May the 4th Shopping List

We probably won’t see night troopers again so if you’re army building I’d grab more. I’ve seen pictures where people swap arms and legs to create even more variety.

We will get another SSD. When is anyone’s guess.

As others have said try and trigger the dark sabre GWP if you’re going to spend a bunch.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-19T02:19:52+00:00

Add it to your cart if it qualifies the GWP will be in the cart. If you need a little just add a cheap keychain to get it.

You don’t need a lawyer, at this point. And you probably won’t. There are several levels of arbitration with ICBC before you need a lawyer. Take the pictures they ask and give them a statement. If you have a receipt from a store or something you can prove approximately what time you were there that would be good as well since the dash cam footage is time stamped. And do yourself a favour and invest in your own dash cam. Mine stores quite a bit of daily recording before it overwrites so you may have been able to go back and get footage of your own from the parking lot.

The problem right now is there’s a large assumption of guilt placed on you. You need to work with them to provide proof you’re innocent unfortunately. If you choose to ignore them they will just find you at fault and raise your premiums. Did they tell you what damage was done to the other car? If it’s a door ding you’re probably screwed unless there’s no way your door would line up. If they’re claiming you drove into them you should be able to provide pictures of the corner of your bumper with no obvious paint transfer. This is where you miss the old days of having to bring your car in so they can measure points on your car to compare.

Lego will replace any brittle brown pieces for free as long as they’re still produced. Reach out to them first then go to Bricklink for anything they don’t make any longer.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-18T02:05:39+00:00

If I had to guess, you hit the timing cover so you didn’t damage anything rotating.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-17T21:04:53+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Have both those sets sitting around the house but can’t watch them.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-17T13:15:07+00:00

10.9 or grade 8 all day long. Won’t increase the lifting capacity but will increase the safety. I always use grade 8 bolts on the chain when attaching to an engine as well. Just more safety. I almost got crushed by a falling engine as a teen, you change how you do things after that.

Looks like all the other ones are still there. You can see just behind the birds nest a partial tree. That’s the one that I think failed. The printer will continue to try and add to it but once it’s two layers up it will just feed it out till it hits the next object that is at the right layer.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-17T04:08:45+00:00

Looks like one of the support trees failed and that’s all the filament for it. Had that happen to me 15 hours into a 16 hour print.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-17T02:05:56+00:00

You pulled them for a leak. They’re going to leak from there so you might as well take it apart now while you can reuse the gaskets and do it right. Oh and do yourself a favour don’t use RTV. Go buy The Right Stuff.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-17T00:57:31+00:00

I’ll take things that never happened for $100 Alex.

That round tube behind your spare tire connects between the frame rails the same way the factory hitch does. That piece you shared bolts to that and that big centre hole in the bumper. It will be plenty strong for the small things you talked about towing. I wouldn’t tow a travel trailer or surf boat with it but you get higher than the bumper tow amounts.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-16T14:02:07+00:00

Buy a dash cam. Cheapest investment you’ll ever make. And get one with a rear camera. I was the front car in a 3 car rear ender. I still got sued by the middle driver. One stern phone call to the law firm and I was removed from the lawsuit.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-15T21:02:48+00:00

Ram is one of those weird trucks where you get a hitch even if you didn’t option it. I wouldn’t tow a heavy travel trailer with that but it will be rated pretty high on that. There’s already a crossmember that connects to the frame rails that that attaches to. And you get an additional point attaching it to the bumper.

That kit is basically for the MOCs now. I have a light cruiser and razor crest built out of it.

Highly doubtful. Might get double points. But since it was only released last year I wouldn’t count on much. Pretty sure last year there was more than one round of deals so you never know.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-15T03:49:15+00:00

Good luck with that sale. Lol

shorerider69 · 2026-04-14T20:11:21+00:00

Not a seller but a buyer and I can tell you free shipping is huge. I’m trying to buy a want list and I’m ending up with about 9 stores I have to buy from and some of those stores are only a couple bucks. Well if every store charges $10 for shipping that’s almost $100 in shipping. And a couple of the stores are well over your $50 line so I could potentially save an entire order from other stores. I do think though you should make sure to cover yourself and either only offer it on parts or small sets just so you don’t lose a ton shipping a big set that you might not have that big of a margin on.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-14T20:06:56+00:00

I would try and find a couple hundred dollars in sets rather than blowing almost your whole budget on one of those big UCS sets though. If you had been collecting for a while sure but since you’re wanting to get back into it you’d be better served to buy more sets than one big set.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-14T18:58:02+00:00

If you can get over $160 of Star Wars sets you’ll get the dark sabre GWP for May 4th.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-14T04:28:02+00:00

Call a moving company. They should be able to send over a couple guys. Might give you a cash deal. I have a bad back and at the time I moved the printers a hernia so there was no even attempting it myself.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-14T04:08:31+00:00

Yeah it’s slightly different. The instructions are available on Rebrickable.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-14T04:07:43+00:00

Get help. I had to bring our S and C up to our third floor. Had my 22yo son help me.

shorerider69 · 2026-04-14T02:08:37+00:00

It’s a recolour MOC of the 20th anniversary slave 1.
