Lego General

I have a ton of opened lego sets (star wars, indiana Jones, etc) that I want to sell. Can I make money of these sets if I have the box, manual, and all the pieces in good condition? Is there a good place to sell them?

I tried searching Watermelon on Bricklink but no luck.

What sets have the new Watermelon slices?

>>5743102
Depends on how old stuff you have and in what condition. Most likely yes, though.

>>5743103
Most of those are stickers not listed, and the new one is so new that it's not listed

I asked this right before the other general ended, but do you guys think 15 bucks for Blue Spaceman and 7 bucks for ghost was a good deal? Only flag I can find on the blue Spaceman is slight bite marks on the helmet.

just the sandman set. You can just order the legs on the bricks n pieces on shop@home

Each of them should be about five bucks top! Bricklink is your friend!

Anyone else pick up a winner's podium yesterday? I was just released from 4 weeks orders and headed home when I stopped by a Toys R Us on my route to pick up a game order. Game didn't yet release like I thought it had so I was leaving the store when I passed the Lego demo area that was set up for the event. Had a decent amount of kids but they were mostly playing with the bricks provided to make cars, so since there was no line (and probably because she didn't want to say no to the guy in an Army uniform) the girl kindly let me grab the parts to make 2 podiums for my kids. This was my first Lego event set, I'll be looking out for more.

You mean this one? It should be simple enough to swap out the lime green for a different color, there isn't much of it and it's just standard pieces, nothing weird.

I might pick it up and try to redo that weird punchy-drilley thing on the back to recoil the other way so it goes down instead of up, I dunno. Not a huge fan of those wider tracks, I like the thinner ones you usually find in the construction stuff.

>mfw Dimensions Supergirl will probably be SDCC exclusive

>>5743712
Even Lego knows that the Dimensions line is more /toy/ than /v/ material.
They just found a way to make it more appealing than Infinity was.

>>5743793
meant to be a reply to >>5743714

>>5743801
It's not like they pretend to revolutionize the TTL market with their game. If that was the case they would to something more akin to what Fusion is (was?) regarding construction mechanics instead of recycling the TT Games format with the added crossover possibilities.

It's still /toy/ if only for the fact that all the packs are completely compatible with existing lego, And they wouldn't have it another way. It's clearly designed to be used in an out of the game.

Also, it wouldn't get the fraction of the success if the minifigs were glued to their bases or using an otherwise non-compatible format.

>>5743801
I bought dimensions sets solely for the parts. Sure is video games.

Either Lego releases faun hair with red skin or I'll be forced to perform non-reversible heretical surgery to it.
Since surgery is the most probable outcome, what would be the best way to go about this, painting or dyeing the ears, or maybe carefully snipping and shaving them off completely? What would be the best way to recolor Lego in general?

How do "new in box" prices work generally? I hate buying used goods, so I want to get a good understanding of pricing so I can plan some purchases. Do older sets really increase much more in price over time, or only when they're first officially discontinued?

For example:
The 2014 Light Repair Truck is a cute little set that has an RRP of $10, which you could probably have gotten for $8-10 back in 2014. Now, it doesn't look like you'd get away without spending at least $20 after shipping for the set. In another year, would that set be much more $20? Or is it just that initial "Retired!" status that doubles the price?

>find out that part you need does exist
>it only just came out

>>5743569

Nah, people just try to get attention by having sets of $1 and then get the amount they want out of a single item in the super lot.

It's against bricklink policy as it messes up the price guide.

Best learn to love it as soon we won't even have boob line prints as anything but absolute androgyny will be considered too extreme for Lego

The first bump of NIB prices is just after discontinuation because that's what first both makes the total number produced finite and scarce to walk into a store and buy, aka "oh fuck thats not made anymore I didn't get that one yet I need it nao" and then finding out only BL/ebay stores have it.

Later, NIB goes up bit by bit year by year, but it's not entirely predictable how much because it's dependent on things like how good the set is or how many cool parts come only in that set or how good the theme it fits into was or how many people hoarded all 7 copies of it that they bought on clearance right as it got retired. Once you get to decade-old boxes prices ain't ever coming down as not many are available to change hands - how many still-unopened sets can there even be? - and people experiencing nostalgia of their childhood have way more money as an adult than they did as a kid.

