£7 from a carboot sale, had to replace some missing parts on Bricklink though, total buy-in was around £30.

Stopped by a WM and was excited I found a box of minifigs. But it looked like someone had already gone through smushing them all. Had no hope for a policeman. With the help of the Brothers Brick feel guide I found one of each in less than 10 minutes! Lo and behold, the last one I tried was...the policeman! [happy dance]

#NotATrueFan Leia did her Mary Poppins routine on the Raddus, named for the Admiral who went down with his ship in Rogue One.

Original and still the best in my opinion.

Those are an easy pass at ANY price.......

I missed the Assembly Square Frenzy last week, but I guess Luck compensated with this Lot I got today....

Damaged. 10% off msrp.

This is what the UCS reveals have come to, praising the graphic designers and not the set designers; and that's the reason why they are losing money.

SAH actually help Spanish resellers by marking up all the confirmed turdy exclusives so we don´t buy them; Silent Mary, Batcave, Joker Mansion etc. 400 cheese slopes.

That was Supraboy, must be basking in the glow of his last flapjacks as they fizzle on the grill in the TRU parking lot. The kids will no longer take $5 gift cards. Doh, I forgot about the precision Powerglove Scale he had.

Only when I take my minifig sorting tray with built in scale.

I think I ran in to a brickpicker in Target this afternoon - hiding in the back aisle with a new box of minifigs in the cart while frantically smooshing bags ?

What a fantastic building experience, and a great price! I just finished writing a review based on my first impressions of 41597 - Go Brick Me, which was just released on Sunday. The set represents a great value at $29.99 USD for 708 pieces. While I've only scratched the surface of using this set as intended - to build custom Brickheadz of your friends and family, i'm happy to report that the selection of parts and instructions is a great place to get started. I also included a detailed look at some of the parts in this set, as it represents a great price for a parts pack, too. Seven parts available for the first time in new colors. We get a handful of existing parts in new colors, two new parts (glasses), and a large selection of parts in rare or relatively expensive colors such as 312—Dark Nougat (Medium Dark Flesh), and 106—Bright Orange (Orange). To see my review, analysis of the parts in this set, and first attempts at building my own Brickheadz, visit: http://brickarchitect.com/2018/review-41597-go-brick-me/ Sincerely, ---tom

If the Porg comes with a plaque, you might have new hope.

Then I am looking forward to the next UCS ISD

I'm in for 100 boxes (no LEGO, just the boxes).

i agree with @superlegolover . don't sell sealed CMFs. just put a small slice with scissors to confirm the minifig and mention that when selling. better to be safe than sorry especially with 'chase' figs. however, series 10 mr gold was / is a whole other story...

Boy, you go out smooshing bags and you can really meet some characters. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum

i don't get lego UCS sets anymore w/ the stickers and minifigs. the included minifigs fit in their vehicles sometimes but not always anymore. e.g. this y-wing, slave but not the snowspeeder, tie-fighter or x-wing.

There was a time when the 9493 X- wing was selling close to what the UCS X wing was selling for. If 75172 get anywhere near $200, i'll be happy....but i'm not holding my breath.

Smooshed 15 of 17 Series 18 minifigs and a couple of 50% off polybags at Target.

Not sure how his magic sorting basket handles 17 figs... I guess it’s magic and we’ll never know!

Who was the guy with the magic sorting tray or baskets? We need him right now.

Yasss I got two police guys!!! All in all, good day Sent from my SM-G950U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Rogue one finally done. Managed to squeeze in a few days before Easter break.

Wow your real name is superheat I am envious

Go Brick Me is on google express via Walmart if you have a 20% off code. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum

Walmart US has some of the JW sets listed on their site, the item pages don't seem to work on desktop browsers, but mobile browsers seem to work. Placed an order for the JP set. Wife is in the US so she'll pick it up for me I figured it would probably just be a bug and the listings went live early, but I've already had 1 order ship. I also got a $5 off $35+ purchase on the mobile app, no idea how, it just auto applied, maybe first time use or something.

correction. below.

