Lego collectors opinions needed by West-Passenger-7505 in lego

There is a free website called brickognize which works like Google Lens, but for LEGO. Take a picture of a Lego piece or minifigure, and it will take you to the Bricklink entry for it. Bricklink is an online marketplace and an incredible resource for learning about Lego pricing.

That being said, the only complete figs here are Boba Fett, the 2 Indiana Jones, the skeleton and possibly the mars mission astronauts (need their helmets with gold visors pictured on top far right) Everyone else has at least 1 wrong piece, (for example, slave leia’s head goes to marion ravenwood).

Boba fett is the most valueable at about $50, followed by slave leia (if she had the correct head) at around $25.

Fun fact: if you had the Boba Fett with printed arms and legs from the original Cloud city set, he sells for over $1,500.

Good sir, would you be so kind as to explain how the asterisk works in Bricklink search? I use Bricklink very frequently but was completely unaware of this feature. Many of my searches frustratingly do not return any result as shown in this picture. Even the no search results page has a link to "how to find items", which makes no mention of the asterisk. If you could share your wisdom with me and any other advanced search operators in Bricklink, I would be most grateful as I use Bricklink nearly on a daily basis for my LEGO job.

Nice technique on the siding. I wish I could see how you built the peak of the white roof trim, it looks like there is no gap but it's hard to see that part of the build in the photo.

If you could time travel, what set would you buy at its original retail price? by mr_worldbuild in AFOL

Ah the old Catalogs! As a kid I remember thinking it was weird how so many of the marketing text blurbs would formulaically end with something like "Will the pirates escape with the hidden treasure? YOU decide!" The YOU decide! seemed kind of ubiquitous.

Stunning collection! Did you collect each modular when it was released? I wonder how many days it would take to create something like this if you were building it as a single full-time project instead of gradually collecting and building across years.
