They put minifigs in boxes now? LAAAAME

 

I noticed my Bricklink designer program sets are in the warehouse. Series 2 from June. So they should be here soon.

 

well this weekend i grabbed several of the Lego Mario sets from my local Bricks and Minifigures, since that seems to be my sons newest fascination.

the Lego Bowser Ship playset
4 of the additional blind figure boxes
a couple of the ice playsets
a luigi figure from in the counter
the Princess Peach playset
the Bumble bee outfit

and i think that is it. my son and daughter and I spent the weekend building

 

The classic Batmobile. 6 more bags to go.

 

I have that in a box still, that I got last Christmas in our family's "cousins secret Santa".

Haven't built it yet because my wife wants to buy a bigger shelf for all the Lego sets my son and I built already.

 

It's definitely a fun build. The little details are what makes it cool.

 

Bought the race car and transport truck set the other day, it was on sale on Amazon. My wife's trying to get into drifting so I said the set was our new race team when she gets good. lol The car tray is really neat as it articulates so the car can 'drive' on/off.

For those not checking their emails….


Dear BrickLink members,

We have noticed an increasing amount of phishing messages sent from accounts that are posing as BrickLink support.  We have put together an FAQ to help you identify these messages. Here’s a link to our forum post that you can follow for the most recent updates.

What is phishing? Phishing is a way for third parties to get access to your personal information while pretending to be a company or a service that is familiar to you.

What are the red flags to look out for in an email?

• Unusual spelling in the sender’s email. Always ensure that any email claiming to be from BrickLink includes 'bricklink' in its domain or subdomain, without variations. Phishers often use look-alike domains to trick users, such as ‘bricklinks’, ‘brickinc’ or ‘brickIinc’. Missing and replacement letters, such as ‘I’s instead of ‘L’s, are aimed at misleading people who are scanning through emails quickly, like most of us do occasionally.
  

• Unusual requests. BrickLink would never ask for your personal information or payment details in an email. You would only have to enter your personal information on our site when you are registering for an account or upgrading your account to become a seller. BrickLink does not process or manage payments directly, this is why whenever you are about to make a payment for your order on-site, you are transferred to one of our payment providers: PayPal or Stripe.
  

• Sense of urgency. Phishing emails are trying to put pressure on you with immediate calls to action. Never provide personal or payment information in response to an unsolicited email or message, even if it appears legitimate. Always reach out to our helpdesk first at bricklink@support.lego.com.
  

What should I do if I already shared my payment information or sent payment?Please reach out to your bank or payment provider immediately and cancel the transaction or block your card.

What else should I do to keep my BrickLink account secure? One of the easiest ways to protect your account is to ensure that you have different passwords for different accounts and change them regularly. If you are a BrickLink seller, you can enable a One-Time-Pin (OTP), which will protect the most valuable parts of your store with a two-step verification process.

We appreciate the help of everyone who reported this to us, and we hope that all our members stay vigilant and safe online.

Thank you,
The BrickLink Team

Space cargo crawler got a bit of a refresh in preparation for my LUG's upcoming Christmas in Space display at Union Station in KC. It was generally deteriorating and had been scavenged for a few parts, but is once again complete



Biggest update was rebuilding the track bodies. The original design used a technic axle as a pivot for each assembly, which allowed for a lot of sag





New version uses technic turntables. Much more robust.





This display is probably the last hurrah for this particular MOC. After that, it's most likely off to the scrap pile.

 

Almost done.

 

just in time for the holidays...swear this happened last year right around this time too

 

I was thinking the same thing, but maybe it was a database thing?
