This was a really fun build. The instructions are split up nicely. Even though some parts of the build are a bit repetitive those moments go by quickly and something new and novel gets built. $199 would have been great but I still think this is worth the $229 I paid. You do need to connect Mario to your phone at least once to update his software to allow him to understand the scan code on the TV. If you don't, his stomach displays a cell phone on it with the bluetooth symbol. Without updating, he'll response to the various colors as you cycle through the screen but interprets them as land and water etc instead of playing the right sounds that sync with what's on the TV. I love the TV build. Even without function its just so retro it's great.

You're not alone in this...

I hate birds...

if u sell on amazon fbm and have your handling time set to 1 day , you might want to recheck your settings. i noticed my orders had dropped in the last 3 days without any good reason i could see. then looking at my listing under a few sets i see it has that my shipping date is 5 days from now. wtf. all my listings had my handling time set to 5 days instead of 1 where it has been since april. i am a poop magnet so ymmv.

Quick update on this mysterious Late Delivery FBA refunds that amazon refused to reimburse even when the buyer never returned the item from a month or two back. . Sent "Jeff" an email with all the order numbers asking for clarification and reimbursement on three orders. Took a couple of weeks to get a reply but they did reimburse me on all three orders however they never explained why that happened.

This better not make me regret not getting Ninjago City even more than I already do.

I take it you are married ?

Harrison Ford interviewed by Conan:

Finally finished Ewok Village to prep it to sell after getting my last bricklink order. This was a really fun build. It was cool seeing the trees come together. Even though there are several trunks, it never felt repetitive at all. The finished set looks great too. It's a shame the previous owner wrote on a couple of the covers and pages in the manual.

Watched that before. Has such a sense of humour.

I've been divorced for 30 years. I said that I had been wrong twice, but I never make the same mistake twice.

This is part of my hubby's arsenal from when we went shooting last weekend. His pride and joy is the full auto MG 42. That thing has a kick!

Project Andersa

Most people aren't aware the 2 months ago I had a pretty serious stroke. Im only 45 and in good shape. Ends up I had a 13mm hole in my heart so it was only a matter of time. So since I have 6months off of work and with all the crazy stuff going on in the world I figured it was good therapy to get back to building. So this is the first think I have built. Turned out ok. Will be starting on Dr.Stranges house tomorrow.

I feel like we need a "What horrified me today" thread. I'd place these two new christmas figures there.

I've actually had one of those haha. I had a "hot tooth" that they couldn't get to go numb. I had a dental assistant standing over my head who had me in a headlock so I wouldn't move and my jaw clamped open while the dentist drilled. Worst pain I've ever felt, and I have passed 3 kidney stones.
