  2. If you're really out, then you would serve a really good purpose by finding another hobby, job, or whatever, and just bailing from letting Lego bother you this much. Seriously. Find something else... no need to harp on everything, every day, on every hour in forums like this. Life's too short to let little plastic interlocking blocks upset you and cause you to be so grumpy all the time. Maybe you need a trip to Rio? Or perhaps take up cricket or whatever angry brits find worthwhile to do to chill their negative angsty tones.

  5. These Classic Space sets arrived today. The boxes are in great condition like the instructions. No discoloration of the bricks. Not quite a bargain but I am very happy with these classic sets. Awesome theme, timeless.

  6. What planet are you on (not Hoth anyway)? The Snowspeeder is an iconic set from one of the coolest scenes in all of the movies, just because it didn't have much on screen time doesn't make it any less cool. Slave-1 got very little time in the OT too, do you think that's not iconic enough either?

  7. It may not have "needed" a remake, but it was a set that was released 14 years ago. You can bet LEGO has done the math to compare how many UCS sets sold in 2003 vs how many they sell today and deemed it both worthwhile in terms of $$ and pleasing their fan base. I'm glad they didn't try to make it "bigger" than the last one. The snowspeeder is not a large ship .. Updated build techniques and more accuracy (Sandcrawler anyone?) would be all that's needed and it would definitely differentiate it from the rush jobs of re-releasing the Death Star and the Winter Toy Shop with new set #s and their wild and fanciful claims that they were different. I look forward to seeing more photos... one early photo provides a glimpse but not enough to judge the price point just yet. *edit .. for the record.. the old one looks cool and the shape was pretty good, but the canopy was way too wide and stocky. it looks like a big improvement in the new picture*

  8. I've heard this complaint so many times, I think I'm ready to start a cottage industry. Consider this me hanging my shingle. I'd like to offer my services to apply your windshield stickers for Red 5's and Snowspeeders. I have never had any trouble with this in the past, and am always surprised when I hear how difficult this is for others. I think it might be my super-power. All you have to do is mail them to me with a $20 bill in the envelope and return shipping. I guarantee I'll apply that sucker straight and true with no bubbles. Here's my biz card.

  9. Another notable SYW purchase. Been grabbing a lot of these Conner Deli's for ~$15-17 $16.00 total after using a few of my points and $4 back with ****** & $1 back in SYW points. Win in my book

  14. I think this looks great and I missed out on the original. It seems like a few posters on this forum are negative about everything and it is really starting to get annoying. Every set is a turd, every leak looks horrible and LEGO is a horrible company that is going down the drain. I respect that people have their own opinions about jeez give it a break already.

  18. If you get a customer that has a non-working toy tag, you may want to send them a link to these instructions: Reddit LEGO Dimensions Toy Tag Fix I was lucky to get a Green Arrow from Gamestop, only to find out it didn't work. I spent about two weeks trying to get WB to fix it, and they didn't want to touch it since I didn't pay for it. I found these instructions and had it back up and working in five minutes. YMMV.

  19. 2nd set from the tub I grabbed off CL. Recovered all the pieces but had to order a couple minifigures. Got a manual set too, should help with the resale. Ended up with $90 in it, the twins and Hermione figs were pricey. Still I should be able to double that easily.

