We can talk about my swastika avatar now if everyone wants. Is anyone looking to pick up the firehouse? I have one I finished, and I tossed the instructions, but it's taking up space for my not-yet-built Slave I.

On a side note, I'm moving and would love to sell my firehouse with box and instructions, UCS tie fighter, UCS red 5, palace cinema, last gen millennium falcon, ecto 1, and a lot of loose bricks. I'm in Seattle, can ship, or local pickup PM me.

Just got a big lot of Lego Friends pieces from goodwill to bulk out my pastel/non-bold color collection. Those ads always get a lot less attention for whatever reason, I guess the "girly" colors? Anyway, it's pushed me over the threshold of storing bins by piece type - 2x4 bricks, long 1x6/8/10/12 flats (plates? idk), etc. Now I think I am going to switch to bins by color with ziploc bags for the main piece types. My lady has no interest in lego itself, but she geeked out bigtime when I offhandedly mentioned trying to figure out a new organizational strategy. (she has a big carefully curated craft room for paper/cutting/seweing etc). It's frustrating when I want to explore a little building idea but I spend 25 minutes wrestling with tubs and bags gathering the pieces I want - I'm hoping color is a more logical first sorting than type, at least for the basic bricks.

I think you'll regret sorting by color, it's much easier to find a yellow 1x1 in a bin of random 1x1's than a bin of all yellow pieces. Unless you've got so many bricks that you're sorting by brick type AND by color. I only use ziplocs for big pieces (like castle walls) or stuff I don't have enough of to warrant their own bin. I have had issues with going crazy at PAB and getting so many pieces in a single color that they drown out everything else (like travis bricks, I went a little bonkers last time PAB had them and now own a few hundred of them) and in that case I'll split the bulk of it off into its own bin.

Yeah color and type. So a bin of yellows, then in there a ziploc of 1x4 flats, 1x4 bricks, all the little 1x1s in another and so on. Some exceptions but I've got enough color variety and piece variety but not enough space for 5000 little drawers. Before I had all for example all the 2x4s in a tub with ziplocs for the biggest color groups, but I find myself more often building something largely in 1 or 2 colors than I do with 1 or 2 piece types. I'm hoping this means I only need to get out 2-3 color bins instead of 8-10 piece type bins. Either way I'm just avoiding the days of raking through piece piles until my fingernails look like the end of an old clarinet reed.

It's so good man, I bought it for myself for my birthday to commemorate my emergence from my LEGO dark age, and it's probably one of if not the best LEGO set I think I have ever purchased and put together. I'm looking forward to the other UCS stuff this year that isn't an amalgam of battle packs and old sets.

Courtesy of Sinnlos, I now have my own Bric-Vac, not only does it look great on display my daughter loves to use it to pick up her toys. That is a win-win in any situation.

Are the side panels supposed to be so loose? They only connect in two places near the top and the bottom is easily moved. I'm just surprised, given how solid the rest of the build is.

I never noticed it until you mentioned it, probably because mine has been on its stand since construction. There probably wasn't a better way to get that angle with more than two connection points. I was really surprised during the build by how much it just looks like the real thing.

I suppose it depends on your definition of loose but I wouldn't say they are , at least on mine. It's not like a build of solid bricks but they don't really go anywhere.

Still reckon it would look better in red  Fords just don't suit blue! Apologies to the rest of the world though, British Racing Green is the best colour and it's ours forever.

The classic Batmobile is kind of weird. It's pretty big, not really minifig scale, but so far almost all of the Batmobiles have been kind of big. Some of the connections are a little weak, including an "engine" piece in the front and that weird little vent thing in front of the windshields, which is apparently the Bat-Radar. Despite the weak connections, the frame of the vehicle is really thick. It's like a lowrider. There's maybe one tile of clearance between the bottom of the chassis and the ground. Basically it's good for display, which I guess is what they were intending. That and the loving massive amount of stickers associated with the set. There might be more stickers than bricks. But the hubcaps aren't stickers, which is cool. Strife fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Feb 24, 2016 |

Lego seems to have zero problems printing on those 1x1 round tiles.. it must be like minifigs, they have an efficient setup to print whatever crazy idea the designers come up with as long as the base part is in stock.

Are the building instructions for the Lego Dimension sets typically posted online? I would love to build two of those demon dogs from the Ghostbusters set, without having to buy the Dimensions set.

The Batcave only has one more sticker than the Ghostbuster's Firehouse. It's really not some outlandish number.

Right but it's the giant helipad stickers that are kind of daunting. At least with most, if you gently caress it up, they're small enough or surrounded by enough bricks that it doesn't matter.

Here's a question: I really like the look of the 70751 Temple of Airjitzu - the buildings look awesome, and the shadow puppets are a really neat touch; on the other hand I don't really care about the theme or the characters. If I got the set for RRP and then put the minifigs on eBay or Bricklink or w/e, how much do you all think I could get from selling them?

I got the Avenjet for Cpt. Marvel and Iron Man, and have yet to sell any of the other figures from the set. I bought it maybe a month ago. If time isn't a factor they will likely eventually sell if you just undercut the lowest price on BL.