I had to Google who Raddus and Moroff are

The page is up on shop.lego.com with more pictures https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Y-Wing-Starfighter-75181 Minifig is confirmed to be Gold Leader. Release date is May 4, 2018

I do prefer the original - but the new box is beautiful.

LEGO MINIFIGURE FACTORY PROMO IS LIVE

Last night I finished building the Parisian Restaurant while drowning my sorrows after the KU loss. I love all the small details, especially in the top level. This was my first modular and I’m hooked. I can’t say I wasn’t warned!

It must rank up there as the poorest set to be given the mantle of a UCS set but despite it also being the most expensive set in my collection on a price per piece basis, at over £1 per piece, I had to have it. Only five more to go and then my Star Wars UCS collection is complete.

Well, she´s probably learnt her second English phrase by now;

London bridge extension. Looks awesome but difficult to display now.

March 30, 2018. This is a date that will forever be remembered. I can get a little emotional at times. As an adult, there are a few instances when I've shed a tear. I cried when my son was born. I cried again a year later when my daughter was born. I cried tears of joy when my beloved Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl 31 after three decades of mediocrity, and again when they won Super Bowl 45. The last time I cried was two years ago this April when my Mom passed away. March 30, 2018. Today is another day that I've sobbed like a baby. Upon waking up for work, I checked my phone like I always do. Waiting for me was a PayPal notification. A large one. I checked my Bricklink account, and it appears that some blessed soul has decided that they needed some Steam Rollers in their life. Yes, some Steam Rollers. All of them. 27 to be exact. Gone. Purchased by an unknown person. A risk taker. A gambler. A guardian angel, perhaps? I began this saga with over 50 of those Steam Rollers. I'd sell one here, one there through multiple platforms, slowly chipping away at that number. I whittled it down to 27. Now I have 0. They are gone. The purchase price was just a shade over $1k. I'll make a few bucks on each one after the usual fees and shipping, but that's not the point in this circumstance. The nightmare is finally over. March 30, 2018 is my Independance Day.

UPDATE! So I received a call from my insurance company the other day. The police arrested a guy for breaking & entering, and when they searched his property, they found "a lot of Lego sets". One detective was having lunch with my detective and casually mentioned the find, and he remembered my case from 2016 and they interrogated the suspect. He totally admitted meeting me on Craigslist, bought a few sets from me, and then came back to my warehouse to commit the robbery. He was able to back a cargo truck up to the loading door and spend several hours loading up. The replacement value at the time was $39k. I am so relieved they caught the guy, and now I'm waiting to hear from the police so I can go see what is left from the theft (they say there is A LOT). Next step will be to strike a deal with the insurance company to purchase everything back (at a salvage rate of course). They are willing to give me the right of refusal so I can recover all or some of it. I'll update once I see what is left and what we can work out. Just a reminder to everyone who can learn from my ignorance & innocence: never let anyone into the inner sanctum. Since the theft, we treat the warehouse like Willy Wonka's factory : no comes in, no one goes out. We even have a visual barrier separating the storeroom area from being seen by UPS and FedEx drivers. As far as Craigslist goes, I've only tried to sell a handful of larger items (new MF for example) with the stipulation that the transaction takes place at the local police department, and I haven't had a taker yet.

Finished 10257 Carousel yesterday. Nice build and displays so wonderfully. Noted one issue though, the frog build was a little awkward because the legs would react accordingly. The frog would "jump" up but when going back down the legs would slide back the it wouldn't function right afterwards. I ended up having to put a little sticky tac under the feet to keep them in place and that did the trick. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this one.

DD completed and added to the collection. Certainly not my favorite modular, but at least it was an enjoyable build.

A Dutch web-retailer lists it at €34,99. I'm not going to pay more than €20 for it.

My son and I started in on 70751 - Temple of Airjitsu today.
