I couple more pics popped up. Look legit.

Foreigners do their dates all funny-like.

I think there should be a warning / sticky just to remind people to please not to take investment advice from a random people on the Internet, as most people only talk about the wins and never the losses. Need to remember that technically can't give out investment advice unless you are regulated (FCA in UK). I've seen too many horror stories of people going all in on a single stock / share just because they heard of the "mad gainz" from someone on FB / insta etc. Keep it slow and steady, have a emergency fund of 3 to 6 months savings, invest only what you can afford to lose, and if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

expect to see that on Ebay by tonight

This is the way I store all files. Then I force everyone I work with to do the same thing. They all resist at first but eventually, they see the light. lol

minecraft zombie cave - widespread restocking instore at walmart. $16.82.

For the record, the correct way to do dates is yyyymmdd, because that sorts the same chronologically as well as alphabetically.

one more of these and I'll have enough to build an arena to fight @BrickLegacy for his 10188s

My 4 year old nephew asked for a LEGO Wayza Quest this Christmas. I told him I would sell one of mine for the bargain price of $250 cash because he was family. In other news, LEGO Shop at Home restocked some good Friends & HP sets that were unavailable for most of holiday GWP season.

The senate has finally taken the senate

I tried to not comment on it, but this annoys me and was therapeutic to post. So be it, when it gets deleted. Edit to add: I've missed out on US deals for 10 months and I'm bitter.

Scammer trying to use your picture to "sell" on Craiglist / Facebook ?

Elvendale 2 Panoramic by Stilly Bricks

DIS, F, MGM, BAC, GLW all purchased in March/April of last year. New money goes to F, KIM and CMA on a quarterly basis in the second half of the year. Starting to look for Dividend pays with KIM and CMA while F is a long term purchase I add to occasionally with believe that the div will be restored. This is me - your investment needs and strategy are different and this is play around cash. My bigger money (retirement) is in target aged funds and index mutual funds and I do not touch those funds for individual stock purchase. I am fifty plus so I am starting to look at retirement 10 to 12 years from now. I am starting to look for div pays of solid stocks I know that pay 3% plus because I want that to supplement retirement income in a decade plus. I work with an advisor on my Mom's portfolio and steal some ideas from them for me. I work for an S and P 500 listed company and get regular stock purchases and allocations so I make sure i pull those funds when they mature and invest in other things to diversify. My employer is a tech company and represents 30-40% of my net wealth in a single stock. This is why my individual stocks listed are not tech stocks. My exposure is way too high to tech between my employer and index funds so my strategy is to put cash in other sectors. As I said, my strategy is based on my needs.,

Fixed it for you.

but it hasn't been political...most of what we're seeing now is due to loyalty to an in individual. politics I understand...blind loyalty to THIS guy...I just can't fathom it

Note: Invest at your own risk. Do you own homework before buying / selling. Don’t assume advice posted here is financially sound. Wanted to create an investment thread about stocks and how market conditions can impact those investments. Thought about creating one in 2020 but with COVID & other items going on, I didn’t. Instead, I posted in a similar thread on another non-investing web site. Posts can include topics relating to individual securities : stocks, bonds, options, indices, & ETFs. Sharing informative links encourage. Please DON’T get political or posts will be removed.

Right, the correct way to do dates; from smallest to largest

Must have been a Dorothy & Toto CMF .... at least they’re not in Kansas anymore ....

Those minifigures look great!

When (what seems like quite a few) posts get deleted, but I can still read the “my bad, shouldn’t have gone there” posts.

Honestly, I think it's just a joke posting by various ding a lings on ebay, they are getting taken down pretty quickly after going up.

Commiting crimes and posting them on social media. Yup, These people are as smart as advertised.

Looks like he deleted that one and set up a new acct...even has his picture from above I'd want law enforcement to arrest and prosecute this guy...but dammit he looks like a nice friendly guy

Eh, it's current events. I personally see myself as neutral of this situation, and really wish people would act with a certain amount of respect towards others, REGARDLESS of political affiliation. I realize it requires a certain amount of EQ, but I'm hopeful calm will persevere eventually.

Christmas Tree by Stilly Bricks

I think what some people fail to get is that end of the day Lego is a business. I'm sure the designers would love to create 5000+ piece MOC's using rare colours / moulds etc, but from a business and logistical standpointbthis isn't possible. The bean counters will impose a max set price / piece count / new parts and colours etc / impact of production upon other sets. I still think its amazing that lego even offers an Ideas platform, and that people have a chance to say their idea is now available to buy at every lego shop in the world.

I would like to mention ARK ETF as a relative safe but aggressive option.

I can't recall the precise %, but I think that would cover about 80% (guessing from my memory). The builder did try to use as many of the same parts as possible, but I don't know if that makes opening the second one worthwhile.

This is a new one. 0 feedback buyer sent me the following message on a $169 listing I parked high when others sell for around $100. Already blocked him.

I seldom do day 1 purchases for myself but I think I will succumb to this one. Both kiddo and I are huge castle fans. We were a little disappointed by the original model vs this but it looks OK at the end of the day. I've got two of those in storage, maybe it's time to pop the seals..

One, two, three, four, what we need is a cheese slope war!

Fireworks by ArtbyPuhang

Oooh, I'm surprised we didn't have one. I recommend investing in S&P 500 Index Funds this coming year. I've had one for the past year and it's grown decently. In 10 years, it should be even better.

$299 USD in the new lego catalog. So same price as City but almost 1K more pieces in the garden.

I've been getting them that way all season. Mostly singles, but batches too.

Seems like this set will become more popular...

Hogwarts from Lego came double boxed , same for HHs from Amazon

we all know he's going to be the biggest villian for the next decade C'mon, 9 movies, 7 seasons of cartoons were devoted to the rise, fall, rise again, and redemption and grandkids of Darth Vader...Disney knows great shows are all about the villians

Cyclone BC by Matt Mazian

While I'll agree the quality of submissions isnt what it once was, I also think AFOL's have a hard time creating sets that arent the whole kitchen sink.

LEGO Ideas fans: We'll gladly pay $150 - $200 for this Ideas' submission. LEGO designers: I don't know. I feel like we need to add more color, make it smaller, oh and throw in a small Bonsai looking tree - those are popular right now. If this is what we end up with, it reminds me of what LEGO did to the Flintstone submission. I hope this isn't the way LEGO is going with all future Ideas submissions.
