Might regret it later but eh what are you going to do I’m about to do the same. Which sets did you order? Do you mind if I asked how much you paid? Right now it looks like the Astronomy Tower is going for at least $180.

Those were my two most anticipated sets so I held off on buying the rest till August.

There’s a German bricklink store selling them for much cheaper than retail called Steinchenwelt; I have ordered from them quite a few times in the past (in the US) and even plus shipping, it is way cheaper than retail - for example, I paid 70 euros for the Astronomy Tower and 48 for Privet Drive.

I actually order the sets from them yesterday. How long do orders from them typically take to arrive?

I will wait till I get the RoR set today. To check if I don’t have two Harry torsos. I just want to know if it’s a common mistake, having a missing tile in the Burrow set.
Legoniche Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Wait so why did lord Voldemort get banned? Obviously I know what he’s like and it’s well deserved, but I imagine he did something recently in the past few days to cause it to finally happen?

Huh, so you really paid $165 more just to get two sets a month or two earlier. Lego fans will never stop to amaze me

Spreading of fake info, forging of Instagram DM's and many members here reporting him and asking for a ban

People just didn't like him from what i've read- there's no way to prove the D2C isn't micro scale, or that the dm was fake i guess because the insta user kingnono was proven to be a fraud? I can't keep up i'm new lol

He was nothing but a troll, but I have to say, him creating a second account with the subtle user name ‚TomRiddle‘ did get a chuckle out of me.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was still on the forums somehow under a different name
Legoniche Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Thanks guys! I knew about some of that stuff but I thought perhaps there was a cherry on top kind of thing- but definitely well deserved!
Clone OPatra Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Let me clarify a few things: 1. We don't ban people because members report and ask for it. Reporting is useful because we staff are only volunteers and only have so much Eurobricks-time on our hands, so it draws something straight to our attention. However from there it's our call to look into it and take the action we deem appropriate from as objective a point of view as possible on a subjective platform. Sometimes that's a private chat, sometimes it's a ban, sometimes it's nothing at all. 2. "People not liking someone" is certainly not a reason that that person would be banned. There have been through the years and still are plenty of big personalities on Eurobricks, plenty of people who some other people might not like. 3. Creating multiple accounts is against our rules and anyone who does so will generally be banned unless it's an honest mistake. 4. Anybody who wants to stick around here to genuinely discuss the hobby - LEGO - will generally last, and anybody who instead is more interested in drawing attention to themselves, fighting, derailing topics and talking about other people rather than talking about LEGO might not. 5. I already said not to derail this topic with talk about other people and trolls any more, so I'm locking it for now. It was going so well for a brief while.

BacktoBricks Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 So I built the Astronomy Tower this afternoon and you get four mandrakes all with the same print. But at first I thought there were two different prints because to me if you turn the print upside down it looks like the Mandrake is laughing - it's a trick of the eye but very cute. ?

sammy_zammy Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 Wahey! We're back. Well I thought I'd have a go at some transcribing to get some extra cash so that I can justify buying some Lego Harry Potter... got about $22 from 5ish hours' work today... not too bad considering it's freelancing, but not sure any amount of Lego is worth so much boredom lol.
