RE: Big lego thread

[sonic mirage]

It is retiring

Use the flat end of the brick seperator for more control

[arctic notch]

cant succumb to fomo, as i need to get ATAT too

cant get em all 😂

[sonic mirage]

Atat will be on shelves for atleast another year

[sonic mirage]

Gunship wont

And its probably gonna be gone at blackfriday

[arctic notch]

Someone’s going to space

[sonic mirage]

Nice nice

[cerulean wharf]

Indeed

I already have the NASA Saturn V and ISS sets so I want to round out the collection

All's that's left is Perseverance rover

[arctic notch]

Ohhhh so nice, i hope to see pics in future when you have the time to build em all 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[cerulean wharf]

I need to fix up the Saturn V and ISS since I threw them in boxes for my move, and I'm not sure where they will live in my new place

Debating just completely disassembling them and rebuilding

[floral marten]

That’s one I don’t have either. But not sure I’ll pick it up. I do like iss, discovery, Saturn v, and lander though.

The tales of space age is also a nice space related one

[sonic mirage]

You missing tho

[cerulean wharf]

ESA 🤮

Jkjk

There's like a small non branded shuttle that I could get

[floral marten]

I tried to get that but was stymied!

[sonic mirage]

I own it sealed in box

😂

[cerulean wharf]

Oh no it's in stock

[safe sierra]

oh no 🤣

[cerulean wharf]

Oh no

[safe sierra]

welp goodbye life savings

[cerulean wharf]

How

Oh no it's in my cart

How did that happen

[safe sierra]

😂

oh no. it bought itself

how on earth did that particularly happen lol

there we go. worded more better lol

[cerulean wharf]

Phew

I managed to delete it from cart

That was scary

[safe sierra]

[sonic mirage]

It was on backorder before tho 💀

[floral marten]

Buy making the purchase of it?

[cerulean wharf]

Sadly not

I gained willpower

[floral marten]

But it’s a double points weekend!

That’s a lot of willpower

[cerulean wharf]

It would be so many points

[arctic notch]

200$ cheaper than Lego

[cerulean wharf]

I kinda want the Costco monopoly

[sonic mirage]

You getting us all a UCS falcon for christmas that's nice of you 🙂

[arctic notch]

I wish

Be Corsair Santa

[safe sierra]

[sonic mirage]

I will take 2

😂

[cerulean wharf]

i think my sets are being delivered today

[floral marten]

What sets did you get?

I finally got the jazz singers since I had wanted it for a while and i got the Walkman vip set

[cerulean wharf]

@floral marten

[floral marten]

Oh right! Some good sets

[cerulean wharf]

The backlog is real

[floral marten]

Saturn V is also great

[cerulean wharf]

The Saturn V needs to be reassembled

However it took a 1200 mile journey banging around in that box that I might just demolish it and build it again

Grogu also needs to be put back together, but I think he should be mostly intact

[sonic mirage]

Thats nothing

[sonic mirage]

oh no https://fxtwitter.com/LEGO_Group/status/1726969227666477083?s=20

Lego minecraft ain't even properly like minecraft 💀

[cerulean wharf]

Lmao if I could get more I would

[safe sierra]

Oh no.

[sonic mirage]

Sir this is all lego that i have to build and there is more

You aint winning

[safe sierra]

Build yalls legos SMH

[sonic mirage]

[safe sierra]

[sonic mirage]

Nah just need to trigger special interest mode again

[safe sierra]

[sonic mirage]

Or find a relation that wants to help me build 😂

[safe sierra]

Build them or i dismantle BD1 piece by piece 😂

Over the course of the next 4 months

[sonic mirage]

Thats your problem not mine

[safe sierra]

RUDE 😂

[sonic mirage]

I have a disassembled bd1

[safe sierra]

put it back together smh

[sonic mirage]

Its sib

[safe sierra]

i do love this BD1 set tho ngl :P

[sonic mirage]

it seems like a nice build

compared to R2D2

Which was mind you a royal pain in the ass

[cerulean wharf]

So you're saying I need to ship all my childhood sets from my parents house

[sonic mirage]

you think that's everything still?

🤨

[arctic notch]

Hahah ikr mine is a wall

[arctic notch]

😂😂😂 we’re all guilty of procrastination

And the hulk buster and BP

[floral marten]

Are you going to build them?

[safe sierra]

Kinda 😂😂

To be fair tho. Work takes up 90% of my life lmao

[cerulean wharf]

Oi it's not a competition 😂

[sonic mirage]

IT IS NOW!

[safe sierra]

Smhhhh

[arctic notch]

Eventually

[arctic notch]

Literally

Even the play sets id like to play with them

[sonic mirage]

Me casually making little stories in my lego builds when setting it up

[arctic notch]

[arctic notch]

3x points and 4x points on some sets

Really good promos this year 🤧🤧🤧

[arctic notch]

Got bmw motorbike

[sonic mirage]

[sonic mirage]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKbPVKe1nsA Major W for a battle pack

[safe sierra]

Niceeee lol

[arctic notch]

Finally

Battle of utapau role play

[sonic mirage]

It's christophsis on the box tho

[arctic notch]

Ya ik that, intro episodes. They didn’t do much on that planet

The spider droids are nice

And magna tri droids

Not a fan of the super raw speeder tho

Wish they released it with barc speeder

Not the little skiff looking ones 😂

[sonic mirage]

same but we can't have everything

[arctic notch]

Tru tht

Minifig count already higher 🙏🏼🙏🏼😫

[sonic mirage]

I just see it as a bunch of pieces

[safe sierra]

battle of christophsis. with Phase 2 😂

yep checks out

[sonic mirage]

Christophsis was constantly fought over

[safe sierra]

Wasnt that one of the main focuses in the Clone Wars movie? Lol

[arctic notch]

Supposedly

But we saw ryloth and geonosis gosh knows how many times 😂😂😂

[safe sierra]

I think we seen Geonosis... by my count. 3 or 4 times?

😂

Ryloth was about the same?

