Cool find!
Hi, welcome to BrickLink!
You can trade with the sellers on BrickLink, but the forum barely gets a trickle
of the total daily traffic. All the big dogs and truffle hunters browse the catalog
and/or use Wanted Lists to find stores. Opening a store lets you notify all the
collectors looking for that minifig.
(sw0472 is currently on 4937 Wanted Lists)
If you have other stuff available, you could list everything below average prices
(less value = reduce less). Then break into a smile, laugh evilly, and raise
your minimum buy to whatever you were hoping to get from the big ticket item.

True. Faithful adaptions (if not word-for-frame, in spirit) are few and far between.
I always hope the showrunners have an Oprah moment while endowing side characters
with speaking roles.

For his part in helping stave-off the evil/darkness that grew in Middle Earth?
And for perhaps after being asked to voluntarily give up the corrupting ring
of power which he possessed for decades, he did?
Elrond and Gandalf would both have known somewhat of that cost for Bilbo. That
although he’d find peace of mind, his body would suffer the effects accelerated
aging. Rivendell with Elrond’s unparalleled Elvish gift of healing, was probably
the one place he could find some amount of bodily comfort before joining the
Elves on their passage. That was the real gift for both Bilbo and Frodo, passage
into the undying lands.
For those that enjoy the works and worlds of Tolkien, read The Silmarillion.
Little more difficult a read, but a beautifully rich story! It was published
posthumously by his son much later than The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings books.
I read it twice just after it was made available in book stores, in Stockholm
at the time.

And re-read the Lord of the Rings! 50 year-old Frodo is the best hobbit and there's
entire chapters the films had to leave out, and The Return of the King has Saruman's
alternate ending (and half-filled with side stories).

I think a certain kinship existed between all Ring-bearers. Even when friendship
and hospitality were not especially earned; Galadriel to Frodo; Frodo to Smeagol.
Elrond allowed the One Ring to be claimed by Men, and may have felt responsible
for how things turned out. And Bilbo, for his part, gave all of Middle-Earth
a second chance.

If you speak in Orcish, he replaces the continental breakfast with a crumb of

| | I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to build a Lego set.
After I finished it and ran it around for about 2 minutes checking to make sure
it worked on all 3 channels; I started thinking about how much fun I had building
it. This led me to think about my favorite theme which led me to think about
my top 3 and top 5 themes.
1) Harry Potter-I am super passionate about this theme!
|
Me too! And doubly exciting, HP was one of the first themes to introduce Light
Nougat skin tones. Can't explain why, but it immediately inspired me to customize
(mostly Castle) minifigs into Roman legionnaires and gladiators.
Loved this theme, twice over. Gave away ALL the horses during a Dark Age. Ow.
| | 3) Castle & Ninjago are pretty much tied
4) Town / City
What is / are your favorite theme(s)?

I have soft spots for everything you mentioned, and others like Aquazone, Exo-Force
and Classic Space. But my ride-or-die's have to be Star Wars and Bionicle.
*I'm a nut for the Star Wars' Expanded Universe! Karen Traviss' Republic
Commando series and Timothy Zahn's Thrawn, BioWare RPGs and cinematic trailers,
and Genndy Tartakovsky's animation style. Bionicle is simply my favorite
Lego IP. Especially the comics and story serials/podcasts.
(Test parts and Grangemouth bricks are my unofficial favorites.)

1) Use the Color Guide!
2) Use main keywords:
Always use these first:
hollow stud / blocked stud
dual sided / -dual sided
female / -female
Your results get whittled down fast.
3) Use other keywords:
Then, add in other features:
glasses, mask, beard, etc
Don't forget to exclude these features as well with the - sign.
4) Sort the result by Date. If your items came from one lot, they are likely
to be all near the same age.
Good luck,
Jen
