  My stats are more modest than Nub's, but I spend a lot of time reading the
forum, not just posting. So, I may very well spend even more time in the forum
than he does.

That's why I had this genious idea to save time: never read but always reply.

Yuck!

I only read the Sylvains and 's YouTube transcripts.

  My wife always picks relish, but I tend to root for ketchup. I think mustard
is the least popular in the hot dog races.

As a Costco man, I'm an everything enjoyer.

But I'm really a ketchup boy with a weakness for horseradish cream.

And a personal favourite, the English Breakfast Buttie:
• Wonder Bread (1 slice, buttered)
• Hawaiian rolls (1x3 studs, toasted)
• Pork and beans
• Scrambled eggs
• Fried tomatoes

  Where's the justice bricklinks?

(Woah steady on there! The correct proper term is B-r-i-c-k-L-i-n-k.
Well though, at least you didn't say Legos.)

There's a quote system separate from invoices.
https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2437&q=quote

If sellers don't have quotes set up, you'd have to message them to request
one.

Otherwise:

"Items will be reserved for you, and you will be obligated to purchase them."

  It is about the size of a business card, and has more on the other side.

In 1984, Tyco was making 1:1 copies of bricks (and sets, more or less). I guess,
Lego was including cards in their sets to let them know not all their patents
were expired.

  ~ Why are they selling now after so many years of dormancy, and why are
folks willing to pay such a premium for the Dark Blue color?

Builders and bidding wars?

At one point it had it all: DC comics, movies, games, books, podcasts. With its
own in-story philosophies and factions and constantly evolving characters.

It was exciting. We were bound to be disappointed.

Dark Blue is found

8940-1 (Inv) Karzahni
373 Parts, 2007
Sets: BIONICLE: Warriors

Greg Farshtey [the George Lucas of Bionicle] mentioned in an
interview that Karzahni was his favorite set because it was the
only set featuring a character he created.

  hello cycbuild,I have a problem believing that a couple of boxes of lego could
have a value of anything like this.I can’t dispute the evidence but Still have
a problem accepting these figures.I would like someone to come along,offer me
a reasonable price and take them off my hands,I ‘m not greedy .I would like a
new banjo and if these boxes would make someone happy ,so be it.i appreciate
your reply
Thank you

It's all good. Happy to help out. To adults with disposable incomes, opening
a childhood set is like a ticket to a time machine.

£300 is very reasonable, in my opinion, but you can set the minimum bid lower.

  Hello,I am new to this forum,I am neither a collector or amtrder but I could
do with some help and advice.
I have a sealed ,new ,boxed,twin pack wrapped in sellophane and unopened.
There are 3 Bionicles
8811 Toa Lhikan and Kikanolo
8756 Sidorak
After looking on Brick economy I was surprised to see the prices quoted for sealed
boxes of these models.
I realise that an item is only worth what someone will offer.That being said
Brick economy quoted £388 for 8811,
And £112 for 8756.
My wife bought this pack back in 2004 as a birthday present for someone in the
family but there were too many small parts so we stuck it in the loft and forgot
about it.I recently found it and upon checking it out discovered this world of
lego collectors.
It is nothing more than an accident that we still have it.
My question is where would it be best to sell it.
I have no real interest in lego and would like to let it go .
My problem is,Where do I advertise such a thing.
Please help ,once it is sold I will probably never have any lego again.
My thanks in advance

Wow! That's incredible!

The data is real, but I think your sealed co-pack's value is around £500.

  I'm a casual. I'll play Stardew Valley and Minecraft time to time, maybe
LEGO Worlds.

I thought about getting 2K Drive but 2K being 2K, it's filled with microtransactions.
I also thought about Final Fantasy XVI, but I don't like the M rating. XV
was just fine for me.

Card games and Catan, baby!

I like sandbox and strats. I love swooshys, swingys and pointy-shootys.
Recently, Resident Evil 4 (VR remake), VorpX flight emulators and KSP2.

Friends: COD, Project M, and N64 games
Family & The Rugrats: Mario Party and Smash (Switch),
and Pokémon Rumble (Wii) with my Pokérus-riddled nephew.

  I’d rather spend time outside, I am absolutely fascinated by the natural world,
anything from microscopic organisms to the giants of our world.

From the weather to tectonic plates, other worlds be they our seas or the vast
expanse of space…

Agree, but wouldn't say no to bottomless beer and crisp butties, filtered air
and an uncharted weekend of Kerbals and Spore.

The world I knew disappears by the decade. The Great Indoors is untouchable.

  I have several sets of batteries that are for the light up minifigures from Star

safely replace them.

Are they “made,” or rather “packed,” by LEGO?
If not, I don’t think you can sell them here.

There's a note about the same batteries for the Exo-Force light brick, but
the light up's are less fail-friendly.

Eureka!!! Those are exactly what I've been looking for. Now if only
I could afford to buy them.....

Please take this with a grain of salt, but there are office managers who would
happily give theirs away for free (or Craiglist rates), if you'll move it
out for them (or finance a one-time shredding service). For various reasons,
charts are constantly disappearing and cabinets need new homes.

I highly highly recommend the chart cabinets used in medical offices. Electronic

best at a bargain.

My husband built me one with 16 of the Akro Mills units and a lazy susan off
Amazon. Mine has smaller wheel bc it just rolls 5ft on tile but you could put
big heavy duty casters on it for carpet too.

Looks amazing!!!

Just .02 as a hobby builder – I store things *as needed* under a long row of
tables, and use the top(s) as a big desk / display area. I'm trying and failing
to work out a revolving (sushi bar) rail system similar to the one we use the
kitchen for 'dead space', to keep everything at a uniform height.
