VLOG145 - Lego Clock Crazy Prices, Picking Bricklink Orders, New Project Nears Completion

[@marhabricks4523]

Hi Keith, yes, the costs for the clock is a lot BUT... It is a pretty rare one and it is nice to support you, I am a Lego clock collector so nice one to put in the collection, it is getting quit hard to find some nice ones

Well thanks for supporting me. The clocks are really nice and I wish I could justify keeping them all. I'm glad you enjoy them, they make a great display.

great video again, still a blast to watch you ! i still have not progressed on my store, i closed it to work on inventory but then got banned, i still have brickowl for now but ive just not done anything at all, motivation isnt here at all even tho i know its simple to open a new bricklink store. hopefully you vlog will get me back in the hype again !, at least to sell the massive backlog i had accumulated to enticipate the good month of june july. If you have any tips that you use when you dont feel like doing anything and when motivation is down let me know !!!

Have you invented the anti-PABLO? I searched in vain for my order but nothing on the vlog 😀! I like how you are tech support for Mrs Brick Arena, I hope all is well on that front. I also like the comment “I’ll sort out the slopes” and then you did plates…mini figs….. So the secret project. I was hoping it was a musical project involving yourself, and Petrucci, and Hughes as the nucleus of the latest supergroup, but if it’s something for sellers will be interested in I am guessing it’s not going to be a mash up of hard rock and prog. Oh well, maybe next year. Talking of local Lego shows, the Birmingham local show is coming up in June which I will be attending, not to be confused with Brick Fest Live currently running at the NEC (which I do not recommend to anyone - already there are videos on You Tube showing it’s not very good value….and that tallies with my experience from a few years ago). Right KDDK time. Continuing with my evaluation of Avenged Sevenfold but as that can be a little intense, followed your recent playlist and dug out some AOR while the sun was shining. Purchased the new album by FM, another solid release of melodic rock and the consistency of the music from their early stuff is admirable. Then did a selection of REO Speedwagon. Now, most people will know Hi Infidelity and that saccharine song from the album Wheels are Turning (there was an album between those releases - avoid it’s rubbish and the band seem to agree…) but also played You can tune a piano…. and Nine Lives, and their second album T.W.O (which is bit hard to track down…). Anyway, looking at the six by six cd you mentioned last time, it came up in my Amazon recommendations.

OH NO! I've cocked up again. Just realised I missed a 5 minute video segment from Sunday (I started this weeks video from Mondays content) which had you order in and a few other interesting titbits on clocks etc. Thats what you get for being too absorbed in other things. Sorry!! Mrs Brick Arena is fine and getting used to her new insulin sensor. Haha, I'm always saying I'll do something and then thinking better of it and doing something completely different. I really need a continuity manager checking my work or something. Unfortunately, the project is much duller than the one you imagined. What a power trio that would have been though :) I was just on a call talking about the NEC show and sounds like they lost a shedload of money on it. Now for the mina meat and potatoes, KDDK: I have to be a little careful I'm not overlapping weeks with my playlist. This week finally saw the long anticipated release of Freak Kitchen's new album so I have been binging that. Not sure I want to give a definitive review just yet, but largely enjoyed it so far. Also going back in time I picked out some April Wine, particularly Harder Faster, which keeps surprising me on how much of a favourite it is of mine. And speaking of favourites, dug out the Tubes's What Do you want from Live album. Also a little sprinkling of country with the latest release from Lauren Watkins who has a really nice smokey voice and I binged some Larry Fleet while trying to decide if I wanted to see him (and Lauren Watkins) in London at the Scala. Don't think Country is your bag though so I'll mention the new single from Mr. Big and I've been trying again to get into the Michale Pinella (Symphony X keyboardist) solo instrumental stuff, not completely successfully.

That will have been for the day. You certainly couldn't survive on 11 per week :) 11 per day would be hard enough. Price increases are killing us all and making it harder to buy and turn profit.
