It all started with one of our fish having babies. We separated them in a breeding tank for a couple of days. But that was not enough....my wife and sons teamed up on me and begged for a bigger tank. Next thing I knew...we had decided to not only get a bigger tank, but also decided exactly how we wanted to decorate it. We love our Lego displays, and this was just another creative way to add to the collection. What the hell...right?!! Great build! Very fragile! Great display piece!

Snope's bathrobe is great for my Playboy mansion MOC ... I've already got Heff and the Bunnies from the TLBM minifigs ....

Those are some nice stilletoes.

The first review is up. Few interesting things despite the fact that it's absolutely beautiful! It's a third largest LEGO construction in history. Many many new pieces in new color, some of them are extremely rare. The Bricklink Value Per Piece may quadruple the RPP price. Not a huge fan of Ninjago theme and movie, albeit the mixture of far Asian steam punk style with futuristic "total recall" resemblance makes it a no brainer to me.

FBA- 2x city arctic base camp for $142 ea 4x Indominus rex for $245 ea. 4x Trex trackers for $130 ea.

Well, until they didn't...

Ah yeah....

Looks like GoldMember @ 80-90 years old.

Did not find what I went in for, but ended up with a nice surprise! 1- Cindy Castle for $17 2- GB Ecto 1&2 for $30 All boxes are pristine, if we don't count dust!

Dinosaurs rule!

In honor of mustache-gate:

if anyone is waiting for the Crafting Box 2.0 to come out Aug 1st, Toys r us has it out early.... just got one for ourselves to take on our beach trip vacation, this should keep us very busy when idle in the hotel room.

Just checked an online tracker tool and it appears that someone bought up the (4) GB Ectos that were sitting on the shelf in my local WM. I was waiting to see it they would drop further. (moving on)

Eh

75158 SW less then a year production run, Exclusive Ahsoka fig, TRU exclusive. None left in any of their DC, no new inventory since 3/15/2017 so what is left in store is it. Can still place orders online that will ship from store. Also rumored by @exciter1I believe to be at every gift shop in Disney during SW celebration. 70323 Last I looked not available from any major online sources store stock only probably more

Do I put "like", "haha" or "confused" to your post?

DCPI please?

Ooookay...

I think it will look nice with some algae on it.

I would go for slow flip. At this point Dec 1st looks like a good date to try to sell. I am guessing if they have them, they will be gone after black Friday, and then skies the limit. 27R7 for the one I ordered from LEGO Shop at Home a few days ago.

Nice mech. Like the car but less than I thought before building. Great builds though for a set that retails at $29.99 Iron Man: Detroit Steel Strikes set #76077

That is outstanding. Love it!

My 4yo called him Clay Face Poop attack.

The Wonder Woman store event. Not impressed. Just handed a cup and told to go to the corner like an animal lol...

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?? ?

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

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.

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.

Yes, he has a scab jar.

You want full sets only, unless you can definitely pick those up, I wouldn't bother.

Ares from Woman Woman Warrior Battle. I didn't buy the Marvel set with the large minifigure so this is my first time building one. Nice build. Legs have pretty much the same range of movement as a regular minifigure. The arms are on ball joints so even more range of movement is possible. There are stickers for the toro that I didn't apply. The face is one piece and is printed (only printed piece in the build). Here are some pics showing how the legs, arms and head work.

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

I think the cats behaving like I would if somebody stuck a large cylinder through the front door.

Finally finished my Sandcrawler which I was about to complete for last couple of weeks. Very rewarding construction with many interesting assembly methods implemented with this one. Highly recommend.

Is it just me or are these pods awesome? I like them all

I am buying this. The ninjago theme has been producing some solid sets. By no means have I considered myself a ninjago fan but I may have to reconsider. The theme has been mopping the floor with more popular themes as of late. I'm looking at you Star Wars.

Classic space controller 15 by Damien Labrousse

Do you guys think the porsche is a good investment (for around 200Euro) ? Or is he to common?

I completely agree with Emazers on this one. I thought this was a near guaranteed winner the moment I saw it. I am not even that big of a car enthusiast but this evokes that emotion that not a whole lot of sets can. This set will be a potential game changer for Lego. Lego has had whole untapped market of middle aged males with disposable income, and that was the car enthusiast, and FINALLY they have come up with a set that will make someone who likes cars and is a minor Lego fan think about making the jump to be a true AFOL. While they have made a small attempt to tap into the Car Enthusiast market, Speed Champions and the Lego Creator Ferrari and Mini Cooper, those sets do not exactly evoke that "high end" collectible feel. This model does. The reasons I believe this model to be a winner are as such: 1. It is an iconic car. If you were a teenage male back in the 1990's, you likely had at least one poster of a car on your wall. There was a high probability chance it was the Porsche 911. 2. It passes the CEO test. I would definitely put this in a glass display case in the middle of a room, put a spotlight on it, and admire it for it's beauty. It has a high end feel, and is just impressive to look at. 3. Will tap into the coveted middle aged male with disposable income market. This is targeted directly at a 35-45 year old male with disposable income. Anyone coming out of their dark ages, after this has retired, and has affinity for cars will want this for display. 4. Potential for a series. If this retires, and is replaced by a Technic Ferrari, Lamborghini, or other high end sports car, this will go through the roof. An AFOL will have a chance to have a whole lineup of beautiful Technic cars to display. 5. Potential for a growing market. While Lego Star Wars market continues to grow, it is likely growing rather slowly compared to the market for Friends, or other markets Lego is now just starting to tap into. The car enthusiast market, is a market Lego, has mostly ignored except for some smaller and mid size sets (Mini Cooper, Ferrari) here and there so far. This set can get a car enthusiast and turn them into a true AFOL, especially if they come out with a new version every two years. The only other potential market I feel Lego has ignored so far is the Disney AFOL market. While they have many Disney Lego's, a large UCS scale Disney Park line or something of the like would go bananas. Thankfully and hopefully the upcoming Disney Castle D2C will change this whole in their strategy, and will only continue to grow that market. 6. International Appeal. It definitely does not hurt that this set will be popular across the globe. Few things can completely transcend countries and regional barriers. Cars (both the Disney movie and the real thing) and Disney, and Star Wars to some degree, transcend international boundaries. This only increases demand for a product. In short, this set has the massive potential, and if you are new to the game, I would strongly consider it. It will likely be less hoarded than the average 300 dollar set due to the fact that it is Technic, and the fact that it is 300 dollars. This is a no brainer for me, and should be for you as well. I think I would pay 600-700 dollars if I was an AFOL coming out of my dark ages to have one of these on display. This is coming from an AFOL who just recently spent 900 on an SSD, and 700 on an UCS Imperial Shuttle after coming out of his not first, but second dark age. Blugh! They look so nice though!
