Re: Buying a case of minigs?

When you do this, do you generally open each of the packages, or do you try to do the "feel and identify" the package? Does it affect the resale value by opening each minifig package to identify the contents for certain? Curious for my own use, when I try this in the fall...

Re: Buying a case of minigs?

Been looking at some of the current case prices on ebay. Some are just gougers, but a few of the others seem to have their prices in line. Might be my best option since I do not live close to a Target or Walmart unfortunately...

Buying a case of minigs?

I am very excited about the monster themed minifgs coming out in October 2015! I have been considering buying a case of these when they come out, rather than just trying to piece out each fig or picking up an overpriced completed set on ebay. Anyone ever do this before and did you have any luck gett...

Re: Cleaning sets

I've been using a very fine mesh bag in the clothes washing machine with some good old fashioned bleach. Seems to work pretty well for even the most stubbornly dirty lego brick. Beware of anything stickered being washed... stickers will peal off very quickly in washing machine. So far so good with t...

Lego Winter Series

Hello! Any one have any word on if Lego will be adding any new Lego Winter Village scenes or sets? My family and I love our winter village set up with the Cottage, Toy Shop, and etc. We were just curious if Lego had any plans to expand the line if anyone had heard? Thanks!

I am currently making a Lego table for my kids and will be gluing down some Lego base plates onto the surface of said table. I've looked at plans on a couple of different websites, and was wanting to know which kind of glue would be best to attach the best plates. A few sites recommend Elmer's glue ...
