It's a Volvo concept vehicle, of course it looks ridiculous.

It’s a concept vehicle for a Volvo Wheel loader. This one is futures, with a survey drone, and is unmanned with a camera.

We just liked how it looked. :)

Well, of course I know him.
He's me.
The Potter CMFs are the only line I’ve never gotten a duplicate in (so far), and I’m convinced it’s because I only have a passing interest in HP and I’m mostly just buying them for the weird new parts. If I’d been searching for a specific character I’m sure I’d have 15 pastry smugglers instead by now.

I'd hope that if he can afford like 40 grand worth of Legos he'd have the sense to be paying a few bux a month for renters/homeowners insurance. Not that I don't feel for the guy that blows.

Heed my words and become a master of the Heart (of Thorns).
Welp that sucks.
Dude looks really heartbroken.
It looks like he is getting a lot of support in the comments though, even from Lego themselves, hopefully things will turn out ok.



I can see why someone would steal unopened sets, thats probably not very hard to unload, but why steal a MOC? The individual pieces are kinda worthless in that they will take ages to unload and the MOC itself is unique and no one would buy it.
Also how do you appraise a MOC?
The value of each individual piece? Which price, the cheapest on BL? Some sort of weighted average?
What about all the hours spent building it?

They'll dump it all in a tub and sell it per pound. When you're a thief everything you can make off with is 100% profit no matter what it sells for.

Yeah, it's like melting down a one of a kind piece of jewelry to just sell the gold. That's so hosed though, I can't imagine that poo poo.

I wonder what the chances are of the thieves getting caught.

Even then honestly they don’t give a poo poo. I had video of my neighbor stealing a package off my porch (the BB8 set last year) and they were like ehhhh we will write a report.

Amazon nicely replaced it but man that was frustrating. What more do you need??

Hard to tell if it folds up into turret mode - seems like a bit of a missed opportunity if not. That's kind of Bastion's thing.

That looks like it's got a boatload of miniballjoints, so it should be a pretty decent action figure all told.

But 25 bucks for 180ish mostly small pieces is a nope

The lego ideas book set looks like a 10.26 release. Instagram has the box. Lego significantly improved it over the submission. At least the outside, hard to see the inside.

Instagram also has another of the overwatch minifigs.

Checked ours, no dice. Might need to be larger floor plan targets I don’t think either of ours stocked the giant sets that weren’t licensed.

As much as I'd like to get into trains, I don't need another Lego vice and I don't have the space for it, so I think I'm just gonna throw my really lucky mega haul of tracks on Ebay. Just thought I'd mention here that I'd be into entertaining trades though before I list it, if anyone is interested PM me. Mostly looking for OT star Wars stuff I don't have, maybe Ninjago movie sets or Ideas sets.

Its about 110 pieces of straight and curved track, 2 switch tracks, a speed regulator, 2 power supplies, and 3 connectors.

Get the yellow crankshaft bits 180 degrees out and it won't collapse properly.

Worst news ever. Just spent $200 at the store on Saturday.

Real question is if the black Star Wars VIP card is ever getting another sale.
