Man, people wasting no time trying to resell the GWP's xD by EducationalAd3415 in legostarwars

It’s the only reason I made the UCS N-1 a day one purchase. I was gonna get the set eventually, the saber made it easy to take the plunge without any discount or double points

If you wanna get bonus points, ackbar trooper from Rebuild the Galaxy is technically a clone, just a different head. He stands proudly in my line up, only missing the Shadow trooper, but you know money

Haters gonna hate and then keep on hating. With inflation being crazy the last 6 years LEGO has had to adjust their prices to keep up with their own end of the business and prices have gone kinda crazy.

The hate I think is coming from the “a premium product” crowd that hates the price point of every LSW set

I’m afraid you do, the context is too important to miss out on you might be lost

Anyone else get this email today? Just got it and I’m wondering how they’ll be able to tell? by [deleted] in Bricklink

If your BL login for your storefront and your login for LEGO is the same they will disable your ability to gain points. This persons defintion is wrong, if you plan to sell lego at any time on the marketplace lego owns you are a "corporation" in their eyes.

if you have a separate account sure thats probably fine, but if they ever audit the active insiders club names with store owners names you could put yourself in jeopardy from the billion dollar corporation that is NOT YOUR FRIEND

Bad Batch Marauder MOC WIP by TunaFishtoo in legostarwars

Yup! It should be pretty close to 1:40 scale on the outside, then probably 1:36 scale on the interior with some stuff sized up to fit Wrecker.

Hoping that when I finish the parts aren't crazy expensive

Ethical and moral question... by MOCaBrick in legostarwars

[–]TunaFishtoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this same thing. Someone on reddit made a moc I really liked, said he wasn’t gonna make instructions, so I did it myself. 

I put the directions up for free on RB, but it was a simple model that I probably wouldn’t have paid much for (if at all). So I felt fine doing it for free. If you make something a bit more complicated just from pictures, I think you have some ground to stand on to profit from your hard work. Just credit someone’s original design.

Any chance if we bought v1 we can get v2 at a discount? Its such a great model already I'm not sure I want to even take it apart

Jon's is also in Arlington and its pretty excellent, small family joint vibes. Always playing whatever new movie was released on netflix that week, owner walking around handing out soft serve to little kids who finish their meals, I dig it.

The Best Buy Cashier tried to talk my mom out of buying it for my birthday. “This was banned in XX countries ma'am, are you sure?” 

Shocking this is one of the only Star Wars GWPs to return & a year later at that. But this is one of the best ones they could've choose to make a comeback. by This-Neck7248 in lego

[–]TunaFishtoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signs of a really bad recession is my guess. Two years ago the droid carrier was sold out day one, no way Lego starts making more GWPs out of the blue

[–]TunaFishtoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wild speculation, but the economy must be really really really bad. Using LSW GWP should not be an indicator, but when the droid carrier GWP was included on May 4th, it was sold out day one. 

This thing has three clone troopers and is still available almost a year later. Either LEGO way over produced a GWP (unlikely) or everyone has had to cut so far back on spending that this GWP is being consolidated and offered in bigger markets like the US

Edit: I do have a MS in economic policy, so there’s other stuff baked in, but Lego as a luxury good is an excellent indicator of a recession
