    Are we still talking about lego, or should this be moved to the brag thread! LOL

    Okay so what if we set up a flikr group. That way people can post what they took and then people can look and take part if they want to and easy to avoid if people really dont want to know. We can limit it to just what people took so keeps it a surprise. What do you guys think? It also means this thread can be used for problems or queries.

    I wouldn't mind joining if this is happening again/still happening next year or so. I am not currently in the country, but will be then, and I would be interested.
  • andheandhe UKMember Posts: 3,534
    @redbullgivesuwind I'd be interested in a Flickr group if you're setting one up. For me its not a trust issue, I just enjoy seeing what people have got and what they're going to do with it. I love the fact that everyone has different collections and things they want/would use. One man's trash is another man's treasure! Think it best to keep pictures clear of here so people can avoid them easily if they want.

    @andhe Okay ill set a group up tomorrow. Then post the link here and on the message. That is how i saw it not keeping up and judging but just being nosy as to what people took and want to use.
  • andheandhe UKMember Posts: 3,534
    Sounds good! I think I'm somewhat of a lego voyeur.
  • RedbullgivesuwindRedbullgivesuwind Brickset's Secret HeadquatersMember Posts: 2,009
    ^arent we all?

    Okay so the group is http://www.flickr.com/groups/pickandmix

    Dont have to post at all what you take out and put in or anything at all for that matter but would be nice to see.

    Don't worry, I'm nearly done. If I can hide from the children this afternoon I might be able to get it posted tonight, but if not it will be first thing in the morning :)

  • RedbullgivesuwindRedbullgivesuwind Brickset's Secret HeadquatersMember Posts: 2,009
    Im after Si and waiting impatiently for it to get to him!
  • Si_UKNZSi_UKNZ NZMember Posts: 4,179
    Not as impatiently as I am, these Imperial Flagships are getting in the way, I need rid of them.
  • RedbullgivesuwindRedbullgivesuwind Brickset's Secret HeadquatersMember Posts: 2,009
    ^I thought it was those UCS Falcons that you were really keen to be rid of.
  • mattheww888mattheww888 Member Posts: 87
    @Si_Dorking_Surrey_UK,
    Do you have a store or website you're selling those Imperial Flagships through?
  • Si_UKNZSi_UKNZ NZMember Posts: 4,179
    well, this one if you like :)
  • mattheww888mattheww888 Member Posts: 87
    ^Of course. What's your asking price (USD)?
  • legonut80legonut80 UKMember Posts: 314

    @Si_Dorking_Surrey_UK

    Damn, with all these UCS falcons and Flagships flying about. I think I have a polybag i can swap for one. :o)
    Yeah... that'll do... I change my mind on the photos issue, let's keep it blind instead. ;o)

    Parcel just arrived as I was leaving for a busy day at London book Fair. Something to look forward to when I get home.

    :)
  • TheBrickLaddTheBrickLadd Chippenham, Wilts, UK.Member Posts: 844
    Just been through the box, some fantastic pieces. I will add bits tomorrow and post to next person. ,
  • Si_UKNZSi_UKNZ NZMember Posts: 4,179
    WHICH WOULD BE ME! YEEEEYY!
  • LostInTranslationLostInTranslation UKMember Posts: 5,594
    Get those falcons and flagship ready!!
    Can't believe I'm pretty much bottom of the pile, it will take ages to get to me!! :-(
  • collect_thatcollect_that Kidderminster, EnglandMember Posts: 1,327
    I don't build a great deal, have very little need for parts, yet of all the parcels heading my way. This is the one I'm probably most looking forward too?
  • TheBrickLaddTheBrickLadd Chippenham, Wilts, UK.Member Posts: 844
    Its on its way @Si_Droking_Surrey_UK :D Yay!!!
  • RedbullgivesuwindRedbullgivesuwind Brickset's Secret HeadquatersMember Posts: 2,009
    Sorry @Lostintranslation its going to me after Si and there wont be any left :-D. Still need to come up with a good re name for you too.

    I have a lot of bricklink orders on the way, and a package arrived this morning - my first reaction was "eh - I didn't order this", and then "star wars? what? I dont even collect star wars". I was convinced that some bricklink seller had sent me the wrong order. Then it slowly dawned on me that all the bags are different. Plus, there's no way someone would order this lot off bricklink - or of they did, I'd LOVE to see what they were planning to build with it all. Now that would be one crazy model.

    Actually, maybe that should be the challenge for whoever gets it last. They should have to build something using every one of the bricks that are left over at the end.

    @Si_Droking_Surrey_UK Brilliant idea. :D
  • bluemoosebluemoose Member Posts: 1,716
    Why is anybody last? Surely it just goes on circulating through the postal system, from one AFOL to another, forever? The list will change over time, of course, but there's no need for it to end ... :-)
