The Jersey Brick Guy

Damn that was quick.

I'll take the 2 coffin cars and 2 of the gliders.

I started on mine last night. I am just waiting on a few more orders to arrive and then I should be done.

I have 10 medium azure 1x4 bricks that are brand new from a idiot brink linker. I'm interested in some of those serious 2 mini figs.

Simply amazing. I can't wait to start getting the parts for the interior. The dark grey looks best.

A badge would be awesome.

Oooh ok. Thank you. I got it for a bit more than 23% off with no tax and free shipping.

What about it?

I just bought the Death Star for $310.00 Brand New off of eBay. I don't even like star wars, but I couldn't pass up getting it for $90.00 cheaper then it sells in stores. It's not like it goes on sale. Ever.

The cafe corner has a bench also though.

I was originally going to write my opinions on the event Saturday night but decided it was best if I waited a few days to let everything sink in. For anyone reading, this shouldn't be viewed as being negative or anything else along those lines but as constructive feedback. Admission: I didn't pre-reg for the event as my wife had another convention that same weekend. I wound up traveling from Lancaster to Oaks on Saturday (which would of been the same drive if we left from our home in NJ). I arrived after 12, so I missed the rush of everyone getting in at the start. The lines moved in a quick fashion with separate lines being for cash and credit. I didn't see any signs for pre-regs, so I can't speak for if there were any lines for it. When I paid, $15.00 being a reasonable price for day of admission, I was given just a ticket. I wasn't given a program or anything else (more to come on this later), but I understand from hearing people in front of me that there was GroupOn, Amazon Local and one other company running a special where you received a T-Shirt. I had no idea about this, but would of signed up before I left to claim my t-shirt. Again, with me deciding to go at such a last minute, it wasn't that big of deal for me. First Impressions: Having been to different conventions at this location before, I knew what to expect when I got to the complex. (Little Parking, long waits, smelly areas, etc..) After I handed my ticket to the girl collecting them, I walked down a cattle shoot that dropped you right into the hall. There were kids running around everywhere. The areas were broken up into the MOC sections (some large and some small), the racing area and the vendor sections and speaker area. The areas were self-explanatory so signage was not needed but would of been nice. MOCS: There were some real nice MOC's there, I saw a bunch of great ideas that I would like to incorporate into my town. I don't know if it was up to the individual tables or was a rule in general, but there were a lot of kids very close to them which made it hard to actually see any of them without kids running into you. Dealer Section: Firstly, I understand the dealers need to make money at these things, but the prices on EVERYTHING were outrageous. I was hopping to get a deal or two but wound up only buying a few mini figures so I wouldn't walk away empty handed. The dealers were all busy and seemed to be making money which was good for them. Programs: Again, not having received a program, I had no idea what was going on when. This was really lame in my opinion as I went to see new things but didn't know what was going on when. I just happened to catch the guy from lego at the tail end and would of liked to have seen his entire Q&A section. Personal Thoughts: If there was (or was there??) a AFOL night, I would of went to that instead of having to fight a bunch of little kids who were everywhere. If there wasn't one, or was one, please make sure there is another one next year, as this will be the night I would prefer to attend. I also stopped at the King of Prussia Lego store following the show and were listening to a bunch of "dads" talking to one of the stores employees about how unorganized the event was. I know this was the first one and there will be growing pains with it. I don't want to write the event off just yet and will give it another year or two before I decide if it's worth going to every year or not. Thanks!

I doubt they will sell anytime soon.

I stopped at the King of Prussia store on my way back from Philly Brickfest today. They didn't have anything really useful there. It's a shame the stores don't have stuff that people actually use. (Who needs 100 propellers??)

What are you going to have on the other floors? A kitchen, sleeping quarters and offices?

He has been quiet on the subject. When was the news for the last modular released?

Simply beautiful! I can not wait for you to finish it all! It's pretty accurate, all things considered. In the movie, the lockers were on the left wall from the entrance. The desk area were Janine sits looks good, along with the area behind here which was Peter Venkmans office. The containment unit was also downstairs in the basement. Again, this is lego, so it couldn't be 100% movie accurate, but this does look awesome and is excellent!

The circus would have to be huge to match the scale of the modulars though.

It was a great build. I can't wait for the next one!

I have all of them also! I am in the process of building my own modulars to fill the voids. I have 1 project about 90% done, 1 65% done, 1 40% done and 1 in the pre-lim stages. I'm just waiting for the brick link orders to come in.

Talk about fast shipping! I just finished building the first floor of it. So far it's been a nice build!

Must have

I ordered it also. Once I receive it, I will own ALL of the modulars. Can not wait!

What are boxes? I don't think I have heard of them before.

Cosmic Cube Escape or Cap vs. Hydra Both were great sets.

Light Bluish Gray Brick, Modified 1 x 1 with Stud on 1 Sid - Need 457 Is that accurate? That seems like an awful lot? Also, I converted all the Dark Orange into Dark Red for cost issues, availability on almost all parts (sans the 1 x 3 bricks) and a more firehouse look.
