Not even close to how neat most of your modular buildings are, but my daughter and I built this out of multiple daily bugles that kept falling apart and are really proud of it

I finally pulled the trigger on a real nice used Benny's Spaceship with some extras on eBay and built it today. I've always wanted it, but was still in my dark ages when the original Lego Movie came out. Very fun build.

Built Jokerland with my 8 year old. I originally wanted to convert this over to my fairground, but think it will be better for Halloween Town, paired with some other sets (like the Hidden Side Rollercoaster)

Built this with my daughter for her 5th birthday today. Fun!

That's a weird message to send ... what are you trying to accomplish with that message? Either you ship to a 0 feedback new buyer or you don't. I see no reason why you shouldn't ship. Lots of people are looking for LEGO to build right now, and many are exploring EBay as Amazon has ridiculous shipping times right now. Better make their first experience a good one.

I’m locking the thread today. It’s Sunday. Let’s rest, let’s build. Let’s spend time with family. And most importantly, knock off the insults to one another. Brickpicker is literally the only online forum I participate in (leave comments). Because I genuinely enjoy talking LEGO with yuh guys. But the last 48 hours especially has turned into a mud-slinging fest and I’m not thrilled with it. It’s not my board, but the incel talk, never been kissed, and other insults need to stop. Y’all are killing the vibe.

Just got a FedEx shipping notice from Legoland Florida. There's hope, fellas!

Ask and ye shall receive: https://www.amazon.com/gp/promotion/A1LYYNMP2T3T51? Save $10 on $50 worth of select LEGO. Hopefully they'll rotate some better sets into the mix throughout.

76042 Helicarrier re-build finished this morning. I reverse bagged this one so the build was very smooth. I've always loved this set, and since it took me a while to find one at a good price that adds a bit of extra satisfaction each time I build it. This is one of the sets that they did a great job with, the proportions and details are very close to the shots in the movies in my opinion, and the interior bridge addition it excellent. Once I modified the minifigure stand to include all of the original Avengers, that was the final touch, although one of the front turret extensions looks to have fallen off during transport from my building area 🙃 On the cons, I wish they would have scrapped the turbine spinning feature and added more interior, perhaps a Hulk lab, bunk rooms, and hallways. And secondly, the upper/second level bridge needs work. That large translucent piece just doesn't look good with all the other small details. But overall an amazing set for me!

One of the best promos in a while.....AMZ BB is $59 right now....not bad for a freebie for spending $50!

I feel like I have noticed a few more 0 feedback (new) sellers than normal in the last couple of weeks. We have to remember, with 67 gazillion (more or less) people on this planet, we are going to see new buyers pop up all the time. That is a good thing...our audience is growing. If I received that message as a new buyer, I would be quite put off. You have to give them the benefit of the doubt that they are a straight forward decent human being...and then go from there.

42099 Technic 4x4 Crawler - $179.49 before tax and shipping ($10) at IWOOT after sale price and code 20LEGO (the math doesn’t work out as it is supposed to be 20% off but gives only 15% ). RRP $249.99

That dude just sold >$15k in lego in less than a week after not selling anything for 6 months. With the prices he posted I'm betting it's a scam. No feedback received for any of the recently sold sets. Either a scam or somebody needed cash quick. I hope it's the latter.

Gotcha - thanks.

Mine was going up for the first couple of weeks. Now that all the best sellers are gone, only the junk is left and that is hurting the overall sell through score. I finally bit the bullet and started doing some merchant fulfilled sales last week. It has been pretty insane and feels like a 2nd holiday season, but i'll be curious to see if it holds after Easter this weekend. I am now sourcing from toy distributors with the expectation that I will be merchant fulfilling anything within the next 30 days at least. It seems like Amazon is very slow to replenish their own stock of toys that are selling out right now and they are also giving the buy box to MF sellers that can fulfill faster than FBA.

my son and I are currently trying to pull all the pieces out of the "bin" to put this set back together.

Phil is right. Sending messages like those just do not make any sense. If a buyer pays for an item, you ship it. No need to send them crazy messages or assume they are trying to scam you. If it does happen later, then take the appropriate steps to deal with it at that time. Of course there are bad buyers out there, but most are good. Would you want a seller to treat you like that simply b/c you are a new buyer? Everyone had to start somewhere. You have to give people the benefit of the doubt until they show you otherwise.

The problem with this is: the buyer expects the set to ship. Not a whole story about everything you've done, and stressing things like "I have a no return policy". Anything but a message saying "Item will send on xxxx we appreciate your business" will only serve to set off red flags on the buyer's side. And if they are a scammer, they will scam you anyways, no matter what you send them in terms of pictures. Same for your "no returns" policy - EBay will force you to accept a return if the buyer (for valid or scammy reasons) decides to file a claim against you.

Thanks, I feel a lot more comfortable. I was too rash and quick to judge.

You can get a slightly better price at their sister site, Zavvi.com. IWOOT and Zavvi are owned by the same parent company, The Hut Group. Price at IWOOT with "20LEGO" Promo and $10 shipping (not figuring in tax) = $189.48 Price at Zavvi with "LEGO" Promo and $10 shipping (not figuring in tax) = $177.98. My order from Zavvi on Friday shipped out yesterday.

No cute Easter chicks and bunnies this year by Bricksom Parsom

Last year I bought 375 yellow castle. I had this set as a child and parts of it are still in my lego bin. But I wanted a complete set with box and instructions. I also bought 497 Galaxy Explorer. I had classic space sets as a kid but I don't think I had 497.

I found this gem a while ago, and finally had the pleasure of building it last week-end with my 9 y.o. The whole time, he (Yes, the one that is enamored with every new Ninjago set released) kept remarking "This is so cool!" I'm always amazed when building older sets both how short and terse the instructions are compared to modern sets, and how creative the designers were with a limited color palette and mostly simple brick shapes. As a kid, this set was the first I built that used Technic bricks. They work very nicely here, to model a support-beam industrial look. Back when this set was new, it and the Galaxy Explorer formed the core of Lego Space Command for my brother and me. Good times.

Complaining that Lego won't give it to you doesn't do you a whole lot of good because it simply highlights that you're not an authorized dealer for them. A better route is to argue that the certificate is what federal law requires Lego to issue to document compliance with the applicable safety standards and if that's good enough for the U.S. government, it should be good enough for Amazon.

Here is my Battle of Hoth scene that incorporates sets 8129 (AT-AT Walker), 75049 (Snowspeeder), 75014 (Battle of Hoth), 75138 (Hoth Attack) and a laser cannon from set 75259 (Snowspeeder – 20th Anniversary Edition) on three white base plates. The background pictures were my son’s idea and are much better idea than the plain white background I originally had. The reflection off the glass doors makes it difficult to get a really good overall picture, hence the close-up shots. Being at home all the time does have its advantages after I get done teleworking, more family time and more building opportunities. Since this is technically not a MOC since I did not modify any of the sets, I am posting it here.

My 7 year old built these w/in the last week. Special thanks to [mention]Ed Mack [/mention] for the friends set.

My daughter and I did a little building today.

We finished the UCS Blockade Runner on Sunday. Man...what a beast of a set. Beautiful. Up next to build from the lot: UCS Death Star II, which was missing 4 pieces. @Huskers1236 I went with Vinyl aftermarket after seeing the shape the original stickers were in (as you can see in the pics) and reading online. They aren’t here yet, and it will be my first experience with aftermarket stickers.

Mine has dropped about 8pts each week, including this morning.