Dont forget how many times weve gone back to Tattooine tho 😂😂😂

[floral marten]

I picked up my first speed champions set

Also was trying to setup a display in the office with concord finally.

[floral marten]

And really tempted by the new camera https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/a4ae09b6-0d4c-4307-9da8-3ee9f3d368d6/post/5e671f48-1b5f-4eef-88df-c44a94d53c6f

[arctic notch]

NOW THATS worth

better than typewriter

[floral marten]

I like the look of the typewriter but can’t justify the cost

[floral marten]

Oh it’s up for pre-order, well, since I missed out on the ornithopter I’ll preorder this one

Huh, there is even a verge article on the set with some behind the scenes stuff https://www.theverge.com/c/23991049/lego-ideas-polaroid-onestep-behind-the-scenes-price

[floral marten]

Finally started on the jazz quartet

[sharp veldt]

omg where did you get those cars?! those are actually sick

[floral marten]

The f40 is set 10248, 911 is 10295, and the db5 is 10262. The f40 and db5 are retired but the 911 is still around for now

Oh and the Delorean and ecto-1 are available as well. I’m just not sure which ecto-1 that is

[small pivot]

10274

[floral marten]

Oh right it’s weathered

[floral marten]

Done the quartet

[floral marten]

Also a bit random. I went to ship something at staples and got a $5 coupon for in store use… turns out the sold some Lego sets so…

[sonic mirage]

I also have Dom's charger coming

And a battle pack

[floral marten]

And built the countach

[hybrid flame]

Got a Winnie The Pooh set for Christmas

[floral marten]

Nice! I think that one is about to retire as well

[hybrid flame]

yeah was really glad to get it before it was gone!!

[sonic mirage]

Yippieee

[floral marten]

It was backordered but just arrived!

[arctic notch]

Oh that’s cute

[floral marten]

Ya I’m going to display it next to my question mark block. Just need to figure out how I want to rearrange my current displays

[floral marten]

Was a pretty quick build. Less than an hour

[hybrid flame]

we have a tradition of building a Lego on NYE and marathoning star wars, so fitting we put together Luke's x-wing today

[sonic mirage]

I still wanna get that one especially cus the UCS Tie interceptor is rumoured

I want it so bad 😭

[floral marten]

It arrived fairly quickly!

[floral marten]

Also a quick build

[arctic notch]

W

[sonic mirage]

I am tempted to build some legooooooo

I have decided

[safe sierra]

Dew it

[sonic mirage]

I am

egg 🙂

[safe sierra]

Egggggg lol

That reminds me

I have an xwing i need to build 😂

But first i gotta put up more shelves lol

[floral marten]

I have that as well and like it quite a bit

[cunning canyon]

Don’t step on legos..

[arctic notch]

Not too bad with socks on

[cunning canyon]

🤣 How thick of socks though? 🤣

[sonic mirage]

It aint too bad in general ngl

[arctic notch]

New marvel sets cost arm and leg

[cerulean wharf]

I want it but price to piece ratio is bad

[floral marten]

I do get that but I’m giving them some leeway for the double sided printed photos. Plus it wasn’t a lot of money to spend. Waiting for a vip 2x would be a decent idea though

[cerulean wharf]

How often do they do those

[floral marten]

2x weekends happen a few times a year

[cerulean wharf]

Cause I really want the Polaroid, but double points would make that price to piece more appealing

[arctic notch]

Happens like 5-7 times a year for me

Shooting at Lego store here today 😦

Lego Batman wasn’t here to save us

[safe jackal]

I can finally sleep normally now

[sonic mirage]

you better have a case for it cus cleaning the dust off it 🥲

[safe jackal]

Of course I do

I may get a bigger one to display both the old and and new one

[arctic notch]

X2 Lego vip points this weekend for us in Canada

[floral marten]

Ooo, well if that’s the case I think I should peruse the store

And there is a year of the dragon gwp for spending $110 cad

I feel like getting a bunch of botanical stuff. Tiny plants, orchid, succulents. Although probably only 2 of the sets

[sonic mirage]

Finally unpacked some more lego that I haven't had the chance of unpacking yet

I still have some left

[safe sierra]

Lego Porg lol

[sonic mirage]

The BB-8 was alot harder to get then the porg ngl

I need to get alot more shelves tho

but money 🥲

[arctic notch]

This is perfect , such a nice display

[arctic notch]

Yea I missed out on bb8

[sonic mirage]

I got an insane deal on BB-8 post retirement

140 euro

Just like I got MBS Cloud city for MSRP after retirement

Mint sealed in box

[cerulean wharf]

This was like $70 at Costco

[floral marten]

What’s retail?

[cerulean wharf]

Around $90 I think

[sonic mirage]

Costco has nice deals they used to have the Boba's throne room for 40$

Always worth checking when you are there

[safe jackal]

2 beauty’s right here

[sonic mirage]

Damn nice

[safe jackal]

2 more Lego boxes in the back left corner

[cerulean wharf]

A technic set

Mars Rover set & Polaroid camera set

[sonic mirage]

The camera ain't technic tho

that's ideas

Also to everybody don't forget to scan the QR code on your manuals with the Lego build app for 20 free points

[cerulean wharf]

I know that

The camera is overpriced af

But I got it

[sonic mirage]

It ain't that bad

[floral marten]

It’s a nice set though

[cerulean wharf]

Yes which is why I got it

It'll look great on the shelf

[floral marten]

I have mine on my desk!

[arctic notch]

Gotta get myself a display

[cerulean wharf]

somehow my partner ended up getting to build it even though I bought it for myself
still not sure how that happened...

[floral marten]

Did they enjoy the build at least?

[cerulean wharf]

She is having a lot of fun

i guess thats whats important 🥲

[floral marten]

The solution is clearly more Lego! Perhaps the dune ornithopter!

And yes it’s good she is enjoying it

[arctic notch]

Lego technic mercedes F1 car!!

