The Rage posted:Was really hoping the new Marvel sets would go up for sale today too. I really want that Spider-Man bridge set. Brickset is working on their review of the bridge set so surely it'll be soon. I'm excited about the DC ones, I don't have any version of the bat tank.

I'm pretty sure I read that it was partially glued. Kid was just a purist.

The Targets near me had the Lego Dimensions on sale for $45, so I picked it up for the Wii U. I'm finding it fun, I've played the story mode and the Portal and Midway arcade levels. The Portal stuff is mostly fun for Fanservice. If anyone is looking to get into the game, pick up Cyborg, he's got like 5 good skills among his 8 or 9, but a lot of his skills are good in combination with other skills he has. Like Dive and Laser Eyes.

My kid is almost 4 so i'm using him as an excuse to be a manchild and get into Lego. I just searched my local classifieds and there is a guy selling random bricks by the Kilo. Roughly how many pieces am I looking at in a Kilo?

Roughly how many pieces am I looking at in a Kilo? Really depends on the size of the bricks in the lot. And you gotta be careful with bulk like that he might be throwing in a bunch of non-lego just to get the weight up.

Local guys selling by the pound or kilo, especially in small quantities, are not always the most trustworthy. Could be junk bricks, off brand, etc.

Certainly the best option would be to just go look at them and see if it seems like a good selection/ Isn't a bunch of megablocks or something?

Is BrickLInk still the best way to buy serious bulk? I'm going to need a total of about 300 + 300 + 400 (1x4, 1x2 and 1x1 respectively...) pieces and at averaging between 10 cents and 20 cents per brick I guess I'm looking at like, over 150 bucks. Will BrickLink sellers offer a bulk rate?

Feenix posted:Is BrickLInk still the best way to buy serious bulk? Depending on color, you can get them cheaper. You can get 300 1x4 black bricks from a seller in Germany for $.06 per brick. Make a wanted list and you'd be able to find out pretty easily.

Here is 100 1x1 blues at 1 cent each: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=DetBrk&itemID=87929987 and here is 555 at 1 cent each: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=jeremmy&itemID=44617582

Trying to clear out a bit of space in the house, wondering if anyone would be interested in the following sets. All of them were built once, no missing pieces, have mint manuals, no box. Send me a PM? Grand Emporium Pet Shop Town Hall B-Wing Edit: Willing to do mostly a 1:1 trades for any other UCS or larger sets... obi_ant fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Jun 5, 2016 |

I wish Lego made a piece that was just basically a motorcycle seat for a minifigure so you could actually make custom bikes. I've always wanted to give kanedas bike a shot from Akira.

Still have a couple of footballers: mustafi x 2 schuerrle x 3 khedira x 2 oezil schweinsteiger if a trade falls through I'll also still have Kroos Mueller oezil I'd prefer getting rid of more than one at a time since getting to the post office is a bit of a pain.

I like the really compact look of the Pet Shop, would the Detective’s Office be good addition to it? Also, I noticed that the Brick Bank has a small shop next to it too, do you guys think that would be a good look if I'm trying to make a "cramped" "city-like" feel to it? So, Brick Bank -> Pet Shop -> Detective's Office.
