The good news is that unlike MtG you can still get Lego sets at MSRP (although Lego went through a wave of price increases) and when they release their 30th anniversary bullshit reprint it's actually an improvement. And if you're a member of their loyalty program you get sets a few days early and I've never had an issue with availability even on the super rare collectable ones that go out of stock they do make more. Anyways, come to the LEGO thread for a chill time and satisfying snaps. Also we have this guy, Carbohydrates posting his models and he's really good!

Captain Invictus posted:lego is one of the most rock solid investments when it comes to collectibles. I think it was the wall street journal or forbes that had a front page article about how it can possibly be a better investment than gold. Well I wish I had known that before I gave all of mine away to a collector friend for free. I'm really bad with that kind of thing in retrospect. I also gave all my pokémon cards (including some original print run foils) to a friend in college for her birthday. I still have my o.g. yugioh cards at least

My dad has hundreds, possibly over a thousand, of sealed Lego sets in his basement (along with a bunch of other poo poo) and I'm dreading the day I have to go through them with my brother. He jokes about that to us sometimes, like "yeah you'll miss me when I'm dead, but what you'll really miss is having me here to tell you what all that poo poo is"

I'm sure there's money to be made holding onto collectibles for years and years, but being a Lego brick finance guy just sounds too goddamned goofy for whatever the payout is.

Ok, I'm now getting into the lore of The Brickster and I am reversing course, Brick finance is good, actually. quote:He wears a black and white prison uniform with two different color gloves: one white and the other blue. It is unknown why The Brickster has two different-colored gloves; either it is because he stole them (since he is colorblind) or because he never wants to be caught red-handed.

My in-laws have gone the other way, spending the past 5-6 years doing what I can only describe as anti-nesting. Sending things home with us when we visit, but also just throwing every non-essential item in the garbage and preparing the house for sale. Explaining every little nuance of their filing system and walking me around the property lines so I am prepared to ... enter litigation with their neighbors if necessary?? And I can't say it isn't convenient, but they're not THAT old and in pretty good health, all things considered.

Captain Invictus posted:protip: find the set number on the box(usually a very big 5-7 digit number on one of the sides) and plug that into Google along with "lego" and you'll get all the info for that set necessary in 10 seconds or so, and do that on ebay for sold listings and you'll find the average sold prices. honestly him leaving those to you is pretty cool, sealed stuff is incredibly easy to flip. The shipping is the issue. Lego boxes are large and irregularly sized. You basically need to ship them in other lego boxes.

Get an ebay account going and buy a lot of stupid low priced bullshit to get 100+ account feedback points or whatever. This is the magic threshold for selling poo poo on ebay. 2. Get used to flat rate shipping with USPS, it is the cheapest for those big box Lego sets 3. Hope that our entire economy/society does not collapse by the time your dad dies for you to actually cash in on that poo poo. I am sure useless bricks of plastic will be not worth as much by then if/when that happens. Edit - I mean, at least we can burn magic cards for temporary warmth, so that's some sort of utility. I also guess we can spread Lego bricks around our future homeless tents for protection? jeeves fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Sep 12, 2023 |

My folks are doing something similar. They recently had to clean out multiple sets of grandparents homes and property and one set had literal storage barns of random poo poo they’d just buy at auctions, and the others saved every goddamn thing they ever bought. So I think my parents realized they don’t wanna put my brother and I through that and have been pretty active in clearing out anything they don’t actively want to keep.

Most of the time I just end up making some doofy card designs themed with playing cards or poker but I feel there's gotta be a real game idea in here somewhere.

Babies get sick like its their job, its probably normal. And yeah, feeling like you don't know what you are doing and are making it up as you go are also normal. Its also super normal to build starter decks for your kids years before they will even be capable of playing them. I advise using heavy duty top loaders when introducing them to magic cards, they are bite resistant.

I think I had the worst draft experience with WOE. Not because of the set, but because my pod and I were absolutely knackered from the previous week (life, work, etc), and I also got some bad cards from my sets (I'm not that good at draft, but I generally managed to win one round, this time I got nothing and the best card I pulled were Imodane and Will and didn't have much fun) so it wasn't a good experience all around. One person did manage to pull Doubling Season out of his booster, which was nice, and we all could see what a cool card Gruff Triplets could be. Edit: Oh yeah, while it's cool that WoTC finally decided to add the stories to youtube, it's really funny that a multi billion dollar company uploaded such a poo poo video. Bad audio, bad reading and worse editing. You can hear the reader go "how do you pronounce this? cut this part" in some of the readings.

AngryBooch posted:back in my day, kids (me) were thrown into the deep end of instant speed interaction and having nightmares about Necrite: Man, I used to run a suite of these in my pre-Tempest reanimator decks. And they were actually pretty good in the context of the deck- a (really bad) removal spell that doubled as a body that could be brought back. I even tried a set when Recurring Nightmare hit but even by then creature quality was too good to make it work. ... wild how bad that archetype was for a good while into MtG's life. I wonder if that's card quality or just play ignorance.

I'm trying to put together a decent standard deck for Arena and with Cut Down in the format I'm not really sure what creatures they expect people to be able to play. Makes that one rant about the Chupacabra card seem quaint. I guess it doesn't really matter, I barely have any wildcards left anyway.

I took this deck for a spin, and it just doesn't have legs. It's not consistently fast enough to beat aggro, and it rolls over and dies against even a few counterspells.