[floral marten]

They had one of those before but I know a new model is coming

Oh it was a McLaren before

[cerulean wharf]

I have decided I'm not a big fan of building technic

I feel like I have to squish a lot of the connectors to get them to actually fit

[floral marten]

I loved technic as a kid because of all the functionality but these days I def prefer the architecture, icons, and ideas ranges

[sonic mirage]

The one reason i hated building r2d2

My fingers just hurt

[floral marten]

Try the world map for finger pain!

10240 1x1 round tiles

[cerulean wharf]

The pain is real

That's a whole lotta no thanks 😂

[cerulean wharf]

Finished!

[arctic notch]

big year for lego star wars this year, so many display sets

also the dune set

the telephone box overpriced though

overpriced

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/talking-sorting-hat-76429 i gotta give them this one though, talking lego

[sonic mirage]

it connects to diagon alley tho 😭

I have wanted it sooo bad

Also you getting a better deal then me with my euro's

converted I pay 623,66 Canadian

you pay 386.09 euro

I miss seeing my Diagon alley on the shelf at my moms cus I rarely go there since living on my own

[arctic notch]

We add 13% tax on top

Is that still cheaper ?

Ik EU and UK VAT is included in price

[sonic mirage]

our tax is 21%

😂

[arctic notch]

Oh so ours with tax is still less than yours ?

[sonic mirage]

probably

I feel like its dumb when tax is added afterward instead of directly into the price cus well just easier

[arctic notch]

Ikr

Sooo annoying

Especially at restaurants

[cerulean wharf]

Finally finished Discovery

[floral marten]

Discovery is a fav of mine

[arctic notch]

Omg it looks so nice in the display

[valid narwhal]

My son lego that he built. I may test him on the more advance build. Just some of his collection.

[cerulean wharf]

Time to give him some UCS sets

[sonic mirage]

UCS falcon time

[sonic mirage]

opinions of march wave?

[floral marten]

I want the mini falcon since I don’t have anything Lego Star Wars

Few other sets would be nice as well but I don’t have room!

[arctic notch]

Waiting for a x2 points

Most likely may Star Wars promo

[floral marten]

Ya waiting for 2x points is always a good idea

[sonic mirage]

Yea it always is then lego feels slightly less like a rip off in price

[safe sierra]

Walmart had the ATTE on clearance for 115 😅

But i dont have the space for it rn

I still need to build the X-Wing i got a while back lolol

[sonic mirage]

Just buy keep in box xD

[safe sierra]

i coulddddd lol

I do want the ATTE at somepoint lolol

[sonic mirage]

the newly leaked star wars sets are lit asf

Sith infiltrator and barc speeder with grogu

[safe sierra]

Ooooooo

[safe jackal]

If that sith infiltrator set had padme and the other guard figure would be a perfect set

[sonic mirage]

tbf at that point add young obi wan too

[valid narwhal]

Son now building a Lamborghini Countach and already found a piece missing from the set (It's not going to hold him back). I need to look at the booklet because he can't figure why the rear of the vehicle is not snapping in place. i think this set is a little to much for him. He been struggling with it.

[sonic mirage]

yea sometimes it happens where it's either a missing piece or a wrongly followed instruction I have it happen to me quite a bit to be honest 😂

[valid narwhal]

Found the missing piece. So far this is where he got. Continues with the front end then I go back and see why the rear is not mating over.

[valid narwhal]

Finally done

[floral marten]

Looks very familiar! And the joy of sticker placement huh

[sonic mirage]

tbf what I do is put the sticker on the brick seperator and just put it on the pieces gently

[arctic notch]

As well as 4 more anniversary minifig

[arctic notch]

This build was so fun, same with the 812 comp

[floral marten]

I have decal tweezers I got for decorating gundam so that’s what I use

[valid narwhal]

My son just finish building the Go-Karts 60400 and the Harry Potter Flying Ford Anglia 76424. I did not buy him any lego yesterday since i got him Mario, Luigi and Bowser plushies. I may end up getting him more lego's this week.

[sonic mirage]

😂

everytime I walk into the store that sells lego I am tempted to buy EVERYTHING

[valid narwhal]

He is expanding fast with his collection.

[arctic notch]

Frrr

I haven’t been in a computer parts store in months for that very reason

[sonic mirage]

Yea it is that we dont got smth like microcenter here

[valid narwhal]

Just picked up the City Penguin Slushy van 60384

[sonic mirage]

I am eyeing the Driodeka for May 4th and the tantive hallway

[sonic mirage]

Holy shit balls

That after seeing this reviewed https://falconbricks.com/news/lego-75381-buildable-droideka/

https://www.lego.com/product/tie-interceptor-75382

[arctic notch]

I’ll get this over X wing thank you very much

[sonic mirage]

nice nice especially the P1 cody

[safe sierra]

Those arent legos

[arctic notch]

WRONG THREAD OOPS

[arctic notch]

tyty

[arctic notch]

yaaa loved that

i do appreciate the soft fabric pauldrons, less bulky and they cant fit better side by side

[safe sierra]

Youre welcome lol

[cerulean wharf]

Damn. I'm gonna have to buy this when it comes out

[sonic mirage]

is that an airport?

AGAIN

Yup an airport AGAIN

how tf you taking that with on a plane

[cerulean wharf]

it'll fit in the overhead bin...

[sonic mirage]

basically everybody I know has carry on already 😂

[cerulean wharf]

leave the carryon at the airport
lego is more important

[sonic mirage]

xD

[cerulean wharf]

well you get 2 carryon

[sonic mirage]

Not here

just 1

[cerulean wharf]

i flew this past weekend and checked a bag and brought a backpack on board with me

really?

damn
we get 1 carry on and 1 personal item

carry on goes in overhead bin
personal item gets stuffed under the seat in front of you

[sonic mirage]

I had to put my backpack under the seat infront of me cus the overhead was already full before

so let alone with that big of a set

😂

[floral marten]

Same, I have a bunch of the other space stuff so I just gotta

[cerulean wharf]

oh yeah
some of the airlines here will ask ahead of boarding if anyone wants to check their carry on in exchange for a more priority boarding position

i've done that a couple times
works out great

cause if you're boarding group is at the end, there is a chance you'll have to get bag checked anyways since full flights tend to run out of overhead space

[cerulean wharf]

mhm
i need all the nasa collection

[floral marten]

Ya I have the Saturn V, lunar lander, discovery + Hubble, and ISS

I don’t have the rover nor the mars probe gwp

[cerulean wharf]

I need mars probe

[cerulean wharf]

The rover is cool but a PITA to build

And by PITA I really mean a pain in the fingers

Ouchy

[floral marten]

I raise you the world map

10240 1x1 circular plates

[sonic mirage]

Do you got ulysses yet?

