  1. Pieced these together from a $40 lot. Surprisingly, there were not many missing pieces. As far as I can tell, there is still one 3368 can be built from the lot and a couple of small Star Wars sets. A couple of castle figs were also found including the king and two armored horses.

  3. I have somewhat of a review after playing with this (the Starter pack) with my 7-year-old daughter. First of all, straight from her, I asked what she likes about the set, or this 'system'. She said she likes how you can make new challenging levels, you can put the different pieces in whatever places you like, and you get to connect it to your phone or iPad. Kind of generic feedback, but she's also 7. She's one that likes to customize everything in her life so I'm not surprised she likes the power in her hands of making her own levels. She also liked using the iPad for the instructions. I did not like it very much because I felt I was 'faster' than the iPad. I like how in regular instructions I can see about 4 steps in advance (4-up on the page). iPad forces me one page at a time and that slowed me down unnecessarily. Kind of like fixing something that wasn't broken. Regarding gameplay, we challenged each other on who could get the most coins. The fun part is deciding where to allocate your time. Some activities may give you a big 10 coin jackpot and then just give you one at a time, infrequently, for a while. Others give you a higher/faster rate of coins but one at a time. The bigger the set you build the less time you have (it still stays at 60 seconds regardless how many sets you buy). Some of the fun came from saying "I made this level, now you try it". So it's fun individually but playing with a partner is more fun. I don't let her use the cloud on a stick anymore... You're suppose to attach Mario and 'fly' him through the air collecting individual coins but she has one too many times attached him too loosely and Mario has fallen to the wood floor from 3 or 4 feet. That was enough of that, however he has survived any damage from drops. I will say it was much more engaging with the iPad. Yes Mario can funnction on his own and yes he'll show you how many coins you got at the end. That is truly the essence of the game (how many coins can you get before time runs out). Mario only shows you how many coins you got, the iPad goes back and tells the story. It tells you who you stomped on, in what order, and how many coins each were worth before giving your total. After playing WITH the iPad, going back to Mario-only feels very bland and edging towards boring. Somehow hearing the story of what you've done is as rewarding as knowing the total number of coins earned. More iPad feedback. When you buy sets, you can scan them in and your digital Mario "world" grows. So as I scanned in each of the character packs I bought (finally got her all 10), each got an island themed in proper decor (desert, water, etc.). Other than the character packs (which actually are a cheap way to get extra baddies), we only have the starter pack, but my daughter likes growing her digital world quite a bit in addition to rearranging the real-world set. Quality is good but the icons on the two buttons on Mario's back are starting to wear away and it doesn't seem like we've played it that much. Luckily there's only two buttons but still. Overall, I do not plan on buying all of the sets. I might get one or two more of the cheaper sets. Since the amount of time allotted per game remains fixed at 60 seconds, why buy the big Bowser set for $99 other than the fact that it looks cool? My opinion is that the starter set with a few more pieces is sufficient to fill 60 seconds of time. There is no leveling operation, i.e. no level 2, so each 60 stands alone as its own 60 seconds of game play. When she's done having her fun with this set I'll put Mario back on top of my NES and I'll re-collect back the character pack figures, and the rest will go in the generic bin of Lego pieces for future play in normal Lego fashion.

  4. Shipping isn't going to be cheaper next week, or next year. Slower delivery time doesn't affect you, the seller. Your "time" value does not change at all with that variable from week to week. If this is your living, or a large part of it, there is much more "time" value in selling and re-investing quickly. Inventory space and lack of sales = no money

  5. It reminds me of the Brick Bank that suddenly started disappearing. I will buy some diners to be sure. I know this one is a winner as it is the one my wife wanted to build first during the COVID lockdown. Gateway set to a happy marriage of Lego building

  6. Selling some of my personal sets I have had in storage. Built this yesterday, took some pics, tore it down today. Removing the floor tiles is a killer on the fingernails. I really like the set but I just have too many. Going to sell down some of the modulars & focus on a theme park. There are finally enough carnival sets to do a nice one. Won't abandon Simpsons entirely, kwik-e is staying.

  7. I got the same. Often, when there are boxes on my porch, I won't remember what I ordered until I open them. If something shows up from this, it truly will be a surprise as to what would be inside the box. I'm hoping this isn't a "Seven" situation.

  8. I stopped cataloging the auctions. I'm guessing the avg is still around 650-800 pre ship.

  10. 329 live 969 sold I'm guessing most of them have been delivered by now so I'm a little shocked the quantity of live items isn't higher of course this doesn't account for those with multiple items in a buy it now option, nor the amount on Amazon. Most sale prices this past 24 hours have been 88-95 shipped. This hasnt dipped in price like I thought it would upon delivery week. 95 shipped appears to be the new floor.

  13. Almost there. Already envision a couple of simple mods to make the cockpit better for The Child. Too bad that area isn’t a tad more spacious.

  18. Can’t wait to get started on the 75292 Razor Crest set. It arrived yesterday from amazon. Nine #’d bags and 1 loose cockpit printed element. Honesty, it’s the last LEGO set in a LONG time that I really, really anticipated building. The last ones w/ this level of excitement were probably the UCS Sandcrawler, Monster Fighters Haunted House, & Indiana Jones sets

  19. I'd have to sell for $103.04 and keep shipping at $8.15 or less (free for buyer) to exactly double my $40.65 buy-in. That was after red card discount and 7% tax. So my $86.99 sale with free shipping that cost $8.15 to ship got me $26.67 in profit (about 66%) after fees.

  20. 263 live 766 sold last day sold prices appear to average around 90-95 shipped A few auctions started to close with mixed results, some as low as 75, some as high as 110. 89 shipped is the current BIN floor. many will appear in mailboxes this week, so let's see if that floor holds.

  22. Last week I had my first major score on Facebook Marketplace. I got all this stuff for $50. Very little in the way of instruction booklets for the Lego, (sadly no Saturn V manual) But the Villa Savoy was a happy surprise when I found it under the rocket when I got home as I'm a big Le Corbusier fan.
