Finally I bricklinked 10182 cafe corner!!! So happy about it! Substitute a few bricks, but I'm pretty happy with the final product. Got into Lego collecting too late, missed a lot of good sets including this. Thanks for bricklink, saved me a lot of money.

The statute of limitations on anti-smooshing regulation expires six months after the series is released or two months after the street date of the subsequent series, whichever comes first.

Finally finished the 10178 Motorized At-at that I picked up used the other day for $40. It was our first At-At build and our first build of any Lego motorized set, so it was a hit with the kids. I think it is my favorite SW set that I have built thus far.

So my 7 year old built the millennium falcon over the weekend. He didn't think it had enough weapons or protection so he "upgraded" it so it has more firepower and a certain Jedi and some others protecting it.

In case you haven't noticed.......today is 4/20. Alpine is on break ALL Day today.

I'm curious too. Let's see how long it takes for him to show up. Oh, wait... (I swear you guys do this on purpose)

Any kid staring at this set won't think so. Every once and a while you have to take your adult goggles off. This is a great set for the Friends line of LEGO.

But I'll take it. Not a bad find for Craigslist.

If they do "No, YOU are my father" I'm walking out.

I'm just going to see how long it takes Alpine to move the last 6 posts.

I report stuff all the time I don't qualify for.

I like this camper van! Let's cook....

That was me in Dec, but I changed it - so it now counts as being original & new

I love the title and description. Hopefully the proceeds from this sale will go towards the purchase of a smartphone. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-Star-Wars-Imperial-Star-Destroyer-2014-75055-this-is-the-wrong-75055-/182095629216?hash=item2a65becba0:m:mqqICZKIeGOYMxQIcTSnb5w

To further tempt you @Salimr here's mine on display.

Puts things in perspective....LEGO is getting lazy with creativity. MOD EDIT: Generated after looking over this list posted here.

Honestly the prequels were pretty crappy but I still found some good things about them and enjoyed them because they were Star Wars and I'm a sheep when it comes to Star Wars lol. Yes ep7 had a lot of similarities to ep4 but it was still extremely enjoyable and entertaining and when it comes down to it that's what Star Wars films are meant to be. It started out as a B movie space film and they'll always be that at the core. Over the years with the huge growth in popularity people have taken it too seriously and wanna nitpick at the tiniest things lol.

Well at least I seem to be in good company getting the eBay bucks shaft today

I can't wait for 2028 when they release Solo vs. Lando, A Star Wars Story. Starring Ben Affleck and Kayne West.

Bingo. "It's money that I love..."

To be honest, 90% of viewing public does not have as much knowledge and/or love of Star Wars that you have. Most people in my real life treated ep VII like any other movies, not an event 25 years in the making. I bet most people barely remember the details of ep 3, much less ep 4, but they could still recognize the familiar beats. You are entitled to your opinion. However, I understood the business decision to cast as wide of net as possible to get the most fans (new and old) for the new era of Star Wars. In a lot of ways the success of ep 8 & 9 depends on a lot of people getting hooked on ep 7.

We needed a bridge for a section in our little city...so we built this bridge. It is basically a modified version of #4852 (Spiderman The Final Showdown), with road baseplates from #6600 (Highway Construction). It is the right length and height that we needed...Did not turn out too bad. Just not sure if I am completely satisfied with it though...

They show it get knocked off when Lando was piloting it in ROTJ

Google Image searched "6 minute abs" and the results are funny, almost a dialogue between them.

This debate is a remake of the Series 15 debate. And the Series 14 debate. And the Series 13 debate. (Not the Simpsons series though - nobody actually cared enough to smoosh those awful angular heads.) Here's the bottom line - if you're smooshing to buy the figures you don't have, good on you for knowing how to feel for them. If you're missing one figure and you just keep buying $4 packs each day until you finally get lucky enough to get the one you're missing because you think smooshing is somehow unethical, then you're being a stubborn fool. And likewise, if you've already got them all but you stand in the Lego aisle at 11:00am on a Wednesday feeling up foil packages so you can clear out all the costumed figs or rarest figs or the ones selling for the most on eBay, whilst leaving the riff raff for little kids who will never get the figs they need because you took them all to resell them, then you're a tool. So find your middle ground. Don't be a fool, don't be a tool. There, it rhymes so it's the new rule. EOD.

