Another good OfferUp find.

I walked over to Michaels. Online, it said all the Dots stuff was in stock. Turns out, it hadn't been set out yet, but they were willing to grab me two packets of spare Dots from the back. In each pack, I got 20 pink 1/4 tiles, 21 magenta, 21 lime, 21 teal, 21 sparkle blue circles, and 11 printed circles. I wonder why no love for the pink - no spares. Here's a photo of the distribution, and a photo of my first little doodle of making a pattern. The color is off in the photo - the magenta looks like dark red. I'm not fond of the crying faces or the rainbow poop, so if anyone wants to trade, let me know.

Here's my latest creation - given the awesomeness of the new UCS Hulkbuster set, I wanted to try to set up a nice backdrop that shows all of the Iron Man suits. So, I built this: I thought LED lights would be a nice touch, but I apologize ahead of time for the exposed wiring: Here are the suits up close. I have all of them (I think) except for the newest Mark 50 suit from Infinity Wars: Here's each "closet" up close (warning: the wires make the cheese slopes look angled, but I assure you they're straight): Enjoy!

I wanted to create a new thread in order to give progress on my site updates. I want explain a bit on what happened and what I am doing. What happened with the site? Honestly nothing really exciting or dramatic, overall in the end, I did not want to support the host I was with for the past four years after not really offering too much help with managed servers. They would spend 30 seconds looking, say they can ping the server so its up and then just say, "hey not my problem". I was on aging hardware, paying the same amount of money, so I took the opportunity to move to a new host with better/faster hardware and a staff that does help to support you when run into an issue that you can't handle on your own. I have been doing this a long time and pretty good monitoring and handling 99% of what comes my way, but there are issues that you need the next level up to help figure out what to do. I wasn't getting anything like that, but paying for it. Not anymore. What my goal is... I know more than anyone that the site needed some TLC. It's been a while since I have done any drastic updates, the site looked tired and I know the site can be so much better than what it's current state was. LEGO investing has changed since Ed and I launched the site and it's time to remove the dead content and bring more of what people are looking for. Below is the short term list of items planned for updating. I have been working on the nightly, just like the early days and enjoying seeing parts of it coming to life. Fix the login. This has been messed up and quirky for a while. This has been resolved and working well. It's a simple thing overall, but nice that it actually works how it's supposed to Overall price guide site design update. The site was tired and disjointed. I hated it and pained me to look at it. Time to start over. Brickfolio update. All the Brickfolio data is safe. I have close to three million rows of data for Brickfolio entries. Time to bring this thing to 2020. I will probably create another thread at some point to solicit some feedback on some new requests for the brickfolio Fix the data syncing with Brickset. A lot of people used this feature, but it's time to make it work the way it should. Later I will work on the content portions. The news and blogs. I have some good ideas for this, but want to get the price guide and brickfolio to you sooner than later. What I am asking for if possible... If you can, please stop asking where the brickfolio is. Again, the data is safe and I am working as fast as I can to bring it all back to you. It won't be a few days, but more like a few weeks, but it will be worth it. I setup my dev environment to push releases quick and easy. I want to create a true changelog so that you can follow updates to see what was done/fixed/new/removed, you know like what real software companies do. I really do appreciate your patience with this. It wasn't planned, but if there was going to be a time to do it, it was going to be now.

Called Lego customer service about a package that may have been damaged and on its way back. In it is a train GWP, so i asked if order could be reshipped as to not miss out on the gift. Understandably i was told its still in time window and to wait until 10th to recontact if status the same. interesting info to me was that was told there was a lot of GWP left and will be no problem having some left next week. Not sure what level of info CS really has about those things but just sharing the news I got.

Hidden Side Ghost Train $59.99 : https://www.target.com/p/lego-hidden-side-ghost-train-express-70424-augmented-reality-ar-toy-train-building-kit-697pc/-/A-75667055

Yes, but I bought a key chain to guarantee the train shipped immediately.

I personally like this. I was hoping for a D-O build to go with R2 and BB8 😊

Realizing that a set you last sold 4 years ago was never relisted (no wonder it wasn't selling) - That is a somewhat inevitable problem with having too many listings.

The ideas tree is not sold in just a single city... there are 2 different trees. Set # 4000026 is an exclusive that is only sold at Lego House. Set # 31318 is sold worldwide. The original article posted is saying that they are retiring 4000026 once it sells out.
