Lego

[sesselpupser]

The new Creator 3-in-1 sets look great, obviously I'm a little disappointed the plane is tiny but all three builds look good. Can't see myself buying three copies but I would like to recolour the other two. The panda family, flamingo and space robot might also end up in our collection, maybe.

It's been a while since I bought any Lego for myself but my son's collection is growing... And shrinking as he loses pieces again. I have tried to keep it safe as we play but his mum just doesn't pay as much attention as I do so things just go missing, nothing too expensive that Bricklink can't help with though so whatever!

Hi, I will introduce myself to this thread with my latest Lego purchase (Christmas gift to myself):

A slight mistake here, I had to retrace and rebuild the left intake. Too bad we can't put a half-torso and a head/helmet to scale, but I understand the darker implications.

It includes an elaborate stand, but I'm debating myself whether it's better to display the car without it.

Done!

I picked up the Chrysanthemum from the Botanical Collection two weeks ago and loved it. So yesterday I bought the Plum Blossom and built it today. There are two more from this set coming up: the Orchid in two weeks, and the Bamboo after that. I’ll get those, too. I really like these because they’re gorgeous, but also they don’t take up a lot of room. Perfect for a renter like me.

Those look waaay better than I thought they would. Great compliment to those books behind them. Very nice setup!

I swear the designer of this model saw my MP4/5

Thank you, but honestly, it’s just a happy coincidence. That is literally the only shelf space I have available that those sets will fit inside.

I have some Lego sets that I want to sell, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

You've got a few options.

1) Ebay Fleabay where you can expect to get lowball and offensive offers
2) Since you are a premium member, you can try to sell them in the Trading Post thread
3) You can also sell them on Brick Link, creating an account is free. There's some hoops to jump through to become a seller, IIRC. Like linking your Paypal account, etc. It only takes a few min to do.
4) Social Media places like FB Marketplace, or Craigslist (more lowball offers, yay!)

I'm not sure what set(s) you have for sale or how much demand there is for them. I'm sure there's other options too, but GL!

Hello yes that's my fault, not sorry.

Another option is independent toy shops that buy second hand Lego but expect them to lowball you so hard your head will spin... Even if you know what it's worth, they also know what it's worth and have to make money on it somehow.
