How long do pick-a-brick orders from logo's website usually take? I placed my order two weeks ago and it is still as "in process" in my account summary but I never got a confirmation email.

Merchant of Death posted:2-3 weeks to ship out and depending on the shipping/customs it can take that long to make it to NA. My last PAB was on the 20th of october, it was sent to be shipped the 12th and is still in transit. Thanks. I am getting antsy to build!

Pirate Ken posted:If you don't regularly check LEGO blogs, there are a lot of sales on Amazon right now. Basically everything from the Movie is 20% off, and a lot of 2013 sets are discounted 30% off. What blogs do you guys read?

Do any of you guys have these thrid party articulated mini-legs? I love the idea, but I'd like to hear some opinions before I buy a bunch of 'em. Speaking of which, any other third party companies you guys like?

Apparently Lego has had so much success with CUUSOO that they are ending their partnership and doing it on their own. Link. Also I got this guy in the mail today, he was totally worth it.

I walked past a brand new box at a Walgreens last week, and then today I saw what I assume was the same box and only a few were missing. I guess what I'm saying is try drug stores. Ymmv.

My brother is a radiation oncologist and one of his co-worker's nine-year old kid made a lego linear particle accelerator.  You know, in case your mini-figs get cancer.

Somebody was asking about Western Emmit. Gamestop is doing a Lego Day promotion and you might be able to get one with a game purchase. The games will be discounted too, and for what its worth I've played the LOTR one, one of the Star Wars titles, and the first Batman and think they are pretty fun. Edit: broken link. Just go here and scroll down, sorry. http://www.gamestop.com/ deoju fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Jun 4, 2014 |

My technique varies, but every time there's a moment where I'm looking for a piece and my internal dialogue goes like this... "Where the gently caress is it? Ugh. poo poo. It's missing. Check the bag again. It's not there. I've never had a set that was missing a piece before... God, they must have awesome quality control. But this time they hosed up, because it is definitely not here. I guess I'll have to... Oh, there it is. Nevermind."

Ika posted:That sets makes me want a new creator dragon set, the red one released a couple of years ago was a bit of a let down. There was a leaked pic of a forthcoming Creator set with a dragon build a few weeks back. It was mostly dark red, iirc. I can't remember when it comes out though. I might use it to MOC up a Smaug.

FWIW I book marked this seller on bricklink a little while ago because they make pretty good looking custom capes. While I've never bought anything from them and can't testify to their quality, they make custom sails too. They look to be priced below the market rate.

Occasionally I see stuff on bricklink that makes me say  too. Like this seller has 103 Saruman's robes which only comes in the $200 Orthanc set. They must be a professional re-seller, but they still spent $20,600 on that one set alone. Makes my Lego budget look good by comparison.

I'd be interested in printing custom stickers for tiles too. The one I really want is "No Admittance - except on party business." for the gate on my Bag End set.

There's lots of sand green in the Hobbit set that comes with Smaug that came out a few months ago. Dunno if they are the pieces you are looking for though.

I was squishing bags at target today feeling a little self conscious about my jorts and a dad and his son came into the aisle. They were looking at the star wars sets together and the way the dad was talking I could tell he was a bit of an AFOL too. We ended up helping each other find the minifigs we wanted.

I was in line at an Ace Hardware the other day and they had unmolested boxes of the two most recent minifig waves for $4.29. Kinda high, but you could probably find the ones you're missing. How much do the pick-a-brick cups go for? I might be traveling by a Lego store this weekend and I am deciding whether or not to go.

Speaking of moving big rear end lego sets... My friend's was having a reception in Milwaukee for friends and family after having a courthouse wedding. Since Milwaukee has the closest Lego Store to me I figured I would leave an hour early and swing by the mall and pick-a-brick and build-a-fig and still make it on time. I walked in the mall only to see a giant Lego Statue of Liberty. Turns out there was an exhibition of American monuments throughout the place. This was at Mayfair Mall in Milwaukee, but the pamphlet said it was a traveling exhibit. I thought you guys might like to see the pictures.  The United States Capitol  Another shot of Capitol. I tried to capture how much floor space this thing took up.  Some Winter Time MOC that I'm don't think was part of the exhibit, but I took a picture anyway.  More Winter Moc.  Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Where the Declaration of Independence was signed.  Old North Church, which is in Boston. Where Paul Revere' saw the lanterns.  Jefferson Memorial. I'm not sure why, but people tried to throw coins into it.  The Mall rendered in Lego.  The Supreme Court.  Anothe angle of the SCOTUS  You wouldn't know this building if you weren't from Milwaukee, or a Baseball fan, but it is the home of the Brewers, Miller Park. I'm pretty sure this wasn't part of the exhibit, but something somebody commissioned for some reason. Kinda neat.  More Miller Park  My camera couldn't really catch it, but there was a game going on inside. The real stadium does have a Harley Davidson mounted above left field.  This Fuckoff huge Washington Monument.  The frieze on the Capitol  Libby  The White House I ended up being a half an hour late to the reception.

Amazon US has some of the Dimensions sets up for preorder. I placed mine for the 3 ghostbusters sets. I couldn't pass up the minifigs, but I'm not gonna buy the game. I'd trade or sell the pieces that unlock the levels if anybody is interested when the time comes.