[cerulean wharf]

Not for that price

[sonic mirage]

I have one sib

I got it just to resell later on

[sonic mirage]

Be jealous

Not allowed to sell stuff on Corsair discord so sorry

[arctic notch]

Need omg

[cerulean wharf]

Shipping from Europe would kill any value anyway

[sonic mirage]

Actually its not that much cus of the size and weight

Its like 15 bucks tracked

[sonic mirage]

And if sent as a gift it's tax free upto 250 euro or like a billion dollars

[sonic mirage]

The GWP's looking good ngl

for star wars week that is

The droid troop carrier gonna be goated highkey

[cerulean wharf]

Hmmm

[safe sierra]

Hmmmmmmmmmm

[arctic notch]

Ohh damnnnn

[cunning canyon]

First thing I see: Inflatable thingy hanging

[sonic mirage]

10 bucks off msrp not a good deal

It will probably hit 69.99 in a month or 2

[cerulean wharf]

i honestly haven't seen lego get discounted at costco lately

some of them sell through pretty quick

other times they just sit at original price and the stock slowly dwindles until you only find a handful scattered across random shelves

also costco has it for $20 less than lego.com in the states

[sonic mirage]

Aah yea valid

Just give it 3 months after release for generally the best price

And also it should get 4x points during may 4th week

Making it the same price

[cerulean wharf]

Oops I bought it anyways

The gf wanted it

🥲

[sonic mirage]

Buckled under the pressure

🥲

[cerulean wharf]

Gonna have her hold off on opening it until 5/4

I'll see if I can come up with $160 of Star wars sets I want instead

Of course I could always order the same set from lego.com and return that to Costco if she wants to build the r2d2 sooner 🤔

[safe sierra]

Podrace diorama looks neat

[floral marten]

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/the-milky-way-galaxy-31212

I’m a sucker for space and art sets

[arctic notch]

Yea get battle packs and then the small dioramas if u don’t have already

1 UCS + diorama

[cerulean wharf]

Uhhhh

Sure 😂

[tacit forum]

I'm gonna pick up the UCS Millennium Falcon before it retires

[sonic mirage]

It probably wont retire anytime soon as they mentioned in interviews its a evergreen set at this point once it retires it will be replaced

[sonic mirage]

That color brown scares me

Iykyk

[tacit forum]

either way, gonna get my hands on it

[sonic mirage]

https://brickshow.com/2018/12/problem-lego-reddish-brown-bricks

[tacit forum]

don't slander the classics just bc of the old brown

[sonic mirage]

Not slandering it just scares me knowing how fragile it is

😭

Its known to break

[tacit forum]

They're durable enough, all my old sets are alive and well

[sonic mirage]

Lucky

I am scared of my mtt

Cus its all redishbrown

🥲

[tacit forum]

that one is fine, my sandcrawler is also fine and that's a LOT of brown

[sonic mirage]

Its a color that scares most afols

The ucs slave 1 originally came with the fragile reddish brown too same with the newer ucs sandcrawler

[tacit forum]

i mean at the end of the day the adults buying these sets are just displaying them, so it's kind of a nonissue, not like they're getting playwear anymore

[sonic mirage]

Even putting em together they can break

Its very fragile

The dye with the plastic made a reaction that weakens the polymer bonds in the plastic making it super brittle

[tacit forum]

I mean, these are my childhood sets, they got plenty of playwear and I'm just rebuilding them again and they're still fine, I imagine the parts that break are few and far between

[sonic mirage]

Its mainly larger pieces

Like horses, plates, 4x4>

[tacit forum]

well ig I'll be slightly more careful with my reddish browns now lol

[sonic mirage]

Lego will replace it if you message em tho

Which is nice but it takes like 6 weeks for replacements

[tacit forum]

on par for Lego customer service

[sonic mirage]

And for special pieces they might ask money

Someone i know had the 16x8 corner piece break of the ucs slave 1 costed em 6 bucks for a replacement

Cus they stopped producing the piece

[tacit forum]

better than not being able to get one at all though

I'm kinda stuck between the AT-AT and the Falcon now

I feel like the Falcon looks better overall

[sonic mirage]

At at is apparently retiring

But i aint sure if u gonna buy a big set from star wars get it with may 4th or black friday or double vip

[tacit forum]

Yeah wednesday 5/1 it starts

Im probably getting the falcon, I won't lose sleep if i miss that at-at tbh

[sonic mirage]

It is that i dont got at-at money cus its a damn nice build

[arctic notch]

I have, gotta save everything for ATAT

[tacit forum]

I'm so upset, no insider points bonus on the ucs falcon. I'm just not gonna bother then

[sonic mirage]

AT-AT with 170 off tho

ONLY ONLINE which I hate

If you getting anything get the Cantina

it's slated to retire anytime

[tacit forum]

I ain't getting jack shit, I wanted the falcon and they boned me

very few sets with 4x points, then we got a bunch with 2x points, then we get this

[floral marten]

that's so many more discounts than we get in Canada. I only see Ghost & Phantom II, Chewbacca, and the Throne Room Diorama

but we are getting 4x points on AT-AT, Cantina, X-Wing, Gunship, and E-wing v starfighter

[sonic mirage]

🥲

yea normally we get shafted here

[floral marten]

I'm thinking of pod racer diorama and mini falcon and hope that gets me all the GWP

[tacit forum]

I only have those in US as well

[sonic mirage]

160 euro to get all the Gifts with purchase

[floral marten]

it's 210 cad here for every GWP but the two I mentioned come to 209.98 which hopefully qualifies

guess I'll find out tomorrow!

