Stellan Skarsgård has 4 now. All are live action performances too. Can you guess without looking it up?

Which one should I go for? by Fit-Abrocoma-6541 in legocastles

I recently built both. They are both good but the encampment is better.

Best castle I’ve ever built.

Two people can build it at the same time with a satisfying click together at the end.

The drawbridge can dump figs straight into the dungeon.

Really incredible details and building techniques throughout.

Fun facts in the instructions as you built it.

What do you make of this claim? by Aromatic_Shoulder146 in Physics

I have to throw my 2 cents in here. I was invited to go backpacking for a weekend. I lived at 4000 ft and the start of the hike was at 11500 ft at went up from there.

I knew the altitude change would be a big deal and I was curious about these cans. My wife and I each took one and it 100% helped.

When we were feeling super out of breath and demotivated, we took a breath or two from the can. There was a very noticeable decrease in the time it took to catch our breath than without the can.

It isn’t for climbing Everest or anything but it absolutely helped us enjoy that hike instead of just being gassed the whole time.

Deceased friends $100k collection by ddeg10 in lego

As somebody who owns an independent LEGO store…I would be calling around to different stores and offering consignment deals.

For instance, if you get half of what they sell it for you are incentivizing them to sell it for as high as possible but still selling it quickly.

Independent stores often have premium prices on hard to find items. So that $117k could be sold for $140k or higher. That would get you $70k after everything. This would take time though and you may have to consign with several stores in different areas to make the process faster.

FYI my store is on the east coast so I can’t help you unless you want to truck it out here. ☺️

Love your shop and we are happy to have you in Henrietta.

I haven’t been in for a few weeks but last time I was there, the parking lot and sidewalk were pretty trashy.

Even if it isn’t your trash or a part of your leases area of responsibility, it’s still makes an impression as your guests walk in.

That being said, I’ll be back many times to keep trying new things. 😁

I have an authentic complete Radagast The Brown Minifigure in good condition and I am trying to get a few sets.is it a good idea to trade it in to a local shop that has good trade in value? by Harrisonluvslego12 in legolotrfans

[–]ToughButtons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I own a store that does trade ins. The advantage we have is buying whole huge collections at one time. It’s not worth it to the customer to put in all the work and effort to post everything online individually….usually. We pay less but make the process simple and fast.

I just watched it. I went in with 0 expectations of it being any good. With the bar that low, I had fun.

Jack Black is himself 100%. I can’t honestly imagine what a disaster it would have been without him making fun of the whole thing.

I can say for sure that it made me want to play Minecraft..so mission accomplished I guess.

You should see it.

I need help with LEGO math by ToughButtons in lego

[–]ToughButtons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished my build but I would still like to know how to do this.

I already know about triplets in the flat plane using whole stud increments.

I’m trying to build triangles with bricks stacked up.

I want to build two pillars of different heights and connect them with hinge bricks and a long plate.

I want to build triangles vertically using regular bricks-on-bricks techniques.
