The show is fun, it doesn't need to be (or try to be) anything more than that - stop being snobs.

And just imagine if the "Destroy your LEGO" idea catches on.

It's hard to make a show that is all things to all people. My boys are 8, 10 and 12 and they have loved the first couple of episodes. They got all of their lego bins out and have been building MOCs over the past couple of weeks. The show fires up their creative juices & makes them want to build (and has done the same for me after having burnt out a bit over the past few years), so in that sense I feel like they are accomplishing their goal.

I picked up a bulk lot of Harry Potter sets - including 10217 - so this was my Sunday build. I love this set, always a pleasure to build. This one is in very nice condition too.

I finally got a chance to watch the first two episodes and think they are doing a great job. It's fun, I like seeing what the people come up with and overall I think most of the contestants are entertaining enough to watch (I ignore the drama garbage on any of these shows). This show is not about tutorials and building techniques, there is no time for that. If anything, they would include that on a website or a YouTube clip. None of these competition shows show you the proper way to design with sugar or properly sand something. The host is fun, that stage is awesome and I think they people from LEGO offer good advice. Everyone gets something different out of it, I am looking forward to the next show.

Jan, Feb were once my favorite months (not crazy like christmas, but solid). Last year in particular didn't perform as expected, but interest has picked up this year (I noticed this prior to the show airing, but the show certainly should help). I think that the last SW movie/Mandalorian series/upcoming Clone Wars has been helping out.

My boys are doing the same thing! They are planning out a new SW MOC. The show got their creative juices flowing again also and I think that is the best thing for the resellers. The show may not do much for some people, but I think it's going to do a lot for us in the business (at least temporarily)..... And I tend to agree with josephmali, I feel like I'm moving more LEGO than normal for this time of year....could be the tax returns also....

sold my last Minecraft The Wither 21126 for $199.99 fba. buyin was $19. only 2 sellers left on the listing .

Metallica....lol...Great machine that the game play is as much fun today as it was when I bought it.

Farnsworth House from a used lot... not my most careful build since I was just checking for completeness. Oddly it was missing one 6x10 plate of all things so I had to replace with the wrong color while I order one. Nice looking set but boring repetitive build.

I hadn't put 2 and 2 together, but this is probably why my Jedi / Clone Trooper Battle Packs have suddenly started moving.

For me, I had a feeling the show would turn out the way it has. I don’t think it has to do with being a Lego elitist and not getting what I want from a program about Lego competition. My problem really is FOX. Same goes for most other networks that try to present reality competition. Some get it right the way I enjoy to watch and continue to watch. Then there are those that adhere to their audience which might not be me...fine if they get people to watch but not for me. Then there’s FOX. They have consistently shown that they have a complete lack of inspired or original thought. They rely on the formula and only add a new ingredient to see if it works. Granted, I won’t deny they have had success doing this. But I’ve never been a fan of American Idol, masked singer, and whatever. Now that they’ve taken an element that I enjoy and brought it down to their level...that hurts. I’ll watch because I’m hoping for the best but in the end I’m just expecting more FOX.

Anyone else have sales spike a little once the show started. Selling more in Feb than in Dec right now on Amazon. Weird. I don't know if it has to do with the show, but it is one of my guesses. Overall, I don't like the show since it really is about reality TV and not Lego. But I will probably keep watching.

Then you've never seen the Great British Baking Show on Netflix. I learn something new with every baker they show, and not only about their personal lives. Watched some episodes last night and only wished they made LEGO Masters more like that show. Each builder giving a 30 sec blurb about how they constructed a specific part of their build. A little background on how to do SNOT, or how to reinforce a construction, or on how to gear down your bumper cars .... Sigh. BINGO. I would MUCH prefer a layout like GBBS. Imagine 12 separate builders who have to construct 2 smaller builds on day 1 and a larger one on day 2. Lets call them: 1:Theme Challenge: Prepared (build a display with preset limitations but knowing the theme for the weekend) 2: Theme Challenge: Surprise/Limited item build based on preset criteria, mystery to judges who made the design) 3 Theme Challenge: Little to no restrictions on outcome, all-day build. Then they could throw in random building partners with other team mates and have them switch up. I think we all know who the final 3 teams will be for this season. Those builders are just a step above everyone else that it's too predictable. Having it set-up like GBBS would allow a larger pool of similarly talented builders that are forced to work with other builders they may have never cooperated with. THAT would be the only drama needed.

