What's your LEGO 'status' today?

Shib

@Kavster - I'm now eating those words a little...a package from eBay just showed up, the seller sent two MegaBloks sets instead of a LEGO set...needless to say I am pretty peeved!

I don't buy job lots to avoid having to filter out all the crap...I might try to post in the sorting method thread later

Just built the SDCC Action Comics #1 set that I got from bricklinked parts from ColaradoBricks.  Looks really good and is now on my desk at work and being admired by many people.

Setting up Bricklink shop!

Building my Ant-Man set #76039
Those three minifigs are too cool!
And those brick build Lego bricks are just too funny.
I haven't seen the movie (yet) but I just had to get this set because of those figs. They will blend in nicely with all my other sci-fi Lego stuff.

VorpalRyu

^ Ant-Man was an awesome movie, definitely looking forward to Ant-Man 2. My wife hated the character before we saw the movie, but after seeing that film, she rates Scott Lang as up there with Star-Lord/Peter Quill.

I have most of the Pirates sets now so I'm ready for a big building session on Talk Like a Pirate Day this weekend. :)

Mixed status today, happy as I got 4 sets from Ireland at a reasonably good price due to current exchange rates. Sad as the wife said that  she would get them for me as birthday presents and I can't have them till then. :o(

AdeelZubair

I'll try again next year... :/

VorpalRyu

^ Sorry to hear that, that really sucks. Keep with it, you do some awesome work. Can they elaborate why it was knocked back?

Thanks for the kind words :)

"This year we had 250+ submissions across both shows and we only have the space and budget for about half of that at ExCeL. As a result of the high number of submissions it has taken us longer than we hoped to thoroughly consider everyone’s submissions and ensure we were making the best decisions for the show." - Teresa Elsmore.

I was planning to bring the following as well as a LEGO Store - Modular Building and two other £30-80 buildings which I'm keeping a secret :)

I'll try and email them back, that way I can learn from what is good and what isn't good for next year.

SirKevbags

@Adzbadboy Sorry to hear that, might be an idea to blank out Kittys email address. 

SirKevbags

And don't forget there are other LEGO events all over the country all year round.

^^ I wouldn't worry too much, she posted it herself here...

A Letter From Kevin Hinkle!

Thanks Kevin and Kim :)

Story:

I had a dream last night were I met Kevin Hinkle from LEGO! - Me, 26 August 2015.

What A Day... (and it hasn't even hit noon yet!)

"Dear Adeel, I’m very sorry to say that we cannot accept your MOC submission for BRICK 2015 ExCeL. I know that this is not what you wanted to hear." - Teresa Elsmore.

I had another LEGO dream last night that someone was selling the Bat-Pod (5004590) for £20 because the box was badly damaged although it was still sealed, I went ahead and purchased it...DARN IT! :/

I just now I received a letter from Kevin Hinkle!

Rebelego

Waiting for my sister to bring me the Halloween Vignette and Statue of Liberty Polybag

bandit778

Just realised that taking apart a 3000+ piece build and sorting it into it's relevant shapes sizes and colour and putting it into the resealable bags for the next build is nowhere near as much fun as building it in the first place.

TheBigLegoski

^Yeah, sorting sucks!

Legoboy

Spent over two hours solid today applying seven stickers.  God they look good @bkpr.

karmajay

Just got done putting all the new Halloween minifigures together. Trying to make a final decision on opening my Haunted House and putting it together.

Lego_Star

Re-feeling and identifying sealed minifig packs for a friend, whilst watching The Big Bang Theory. Bernadette doing the taxes and querying the $200 receipt for r2d2. Lol. :o)

@karmajay do it!

Im out of town on business and I cant wait to leave this training class to head to the local Lego store to pick up a LIncoln Memorial and Flatiron Building.

I appear to be leaking vital fluids.
(nose bleed).

I promise it was not caused by shoving bricks up it.
(I have a cold like beyoncé's butt)

(It won't quit).

