Found an online return of Assault on Hoth 75098 at an area Target. The box was beat up and marked down to $175. When I got to the register, it rang up $125!

Hello All - back with another build that actually even really applies to this site. Needed quite a bit of space-like sets to get all the LBG pieces needed for this build. Abstract in nature, but just a tribute to all things ealing with Lego Greebling. Used a variety of techniques portrayed by others but also many that I created myself. Enjoy!

So my post office was the fruitcake this time. Years of being a top rated seller, new postal worker started during the summer. I pack up things nightly and leave it, and they have always picked up and scanned promptly. Since the start of the year the new postal worker starts leaving packages in her vehicle overnight according to the post office (she's been "disciplined" according to the manager), and I suddenly have a flood of late shipments. Went from 0% late shipments to having an insurmountable number. Called eBay and talked to one of their seller help specialists. Amazingly enough the lady on the phone told me "It sucks when you get an incompetent postal worker, we can see you print your labels the same day. We don't usually do this, but I'm going to remove all the late shipments from your account". So I'll be dropping packages off daily at the post office from now on. Lucked out on this one for sure.

No confirmed address, no send. No problem with zero rated buyers wanting things urgently but without PayPal Seller protection I wouldn't send something out.

Nice enjoyable build ?

Got a Ninjago City that was my wife’s Christmas present to me. I asked to wait to buy it until the promo was active.

Had time to finish it up today. Looks good and will display it with destiny's bounty at the warehouse

After building the UCS falcon I thought to take a step back and build something with alot less pieces. I had sold the taj Mahal when the new one was announced basically to come out ahead gaining instructions and the box. For the first 10 bags I regretted my decision as it extremely monotonous.

Ok guys, so I got a little more insight into this whole design. I went to the Signing event at the lego store in Salt Lake City, and had a chance to ask some question of the designer. (On top of getting my box signed.) I asked him why they nerfed it so much, and he said that his own design has some flaws and was extremely fragile, and had some seams that wouldn't work for stability purposes. He also admitted that there were some illegal techniques he used in his submission. So it started to make a little more sense why it's a bit different. So take it as you will, but this is coming directly from the Sadovich himself.

Yes. Tower bridge is worse IMO. I believe I hate when there are an enormous amount of steps using 1x1 plates and bricks being stacked up. TM > TB > BB

Hello pot.

Belle's Castle £69.99, buy in £38. Not a massive profit after fees and postage but my first sale on eBay so I'm happy. I've increased the price for the other one now to gain a bit more more profit.

Finally got to put together 21018 UN Headquarters, which I picked up for £10 from a charity shop a few months back. Used, but the box was mint so had every chance - happily it is complete with no yellowing and absolutely mint! Not my thing generally, but it looks rather good ??

Finished this up last week - hands down one of favorite sets, both in terms of the building process as well as the final result. If you are on the fence at all, I highly recommend it! It would be nice if LEGO put out a descent small sail boat to go with this - I have some of the recent Fishing Boats stored away, but somehow one of those just doesn't seem to do this set justice...

Built the Dragster Transporter set and it was bought for its versatility. So glad I bought a few for investment too. This set seems to be a winner and we are using it as more a heavy cargo transport. We have that one also. ?

I went for it.....cracked open one of my Tower Bridges and built the alternate build designed by Lee Inyong. It's a good looking modular, but if you look closely, you can see where he obviously was limited on pieces. For example, the most obvious is the sidewalk not being done in tiles. I am going to tweek the streetscape a little to better flow with my other modulars. There are also some very delicate components as you get deep into the build which add a bit of a challenge. But overall.....I think he did a pretty darn good job at making the most out of what he was provided. Made good use out of one of my shelf-warmers.....

– 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback (75884) – 14,99 Euro – Ford Fiesta M-Sporr WRC (75885) – 14,99 Euro – Ferrari 488 GT3 Scuderia Corsa (75886) – 14,99 Euro – Porsche 919 Hyrid (75887) – 14,99 Euro – Porsche 911 RSR und Porsche 911 Turbo (75888) – 39,99 Euro – Ferrari Garage, Ferrari 250 GTO und Ferrari 488 GT (75889) – 99,99 Euro

So January is basically over and nothing's announced for any Black ViP rewards for buying the MF. poor form. So much for "for a full year of special Star Wars-themed offers throughout 2018" thats a bad start. Will we even get anything in February?

Just trying to connect the dots. but it looks like there are actually 3 sets. IMO still too pricey compared to piece count. Yikes.

50% of your Lego profits? So you're not investing this year?

CHEERS2018 gave me $5 off $50 at Raise. Was tied to a personalized email showing my savings over 2017, so YMMV.

If they do that though they cut off the whole point of the promos. I.e. entice people to spend more money. Otherwise it's just another small seasonal set.

Somebody is seeing too much red.

Well done ! Out of Stock... Why it took you guys so long???

As an Irishman prone to the drink... musta confused you for having been rooting for clearing them. Apologies my friend

you can contemplate the efforts of designing, planning and executing this amazing little set with it's creators just below.

Yeah, similar for me. Will be laughing all the way to the bank if or when ETH overtakes BTC as the biggest crypto currency. NEO is recovering quite nicely too by the way. Don't know if any of you guys hold any NEO, but I see good prospects in this Chinese answer to ETH.

To be fair, Lego sell toys and are not portrait painters. The focus has to be on the cars not the background. I think the Porsche 911 set is a rehash of the S1 version and we alredy go the previous iteration of the 919 hybrid so the standout models are the classic Mustang, the Fiesta rally car and the 250 GTO. Why they felt the need to put the 488 gt3 in 2 sets in the same year with so many other classic Ferraris that could have been chosen is a mystery.

Had a bunch of points, so I went for another Classic Batcave + promo. Come on folks, make them disappear.

$50 local pickup. Appears to be built once and display only. I actually like this version more than the UCS one. While the proportions are still abit off, it’s not bad.

So you're saying your customer doesn't like She-Hulk when she's angry? ???

Lego Technic 42036

The price argument is a weak one IMO. Maybe there is piece and/or design issues, but charge another $20 and deliver a better set. $70...$80...$90...What's the difference? (Don't say $10 or $20...LOL). This set is not designed for kids IMO. It's another set designed for adults, who have the money to buy the more intricate set.

I realized I've only been sorting bulk and laying out pieces for sets to see what I'm missing without building any sets for months, so I pulled out the pieces for 6278. Along with my pirate ships, this was one of the largest sets I owned in my childhood. I used to make stop motion videos of the islanders against the pirates using a camera that weighed about 10 pounds. There's a VHS tape around somewhere with what could become The LEGO Pirates Movie. I will need to work on the special effects, though.

Built it yesterday. Absolute must build. Just an awesome set for the $.

It´s actually a lot like you. It retires and unretires every 2 days!

My ‘Original UCS Falcon, escaping from Docking Bay 327’ enshrined in a coffee table now complete.

Hello All, Back again with another build. Somewhat inspired by both 75155 AND UCS 10212, I present: Interested parties should check out http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/438488 for details, WIP notes, LDD pics, and overall write-up of the project. Thanks for lookin'!!

Here is my latest. Technic is usually what I build with.... but trying to build small is in Technic is new to me. Actually had much more fun than I thought on this one..... will likely try some more micro builds in the future. More pics here: http://www.moc-pages.com/moc.php/435307

​And this is why it does not take me much effort to wait to build it.
