did it at any scale! Edit: ^^ Click in and go Full size, it's a huge detailed render, preview on the thread doesn't do justice to BlueRender's abilities!4 points

It should not be too hard based on accessories. I'd probably write a smooshing guide as soon as I get my hands on these3 points

I found these today at target in portage, mi i doubt anyone on here lives by me but there are tons left and they rang up $2.99 for me. I believe the price should have been $3.99 though? I bought 15. It is really hard to tell Minnie from Mickey and Donald from daisy. Out of my 15 I only ended up with 1 double (I got 2 geanie's by mistake). I am getting good at figuring out what is in the pack, but I feel like a total nerd for it3 points

Robin's costume origin story... http://brickfanatics.co.uk/cinemacon-footage-unveils-lego-robins-origin-story CinemaCon footage unveils LEGO Robin’s origin story (by rich at brickfanatics ) CinemaCon is happening over in the States and those attending got to see some exclusive footage introduced by co-directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord, and LEGO Batman himself Will Arnett. Miller spoke to those in attendance with Question “Can Batman be happy?” Entertainment Weekly attended and gave us some more on the tease footage. LEGO Alfred chastises the caped crusader. “You need to take responsibility for your life,” the butler says. “And it starts by raising your son LEGO Alfred clarifies: “The young orphan you adopted at the gala.” SMASH CUT TO: A LEGO version of **** Grayson, voiced by Michael Cera, trotting merrily through the Batcave. And **** quickly convinces Batman to let him join up in his fight against crime. He slides through Batman’s suit collection, including a “Night Terror,” a “Festive Bat” suit, a “Winged Avenger” suit, and literally dozens of other Bat-suits. Then **** stops on one suit, a familiar-looking red-and-green outfit, with a big “R” on the chest. It’s called “Reggae Man.” LEGO Batman explains that it comes from a “Jamaica caper.” **** grabs the costume, but complains: “The pants are little tight.” So he takes the pants off, leaving only green underwear. Voila: A new Robin origin story in two minutes, it sounds hilarious. The movie is out in 2017 and the build up is getting better and better3 points

This exactly. I love the trailers. Our house has been doing "no no no no no no" to the Batman theme song many times since seeing this. In Lord/Miller I trust.2 points

Like @exciter1 just said, page 1. I will always make sure page 1 has it to make it as easy as possible to grab that. Don't believe it's out of the kindness of my heart though - I'm making it easy for me when I've forgotten to download it to my phone.2 points

OK, I just received my VIP April Statement. Funny, they are letting me pick more reward benefits. The 100% back on single item up to $50 is back, so I could load it. I also was able to load other coupons like the $10 back on $10 and the $60/$110 points back on Auto purchase. Go check your benefits and see if you might be eligible for more stuff. I already picked the $20 back on $40 sometime last week. http://www.shopyourway.com/tag/shop-your-way-rewards-vip/14615102 points

This is about as much action as you see when watching the game. Can you imagine trying to smoosh a set of these?2 points

And to keep it all LEGO, you can use this ball: 99948 - Technic, Ball, Steel (fits 92911) (Though a bit pricey)2 points

How about using a glass or steel marble instead of the Lego provided 'marbles' ?2 points

Out of all the Architecture sets I've built, this was one of my favorites. I'm not sure what it was, I enjoyed the multiple SNOT techniques used, the fact that I didn't have to line up a bunch of 1x1s, and it seemed less repetitive than some of the others. Oh, it was a gift and I didn't have to buy it. That may have been a big part of it.2 points

Bulk Lego bag for $45 with the 4867 instructions showing, which is why I bought it. Looks like most of the set is in there and come to find out looks like a lot of 10217 is also in there. Score!!2 points

My story is boring compared to the last few but I built the Flatiron Building to distract me. I wasn't looking forward to the build because of how small the finished product is but I was really surprised and how it ended up. It looks fantastic with other architecture sets around it and was a very enjoyable, if slightly repetitive build. This is also a good set for people to part out or to use the parts to make your own MOC with.2 points

YJ was one of good superheroes shows that got canceled early, mostly because very low demand for the toyline. The tone of the series was probably a tad too dark for kids, but was just right for (young) adults1 point

Airjitzu or Ferris Wheel...I would go Airjitzu, the autumn colored leaves with the sweet building is quite pleasing on the eyes IMO. Have fun!1 point

Clearance will usually sit on the shelf until it is sold. In rare cases it is transferred to other stores. If the merchandise becomes damaged or otherwise is not able to be sold it would be sent to that stores claims department. This is where all returns, damaged, transfers or stolen merchandise is processed out of the system. The claims department would either trash the item or send it back to the claims center. This decision is not made at store level, we strictly do what the system tells us to do with it. I have never gotten a concrete answer as where the claims center send the merchandise, but I have seen Walmart price tags on merchandise at close out stores. My guess is it is just sold to salvage buyers. Edit: Sometimes old merchandise is stored out back. This should never happen, in fact there is a report that prints weekly of all deleted items stored in the backroom, The report prints so it can be fixed, Many department managers ignore the report. At some point though, these items come back to clearance land.1 point
