I know. Been here 15 years and I am sad to have to move.
Also wtf at the price of housing right now.
I knew you people would understand

15 years, done well. I just made move 11 in the last 9 years, it’s very expensive and very hard to find good places.

I have been lucky. Only 2 places since 1998

Means though that the current rates were a bit of a shock to me.

Moved constantly as a kid. Hated it. Built current place 11 years ago I think and I'm never moving again.

Capital Power the vending machine is a great, great build.

Wish we had more of it, I didn't document it this time because I figure many in this thread have it already, but the mechanism is terrific and I look forward to using the capsule balls for other purposes (eg deciding where to go on date night).

A rare recent Lego win, the future might be in the mid-range sets if you're an adult collector instead of paying $700 for a half-baked aquarium or $1500 for a slice.

Saw that the gingerbread AT-AT is on 80 day back order. Sure that happens with popular sets but for something Christmas themed that did make me LOL.

Yeah unfortunately this is common for Christmas-themed sets. I've learned to get these as soon as they are released because they do go OOS quickly. At least it is more common now for these sets to make a reappearance in future years, so hopefully it'll be the same with the AT-AT. It's a little gem, if overpriced.

I couldn't even get the little Christmas ornaments set at the local Store a few weeks after release. I must say though that at least it's better than my local Post Office, which sells any amount of tat and allows you to do banking and pay bills but didn't, when I visited, have any Christmas stamps to sell me .

Yeah, build it, stick it in your Christmas display and get a little spark of joy everytime you see it. That's easily worth the extra $100 you'd make
