  1. I picked up 3 cars sets from walmart that had a pretty big discount on them. So I bet they will be soon.
  2. Thanx! I am so excited tO be in a big city. I was born and raised in San Diego so its like coming home to the west coast. I got the tourist set and named my minifig traveling Trevor so I will be posting pics of my minifig at all the locations I will be visiting so expect updates.
  3. yeah it is that exact one!!! no it wasnt this one but I was actually on the look out for that set
  4. I went to my local TRU store and they had some Friends Stephanie promo pollybags. I bought 2 for 2.99 came with just a minifig of Stephanie that I can tell I haven't actually opened it. I cant find this any where on the net. I admit I am not the best at locating these since they are so new. They have no LEGO ID number or anything like that but all the markings that make it a legit LEGO. Has anyone seen them? If anyone wants some, they had tones. I will pick up some more. I just thought they were weird since I have never seen them. I know there is some controversy over these sets but I have a 9 year old girl who LOVES them so I have bought most of the smaller ones.
  5. Going on a trip to San Fran for my job. I will be there with my gf for a week and we know no one there. We will be there from the 23 to the 31 of January. If your interested in hanging out getting some food or maybe know the great places to hunt for bricks, I would love to meet someone with like interests. If you have a gf or spouse that puts up with your weird obsession with bricks then my gf would like to hang out with her. We are in our late 20s into punk rockabilly heavily tattooed and LEGO/starwars/music/book/history nerds. My gf plans on going to a museum a day if she can but also wants to hit up some historic and tourist type places. Any places I should warn her about? Will she be sold into slavery in China town or something? Any info would be awesome. I am going to try and hit up the LEGO store that is close to san fran so if all fails a shopping buddy would be cool. Also if your into body modification I could hook you up with a free piercing since thats why I will be there.
  6. This is about non LEGO as it comes. I am a pirate in many forms of the definition and I support in full the sharing of information and art in any form. I am scared when "THE MAN" can shut down sites for any reason. Sounds kinda dumb but our right to get information in any form needs to be protected. Now I will get off my soapbox. Thank you.
  7. I hear a lot from my local TRU store "its the tattooed lego guy!" since thats one of my main places I go to buy.
  8. I had noticed that flaw as well. Even my gf's dad an electrical engineer retired thought this was cool and agreed with some of the ideas behind it. I give him a lot of credence since he got me through math 108. lol!
  9. Never forget to "build" it like Beckham LOLZ
  10. found this article yesterday thought everyone might enjoy it. this article is about legos and math. I am personally horrible at math but I do enjoy math theory a bunch. http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2012/01/the-mathematics-of-lego/
  11. My gf is a sorta a fan. I think she is more a fan of me and thinks my nerdy-ness is cute. she did buy digon ally on her own, so she does like some sets.
  12. I dont resale really but I do trade. I like getting pollybags and noticed the jumped in price once they became hard to find. So I picked up some here and there and found I could trade them to other easily. I am happy people do it or I would have never gotten my favorite set 7166 imperial shuttle. that set was out during my dark ages and now I have one, thanks to bricklink.
  13. since I came out of my darkages during 2011 I spent a lot in my opinion. I am looking at around 500$ us dollars on bricklink and another 2,000$ between TRU and lego.com
  14. I store mine in a big Tupperware box thing. its slowly getting to small. I have another one that a store little box sets in. I find I have to store them away due to the fact I have a 6 yearold boy with poor impulse control. I came home one day and he was on his 4th bag lol!
  15. The hard to find factor is why I am so into collecting them. I love the search. Finding sets is easy most places have tons but pollybags are like the snipe hunt of Lego. Also everyone I have I bought two of or more of each bag. So I am not losing out on the bag. Those target practice suckers came out at target store and a bought 20 of them. I opened some traded the rest or tried to. Great army builders and also what I have learned from people have traded with is quiet popular.
  16. I do need more kingdoms ones. I missed out on 30061 I think it's the one thats only released in Europe (or at least I have never seen it here in the states). I have tried the bag building thing. It was interesting to work within those confines. I thought this would have been a more popular thread. I know I have seen many people looking for pollybags but I guess I the weird one that doesn't just open them but saves them.
  17. for me its the hunt of finding them doing my rounds to shops finding one getting excited. its magical \
  18. NO! lol. these are full of fun toys called Legos, sir.
  19. I have 2 elves and one space villian and I would like more elves but really I am not excited about it at all saddly. More spartans would be awesome since I have the one and would like ten. I feel FAILED by this.
