https://smile.amazon.com/LEGO-Creator-Expert-Gingerbread-Building/dp/B07WM9S3V7/ Gingerbread house limit 20 Every one I have gotten from target and amazon have been week 50 2020 so curious to see these.

Finished up this bad boy last night. I’m loving the older builds/colors lately. Starting to notice what many have stated before, how the little parts in newer sets have become excessive.

I was wondering when the rafflestakes would happen and I hope for a good turnout while we all support a worthy cause. Obligatory sassy comment: A prize should have been access to that winner's brickfolio for a day. :-) Good luck to all and start procrastinating, because that's what we do.

Bought a NIB 21308 Adventure Time last week on eBay, it arrived today. I completely ignored this set (including the sales) when it was available. But my 8 year old just recently got into Adventure Time (and me, along with him). I showed this to him, and it was instant love. His birthday is this month, so this will be a nice surprise for him.

Short-time lurker, likely not going to post much, but I figured I'd let you all know that I received my Octan coin today (the benefits of living less than three hours away from a LEGO warehouse) and either I got lucky, or the quality is MUCH better. No residue in between the glass, the coin is facing as straight up as it can get and the paint job is excellent. Since it's hand painted it's not completely flawless, but you have to peer really closely at it in order to spot the flaws. Long story short, if this was the quality of all five coins, I would be very pleased.

Hello BrickPickers and LEGO fans from around the world...What a crazy year! Covid and record high LEGO sales and prices made for an interesting year to say the least. Feels like yesterday I was putting the 2020 Brickpicker LEGO raffle together for my son Max's school, St. Paul School in Burlington, NJ. He is eleven years old now and we started this way back when he was in kindergarten. The last five raffles... 2016 BRICKPICKER LEGO RAFFLE 2017 BRICKPICKER LEGO RAFFLE 2018 BRICKPICKER LEGO RAFFLE 2019 BRICKPICKER LEGO RAFFLE 2020 BRICKPICKER LEGO RAFFLE ...have been extremely successful and I am hoping for more generosity and kind souls to take part in this year's version. Over the past five years, we raised over $200,000.00 for the school, which goes directly to the school and helps pay teacher salaries, utility bills, etc...Another year has passed and it’s time to raffle off some more dynamic LEGO gifts for charity. The money we raised the last five years literally kept the school open...which is a great thing. It's a special school that once again was voted BEST or ONE of the BEST Private Schools (6 years in a row) in Burlington County, NJ, by The Burlington County Times. Along with the whole school being voted either BEST or One of the Best, St. Paul School and its faculty also won numerous other awards, such as: Best or One of the Best Private Schools Best PreK-Nursery School Best or One of the Best Teacher(s) Best Fundraiser Best or One of the Best Music Instruction Best Tutor Service (Junior National Honor Society) Best SAT/ACT Preparation Service CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE 2021 BRICKPICKER LEGO SWEEPSTAKES FOR ST. PAUL SCHOOL! As I stated (over and over again) the last five years, St. Paul School (SPS) and its community are special. My son loves the school, even though he won't admit it. Most days he actually runs into the school. People from all races and religions attend St. Paul School. Besides excelling in educating the children, the school does a tremendous amount of charity for local people in need. From food drives to helping out at local retirement homes, the children of St. Paul School are required to perform “service hours” that are designed to teach generosity, altruism and instill a hard-working, disciplined attitude. Excellence is expected and permeates through St. Paul School and the faculty and student body, so does a sense of goodness and frugalness. We make a little money go a long way. For example: All grade levels (Pre – K through 4) are scheduled for “Specials” each week...such as art, music, library, computers, and physical education St. Paul School is nationally accredited by “AdvancED” (the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement – NCA – CASI.) SPS middle-school students have three periods of Spanish and are testing into Spanish II for High School. SPS provides more periods of physical education each week than is required by the State. SPS provides multiple extracurricular activities such as: LEGO Robotics Club, Science Club, Vocal Choir, Rosary Group, Tonal Chimes, Hand Bell Choir, Crafty Kids Club, Basketball (Boys/Girls), Indoor Soccer, Cheerleading, Yearbook Club, National Junior Honor Society (NJHS), Student Council, MATHCounts, STREAM (Science Technology Religion Engineering Art Math, Activity Tutorial Period (ATP for 5th-8th grades) But all is not wonderful though. As many of you know, many Catholic schools have a hard time making ends meet. Enrollments are down and many families do not have the extra money to spend on a private education. Two neighboring Catholic schools in Willingboro and Maple Shade closed their doors this year. In person fundraising has been reduced drastically because of social distancing restrictions. Even superb schools like St. Paul School has a hard time keeping the doors open, but unlike many public schools, St. Paul has been OPEN FULL TIME since September. While it’s been difficult, the wonderful SPS faculty and staff has kept the kids safe and in a great learning and social environment. But it has bee very difficult fundraising with social distancing protocols in place. Many traditional fundraisers have been shelved, so the Brickpicker LEGO Sweepstakes is even more important this year. While our enrollment has stabilized, we will still be way short of breaking even; thus the need for the 2021 BRICKPICKER LEGO SWEEPSTAKES. This year’s version of the LEGO raffle will start with FIFTEEN awesome prizes! These include: 2021 BRICKPICKER LEGO Sweepstakes to Keep St. Paul School Strong!