I'm thinking the new Spider-Man bridge will be a nice set to add to a city. However, I'm pretty sure my minor case of OCD will want to modify it quite a bit. I'll probably want to take out the "play features", and make it uniform and symmetrical.

Maybe it is a Friends Carousel to complete the county fair sets (roller coaster, hot dog stand, etc) ? Since Ninjago got a D2C set, why not Friends?

That's the best animated "star wars" program I have ever seen and I'm a big enough loser to have seen the Clone Wars movie in the theater!

Double like. That finale gave me chills, especially the montage after the fight with that haunting music. It had more of an emotional impact on me than Force Awakens. Originality can do that for you.

This set is really nice! I will put it with my fairground mixer set and get some more series 14 wrestler guys for the mullet! I saw someone had posted that awhile back

Agree...They want her to be Kenobi and Dutchess Satine's granddaughter I guess, that might fit the timing better. Others want Snoke to be Ezra or something but I think mainstream audiences won't care about Rebels (the finale was awesome though).

Got one of these dogs off of my hands 7065: Alien Mothership -$50 amazon.

OK, if you click and read this, you cannot blame me. I'm a fan of spoilers, plot leaks, speculation, and set photos, so this is your warning. This is a possible outline and plot synopsis for Episode VIII. Nothing is guaranteed, I don't endorse it, but boy I enjoy the reading. Follow at your own risk. Let me know if you would like to continue this type of discussion and we can create another thread that is invitation only. Source: Star Wars: Episode VIII - Return Of The Rumors

Sprocket's implying the sourcing of said items is questionable.

Agreed. Kraven the Hunter is one of my favorites from back in the day, too, so I'm thrilled to see this set.

$99.99 - 1092 pieces I'm most excited for this set.

Like this, I guess,

10196 is my holy grail. Just wish it was ready for that BBC photo. Luckily, I was able to buy 2 used (1 with box) to help offset the cost after selling 1 for $500 profit in just 4 months. Then I scored a 95% completed one for. $250 (missing the scarce green base and 3 sails though) ....

Keep calm. Smoosh on.

Master yoda you say? You mean the guy that lost every battle we ever saw on screen. Still don't understand why he just couldn't win one light saber duel in 6 movies..but oh well.

I imagine some people may see smooshing in the same way counting cards is considered as cheating when in either case it is simply someone who understands the limitations and can work around them without breaking the game and its rules. Perhaps going back to the old way of buying mystery packs randomly without a care in the world leaving everything to the hands of fate would be easier and seem morally better yet when you consider there are typically sixteen unique characters in a single series, what are the chances of obtaining all in one run should I have only bought a sporadic pile of sixteen packets? I could have a very unlucky run where barely four of those bags were minifigures I had wanted meaning I now yield twelve I did not (between possible repeats and/or unwanted characters). Although I usually find a usage for such extras down the road; any one of those could have gone home with someone else who actually wanted them had I just figured out who was in there while at the store. Realistically there is no way of knowing how many of these do fall into the hands of those who wanted them (he wanted the ninja but found a snowman, she desired an elf yet ended up with the animal trainer, etcetera) and at the current price of $4 a pop, a person especially a child with a limited allowance is not willing to shell out bare minimum $64 for a stack of characters and leave the whole thing to chance for a complete set or at best the few characters they desired the most. There will always be characters more desirable than others just as certain sets being sought after more so than others. Funny thing is some of the times where I had difficulty spotting specific minifigures was probably more due to a few excited kids grabbing a handful of packs before I got there than some nameless reseller with a nice sorting basket.

I don't know how awkward you feel. I guess only you know. You can live in whatever world you want to live in, but it isn't the world we live in. I live in a world where I actually care about the other people and their kids.
