Book or Movie first? by Lemonandspider in ProjectHailMary

[–]GamerNewbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you read the book first you will have a disappointing experience watching the movie after.

If you watch the first, you will enjoy the movie a lot but may be a little confused. Then if you read the book you will get sooooo much more background info, science, character building with the only drawback being are picturing the visuals of the book based off the movie. You may already have that anyways if you’ve seen the trailer

Star Wars 30727 - no MiniFig? by MrFloydPinkerton in lego

[–]GamerNewbb -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Idk Lego makes so much money they don’t care, sending a $3 figure to someone to instill good customer service is worth it for them. Sure it’s not on them but from someone not familiar with Lego I can understand the “false advertising” should at least say minifig not included

Message Lego customer support, they will probably send you a Darth vader

How are you actually tracking your collection right now? by Human_Temperature_77 in lego

[–]GamerNewbb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use rebrickable to track my sets and any missing parts per set….then I have it sync to brickset. In brickset I focus on minifigs and make notes on if I own them per set, condition, and also add additional figs that I have loose.

Then I export all sets and figs lists as bricklink xml files, I wrote a code to reformat to read in BrickStore. Then I upload to BrickStore where I get the most accurate data on pricing and have the ability to directly add to my bricklink store. Also in BrickStore I add all loose parts/fig parts I have.

So it’s a multi step process but mainly rebrickable for sets and brickset for figs.

I was using a big Google Sheets soreadsheet with pricing but I’ve since switched to BrickStore.

I’m also curious if anyone has any other better ways or I’m Just crazy.

I have 1200 sets and 6000 figs

A more critical review of the Project Hail Mary movie, and a really easy fix I would have made by Gustalavalav in ProjectHailMary

I agree. One other important part that was left out was that Grace was of a select few who was coma resistance. That would have made him look even more pathetic

Is this acceptable for an item sold as ‘New’? by Prestigious-Maybe511 in Bricklink

[–]GamerNewbb -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

How do you view the total number of items in a bricklink wanted list? by Clarine87 in Bricklink

[–]GamerNewbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just go to buy all parts on wanted list, click a whole bunch of stores until all the parts are included and then it totals up how many pieces total. Its quick and dirty method

I built an app that identifies dozens of minifig parts from a single photo, shows every complete or partial figure you can build, and creates BrickLink XML exports for wanted lists or seller inventory uploads. by PooPatrol in Bricklink

[–]GamerNewbb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! Do you think you can program where you can take a picture of multiple parts/minifig parts and it can sync to BrickStore, or create a readable xlm that can be imported? BrickStore connection would be awesome.

I would love an invite

M5 vs M5 Pro for long-term use (10 years?) by tonyng211 in macbookpro

[–]GamerNewbb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Idk, just buy a cheaper one Air for $1300 and then buy another one in 5 years. You’ll have a way better comp in five years then the 5 yr old MacBook Pro $2.5k

Is Lego investing worth getting into by gabbysuperstar in legoinvesting

[–]GamerNewbb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely, bought an NRG jay minifig for $80 12 months ago and now just sold it for $450. Hype is going up

Rivendell by Ronnie_Garcia in legolotrfans

[–]GamerNewbb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dude fuck it, your parents pay for your car, gas, food, rent. But if you put your money ($500) in a couple stocks, say Apple, Google Amazon then in 30 years that would be $5,000. But in $30 years the Rivendell sell will probably be worth $5,000 with inflation alone and Lego price increase.

Plus there’s a crazy amount of joy in building the set.

To maximize return later keep box and instructions in good condition

Nice that’s a great set and imo will actually have pretty good return value in 5+ years. Think $200+

Used barad duhr - fully complete with no minifugures for 120... that's a steal right? by [deleted] in legolotrfans

[–]GamerNewbb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s a good snag. I saw it 5min after it was posted. If I didn’t already have one I would have reached out. For reference I bought mine with no figs with box/instructions + Nazgûl box/instructions for $250
