Yep, the market places, ones in my town. They have a big toy section with lots of legos in it, and a bunch are on clearance right now.

My wife had the same idea.
She built it out of my extra legos I had stored in the basement from my childhood too.
That and I found out they're finally opening a lego store in the Milwaukee area. Hurray!

Finished rebuilding my AT-AT, and I just picked up a mini-Tie Interceptor to go with it!
It walks around and does a great job of freaking out the cat, muahaha.

Girlfriend saw me looking at this thread a lot and noticed I make an extra stop in the Lego section now when we visit stores. We took a trip to the Lego store in Glendale, CA earlier this week and I guess she noticed my eyes light up when I saw the Medieval Market place...cuz that's what she gave me for Valentine's day. Hell yea.
Man, I can't wait to build this thing. We don't live together...but thinking I should wait for her next visit. I want other sets so bad, like the Fire Brigade and Grand Emporium and some Star Wars stuff, however given how expensive some sets are and the fact that I'm a crazy toy collector as it is (Hasbro's Star Wars line being one of the major things I collect), dunno if I should bite...especially on the Star Wars stuff since I have decently sculpted figures and vehicles. Collecting the Lego star wars stuff seems redundant.
Games and toys...my hobbies are too expensive

Nice, good of her to notice!
Show us a pic when you're done building it!

Hmmm... I need to look into getting one of these girlfriend things.
Have become more and more interested in the Creator line these past few weeks, so I finally caved and placed a new order. Hopefully they'll arrive before the end of the week.

Nice, I've only got the apple tree house out of all of those, I like the look of the jet, cool car and the other house. The jet is pretty similar to a white Creator one from s few years back same with the yellow car.
This thread has really taken on a life of its own in the last few weeks. When I started I had to keep posting to stop it dropping off but its gone apeshit lately with all the purchases people have been making and talk of upcoming sets. Lego should be paying me a commission for this shit.
Lego if you're listening, I'll take payments in the form of pet stores and town halls. Kthx

No Lighthouse Island?
Saw this set in a store yesterday, tempted to go back and buy it:
You do, man. Mine brings me a minifig back every time she goes to Sainsbury's. God bless 'er.

Watching this little community form has been one of the highlights of the past few years on GAF for me. I'm just hoping that for many this will be more than a passing fad, and we can look forward to "The LEGO Thread |OT2|" in the not-so-distant future.

I'm hoping with you bro. This is one of the bestest topics on Gaf. LEGO-GAF is awesome!
This topic has cost me about € 200 though

Looks like I have plans for the weekend.
Just did Y-wing 3 days ago. Awesome freaking set.

I've been considering the Obi Wan Star Fighter since it's technically a UCS set and very inexpensive right now. My only gripe with it is that it's technically from Clone Wars and I said I wouldn't buy any of those sets to myself haha.

For anyone on the fence, I've noticed that Amazon is offering Fire Brigade for $140 via Amazon Prime. It's only $10 savings, but if you can't get to a Lego store or don't want to pay
on a large purchase, it's a decent way to do it.
Also, with FB going OOP very soon, now is the time. I actually still haven't opened mine from when I bought it last month. -_-

How are you getting it for $140? I'm still seeing 149.98.
I only got it because it was cheap (50% off at lego.com) and was a UCS. And hopefully as history has shown UCS only increase in value. That and I was drunk when I ordered it.

Finished off the first floor of the Fire Station. Really liked how the door worked. Just wish there was a mechanism so I didn't have to raise by hand.
I see 149.98 as well.

Welp that went quick. It was showing up on my "Recommendations on Browsing" thing as $139.98 when I posted that. Appears to have either sold or gone up. No idea.
Sorry guys.Some guy on Craigslist near me is selling one for $140, too. Silly silly man.
Posted this in the Bricked thread, but I never really had Legos as a kid, but after watching those I just dropped $19 for the two of these:
I figured it was a pretty low cost of entry and I would see if I want to actually drop some money into this stuff. Interesting to hear that the Y-Wing set is good, I'm pretty sure when I was looking around today I saw that one for $42 on sale at TRU, and I also saw that the Obi-Wan one was on sale at Lego.com for $59 I think? Hmm.

I built that mini Republic Cruiser last night and I actually really like it. I would love to have a fleet of miniature capital ships.

It might be your gold box quick pick. I get random Lego sets listed for an additional 5% each day. Yesterday, the winter village post office was 5% off which I quickly bought.

Anyone got a spare one of these they'd be willing to send me? It's the last part I need to build that Metal Grudge RC, and I just can't see ordering 1 from a shop.

I never thought of this! Sorry guys...Also, I need to [apparently] keep a much better eye on this!
PjotrStroganov

Why can't you order one?
Yeah, I've got tons of them. But i'm in the UK so postage will be prohibitive
ordering one on its own isn't practical, but you could get one along with some other pieces you might want.
Or look to see what sets that piece comes with, and buy that set?
Fox Mulder
Member
well some sellers have an minimum piece/dollar limit, plus there's cost of shipping.
Bricklink is good for ordering in bulk, like I am for the UCS Falcon, but it seems kind of wasteful for just one piece.

Its like they wanted to make a park back there, but said fuck it and left it alone.
Is this actually doable? Can you actually 100% duplicate that thing with orderable parts?
almost. Some of the parts might not be available, or might be way too expensive - depends what people have. But I did that for Cafe Corner. Takes some time but doable.
Is there a list of parts somewhere?
Nvmd found it.

Isn't lego.com an option then?
and if you go to rebrickable.com, you can put in sets you already have, and it'll generate you a list of the pieces you need, taking into account the pieces you already have. It can then upload them directly into a bricklink.com wanted list.

How expensive was Cafe Corner?
