there's just not much for sale here in kelowna... hoping maybe a larger population base would see more stuff like this being sold?!?

Going off the Lego page, it seems like it's a retired set, so it might be tough to come by regardless of city.

Depends how "in calgary" you're talking, there's a booth in Crossroads market run by a man in his ~80s who usually has a corner stacked full of lego sets. Lots of current sets, but many 5, 6, 7 years old. Maybe 10-20% cheaper than new sticker price, and there's room to haggle. Pink/purple boxed-lego as much as 50% off sticker price. I've seen Elves there in the past

i've picked up quite a few sets over the years from him. Most recently one of the Star Wars Freemaker Adventures ships which are from 2016(?) earlier this year.

edit: all unopened

Anna Kendrick on Fallon last night talking about her LEGO obsession.

I don't have much interest in LEGO, but if they ever started doing Star Trek ships that would change real quick. I'm shocked that licensing match-up has never happened.

Megablocks had licencing for Star Trek at some point. Not sure if they still do, and haven't produced anything lately, or if it was a one-time deal for their Enterprise NC-1701 set.

I can't share the photos directly because Instagram doesn't allow you to do so, but here's our completed LEGO build of the "Central Perk" coffee shop from Friends.

I recently put together the Creator Expert Harley Davidson Fat Boy. This was my 2nd of the Expert motor bikes after assembling the BMW R1200 a few years ago.



When I first opened the box I noticed they had now updated this series to include the numbered bags and highlighted instructions and thought wow this is going to be a lot easier. The first bag was fairly straightforward but I was proven wrong when the difficulty shot up on bag two. I had to be both forceful and gentle at the same time resulting in my fingers being distorted into some interesting positions. The chain was also difficult to get installed although was worth it for this nice touch.

Once the difficult sections were complete it really came together nicely and looks amazing on display. From a distance you cannot even tell it is Lego. Compared to the BMW it is bigger, sturdier, and more spectacular to look at, while the BMW has more playability with the viewable pistons and dual suspension.

I've got the Expert Creator Diner to do next. Can't wait!

Stormtrooper helmet! This is going to be amazing! Midnight purchase for me (I'm still frustrated that I waited on the pirate island and am now stuck on backorder).

They also have Tie Fighter Pilot and Bobba Fett helmets coming!

Hey CP, I haven't posted these publicly for sale yet, thought I'd see if there was any interest on here first.

Drop me a PM if you're interested. It's all sealed and has been stored in totes and is relatively minty, except for one or two dings.

Recently downsized my home and am lacking storage space, originally bought this stuff hoping to build with my son, however he lacks the fine motor skills and patience (low functioning Autistic and has Epilepsy), so building these together is obviously out of the question.

I've also decided to sell my UCS Millenium Falcon if anyone is interested. Here is a link to the kijiji ad with pictures and details. Really hard to part with but its seriously big.

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-toys-games/c...192/1498476199

It is now SOLD.

[KTrain]

My son and I tried one of those tenegrity builds from above. It was fun. It's not as stable as some of the others I've seen so we'll have to refine it.
