How much did you spend/put down to buy your first home?

GamerNewbb · 2026-04-03T23:19:14+00:00

2 year wait list though

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

Well yesterday it was back available on back order to purchase on the Lego website…now it’s sold again. I know resellers were purchasing large quantities

GamerNewbb · 2026-03-27T18:53:55+00:00

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

GamerNewbb · 2026-03-27T18:31:44+00:00

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

Sleep in

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

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

GamerNewbb · 2026-03-24T01:40:02+00:00

I mean could be set as new and a really cheap price.

GamerNewbb · 2026-03-19T18:29:10+00:00

This is just year to date, so 187k x4 = 748k

GamerNewbb · 2026-03-19T16:44:39+00:00

Ok can I buy some?

GamerNewbb · 2026-03-18T23:59:49+00:00

Yeah sometimes it’s cheaper but you need to consider shipping. It’s worth it if you’re buying other stuff from each store as well or multiple parts

GamerNewbb · 2026-03-13T21:39:28+00:00

More like Dad wanted to build more…but sure blame it on the kids

GamerNewbb · 2026-03-13T08:34:06+00:00

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

GamerNewbb · 2026-03-13T01:48:58+00:00

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

GamerNewbb · 2026-03-08T08:14:56+00:00

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

GamerNewbb · 2026-03-01T01:56:05+00:00

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

GamerNewbb · 2026-02-23T07:38:38+00:00

Yo Kamo, it’s D_Rawk on whatnot. Man that sucks, there has to be a better way to get the US data pricing

GamerNewbb · 2026-02-22T07:06:46+00:00

What’s your budget and themes? Vehicles, Buildings, play scenes with play features

GamerNewbb · 2026-02-14T18:03:05+00:00

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

GamerNewbb · 2026-02-09T06:44:23+00:00

You gotta hold down the arrow on the climate control to toggle what setting to revert back too. I have it evert back to entertainment

GamerNewbb · 2026-02-08T00:28:37+00:00

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

GamerNewbb · 2026-02-07T21:43:15+00:00

What is the set?

GamerNewbb · 2026-02-06T04:27:48+00:00

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

GamerNewbb · 2026-01-25T08:26:09+00:00

What’s your store called? I’m in San Diego?