  21. I am creating this thread to start posting some updates or sometimes may solicit some feedback for the upcoming Brickpicker v4.0 update. Progress as been somewhat slow, but continuous for a while. It's funny that I just read the the post by Nathan over @ Rebrickable who just launched his 3rd update of the site. Kudos to him. I feel the exact same way. Actually, I think all developers are just a little bit nuts when it comes to expectations and timelines. This is not going to be an in-depth post, just a kickstarter post to give me a place to where I can go to to share my thoughts and ideas as well as to gather some from all of you. You may have noticed my new graphic on the forum index that will allow you to post ideas, members can vote on them and feedback can be given. Its a cool service that allow you to build a roadmap and integrate it with project management software. The past two years I have learned to use lots of fun tool at my 9-5 job (like Jira), and I have learned to become a less chaotic engineer. Anyhow, here is a small bullet list of things to expect with v4.0: Site redesign. Everything will finally all look like its part of the same site. Price guide and Brickfolio overall Yes, sold sets will finally be there Multiple brickfolios for those that have personal and business Lots more data to do your own analysis on your collection Full syncing with Brickset/Rebrickable (instead of just the import only feature that is currently there) Brick Classifieds will be brought into Brickpicker. (probably my most hated thing I did was create a separate site) There will be a premium offering (more info will be released at a later time). There is much more to announce, but I am not ready to go into details until I actually can show a few things. There is no ETA announcement just yet. I will say it will be sooner rather than later, but not ready to commit to date. I want to make sure I will be able to hit and there is still work and QA to do. Anyhow, thats what I have for now. Again, feel free to leave some ideas for other members to read, vote on and see if it can be added into the initial release or we can add it to the roadmap for future release. More to come....

  24. I guess this could be a relevant thread. I received this email from PayPal this morning. 1:30am .75 lbs is 12oz. So .78 lbs is .... 12.48oz I was off buy less than 1/2 an oz. First UPS steals my office chair. Then Kmart sends me a mystery box of shoes. Lego might not send me multiple freebies. And usps is warning me about .48 oz. So this is what it's like to be reseller scum. Anyway, be careful. They're watching us.

  26. 10212- it's missing a few pieces which the seller either lost or it got lost in the poor packaging but I was able to finish it with spare parts until replacements come in. The realization that parts were missing kept this from being as fun as it should have been but it still looks pretty great and massive. This was a warm up for my eventual build of the 10221 SSD

  31. I've said it several times on here already, but it's worth repeating: EBay (at least in the US) has a Seller-initiated cancellation reason just for this: "Issue with buyer's address". I always ship to the Paypal confirmed address, and if that has issues, or the buyer sends a soppy "Oh I made a mistake in my address" story I reply by cancelling the order and sending them a polite email telling them to reorder the item once they have corrected their address. I _NEVER_ correct an address.

  32. Yes, I personally like the look and design of this set, as well. I never bought the original Snowspeeder, nor was I going to pay a couple grand for itbut, I can already see that this will be a great build and will probably buy this one a year or so from now during next springs 2x VIP event. Although, I hope the cockpit is printed, and not a sticker like it was in the Red Five build. That thing was by far the most annoying sticker of all time, because if you didn't get it right the first time you ruined it. Last year was a bit of a letdown, because there wasn't really any sets of this nature and the Death Star and Assault on Hoth set the stage for a mostly negative year of rotten tomatoes being tossed at the brand. Honestly, people can harp saying they want other ships made, and while I don't disagree, most of those ships are not going to capture people's attention. Star Destroyers, Tie Fighters, Millennium Falcon, Snowspeeders, AT-AT's, and X-wings are the corest of the core. And sure they could venture out into other arenas like the A-wing, Republic Gunship, Jabba's Sail Barge, or half those other prequel ships that are not as iconic, but I don't see them cranking out UCS sets for many of those.

  36. I think the $1k ceiling will be difficult to break going forward but if any set has a chance, this is it. Too many sellers out there though with 65 on Amazon alone. I'm sure many were holding out for that elusive $1k sale ... which tanked the price. Same thing happened to HH when it approached $500. Hate to say it, but the fakes can't be helping this set either [emoji20] I know the price spread is significant but that's the reality we live in.

  37. If you can't handle some gentle ribbing in the form of a googled meme, then I have no idea what you're doing here. I could have just outright said I don't believe a word you say about your teeny tiny .. ummm ... return percentage. As for Stephen Rockefeller, he may be a crabby old mod but he has more ethics and class than most of you guys put together (how's that for old time sayings). If you want to LYAO about the memes I posted in response to your fabulous ROI claims, fine.. but leave the other guys out of it.

  39. I'm also interested in in what McCarthy's rising profile will do for the value of her Minifigue. I went googling for a "Sean Spicer Minifigure." No one has gone there yet, but it's only a matter of time before we see a Mobile Podium MOC.
