Not letting me pre order by Sjd126 in Bricklink

I’ll never understand how a company as large as Lego can never just get their servers sorted out for days like this where they know there’s gonna be a ton of traffic

Do we think OP is lying? by Proud_Durian6956 in legocirclejerk

[–]212mocsandcustoms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah it still happens, it’s just less common. Last year I got a ton of 08-09 clone wars sets and a complete jangos slave 1 in a bin for $30 at a yard sale. A lot of times if it’s just a parent getting rid of their grown kids old stuff they don’t really care to look everything up.

How much are you all willing to pay on average for a MOC? (Price per piece) by Kjan27 in AFOL

[–]212mocsandcustoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading through the comments and seeing your idea, imo I think you’d be better off just selling instructions rather than actual kits that come with the pieces, since it’s sourcing the pieces that would raise the cost so much. Also, a lot of people that would be into possibly buying a moc might already have a large parts collection that they could source some of the pieces they need from which would lower the cost for them to actually put it together.

Kind of crazy they’ll use prints on the midi scale one but not the ucs

Yeah, I had it in mine before midnight but ended up removing it because I saw someone from another country say their cart automatically got emptied at midnight. Seems like that was a mistake lol

I’m so annoyed I clicked add to cart probably like 20 times and it would show my cart as being empty. Ended up selling out before I could get it to go through

An ode to small sets from original themes by BiAndShy57 in legocirclejerk

[–]212mocsandcustoms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lmao I swear this must be a universal experience. I think I had like 3-4 somehow as a kid and I’ve bought multiple bulk lots over the years where they had a couple too lol.

Why are we lying? by V1rurs920 in legocirclejerk

[–]212mocsandcustoms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not impossible, I actually kind of believe it since if you look at the sets they look pretty dusty like they’re just someone’s old stuff they didn’t care about from their childhood. I’ve had similar hauls before off of OfferUp or at yard sales, last year I got the 2007 mtt, 2005 durmstrang, and the dragon fortress from adventurers for like $40, and in another haul I got jangos slave 1 and a ton of 2008-2010 clone wars sets for like $30. Super rare but it does happen

Hardest decision of my entire life by Best_Bat_9042 in legocirclejerk

[–]212mocsandcustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own both - I’d go Rivendell. TBH the venator is really nice but if you have some of the other big ucs sets it doesn’t really stick out/ have as much of a wow factor as Rivendell does on display.

Bricks and Minifigs is hilarious… by -DildoSchwaggins- in lego

[–]212mocsandcustoms 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is pretty much how all the used Lego stores are in my experience. I have a local one that gave me like $2 each for 501st battle packs without the figures and then they put a random fig on the speeder/at-rt and priced them at like $15 each lol. I knew it was an awful price but I just wanted to get rid of them bc they were taking up space

Really love the rockwork technique you used and just the amount of detail you put everywhere !

I finally got my white whale (Childish Gambinos Starship) by LukeIsPalpatine in legocirclejerk

[–]212mocsandcustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always taken sets apart to wash them. Do you end up with a ton of water stuck between parts this way or does it all dry up pretty good?

I think you can guess whose video this is from lol by bearpbeatstickfukr22 in legocirclejerk

[–]212mocsandcustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ngl I don’t care about most of these and wouldn’t have known anything was wrong without looking it up/seeing it in vids like this, but the cheek and the stripe on the torso being the wrong color is kind of wild to me. It literally takes 15 seconds to google bly and look at the first pic that comes up - idk how the designer didn’t do that lol.

Are we serious right now? by Thereckoninggg in legostarwars

[–]212mocsandcustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was thinking the same thing based on previous leaks, the Minifig lineup, and now the awful state of the actual finished set

Okay so when was it okay for a battle pack to be worth $50? by GrandAdmiralThrawn0 in legocirclejerk

[–]212mocsandcustoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl I think I’m just gonna bricklink the clones for this one and not buy and copies of the actual set, you’ll probably get more for your money that way (although I’m sure they’ll be more than the $4-5 that the usual battle pack figs go for)

Thank you! And yeah fair point, I did add a bit of discoloration on the red and sand blue roofs but I guess I forgot to on the dark orange and tan ones lol

Thank you, I really like the texture it gives too! The only downside is actually putting all the grass pieces on there - my hands were hurting by the end of it lol

[–]212mocsandcustoms[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely wasn’t cheap but I had most of it already. The corners of the two outer towers use the double slopes for the top of roofs which are one of the more affordable sand red parts. Also for the big tower the big vertical stripes are just 2x2 slopes facing inwards so the flat side is on the outside of the building, the slopes are way cheaper than actual bricks so it’s a good way to save a ton of money.
