meowsmeowsmeows Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) How about that -- it is: http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-The-Lord-of-the-Rings-The-Tower-of-Orthanc-Play-Set/29315342 Great search feature for wal mart's web site. You type in "Lego Lord of the Rings" and it doesn't pull anything up except video games. Edited March 2, 2015 by meowsmeowsmeows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beartrapper Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 If you believe that its a winner, why wait for double VIP points? Is the extra $10 in points really worth the gamble? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue leader Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I have as many as I wanted, but will pick up another if it's still around during 2x points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veegs Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I don't believe it. Sarcasm? The best was getting 8% cash back in points at Walmart during Black Friday sales. You can believe it or not, doesn't really matter to me. I will take the money in my paypal account over your skepticism any day. As more investors come into the market, it is paramount for me to eke out extra % savings to stay competitive. To that end, the extra S&**** discount on double VIP is totally worth it to me. We should have a poll for how long ToO lasts once 2x VIP goes active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostDad Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Don't forget that if you buy now from LEGO Shop at Home, you get a little bionicle mask with legs for free! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 WBshop.com still has them in stock for $215. Not a great deal but once we see sold out on lego.com it gets a bit more tempting. http://www.wbshop.com/product/the+lord+of+the+rings+tower+of+orthanc+lego+set+lotrlgset05.do?ref=CAFRGL&CAWELAID=530007340000059677&gclid=CIe0m4yhisQCFQenaQodIyoAwQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowsmeowsmeows Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Has anyone seen a Tower of Orthanc box with seal codes from 2015 as of yet? I believe the last reported one was 50R4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copterman Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I paid 199.99 plus tax for my two ToO on LS@****. Was there a better way to do it? Exclusives aren't my forte yet. I've started off doing a lot of Walmart flips. I am starting to get my brain wrapped around that business model. Have yet to successfully sell a retired exclusive of course as I just started all this in December. Thanks for your feedback. This community is so helpful. It's surprising really as we are all technically each other's competitors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surprising really as we are all technically each other's competitors. Sometimes you can get a slightly better buy on exclusives (ie: double VIP point promotions, etc.) but if you're picking the right sets then there's nothing wrong with buying them at MSRP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Shipments not received at B&M's for some time (at least out West); if you are on the fence I would highly recommend striking. If you haven't seen the movies, this stunning review says more than I ever could: And finally- I have a very nice pic of this set, with Smaug on top, that I'd like to post for the forum. The problem is, I do not have a site to host the pic to for linking. If anyone can assist... please shoot me a PM with an email and I will send it along.

Cross Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks to Raichu for the direction on how to post a picture to the BrickPicker Gallery pages. This is the first set I've posted and I do it with pride: this build was an absolute blast, and the finished product a masterpiece of Lego ingenuity. We've built many in our home... and watching this set come to life was as great as Lego building gets. I highly recommend it to fellow personal-collectors... the final product is stunning, and the build interesting and fun.. Hope everyone enjoys. Edit: Either I can't figure out how to hyper-link the photo, or there's a safeguard on my computer (company firewalls, etc.) that aren't allowing me to link .The photo is uploaded to My Gallery; accessible by clicking my profile if you are interested in viewing the photo.

Locutus001 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Nicely done. Smaug really fits in. Probably you should just buy the whole set to get the figure (and then do whatever you please with the rest). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) Thank you Greg for posting it on the thread. Thanks for the feedback... glad everyone enjoyed the photo. I can't say enough for how great the set looks once built. Locutus we did just that- the rest of the pieces to The Lonely Mountain are in the kid's "general pieces" bucket. Trek... books are our other obsession! Edited March 6, 2015 by Cross 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
