I had the great pleasure of attending the four-day BrickCon Convention this past weekend, here in Seattle. Now in it's 15th year, BrickCon is one of the longest running shows in the country. It was my third year attending the full convention; I also visited the Public Expo three times before that.Los Angeles City Hall, by Bruce Heller.We had an amazing selection of LEGO models on display, about 25% more MOC's were registered this year than last year! My passion is LEGO Architecture, and I was rewarded with amazing models of the Norwegian Opera House, Los Angeles City Hall, and a massive model of Mont Saint-Michel to name a few.Mont Saint-Michel.Not to worry, there was an excellent representation in all of the other themes as well, including Art, Space, Castle, Bionicle, Technic, Cars, Micro BrickCon, and more. We even had three amazing models based on Game of Thrones.A collaborative Classic Space themed build called "WACKTRON" "The Edge of Glory" by Paul Hetherington was inspired by Dia de los Muertos and colorful Tattoo Art patterns. I also brought a selection of LEGO Architecture models, including the models featured in my book, The LEGO Architect. I was excited to unveil two completely new models at BrickCon: The first is a small model of Torre Cepsa, in Madrid. The second is a 1:650 scale model of Rainier Tower, 1977, Seattle, WA by Architect Minoru Yamasaki. My LEGO Architecture models on display at BrickCon. (Rainier Tower at left)I was inspired to build at the 1:650 scale by the work of Spencer Rezkalla & Rocco Buttliere. The scale is convenient for Skyscrapers, as a single story can be modeled using two plates. (I will share an in-depth look at my model soon.)Private Convention: In addition to the models on display at the Public Expo, I really enjoyed all of the presentations, games, conversations with other builders, and after hours celebrations. There is a gathering each evening with speakers, awards, and prizes.BrickCon 2016 was a great experience, and I hope you are able to join us next year! ---tom P.S.

Not today, for everyones wallet's sake.

So, I imagine this price will draw some interest and I am breaking the rule of buy one for yourself before sharing the deal. The item is currently out of stock, limit one, and I would love to have one at this price (everyone would right?). Have chatted with online agent and they could come back in stock if an order cancels (good luck) or at online restock next day. Lego Disney Castle now on disneystore.com and at RRP of $349.99 (20% discount would make $280). https://www.disneystore.com/play-sets-more-toys-disney-castle-playset-by-lego/mp/1408491/1000265/ Through Monday SAVE20 takes 20% off and is valid on Lego from my testing so far. SHIPMAGIC gets free shipping over $75. Note: New Star Wars Sets are currently available for RRP + $5 so most come out around a 15% discount after the 20% off.

This is one side of our collection.

Some people say this thread isnt as active as before, I think most people just want to keep quiet about what current sets their buying. So to follow their example I'll only list some "retired" items I picked up recently: 2 x 71011 Series 15 Minifigure boxes (67% off) 3 x 71012 Disney minifigure boxes @ RRP 1 x 42009 technic crane @ RRP 1 x 10240 Red 5 X-Wing @ RRP

for the rest of you suckers :

Yes, don't make it your first post on this site.

With everyone posting their collections earlier this week, I decided to post how mine currently looks. I am likely building the Porsche with within a few weeks so will have to move things around. Enjoy!

Hi guys, I have just finished another Star Wars MOC. This time I wanted to mess around with the idea of forced perspective and decided to recreate one of my favourite shots from Return of the Jedi. As with all my micro mocs I wanted to stick to the 16x16 base, which in this instance was quite a challenge but eventually I managed to find a way to fit everything I wanted into the scene. The colour palette choice for Jabba's Palace was partly based on the official lego sets of "Jabba's Palace' and 'Rancor Pit' especially the dark grey base for the Palace to sit atop but I decided to go with darker colours for the Palace itself similar to the actual scene from the film. Finally I have recently got hold of the Boushh mini fig (one of my favourites) and so wanted to incorporate her somehow. I then had the idea that Chewie and Liea would have walked the same route to get to Jabba's Palace and so changed the sky to a sunset scene to reflect the time of day they arrived at the Palace. Which do you prefer? C3P0 and R2 or Boushh and Chewie? Also I am thinking of doing some more scenes similar to this, incorporating micro builds and mini figs but wondered if people liked this style? Should I stick to the micro landscapes I have been building or do more scenes in this style?

