I saw this while paging through this year's sets on Brickset. Note the miniball joints. I think I'm going to fill up a large PAB cup just with them.

Not really planning on making another trip up until after the Lego Batman movie is out so I can get that Batman costumes polybag.

I wish they updated it more. I went for the first time to PAB about 7 months ago and then again maybe a month ago and it was probably 80% or more the same parts. I'll have to hit it up when they have those ball joints and spinning tiles though. Those things are insanely useful. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 04:02 on Jan 23, 2017 |

Ika posted:^^^^^^ A UCS interceptor or advanced would own. There was a UCS Interceptor. ...and boy does look incredibly dated next to the UCS Tie I'd love for a UCS Bomber (or in my wildest dreams a UCS Tie Defender) - the alternate Ties feel like they've been woefully neglected. Both the Bomber and Interceptor had one normal sized model, and that was back when they made Ties blue & black. It feels surprising not to have had more with how many revisions of Darth's Tie and Rebel Wings there's been. There's rumours that there'll be a first order bomber to go along with the Episode VIII sets though.

Aside from Bricklink or ebay, is there a fairly simple, affordable way to get some Technic Rods, Gears, Pins, Gear Racks, whatever, really... to go along with my boxed Power Functions box? The ONLY other gears I really have are presently living in the Bucket Wheel Excavator and gently caress no I am not disassembling that, ever.

I called the Tukwila store after work today just to see what they had out for the pick a model, and he told me they just put out the excavator. I headed up there and filled a cup with mini ball joints. Looks like others had the same idea, since the bin was a bit low compared to others.

I haven't seen anything new since the rogue one sets in stores. I'd imagine the next wave will be very soon though.

I was at the Raleigh Lego store this weekend with my 4 year old daughter just looking around. I bought her a $5 Friends set and when we checked out she told the Lego employee she loved his Batman mini fig he had on his name tag, while wearing a Batman hoodie and he gave it to her right there. The look on her face was priceless and made her day, so Batman is sitting on her bed shelf with her other prized toys. I filled out a survey for the guy and I hope he gets something out of it, thank you Patrick for making my daughter's day amazing.

I got the Mr.Freeze set last night and it was an enjoyable build. But looking at the other sets, i'd like the other villains but then I may be stuck with multiple of Batman and Batgirl... I suppose I can just sell em off but still kinda annoying. First world problems.

Any of you guys ever make sound effects or otherwise talk in funny accents when you are working on a build? Asking for a friend...

Well sure, that... but I meant like, maybe making hydraulic ratchet sounds on wheel installations, and you know, speaking in a german villain accent to yourself when hunting for a certain piece. You know... my friend does this...

Anyone here have experience selling used (but complete) sets on Bricklink? eBay's a hassle for sellers and SA Mart goons always lowball the hell out of reasonable prices.

I think most goons are looking for good deals, not reasonable-average-bricklink-price. $600 might be a 'reasonable' price for Cafe Corner considering its average on BL at $700-900+, but few of us are going to go for anything like that. And most everything from the past ~10 years is pretty low demand around here. I've never sold on BL, only bought specific parts and a handful of used/complete sets.

My SA Mart issue is with the goons who offer 1/2-1/3 my asking price, which is almost always already well below MSRP.

Some goons trawl SA Mart to make money on a dead gay comedy forum.

I put on soundtracks similar to what I am building.  Which is really just Star Wars music... But yesterday I listened to the Batman TAS soundtrack.

First world problems. I would gladly purchase one of those extra Batmans off your hands.  I've been trying to find a set where Flash doesn't cost an arm and a leg for. So much trouble to put together a little LEGO Justice League set on my shelf.

Is there a particular flash figure you wanted? Ebay has some for $5. And bricklink will have all of them for varying costs, as well.

So I went to the Lego store today to grab some cups of the PAB wall. Upon checkout I saw two very cool vehicles and was like "oh man!" Turns out they are each 10 dollar City sets that are either very or somewhat new? Stunt Truck and Buggy https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Stunt-Truck-60146 https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Buggy-60145

Those look neat but at this point I'm p sure I have all the parts needed to build either of those a half a dozen times over. Once our renos are done and we aren't sleeping on the floor of the Lego room I gotta build a few of em.

I haven't seen a set in years that uses that roll cage that the buggy does. They used those in everything in the 80s.