Please, Lord, make it quit...
No amount of spandex and lycra will protect us from aging saggy buttocks.

(It is possible I may have a feverish headcold).

May this offer you some solace

I bought my first Ninjago set today. A theme I never had any interest in. Apparently, I have no self control. As if I didn't already know that.

nexander

Been sitting making Argos reservation 'preorder' lists in preparation for tomorrow. Thinking what I want, what would be nice to have, what to buy to resell, how to square it away with the wife etc. Suddenly asked myself if all the hassle was worth it, I have loads to build and not much time and space. Have deleted my basket and feel its a small step in the right direction!

xwingpilot

Star Wars Character Encyclopedia arrived today complete with exclusive White Boba Fett minifigure (sporting a white range finder*).





*kidding ;)

My copy of Great Lego Sets: A Visual History has arrived, building of #11910 will commence shortly... :)

Finally able to ask eBay to step in on this one (seller didn't respond, surprise surprise) and they refunded me after about 20minutes...at least I got the money back...now what to do with these two bags of crappy megabloks? If the label on theme is to be trusted it's a Halo pelican...part of me wishes I had some fireworks to try to blow it up....it is getting to fireworks season...

waiting for orders...

the sorting is aching me!

Glad you got it sorted!
And let me know, as I still have a lot of MegaBlocks that need destroying too! haha!

I am finally settled in my new house and unpacked. Now I can start the massive job of sorting out my boxes of LEGO to start rebuilding everything I had to take down for the move.

Open them up to make sure the sets are actually there, then donate them to the UK equivalent of Toys for Tots. We AFOLs may not enjoy MegaBloks but I imagine a less fortunate child would.

Starfighter! Starfighter! Starfighter! Tee is back at TeeFury. Yay!

Curiously I asked for this only a few weeks ago. Must email back the friendly CS person who said he'd recommend it and thank him! Toy of man, now please. :o)

A step closer to having a Lego room. Another week and hopefully we'll be there

Just ordered General Grievous constraction from Target using Curbside.

saved $10 off the set! 

Stoked...picking it up in an hour. :)

AdeelZubair

I just placed nine orders on Bricklink; each one has elements for a new MOC with 680+ pieces. I also ordered additional parts which I was missing for several other MOC's so hopefully those will all cover my Flickr feed for one or two months :)

I'll need to order four copies of 4552400 however it only appears in one set in white, therefore I have only two options which are both European sellers :/

Jern92

Just moved into my new room yesterday and to my delight there were 2 tables in there of the exact same height, so I'm using those as my Lego building/display space and my own table for work-related stuff. 

Lego_Star

Wondering if LEGO will ever have a mars crater that floats? :o) #evidence_of_water_found_on_mars

Rebelego

Just got this in the mail. About to "work from home" this afternoon. 

Fauch

just realized the upper jaw of old dragons / crocos can clip on bars oO

for example you can clip a large flame piece inside the mouth of a dragon master dragon.

brumey

will start moving to my new lego cave today...

sorting still sucks. but i am "finished" sort of

i realized that i will never be finished with sorting!!!

JELJ1S

With October starting tomorrow, I am breaking out all of the Monster Fighter sets for display. The wife loves Halloween so she is allowing them to be displayed right at the entrance of our house!

Salamalex

Just completed the Monster Fighters with the purchase of the zombies. Now building in order to complete the display.

Thought I'd completely missed out on getting Hotdog Guy at retail but just scored 3 of them today at TRU! 
Well worth looking weird as I felt up bags for five minutes. :)

SumoLego

^ I've just come to embrace the weirdness.  I can say, the store manager at TRU was quite impressed I was able to almost immediately identify a Hot Dog Guy and the Space Trooper.

Not to mention the Gargoyle, Witch and Tiger Lady from S14. 

Weirdly impressed.  Probably not a good thing, but who cares, right?
