Just drove to Mississippi to pick this collection up. Great price.

Exactly 100%! Plus phantom stock, imagine going in deep on Blacksmith and BookShop. 🤦🏻‍♂️ That is why many of these fools have pivoted to YouTube to make their 5% by trying to pump up a dead market with fake stats or focusing on the 5 sets that have been winners in the past 2 years. There are too many good expensive sets coming out every 1/4 that people can’t keep up. The market is flooded like Beanie Babies. Cantina which should have been a slam dunk winner with all of the exclusive minifigures will be a kiss of death set for many. That is also why this place is dead AF everyone who was just in it for the money has left for greener pastures. F Lego and F the bubble thread I’m going swimming 😝

Am I allowed to toot my own horn here? Pretty proud of this one ... Updated pic with full background surround:

I promised I would build the giant crane and I did! After callibrating(!!!) it with a bag of rocks my daughter crafted a little paper basket to carry around some little squishmallows. The app works really well and I was impressed by the sensor features it has, like real time loading calculation and balance, still though, kind of a pain to take pictures of when you have to use your phone to control it! Also it's HUGE. I've got it sitting atop a 3x3 IKEA Kallax unit here and it's hanging off both ends, dwarfing the Medieval Blacksmith shop.

Hey Brick Pickers! We are at it again with Dungeons and Dragons. 12% off code is "D&DPicker" Set (after discount) = $58.95 Box (after discount) = $156.64 We always offer FREE Shipping on orders over $75. If you have subscribed to our emails, you should have received this update, but I want to reiterate here for anyone else. We are now working more directly with The LEGO Group as an authorized reseller. That means that unfortunately we are no longer able to offer international shipping. We really hate to lose all our international community, but this was a necessary change. There are so many fake and knockoff LEGO products circulating these days and this should ultimately aid in reducing the flow of these products. As for lead times, now that we are sourcing in the US, all orders will ship to you on the official release date. That means you should have them within days of release (early September) rather than the usual weeks later (late September). We are really excited to be able to offer that as well as more official backing from US LEGO. Please feel free to reach out with any further questions. As always, happy building! Jon

You're 10 years too late.

Check you local Sam's Clubs. My daughter just called and asked if I wanted these. She performed an excellent arm sweep and came away with nine of them. I trained her well.

Now this one has some potential

Sourced these through a local FB bulk lot purchase. 3 of about 30 80’s 90’s sets.

Set of the Year for me by far! The only set that was even close in comparison, but still a very distant second, was Snow Whites Cottage and then Batman Skyline coming in third. I have a lot of 2024 sets yet to build, the Endurance will be next then D&D, Medieval Town Square and Milky Way eventually. This is the set stock but I have 2 BL orders and a PAB arriving next week to enhance it some. The build was fast and fun and I couldn’t wait to work on it. It just looks so beautiful in person. Use gloves when handling the window elements. The 5 stickers are all on the inside and not front facing so you don’t really see them in the finished build. 12 minifigures and 5 animals. At this price or even at 20% off not an “investment” set at all. Build: 9.5 Play: 7 Display: 9 Value: 6

Completed the Disney Castle. One of those sets that I waited too long to purchase but was able to acquire with some help from a new friend. Enjoyed the build with the subtle touches to movies, characters from long ago.

