Happy Fathers Day.....going to crack open the Town Hall tonight...

It's funny that anyone thinks TLG would be releasing sets that they aren't making sufficient margins on. I'd go the other way and say that sets like this show you how much they overcharge for most everything else.

Hi, Have been reading this site for a little while now and wanted to come out of the shadows. This place is great and I enjoy perusing it most days. I came out of my dark ages about a year ago with a kijiji purchase of two 75055 Star Destoyers. My bank account has been in freefall ever since;) I don't have the time to build as much as I would like but love it when I can and especially with my two boys:) Thought I could help put some funds back in the account by selling a few sets, but it is very true that it is easy to buy and harder to sell! I am learning though and I'll make a few bucks some day. Thanks,

FOUR for $32 pre tax

The price of 6862: Power Armor LEx can finally rise up as I sold my last one for $30 FBM.

Third round (IIRC) for the crossbones and iron skull sets.

We watched the Lego Batman movie and did most of the 60080 Spaceport. My daughter and I recently finished the Saturn V and are on a space kick now!

Picked up a 10215 local today for $55. The UCS plaque and sticker are missing but other than that the set is in perfect condition (including the stickers).

My wife offered to get up with our son overnight, so I stayed up late to finish Slave I. I usually get to steal an hour a few nights a week after bedtime to build, so it took about three weeks. This afternoon my daughter and I are going to break out her Duplo rocket and Saturn V! PS I finally got some shelves!

This post is directed at small parts sellers, shipping internationally, that like living on the edge. I've come up with a packaging hack to get around the $13.50+ charge for international shipping. Two caveats: -insurance is not offered for this method. -this method is not time tested. I've been shipping small overseas parts orders as "First Class Mail International - Large Envelope" (in PayPal.) The main constraint is the envelope must be less than 3/4". Today I shipped these to Indonesia: I used three pieces of 2-ply cardboard. In one of the pieces, I cut two holes. The pieces with the holes goes in between the other two pieces. The LEGO sits in the nests created by the holes. I taped up the LEGO sandwich. Stuck it in a manila envelope and bathed it in tape. The finished envelope was 1/2" thick and 3oz. Shipping cost to Indonesia was $4.05. I've done this eight times now with no problems. I only ship small parts, torsos, legs, heads, and hands this way. I have avoided sending some more fragile small parts, like helmets using this technique. As has been discussed earlier, sending LEGO in an envelope is not recommended and has it's risks. That said, is anyone else using envelopes for international shipping? I'd be interested in hearing how you do it. Cheers.

Couldn't not

https://t.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=66869556 the BOGO 40% off sale in store thru 6/24 but this set scans as $19.99

Nice. I'm glad that I had my workhorse @Alpinemaps get me one when it was half off.

A City: Caveman theme for 2018 would be great and good to add to a Captain Caveman MOC.

Was able to use my 10% off entire purchase and 25 dollars in points back.

This is the quickest retired set ever. Discounted 30% on Wednesday, Retired by Saturday. https://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Jestro-s-Volcano-Lair-70323

Happy Father's Day to those who truly earned the title like everyone here it seems.

My 7 year-old son got the Creator Lighthouse 31051 for his birthday. Of course I had to 'help him' build it. Maybe for his 8th, I can get him an Expert set.

(Disclaimer - the following is aimed at no one in particular, but simply offered as advice that could benefit us all a little.) I wish everyone complaining about getting screwed would realize that you have more of a say and impact than you think - and by accepting these bogus decisions and policies and simply venting here, you are only enabling it to continue. I've had final decisions reversed, had buyers made to pay for bogus "SNAD" return shipping, had negative feedback erased, and more. You simply have to be patient and persistent - and let eBay know that the situation is unacceptable. First make an honest effort to work it out with the customer. Have the evidence available showing that you tried to provide your own excellent customer service, without being cheated. Then escalate the case to managers. Insist on it when they say one is not available. Call back when they hang up. Put in the time. Explain your situation over and over. Document every call and conversation. Reiterate how long you've been a customer, and how terrible the customer service experience you are getting is - all without being a jackass. Simply make your problem their problem, and they will usually become more willing to help you get rid of it. It's rare, but you can even occasionally find a human that cares enough to see the situation the way it is, and do what is right. Yes, they have the power to do that. There is no "buyer always wins" policy. Certainly that is the eBay culture that has developed in the past few years, but each case is handled individually in the end - by humans. Do your part and make them act like it... or else don't complain. Maybe it's not worth the effort to you, and maybe it shouldn't be this way, but deal with things the way they are to the best of your ability and you'll find a lot more satisfaction.

