WOW! GBHQ an this... perfect

My six year old star wars nut just built this. Its his take on Cloud City. He's got the carbon freezing chamber, some controls, the window for Luke to crash through, and the yellow thing is the antenna fixture that Luke hangs from after his fall down the shaft. I'm going to have to leave my comfort zone of instructions and moc something with him one day...

EBay 10937 - Arkham Asylum - $268 ($8 to ship via GSP to Kentucky) FBA 70132 - Chima: Scorm's Scorpion Stinger - $47.99 (and to think I was hesitant to pick these up for $11 each at Wal-Mart)

Dreary and cold day, games were cancelled, so let's build.

These guys have been staring at me with a 30% discount on and off for the last few months, so I thought I’d give them a go, see if they had any potential. Like the Garbage Truck, others not so such, all feel small.

Built my first modular. GF built the pet shop half and I built the townhouse. Fun build! This can get addictive (and expensive).

Sold out at LEGO Shop at Home

Talk about using a lot of TH's. I know its not GBH, I kept scrolling on the flickr and was like..dayam

Age of Ultron 2015

Daisy doesn't have a skirt. Minnie does, but not Daisy. You have to feel for the bow vs Donalds hat.

Now you can see me pass you on the way to the next clearance score...

Don't Panic here is another set thats on the Lego wholesale order form for all of 2016.

Eurobricks forum member Just2Good has revealed that there will be a surprise addition to the summer LEGO Star Wars line up in the form of a Rebel Combat Frigate (set 75158). Supposedly it is based on the animated Rebels series and will include an Ahsoka Tano minifig.

Looks like you've got a drinking problem <duck> ... door's in upside down

A Mixel and the Harley Quinn/Deadshot set

They've been showing up at Toys R Us. I've seen a few reports. Jang already has a review up.

Sandman attack

£100. Used, complete good condition all round. Hardly the deal of the century i know, but the Venator is worth around £90 and it’s real slow at the moment.

seller from ebay. : got it delivered. 75104[$90] & 75105[$105] probably paid too much but yeah that's what you pay for convenience....

I do try...... They are staying in a hotel 5 minutes away, no real need for security here, Its a remote place (the only thing that lives in fear are the sheep!). tempted to go for a pint but cant be arsed! lol

New fun in the park city set It's awesome

19, as well. That's an Ogre.

Last civil war set just been revealed and it doesn't include Ant Man. I'm glad I stocked up on this. Seen the prices slowly climbing since the film was released. Now this should hopefully move steadily upwards as we approach Xmas. Looking to hopefully sell these close to £50 with a £10 buy in. http://www.bricktoynews.com/lego-civil-war-spider-man-set-revealed-lego-76067-photos/

EBay's Global Shipping Program

7680 twilight is the big circular wing. This was one of the ugliest SW sets I have ever built. It has pretty low resale unfortunately.

Another member posted this in another thread. So jealous...

Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know's on third...

That grey wing piece is wicked rare it only came out in 7683 Indiana Jones plane Chase. 98 is r2 d7. 91 a Royal guard. 89 is called Vader's Mask. 8 is Chima series. 14 16 17 42 is a Medieval knight. The tan baseplate leafs me to believe you have Western theme or Lone Ranger. 30 and 9 are Western. 88 is Jack Stone. Selling the baseplates and half the mini figures you would already have you money back plus profit. If you can rebuild any of the sets you will get more. Especially the Star Wars ones you got are 2003/2004 and up. And if you hold them and Start selling around November you will get your holiday bonus early. Last year was insane at holiday time and there's no reason why it won't be wilder this year because of the Star Wars movie coming out in winter.

2,4,18,43,60 and 62 are Medieval knights. 26 is a Medieval woman.61 and 22 are pirates. 24 54 and 55 I don't think are Lego. The color of the heads and hands look like I forget the name there Like dollar store versions. 75 and 68 sponge Bob series. 18 19 33 36 and 37 are convicts. 46 is Indiana Jones 51 is Indiana Jones dad. 42 79 63 are ocean rescue. 74 looks like Chima series. 1 3 11 24 are cops. 66 and 49 are LEGO Speed race drivers. 10 is an orc Knight from the Medieval series or Lord of the rings. 23 27 76 Western cops. 32 20 farmer's. 9 is a chef.69 is space police series 3 bad guy. 44 R7- A7 droid if his chest has green computer screens.