Licensed stuff (Star Wars, for example) will have old-NIB prices fluctuate more, as a new movie or something spikes interest temporarily.

tl;dr anything that's both 1 year old and on sale price is a thing to buy even if just for hoarding to profit from later

Yes.

I'm gonna buy one as soon as it relases for us non-VIP plebs and give it to my dad for his birthday, he owned either a '69 or a '70 Beetle when he was my age and I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it.

>>5745137
Why do you not have VIP?

I've been working at the Lego Store for three months now! Starting next week, I'll get the full 50% employee discount!

Should I get the Ghostbusters house, or wait for the blue Beetle?

>>5745141
Because I literally just got back into Lego about three months ago and haven't done anything online yet.

>>5745145
There's a 50% off employee discount? And I'd get blue Beetle.

I don't even care about the set, but there are too many nice pieces in it to pass it up. Those new pieces they've made for the wheel arches look really good and I'd love experiment to see what I can do with them. We're finally getting the flat 1x1 semi-circle piece in bley which is great too. And all with this set there might finally be enough dark azure piece variety to make a decently sized moc.

For the first time in a while I'm actually excited to buy a set.

>>5745186
>>5745200
Like this anon said >>5745190 It really depends on your idea of 'value'. Personally I myself love fucking around and experimenting with new elements, and I really like the dark azure pieces, so for me the set is good value.

Though if we're talking traditional value, as in price per brick, I think (could be wrong though) the average is around 10c per part. So you can do the math yourself to work out what sets are good value for what you want.

If you're okay with cleaning and sorting then maybe consider buying 2nd hand lego in bulk from local garage sales or craigslist or your local equivalent.

Those big buckets of pieces aren't a bad idea either if you're needing to flesh out your collection with new pieces. (pic related)

If you're looking for value though stay away from star wars and other non-lego ip's. The prices for those sets are jacked up to around something like 14-15c per-piece.

Assuming you're talking about pic related, the piece has actually been used for a couple of years now, it's just appearing in dark azure for the first time in that set is all.

I think it's actually closer to a deep Capri...

>>5745230
Actually it's probably more of a shadowy cerulean if you ask me, but I just go by what the color is listed as under bricklink.

I've noticed more and more how they're cutting out plastic from everything, like the minifig-scale tools (wrench, oil can, etc) and the radio set that's been around forever now have giant holes in the back or both sides so they can save the .0005 ounces of plastic.

Hey guys. Are there any decent mech/robot building techniques, sites, or groups that can help me start building?
I used to fiddle around with them but it seems like so many new pieces have come out that made joints a lot less finicky since I last tried my hand at it.
For reference, my last big innovation was combining bionicle joints to make fairly large robutts. I could never seem to get too close to a minifig scale power armor like I always wanted.

I've seen some cool pictures, pic related, but I just can't wrap my head around all these new things and reverse engineer them like I used to.
Thanks!

0.0005oz x 100,000,000 units is 50,000oz worth of plastic.

Odd dimensions are harder to build than even dimensions, and there's no real benefit beyond a (possibly) slightly-more model-accurate build. Almost any feature of a 7-wide vehicle can be emulated with a 6-wide.

I'm so torn. I want them because they're the only lego dragons with molded heads I think, but they are just overly feminine. I don't mind waifu dragons, but goddamn.

>>5745562

>>5745562
>>5745586
>>5745594

Not that guy, but

Ninjago dragons were overmolded with this crap soft stuff so kids didnt poke out eyes.

Vikings dragons were too bionicle/technicy for system builds IMO

These are striking a nice balance in terms of mold, with some careful design they could really hark back to dragon/fright knights dragons.

Personally, I think pic related might be the best dragon to date, even if its actually a wyvern. it has folding cloth wings and a brick built head instead of some ugly mold. I've always thought dragons like this looked best.

>>5745634
That is pretty rad. I might get that... Wouldn't leave the feet as is though, theyre the thing that annoy me about the little wyvern/dragon in the small ninjago set, which is also a really good brick-built.

I hope they do more sets like the legend beasts in future, they've been a highlight for me, exactly the sort of set I would have loved as a kid.

>>5746370
why not just get the set and then buy the additional pieces you need to make it bigger/more detailed like the one you posted?
i think you might end up spending less

I was playing around with the Nexo Knights app and ran into spellcasters like this, with Globlin staves. Too cool not to do.

