1000 Brown M and Ms posted:Yes, there's a system called LUGBulk which is pretty much what it sounds - buying parts in bulk for cheap direct from Lego, however you have to be part of a LUG, it only happens once a year, there is a relatively limited selection of parts and shipping can be ridiculously slow. And by bulk, I mean you have to order in increments of 50 parts. I've done it a couple of times and it's pretty cool. Pretty good post/username combo

ivantod posted:Yep. Gotta be there at the very moment the sale opens (midnight, presumably?) if you want to have even a fighting chance of getting any remotely interesting sets before they are all bought up. I guess Lego doesn't care because the sets sell out either way, so... Unfortunately I don’t think Lego is really in a position to care. They aren’t exactly making money hand over fist these days so from their perspective if they can move a bunch of slow-selling high value sets quickly, they don’t really care who’s buying. The last time both the Technic Porsche and the UCS Falcon went on discount they sold out in under 3 hours. Sucks for the regular who didn’t know about the sale. Im still pissed about missing the Porsche for under $200; I would have finally pulled the trigger.

I had gotten the Bond Aston Martin for my birthday a few months back and was pretty impressed at all the gear work that went into it. It was a pretty fun build with very little repetition. The ejector seat especially is quite clever since it actually works 95% of the time. I got the ship in the bottle for Christmas, which was a little disappointing build-wise but looks very cool as a display piece.

Picked up the new Technic Corvette on a whim last night. Honestly, a pretty cool build for the price. I was expecting an hour or two based on the relatively low piece count, but ended up taking the better part of 4. The drive chain assembly for pushing the engine pistons is neat because it requires both rear wheels to be rolling together to function. There’s an alternate hot rod build too so for $50 not a bad deal at all considering the branding and number of unique pieces.

Nth Doctor posted:Has anyone built the Technic racing yacht? I've seen it at Target a few times but haven't decided if I want to pull the trigger yet. I’ve been wanting the Technic Porsche for a while but just can’t justify a $300 Lego purchase. The Corvette has the same orange-and-black color scheme that I like and I’ve spent $50 on dumber things in the past. My stepson and I both have tomorrow off of work and school so I’ll probably take it apart and see if he wants to do the hot rod rebuild.

What’s the odds on being able to get the Creator Mustang when it drops on Friday? I’ve never bought anything direct from Lego before, but I want to earn the VIP points for the decent sized purchase. With the decent previews so far it looks like it might be a popular set.

Scipiotik posted:Going to a store or online? online can be hit and miss as if it's popular their website will turn into slag. I don't think it'll be more popular than the Sat-v. I don't think you'll have issues getting it release day. Also I think it'll go live midnight eastern, so plan accordingly to your locality (or if you are not an american). Probably buying online, eastern US. I have a Lego store reasonably close but it would be a pain to get to after work. I’ll check the website in the morning and see if I can get an order in.

Cojawfee posted:Mustang has been up for 40 minutes and isn't sold out, so it might be easier to get. I was able to get it from the webstore this morning so either the demand isn’t there yet or they did a decent sized first production run. Also the new Technic Corvette ZR1 earns double points right now for anyone who’s on the shelf about it might be a good time to pick it up.

IG-88 posted:If you guys wanted to unload a LEGO collection valued a bit over 6k retail (sealed boxes). What would the best method be? Craigslist, Offer Up, eBay or Bricklink? I'm just weary of setting up auctions on eBay and then having people also trying to buy the same stuff off the other sites. Maybe I'm wrong. Surely someone has experience in this. Is the Ghostbusters car the 21108 Ecto-1? If it is and it’s new in box I’ll make you an offer. I gave up on eBay. Trying to buy Lego on eBay is frustrating as hell.

Anyone ever have any luck convincing store staff to give you the VIP bonus even if your purchase doesn’t meet all of the criteria? I want the micro Battle of Hoth set but don’t really want anything else from the Star Wars line (other than the UCS Falcon which isn’t in my price range). I was thinking about splurging on Voltron and seeing if they’d tack on the Hoth bonus since I at least met the dollar value.

Serperoth posted:Has anyone else had trouble finding the Mustang? I checked both the LEGO store and a general toy store on Saturday and they were completely out. LEGO store guy told me that they'd sold like 40 or 50 of them over Easter (Orthodox so, one week after the other Easter), offered to order one for me. I got the ‘Stang at launch and didn’t have an issue, but I’ve heard that the physical stores have lower stocks now. It appears to be in stock on the web store if that’s an option for you.

Taintrunner posted:Can anyone here give me a rough estimate of how long it takes to build the Saturn V or the 75105 version of the Millenium Falcon? Just curious for setting my schedule. I built the the Saturn V over 3 days I think, maybe 2 or 3 hours a day, so 6 to 8 hours maybe? It was my first set in years though so I probably took longer while marveling at how complex the builds have gotten.

Habibi posted:I'm waiting for the UCS Y-Wing to go on sale. Come to papa, baby. I built my Y-Wing this weekend. I don’t think UCS goes on sale too often, maybe once they’re going out of print. I picked up the Y during the May the 4th promo for the double points and micro Hoth set bonus (which is honestly pretty cool). In any case, it’s an awesome set with very little repetition (the engines are identical but quick builds), although holy greebling Batman, my fingers are still sore.