Donald - feel for the duck head. No skirt is Donald, skirt is Daisy. Peter Pan I never got myself - had someone feel it for me. But I'm told you can feel for the swords.

It wouldn't let me. And last month she found me a complete/open Poes for $35, so I'm not giving her away just yet...

i thought u were giving your MiL with the Lego bulk... u need to fix that tile

While box damage is definitely disappointing, you would think what's ultimately important is that the bags inside are all accounted for and unopened. They don't seem to care to look that far into the completeness. This isn't helpful for this time around, but I noticed all the sets are stock photos. Taking pictures of the actual set for listing and proof would most likely prevent this in future sales.

haa eggcellent

I think you mean a double Hulker

I've been using the same technique for six months now, I've had a limited starting budget for investing in Lego which has increased a lot in the last months due to this technique.

Part of the message is omitted but it sounds like they haven´t opened it so maybe better to arrange a return (organise it yourself with a company you trust). I´d ask them to confirm in writing that they have not opened the seals and that they are intact then proceed with a return and refund on arrival. Ask for pics of how it arrived and seals so as to evaluate any damage before proceeding as if damage is light, a partial refund is a smarter option than a return at your cost (buyer will know that too) If you don´t accept the return and feel you are going to get played, empty out your paypal account immediately and remove any linked credit card or bank account then contact ebay. The buyer has plenty of feedback - what does sellers say about past transactions and what do they say about past purchases?

One of the things I and many others love about the PT is that a central theme of the trilogy is about how good men lose their way and even turn evil. It's not just about Anakin doing this. It's about the Jedi Council failing to stick to its principles and becoming soldiers rather than peacekeepers, democracy being subverted for authoritarian purposes aided and abetted by business etc. I have friends who are teachers who have used these movies as starting points for civics discussions in class with kids who grew up with these movies and for whom the PT IS Star Wars and for whom the OT is not nearly as cool and is very slow. The politics is not a sideshow, it's part of the entire point of the story. This is what I mean about how the PT is more ambitious in scope and design than the cobbled together nature of the OT. Seeing Palpatine play the system like a fiddle is part of what makes him such a compelling bad guy. He's infinitely more interesting than just an old man who zaps people when they're not expecting it. He dupes the Jedi into starting his war while directing both sides of it and then makes the Jedi the fall guys when it ends, all of which contributes to Anakin being fed up and seduced by a darker path. Sure the acting and dialogue is cheesy at times, but on the other hand Ewan McGregor, Liam Neeson, Samuel Jackson, Christopher Lee and Ian McDiarmid among others turn in fantastic work for a kids movie in spite of Lucas. The military battles in AOTC and Revenge are insane, the lightsaber battles in all PT movies are technically superior and more energetic than all the OT ones, the music is fantastic and if you're anything like my son and his friends the clones are the highlight of the entire franchise. There's a lot that was done very well in those movies and for those reasons I can't write them off as trash. And certainly one thing that I never felt while watching them that I did while watching Force Awakens was "I've seen this movie before". That alone is worth a lot of brownie points to me. And if the rumours about Episode VIII are true, you're going to have to reconcile yourselves to this era as Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor are coming back in a plot twist that comes right out of these movies.

Honestly this set should have been our $250-300 set. I mean the first thing most people do in Minecraft is of course build a small "acceptable" house to set up camp in, but once you start mining you have a ton of Cobbletsone. And what do you do with that Cobblestone? well you build a castle! I did it, my brothers did it, everyone i knew did it. Castles and Minecraft go hand in hand. A $250 castle set of some kind would have been way cooler than the Village. The Village is not something you create as a player, and in game it's really just something you sort of pass through and maybe pillage for it's resources and whatnot. And sure it's pretty cool in game when you come across them, but it's not something you take pride in like creating your own awesome castle to keep the baddies out. Hell i remember making a "draw bridge" of sorts that i could push a button and have all the creepers fall down into lava haha. So i could certainly see kids getting way more fun out of some kind of massive modular Minecraft castle. It wouldn't need to be %100 castle, it could have farm plots and other things in the courtyard or outside the walls. I sort of like this set, but i think it could have been larger. And if it were it would probably be a bigger success then the Village will likely be.

