This was almost a good deal. I confirmed a meet-up time for tomorrow earlier today to buy it from him.

Just got a message that he looked it up on ebay and can’t sell it that low.

(McDonald’s Restaurant Item No: 3438)

So right now, it’s set up so new elements and new colors can just be added to the drop-down lists very easily. I added the common things to it already.

As for empty bins or scrap bins, I added *EMPTY* and *SCRAP* to the list of elements. I set it up to be pretty flexible.

The cells with drop-downs can also just be typed into like normal if…[Read more]

I set it so that anyone with the link can edit.

I condensed things a bit. i’ll toy with it a bit more when i get home.

Well, entry would either have to be done by typing out a description or using some sorta drop down selection (or a combination of both). Breaking up the element field into 2 drop downs would help with that.

Sometimes there may be an element that isn’t in the lookup table, or one that has some print to it. There probably needs to be some space to…[Read more]

*not sure why i couldn’t find this thread when i was looking, oh well*

Bit of a work in progress, but something with some simple drop-down type fields should make it pretty easy for anyone to just come and go and edit as needed. Still needs some more formatting, but it’ll get there.

Found this on the Let-Go app. Looks like it’s got everything from set 60026-1.

Not sure if I’m gonna get it, but I’ll be in Pittsburgh next week if anyone wants me to pick this up.

It might be helpful to find out how large of a scale she was thinking of.

It would be helpful to know how big she’s thinking. A 1’x 1′ model on a 32×32 plate wouldn’t be so bad…or is she thinking some huge model taking up a few feet worth of space? I suppose it depends what the purpose of the model would be.

I messaged the person that does http://www.brickbuildr.com/index.php/all-stores/ but they haven’t responded. It seems like some of the stores get updated regularly there.

The Ross Mall store is a 10×7 grid of bins (with blank spaces for the cups). I’ll probably stop by New Year’s Eve when I’m drive up to the area.

I don’t know if it’s the same type of plastic, but when I used to work with different miniatures, this seemed to work with most types of plastic models. Any store that does Warhammer 40k or similar games will probably have something similar to this for sale, may even have an open bottle you could try…[Read more]

Last time I was there, I got some 1×2 tiles, telescopes, and 1×1 modified clip tiles in sand green.

I have a rough idea of a big Ice Fortress landscape that I want to build. Still working on getting pieces, but 1000 clear 1×1 round bricks came in the mail for me to build with. This is just playing around but tubes are fun.

This is about 20 minutes away from me. I think I may offer him $40 to pick it up.

I couldn’t find this offer anywhere when trying to place an order on LEGO.com. is it still available?

I usually don’t look at blackfriday ads, thanks for the heads up. there were two left at my local walmart when i stopped by at 11 this morning.

The KMart out here in Altoona has been closing for a while now. Their LEGO toys are down to 25% so far, with several super hero/star wars/creator sets on the shelves still. I’m waiting for them to reach…[Read more]