Cad Bane episodes are some of my favorites.

Welcome to the site. Nice set. Really old sets like these Classic Space sets are all over the place in value. Some have sold for big money, while others don't get much love. These sets need an emotional connection to be worth something. Unfortunately, age doesn't always mean more valuable with LEGO sets. Our price guide is temporarily down. It will be up shortly.

Totally forgot I had already built the pond! So here’s a pic of the two of them together.

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/chinese-new-year-temple-fair-80105 It's now available for back order at lego shop a home.

The Newlyweds' (Tyler and Amy) - I was also very impressed with their green alien, not just the build itself but their forethought into having that explosive fall into the alien mouth. I had somewhat pre-judged them the first episode in their ability to work together but they really turned it around this time. The Eccentrics (Sam & Jessica) - I don't get these two and part of me feels like it's just an act. I kind of want to go back and watch the show again and see how they edited it because I feel like they must argue with each other early on to get screen time and drama, but yet they still put together a decent looking cat in the end. Definitely eccentric though, I won't mind when they leave just on that account. Clark Kent & Superman (Christian & Aaron) - There is definite talent here but man those guys are cocky. So funny when the two people cheering on how their set got destroyed was essentially themselves. I mean, hey you need to sell it, better than saying "ooh that didn't work"... let the judges decide. So I get that part but still, we've got over-confident "Lego Instructor" and ginormous Army Sergeant. Interesting team. Married Thespians (Flynn & Richard) - I could care less about their "lifestyle", though I was concerned in the beginning that the producers would emphasize it way too much and I'm pleased that so far it's been rather subtle. Funny seeing the opposites attract thing going on, the nervous stressed out one with the calm level-headed one. Brothers Who Brick (Travis & Corey) - These guys are interesting because so far their builds have been rather "bricky" and "blocky". Not that everything has to be smooth and polished but that type of thing might be required down the road so I'll be interested to see how they adapt. East Coast Brickers (Mel & Jermaine) and The Unicorns (Krystle & Amie) - Neither of these teams have gotten much screen time and are somewhat under the radar. If they don't differentiate or stand out in some way I don't see them sticking around long. Father & Son BFFS (Manny & Nester) - These two are funny to watch interact and listen to. Like others, they somewhat have 'hobby-level' talent but I don't see them lasting long. The Bearded Buiders (Boone & Mark) - These guys are smart, fun, and to me have seemed to be very versatile. The challenge could change, and so do the requirements, but they still tend to bring a polished end product and I think that's one of their advantages is their adaptability. Only 2 episodes in though, so we'll see. Higher the Hair, Closer to God (Jessie & Kara) - Glad to see them go. Between episode 1 & 2 they didn't present that much Lego-building talent. I'm sure their over-the-top personalities and facial expressions got them on the show. Next...

I watched it with my two kids age 4 and 6. They loved the builds, but kept asking "Why is that man wearing a dress" and "why does he have a bow in his hair." Frankly, I'm not ready for these kind of conversations...

Finally get to be 'that guy' to post a great find! (from Facebook Marketplace last night). 20+ Star Wars sets including UCS Imperial Star Destroyer 10030, Rebel Blockade Runner 10019, Death Star II 10143, At-At 4483, Republic Gunship 7163, Sandcrawler 10144, Jango Fett's Slave 7153, Clone Turbo Tank 7261, and several other cool sets. All Mini-figures and instructions included, but no boxes. Paid $300. Last year I bought zero Lego sets of off FB and in 2020 I already have this and a UCS Falcon under my belt. Ha!

You know your local Lego store loves you when you go in to buy something and they say " Hey....we are recycling these but you can have them if you want " and they give you 6 cases of the Hidden Side juice bar promos. I did end up buying the new Chinese themed sets.
