Grolim

A wild Grolim appears... He throws a few Kiwi dollars on the pile. Great cause, well done everyone.

Congrats to all the winners, and an even bigger congrats to the BP and wider Lego community! Great effort on the fundraising! Hope the school is super happy with the results. well done Macks and top stuff on organising and donating prizes (thanks to the others who chipped in prizes too) Group hug all round

Yeah that's cool. Not sure how the space guy is drinking that coffee though

I hadn't thought of that either, so simple! Thanks Those are some great MOCs. I've often wondered what people do with all their spares as once you get more than a handful they are virtually useless. Putting them into models like any other Lego piece is fantastic. I've been chucking one in free with each order in my new Bricklink store just to get rid of them.

3 per box! Damn, that's going to make my Zombie Cheer Squad harder to assemble!

The bottom set is a lot more planned and even than the top one. The top set was a combo of 2x4's 2x2s 2x3s and random plates and other bits I could scrape together. The bottom shelf I measured and purchased the specific amount of bricks I needed. The overall length is 92 studs. The plates that form each shelf ledge are 6x4s layed end on, so 23 per level (23 x 4 = 92 studs). 4 levels so 92 plates in total. The bricks are all 2x4s. They lay across the plate level so that 1 stud is sticking out behind them and they take up 2, then 3 studs in front for the minifigs to sit on. They are stacked 5 high on each level. So 23 x 5 = 115. Three levels use them so 3 x 115 = 345. Plus a used a few extra ones as on each level a few on each end are turned sideways to achieve the offset to make them overlap like a brick wall. The top level is actually 1x2x5 bricks. I used them as it was lighter, slightly cheaper, and on the top I didn't need 2 studs depth to accomodate another step on top. The top of them is crowned with a layer of 1x8 tiles to keep the tall bricks in alignment. Could use thin 1x? plates but I needed tiles as the studs from a plate made it just too tall to fit into the shelving unit. There is also a bunch of bricks at the back on each end coming down from the top layer to the floor and attaching to each level. This is needed for stability otherwise the whole thing topples backwards. It's not pretty but it does the job, and you can use any random old bricks you have. Hope that helps, let me know if it's not clear or you want more info/pics.

I got some from Amazon UK yesterday.

Sorry Marge the mob has spoken...

Bulk lots on Ebay might be an option if you don't mind used bricks. look for ones with lots of "castle" type pieces n it. Other than that, yeah Bricklink is the best as you can get exactly what parts you are after.

Spawn more Overlords! These are great, thanks for sharing Orc. Some seriously talented people out there.

Like others have said, it depends quite a bit on the distribution within a case. I also can see quite a few of these having additional demand drivers: 3 Zombies - people love zombies. Plenty of people collect them (e.g. I myself have every Lego zombie minifig) and plenty of people build armies of them for display#10 the Gargoyle - would be great for MoCs of castles or other haunted house type buildings. Having a few as statues would be excellent.#4 the witch - not sure about the figure itself but the black cat accessory may prove a hit.#8 Zombie cheerleader - because it's a zombie cheerleader! But also I think those pom poms will have some great uses (make your own cheer squad, or actually use those pom poms for landscaping small trees and bushes etc)#11 Skeleton - mainly for the Halloween pumpkin#2 & #6 - do the pirate zombie and fly guy have unique hands (hook and claw)? I'm not sure. They could provide demand if they are unique. Overall a great series. And I'll be picking up a box or 2 for sure.

Such a beautiful thing. The lighting is a great touch as well. Love that nice glass cabinet too.

Given this set is not available in some countries (only JW set not sold by retailers in my country) I'm wondering how many are being snapped up by flippers to churn through on Ebay to international buyers.

I was fleetingly tempted to ddo something like that myself when the house came out. Then my lack of funds, creativity, and space snapped me out of it.

I still haven't watched the first 2, please don't beat me
