RE: Brick by Brick, LEGO Exhibit - Museum of Science and Industry
And that is why I absolutely love legos!! The sets are such a rip-off, I'm with you about buying used bulk instead. The kids and I used to wander garage sales in our neighbourhood looking for them ;)
Such a cool exhibit! Thanks for sharing.
and btw, @abh12345 has his league results out; I see you moving on up my friend ;)
Garage sales around here are picked over very quickly as legos are big business for resellers. Very hard to come by them unless you make sure to be there before the doors open while the people are setting up. Kind of crazy.
My kids really like the minifigures more then anything. They can play with the little people for hours and then build simple structures that fit into the story line they are creating. They do this more then using the actual sets. So I now buy them the knock off mini figs so we don't have to buy all the sets. Huge money saver and unlike some snobby kids mine could care less if it's "real lego", they just want the characters and this is the only way they get as many as they have.
Yes, you don't want to be that guy hanging around out front of people's garages at 8 in the morning haha
That sounds like some good parenting to me...I think I would really like your kids ;)
Oh I have been that guy more then a few times. We picked up my oldest Daughter her bike at a garage sale last year, it looked brand new. My Wife wan't to be first and make sure we got this bike if it was priced good...and it was. $20 for a $300 bike.
Nice!! So really it's your wife who's that guy haha
oh and I gave up on the curating for maximum profits league. Was wasting votes on content I didn't really like that much just to make sure to rise up that list. The other list just comes natural to me, engaging with others is why I'm here. So not changing anything and the league just lets me see how I'm stacking up. Like that my numbers are improving.
That's interesting because some nights, if I'm all done commenting on people I know, I start to wander with League 1 in my mind, but simply find that the content isn't there for me. What's on 'trending' is often nonsense, and in the end, it's just not the way I roll ;)
If it's hit trending you can't make any money on the post. You need to find the people that always hit trending and upvote them before their paid votes land. Reality is trending pages are filled with paid votes and voting rings, not actually much real quality content there.
Last couple weeks if I have a little extra voting power I have been self voting a couple comments instead of worrying about the delegation rewards. Need to pay for the leased delegation somehow and can't just give all the benefits away. I made a long term commitment for 1000 SP at a set rate each month that is better then leasing from minnow booster or blocktrades, but it's still a good chunk of change each month. Sure some people would look down on that, but until some posts get better rewards I'm not sure how else to go about it.
nope I know a lot of people who are leasing for different reasons and you know what? If it works for you, then what does it really matter. And also people who are upvoting comments and posts because right now it's not worth using the internal market to anything with. You might as well put your sp to work until things pick up.
