That crown looks like it is Chrome gold, not metallic gold…

[@franj001]

Agreed. That crown he had is chrome gold, not metallic.

[@BrickArena]

Yes, schoolboy error which has been corrected now :)

[@leeatkin9583]

Shout out to the dude who sent in the free stuff.....👌 Now just pass my address onto him please 🤣🤣

[@BrickArena]

Haha you wish

[@martazedbricks]

Classic sets are not the best but worth attention. Not a great colours but still, ppl will buy 😊 qq; when someone do pick up, how you deal with shipping cost? Refund after or different solutions? Thank you

[@BrickArena]

Classic sets can be worth it to expand lots. (I do have another reason also ;) ) for collections I have them request an invoice which I set shipping at £0 but include a handling charge. If they happen to pay automatic I just refund, though I’d lose some of the PayPal fees doing this.

@@BrickArena thanks for explanation 😊

[@steo-red408]

hi Keith, just watched your latest video, thanks for the shout out, hope you can make good use of all the bits and bobs i sent, 👍

[@BrickArena]

I certainly can. Thanks again so much for sending it over.

Bit behind tonight (in laws visiting, just got back). Storage? Don’t talk to me about storage 😀, I feel your pain. And speaking of pain, I hope your knee is sorted soon, that can’t be fun. Good to see the Brickstore selling / buying site already doing so well. Not going on it though, way too tempting (and see previous comment about storage….). Well as you gave me such a nice acknowledgment at the beginning of the Vlog, better move on to the KDDK Music channel! Bit of a strange week this week, what with certain (low key) celebrations and building storage solutions (though not for me and not for Lego) and waiting on some cd deliveries (more on that in a moment and more in depth next week) so music listening been a bit limited. However, did manage to continue to listen to Avenged Sevenfold and am impressed with the musicianship and songs on the three albums I currently own. For a slight contrast (and ahead of their new album being released) also listened to Visions of Atlantis’ back catalogue - the pirate theme might put some off, but excellent vocals (especially they’re now using the same male vocalist) and good catchy songs makes it a good listen. Right, as alluded to, another new band to me, I have the latest Big Big Train album ready to go so all going well should be reporting my thoughts on that next week.

Hope you had a great time celebrating last week (no matter how low-key it was). Had to be sure to get your order in this week having missed the last one. TBH I'm not sure the knees will ever get a lot better, they're pretty much shot. However, I do hope to reduce the pain and increase the mobility that I currently have. KDDK: Time is a funny thing. No matter how much I have I never get to listen to as much music as I think I will (possibly because of my addiction to KZbin). But for me, it's been the usual eclectic mix. Been listening to the two Ark albums with Jorn Land (the second one being one of my favourite prog/metal albums of all time). Also the Dracula-themed "Swing of Death" which is also very good. There's some amazing talent that comes out of the Scandinavian countries. Also played some Pink Cream 69 (David Readman has a really good voice I always think) and some early Y&T. Any new stuff has largely been in the vein of country stuff which is pretty easy background listening.