Once again, this year’s total prize value equals or exceeds the previous five year's total prize value. The last five years, we had 51 raffle prizes and winners from around the world. From Vancouver, Canada to Reno, Nevada to Miami Beach, Florida to the Isle of Man, United Kingdom and everywhere in between, generous raffle participants were rewarded with awesome LEGO prizes. I wish we had some winners in New Jersey so I can hand deliver the sets...maybe this year! We even had repeat winners! The 2021 BRICKPICKER LEGO SWEEPSTAKES can be found here on the secure Rally.up.com site: CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE 2021 BRICKPICKER LEGO SWEEPSTAKES FOR ST. PAUL SCHOOL! Like the last five years, we will ship most of the prizes to anywhere across the globe. Two of the large lot prizes (SPS Mystery LOTS #1 and #2) are so large I can only ship them to United States customers who live in the contiguous 48 states due to shipping costs. If there is an issue with shipping or prizes, a comparable prize and/or shipping method will be arranged with the winner. The last four years, the LEGO BRICKPICKER RAFFLES worked very well. The Rallyup.com site is a first class, secure site that made this all possible. They also issued the school a big fat check(s). All raffle proceeds and donations benefit the school directly by bridging the gap between what tuition covers and actual educational costs. It also raises money to upgrade the school’s technology, keeping St. Paul School ahead of the academic curve with a dynamic curriculum. The prizes have been donated by Jeff and I, the St. Paul School PTA and by some very generous BrickPicker members. I am hoping, like last year, that more people will donate sets after the raffle begins. It was fun adding to the prizes last year. You never know what can pop up as a prize! I AM ALWAYS ADDING NEW SETS!!! On a personal note, once again, I would like to thank every person who donated sets/money and/or bought tickets to last five LEGO BRICKPICKER RAFFLES. It helped save a wonderful school and kept dozens of people employed and 175 kids with their friends and teachers. I don’t like asking but will anyway...please help out again this year. Even buying one ticket can help, and it gives you a chance to win some great prizes. Watching the raffle ticket total rise every day was an intense rush and extremely gratifying experience. It made me so proud to have started this site with my brother Jeff and made me realize there is still good in this world. I know some people do not approve of donating to faith- based schools or charities. I respect that, but also please respect my beliefs. This is not about religion. This is about helping a great school remain open and kids in their school and teachers in their jobs. Please keep negative comments to yourself. Thank you... ***If you haven’t already noticed, we have changed the term “RAFFLE” to “SWEEPSTAKES.” The structure of this year's "sweepstakes" is similar to last year's raffle, with the exception that a person cannot buy entries/tickets/donations for a specific prize. Due to changes in New Jersey online gaming laws in late 2020, online raffles are no longer allowed. It would appear that online scammers and thieves were using the pandemic as a way to run fraudulent raffles; thus, honest, charitable causes have been hurt. Rallyup.com has developed the "sweepstakes" system to replace the raffle in states that do not allow such online gaming. People can buy entries/tickets/donations to win the prizes. They can also send in for a free voucher to Rallyup.com and mail in the voucher to be entered in the sweepstakes. One entry/ticket/donation can win any prize. People can win multiple prizes. The basic $10.00 entry/ticket/donation can win 10 separate prizes! There are multiple entry/ticket price/amount combinations. The more entries/tickets you buy, the cheaper the entries/tickets/donations. The more entries/tickets/donations that you have, the better chance you have to win. The entry/ticket fees/donations will go directly to St. Paul School. Remember, the school will receive ZERO donations if you choose the mail-in method. Mail-in vouchers must be received and processed by Rallyup.com before the drawing date to be entered. Rallyup.com will automatically and randomly pick and contact winners. Winners should then reach out to Ed Mack on www.BrickPicker.com to arrange for prize shipment. As with the previous four BrickPicker LEGO Raffles, prizes will be only shipped to a deliverable and legitimate mailing address. Every effort will be made to get the prizes to the winners...no matter where they are on the planet. In case safe and reasonable shipment is not possible, suitable prize arrangements/replacements will be made. The prizes with large amounts of sets (St. Paul Mystery Lots) will only be shipped to the contiguous 48 states of the United States due to the excessive size and shipping costs. Replacement sets/gift cards will replace those prizes in case of out of country(USA) winners. The ability to buy entries/tickets/donations will end on Sunday, May 23, 2021 at 11:59 PM. The drawing date for the winners will be Monday, May 24, 2012 at 12:00 AM. If you are a winner, please contact me on the site so we can confirm the prizes and shipping addresses. The Rallyup.com site works very well and is secure, so please feel confident in donating to the school and purchasing raffle tickets. All the money goes to St. Paul School, which is a 501(c)(3), and to Rallyup.com for running the raffle. I will make every effort to supply the winners with the appropriate prizes. If there are shipping issues, inventory issues or potential problems beyond my control, I will make sure the winners are awarded LEGO sets/gift cards comparable to the original prizes. Any questions, ideas or concerns, please reply below or PM Jeff or me…Thank you.

