Go ahead and get the Wicked Brick display case shipped from the UK if you’re shitting money.

I'm hoping for a Snake Mountain reveal at Powercon.

They had an incredible Star Trek line that didn't sell too well, I guess, because it was so short lived. I was able to get the entire collection at a big discount.

My son got the London Bridge set for Christmas about 4 years ago and still hasn't finished it. We have 2 big arse tupperware containers full of blocks with all of the instructions to go with the builds.


The beauty of Lego is they routinely discontinue their sets. If you’re mindful of the instructions and the box, you will always be able to flip it on eBay for the purchase price. If you buy from their website you get rewards points that equal about 5%, and they routinely offer gifts with purchase. In particular, the ones offered around Xmas are always good fan easy $50-100 on eBay.

They got a lot of deals but between Mattel not distributing them right and nobody marketing it falls by the wayside. Which is a shame if they put their bucket assortments in stores they'd get a lot of interest outside the action figure minis and blind bags/eggs.

I wasn't too interested in the Enterprise set but the Kratos led Viking ship fighting Drogon in my home office while Skeletor storms Grayskull with Xenomorphs in the other corner lights up my day.

Its a shame their Game of Thrones stuff sucked. But they were late to market and threw in the towel after Season 7-8. Never even did army builders for it and they could have competed with Lego knights if they built actual sets.

Wonder how much the Lego replica of the US capitol building runs?


Three fifty with the fence. Three hundred without.

It's so expensive now because adult males buy them more than kids. They see them as investments. They will sell them in a few years for double/triple the price

Avenger's Tower

It's the tower that belongs to the avengers


Translation, it’s not a typo, you really don’t understand punctuation.

Is there one avenger that owns the tower? Jesus Christ dude.
