Hey guys, I personally have no problem with people posting their stuff for sale in this thread because used LEGO is likely to be uniquely interesting to people posting here, but I would greatly prefer if extended conversations about pricing, offers, availability, etc. could be moved to a relevant SA Mart post or private messages. Thanks much! Anyway, Brickset and Brothers Brick have their reviews of the Medieval Blacksmith up! Looks even better than I thought before, seeing it broken down like this. What a lovely set.

Butterfly Valley posted:The mandalorian battle pack. OP needs to lower his prices if he wants to sell, $150 is RRP for both sets new and unbuilt. I didn't even realize that (I didn't remember what I paid and just looked everything up on eBay) I see that it's out of stock on LEGO.com so it explains the stupid eBay prices I was seeing. $150 is too much for sure, I'll take $110.

I've been waiting almost a month for an order from eBay that finally arrived today.  This may have been the most I've spent on a per-part basis, those little sails go for stupid money on Bricklink but luckily the auction wasn't titled very well so I saved some money getting these as a group. I needed just about all of these to complete some sets I ended up with in various part lots I've bought in the past couple years.

https://store.bricklink.com/dingraham?p=dingraham#/splash I bought some capes from this seller before and they had sails too. I thought the quality was really good. They had to delete their custom pieces when lego took over bricklink though. Their splash page says they'll be opening up a new site though.

I'm thinking about getting some and those Castle banners on the splash page are dope. It'd be nice to only do one order since international shipping is expensive and I'm not in the US.

I don't wanna spend more money on LEGO but I think I gotta get that blacksmith, to encourage both more castle lego, and specifically more non combatant castle lego.

a sexual elk posted:Someone build a mill with a water wheel to go with it.  Now that’s a fabulous idea! The stream, water chute with ninjago city style water tiles, small waterfall, technic linkage of the wheel to a working grinding mill... that’s the sort of centerpiece set to go along with this in a medieval village or renfair plopped in the center of a modern city. E: I just think it’s crazy that the blacksmith took three years after ideas approval. Gives me hope for some of these other sets that don’t seem to be getting love from Lego.

I almost bought a new blacksmith set a couple years ago. The price was really reasonable, too. But I just couldn't pull the trigger because it seemed sort of boring. I'm sure it costs 2x as much now.

That 3739 I was going to brick build (order the pieces from various sellers/Lego). Now I don't have to with the new Ideas Blacksmith. I am also lucky enough to own Medieval Market and Windmill. You, Carbs, may have forgot one that I would consider part of that collection: https://brickset.com/sets/6918-1/Blacksmith-Attack. It is "attack" so it's got a battle in it, but still fits the theme, I'd say. I bought a billion dollar lotto ticket for tonight's drawing so after I win I'll be able to buy any set I ever wanted (I can only wish).

Carbohydrates posted:Civilian Castle LEGO is always such a hit when it happens. I think almost every single civilian-oriented Castle set LEGO made is either a cult classic or a huge hit.  . The new blacksmith set is cool as poo poo but at £140 and considering I'm not going to running in-person games for a while, I can't really justify getting it.

Do you do maps and set pieces as well? Or just characters. Floor plans made of 1x# pieces sounds rad

Carbohydrates posted:I glanced past that one because I didn't think it was beloved quite on the level of the others and it's less of a structure, but yeah that's a pretty neat set, too. That's some truth. It does not have the following of the others, but if you want it you're going to pay out the nose for it. I've got one in the box because I haven't gotten to building it yet. That's most of my sets though. Today I swung down to the Lego store to grab the Series 21 figs I wanted and two Harry Potter 2 series. Grabbed everything in series 21 except the airplane girl, space police guy, alien guy, and dolphin girl. They have everything already sorted so it was super simple to go in and grab them. The best part is I used up all of my VIP points. Had enough to get $50 off and that covered nearly every fig. Also got a random helicopter freebie. Now I only have two sets I need to buy that aren't retired yet; blacksmith and gardens, and the rest of the HP s2 I want, but Lego store isn't selling them so I don't know where to grab them from. Talked with one of my Lego store friends for a while. Six feet apart and masked the whole time thankfully. I told her how much I've been purging from my collection and it surprised her. I told her even with a larger house I can't display everything I've got and had to seriously cut down the collection. She told me it was giving her anxiety because she just keeps collecting and I'm shooting for cutting by half. Her collection is absolutely insane. Lego employees get all kinds of special freebies/gifts too.

Collecting Lego again has made me remember why I've tried to cut down on buying physical items in general - lack of space and storage. Seeing some people's collections and storage/display space blows my mind.

Seeing some people's collections and storage/display space blows my mind. Move house once with a collection and you'll learn fast how "too much" lego is, and the real kicker is it's not very much Lego. I've already told my partner that if we run out of money I am willing to sell everything except my Aquanauts and Aquasharks and bee related Lego (bee girl, bee keeper that just released). If I can keep the Islanders sets I'd do them as well, but they aren't part of the absolute keep list. If I dropped this hobby and sold everything except the absolute keep list I'd probably find enough for a downpayment in my bank account. These kinds of realizations change a persons perception of their hobby.

fappenmeister posted:Collecting Lego again has made me remember why I've tried to cut down on buying physical items in general - lack of space and storage. Seeing some people's collections and storage/display space blows my mind. This is why I have been selling groups of sets once I complete them. I've found I get the most enjoyment out of getting unsorted lots, figuring out what sets were in there, getting the missing the pieces, and then building the sets. I have a house but nowhere good to display more than a couple sets, and having closets with big storage bins filled with bagged, broken down sets mostly gives me anxiety. Completing a theme gives me a sense of accomplishment, and its cool being able to get all the sets I saw in the catalogs as a kid but couldn't get, but then what? I don't play with the sets like I did as a kid, and I'm not much of a MOC maker, and to be honest a lot of the old sets aren't really that great. Once I get the "get all the old sets I've ever wanted" out of my system, I'm going to get rid of the majority of my collection aside from a few vintage sets that have some meaning for me, and some current ones that I think are good.
