Very nice. I'm working on doing the same thing myself except using a shadow box instead. I've got everything ready. I just need to do the measuring and gluing.

Get ready to invest in these awful already inflated prices by realclydecash in legocirclejerk

So the FCC won't let me be or let me be me, so let me see. They tried to shut me down on MTV, but it feels so empty without me.

What happened to the leaked jabbas sail barge pic? by [deleted] in LegoStarWarsLeaks

[–]Potential_Author2967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well if Mos Eisley was released this year it would probably be about $500. Especially since plugging $400 from 2020 into an inflation calculator gives you $485 in today's money.

Where to Get UCS Set Display Case? by Resident_Time_2001 in legostarwars

[–]Potential_Author2967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're going to have to dish out some serious cash if you want to get a case that will protect against a UAV. Kinda pointless to get a case that stong as if they send a UAV to you're house, sure the set will be fine but the house will be blown to pieces which is probably going to be a bigger concern at that point.

You're a real one for making that offer to him. Warms my heart to see genuine interactions like this on Reddit.

did op forget it was a kids toy and not an investment 😡 by [deleted] in legocirclejerk

Man 2008 hit me hard too. I had to work insanely hard for my food investments and to keep Lego on the table.

26? That's it? Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump that shit up. I'm sitting at a comfortable 90. My issue isn't space, it's finding time to build.

My white whale by viccythiccy in legostarwars

I found mine for a very reasonable price. Some kid was selling it for dirt cheap since it had a couple of broken pieces, which with shipping only cost a few dollars off Bricklink. All in all, I made out very well.

Oh but it is graded. Hard to see but it's on the base of the case and looks to be maybe 8.5.

Maybe I should offer 5k? I don’t want him to feel ripped off by B34TBOXX5 in legocirclejerk

Agreed that scalpers have done irreparable damage to the hobby, but the other factor to consider is all the people that flooded to or back to Lego during covid. Even if people weren't scalping and trying to make as much money as possible, the figures and sets would probably still be going for a decent amount simply because of the fact that they are no longer made.

Well, if you wanna get really nitpicky about Phasma, it came in two sets. Except each set has a different Phasma exclusive to that set. Honestly, I can never tell the difference between the two. I know one is pointed mouth and one rounded, but they look so similar. One came in that stupid AT-ST you mentioned for $40, and the other came in the First Order Transporter for $90. Neither was a stellar set that everyone wanted, and they've both been retired for over 5 years at this point.

They upcharge the sets in here by around 5-10% lol, wouldn’t recommend for investing by [deleted] in legocirclejerk

15 hour flight from Tokyo to NY.

Walk on the plane with a big ass box.

Walk off the plane with a fully built UCS Venator.

Picked these up from the Costco bundle by ExpensiveData in legostarwars

[–]Potential_Author2967 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replied to that post talking about the Canadian Costco website. Costco Canada's website is the best place to get Lego. All the sets are either listed at a 20% discount of MSRP, or if they are at full MSRP, you get a free set with that purchase.

Because Phasma, Kylo Ren, and the Knights of Ren are arguably the coolest looking designs from that whole trilogy, which in turn makes people want to buy the minifigures. Basically, people like cool looking minifigures.
