Hey guys,
I talked with David, and he has given me permission to host [the next online parts draft] this fall/winter.
If you do not know what a parts draft is, you can read about what it is, and how it works here: Parts Draft Explanation and Rules - TheBrick Blogger
Basically we will follow these (same) rules, except that picks will be done via a photo in my FLICKR stream.
This is the first draft that I've hosted, but I have very good positive feedback both on classic-castle.com, as well as BrickLink.
The pick order will be chosen using random.org.
After the pick order is selected, the draft will be snake draft style, such as: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, etc.
Participants will ship the LEGO set to me and I will then divide the sets. All drafters are required to pay to have their parts shipped back! This draft unfortunately will be limited to ONLY 8 participants.
Also, while not required, it is generally a kind gesture to "tip" the draft host. Organizing, sorting, and getting all of this together by yourself is incredibly time consuming. The tip is up to you though.
This draft will be a MEGA DRAFT, which means that we will be drafting the following 2 sets:
79011 Dol Guldur Ambush
Pros:
-3 minifigures
-Dark bley masonry bricks
-Dark bley slopes
-Some (small) dark red leaves
-Some dark brown pieces
-Can easily be found for under MSRP. Both TRU and Walmart have it for only $20.00 right now!
-Draft would be quicker
AND...
79001 Escape from the Mirkwood Spiders
Pros:
-4 minifigures
-Glow-in the dark 1x1 round plates
-Black slopes
-Dark red leaves
-Dark brown arches
- Variety of minifigure weapons
- Spider web (nets) - exclusive to this set
-Can easily be found for under MSRP. TRU has it for only $$28.00, and Walmart has it for only $24.00
Sign up list:
1.) RBCustoms (host)
2.) Lilcurt
3.) Ludzik
4.) Excalibur
5.) Schmidt
6.) Gideon
7.) Yorick
8.) Mattiusxavier
