The tallneck is sold out at my local lego store :'(

But I got the mando starfighter, the goat boat, and succulents. I love the forestman promo set. So much nostalgia.

I was a little bothered with my Tallneck at the end because it seems like the disc should be perfectly aligned with the ground but instead it's tilted down at a 15 degree angle or something.

Mine looks like this video but the picture on the LEGO website looks a lot straighter. Perhaps it's just all tomfoolery with the camera angles though.

I'm a broke-rear end bitch that needs to sell off a bunch of old sets; what would be the best way to go about it? Ebay? I tried looking at the Brickset forums and adjacent but they make my brain hurt trying to navigate them. Here's what I have at the moment.

I've been seriously considering disassembling and storing 75% of my collection, but I can't find a single set I have on display that I want to take down lol.

I'm jealous of people that have enough living space to just make a low key spare Lego room and otherwise have an adult looking place to live in. Just want a tasteful Lego shelf when I have enough to fill up a large room and it all gets peppered around the 1000 sq ft I have to live in.

The lego instructions app is pretty neat. Being able to see and rotate the parts in 3D can be really helpful. Really drains my IPad battery fast though

One of the awnings in the Ninjago City Gardens is also made with layered video game controllers. There's also little roofs made with sausages and cleavers.

Anyway, the Speed Champions style James Bond Aston Martin has shown up on a French retailer's website, along with the Fast & Furious 1970 Dodge Charger R/T with a Dominic Toretto minifig:



Fingers crossed that the movie subtheme of Speed Champions will include a Death Race 2000 Frankenstein/Matilda the Hun dual pack at some point.

The more I look at it the more I love it. My biggest worry was that it wouldn't get the scale right. Ingame those things are huge and literally tower over everything so I was worried that with a minifig Aloy next to it it would feel off, but it absolutely doesn't. I'm sure it's smaller than it 'should' be but it feels right.

Man, I really hope they do some more Horizon sets.

Best way? I think it probably depends on how much work you want to put into things. Are your sets separated, complete, and with instructions? If so If I'd think the modulars should sell quickly and easily, maybe look at current pricing on bricklink and ebay. I've only bought stuff there, but Mercari might be another one to check out. If you're looking for a lower effort avenue with (in my experience) good results, might try posting what you got in SA mart and pop a link in here, I've bought some sets from goons and it's always been a great experience and saves you hefty sellers fees and lovely anonymous buyers. Heck, I might be interested in buying the castle stuff as a bundle if you have an idea what you're looking for price wise.

To make things easier on yourself I might try listing modulars individually, then bundling your themes like castle and Antarctic and sell it as a bulk lot, otherwise it's probably going to take awhile. Bricklink takes a lot of work and there's some discussion in the last few pages about some of the challenges there if I recall correctly, basically you need a huge and varied inventory to attract buyers and it's just a lot of work. I don't know what being a seller is like on ebay these days, but I've been turbo hosed by lovely buyers on laptops, where they'll break it a month after receiving it and send it back for a full refund and I'm out shipping and a nice laptop, or lose the charger and say I didn't ship it and shake me down for a partial refund when the buyer is a bulk laptop reseller shop. I'll never sell on ebay ever again, but might be ok for you... seller beware.

All the sets are complete (although just loose-in-box) with instructions, yes! I guess I'll post an SA-Mart thread and just go off the used prices on Brickset, plus a discount for goons/bulk buys. Thanks for the help!

Finished my Kakapo. I really like the finished model but the building experience was a bit tedious. Not surprising since a a 3rd of the pieces are 1x1 plates or tiles...Also the wings are a little prone to coming off but it's not a problem for a display model.

I honestly cannot fathom why they wouldn't. Maybe they know castle nerds (me included) are locked in for the castle regardless, so might as well extract another £150 in the run up?! That seems particularly scummy though.

Lego management is pretty god drat scummy at the moment. So I think it's intentional to try to purge some inventory before the new sets come out.
