Hello Lindsay and welcome! I live in Washington, so it’s great that there is finally someone who lives close to me. I am sure we probably know many of the same people in Amity. Your Lego interests are pretty close to mine as well. Never heard of a “waffle” before, but I am curious as to what they are. Thanks for joining!
It looks amazing, I am totally interested, but there is no way I would be able to make a fair offer. It would be insulting to you.
Three of my posts keep getting deleted. Just now I posted successfully. So then I tried to add my flickr link and my post was deleted. This is fun.
I tried posting twice with my flickr link and I was unable to post.
Thanks @greg. I don’t see the Craigslist one anymore. The worst part is I have 2 sets of every minifig, and 2 half sets of the Black Pearl. I may just try to part it out when I have some free time and see what the missing parts will cost me.
The one thing I learned from the first episode is Lego will 100% be releasing a new monorail set. It was the highlight of the entire episode. It was shown in detail multiple times, and even had the QR code take you to a video about the monorail.
Outside of the ferris wheel and almost working roller coaster, I wasn’t super impressed so far with any of the builds from the contestants. I’m hoping things change, because an entire episode of just failures isn’t going to be fun to watch.
I went yesterday to see if they still had any, and they did not. The Walmart in Washington sucks when it comes to Lego. They are slowly introducing new sets, but in a very haphazard way. While walking around I contemplated trying to get a job there, just to fix whatever they are doing.
What kind of brick tape did you use on the bins? I liked how the inventory boxes looked but didn’t want to get something that didn’t stick well.
I don’t think we have any duty to depict diversity in any builds, but we do have a duty to accept diversity in our group. We are limited to what Lego creates and sells. If Lego begins adding ethnic heads into their sets, I am sure that we would all embrace that (at least I hope we would) and they would be incorporated more heavily in our displays. I see enough hate, racism, reverse-racism, sexism, elitism, or any other type of “ism” on Facebook, TV, and in the world, that I honestly don’t want to deal with it when I am building/displaying and having fun with the public. My apologies if I offended anyone by not including an -ism that is very near and dear to their heart. The majority of our builds are for kids (who are the least racist of anyone) and they don’t think about things like that. People are people. I don’t care what color you are, what your religion is, your beliefs, etc. Just don’t be a jerk. My apologies if I offended anyone by not including their specific identity identifier in my example. I wish Lego would move away from yellow heads and produce more skin tones. In the meantime, my train robbing gang will continue to be Friend’s themed women lead by Emma. Because we all know Emma is narcissistic and purely evil. Not all women are narcissistic and evil, that would be sexist. But Emma is. And that is a fact. My apologies if I offended anyone who thinks Emma is kind and loving. But she isn’t. She is evil. And she will rob your train without hesitation.
