Hey there, My question especially for those who've moved to another country for good (EU zone, UK to be exact); Will be moving to UK if everything goes according to plan, want to move my collection as i invested a lot both in money and in effort. Anyone did something like this? Any of your comments, opinions, suggestions are welcome. Do i need to pay any import taxes for private goods? Will be shipping to myself. What method should be used? Which company could be used? Any known international movers? Any occurred problems/solutions? Thank you.

First off, thanks for checking out my build! This MOC originally involved a few mini-scale resistance X-Wings on display, but then I encountered Jason Allemann's (JK Brickworks)'s video on his kinetic sculpture of Sisyphus endlessly pushing the boulder up the mountain. This is where my inspiration to make a moving vignette came from. The terrain on the top of the gear box is supposed to represent any number of desert planets you want it to be, most likely Jakku though. ;) Anyways, three's a link to a video of the thing in action right below the first picture, the font is huge you can't miss it. Once again, thanks for checking this out! If you have any constructive criticism don't hesitate to comment, hope you like it! :) -Alec DSC_0460 by AlecTheAverage, on Flickr CLICK THE LINK TO SEE IT IN ACTION! https://drive.google...MzY4YkZJOEY1dlU DSC_0457 by AlecTheAverage, on Flickr DSC_0451 by AlecTheAverage, on Flickr DSC_0449 by AlecTheAverage, on Flickr DSC_0456 by AlecTheAverage, on Flickr DSC_0459 by AlecTheAverage, on Flickr

Since I started collecting again 3 years ago, space has gotten tight, really tight. I had been keeping everything LEGO at my parents house. Then on January 18/19 I decided to rent a van and move it downtown to my building, closer too my apartment, where I can store it in a more comfortable, spacious, location. Now their weight is better distributed. Used sets are now 4-5, instead of 6-8, similar goes for the newer sets. Unfortunately this will only be a temporary, as this ex-communications room they are in will most likely be renovated and rented later this year. When this happens, I will move it into another location in my building. It took a few friends and I around four hours and two trips in a 10' UHaul. The hardest part was getting everything out of the room, downstairs, and into the truck. Couple that with a four inch snowfall, covered windy roads, and potholes, and you had our saturday evening. We only used two ratchet-straps and some care placement to secure the opened set bins on the first trip. A tarp and blankets and short stacks to transport the new sets. After a 15 minute, 4 mile drive, everything arrived safe, with only a single lever/antenna falling off an old fireboat. Unloading was very fast thanks to a loading bay, some carts, and freight elevator. A straight shot to 2nd floor and an hour of stacking boxes and it was done. I figured I shoot the move, but wish I would have had pics of the weather that night. Serving double as a record if anything bad happened to these, as we all know how valuable some of these are. Next I will be photographing the contents of the storage bins, as much has changed since 2011. Plus, I've always liked those 'I Spy' books, and looking at a photo shooting down into those bins is very reminiscent IMO. So here is a move of an AFOL with a serious problem
