Some sets have shown up. https://brickset.com/article/37282

The random raffle results are out! Did anyone have any success? I got Uni Kitty and Black Lightning, but alas... no deadpool

Here is a better pic I took with a Macro Lens.... the pattern is the same, there are imperfections / differences in the applied Ink , thinner % on each. These are test to set up the pad printers.... PS The original pictures I shared were not mine..

+ Got busy together and made that Lego Movie 2 set.

Materials guide for LEGO selling & shipping Many members have asked for a centralized place where they can go for shipping box information. I'm going to pin this post and update it as new information is provided. I just want to take a few minutes and thank those who wrote the following articles. They are still very good reference materials for the LEGO storage and shipping process. I may develop this into a blog article eventually.

For battle packs and even small sets, I sometimes use Wal-Mart, Target, or plastic bags from any store. Additional packing isn 't really needed. Usually like 2 bags on bottom, one to wrap the item, and two bags on top. Make sure to cover the corners of the item real nice to provide extra padding. Rule of thumb : ship & pack all of your items the same way you 'd like to receive items you've purchased.

What was once cuddly looking is now haunting my dreams.

Looks surprisingly like my little kitty after this morning's attempted bath following last night's skunk encounter :-)

Head over here to read up: For larger boxes from local suppliers you can use: Lowes, Homedepot, UHAUL and Staples. I use Staples.com for my smaller box sizes as I find their prices can't be beat. (free shipping to store) ULINE has great high quality boxes, but are often cost prohibitive when compared to local options.

Starting to think you have an X that works for the postal service.

Thanks, you'd think I'd know this already, being close friends with Bezos and all.

More a trade than a purchase but bought out most of another local Bricklink store in trade for a sealed 10221 SSD and a couple needed minifigures. Was a win-win as I got around $1200 in new figures/sets and he got a set that he wanted as well as clearing inventory. I was glad to move the SSD to a local instead of selling on ebay/bricklink as well. Had a $330 buy-in on it as well.

Perhaps to dash the hopes that we'll be getting the tank pictured above.

Zero feedback for sales, one image of a booklet, one image of bubble wrapped mystery, and two stock photos. If you are lucky it will be bogus bricks. I can’t imagine how much trouble this is going to be for you to repack and return to Canada once you file SNAD. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

I wouldn’t be surprised if people are looking at it from an investor-perspective. I’m an AFOL, so I have a love of the brick. [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

I can't tell if I'm the weirdo, or what, but I thought these were kinda neat. Yet the vast majority of responses once again, are complaints, objections, and negative comments. Is it just that negative reactions are more eager to post? Is it that collector communities are just super jaded? Why is everything always LAME? Why is everything too hard to get, too expensive, too small, too whatever. Am I alone in getting kinda bummed out that every discussion topic feels oppressively negative? Is it because this is a Lego investing site instead of a lego appreciation site? Seriously asking, i'm totally willing to be told, i'm the weirdo.

This model obviously has some of the car's functions, which warranted some compromise on design. The bumper is sticking out to hide the license plate mechanism: if you look closely, the license late is on an axle. The machine guns are likely hidden under the hood, and given the construction of the roof the ejector seat is working. So this model has to be evaluated differently from the other Expert vehicles because they do not have any functions. If everything works as intended, this is a great set.

There are some areas where I wish it were possible to transition smoother but making subtle curves with LEGO is tricky business and we all know that. Anyhow I am certain Aston Martin had a say in the design process considering it is their automobile. If anybody can do better I would gladly see it.

Maybe we should drop the rumoured part of the title by now...

And I'm starting to think too many people think this stuff is worth more than gold... but without the understanding of how to pack it. Wrapped it in black plastic and slapped a label on it. I'm also positive that my post office must be full of rabid hyenas. Found this on my doorstep yesterday. Thankfully the seller refunded immediately and asked for a few more pictures as he purchased postal insurance.

And the rich get richer. eBay auto refunded me when the item was marked as delivered, and the message came in just a few moments after the transaction went through. ^^ I bet the FBI can check the DNA. I wonder if his daddy gets a shipping discount?

Yeah, but this time they’ll be profitable.

We are getting close. This is a new one... the box literally was soaked in coffee. It was dry by the time it made it to me, and thankfully the seller wrapped the item on the inside of the box as well so it arrived in fine shape. Due to the label being printed at the post office, and the label being soaked, it happened in transit by a wonderful USPS employee.
