At one point I thought I wished I could've bought every new modular town set, but what I really wish is that I had bought all of the 3-in-1 town, home, fun, vehicle, etc sets over the years and a bunch of roadplates and built the fuckin' rad Lego city I'd always dreamed of.

BaconCopter posted:When it rains it pours, even more reveals abound. Dreamzzz turned out to be pretty awesome! I guess you could get the instructions for that giant Lego fig and use it as the base to build more custom giant Lego figs.. In other news, I have a good handful of sets I think I would like to sell. I see that Bricklink is the reseller site of choice, but how long do listings tend to stay active before selling there? I have mostly Star Wars Episode 1 sets, does anyone care about those at all? I have all of the set codes: 1822 8050 7141 7127 6898 6899 6829 6264 7130 7155 7150 7166 7180 7140 7144 7128 7134 7146 7150 7101 6829 7121 7124 3439 7111 8000 8001 8237 8002 8858 7131 7106 7104 7115 7151 7186 7184 7161 7190 Almost all of them are in great condition, most of them with boxes and instructions, ad booklets, etc. I haven't put them all together to check, but I believe there are few if any missing pieces. If it's gonna be a bunch of faff and trouble to sell them online, I'll probably just take them to our local BricksAndMinifigs and just sell the lot and/or liquidate some of them into the kids' loose piece bins. mutata fucked around with this message at 21:28 on May 2, 2023 |

I'm OK with spending ~$30-$50 on ebay every time they pop up, though. They're neat and their interiors are pretty detailed for a little pack in model.veni veni veni posted:I wish they sold the minifigure scale Pac-Man cabinet set for like $10. Big one looks good but…much like the Atari and NES im just like “what do I need that for?” I bet these would be almost reasonable to order pieces for and make whatever cabs you actually want, though!

Milk crates are the perfect volume-to-carry weight containers for dense things like books and such. It's hard to find something heavy enough that a milk crate's worth volume is too heavy for either the crate or the average person carrying it. Plus if you're some beefcake strongman, they are made to be stacked and carried while stacked.

The Disney Infinity character art team had to make a Captain Barbossa toy that looked like Barbossa but didn't look like Geoffrey Rush. It's fairly common.

Waltzing Along posted:I just read about it and after it had a lackluster release (flopped) they said, how can we make $$$ w/ this? So every October starting in the mid 90s Disney would broadcast it constantly and then started pushing home video sales as well at big box retailers during the same month. So a bunch of kids had it constantly pushed to them from an early age. And all of those kids now have kids. Bish bash bosh.

I was always partial to the 90 degree corner raised baseplates anyway. Or the Castle ones. These ones: Anyway, here's the original for comparison:  The Unitron Monorail has a station on a raised baseplate. That always seemed appropriate to me as a kid when playing with it.

These near-bankruptcy era sets are super interesting, yeah. A lot more one offs and HUGE monolithic pieces with printing on. This original Millennium Falcon set hardly tops 650 bricks. The Unitron monorail set is also hilariously low in brickcount.

Here he is, the $200 minifig. He's holding the ~$5 printed 1x1 flat tile. He's standing next to the ~$60 Aldar Beedo, uhhh... minifig.

Cojawfee posted:Looks like it was only in one set, Watto's Junkyard. Though that set looks pretty sick. Looks like it comes with two pod racers. Crazy that they didn't bother to print anything on the two minifigs. Even for a used set you're looking at over 250 bucks. Though I guess it's better to just part it out because the minifigs are worth more than the set. The pods are neat, but by default the build is 1 podracer, 1 parted out podracer, and some junkyard paraphernalia. I think you're meant to disassemble the paraphernalia and use the same pieces to make a frame for the other pod, but we haven't gotten that far yet.

What's the best site to sell old sets? The only sets I have that are worth anything are the 7190 and the 7186 that I posted earlier. I'm interested in offloading them.

Waltzing Along posted:There is no best site. Thanks for the rundown. The Falcon is missing perhaps 2 pieces. Watto's Slavetime Jamboree is fully complete though. Both have boxes and all pack in documentation. I'll probably source the missing bits and do that combo auction you suggested. Thanks!

Cojawfee posted:You might want to just get those missing pieces because it will probably make someone more likely to want to buy it. Otherwise, they have you buy your set, but also figure out how to get the missing pieces. Oh, for sure. There's 2 missing pieces, I believe, so it would be silly to try to sell it without replacing those.

The Dreamzzz line has a crazy shark monster ship. There's a 3-in-1 Pirate Ship too that's pretty ok depending on how you feel about fabric sails vs brick sails. https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Building-Children-Creative-Adventures/dp/B0858K44NP
