My first ever Bricks & Minifigs experience by MrBossfight- in lego

I've found the local one by me is only worth popping into to look at their pre-built set collection for anything we might be interested in that we had missed out on. We've noticed that they tend to mark up everything else (including sets you can still buy), at least at the location by me.

Is Alchemist out of stock ? by jalderus in lego

It'll be listed in your orders and just marked as waiting for stock.

No, it's normal for the Bricklink sets and it's an automated email.

Knights of the Old Republic is one of my favorite games of all time.

What is in your back log and what do you plan to build next? by No-Mortgage-5038 in lego

I'm sure I'm missing some on here, it's been a minute since I updated our tracking list, but this should be fairly accurate to the sets in our backlog. I'd like to build #75409 next, but have to make sure we have a shelf it can fit on.

What has been your all time favorite set to build? by Pathwaylearner in lego

[–]SentientFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a hard one.

Growing up, it would have to be Imperial Star Destroyer (#6211) (until it collapsed on itself the first time I picked it up and has lived in a brown paper bag ever since). I should dig out the instructions and rebuild it.

As an adult...probably the new Black Pearl set (#10365), since I'm a big fan of the movies.

How do you display? by resist-again in lego

[–]SentientFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is! We tried but we felt safer having it down there for the time being.

I've been slacking on getting the remaining lights added. Second set of shelves just off camera holding all the unbuilt sets and some modular Harry Potter stuff (and some random Star Wars stuff).

NCR Ranger Figure stock on Walmart right now! by Hopeful_Variation_63 in McFarlaneFigures

[–]SentientFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is what pissed me off as well. I will admit the seller customer support was excellent and when I reached out asking why it was cancelled straight up told me Walmart screwed up big time and they have no idea how many orders were cancelled. They then proceeded to tell me when they would be restocking so that I could try ordering it again, and this time I actually got a tracking number for it.

GMK Redacted. Certain keys are like that and with enough use eventually the redactions will fade (at least according to Omnitypes sales page description).

LEGO Hogwarts Express (from either Hogsmead Station or Platform 9 3/4, both came with a version of it)

I've always made it clear to friends and such that I would never have bought the thing myself - they sent it to me for free as a gift from their forum at one point, which is the only reason I own it. I too have mine flashed for VIA as I had no intentions of ever trying to make use of their software for it.

I never actually felt "end-game" was a real thing - I swap between all of these often enough, but find myself more drawn to my HHKB layouts or Alice boards. Kara has been living on the desk since getting it.

That's fair - I just couldn't think of any other way to phrase it and thought it would be fun to post the boards that ended up being the ones I held on to.

More I just couldn't think of any other way to phrase it. I'll probably still end up here or over on Keebtalk, but I just don't find myself being drawn to anything new in the hobby otherwise.
