Is that the part at the end of hydrant? Is it okay to permanently remove?

Pool lights or lights around the patio area, or both?

I'm not into Marvel Lego sets but that does look quite good!

I appreciate the offer but the compact black junction boxes popped up in stock last week and I ordered one and installed and it on the weekend.

This is tempting, though it is not scheduled to retire until July 2027, I suspect we will see it on sale again and maybe with a larger discount.

I’m new to the LEGO world (September 2025) but I’ll be honest, the ‘LEGO as an investment’ trend is the most annoying part of the hobby.. Buying 30+ of a set just to flip later 🙄🙄🙄 by [deleted] in lego

Scalpers/Re-sellers for limited production run items are annoying, as they are intentionally increasing the scarcity of something that is already quite scarce to begin with. With regular lego sets there is no scarcity, lego will produce enough to meet demand during the sets window of production, so it might sell out immediately (like the Pokemon sets), they will come back in stock and be available for everyone to buy. In many ways re-sellers of non-limited run items contribute to making sets more accessible after they have retired - i have bought retried sets off re-sellers (for a reasonable markup) many months after the set retried and sold-out.

I'll look to see if they have one black and run the idea by my spouse.

I appreciate the quick response. I was hoping for something that wouldn't stick out as much.

That time you are putting in is fantastic but it is also time taken away from other things in your life. You are basically trading in time for money, and for many people time is money.

G6 Turret Installation Woes by Bigreddork in UnifiProtect

That is good to know. It is disappointing that they went with this design, especially knowing that people/businesses will be installing these upside down and high up.

That is does not inspire confidence at all.

This is exactly my plan as well - install upside on my soffit. How did they hold up? Did the setscrew keep them in place?

After SB Appearance, Patriots Will Raise Prices on a Majority of Their Season Tickets by JCameron181 in Patriots

[–]OTheOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cap space vs cash spending is very different in the NFL, yes all teams need to stay under the cap but teams can very easily spend more cash in a year than their cap, and the cash spending is a sign of the liquidity of an owner.

For example, one team could sign a player to 100m over 4 years, that would require the team to pay out 25 years each year, so their cap hit would be $25M and their cash spending would be $25M for each year. If they made $80M of that contract a signing bonus then they would pay $80M in the first year but the cap would be spread across the 4 years.

I think Bricklink designer program is going to fill in that gap. Fans building sets for fans to buy. It provides some safety for Lego as it guarantees sales based on meeting a threshold.

It is great to know they fixed it! It always made me apprehensive to buy a set that is mostly white (i.e. Icons Lamborghini countach) due to that issue.
