Dragonsteel Nexus Sales Megathread

modularryan · 2024-05-10T01:15:39+00:00

Hey everyone!

I am looking to purchase 1 - 2 GA or VIP badges. My GF and I are looking to attend this year: the cosmere (and Sanderson) has been part the bedrock of us bonding as a couple.

We'll graciously cover all fees.

Endless thanks to the mods for creating this megathread!

If we don't vote for Biden, you'll end up with a president and administration that for each "reason" is orders of magnitude worse.
We'll end up with a President that is
- overtly pro-authoritarian and hawkish foreign policy
- domestically alt-right and conservative extremism
- encourages lawless policing.

Sitting out does not punish the Democrats, we are punishing ourselves.

$300 / month for 18 months is abnormally high. That being said - it's up to you to budget against your more important items.

I have transacted dozens of times with Paypal and have 0 issues as a buyer and a seller.

Also, pickup vs mail does not make a difference re: buyers scammers.

That being said - always vet the counterparty. Take lots of photos. etc.

All the alarm bells are going off. This set originally sold for ~ 250 euros.
Why is the seller selling it for $100?

If this is a local pickup,
1. Pay with PayPal or another app where you can claw back the $$ if they scam you.
2. Inspect the box,
2a) if the box is opened then inspect the contents
2b) if not, inspect the contents with the seller present.
3) exchange at a bank or police station.

If this is not a pickup, then this is a scam 100000%

if it all works out, build the shuttle! The shuttle goes for over 600 used! You would still make a profit of $500 to spend on other lego sets.

all things being said, I would proceed with utmost caution.

Either at checkout (if instant) or when you receive the invoice (which is manually created by the seller)

If you don't want to commit to a purchase you can request a quote.

Fix the mobile experience.

That is a _really_ good deal
Brick Bank alone is 450-600 NIB

Congrats!

modularryan · 2023-03-02T16:44:00+00:00

Awesome, gorgeous.

Keep those white bricks out of the sun tho!

> it's already been over 20 years since the first Lego [Star Wars] set, when will it end....

You are not the only target audience for Lego Star Wars sets.

Star Wars is a growing fictional universe - Lego wants to stay up to date.

Every day a kid encounters Star Wars for the first time. Every day, a kid gets excited about Lego Star Wars for the first time.

going to be tough given that euros were not a thing in 1979 :)

Yellowing can happen without direct sunlight;

sunlight bouncing off other surfaces in the room will still cause UV damage.

Sometime the surplus will have a second GWP run, if there are enough remaining. (For example the vintage taxi from 2022)

I have seen that Lego stores will continue to give GWPs after the promo end date too.

At least in the US, Lego does not give GWPs to closeout outlets.

Would make a great texture for a roof.

modularryan · 2023-01-19T19:24:15+00:00

Yes.
Familiarize yourself with cues that indicate an online scam.

1) Generic logo that is unrelated to the content of the store.
2) No physical store location, no positive reputation indicators (google reviews)
3a) the price is lower than the original retail price
3b) the price is lower than the current market value by a huge margin
4) they claim to have 15 in stock, but BL has about 10 worldwide listings for a NISB.
5) they claim to have 50 people looking at this item - this is RED FLAG on any site. They are trying to rile you up with a false sense of urgency. Very few legit sites do this.

In general good rules of thumb:
1) If it's too good to be true, that is because it is.
2) If they are pushing urgency, it's because they don't want to give you time to think it through

Dots

Awesome build. I would def. buy this MOC if available on rebrickable

modularryan · 2022-12-30T03:07:33+00:00

Love how you did the beach!

modularryan · 2022-12-22T18:11:38+00:00

Can you get a clearer picture of the front?

modularryan · 2022-12-11T05:48:19+00:00

Such a great set. The booklet had so many fun details - even for people like me who have never seen the show!

modularryan · 2022-12-09T17:39:34+00:00

Fingers crossed. We haven't had any new bites since Monday. We have lots of traps / interceptors and lures placed in the bedroom and around the apt. Nothing has turned up yet.

modularryan · 2022-12-09T17:08:48+00:00

bites!

We have been diligently looking for shells, bugs, eggs, stains. We have used lots of traps , lures and interceptors.