As I mentioned in the past, Shane likes to troll YouTube and Instagram so he can copy business. Before my YT channel was rebranded to Brick Bucks, it was called FBAA Millionaire. I purposely made the channel hard to find and I would have people occasionally reach out to me and ask me questions about reselling. When I moved from Ohio to Kentucky I stopped making videos but I was still encouraged to continue making more. Around 2018 Shane reached out to me and we chatted and exchanged information from time to time. I had open heart surgery on March 16, 2020, the day when everything shut down because of Covid. I had a lot of complications from my surgery so I couldn’t work for a year. Because I had a lot of time on my hands, I was diving deep into LEGO ROI spreedsheets and sent a few to Shane. He asked if we could be business partners and relaunch my YT channel. He was not the first one who asked me to be partners but because he worked at Microsoft and he said that he knew how to do everything, I thought it would be a good fit. Not long after he would say things like. “I was researching how to do X” or “We need to purchase something from Income School to do Y.” I thought to myself, you had told me that you already knew how to do this. SMH. It’s interesting when I hear you say, “It's been quite a show watching the market fall apart and a few choice people really working hard to prop it up.” At this moment I’m quite happy with what is going on with LEGO reselling. Many fly by night resellers are exiting the space and I couldn’t be happier! I think the future is very bright for LEGO reselling but that doesn’t mean that you can just keep doing what you’ve been doing for the last ten years. When it comes to getting top dollar reselling LEGO sets, I believe Q3 is the new Q4. The problem is Q3 doesn’t have as much sales velocity as Q4 so you need to adjust for that. The name of the game now is exclusive sets. There are some top picks that don’t involve exclusive sets but excuse the expression, you have to know what you’re doing. The zombie sets are one of the biggest threats to LEGO resellers and I’m certain LEGO knows that now. You need to account for that as well. The days of buying a bunch of Batcave 6860 and hoping for the best 18 months after it retires just doesn’t cut it anymore. As for the second part of your post, again, he had only recorded three videos himself. There were well over 100 videos of me, and I knew I could start a new channel relatively easily. My main goal out of all of this was to just get away from him as quickly as possible and I wasn’t too concerned with receiving my fair share of the company. You think he’s annoying from a distance, try dealing with him on a daily basis. LOL. The choice was either to buy him out or dissolve the company, and then both of us restart from scratch. After we couldn't reach a deal during a video chat, we agreed to dissolve the company and talk more in detail about the next day because it was getting pretty late. The next morning, I woke up to a very lengthy message from him explaining why I should buy the company. I laughed because he was clearly more interested in selling Brick Bucks than I was in buying it. If I recall, I may have offered him $20k, and he said no. Again, he's no business genius. That email I attached makes him sound like he knows what he’s talking about, but when you google ‘How to sell a business,’ he pretty much paraphrased the content in the first search result. I told him that everything he contributed to the ‘business’ I could have easily received from UpWork or Fiverr at the time. There was nothing special about what he was doing. Yes, he worked for Microsoft, but he only worked in ad sales placement at the time. Nothing more. Anybody could do what he did on YouTube, and plenty of people are now. I’d be surprised if he was still buying LEGO in somewhat large quantities. He had that warehouse for his book business, but I think that might be gone now. He hated dealing with his book business, by the way. In the past, he presented it as some great thing on his YouTube channel, but he would always ***** to me about it. Lol. I saw on one video a while back that he mentioned he was sending Speed Champions to FBA. That’s a big pivot from his original business model if that’s the case. He would often reference the California gold rush business model, why spend time mining for gold when you can just sell the picks and other equipment. Also, if Shane is some LEGO investing genius, why isn’t he buying LEGO at a significant discount from that place overseas that everybody with $100k is now doing? Again, I’d be surprised if he was still buying much LEGO. In the past, his wife commented on a YouTube short saying that they would never show Shane’s inventory after a bunch of commenters kept pressing them to do so. I would’ve shared that screenshot in this post, but they must’ve taken that video down. Personal note: I’m certain this thread has caused some attention and there are a few onlookers. I’m very aware that many of you have personal scorn for me. Some will talk **** about me on here but when I talk to them on the phone, they act friendly as can be and that’s ok. I understand that I am not ‘one of the boys’ on here and I’m fine with that. I hope I at least get a little bit of credit for the times I have made it a point to tell people on YouTube that I would not be here if it were not for Brickpicker. I have said that numerous times and it is true. I have not acted like I am the one who discovered reselling LEGO reselling.

Star Wars: 75249 AT-AT Driver Helmet

One more finished today.

The new Tudor Corner is a great set. I wouldn't say the build experience was particularly revolutionary or special, but the final outcome is quite impressive!

Finally cut the seals on one of my BL Designer sets. Had a great time building Brick Cross station, but I would have gladly spent extra for printed pieces and instructions. Oddly enough, as I was on the last steps, my Tudor Corner ordered on 1 Jan arrived at the door.