Kmart closing on Walmart road trip I hit one out-of-the way store closing and found a few gems... Emma's House (sticker 69.99) for $42 and 4 Space Starters (sticker 9.99) for $6 after mystery coupon, GC and points back. The weekend VIP 15% in points didn't show up in my account. - Coupons work if the cashier is willing to swipe them - my cashier had a debate with the front-end manager and told the manager she'd been swiping coupons all day. - pre-loaded coupon applied for $7 off- I assume that this was a 7 off 50 I had loaded, but was totally not expecting since it didn't work at a different store closing last week. - $10 in points on $50 applied

eBay dropshipper. Stolen credit card or they ran out of stock of their original source (possible, but unlikely).

Wooo nice one mate

More baseball games today. Was hoping my Saturn V would show up yesterday but no dice. Will have to catch US Open updates during the games today. Luckily the weather is beautiful for mid June here.

I decided to crack open an Ewok Village to build with my 5-year-old daughter. My OCD wife has offered to sort the pieces for us.

Watching lego batman movie with son, sorting bulk

Yes. An oliphant would've been awesome.

I have quite a few sets that I have recently built and still in the queue. The most recent build is the new Snowspeeder and I was happy to get a refresh of this set for my collection. I built two-to-three bags every day for 5 days and I really enjoyed the build because there wasn't a lot of greebling. My favourite part is the ass end; it looks fantastic and the designer did a great job on both that and the sleek appearance. I put the stickers on but the only ones that add aesthetic value are the front orange one and the side window white stripes, the others are a complete waste. I would like to see a little more work on the underside (or how about a functioning tow cable) and two tiles on the back 45 degree 1x2 bricks instead of loose studs but it's an overall great piece and I don't really like the Snowspeeder to begin with!

Okay, I'm gonna have to disagree with you. That ain't no remake. That DB is a work of art. I do like the Fire Mech and the Sand Green Dragon. Those are awesome.

First attempt at using rebrickable and brick link. Should have really stuck to building 1 model at a time but complicated life by ordering for 4 different models to save on postage. Finding some parts of both brick link and rebrickable more hard work than they really need to be. Here is my first moc, Anio's ST19 Sith Infiltrator. Still waiting on a few final printed parts and the sticker but happy with the result. Roskolnikovs large AT-AT is next up then the upgrade pack for 42056 and thanks to @thoroakenfolder I'm busy collecting parts for a 10134

Look what I finally took out of the car lol. When I risked my life to drive around in a tropical storm to find 7 dollar scout troopers (and whatever else I found) Yes it was worth it.

*** To qualify, you must be one of the first 80 people to spend $75 on Lego sets but pay only 50% of your total with a credit card, second half must be cash. Then you must go the loose lego section and stack 30 lego heads on top of one another. Lego heads you choose MUST be from the same series (i.e. super heroes, star wars, etc.) After you have your stack of lego heads you must find the nearest Brick Specialist, get on one knee, present the heads to them and ask kindly for access to the Adult Wonder Woman build.

Ebay Sold my last 7965 MF $175+ shipping.

I was once shipped a minifigure in a paper envelope. I only received an empty envelope with a torn corner. As much as I dislike the extra cost, I always do the minimum of bubble mailers (@2.61 or greater).

Used 6211 Imp Star Destroyer (my 4th one in 12 months, working on #5 now) w/ instructions, no box. In for $32 out for $133 net after fees ($10 buy-in + $22 in parts... original owner glued the 4 most expensive parts :P). $100 profit is ok on this one since I inventoried but never assembled it.
