Hello Everybody, I just found that: pricecharting.com now can track LEGO prices and log your collection. I use this sit for tracking of my video game collection. It is a great site. It logs ebay sales to get next to perfect prices that are always fluctuating. Here is the blog: https://blog.pricecharting.com/2023/11/lego-sets-on-pricecharting.html I just started adding my sets. It is new so the data/prices will probably start flowing. There are already lots of prices. And there are probably a lot of sets not there yet, but as a LEGO community we can all add to make the LEGO portion better. I think it is a great idea, and excited to track there value of my LEGO sets, loose, loose with manual and new!! I hope others can use it and enjoy and help add sets/data!!! Just thought I would share. I think its cool! :)

Anybody else with this issue? Or any ideas? 2 of us have this issue. My thought was because of the weight, the tire slides on the tile and dose not grip. Not sure if its from sag from the outside.. I might try a skinny tire, but not sure what wheels tires are the same diameter.

Hello All, my set 10257 has been in storage for awhile, not much use on it. When setting it back up. The elephant will not go up and down. It looks like the tire/wheel just slides on the tiles instead of rotating. It will stay in the down position. (At times it goes up and down, it is not stuck). Any thoughts?

Awesome. Thank you. After building this, I sold my 2 official sets. It is a truly great set.

Hello All, I built this ATAT a few years ago. I have since lost the PDF instructions. Does anybody remember who built this? Or where I can find the PDF instructions? I love this ATAT. I sold all my others... nothing compares. :) Untitled by Broomhandle Zero, on Flickr

I like them. and yes the windscreen is here: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=62360&name=Windscreen 3 x 6 x 1 Curved&category=[Windscreen]#T=S&C=12&O={"color":"12","iconly":0}

I have just done these 2. I got the CC in 2007, recession hit and LEGO was the last thing I could buy... haha I think the CC is doable. What I did with the GG is, I downloaded the LXF file, and messed with colors for the side. You might want to do that if you decide to change the color. :)

looks good! my 2 cents, I feel the 1x2 and 1x4 tile under the windows should be a different color. maybe light grey, or tan.

Might be cool to build them in different colors. Like the painted Ladies in SF.

I did the GG last year. Bricklinked GG by Broomhandle Zero, on Flickr I used Sand green mortar up front, and dark tan on the sides and back. I think it turned out great. for the canopy I used medium blue instead of blue, and purple for the drapes instead of dark red. This cost me around 75.00 to BL. I also did the FB.. This is 100% piece for piece Untitled by Broomhandle Zero, on Flickr

awesome!

The Gas station needs to go, maybe add plants there... I think even with this mod, it will still look odd. I agree, the Diner did not fit with the others, and this is just more extreme... is anybody working on a LDD to see what can be modded?

I agree. With the brickset photos, I thought... humm... the Brickvault video I thought... horrible dark orange... funny, I love the city hall...

I agree. Can this model be built via bricklink? if so, how much is it... I built a BL GG because I missed out on that one. it is not 100% correct because of the green 1x2's... but I like it and I have the GG... sorta. I feel this is the same. Collectible minifigures again... out of ideas. also, I am not bashing on the design. If the designer were to read all this.... it sounds petty, it is just a LEGO. I am just stating its not one of my favorites..

I agree, also the city hall is dark orange... too much dark orange.
