$75 local pick-up. Will likely be keeping this one.

2000451 Education Panama Canal. Finally pulled the trigger on this. Can't wait to get my hands on it! $199.96

$72 Just sitting on a shelf waiting to be purchased. Box is beat to hell but I'll be keeping this to build anyway.

Built the Rebel Transporter to compliment the medical Frigate. Next is Mortsevs Tantive IV and the hammerhead

Just fiinished building this stylish amazing little MOC. One of the best little projects I've assembled lately. You can build this one just by using parts from 10242. British Racing Green is spot on and works wonderfully with this little aeroplane. It's rather fragile and not intended to play around that's for sure.

Spent most of Monday sorting. Was thrilled to learn everything is Old Grey! Spent most of last night building! (some "building" paraphernalia has been redacted for the children...) Holy x32 Greebling Batman! Scored for $240 CAD all in, sold erroneously as a 6211. Should I file a SNAD?? ?

FBA - Minecraft The Mine - 3x $185. Scooby Doo Mystery Mansion - 2x $167. 8x Creative towers @ $85 each need to raise capital to keep up with the walmart clearance monster.

Francisco Hartley's Pagani Huayra with instructions from Thorsten50 completed.

Penguin's Arctic Cruiser car thingy I really like it. It shall be on display in the Winter Village some day

Dracula Castle by Toltomeja

Over the past 2 weeks. As you can see I have 0 faith in ghost rider that's why I bought them all so you wouldn't get stuck with any. Also bought a lot off offer up last week. Mainly SH but good deal

There's a discount code for 20% off. Includes shipping. CMSY6UJXWT Order direct from Panama Stem's site: https://www.panamastem.com/shop/2000451/set-del-canal-de-panama/ Edit: I personally think this set might see a more steep discount in the future, but this set is a "can't miss, must get" for me.

My son and I are on a tear and we built TLBM Clayface set. Love it! Next plan is to mod the arms to actual articulated fingers. Someone on EB shows how to do it without using any additional parts.

Had one of those on a small seasonal set. Claimed to not receive it. Tracking showed that is was delivered. Called local PO and was told that GPS coordinates from scanner showed it was scanned out front of the house. Passed info on to buyer. No further "my package didn't arrive". Funny how that works.

The ground around his grave shakes at the end of BvS. And c'mon, what's the JL without Superman? (what's the JL without Martian Manhunter or Green Lantern too, but whatever)

Don't even want the figures. Just gonna make a Moc train bridge

Beware the Bug-Beings of Mirphak 2 by Mark of Falworth

I am a teacher and my class are studying Space next academic year. I built this to show the children as a hook. Great building experience. A classroom display will follow with the rocket as a centrepiece...

Destinys Bounty from Ninjago Movie. Unbelievably enjoyable build and when you consider it's only 2/3 price of Silent Mary it's incredible value. The Dragons heads are fantastic.

Man are you trying to stir things up or what. No way TLG is stopping this money printing machine anytime soon.

On a lighter note. I was in Walmart today (I know how strange right?) Picking up some items and these two kinda rough looking late 40yr old guys walked past me on the LEGO aisle. I had "collected" several small sets and they were in my cart. Went one aisle over to check out the "friends" section and heard them say, "Did you see that guy..... he had like 5 or 6 of all the same set in his cart?" When I got to the checkout (outdoor lawn and garden) those two same guys were in front of me. They were buying the Batcave Break In. (just one) Gave me a chuckle.

Meijer : Mperks : 10% off general merchandise 7/28 - 7/29

if they side with you even if he leaves negative it will auto remove which is why you always want a case open on those. Refunding before a case still leaves you open to a negative and then having to request it being removed which is hit or miss.

Why yes, it was definitely from an eBay member who's ID fits that description. I might sit on it for a bit. My auctions end tomorrow as it is...

Ding ding ding!!! So far a great build.

R2!

Bit late, but as recommended by another BPer. Look into Postpony.com for international shipments.

Something with a Roman Numeral 5 perhaps?