Are the giant Globlins Bloblins, or are Bloblins the clusters of Globlins?

What do you guys think, what is the brick count on that thing? Is it under, let's say, 2500?

>>5746403
another one that won't get made

>>5743582
needs a transparent cockpit

>>5746403
Who knows? Scrap one of the trees and shrink the footprint and we might.

>>5746398
According to book Bloblins are made from Globlins
So technicaly Yeah they are Bloblins, even if description named them Giant Globlin

>>5746403
>https://ideas.lego.com/projects/125422

that is incredible! I want it, I want it badly

>>5746403
i mean it looks very good but it's not Ideas material. right now it's basically just a very detailed Castle set- it would need to have something unique that makes it stand apart from regular sets, that's not just a higher piece count

>>5746428
I suppose you're right. Shame, though.

I have Polish version. It was translated well, but many jokes were dropped and made in different places. Still hilarious to read.

It misses some monsters though - The Lava ones are described well, but plant/water tribes are... really rushed.

>>5746384
That's basic and Nice! I need to buy some globlins.

>>5746444
Hey true that, I always presumed I was the only one here who can afford lego and internet (only barely though)

I need to make a minifig scale dakimakura.

What would be the best way of doing this?

>BL store with lot limits

No, this is not okay.

>>5746445
>plant/water ones were really rushed
Maybe they don't want to give away too much about next year's sets.

>>5744869
Same. Great set aside from the shite ghost. Guess they'll have to bust CMF series 14 around here.

Check these out for inspiration. Basically just use a lot of plates and connectors, especially pic related. Super versatile for joints.

The Creator set from last year, Red Creatures, had a pretty good brick-built dragon.

Who's that chick with the glasses? I want [spoiler]in[/spoiler] her.

>>5746541
you mean hippie zombie or hipster lavaria?

>>5746517
I have that one. It's pretty damn awesome. Best impulse buy for me as of late.

>>5746543
The globlin

>tfw you realized the man who made one of the best lego X-wing models is the same man who presented the new Volkswagen

>>5746570
I wish a set's designer was listed in the instructions for each set.

Asked in a previous thread and got no response. Is the TFA Millennium Falcon worth a buy at MSRP?
it's kind of selling out fast around here and I wonder if it's legitmately good or it's just scalpers being scalpers.

Build an AC out of lego then.

>>5746583
Do you have a Falcon already? If so, you don't need the new one. Do you not have one yet, and are a fan of the ship? Go grab it. It's better than the 2011 iteration with its details and accessories, plus Old Han is currently exclusive to it.

What do you use for storage / where is the best place to get one of these for a good price?

Looking to sort my stuff out by type (bricks, plates, etc), and color.

Guys, we hit the bump limit! Somebody make a new thread! In fact, better make two or three, just to be safe.

>>5746597
Home Depot/ any large hardware store.

>>5746586
Nope, no falcon in my lego hoard. Yet.

>>5746597
I use wire drawer sets from ikea filled with sorted ziploc bags.

Anyway,
see pic
how do you nagroz fill a corner like pic related?
I'm actually not too unhappy with where I'm headed, I've mostly got to make the dimensions fit. But maybe someone has some ideas.

I did have another solution involving: http://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=43721&name=Wedge%204%20x%202%20Sloped%20Left&category=%5BWedge%5D#T=P

But it isn't available in dark blue. And I couldn't see an easy way to work any sort of 2nd colour/trim in here with the model.

>>5746616
Kind of hard to tell from the pic you posted.

Hey, How well does the replacement bricks and pieces work Lego.
can I abuse it?

>>5746709
People who abused the replacement program is why they are more anal about it. Don't ever think about it.

Besides if you persistently use it for the purpose of getting special printed parts or licenseshit, they can eventually ban you from using the service.

Is there a way to suggest ideas to LEGO without going through the prosess of that whole Ideas website?


Cause I want to see some official stuff like

>>5744965
>>5743349

Some kind of transforming miners, or construction mechs.

>>5746747
Anon, why would you seriously expect any company to just let you pitch any old shit to them?

>>5746745
The pirate gal look great! Can you post her with Capt hook hair?

I fucking love that set.
