11. Re: Technic

    

    Comment by Addicted2Oxygen · November 2017 · Home› Building and Techniques

    @alaskaguy sounds like you are in a similar place to me. As a kid I was put off technic because of the holes and the appearance, and not for minifigs. But I have always been fascinated with the engineering and mechanisms - #8002 is one of my favourite sets. I love building the technic frames and mechanisms in 'normal'…

12. Re: Help With Selling My HUGE Toy Collection

    

    Comment by LegoFanTexas · February 2012 · Home› Buying & Selling Topics

    to the OP, you have some older sets there... something to keep in mind is that "asking prices" are not always "selling prices". 8002 is asking over $200 online, but that doesn't mean it sells at that price, or sells at that price very often. How much work do you want to put into this? Getting the most amount of money from…

13. Re: Predictions on Discontinuing Sets and their Secondary Market Value

    

    Comment by Bandit · June 2012 · Home› Buying & Selling Topics

    I personally loved building 10186, even happier that I got it years after retirement for $80. :) I thought it was a fun build, MUCH larger in person than the pictures make it look, and just really interesting all the way around... I would love a Super Battle Droid in that scale, a regular Battle Droid, and of course a…

    Comment by LegoFanTexas · November 2011 · Home› Shopping USA/Canada

    I recently built a few older sets from 2000-2003 timeframe, the 8001 Battle Droid, 8002 Destroyer Droid, & 4481 Hailfire Droid. The instructions for those sets were much harder to follow than the current sets, which I do agree are almost too simple. But consider for a minute the target market... My 6 year old son does well…

15. Hello from Brickinghamshire

    

    Discussion by Addicted2Oxygen · January 2017 · Home› Introduce yourself

    Hi, I have been browsing the forum for a little while and recently started posting, so thought I should introduce myself. As a kid in the 80s and early 90s I had a large collection of city Lego, and a smattering of other sets (classic space, forest men, pirates, Technic). Pirates was of great interest, but came along a bit…

16. Re: Tags discussion

    

    Comment by Lfaria · June 2021 · Home› Brickset.com

    While checking the "Tags grouped by theme" page, I noticed that the tag "x4" is (also) listed in Castle, with 1 associated set, but by following that link, I get a "No Sets Found" result (There are only 4 sets with that tag, all in Space Police 3), why? And the "Constraction" tag is missing in several sets: some Chima ones…

17. Re: Disappointing Builds

    

    Comment by Oldfan · April 2012 · Home› Building and Techniques

    4481 "Hailfire Droid" from SW series was my least-favorite build. Nothing but Technic pieces, and lots of little pins to snap together. And taking all those Technic pins apart when I broke it down was even less fun. I'll probably never build that set again. 8002 "Destroyer Droid" is a close second, but at least that was…

18. Re: Speculation in the LEGO Market: Will there be a Bubble?

    

    Comment by LegoFanTexas · December 2011 · Home› Buying & Selling Topics

    @avoiceofreason - you make a great point... When the same MISB sets are just getting traded around, there is indeed a bubble. At some point, we need people to open these sets and play with them to reduce the number out there, to support the price, otherwise at some point people will stop trading and the prices will fall. I…

19. Large collection for sale - in NYC (list and pictures at bottom)

    

    Discussion by dangottesman · May 2013 · Home› Marketplace

    Hey there folks. I'm a new new to this group, and figured this would be a good place to try to sell my collection. I've estimated it at around 17,500+ pieces; 140+ minifigs; 100+ pounds. There are two parts to it... My original collection from when I was a kid (I'm 39), which has been kept in a classic denim Lego storage…

20. Re: Giving up on Star Wars

    

    Comment by LegoFanTexas · January 2012 · Home› Collecting

    Just to toss a thought in here... I'm a completionist, so it is very expensive to be into Star Wars Lego. That being said, I've drawn a few lines here and there, simply for practical reasons. It would be crazy and expensive to collect everything, so I'm sticking to the post 2006 sets for the most part, and only collecting…