[sonic mirage]

highly likely especially if you go to a physical store

which is what I am doing

doing 2 transactions with points

[floral marten]

Online for me since the closest Lego store is a bit far

[sonic mirage]

else add a keychain

but you should be fine iirc

[floral marten]

I’m trying to keep it under 213cad so I can use up the remainder of my prepaid bonus card from work

Bonus / employee recognition thing

[sonic mirage]

that's valid

[cerulean wharf]

i think I've landed on $200 USD for my order

[cerulean wharf]

Bruh

[floral marten]

well of course it's under high demand

I'm not seeing the GWP being added to my cart... then again the cart is acting a bit funky

[arctic notch]

now we wait

[cerulean wharf]

It's so broken

I've tried checking out thrice

[floral marten]

"SORRY AN UNEXPECTED ERROR OCCURED"

[cerulean wharf]

Keeps breaking

[floral marten]

maybe I'll just do this in the morning, should be easier then

my cart is also apparently in a state of quantum superposition as it both contains 2 items and contains 0 items

[cerulean wharf]

Mine went from 6 to 0 and now broken at 0

[arctic notch]

i already avoided the 12am rush

and here i am thinking 15mins later itll be fine

[cerulean wharf]

I've been trying for the last 15 minutes

-.-

[floral marten]

ya this is quite broken

[arctic notch]

itll be a long night boys

but we gotta stay strong

[floral marten]

well it worked briefly for a moment and at least confirmed what I wanted. I managed to add both things I wanted without error and I got the qualifies for all the gwp prompt... now it shows nothing in my cart but one step at a time

[cerulean wharf]

No sleep till I am separated from my money

[floral marten]

or... nm, all those previous attempts at clicking and it showing nothing actually did add stuff to my cart... so it thought I had like 7 things added

[arctic notch]

IM IN

[floral marten]

yep, now you get to experience the jank we are

[cerulean wharf]

Now my cart is fucked

[arctic notch]

lmfao just felt it

and were back to square 1

[cerulean wharf]

Do I want the gunship

[arctic notch]

its worth

just reskin it

[cerulean wharf]

It's 4x points
And had a sale

But I don't really want a gunship

[cerulean wharf]

Thank fuck

[arctic notch]

GG!

[floral marten]

congrats

[cerulean wharf]

Been a ride y'all

Good luck

[arctic notch]

itgs so nice all the sets were 2x now

i got shafted one year when the new release ones were not 2x

[floral marten]

ya I think I'll just try again in the morning as I really need to sleep soon and this site is still under too much load

oh and I'm back in the queue

ya, I'm heading to bed and hope it works in the morning! good luck

[arctic notch]

yea the carts are still broken af

[arctic notch]

an hour wasted gg will try in AM

[sonic mirage]

Always happens

I am going to the store

Its nice weather

Sad i dont got friends coming along

[sonic mirage]

Got the bag

@heady lion where ur lego at bro

[heady lion]

Idk

[floral marten]

What did you pick up?

And ya placed an order this morning and it was fine

[sonic mirage]

Tie interceptor, sith infiltrator + gwps

[sonic mirage]

The haul

[past orbit]

Your now in sandbox mode with all of those Lego sets!

[sonic mirage]

Nah

[floral marten]

I got mini falcon, pod race diorama, and discounted darth maul keychain to get all the GWP

[tacit forum]

I said fuck it and got this before it retires even though i'm still mad about the Falcon

[floral marten]

what about the falcon? and which falcon

[tacit forum]

the UCS falcon, was going to buy it but it got no points bonus

[arctic notch]

Same

[arctic notch]

2 separate visits I see

2 polybags haha

[arctic notch]

Yea even razor crest didn’t have points bonus

I managed to secure back order ATAT

[sonic mirage]

2 transactions yes

I did ask

[arctic notch]

Oooo imma do tht rn

At Lego

Getting ATAT in person so I can cancel the online order

[sonic mirage]

cus I wanted to use points to get the sith infiltrator basically for 6 bucks 😂

sometimes if you go in person and do a big purchase they will give you more then 1x the gwp if they feeling nice

@arctic notch

[arctic notch]

Looool

[arctic notch]

Yeah cause like last time they asked if I wanted to redeem points and I said no cause I wanted to be eligible for the discount but they said oh no you can still get points.

So they were able to apply the discount while giving me the purchase criteria for the items

[sonic mirage]

nice

[sonic mirage]

You will always get points even after using points for discounts

but sometimes they give you extra gifts with purchase like the droid carrier cus it's a big purchase

[cerulean wharf]

No time to go to the store today 😭

[arctic notch]

i meant the min purchase, like if its 50$ online and you use a code you fall below min spend, but at the store they waive that requirement and give gift based on original price

[sonic mirage]

mhm

[arctic notch]

that was bigger than i expected

slightly bigger than mclaren

[sonic mirage]

in store they tend to be pretty relaxed luckily

[arctic notch]

maybe its just the looks

[arctic notch]

yea

[tacit forum]

I wanted the other coin as well, so here we are

[arctic notch]

Hahah i saw that so i got it on my first online bulk order 😂

[cerulean wharf]

Fuck

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/nasa-apollo-lunar-roving-vehicle-lrv-42182

I have to build more technic 😭

[floral marten]

ya I saw that the other day, it looks like a good set to add to the nasa stuff

[arctic notch]

Bit the bullet and got the X wing too

4x points can’t pass up

[sonic mirage]

@tacit forum @arctic notch @cerulean wharf ^

[tacit forum]

meh, waiting on Cal Kestis in that death star set coming in august

[sonic mirage]

Haven't heard that rumour around

Tbf I would be stoked if we got the mantis but we will never get it D:

[arctic notch]

omg i need this

the white mandos

[sonic mirage]

Stormtroopers 💀

[cerulean wharf]

Why are they releasing new Star wars sets in June 😭

[tacit forum]