  20. I don't know and I searched to see if a polybag collector thread has been started. So this is me starting one to show off my polybag collection unopened sealed sets. I love building sets, but I noticed how the smaller sets like polybags got gobbled up quickly by soccer moms looking to get out of the Lego isle cheaply and quickly, or major collectors like myself, so I started saving them up and not opening them. Now I am buying them online at places like bricklink and eBay, and have also traded with some people on here. I think I have, at least in my eyes, a good collection so far. Feel free to post your collection (I know I am not alone) here. I also try to grab the small box sets, buy two, not open one, and squirrel them away. 3305- World Team/Scottish Footballer 4899- Tractor 4900- Fire Helicopter 5625- Police 4x4 7798- Stegosaurus 7799- Cargo Copter 7800- Off Road Racer 7802- Le Mans Racer 7803- Jeep 7804- Lizard 7805- Shark 7808- Yellow Airplane 8031- V-19 Torrent 9951- Kendo Cole 9952- Lloyd Carmadon 9953- Jay ZX 30000- Medic’s Car 30001- Fireman’s Car 30002- Police Boat 30003- Road Roller 30005- Imperial Speeder Bike 30008- Snowman 30009- Christmas Tree 30015- jet ski couple 30023- Lighthouse 30026- Panda x2 30028- Wreath 30040- Octopus 30050- Republic Attack Shuttle 30052- AAT 30053- Venator Class Republic Attack Cruiser 30055- Vulture Droid 30062- Target Practice x3 30071- Army Jeep 30080- White Ninja Glider x4 30084- Jay (Blue Ninja) x2 30082- Ninja Training 30010- Trolley 30111- The Lab 30121- Grem 30132- Captain Jack Sparrow (wooden) 30133- Jack Sparrow x2 30141- Jet-Pack x2 40013- Halloween Ghost 40024- Christmas Tree 40028- Mini Hogwarts Express 2856134- Lego Card Shrine Lego Universe Exclusive Astronaut Chrome Stormtrooper LEGO Bricktober 2011 Retro Minifigure Magnets- Ninja Princess Forestman x2 Knight x2 Astronaut I will post a pic, once I get my new cam.
  21. I messaged you back and you asked if I had any harry potter for trade. I dont so that was it. I still dont have any harry potter sets or fig that are double. They made a different print for everyone instead of having a lot of reprint like the POC line so I dont have alot of doubles.
  22. Some stuff I would like to trade off: poly bags - 30062- Target Practice x2 30080- White Ninja Glider x3 30133- Jack Sparrow 30141- Jet-Pack 30084 - Blue Ninja bricktober magnet Forestman bricktober magnet Knight minifigs - clone soldiers with blasters x5 clone "pilot" from advent calender snowtrooper with blaster rebel hoth trooper x4 rebel hoth officer Stuff I would like to trade for: medical droid x2 either one of the two versions Captain Antilles Endor Luke- Wearing camouflage fatigues Wampa Would like to only do trades with people in North America, but will consider trades with others if I can get everything I want. Message me for offers please. I know I am looking for some rarer minifigs but I am willing to trade steeply for them and maybe sweeten the deal with cash to get what I want.
  23. Great review. Funny story bought this set last night and took all my pics and setup to do my very first review ever for eurobricks log in to setup my review and front page is you. lol! Win some lose some I guess I have another review to work on.
  24. I think its weird they used the same speeder bike from 7956 set not Endor. I have so many different speeder bike variants. I already have 5 rebel commandos from Endor need 12 to complete the Endor landing party so its lame they dont have backpacks and different hands. Plus side is they have a new face sorta. I will end up buying like 4 of these, the stormtroopers and scouts along with the commandos are worth it even though they changed the printing again. Its sad I am not more thrilled about this set. the rebels seem to have nothing going for them like tank or vehicle wise when they keep to the movies. I would really like to see another battle pack like they had a couple of years ago with the storm trooper and rebel scout vehicles packs. Rebels got no fire power! Thanks for the review.
  25. the short answer... YES! The long answer. The reality is they have sold well in the SW theme so I dont see why they would notdo battle pack/army builder style sets. TLG also did one for the new alien invasion, POTC and adventure line.
