Bricking News | Nov 12, 2024 | Insane Prices for Old Empty Lego Boxes and Instructions?!

[@ThePlasticStud1]

In my experience , when I am missing a brick and I have an extra brick , usually I used the wrong brick somewhere

[@mattpotter1543]

Has happened to my wife and I many times.

[@illuzion30]

@30:54: 🤣🤣 Also that coastal city is sweet! Very colorful and the large beach makes it look a lot less blocky 😊

[@jenniferlively6550]

Love the end with the veterans tribute 🇺🇸

[@tynovel]

Wow, I didn't realise that Cafe corner had 2 different boxes. Can you do a show and tell on them please Alex?

[@Hall-Bricker]

Hey Alex, I was very touched and also laughed about your best burger ever comment. You asked the camera to guess the best burger you’ve ever had, I answered to the screen- “Nation’s” before you said Giant burger in Fremont. We agree to agree. The chain is called “Nation’s” Giant Hamburger there are a few of them throughout Northern California. I grew up with them in my hometown and their burgers can’t be beat. - Agree!

[@justcoll3ct]

Thanks so much for enjoying my city. It was definitely set up for Halloween, next is Christmas, and expanding with more tables. Keep up the awesome content

[@tynovel]

I liked the look of the city. Please show us how it looks for Christmas!

[@justcoll3ct]

@tynovel thanks, i appreciate that. I will be working on it over the next couple weeks for sure. But always takes long than I think it will.

[@joe-bowling]

Fantastic city! Love that it was set up for Halloween.

[@justcoll3ct]

@joe-bowling thanks. I already jave a ton of plans for the next Halloween since I will be expanding by a few more tables.

[@MimiDonDoLEGO]

@31:52 Not guess that price. Call it the "over/under". You're also going to have to change the Thing to "Old Guy New Long sleeve shirt" Great episode as always guys!

[@bricks_in_space]

No In-and-out near me, being centrally located. I have had it one time when I was in San Diego. Was good but I cannot say it is the best. Shy's sponsor video was amazing. Love the lighting on the flag.

[@joe-bowling]

While Jason was remembering Ralph Wiggum's I choo choo choose you valentine, I was imagining Alex as "Old Man Yells at Cloud". It reminded me of the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time...

[@soniaholcombe7002]

Love the occasional In N Out meal. We have them here in Texas and the line usually wraps around the building. Nice sponsor! 😊

[@jamesrolfe1651]

I really wish we had In and Out. I only get it on West Coast travel. So jealous.

[@BrickTsar]

I unfortunately have bought multiple instructions for the $100-$200 range. At least two stickers sheets for $200. I’ve had auctions I wanted to get for the box only to have the seller say they would just throw away the box to save on shipping. Multiple times I’ve said I ONLY want the box. I’d rather they threw away the pieces

[@DazmaniaUK]

What a great and fun episode 👍 Alex should be the 'Brick of Knowledge' with the Cafe Corner box info. There would be very few people who would know about the 2 box types unless they also brought 2 and were lucky enough to get the different boxes. I love the 'Guess the Price' segment idea, especially if you have the yodelling climber too. The food segment was good too. No 'In n Out' here in the UK, which looked nice, although we would never get the shake up the straw as we have to use paper straws now and suffer from straw collapse 😂

[@tynovel]

I Lol'ed when Alex started ranting about work. I wonder if Lego customer support also works in the same way Alex does.

[@JimboBricks]

As a Veteran, I approve of this sponsor! Thanks Shy

[@JimboBricks]

I’m definitely going to enroll in Medicare with Alex the Monday after Thanksgiving

[@BrickTsar]

1:01:52 I have had someone buy from my Bricklink store to fulfill their Amazon listing then couldn’t figure out the address of their “friend” - took me two seconds to find his listing on amazon. He paid $500 and was selling it for $900. So only idiots buy from Amazon discontinued sets.

[@dl_bricks]

Jaabos's upsized headlight brick is awesome.

[@chefeddie6164]

I always call on Mondays to enroll in anything, Maybe Alex can tell us the secret code to punch in to the computerized menu so we can bypass the wait time? But my real question is, what is the best time to call the LAN line? Stay Oswaldified!

[@tynovel]

Best time to call the LAN is when it's working hours in Billund Denmark. They don't respond outside of working hours.

[@chefeddie6164]

@@tynovel I was on hold for 14 hours and all they told me was you're not a member the LAN stop calling!

[@tynovel]

@@chefeddie6164 14 hours is good. Some people have been on hold for 6 months, only to get told that their application is rejected.

[@DJ-ih8tzslegostickers]

Secret code to bypass the wait time for Medicare is 8675309. If you know what that number is, it's either time to sign up or very close to it. 😂

[@Mardigrasman23]

I was doing some packing and this video flew by. Not sure if it was because I was preoccupied with packing or because it was so good and smooth. Great job.