Price not confirmed, picture of an old set not the rumored one

[sonic mirage]

Cus they spreading em out more

[sonic mirage]

Just rumours all we can do is hope

[floral marten]

Was the tie on 2x before? I think that’s new for today and tomorrow

Although I have like $180ish in points… perhaps I should get the x-wing at 4x points…

[sonic mirage]

it always was 2x here

and yea go get the Xwing if you have the Tie

perfect combo

[floral marten]

I don't have the tie, was just confused then because the site says get 2x points 5/4 - 5/5 on it. whereas the other ones say 5/1 - 5/5

[arctic notch]

Current day countdown

Vs promo period

[floral marten]

Other sets still show the full date range though… was just odd. But still debating getting the x-wing

[arctic notch]

Bad reviews due to flimsy, but 4x is hard to pass up

Justifies it

Get some $$$ back essentially

[floral marten]

I think I’ll probably pass. I have nothing UCS at the moment and the mini falcon and pod race set will be my first Star Wars sets

Going to save money for the Milky Way and lunar rover

[sonic mirage]

Tbf it's a display set so put it down and let it sit but I won't judge you if you wanna swoosh it around

[arctic notch]

You already know 😂😂😂

[sonic mirage]

I also still have a packed UCS A-wing

But the one I really wanna swoosh is the star destroyer I have 😂

[tacit forum]

Also getting my bread up

[sonic mirage]

damn

richy rich

[tacit forum]

FCK IT WE BALL

Lego screwed me so I unscrewed myself, Facebook marketplace NISB $350

[safe sierra]

Gib rn

[sonic mirage]

Nice

Yea i ordered mine last year cus i knew it would retire

[tacit forum]

I was just shook bc it's under MSRP after retirement which is crazy

[sonic mirage]

Box damage :/

[tacit forum]

im opening idc lol

and then torching the box

we dont keep boxes in this house

[sonic mirage]

Yea i dont save my boxes either but some do

[tacit forum]

yeah I don't get that tbh, I might just for something super expensive like the Falcon but that's about it

[cerulean wharf]

stunning

[tacit forum]

also this got buried the other day but I just set this up, thank you Darkflame for reviving my childhood

[arctic notch]

Hahaha W

[floral marten]

My Star Wars stuff showed up!

[floral marten]

Think I’ll do the falcon first

[tacit forum]

Dang, about to finish my gunship and for I think the first time in my life I actually have a missing piece

[sonic mirage]

I had a missing piece once they put a different piece in the bag then what i needed

[tacit forum]

It looks so far like it's just straight up gone, usually I'd just say I'm tweaking and dig around more and find it, but I looked everywhere, back in the box in all the open bags etc, nothin. Time to wait a while for the replacement to come in

[floral marten]

Lego is really good about replacement parts though. I had some missing from the Saturn V

[tacit forum]

Yeah it's nice that you just put it in and they send it free

[arctic notch]

oooo i cant wait to see the diaramas

[arctic notch]

even minifigs, they just ask for POP and the instruction book as its serial numbered

had an AAT back in the day that was missing ALL the minifigs from factory

[floral marten]

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/notre-dame-de-paris-21061

I'm sensing a theme

[tacit forum]

that's a really nice architecture set

[floral marten]

ya I'm going to get it for sure... during a 2x event

[solemn peak]

I won a Lego Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter from a May 4th giveaway. Excited to get it.

[floral marten]

It’s done!

[cerulean wharf]

my sets haven't even shipped yet

[floral marten]

Mine shipped out Thursday and arrived yesterday

[tacit forum]

I ordered mine at midnight on 5/1 so it came real quick lol

my second order is on backorder though

[floral marten]

I gave up at like 12:30 with all the cart issues

[cerulean wharf]

same

well i got the order bonus rewards but the actual sets i paid for havent shipped lmao

and they weren't backordered or anything, at least in the semibroken UI of the site when i was placing my order

[floral marten]

That’s strange… wonder why they shipped separately

[sonic mirage]

Yea sometimes their system gets backed up and the api has to catch up due to too many requests

[cerulean wharf]

Yeah this is what I'm thinking

[sonic mirage]

it happens especially on star wars week

it's just one of those things just like with steam summer sale

it will crash in the first 20 or so minutes

[arctic notch]

[sonic mirage]

Vroom vroom they look nice

[floral marten]

https://www.lego.com/en-ca/product/retro-radio-10334

not quite sure how it works yet but you can put your phone in it and it looks like you can tune stations

[sonic mirage]

it has a sound brick

[floral marten]

right but I thought those just added sound effects?

[sonic mirage]

they do but you can indd put your phone in it too

[floral marten]

the video implies you can change music by turning the dial

[sonic mirage]

you might be able

[floral marten]

actually now that I think about it they are probably running an app and then the dial moves a capacitive thing across the screen to interact with the app

although the promo shot shows the phone going screen out so I have no idea

[sonic mirage]

idk either we will see when more stuff comes out about it

[floral marten]

that we shall, I'm def curious about it

[cerulean wharf]

i've been tasked with buying this once it comes out

there are 2 or 3 sets I need to get in the next 2 months

1. NASA SLS
2. radio
3. tuxedo cat (maybe)

[sonic mirage]

if only I had that amount of money

[cerulean wharf]

well

the sets not for me might be saved as bday/xmas gifts for my partner

and I have $100 of lego rewards to use

the SLS is non-negotiable to get

the others I don't have to get

[sonic mirage]

unless if you want the wife to get mad 😂

[cerulean wharf]

the ring she wants is like $3.5k 😵‍💫

[sonic mirage]

eh we never said having a wife would be cheap

😂

[cerulean wharf]

I'd rather get her $3500 of LEGO and a PC lmao

[sonic mirage]

Atleast it would be useful

just get her a onion ring

functional and fun

[arctic notch]

Just got the Kawasaki at Costco

30$ off

Waiting to find the F1 Mercedes in Costco too, 40$ off compared to Lego

[sonic mirage]

Nice

[floral marten]

@arctic notch diorama is done

[arctic notch]

Beautiful

I love it

[floral marten]

Ya I’m pleased with how it turned out.

