    I have never seen a purchase area where you order from several sellers but pay once. For me, it has always been individual sellers.

    Try ordering direct from LEGO.

    Thanks Josh! Worked great once I figured it out from your tutorial! 🙂

    Yes, I used to be able to resize on post from the iPhone. Now I cannot. So everything in the phone is bigger than the legal site limits. On the last post I did, I sent the pics to myself via an email and resized on the attach function tot he email. Then I posted that way from a PC.

    I don’t like the extra step for sure. Used to be quite simple.

    I got a shipment notification today with the GWP stack and this redemption in the order. I did have one set I ordered on discount canceled within the order. The rest of the order seems to be fine though. Fingers crossed it comes but it should.

    I already know I have an addiction to buying lego. Especially Lego Minifigures. Did you really need to package my purchase in a pill bottle BrickLink seller??? 😂

    UPDATE: I tried replacing the 1×8 plates with 2×8 plates, to see if that would help strengthen against the bending. It did not.

    You are exposing slight variations piece to piece in the manufacturing and molding process. Across distances those variations add up to slight measurement inconsistency and bend. I watched a video on YouTube a year ago about this in a life sized scale build of a bathroom and the builder showed it in that build. Interesting inconsistencies showing consistently builder to builder! LOL

    Wish I could remember the builder. Oh well, my brain is old! 😂😬😜

    Interesting. We placed an order when the GWP started, both for the steamboat willie and for shirts for our trip next month and had no issues. Shipping was a bit longer than usual but nothing outside of that. Sorry to hear about your loss of a set. Wish I had a second one to offer ya.

    Glad it worked out for you. Yeah, I got my “Disney” merch, just not the Lego.

    A Public Service Announcement:

    Careful ordering through Disney site vs Lego site. I ordered a Lego set through there when they had the Mickey Steam Boat Willie GWP a couple weeks ago. They had it available a couple days before the Lego site so I thought, “why not.” Got an order confirmation. Then a week later a delay email. Last night, a cancelation. The set and the GWP. So no Mickey boat GWP for me as I did not order through Lego during their event thinking I already had one coming.

    Buyer beware.

    My love-hate relationship with Target continues. WHY don’t they have Halloween themed polybags anymore. 🙁

    Also WHY do they put these “25% off toys” signs all over the LEGO aisle and then in fine print it says “excluding LEGO”.

    They did have a preorder on the Dune Ornithopter cheaper than Lego! Does that make up for it?

    In other news: Bluey LEGO when?!?

    Please don’t say that in front of my daughters!

    We need a full size Bluey and Bingo build. Could probably use the Bricker Build Pikachu and just turn it blue or orange.

    Pick A Brick has been updating their list of Animals and Plants with new parts. I saw the new Great White shark pieces, new hammerhead pieces, new Orca was there, new large and small polar bears, new large and small seals, new large and small sea turtles, as well as a myriad of new plant parts and colors. There are a bunch of parts listed with no pictures and some are not in Bricklink either. I believe many are Jurassic Park and Ninjago Dragon Pieces. Some are just heads and some are legs. I could not see any bodies in there. Like the elephant body I am STILLLLLLLLL WAITING ON….they may never come out with the bodies. Maybe just heads, arms, and legs. Only time will tell.

    Go take a look at the Pick and Build area, Pick A Brick, and focus on the Category – Animals and Nature. You will see it if it is available. The Orcas lasted about 12 hours or something so don’t hold your breath.

    As always, Happy Hunting!

    I don’t know what your final storage looks like but for me each of those bins would be another week on average of sorting into individual parts. See you in another year! 😂

    I watched this whole display overview when BTB first interviewed you! Great display! I would love to see it in person. I have not had the opportunity to travel to any larger shows like Brickworld or Brickfair, but I know other LUG members have and also displayed so maybe they have met you or at least have seen your display.

    Great work!

    I take sets out their box all the time. Save space. I can fit 3-4 sets in a smaller plastic box. If I had planned to keep it for parts only, I would throw away the instructions too. Who knows….

    Does anyone know what BrickLink ID this might have? I have tried several searches with no luck….statue, idol, T-Rex, dinosaur(that one hurt a lot), figure (also extremely painful).

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Grabbed some baby animals. Lambs and calves were on Pick A Brick. Noticed a black baby Lion on pick a brick as well. Not sure if it is still there. I guess it was in set 60353. I hadn’t seen it before.

    I’m still looking for elephant bodies. Have never seen them available. If you see them please let me know ASAP!

    Thanks!!
