I figured you would.
Im just making the move over to PF because of how uniform it will look with ballast. Plus my plan is to only use it in roads when I manage to LUGBULK parts for MILS roads.
So if you need 9V, I have around 50 straights to trade.
curve would be 1:1 trade.
Haha I knew I should have clarified. 1 9V track for 3 PF.
Wont be able to, too much wedding stuff going on.
Hey tim,
I told you they would not let me buy them! and i can now effectively fit 169 2×4 bricks in the cup without breaking it or getting told i cant do that. So the math works out to about $65 per case of the 2×4 bricks if you use the method i went by.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fED5J10hT10 you will notice the two end “circles” need to be switched around to fit properly.
Im going to this and have to send money, as to what im brining, i have no clue, hopefully, LUGBULK has come in and ill be able to make my airport. if not, im looking at my brick built monorail and a better looking train station… And maybe a few modulars i MOC’d
For a first time, it was great! I think everything went real well! Im already registered for Brick Fair VA, just haven’t bought tickets yet, and ill be displaying something, hoping LUGBULK will be in by then and ill have a huge MOC done…
Only one complain for me would be the fact that the vendors who sell sets at very high prices and dont like to actually collect and build, won very large expensive sets (they prob are going to just sell them, i asked a lady if i could buy her town hall, she already sold it for $400)
It would depend on the time we go and how interesting it really sounds. When are we hitting the lego store?
Matt remind me to hurt you when i see you, TIME CRUISERS IS LIKE THE BEST GAME FROM LEGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (unless it was sarcasm u meant, sarcasta text is not out yet)
His name is Frank… i dont know the store name. And hes at each one in monroville, he has limited items, because like i said, the inventory list that LEGO gives him is not easy to obtain sets and things of the larger sorts… For instance, once sets are released, the dealers get a online website they can choose sets and “x” from. The sets are marked with a stop light at the cart area botton, green for you will get those sets, yellow for you might, and red for its not happening for a long time… He said that even if its green, you can wait up to three months for the sets…
Have you been to the Greenberg train show? There is a guy there who im good friends with, hes a lego dealer and travels from show to show and state to state setting up at train shows selling lego products…
When you have a small list of what is available to a dealer, yes its a lot, because if you have a bunch of sets that dont move at all, spending 10k is a lot… and its not a physical store with brick and mortar, it would be a “mobile” store that moves around just like the greenberg shows…
It would be a mobile store, and it would not be online because the market is too saturated with people who buy low and sell low and make profitability too low to even consider online… I know there are lots of requirements, the biggest one is, the $10,000 min per year purchase, also the fact that lots of the sets and things are not easily obtained…
How much are tickets for the public? my father is interested in coming.. if its just cheaper to join the LUG ill have him do it that way… he would be a valuble asset to the LUG because he is in the workings to become a LEGO dealer, also he is a main source for the best LED’s out there for MOC’s
Can we post out phone numbers please? Mine is 814-254-5302… this is so the people who are not there from minute one to close have a contact with people about anything going on that may be cool for others to know… ALSO if one of the vendors has a Maersk Cargo train/ Emrald night for sale, could get a hold of me and i can wheel and deal with them on the set…
plus it would be nice to be able to call someone if they get lost or lose the group at KOP/philly
Still to this day i have a place to stay at a college friends house, if it falls through i can easy sleep on a floor… Also ill be driving myself to and from the show and only have a two seater truck, so dont ask for rides please… im beyond excited about the show and cannot wait to spend all the money…
Well depending on how much i spend at PBF im not sure if i can truly commit to the LVRR show, i really wanna go so i can be involved and rack up more PAB cups for the unique parts the LUG has… I would not be able to set up until early Saturday morning due to the time traveled to johnstown then to ligoneer would be too much and i would arrive late.