[sonic mirage]

Now this is podracing!

[arctic notch]

Still waiting on the Mercedes up in Canada

Time to add @tardy shoal to this thread cope with it

[tardy shoal]

christ

[cerulean wharf]

What

Oh it's Artemis day

[sonic mirage]

Nah no lord of the rings?

Sadge

[cerulean wharf]

Meh

I've seen it once 2 years ago

[sonic mirage]

[tardy shoal]

this could be us but you playin'

https://www.lego.com/en-fi/product/traditional-chess-set-40719
also I kinda want this

[tacit forum]

nah they gotta bring back this bad boy https://www.amazon.com/Lego-Castle-852293-GIANT-Chess/dp/B001I37RSQ

[tardy shoal]

the 2017 version had double the pieces

[sonic mirage]

fun fact my partner would buy me lego just to watch me build it 🙈

@tardy shoal which to build

[tardy shoal]

both

[sonic mirage]

can only do 1 of the 2

Not both

atleast not today

[tardy shoal]

then the left one ig

and rightmost tomorrow

[sonic mirage]

Sith infiltrator

it will probably take me a couple days to finish just the 1

😅

just gotta charge my laptop so I can watch a show while building

[sonic mirage]

And so it begins

The setup

@tardy shoal

[tardy shoal]

ooooo wowz
sorry im super late night studying again but ill check here from time to time

11pm shenanigans

[sonic mirage]

Valid valid

[tardy shoal]

@sonic mirage what's the status?

how's the process

[sonic mirage]

I am taking a break at bag 4

Brain ded

Gotta love adhd

[tardy shoal]

oh yeah relax for as long as you need to

lego are exhausting

[safe sierra]

Yes they are lol

I have yet to put my Xwing together 😂

[floral marten]

I probably should have waited but I decided to get the Milky Way using some VIP points and some money left on a work bonus card.

Based on typical Lego shipping I may get it tomorrow but could also be Tuesday with the holiday on Monday

[arctic notch]

Long weekend yes

[floral marten]

I also took tomorrow off for an extra long one

[tardy shoal]

are there are battle ship/frigate/even supercarrier lego sets available or coming soon? big or small, don't care really haha. (it's been years since I've last bought any lego set.) saw this nato ship sitting at my local dock and got a surge of inspiration. money isn't an issue

also yes, there's the star wars frigate but that doesn't really fulfill my needs lmao

[safe sierra]

i dont think so?

🤔

[tardy shoal]

as in right now, the 60368 is the closest one that came to mind (pic attached (815 bricks, 175€))

but it's well, yeah. an arctic explorer

[sonic mirage]

Titonic

Lego used to make this too but it's very old and uses the redish brown that is brittle

No. 10241 if u curious

[sonic mirage]

Huge pieces tend to drive up cost alot the hull is 1 giant injection molded piece

And Lego themselves doesn't do irl war related stuff the closest to it was indiana jones back in the day and now star wars but that's fiction mainly

[floral marten]

They even made a v22 osprey and some got out to the public before the set was cancelled before release

The model was to be a sorta search and rescuer version but even so since there was a connection to military they pulled it.

They also typically wouldn’t do religious sets. Although the new notre dame set skirts that.

So ya, you won’t get military ships at all from them

[sonic mirage]

Notre dame is on the world inheritance list iirc

[floral marten]

Yes there are plausible reasons it could be included given it’s the architecture theme

[floral marten]

Well my Milky Way set is in town but doesn’t seem like it’ll be going out for delivery today

[tardy shoal]

sheesh

[sonic mirage]

I was at the lego store today

I wanted to buy all the star wars

but no money

D:

I did get a pick a brick box

with a bunch of transparent pieces to make my sets "float" on display

[tardy shoal]

ooooo cool!

we have this one teeny tiny lego shop around here and its always such a thrill to go to

[sonic mirage]

I got a bunch of these

normally 42 cents a pop

I think I got like 30-40 in that small box

[tardy shoal]

but lego prices + finland prices + vat 25,5% is kinda obnoxious at times

[tardy shoal]

stonks

[sonic mirage]

the box itself costs 10,99

[sonic mirage]

I pay 21%

[sonic mirage]

Just in those pieces alone I made profit

took me a solid 10 minutes getting everything in such a little box

always worth checking pick-a-brick wall

sometimes there are good pieces in there

[tardy shoal]

uhuh

so are you like reselling those singular bricks for higher price etc?

this is all new to me please be gentle

[sonic mirage]

but you gotta take your time putting the pieces in a box properly

Nah I needed em for display

😂

[tardy shoal]

ah

[sonic mirage]

so I can make stuff "fly"

[tardy shoal]

my interest has been piqued

[sonic mirage]

well u know

some ships just look better when in flight mode

Xwing for example

it also allows me to free up space below stuff

I also got some of these

for bigger stuff

normally you cannot get these pieces in like a mix box you have to get rather lucky

I also got some random pieces

to sprinkle in 😂

but it's tactic

you gotta like spread stuff and like put it in positions

[safe sierra]

glass panelsssssssssssssss

[sonic mirage]

but I forgot it at my mom's so 🥲

Cus these acrylic stands cool and all but expensive asf

[safe sierra]

that Xwing reminds me of the one i still havent put together

[sonic mirage]

And raising this tantive iv gives me space under it to put stuff

[safe sierra]

i wanna eventually get Razor Crest or an LAAT at somepoint

[sonic mirage]

They should re release the LAAT like from 2007

Its goated

[safe sierra]

i really think we need more LAAT variants in general tbh

[sonic mirage]

so @tardy shoal u understand now 😂

[safe sierra]

i want one of the vehicle transport LAATs 👀

[tardy shoal]

are there any older lego LAAT's? cuz i could have sworn I used to own one as a kid
and it certainly was not 399€ or whatever they are currently asking for one

it was on the smaller side

[sonic mirage]

sorry I thought you meant something else

[safe sierra]

i believe there was?