I've been doing it for 12 years, full time for the last 6. You can't make any money at it and I wouldn't try. But tell you what, let me know what parts you have and I'll give you a decent price for them, especially minifigs. Seriously, it's just like running a car or motorcycle parts house. As stated above, you need good organization skills as well as familiarity with the parts. If you can look at a pair of legs and know that they belong to the Zeb minifig, it'll save you a ton of time over trying to look it up to discover what they are. I also determined early on that I don't want some customers. I don't want the customers that order 240 different parts, 1 of each. So I set a modest lot average minimum of $.90. I also have an $8 minimum order. True, I lose some small orders but, those are not my customers and I do not want them. I value my time more. You just have to decide what type of store you want to run. One other word of advice. Don't contribute to the race-to-the-bottom on items. If 20 people have a part and the cheapest is $.20, don't automatically go to $.19. It makes us all poor. Some store owners never seem to realize that, you can sell that same part for $.28 IF you have the other 40 parts that the buyer needs in stock. I'll gladly pay a higher price for a part NOT to have to place yet another order, with shipping. Good luck to you and don't hesitate to ask questions here.

City Gardens on back order at SAH

Im on vacation this week and actually had an evening alone in the Lego building and thought the Wednesday Adams set needed a building. I still have alot of work to do but its coming along pretty well.

Bought this from the recent Kohl's sale last week, arrived the other day in it's factory shipper. I'm going to ACTUALLY BUILD THIS.

Holy Insider Reward Points Batman I thought this would be a GWP. Super Cool : )

9/1 $200 2193 Pieces

Additional photos and thoughts: Wonderful set but not quite Rivendell in terms of aesthetics and build. Solid 9.5 overall. It’s a shame that the Fell Beast wasn’t included to begin with. Based on the interior art, I suspect it was but the bean counters came in at the 11th hour and changed that.

Craigslist for the win! $350 total. I have purchased from the seller in the past and he meticulously puts the pieces back in the original bags and tapes them shut when disassembling. I never thought I would get the Technic supercars, but I couldn't pass this up.

Went to the opening of the Bricks and Minifig store here in New Orleans. Was actually suprised by the ammount of people that showed up. The line wrapped around the building .

Wishing you many happy sales and fewer returns !!!

I don’t collect the helmets and the AT-AT driver was my first and will be my only. I think it looks cool. Stickers suck. Mainly got it to go with my UCS AT-AT.

the joys of selling on Amazon, Amazon will pay me for the lego and I get a free dinner

Disney Tribute at my store was $33.91, so couldn’t pass up those. Stitch and Poinsetta were $28 and $31.

Ahh, they put them at the bottom of the LEGO Offers and Sale page: LEGO® Deals & Promo Codes | Official LEGO® Shop US or using this direct link to list them Member Offer | Official LEGO® Shop US.

Call me a fool but I am still buying at least one Bookshop a month for as long as that zombie walks. But I have a decently large warehouse to store them and, if I didn't spend money on LEGO, I'd just spend it on hookers and blow. And yes, I am currently sitting on 14 Blacksmiths and :::shudder::: 9 of the original Disney Castles (71040.)

Another classic to add to the collection ... 7740+7815+7819+7820, plus an original 12V transformer and track. 10yr old me would have been impressed .... Sent from my SM-A326U1 using Tapatalk

I like the Funwhole solution. Use real common batteries (CR2032?) and DON'T include them. It may cause a little belly-aching at first but City builders and builder of battery sets will just get used to having the batteries on hand. A 10-pack of CR2032s are $5.99 at Amazon.

They added a “Lego Sets” catagory.

Well, I just got outed for buying a full-price C*ty set...

$1800. The person I bought it from was just tired of Lego and wanted the room back. So part of the deal was I had to take it all including the table the city was on and all the bins under the table and the random sets they had in the house. It was worth the 1 1/2 hr drive.

I couldn’t resist. The theme along with the ease of finding the figs.

already tried that one. Do NOT go there...

Brick Artisan 2X LEGO Friends Botanical Garden MOC. I highly doubt I will take this apart to do the 3X MOC and just wait for a deal on the new Botanical Garden set.

Our Sam’s Club doesn’t have any, they just clearanced out Scooby Doo sets.
