Latest UCS build. Adding the current Tie Fighter. As others have said quite a repetitive and boring build but solid and swooshable and quite impressive when finished. Great minifigure as well.

Since the Snowspeeders were sold out when I went to the Lego Store Thursday, I had to backorder. Was hoping to build it this weekend, so in order to quench my UCS thirst, I broke open the UCS B-Wing I won in @Ed Mack's Christmas Raffle. Its pretty amazing. The real UCS sets are just leaps and bounds above all other SW sets. However, I'm pretty sure the designer had some kind of bet going about how many non-gray pieces he could hide inside this set. There are tons of red, blue, tan, and green parts buried in the guts. Now it's just wait and see how long it takes my wife to notice it's sitting on the foyer table, because I have no other place to put it.

I will post that story soon. Driving, unpacking and then working today is not leaving much time. Story hopefully monday with some pics

Yes please. I ended up with a total of 16 smaller bionicles. $15 FO Snowspeeders, $12 pegasus Sleigh, $5.60 Bionicles and then some coupons/discounted GCs. The system gave me the $5 back on $25 toys promo, so I'm probably going to have to email for my 75% back...

7140 X-Wing and 7150 Tie Fighter & Y-Wing

10252 Volkswagen Beetle, still sealed, on Offer Up for $60.

Busy day. $50 local. Not a huge win, but now I can sell the NIB one I have stashed. Edit: And the kid sold me a used/complete The Mine 21118 for $20 a week ago, so I didn't feel like haggling much.

Guaranteed that she'll notice. All Lego wives have this sixth sense when it comes to new sets being bought home in a clandestine manner

Just fancied building something so I cracked open a 60146 I bought to get free postage on LEGO Shop at Home order. Then decided to mod it to make it more of a street vehicle, kind of like the SUV the extreme sports 4x4 is based on[i

7130 Snowspeeder and 7180 B-Wing completed. They are in almost mint shape.

Seeing the upcoming new Carousel has inspired me to finally open and build my Ferris Wheel. Just finished the first several steps and can already tell it's going to be a beast!

Isn't there an NBA law it has to go to game 7 to maximize ticket sales? When was the last time it didn't go to 7, and how often does that happen?

I built 75171 Battle of Scarif. I really wish it were bigger. My first thought was to break out all my palm tree pieces and go to town, but then I looked at how puny the bunker was. I should have 2 more of these arriving soon. Plenty of pieces to really bust it out.

7128 Speeder Bikes 7110 Landspeeder

Finally got around to finishing 42039 c-model... found the instructions for it on rebrickable when i was searching for the f1 moc. Fun build and when will I ever build a technic lawnmower again?! Model is designed by Piotr Gurdek

Bought this on offer up $10

I had to have that pilot, not sure why lol Yup, number of pilots in hangar is growing. This one makes it 1 (number of pilots in my resistance hangar )

R2 PROMO poofed at SAH. The Milano is live though.

Good. Only 8 more to go and mine becomes more viable. At last I'm no longer the QFLL from FL. Or at least I'm not the only one.

When I die I'm hoping that my ghost can attend the estate sale and watch all of you vultures fight over my stash of Joker Steamrollers.

Nothing wrong with filling up your Resistance hangar.

Alright, since it's fun-with-coupon-sunday today, I've got a $20 back on $75 I won't use (expires tomorrow).... first person to like this post AND PM me wins Turning this into a popularity contest ...... Aaaaaannnddd ... it's gone.

Fine, if y'all want to take the fun out of free coupons and stick to speed, so be it From now on I'll keep my SYW Trivia show strictly on ABC (premiering this fall for anyone who's interested ?) Alright folks. I got a $10 off $30 coupon with someones name on it. First to PM me gets it EDIT: GONE

LEGO LEGO Shop at Home new Promo is out and you can double dip today R2 and milano!