[sonic mirage]

but you mean a gunship

😂

[safe sierra]

yes

[sonic mirage]

My head was thinking of an MTT

I WANT AN MTT

like in 2007

I own the 2007 version 🙈

[safe sierra]

oh mannn that would be neat to have in a bigger version lol

im seeing one for 6k?!

[sonic mirage]

the 2007 version is the best version they released

I got a UCS republic gunship in my collection

[safe sierra]

this one yeah?

[tardy shoal]

THERE WAS ONE

[sonic mirage]

7662

[tardy shoal]

7163-1 released in 2002

omg the nostalgia hitting hard

[safe sierra]

then yes lol since thats the image that i copied from google

[tardy shoal]

i used to play with it all the time

[safe sierra]

i thought we had a newer LAAT 🤔

[sonic mirage]

Bro got the Jedi bob

[sonic mirage]

STOP CALLING IT LAAT

CALL IT BY ITS NAME

THE ACCEPTED NAME

[safe sierra]

that is its name

[sonic mirage]

[safe sierra]

its called the LAAT Gunship

[sonic mirage]

REPUBLIC GUNSHIP

[tardy shoal]

i just googled lego old republic gunship and it was there omg

[safe sierra]

😂

fine ill compromise

LAAT Republic Gunship

[tardy shoal]

the one I had is now 700€ on ebay

imma get it cuz nostalgia factor

[sonic mirage]

75354 is the newest GUNSHIP

[sonic mirage]

Get it without figs

via bricklink

trust me

[tardy shoal]

idk who is bricklink

lmao jk okok

I think

[sonic mirage]

Jedi bob and the metalic super battle droids make it that much

[safe sierra]

is that the Corsucant Gaurd one? 🤔

[sonic mirage]

Bricklink is THE 3rd party seller from the community

[safe sierra]

i saw a Corsucant Guard Gunship at walmart a while back

[tardy shoal]

oh, huh, is there any particular reason for that?

[sonic mirage]

Rarity

[tardy shoal]

why are lego things this interesting

theres rarity!?

rabbit hole moment

[sonic mirage]

Jedi bob the unnamed jedi in that set is very beloved

[safe sierra]

yes 🤣

there is in fact rarities to Lego

somehow

[sonic mirage]

mainly older stuff

when it didn't do so well or got lost by time

[tardy shoal]

if I get my hands on the kit I had as a kid should I keep the expensive dude?
like if I go visit my childhood home and find it

[safe sierra]

Hogwarts Castle for instance 😅

the uh

[tardy shoal]

bob or whoevs he was

[safe sierra]

600$? set i think

[sonic mirage]

Rotsac

[tardy shoal]

yes, hi

[sonic mirage]

you are triggering me so bad

[tardy shoal]

zamn

[sonic mirage]

🥲

https://brickranker.com/rankings/minifigures/star-wars

[tardy shoal]

but like on a serious note with zero judging me, should I keep him?

[sonic mirage]

obviously

😂

[tardy shoal]

interesting

but, hes just a tiny plastic dude with a lego lightsaber
why would people want him?

brother this community is something else

[sonic mirage]

I actually got a Smooth hair leia

Molding mistake

[tardy shoal]

id assume thats rare

[safe sierra]

very

[tardy shoal]

ok im starting to trigger myself

HAHA

[sonic mirage]

313 euro~

[safe sierra]

some things arent nearly as common as others

molding mistakes are easily some of the more rare finds iirc

[sonic mirage]

it was in a specific run

[safe sierra]

its like doubleprinted pokemon or something

[sonic mirage]

but they got out until they noticed and fixed it

[safe sierra]

^Quality Control lacking at their job

[sonic mirage]

I own some rare figures

just cus they old

@tardy shoal https://brickranker.com/rankings/minifigures/sw0056/super-battle-droid-metal-blue

[tardy shoal]

oh yeah I had two of those blue funny looking fellas

[sonic mirage]

The problem with them is the connections tend to snap

so if they still mint you can fetch a pretty penny

[tardy shoal]

i can guarantee you they arent going to be mint if ever found. I used to take that set everywhere, play with it while eating etc. my best bet is that they have specks of ketchup and boogers all over them

at one point they were skateboarding

fun times

[sonic mirage]

if they ain't snapped

that devalues em most

[tardy shoal]

but who in their right mind would pay like over one dollar for something like that? i used to play with them like normal and not think much of them

[sonic mirage]

Collectors

[tardy shoal]

interesting

interesting people with interesting tastes

[sonic mirage]

it happens with comics too

and funko's

and anything

heck stamps

[tardy shoal]

idk im just into philately and model trains

but i get it yeah

[sonic mirage]

Me turning you slowly over to lego

[tardy shoal]

I used to own one funko pop, it was the orange ball robot from the newer-ish star wars films

i had it inside my pc at one point

[sonic mirage]

bb-8 yea

[tardy shoal]

one day I heard there are people with funko pops who will never take the figurines out of the boxes

thats just wild to me

they build walls out of those funko boxes

but yeah we may be getting derailed here

back to lego

[sonic mirage]

I have some in plastic covers 🙈

[tardy shoal]

now thats interesting

[sonic mirage]

lil sleeves

to keep em from sundamaging

[tardy shoal]

oh right, I used to collect football cards and pokemon cards younger and I had to purchase those plastic sleeves for them

but i didnt really think much of em, just put the subjectively coolest ones into the films

[sonic mirage]

I just care for my collection 🙈

like for some of my biggest sets I want cases

to keep em dust free and stuff

[tardy shoal]

ah yes. now I must inform you that I need to go continue my nocturnal studies

also I need to let all this new lego knowledge sink in

[sonic mirage]

😂

[safe sierra]

[sonic mirage]

@tardy shoal so i had some lego at my moms

Cus thats how much i had before i moved out of my old place

So this is sitting in my hallway now

[tardy shoal]

ooooooooooo

that's half of my monthly rent right there

[sonic mirage]

Same
