Is there a thread for mini figure trading? I grabbed what I thought was a samurai and a space marine. It was an explorer and a unicorn.

I am not good at feeling bags.

Anyone have the new Star Destroyer? How is it?

I love it. It's going to look great on the bookshelf next to my Venator star destroyer and Corellian Corvette. My only complaint are the missile shooters.

I'm currently working on the Helicarrier. It's enormous. I don't know where I'm going to put it when it's done.

I'm downsizing and looking to get rid of some lego sets. Do I just list them on Craigslist and hope for the best?

I listed 10195 Republic Dropship on my local FB buy/sell/trade page and got a reply. But he wants me to ship it across the country. I'm not getting a good vibe from his messages. Anyone have experience selling and shipping lego sets across the US? Any tips or advice?

Is there a website that tracks minifig prices?

The only Lego store near me is closed until November because a hail storm destroyed the malls roof :(

Do any major retailers carry UCS? I can't think of any.

Colorado Mills? There's a lego store in Park Meadows.

Anyone have any Lego Movie sets they don't want? Especially new ones?

Are you looking for any sets in particular?

I'm trying to sell Benny's Spaceship, Bad Cop's Pursuit, MetalBeard's Duel, and Super Cycle Chase

Just out of curiosity.What sets do you guys regret not picking up while they were in production? Obviously there are a ton I passed on that I'd love to have, but only a few I truly regret.

For me it's the Creator Ferrari, Old Fishing Store, Ghostbusters car (friend gave me one, but it's missing the figs) The last small scale Star Destroyer, UCS Slave 1, The Ghost (my god this set got expensive holy moly) and Batman Tumbler. Also to a lesser extent, Voltron and UCS Iron Man.

I'm not counting anything from the years I wasn't into Lego. Just stuff I waffled on and missed out.

WALL-E

Still kicking myself on that one.

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.

After the success of Andor, I do hope we get more sets based on the show. Kind of tempted to go get the one that came out.

If the lead time for new sets is two years or something, then they could be in time for season 2! :v:


I have two complaints about that set. Lego Andor doesn't look like Andor and it should have come with more CorpSec goons.

Other than that it is a great set. It's a decent looking speeder bike and the Tac Pod is an amazing build

What is this piece? I saw it in a YouTube video. Seems kind of very specialized.

The ARC-170 sets and a few of the X-Wing sets over the years used them to open and close the wings.

Baba Yaga but instead of a house on bird legs it’s just house on bird

There are more pictures floating around the internet. The house has bird legs too!