[@JimboBricks]

I’m going to get the Neapolitan shake on my next visit

[@tynovel]

I remember in Jaabo's parody of Bricking News he had a huge Chicken dinner for the food segment. I think we have gone full circle with the burger dinner in this episode. And Neapolitan shake sounds amazing.

[@JimboBricks]

They just opened the one in Layton. In and Out is fantastic

[@sg-brick]

Watching (the food) segment while preparing dinner: a beef stew with dark beer slow cooked for 3 hours and Belgium fries (not salted for me). Good episode, I loved it, keep on going. Grtz, SG from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@BrickTrains]

Train Pun! 😂

[@lornealdrich7105]

Generally speaking, given the cost of the BDP sets, LEGO does not pass on the savings to the customers. So they should be making the instruction books for those that do receive the sets in box.

[@kennethswan4657]

Love the paper instructions, hope Lego never gets rid of them. It's my main way to get away from the computer/technology for awhile. 😁👍

[@guleri]

I recently got The Daily Bugle building, and plan to build it without damage. I have a few Super heroes in my city and guess I will have a few more after building the Bugle. The Batman signal is placed on top of the Ghostbustrs HQ, but I plan to build a MOC police station (Police HQ) and put it there when it is done.

[@JimboBricks]

I use my iPad for the BDP instructions and it works fine

[@MayoHosko]

honestly old guy new shirt needs to be its own weekly video because this is a podcast not a video. i watch videos, i listen to podcasts

[@joe-bowling]

I've built 3 BDP sets and 2 of them had a piece missing, I'm getting more used to digital instructions with BDP and rebrickable, but I use my phone, which works OK.

[@MayoHosko]

23 is not old but I like listening to your old man problems. there's a reason why I don't like working full time at my office MONDAYS. only north american boxes have piece counts because of the fair packaging and labelling act. I'm a train fan I like the puns. I'll listen to this podcast at work every release day now

[@joe-bowling]

We don't have In-N-Out in Indiana or any other truly regional chain I can think of, but in high school.I worked at a burger place called Flakey Jake's that only had locations in Indianapolis and Louisville. My first job there was making shakes and sundaes in the sweet shop. Our "secret" menu didn't include neapolitan shakes, but we did make real cherry and vanilla Coke using the sundae toppings and shake flavors.

[@brickjams4632]

Creed is coming back they have a reunion tour!

[@alphonsesuitperson]

I could see the $500 one being a heavily damaged box, or no instructions, sealed bags, something along those lines.

[@johnvocatura]

HA!!! I love how you blew-off work to go eat a burger for breakfast. Awesome.

[@Theotherotherguy-36]

If you could each visit another Lego KZbinr’s city, who’s would it be?

[@onecleverpig]

6:55 Alex, I'm not an american citizen, I am not a retiree, and I have never called a medicare call centre (on any day of the week, for that matter), can you provide any guidance?

[@tynovel]

Nice star wars advent calendar! Is that Jason or FIverton girl's calendar?

[@TheOtherGuys2]

It is genuinely ridiculous how much Lego boxes and instructions can sell for. I'm sure I've got lots of the old instructions, and even some boxes. Maybe I should look them up and see what they sell for. Wait a sec, how are there boxes selling in 'new' condition? If the box is not used, it should still have the set in it!

[@JimboBricks]

Need animal fries to go with the animal double

Hey. I’m older than both of you.

Somehow I still feel as if this is the Earl episode with the number of times they mentioned you in it.

[@Mardigrasman23]

@@tynovelwhat can I say. I seem to grow on you. Lol

[@tynovel]

@@Mardigrasman23 well, as long as you don't whip it out from under the desk it's fine!

[@Mardigrasman23]

@ lol. Cracking me up

[@BricksOnAnIsland]

250 $ for a Lego instruction is way out of reach for me. I'd rather use the digital instruction. If I wanted a specific modular and it was 200 $ less, I guess I would buy it without the instruction. I just flatened all my boxes to save space. On the other hand, I will never throw away my paper instructions, even those for the small sets.

[@judy3973]

Watch it! I am in that demographic! Have been for a few years now!

Genuinly enjoy the show, and I know you guys were just having fun, but i think what is actually wrong with society is lack of empathy for other people's lived experiences. I am happy you have never had to come to terms with a brand marketing a product that profits from a racial stereotype that targets you, but i when i put on my empathy hat and think about it from someone else's perspective (i.e. be empathetic) i could see how they would feel that is pretty messed up.

[@TonyMontanaDS]

You guys lost me at this US medicare stuff. No idea what you were referring to but that's ok. At least I know not to call after your thanksgiving.

[@MossyRiverRock]

Gotta love the lead brained gen xers who still don’t understand why mascotizing Native Americans is a bad thing. Don’t know why I watch this show occasionally.
