Lego C-130 for $3800 dollars - bored sunday

[popnfresh]

Lego will not make any realistic military sets so these guys make their own out of official pieces and can't keep up with demand

they released 2 runs of 25 each for 3800 and they both sold out within a day

if you watch the video they use real lego pieces and lego will not sell to them directly, so they have to buy 100s of sets to get enough pieces to make it

Wonder if there is money in buying used/clearance/sale lego sets and busting them down to individual pieces to resell.

My brother turns a nice little side profit by doing that with R/C cars kits.

A lot of guys will either sell their plans/instructions or just give them away. You can buy bricks off brick link. Some of the shit these guys do is insane.

Not really. It's like buying one of each vehicle a manufacturer makes and taking the best part out of each to make one awesome vehicle.

 

[whatever]

hard pass
