    Yeah, at this point I think I'm better off just ordering off Bricklink. It might be a little more per figure, but at least I know what I'm getting.

    I use ebay for CMF, and the most premium I pay is maybe $1 more per fig. But if you preorder early usually you can get close to MSRP

    Finished the Razor Crest. It's huge. I wasn't expecting it to be so large. It also killed any desire I had for the Haslab so $350 saved there lol.

    The first half of next year is pretty boring in terms of sets, IMO. The only thing I might get would be the Ninjago Guardian Village with the snake-themed cave. On the other hand, that’s more money saved for Kingdom and Studio Series.

    Friend and I went on a bit of a Lego clearance hunt today.
    Came out with:
    3x Lego Classic 1500+ ($40)
    1x Lego City Donut Shop ($45)
    1x Ghost Train ($45)

    Well, he mostly came out with everything. I just grabbed one of the Classic sets.

    Found a Bat Cave set, but the $60 clearance price was only at one of the Walmart we went to that had 5 in stock, but none could be found there. The Walmart we found it at, can't price match so no luck there.
    The 1500+ Classic set was clearanced at $40, but Costco sells the same set minus the 4 small plates for around $50. Original Walmart retail price is $70, I think.

    Some Lego Dimensions-style MOCs:

    The DeLorean is heavily based on the official build. I always thought K.I.T.T. and the A-Team van sucked so I went my own direction (wish I could find color-matched wheels for them).

    I think it's always been one, no? It was an island in the movie, at least.

    It always was an Island. It was the opening scene of the first episode.

    I've been watching Bionicle and Hero Factory videos lately and now I cry myself to sleep because I doubt if I'll ever get to buy buildable figures and make MOCs ever again.

    Wow that sucks - literally has never happened to me in all of my CMF collecting. I'd contact customer service to see what they can do.

    Yeah, it’s like 99.9% rare for that to happen. I’ll go contact LEGO Customer Service ASAP.

    I saw the 3in1 Space Rover Explorer yesterday and almost bought it. Quite a tempting set and kinda fits in with the space theme they have.

    Decided to try out a stop motion gif with some Star Wars Minifigures.
    Here are the results: 20201013_195227.gif
