Off topic but for anyone that might have some of it, is the Minecraft lego worth what appears to be an exhorbitant price, even compared to the other themed sets? Youngest daughter is desperate for some but when Lego is about a close a real-world representation of Minecraft as possible, I don't want to shell out just to get the theme...
The set I've been pining for is the Motorized Bulldozer[1]. My hope is that Lego will reissue it one day. That said, as a Lego fan, I've started getting pretty annoyed at the company for their "special parts" and limited edition print runs. Talk about creating artificial scarcity! I look forward to the day we can get a quality 3D printed construction system - with opensourced designs of course!<p>[1] <a href="http://www.toysperiod.com/lego-set-reference/technic/model/construction/lego-8275-motorized-bulldozer/" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysperiod.com/lego-set-reference/technic/model/c...</a>
I love this site as simply an index of interesting Lego sets. But on a few of the items I spot-checked marked OOS, they are in-stock at Amazon. Impressive amount of work for a nice parent-friendly niche problem though.
Good site, but now I'm annoyed at how much more Lego costs in the UK than the US. The Back to the Future Delorean - actually not on this list but I found it clicking around Amazon recommended links from something else - has a list price of $34.95 in the US or £53.95 (that's $85!) in the UK.<p>The Lego set I'd most like to buy if it hadn't been ridiculously limited edition is the Mars Rover set, 21104.
An acquaintance of mine once made a living by selling legos online by the piece. He'd buy sets and tear them down, sort them, etc. Apparently this can be profitable especially if you can get a lot of hard to find pieces.<p>This was back in like 2008, so I have no idea if the site exists or if he's still doing it.
I feel like you should invert the color scheme. If something is out of stock I don't really need to be drawn to that. If something is in stock, though, I can buy it.<p>This site reminded me again of how expensive Legos are though... really makes me feel like a spoiled rich kid for having had so many way back.
Nice site. One advice is to remove the lego keyword from your domain ASAP. It's a trademark and they really enforce in a bad way. Change it to "bricks" as almost everybody know bricks refers to lego.