To obtain a price match with TRU, the item MUST be in stock. Argos T&C state it must be at that price on that day. Print a copy of the T&C to have it handy for Argos,

Reduces the shipping costs by quite a bit to buy more than 1. You also have to follow through to the end to see the price because the advertised price of £74.97 includes VAT (the European tax). When you enter a North American shipping address, VAT will be subtracted from the price. Then when you enter two, you will see your shipping costs only go up by a couple bucks making the cost per unit go down. There is usually a sweet spot on the # per order and depends on box size... For the Crawler Crane it must be two!

I'm sure someone will be able to get you a picture, but here's what I would suggest you tell them. "I appreciate your concern, but all large boxes such as the LEGO 10228 Haunted House are sealed using 2 tape seals on each end. This allows LEGO to seal boxes in a way that builders can open them without destroying the box. Only the smallest boxes use punch tabs for opening the boxes. Each tape seal has a code on it that shows the date it was packed at the LEGO factory. If you are not satisfied, you can return the sealed set for a full refund - at your own cost and minus the original shipping fee. A refund will not be issued until I receive the set and verify that it is in the condition I sent it." Then you wait... if they choose to send it back, great. Don't give them that refund until you have it in your hands.... and unfortunately you should now open it to verify the contents. Don't worry, it won't be worth any less open... maybe a couple bucks, but that's worth your peace of mind isn't it? If they open a case with eBay, just keep it honest. No name calling, cite your positive feedback all around, etc. Return Fraud is a real thing, but in reality it will help you very little here unless the buyer has had multiple complaints against them to their local police department. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_fraud

You're forgetting some things: a) there are a huge amount of minifigures collectors out there who want these even if they have zero affection for football. b ) there are a huge amount of football lovers out there who have Lego as a hobby and are thrilled Lego is doing something that relates to their hobby. c) Germany won the last World Cup and are current world champions. I'm a Belgian and support my national team but as a football lover der mannschaft makes my heart beat a bit faster, just like it does for Brazil, Argentina, Spain, etc etc... It's one of the best football teams in the world...

In Germany football "high season" goes on for about 365 days a year. There doesn't have to be no Championshi tournament or Cup final going on for people to go crazy about anything football. But when World or European Championships are going on, the already existent craziness is even bigger - in supermarkets you'll find 50 out of 100 products to be branded/modified with something football-related, be it sausages, beer, toilet paper (in that order) or whatever. A Manuel Neuer fan would now buy Candy bars, waffle bars, Milk drinks, chocolate bars and always get some fan service on or inside the package like player cards, stickers and so on. It's like you automatically get something collectible by buying a random something although you didn't even care about the goodie...

I know you have mentioned this before but I would stay away from mentioning deals you get from shady sources. If it's too good to be true, and not available to the general public, you can bet it is either: a. fake or a scam, b. obtained by illegal means.

Via LEGOLAND Deutschland - Are you ready to hunt?

The grammar police will be with you shortly.

Exactly. First, the fight is controlled by Vader. Ashoka runs at him for the first swing, and again when he's focused on Ezra, otherwise it's Vader who controls and is the aggressor. Ahsoka is basically trying to survive, not win. This episode is the best fight we've ever seen between Vader and someone remotely close to his skill and power level, in any media. Only the Kenobi fight in Episode III compares. The New Hope fight was weak, in Empire he was holding back because he didn't want to kill Luke, and in Jedi his heart wasn't in it. This was Vader as we've always imagined him and wanted to see. Ahsoka did very well, but she was never going to win unless Anakin resurfaced. The entire point of Vader is that he's the baddest of the bad. There's a reason he's considered the top screen villain in history. No one can beat him unless he allows it. Even the Emperor knew Vader was more powerful than he was. The Emperor is only on top because of skillful manipulation. You can't undermine that characterization by having any one Jedi/Force wielder beat him, let alone someone who probably hasn't had to fight anyone with even basic Jedi skills in 15 years like Ahsoka. I'm sure Ahsoka could stand a chance against anyone else. This isn't to minimize how good she is. The point is that Vader cannot be beaten. You can survive him as Ezra and Kanan did the first time they fought, and as Ahsoka seems to have done here (although that is very open to debate as we don't really know what was going into that cave at the end) but that's it. Despite a good fight and a massive explosion, Vader walked away.

I think you should definitely buy one. And the fact I'm selling three of them has nothing to do with that...
