So should have you covered ? They look like Ribba box frames to me from IKEA. Good price and wide range of sizes. I don't think that it's available here in Philippines tho, but it's a really cool and clean looking frames. Quote

I have all the TLBM stuff in a box but I generally sold everything else as I went along. I don't collect the mini-dolls (I can't stand them haha thank god though, it would cost me even more money) but I do collect the Mighty Micros stuff. I've got a few Star Wars figs but I've been thinking of letting those go. Other than that I've only got the Disney CMF series, the German Football team series, some star wars figs, and the Ghostbusters and BTTF sets from the Ideas sets. Wow, you are like a LEGO soulmate...

I'm tempted to sell the rest of the Lego Batman Movie sets to be fair as I have nowhere to put them and without figs they are a bit pointless! Although I might keep the Batmobile and Jokers Lowrider I've got a spare Batman & Robin for those. Quote

The minifigures are so amazing, but some of the sets are just... well poor. For example the Adam West Batcave. The figures are great, and I really love the Joker with his overpainted mustache for example. But the set is just not camera friendly... since Wayne Manor is the backside you don't see, but instead you see some big studded plates... Not cool for a set that expensive. Or the new Hulk vs Red-Hulk set. The minifigs and bigfigs are great. But the two vehicles are just so disappointing. Quote

It's one of the one sets i haven't sold haha, but I do agree, it's not very nice looking. The vehicles are great, as are the minifigs. Hulk vs Red Hulk is waaaay overpriced. I'm waiting for Argos to do a 3 for 2 deal so I can pick up some of the more expensive sets and feel like it's a little worthwhile. I guess it's the 2 bigfigs that drove the price up? The original Milano was nice, but my cat knocked it off my display so I just threw it all in with a bigger lot I was selling, along with the original Quinjet which was also cool. If only I'd have kept those 2! Ah well.. I've got my Batmobiles! Quote
Mat099 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 A little update, with all the new stuff from 2017 i got until now! Quote
fordtruckin Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 @Mat099 very impressive collection! I am just a little bit jealous though. Beautiful display. Thanks for sharing! Quote
deemen Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Vintage Spiderman (Released 2002-2004) - You can clearly see the transition of Yellow to Flesh colored skin for some of the minifigs - What was Lego thinking when they released 3 Doc Ock minifigs with same exact torso and legs and just different face prints?! - Love the variety in civilian figs, something we don't get much now from the new Superheroes sets - My top 3: 3. Peter Parker (flesh-skinned) 2. Green Goblin (decorated headgear) 1. Balaclava Spiderman (that torso is awesome!) Quote

They wanted to give you a little bit of variation rather than just the same old fig in every set, just like they did with Spongebob and other characters. Also, this was back when Lego Studios was a big deal, so they wanted to encourage kids to make brickfilms with these figs by supplying different facial expressions. They even released officially commissioned brickfilms to promote this idea, like The Peril of Doc Ock. Nice collection by the way! Quote

Haha, I'm not sure how most guys do it to be fair - I think it was just a lucky moment that I had some customs I was trying to get rid of, someone wanted them, and this was all he had that I was interested in! I'd love to get one of those finds where people get a box of Lego for like $300 and there's a 10179 Millennium Falcon in there or something lol. 8 hours ago, VaderFan2187 said: @Captain Britain may or may not have gotten it there, but there is a Buy, Sell, and Trade forum here that is accessible to Citizens and up. It wasn't there I'm afraid. I've actually had no luck there at all! I've done all my sales on Flickr. Quote
