Huh apparently I've been getting these Nanoblock things repackaged as Micro Brix at Five Below. Less options but I can deal with that and the iffy quality for a mere $3. Usually I find that most of the pieces don't want to come apart once placed so you'd better put them in the right spot the first time.

Nanoblocks lens themselves well to sturdy designs. I have their golden temple and grand piano models - the temple is very sturdy, apart from a few small details, while the piano falls apart if you look at it wrong. Echoing the poor instructions, though.

I'm clearing out some of my collection, and I figured I'd give you guys first dibs before moving it to eBay and Bricklink. My asking prices are in line with Bricklink: 7778 - Midi-scale Millennium Falcon $55 70704 - Vermin Vaporizer $38 75005 - Rancor Pit $70 76021 - The Milano Spaceship Rescue $70 - Includes Rocket minifig and printed Groot pieces from 76020 7592 - Construct-A-Buzz $22 - Includes brand new sticker sheet 75025 - Jedi Defender-class Cruiser $70 - Doesn't include any minifigures or their accessories LEGO Batman CMF: Fairy Batman $4 Barbara Gordon $3 Commissioner Gordon x2 $3 Pink Power Batgirl $3 Red Hood x2 $4 Zodiac Master x2 $3 March Harriet x3 $4 LEGO CMF Series 16: Dog Show Winner $3 LEGO CMF Series 5: Lizard Man $11 LEGO CMF Series 4: Hockey Player $7 LEGO CMF Series 2: Surfer $8 LEGO CMF Series 1: Zombie (missing shovel) $18 Magician $10 The sets were all assembled at one point, with stickers applied. All stickers are in good condition except 7592, but that's why it comes with a brand new sticker sheet. Sets should be complete, I did a pretty thorough parts inventory and Bricklink'd the few pieces that were missing. If you buy something and run into an issue, I'm more than willing to help you out. Shipping from 77059, send me a PM if interested.

veni veni veni posted:Those brickheads suck just as much as Pop figures but at least you can take them apart and make something cool out of them. Lego revealed the BrickHeadz last July for SDCC 2016, where they were an exclusive collectable. MegaBloks introduced their Kubros at Toy Fair in Feb 2016, but I'm not sure when they were available. We all know Lego doesn't develop a product line in 5 months. The Kubros look like they're slightly more posable than the BrickHeadz, and they're more expensive at $15 each as opposed to Lego's $10, though I think the Kubros average more parts. As an aside, why is it that if I go to megabloks.com, it's all toddler crap? I have to go to megaconstrux.com and then click on Worlds to see their licensed stuff, or megabrands.com to see links to both. You'd think they'd keep it all under one brand and website for ease of use. kubros.com doesn't even have a placeholder redirect or squatter, but ninjago.com and bionicle.com go straight to Lego's sites (though nexoknights.com is squatted). Megabloks' own shopping site doesn't list 2/3rds of their Kubros...unless you go to the the specific character on megaconstrux, then click on Visit Shop. You click to go up one level in the shop, and it only lists the latest wave. What idiots do they have running their web presence?

As an example of the pac man instructions, some steps are placing bricks in a layer next to each other, and then attaching a layer above that has bricks that don't connect to the the bricks beneath. They literally have to hover in place until you get to the next step or three. I have seen someone claim they're meant to be puzzles that you're supposed to figure out, but I think that's a bit "hurr hurr jokes on you- I was only pretending to be a dumbass!".

Just curious if anyone has these sets they'd want to trade. I have a bunch of stuff I can list if need be. Droid escape 2016 Jabbas sail barge (newer version) Desert skiff (newer version) Slave Leia or disguised lando minifigures in the even no one has those last 2 sets they want to get rid of. Still on my quest to get every tatooine weirdo.

Finally got around to building the UCS Slave 1. I have never seen a set with so many spare pieces. We are talking ~70 small pieces, such as 1x1 rounds (5 of the metallic one and 3 of the black one), 1x1 cheese wedges, 1x1 plates. Multiple minifig guns. That visor that Bobba Fett has on his helmet came with a whole bag of them, literally 5 visors and 5 antennas even though the Bobba minifig only uses 1 of each. All the spares are tiny pieces like these. I almost think that i missed several instruction steps which only contained small pieces but that seems unlikely.

Nah you get a bag of visors with every boba fett. Spare parts are the best, it's always little bits like cheese wedges that you can never have too many of.

Not with a solid stud though, solid stud minifig heads disappeared in the 90's so that is a legit old piece.

Normally every bag that contains a small piece contains an extra of that piece because the scales used to ensure the correct number of parts are in each bag aren't accurate enough. Not sure about the visors though.

There are certain classes of parts that you always get an extra of, and I'm pretty sure visors fall into that class. And it's not an extra per lego set, it's an extra per plastic bag inside the set. Like you will always have an extra 1x1 round stud, an extra antenna, and an extra cheese wedge in every color that comes in the bag.

Not sure about the visors though. Someone mentioned there was another set with more visors and antennas needed, and that they likely just reused the same packages for the fig in that set rather than adding another bag type to their inventory.

Never. I always think "Aha! They forgot this time!" And then it turns out to be hiding under a piece or in a tire or still in the bag hiding in a crinkle.

Biggest gently caress up was my Helm's Deep set came missing two entire bags, and with one extra instruction manual. Ringing Lego they said to return it to the retailer for a replacement as they'd sort it out quicker than they could send everything, so I did, minus every minifigure, horse, and anything else interesting I wanted.

Captain Invictus posted:You're a shitbag Just to play devil's advocate and as an ex-retail employee; since he would be returning a package with missing pieces we would not be able to put the product back out. We would have to take it to our shrink department, where it will be returned for credit. There would be no way to tell if he took the minifigs or anything like that and we would still get credit. Still a crummy thing to act proud about but still there is no real harm in doing so.

My Green Grocer came with one too few green 1x4 bricks, but one too many 1x3s. I thought about writing to Lego but always figure, let's not overdo it for one brick. Anyway I can build it so the gap is in a corner and you barely notice.

It's been so long, but I think the only time I had significant missing part was for an old star destroyer set. It was a 2x12 plate or something, had no idea about being able to write lego for missing pieces at the time so I just found a piece from my collection to take it's place.