I don't have that waist line, and I've been looking for it for years.

Crack open two AAs and you can create 4 walls on your way to a great modular moc.

Darth Revan for $31 (shipped) on Amazon FBM. ... crazy... had it listed at the lowest offer around $26 for about a week. Just this morning I thought, "I don't know if I really want to sell that right now..." so I raised the price $5, putting me about sixth on the list. Sold a couple hours later.

That's about the max. Take the money and run.

Someone post a deal to get us back on topic before we get sent to the Headmaster

Jet.com Vader TIE Advanced VS A-Wing star fighter 75150 $57.19 each if you buy 3, with discount and extra savings, no tax.

I really only wanted 3 key-chains... two for me and one for the wife but... ya know... those errors turned into more than 3...

Here are some ideas to get points.......If you plan on spending the $45 to get the Vacation Getaway set ....then why not get a couple pairs of jeans with it ??? I purchased 2 pairs of jeans @ 21.99 each (Levi) and received $40 back in points. So in the end I spent roughly $50 for 2 pairs of jeans and Lego Vacations Getaway. Just play around and get some items you need. Then use the points on more Lego that you don't need....(says the wife)

Yes !! Used it on the Vacations Getaway $ 55.99 Typed in the code they sent me for $10 off $50 and it brought it down to $45.99 =) then worked magic with my points from there........have fun !!

Don't worry, it was already OOS when he posted about it. It's more of a heads up to keep checking this weekend in case it comes back.

"This time next year, we´ll have sold all those Oxo Suits to the Ear´ole zone, Rodney mon cher" "And those Chima Speedorz too, Del?" "Shut up, you plonker!"

There are asterisks, so probably on 'select' LEGO... Translation: a list of ALL current/past LEGO in stock.

Big fall in GBP today so good deals on everything at Amazon UK!

Krennec's cape and the death troopers pauldrons are all in that white box.

I really need the build instructions for that Voltron set. I have to build it.

Doing it as we speak. They are all in there. Awesome so far.

Activate interlock, dynotherms connected, infracells up, megathrusters are go! GO VOLTRON FORCE!!!!

"Suit Guy" habitats

Text ONLINE to 56278 and get $10 off a $50 purchase. And yes it works on Lego =)

I would just like to point out the genius of discounting these exclusives for business users by Amazon. They know that the large majority of users buying these sets in such large quantities are highly likely to sell these on Amazon down the road... freeing up inventory space and making similar margins...

VOLTRON!!!!......please pick Voltron!

What business doesn't need 20 Ewok Villages?

You guys and your bananas and babysitters. I won't post a relevant .gif for that.

My son took a video of some of our SW Legos that he proudly displays in the basement. We haven't added the Death Star, Kylo's Shuttle, Jabba's Palace, the Rancor Pit, or the Spider Droid to the display yet bc they are still in his room, but I'm sure he'll bring them down and add them eventually.

Not a good pic but I just finished my UCS falcon last night. Decided to get a few friends together. Lol

Modular city. Just missing CC and TH (which just isn't built yet). My daughter has a parade of Disney figs walking down the street.

We are recently out of the Dark Ages, so couldn't find / afford SW UCS retired sets like@TCSBGDADY, so focused on modulars.

UCS set area is coming together!

I returned from my dark ages less than 6-months ago. I'm caught up and ready for Brick Bank! I added the MMV to the Winter Village. Other "notable" details include Polar Bear championed by the Snowman, "wise man" Qui-Gon Jinn on a camel, and the Gingerbread man in his house. As for the modular city, things to see include the ominous Imperial Shuttle, standard Spider-man, Dracular doing his best E.T., minifig versions of the wife and I lightsaber dueling, and Doc Ock causing terror from atop the fairgrounds.

Here's our Christmas village for this year - see if you can spot the sets between the MOCs Background decoration courtesy of my 9yr old son, bunch of MOC elements courtesy of my 9yr old daughter .... We have the winter village on a table, and a train and a "north pole" under the tree. More images in my Flickr gallery.

Waiting on another "kids bedtime no links" Lego special of @lazuli16 .

Well I do not like your 48th post.

Please not Voltron.

Maybe they should. With the current rules about them not accepting a set from a license that they have already made into an ideas set, they can just get some of these themes out of the way.
