Everything LEGO thread!

Where is the plate bumper??

 

I ran out of parts. We have about 5 trucks and a dune buggy now. Need to sacrifice some for a new build.

 

Hey guys, I was hoping you could help me out. I Bought this car back in 1999 and now it just sits in the closet. I'm thinking its time to pass it along to someone else. How much should I ask for it? New it was +-$100.
Edit: is it even worth selling?

 

I sold the same set on eBay about three years ago for $130, so yes I'd say it's worth selling if you're interested in giving it a new home. If you bought it new, the MSRP was $130, so you may break even or do a little better if that set has gotten more rare since I sold mine.

 

Thanks for the info. Maybe it was $130. I can't remember. I hate the headache of selling stuff, but it sounds like it would be worth it.

 

Brickset is a great resource for info on sets:

There are no used sets in the US for sale on eBay that I could find, so that should drive the price up (especially for those not wanting to pay $1500 for a sealed one). Bricklink has used sets in the US starting at $155.

 

This is what I do when I should be studying



Convert the set to a truck from a SUV and then lift it haha

 

Loving this thread, sub'd

 

Just got an email for this kit :

Looks pretty good.

 

I've been eying that one. First I need to finish the tumble I just picked up.

 

DAMN!!!!! I've only been on this site for oh.........say.........8 freakin years and didn't realize we have a LEGO thread!!!

Just built a 3 story mansion/shopping mall and 2 monster trucks with my kids last night.

I need to post pics soon.

This is awesome

 

I started it when my son turned 5 & started getting into it.

Gave me an excuse to buy more for myself too!

 

Too funny man, this is the first time I'm seeing this too

 

My daughter is a lego freak, she has so many legos its just nuts. She comes up with some really cool stuff though. I'll need to share some pics

 

That's what this threads all about.

I've been slacking lately.

 

Oh I get it man....I got my 10 year old hooked on legos when she was 5 and my 3 year old wants to play EVERYDAY with them so when I get home from work it's serious LEGO time.

My girly bought me a bunch for Christmas and I got some today for my BDAY!!! I don't care, I'll admit it, I loved LEGOS as a kid and I still love em to this day. Endless play time with these things.

My 11 year old has over $1300 plus of LEGOS over the last 5 or so Christmas' and bdays.


We mostly get LEGO city. The cars trucks and buildings are my favorite....errr my kids favorites.

 

I'm going to get on EBAY and buy an all black bulk lot set so I can do this:






This will be my next set I buy:

And here are some sets I really really NEED!!!!

 

Personally I like the Creator building sets. I've purchased all of the ones I could get starting with the Town Hall. My first love is the Lego classic space sets from the late 70s and early 80s, I fortunately still have all of the ones I acquired when I was growing up.
My son is in love with anything that has to do with Star Wars
My daughter was into Lego friends for a little while but now she is kind of getting out of it. I haven't purchased her anything except for specific minifigs lately.

 

My 10 year old loves the Friends but also loves Lego City. I did buy her that big ass cruise ship thats really cool.

I love that town hall , detectives office, palace cinema, Parisian Restaurant, etc.

When I'm retired I will dedicate my garage to nothing but a huge city with those^^^ sets, then I'll die and my kids or grandkids can have it.

I'd give anything to have my LEGOS back from childhood. My little brother and I had a metric shit ton of them.

I told my kids now that every LEGO in the house NEVER leaves the house, will not be sold, etc as long as i'm alive

 

I kind of want the Simpsons House too. Pretty badass