In the spirit of giving back to the BrickPicker-Kmart community...I have a $20 back in points when you spend $75 coupon available to the first person who PM's me. And no, no jokes, homework questions or sports debate required Edit: Claimed

May the Fourth be with you! Tribute to Carrie Fisher. by DigiNik13

Well, Easter Egg Hunt didn't last long enough to hit $5 at S@H.

There's also 15% back on apparel. I was able to snag a Star Wars Celebration Store shirt I didn't have the opportunity to buy when I was there.

Silliness...you are forgetting the entire mental factor of the Warriors choking last year... and losing the first Christmas game. Cavs are in their head plain and simple and that is no easy feat to overcome in the NBA. Lebron is unstoppable, and Kyrie is the NBA's biggest X-factor. Draymond loses his cool again, Steph goes cold as usual in the finals - Cleveland in 6

From the TRU build today.

I'm pretty sure he said it was out of the catalog for this year and was therefore done. I'll try to find a link. Edit: link:

I think they are just high.

I hope the A-wing pilot is for personal collection, because otherwise they don't have much value.... I bought one for 20% off a while back and returned it once I had time to review the BL/EBay selling rates and volumes. BTW, a Friends doll with rocket shoes - awesome!

Damn I'm always late.

To make it worse John Lewis customer services have been appalling. First call the guy didn't care, second call the lady simply said return to store and buy another (price has gone up and they want me to do the physocal returning for them!). final email I sent got a poor response offering the smallest of discounts. Probably going to rethink ever buying from JL again, not just lego, but we buy lots of things there for family and ourselves (clothes, things for children, presents, household items). Also may not even bother with Waitrose anymore (same ownership).

Wallet really hurt after this one lol

And it's back up.

Star Trek fan!

Every box I send to FBA is covered in eBay tape

Customer Service just emailed me the coupons. Took less than a minute on the chat.

Even though they are heavily marketing the "ultimate collectors series" thing, I feel like TLG isn't targetting collectors anymore with these sets. By collector, I mean a person who expects a model which is the absolute best possible representation of a Snowspeeder in Lego, regardless of the cost (within reason). I feel like this model is not the absolute best possible representation of a Snowspeeder. That's not to say it isn't a nice model, but there are some obvious points that could be improved. Collectibility also implies exclusiveness / scarcity, which will not be the case for this set at all. Maybe my definition is wrong and they are going for a different type of collector or even completionists. Now I still think this is one of the best looking Star Wars sets out there. I think it looks better than the old one, though maybe it just looks more "modern". In any case, I don't have a 10129 so for me it's great. But I would have been happier if they did something new. There's only about 26 UCS sets so far, so it's kinda silly to have two duplicates already. If they keep them coming at this rate, we'll have a new Falcon, Y-Wing and Star Destroyer in the next five years. Meanwhile they could release AT-AT, A-Wing, Nebulon, Venator, Republic Gunship, Sail Barge, ...

I just finished the Silent Mary and really loved building it. It was a very satisfying building without the premade hull. Most of the ships using the big hull pieces are so stubby and cookie cutter the same. This ship felt like a UCS Star Wars build with the internal technic frame and partial cladding and a lot less tedious than the Death Star II. This allowed the designers to make a slender tapering ship that seems to have much better sailing ship proportions. Obviously none of the sailing ships are to minifigure scale, but on this one nothing is minifigure accessible except the deck. I think that is ok since is allows the other features to be smaller and more to scale. I love all the gold. I have uploaded a comparison with the Imperial Flagship which is the biggest Lego sailing ship. You can see the Silent Mary is much shorter, especially since so much of its hull is out of the water by comparison, but it is only a few inches shorter. The real questions is whether it can eat the Imperial Flagship. As you can see, I think the Imperial Flagship is little to big a bite. Maybe just a bit off the flank.

Back when Ewok Village was retiring, I managed to pick an opened set for $180. Finally got around to building it today (+ the new AT-ST and extra minifigs). Second picture is its new place in our modest Lego Star Wars display (above the doorway and basically in front of my desk). Great set.

From my son: 70905 The Batmobile I honestly dig this set. Best Batmobile I've seen so far.
