    ^ Finals MVP LeFlop James?  The same LeFlop James that brought home a major championship to a downtrodden municipality?

    Who brought back his team from a 3-1 deficit against a team that set the single season record for wins and has the reigning league MVP?

    How does one flop his way to back-to-back 41 point games?  He didn't take 82 free-throws...

    (I channelled my inner @TigerMoth.  Pardon the length of the post.)

    Lol. Yes, it was my knee. I realised it was in shot after posting the photo. I thought to myself should I crop the image but then thought no one will really notice!!

    I only dealt with his mother, but she said he was in high school. I'm not sure if that makes it better or worse...

    @SprinkleOtter What did you get that was worthwhile?

    @Bumblepants
    Quite a lot actually- 5 of those long, flat rubbermaid type tubs full of loose bricks, a large tub of loose parts, as well as a couple cardboard boxes of loose parts. Two large tubs of newer sets, taken apart and bagged. Almost no figs though. Lots of Batman I stuff, superhero stuff, Clone Turbo tank, train track, etc.

    I've just been reminded that Lego bricks are supposed to be toys for children to abuse and not religious relics or an investment oO

     I would guess that if I could find the LEGO sets that my cousins and I played with in the 1970s it would resemble @SprinkleOtter's recent finds. We were kids, and toys were to be played with. LEGO was a favorite because it survived nearly anything we could dish out.

    Here is what I found in a recent job lot.
    There was crude writing on the vehicles.

    A TV with the villain from Saw permanently showing, as well as a cardboard chainsaw...

    Sorry, I cannot "like" this; I am a Yankees fan and "23" is LeFlop James' number ;)

    23 was just a number i've used since 1996.. lol.. and i'm NOT a yankees fan

    So, the FBI was in my home today asking me questions and the Special Agent looked around at all the Lego and asked "Your kids have a lot of 'Legos'." I said "Oh, those aren't theirs, they are mine." She raised her eyebrow and started writing something down. "What are you writing?" It has been bothering me all day. 

    Yes...this is true. You can't make this stuff up.

    @SumoLego, I felt like Elaine in Seinfeld every time she went to the doctor ;)

    Okay.  Wait what?

    FB friggin' what?

    Was it in pencil?  Pencil means your safe.  If the Agent was writing with a Sharpie, you're screwed.

    And in a completely unrelated thought, feel free to pack up your 'kids' Lego.  I'll keep them safe until the let you out Federal Prison.

    The Special Agent's note on @Pitfall69 : 'male occupant is an AFOL, has several sets I'm after... Could try getting a seizure order on suspicion of reselling to "support criminal activities" & have the sets I need go missing.'

  • SprinkleOtterSprinkleOtter Member Posts: 2,779
    I don't know where to ask this, but I remember a topic a while back, where someone was talking about his Bricklink store, and how he had a warehouse and several employees. I remember his posts having some good tips in them- does anyone else remember this, or know what topic it was in?

    Any help appreciated, thanks.

    Sometimes voting feels like choosing between a poke in the eye and a kick to the balls. A nice big lego set should help....

    I don't think that LegoFanTexas had much of a BL store. @DadsAFOL has one of the largest stores in North America- that would be my guess. 

    EDIT:

    @SprinkleOtter - Found it (I think)!

    and by helping.
    that is to say you are building it, as said Boys are running around you playing and shouting, with the odd added comment of "is it done yet?"

    status today.
    i am packing away #71006 in to sainsbury's zip seal bags.
    i am braking down the set bag number by bag number, starting with 7 then 6 then 5.
    and so on.
    by doing this when i come to rebuild it later it will be in the right order to rebuild it.
    with out having 2000+ parts to hunt over.

    it sad to have to do this but i know i will have a lot of fun rebuilding it later on,
    some set's are just to big to pack away built. the 2000+ part sets are this type of set.
    + this one needs to be on a table or it fulls to bits.
    well maybe not fulls to bits but it dose come apart at key week points.
    oh well back to the un-building.
