Imma pull a BYO LEGO for this event.
Sounds like a recipe for losing some of YO LEGO…
I’ll bring something that I’m not emotionally attached to 🙂
Sorry @greg, I don’t have that one.
Hahah, I was just looking around to find the meeting date. Help a sister out?

Thanks, Matt! Of course, I found it right after asking 🙂
@lwquestie and @paulamalu plenty of time to collaborate on something other than baked goods. just sayin’

Thanks for the thoughtful comments, @greg!
Good point about the parts list, I didn’t think of that and had no idea it would be possible to use non-existing parts in the designer software.
Sorta, kinda on a tangent – has anyone had any experience with ordering custom modular directions on eBay? I’ve seen some interesting things on there.
@acilsakura – This is the one I mentioned to you yesterday –
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-Custom-Modular-Ladies-Apartment-INSTRUCTIONS-ONLY-/142255734530@philmatt24 – Where do they want this stuff shared? Motivation to finish my parisian cafe!
Here is another possibility I just discovered: http://www.columbusmuseum.org/think-outside-the-brick-the-creative-art-of-lego/ I visited the Science museum in Columbus (COSI) once, but not the Art museum.
Ooooh, field trip with bonus Lego Store opportunity!
Hi, @arcadiumsol, welcome!
If you feel like getting out and about today, head over to SW Randall Toys downtown or to the PA Trolley Museum to meet some LUG members and see the displays.
Yep, you’re right. It was totally your fault.
As per the usssss…….
FYI, you can create a store in bricklink and keep it closed if you don’t want to sell anything. You can also “keep parts in inventory” if you want to keep the store open but not sell certain things.
Thanks for the tip. I may consider that in the future, but the interface is so ugly. Brickset is much more pleasing to the eyes.
OK, cool. Generally speaking, I make teh jokes with abandon, but I wanted to make sure it wasn’t legitimately offending you, since you’re new-ish and humor/tone (i.e. – faux anger) doesn’t always translate online.But yeah, if you think counting is fun, then by all means, do that!
No worries; I may be new to the group, but I am not new to the internet. I should have added a LOL or winky face.
Please excuse me while I sort out my new set to start building (but only after adding it to the inventory)!
Don’t hate on the new girl, dude!
Wait, what about my comments was construed as “hating on the new girl”…? That was not my intention at all…
LOL, just kidding 😀 This may help you understand why I didn’t mind verifying LUGBulk orders the other day 😀
OK, in that case, I’m just going to stop talking, because that’s a level of personal inventory management that I’ll never even attempt to handle. You kids have fun; sorry for making lame jokes and pointing fingers without even understanding the question!Don’t hate on the new girl, dude!
Thanks for the tips! I’ll look at Rebrickable later today. There is definitely value in being able to mark pieces from sets as lost.
And to prove I’m not insane – see photos 😀
I’m finally getting back to entering inventory, and I have some questions about the systems.
Unfortunately, I’m having trouble installing Brickstock, so I’ll have to come back to that one. And Bricklink is so commerce focused, I couldn’t see a way to just add my own personal sets to part out. It seemed like the only way to part was to have a store.
I like the way WallofBricks.com shows the parts qty when sets are added to your account. They only had 2 out of the first 7 sets that I tried to add, so I gave up there.
I really like the interface with BrickSet, but I can’t figure out how to see the broken out parts inventory. They break out the Minifigs, which is nice. Is there something I’m missing on this one?
I see on Rebrickable that I can pull over the sets list from BrickSet and it can run a search to tell me other things I can build with the parts I have, based on those sets, but again, I can’t figure out how to see the parts list.
Some combination of BrickSet plus WallofBricks seems like it would be awwweeesssommmmeeee.
I look forward to thoughts!
ETA – Reading is fundamental! There was a parts inventory setting on BrickSet that needed to be activated.
Yes, TARGET
now has them for $3.99, but not in the LEGO section, you have to go to the “seasonal” section ie. Easter stuff.
Thanks! I like the Target app – it tells you just exactly what aisle to look in!
Does anyone know where these, Olaf polybags,
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?S=30397-1&ColorID=0
are being sold … except LEGO stores?
Didn’t see a reply or followup, but apparently Target now and most area stores supposedly have it now. Going to try and find in the AM.
Welcome, Erin. Maybe still at your parents’ house in the attic or basement?
I wish, but definitely not. They went to a cousin or something when I was ‘too grown up for toys’.
Welcome, Erin! Get dahn to the PA Trolley Museum this weekend & next for Santa Trolley, and/or come to the Q4 meeting next Saturday! Great way to meet some folks!
Unfortunately, I can’t make the meeting on the 12th. 🙁 Will try to get to the Museum tomorrow!
