  5. After my best ever Sweeps week (~$22 in points this week alone) I was able to buy the following using only Sweeps winnings (and a $10 surprise points on $50 offer): Gift Card was 6% discounted, so total out of pocket was $15.58 after tax. 76% off for a set that came out just last week, not bad. Personal purchase, so I'm okay with it not being free Thank you uncle Eddie!

  6. Not a set I've bought but got the instructions for Mirko Soppelsas UCS U-Wing MOC and ordered all the parts i don't have. Hopefully this will tide me over until 75192 hits the shelves. Not a cheap set of instructions to buy but the manual is a work of art and comes with a unique numbered tile as it's a limited release.

  7. My son just really started to get into Minecraft, so we built our first Minecraft set. I like the flexibility and creative options. I can see why kids love the game and the sets.

  19. Super off topic, but omg it'd be so great if someone made a Planet of the Apes IDEAS set. Based on the '68 original, could come with the Statue of Liberty sticking out of the ground and the famous scene of Taylor (Charlton Heston) hanging up in the net . Finish it off with the evil Dr. Zaius, the 2 chimp doctors, and a couple gorilla soldiers on horseback. Would be epic Also, imo AT-AT is never gonna be done with justice in less than 2000 pieces at a minimum

  22. Today I sold a 75059 Sandcrawler via CL - thinning out some inventory to pay for recent Walmart clearance buys (and clearing space for those sets). At the end of the transaction, the guy says "Do you like beer?" I thought to myself "weird question to ask in this sale, at noon in a church parking lot" but I said "Uh, yea, a lot." He says "then I have some home brew for you." I say "does this involve me giving you back some of this cash?" He says "no, it involves me brewing way too much beer." So he gives me a 6 pack of 3 different brews with a spreadsheet of what they are. Says wait 2-4 weeks on the Voodoo Baby. I asked what if I really like one and want to buy more? He says "I can't sell it, but I'd trade for things like Lego." I told him I'd keep his email address just in case. So, seems legit, hopefully I'm still alive after drinking the first bottle.

  23. Maybe it's my age, as the months come tumbling down before I turn 40, but a lot of my favourite mid size sets in the last few years have harked back to when I was a kid, Ecto-1, Mystery Machine, Benny's Spaceship. Look how happy Voltron made @Alpinemaps. Got me thinking to what sets I'd love to see made and I seem to keep coming back to tv sets from decades ago. Maybe this is what Ideas is all about, but I'd love to see a dedicated retro tv theme, here's a few of the sets I'd like to see: A-Team Airwolf Knight Rider Battlestar Gallactica - I know, Disney would never allow it Buck Rogers Magnum PI - Car and helicopter The Fall Guy pickup Dukes of Hazzard - PC means this won't happen Starsky and Hutch Wacky Races Mask Babylon 5 Can't believe such a crap set like BGGT got made, when there's so many more cooler sets out there to be made still. Love the fact that minifigures for movies/TV from these generations are creeping in with Dimensions, BA, ET, Beetlejuice, Gremlins, would love to see even more.

  25. Just ordered a couple using firefox on MacOS. I did an item search in the search bar with product ID of 112936966. Seems like you gotta clear your cookies/cache before it'll work. https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=112936966

  30. I'm just going to copy pasta you, because exactly this. Hanna Barbera stuff would be awesome. You just need one iconic set piece from each with the main characters and you're done. Like the Flintstones car with four minis and Dino. Or the Jetsons "car." If you wanted to do a mega set, you could do Yogi's flying ark and include a bunch of the characters (anyone remember that?) Wacky Racers were also HB, so you could throw those in there too.

  35. again, this is just my opinion. the out result is clearly not lego's fault. lego just followed the design art / stills given to them. heck, i'm sure the scenes with this super-sized "planet of the apes" AT-AT cool will be cool during the movie the lego model just looks like a regular AT-AT mashed with something that didn't make the Chima cut and then finished off with a michael bay inspired transformers bearded face.

  38. Created this from a 16"x20" front-loading shadow box and white foam core from Hobby Lobby and bricks ordered from LEGO Bricks & Pieces. Cragled 48 1x2 plates to foam and clicked on other bricks to build Minifig stands that can be modified for a variety of figs and accessories. Since it is front-loading, figs can be easily swapped out.

  40. 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!

  41. Lots of people loaded up, sad fact is every set nowadays is quietly "horded" people just don't want to post what there buying. EU is a totally different market from US, most of the sets which explode in growth perform much less here. The lego game is definitely changing, the best way is no longer to sit and wait for sets to mature 1-2 years after retirement, but to: 1) qf sets during initial launch period (21309 apollo). 2) Find a good deal during 3 for 2 / store clearance and play the quantity vs quality game i.e. £5 profit per small set with an RRP of £10, but sell 40 / 50 of the item. 3) Find a "normal" set like Dragon sanctuary which performs out of the ordinary. This involves stalking the sets which are due to retire, and judge from your local market to see if it will be in demand (i.e. mixels s9 / last bionicle wave in UK).

  43. Personally I find the Parisian Restaurant the most beautifully and strongly designed Modular. It is a cohesive design, with excellent details both inside and outside. As a movies-fan I like the PC theme (cinema) but am not 100% sold on the execution of the design. It has some downsides that reduce overall attractiveness. Like many have said here, and multiple times too, PS is one of a kind in that you can have multiple of the housing side in a street and it will look great. It's a great selling point of the PS set.
