@randomdan I have shared on my Facebook page. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing with us. I will be praying for you through this process.
Isn’t Lego headquarters near Boston now?
@pete here is a chance to scratch two bucket list items:
1) visit LEGO headquarters in Enfield, CT
2) attend AnthroConDoes anyone have a high speed camera to record the smashing in Lego Masters style so that the effect of the smash can be analyzed for artistic style?
Better than PayPal Shipping (formerly ShipStation) for yer Bricklink sales?
I haven’t tried PayPal shipping, so I wouldn’t know.
I have been using Pirate Ship for a number of months now. It gets me the same prices for UPS and USPS as Ebay does. I’ve used it a lot for Bricklink sales. Very easy to use interface is a plus.
So it says…and there was much rejoicing
I don’t know. The reference link is dead and when I Google “Pittsburgh Legoland Discovery Center” I do not get any valid hits.
Pittsburgh, this is why we can’t have nice things.
Meh, I swore vendetta against peppi’s years ago…
Haha, @greg did you notice the other face reflection when you took the picture? He looks a bit concerned at the Peppi’s sign you photographed.
Here’s the parts list: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=10284-1
I was just at the airport a couple weeks ago, but did not venture down concourse B. For all the physical stores that are closed in that airport, this kind of makes sense. Who is in charge of restocking it I wonder? Paula? Or just some direct Lego dealer that travels around the country?
I will add captions and comments later but here is a link to see pictures from our day at Legoland New York on May 28th. https://photos.app.goo.gl/rcassHoSKKwVJs6B9
Summary: A bit underwhelming to be honest. Around half of the rides were open, and the rain at 4pm caused three of my kids to miss out on Driving School. The employees were all excited and pleasant. I was impressed with the Factory Tour ride with autonomous vehicles (and glad that we could do that while it was raining outside). Miniland is still a work in progress with none of the interactive features working yet. Also, there are a lot of areas where the long circuitous path is frequently skipped by kids running shortcuts through the growing grass.
Bacons are going on Friday, the last of the First to Play preview days. 5/7 areas are expected to be open. City and Pirates will be closed.
Tickets are now open to the general public to reserve a day from May 29 – June 20. They will only have 6/7 areas open. Pirates is opening later.
My kids are actually watching Looney Tunes right now (HBO Max). “Father, look at this large mouse I found!”
My local Walgreens has the recently released Lego 1000 piece puzzles for sale for $10/ea. The packaging looks a bit different, but the puzzle image and piece count is the same.

So, I bought one of the Ice Cream Dream puzzles and while putting it together with my wife, my purist mindset was disappointed to see that the colors of the ice cream puzzle are added in post-processing. This is evident by how some of the different colors have the exact same parts arrayed in the same orientation. Plus it uses some rare colors that I don’t believe all the parts in the “ice cream” bin are produced in. For instance, the coral color is not available for part 30357 3×3 round corner, but it’s clearly in the image. Oh well. It’s still a nice little puzzle.

I found zero clearance aisle, and nothing of note in the Lego aisle. I did see a large display for a $40 Classic set with 1500 pieces in it. https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Classic-Bricks-Bricks-Plates-11717-Building-Toy-Great-Gift-for-Kids-Imaginative-Creative-Educational-Play-1504-Pieces/728689474
