Squashy Nipples posted:Just got a Bricklink order for a 7674-1... in Sweden. I was pricing shipping some Pixelbricks to Finland, and no matter how I tried, I couldn't get FedEx or UPS under $70, and I was only guessing on dimensions and weight. USPS, on the other hand, had a similarly-sized flat-rate box going to Finland for like $16. I haven't actually done it yet since I haven't heard back from the guy, but still. Even with my dad's huge employee discount for FedEx, USPS would be cheaper according to the website.

Yeah, looks like USPS is cheapest, $22.17. Network42 posted:Buying one of those new Millennium Falcons to throw in my closet and appreciate for a year, good idea/bad idea? Yes, but might need to be more then 1 year. Typically, I set the price where I want to, and put in on Bricklink, and just wait for my price to be the cheapest. Some prices go up faster then others.

I bought a Millennium Falcon today at toys R us due to the 25% off sale. I chose between it and the Frigate, and I really like the Falcon. 3 hours to build, and I wish it had been longer. Then this happened

Found some series 5 in the Lego store in Ontario, CA yesterday, so they're rolling them out in the US a bit before September 1 it seems. I also have an extra Jane Goodall, if someone wants to trade (I already have a detective though, sorry).

I did a quick run to TRU today and got a few more S4 minifigs. I only have 3 missing now, the punk rocker, the surfer chick and the mad scientist. I want him so badly but I can never find him and don't want to look too creepy feeling up minifig packets for 2 hours. The dwarf and the hazmat guy are pretty awesome

The mad scientist has squishy rubber hair so you should be able to find with a minimum of fondling.

So, I decided that I'm finally going to start playing Brikwars and get a bunch of my friends into it and I'm going to be building my army based on Metalocalypse. I'm not sure, though, how I'm going to make Mustakrakish (Mostly with Technic pieces, I've decided). Anyone have advice?

Once you decide that, you need to investigate if it'll be possible to recreate its horns, its identifying design feature, which will be the most difficult task. You can bend things up and down using hinges, but getting the twist is... well, the twist.

So I bought a tin of Lego at a car boot sale for 50p full of little creator sets (the ones that come in bags), and amongst them is this guy: All the others I've taken apart, but I love this little blue whale so much, he's staying complete.

Dame Cook posted:That tin was probably the 2009 Mirror collection (either 12 or 13 models IIRC). I got two copies of the whale but one of the others was missing. Boot sales can be good and bad. My parents bought me some 'Lego' at a boot sale recently. It turned out to be some horrible knockoff that had trouble sticking to itself, let alone joining to Lego. There were some bits of actual Lego in there, I managed to find 99% of this NBA Lego set and some of a droid fighter. Oh, and 2 very odd looking mini-figs and a loving huge yellow cockpit. I've been meaning to look those up. EDIT: Oh, Jack Stone set 4617. The_Doctor fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Aug 30, 2011 |