The only two stuffed animals I ever bought at Disneyworld was Pooh and Tigger. Nuff' said.

Logging in to my Twitter to start #CancelWinniethePooh campaign 👍

Mos Eisley in stock at amz

I was hoping for 2 tails for Tigger: 1 normal & 1 that curled up like a spring... Also detachable tail for Eeyore.. Also alternate Pooh's head with a jar stuck to it.. But these things probably would have increased the price to $120 LEGO should release these alternates + Owl & other Pooh's Corner characters in Disney CMF series 3...

1. As disturbing as this story was, just because a crime happened to 1 race of people did not necessarily mean the crime was motivated by race 2. In ideal world, this story SHOULD have been a national news. Even without the race component, "A group of teenagers assaulted and killed a woman sitting in a park". That was a disgusting and sad reflection of our time. I have a 3rd point regarding the cowards in mainstream media but decided to censor myself

My kids are also snoopers. They've even learned to pick the simple locks on some doors. I have a utility type room in my basement that I've been stashing Lego sets in. I'm always quickly sticking them in there and they are just stacked up and leaning from side to side. I really need to organize them. I used to stick them in a plastic bin in the garage however that got full. I don't even remember what all is in that bin anymore. I did recent get a Slave 1 out of it and put it in a better spot though. This morning I was up pretty early and tried to get something out of the utility closet space. By the time I got the door open and started moving things around I could hear my two oldest (7 & 9) running down two flights of stairs to catch me while the door was open so they could get a peek, lol. As for an actual complaint: I hate when people ask "whats you best price". I always reply "whats the most you will pay?"

Stickers

this might be good investment if not allowed in China

Blah blah blah Starting April 1st, FVF increases 0.2% for Toys and Video Games categories. Blah blah blah For details: https://pages.ebay.com/seller-center/seller-updates/2021-spring/index.html

what's it say that I don't actually read the update, I just come here to read what everyone says is the important stuff.

Such an amazing set. I don't normally buy on day 1 but I have to for this. My kids love Winnie the Pooh and will have so much fun building this.

Damn you to Hell! I used to cry watching Winnie the Pooh. Still do.

Was able to get into Dave Portnoy’s (barstool) stock (BUZZ) that he partnered around .70 cents and blew up this morning to $24...easiest $20K made in 2 hours.

Old Trafford gives Trafalgar Square as a bonus set now; pretty reasonable deal.

Much better execution than the Sesame Street set. Im not even a Pooh fan but this looks awesome.

Kanga and Roo notably absent.

Can’t wait for the Star Wars carbon freezing chamber bidet to be released. Disney really has its **** together.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise. I never really expected this backorder to happen.

Please feel free to ask me any questions or help spread the word about this years Brickpicker LEGO Sweepstakes...

Amazon has gingerbread house in stock. RRP. Limit 20.

With the exception (sometimes) of extremely awkward stickers, it's almost always advisable to fully complete sets by buying the required pieces on Bricklink. Once a set is ready to be sold, list it as buy-it-now. Auctions seldom achieve the same price that patience and a BIN listing will (though they guarantee a faster sale). Selling in bulk really is only suitable if you cannot stomach the thought of putting hours into sorting everything properly, as nearly all those who are willing to buy bulk lots will be resellers who require meat on the bone. Also, don't be afraid to write-off certain sets. For example, a Lego Racers set - worth maybe £5 inc. postage if you even find a buyer - that has missing pieces is not worth the effort. By all means just lump them into a single bulk sale.