Umarak the Demon by D.Niel

Ancient Ruins by Mark of Falworth

The LEGO Buzz is just over. For years, LEGO couldn't keep up with the required supply, and now that they have the ability to create the necessary supply (for a demand that is no longer there), they can't stop. Add to that the remakes, or even just the threat of the inevitable remake (since nothing is safe), and the counterfeits (even though I don't believe that the serious buyers buy them), there are certainly lots of resellers being scared into selling their inventory early (which inevitably weighs down on performance).

Somedays, I feel more like Mia than the guy with the mop.

I just sold a loose Dimensions Unikitty fig for $9.99 shipped and was wondering why. I'm saving the rest until the show comes out.

Bought all those within last couple days between Walmarts and targets. All sold already to one buyer.

A fortune cookie once told me "Most of your fears are imaginary" - That was one smart cookie.

I have had quite a string of fraudulent purchases lately. Warning signs for brickpickers: 1) item purchased buy-it-now, above market price, no negotiation, immediate payment 2) buyer quickly responds asking you to ship immediately for a birthday or because they'll be out of town 3) address looked slightly odd in paypal, but was verified. 2 of them had extra spaces, or periods in the address line 4) buyers were all low feedback, but this could happen at any feedback level What I did in each situation. 1) Set your shipping policy to give you time to think about it (I pick just under the 'extended handling time' penalty, like 3 days). This allows the REAL buyer time to notice they've been hacked and contact you. Also prevents your seller rating from going down, while you wonder if you're shipping to a scammer vs meeting your 1 or 2 day shipping stats. 2) Ask yourself is this too good to be true? If so, it's probably a fraudulent purchase. 3) Ask the buyer lots of questions. If they're unable to respond after contacting you so quickly, they might be doing this many times to other sellers. Try to discern the scammer from the real mom who needs the present for Timmy by Friday. 4) Once you find out it WAS a fake purchase, Do NOT respond to a paypal request for refund. Do the refund in EBAY first by requesting the user cancel the transaction, ebay then asks you to refund the amount. Do so HERE, not in Paypal. If you refund in Paypal first, then try to cancel in Ebay, Ebay tries to get you to refund AGAIN. This bit me, and I had to call Ebay for resolution.

Has the address of 600 Markley Street in Port Reading New Jersey been mentioned here yet? On Saturday morning I sold an Arctic Icebreaker for $160, they paid immediately and so I quickly packaged it up and headed to the post office before they closed at noon-just made it. Then, around 7pm I got a message from eBay saying it was a fraudulent purchase which had now been cancelled and to not ship the item. Well crap. I tried calling the post office- that went nowhere, couldn't get a human as it was after hours. Called eBay, they said to just call the post office on Monday morning, should be enough time to stop the shipment. Ok. This morning I do that- turns out I just need to go on the usps website and initiate a package intercept, which costs about $13. I do that and think 'good at least I'll get it back'. I keep checking the tracking number and about 4 hours later it says 'delivered'. What the heck. Then, I get an alert I've sold an item. Yay. Oh wait... It's a different name but the SAME ADDRESS! Nope! You're not getting my last Jabba sail barge you bastards! I call eBay and explain it to them, they tell me to cancel the order which I do. I get home tonight and plan on calling Paypal, I hope they will cover the cost of the Arctic icebreaker I shipped. But first I decide to google the address to see if this has happened to anyone else... Yup. Lots of people. Buyers having their accounts hacked and addresses changed to 600 Markley st. Sellers like me shipping things to that address and then the payment being refunded to the hacked "buyers" once it's discovered it's fraud. It's been going on since at least July 2016. You'd think there would be a way to flag that address in ebay's system so sellers wouldn't keep getting scammed. Apparently it's some kind of warehouse that ships the packages overseas. Well, hopefully I can get PayPal to cover the cost of set since the post office couldn't intercept it for some reason. I'll call them in the morning. Just wanted to warn everyone here to watch out for that address!

A no brainer. People that sale fakes get no sympathy from me

Make him eat his words.
