I still need to get the chain on mine. It wasn't pulling the lift up properly. I have to go back and figure out what is wrong

I picked up skull island (7279) from a woman getting rid of her son's stuff. It's still in the box and only built once. She also has android base (6958) same condition I'm pretty sure I'm going back for.

I'm not into trains but she has 10014, 15 etc My own trains used in boxes. Is there anyone looking for those?

Train guy here, I actually bought some tracks from another poster in this thread earlier this year :)

Would definitely be interested in hearing more about what all you picked up! I believe I have 10014 in my collection, but not 10015 for starters

There were like all 5 of those? In the series she has. Another train which is a different set and a tub full of tracks

There was also bags of phantom menace sets. Random city sets. Some star wars buildable figures in boxes

If you're going back, I'd be interested in the Star Wars stuff

If you guys want to PM me I can send you a list of what I can see in the pictures. Not sure on prices of everything but she wants cash only.

I guess the sherrif's office too if you MUST be complete.. with a jail cell where you can hitch a horse up to the window bars and pull the whole wall out for the epic escape.

They should just do a roman line, like castles. Colessium is cool but if I can drop $600 on that then I have no excuse to give myself for the falcon

Ah, forgot I don’t have PMs any longer.

If guys want, you can reach out to me at whowatchesthem @ gmai and I’ll respond.

For Goons, I was thinking half off of retail price? I honestly don’t know how people price these things — they’re not new and I want to get rid of them quick.

I’ll start breaking down the Batmobile, Assembly Sqaure, and the two architecture sets tomorrow morning.

How do y’all usually ship these things?

I'd be interested in the slave 1

Would anyone be interested in

70144 chima fire lion
75912 speed champions porsche 911

Trying to consolidate things in my house. Both are new in box. Both boxes have some wear. I'll make a SA mart post if so

Captain Duvel

I didn't even know that was going live. I kept searching under new and only saw the one with the lion. At least they're taking backorders

I dug my skull eye schooner out of the box and it was almost all complete still. Had to put the masts and sails up obviously. I can't believe the instructions go for 150 on ebay

If the Pirates of Barracuda Bay sold half as well as it was received by fans and critics alike, I think Lego would be insane not to make a follow up with a reimagining of Imperial Trading Post, the jewel of my childhood Lego and probably my favourite set.

I remember looking at all those in the catalog as a kid and seeing how "expensive" they were then and knowing I couldn't get them.

Oh god, the ucs falcon is actually available on the website. But I should like, buy a knockoff and NOT spend $800. Right?

I just called my gf and said hey persuade me not to buy this. She said well where would you put it? And its your money do what you want.

That didn't help

I know it wouldn't probably help a whole bunch but I'm surprised lego just doesn't put a limit of 1 on everything. You can buy only 1 pack of toilet paper but you can buy 3 millennium falcons

I bought the purple spider base thing because it's cool looking and different from most sets. A lot of the new ninjago and monkie kid sets are really good looking.

I finally got around to building barracuda bay and just wow. Easily one of the best looking sets. The box doesn't do the final product justice. It's huge, vibrant and just awesome. I want to buy more of them just to build pirate ships.

I've been wanting to just build things for a while but never had a very good assortment from my childhood sets. I found a big lot on facebook, about 50 pounds. I started to try and sort it but it's really overwhelming. The best way I figured was to just start building.

Im a big castle fan so I started with that idea. That was pretty much the only "planning" that went into this. It then turned to a castle jail cell. Then I came across a ton of the dark red pieces and always wanting a roman/greek line so I went with that.

This by no means is very good. Very basic building, in fact it's daunting to post in here with the talent that gets posted.

Ideas I had to change this:
Make the whole top removable
Make the back open instead of the side
Make the natural rock wall inside slidable to open a secret hallowed waterfall

Apologies for terrible pictures, too.

I like the waterfall and the varied foliage a lot, and you did a good job adding texture to the walls with various modified bricks and SNOT tiles and such. The main thing that I really like, when I glance at this, is the overall composition. Everything is laid out really nicely. Definitely keep posting as you tweak it!

Thanks you guys!

Off the top of my head...
- Courtney Cox was Jerry's gf in one episode, she has a Friends minifig
- Marisa Tomei was George's gf in one episode (I know...), probably had an Aunt May minifig
- Jon Favreau ("you're hung up on a clown from the 60s, man") got a Happy minifig
- James Spader (mad at George for stretching out his sweater neck hole) got an Ultron minifig, but reusing that face might look odd

Would probably be fun looking at all the different "non-yellow" heads on bricklink and seeing whose faces matched close enough for Puddy etc.

Holy poo poo that was Jon favreau??

My dad texted me asking if there’s a Lego Home Alone set, and I said yes, sending him the link. He asked if I was going to get it, and I replied not this year, but I would be getting Barracuda Bay, and sent him the link for that. He also likes that one :3:

Also, this moc microbuild castle was on Reddit and I love it.



That's beautiful
