Foggy is one word you really shouldn't use. Everytime I see it in one of your posts, my mind inserts an "r" and I keep reading it as "froggy". :cheese:

I thought frogs liked eating bugs? You could live off the PS4 for a month! :lol:

I do like seeing so many great sales but it is a bummer not being able to capitalize on all of them. Ah, one of these days.... As the end draws to a close, so does one's patience. I can't tell you how many times I became exasperated with just trying to finish something after working at it for so long. Hang in there, friend. You will be a better person after completing this obstacle in your life.

OK, I see I wasn't very clear. The plastic bags were the ONLY thing he used. Well, that and some tape to keep the bags together. I'm a software developer as well, so I know what you mean

Nice set!

Yes, that Batman torso is available in three other sets. Batmobile and the Two-Face Chase Batwing Battle over Gotham City Arkham Asylum Breakout

Hi, currently available at Amazon.de Lego City 7939 Cargo Train for 109 Euro Regards, Titus

Yeah, I am just way too much of a penny-pinching cheap ass SOB to ever buy something the day it comes out (especially electronics). :derisive:

Raise those prices.

When I first read this I thought it said "FROGGY" memory. I thought you were like Batman using his bat senses.

Yeah - I use set prices so I more mean I know I am making a pretty good profit and how much for each thing - just not really adding it all together yet. I don't sell something unless i am netting 10% after everything so I think it was a good weekend. Couple of those had larger markups as well.

At least you know you up $.25 so far. Sold a bunch of used sets recently, moved 2259 Ninjago Skull Motorbike ($20), 3 Exoforce sets, 8111,8113,8114($60), 3 PotC sets 4182,4183,4192($60), and a sealed Kingdoms Knight's Showdown ($20). Not big stuff, but clearing out a lot of sets that need a new home.

This sale is crazy for TRU. I guess I have to stop badmouthing them for a while. Although I may have a heart attack from all these Wendy's kids meals.

If this story really is as presented, I'm hoping there's a smart, ambitious lawyer out there paying attention to this excellent case to take all the way to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Kleargear.com is on my no-fly list of retailers and since I didn't sign their dumbarse agreement I'm thinking I'll just let EVERYONE know to stay away from them. Social media here I come.

Still haven't had a chance to inventory it. I had a backlog of used sets. I am luckily through most of them now. I also am trying to make a better inventory system. At the moment, mine is called the "lay all of my crap in the middle of the floor and struggle to find it when I need it" system. Almost at "Its a little better, but my wife may still leave me". My goal is "eh, this wont be the reason my wife leaves me at least"

Wow you stole that!

Great negotiating skills and great price.

That is a lot of sets sold for one month. I can understand what it must fell like, especially lack of space. I am running into that problem right now.

At these prices you know that TLR is the new PoP. Looking forward to deeper discounts to add to my personal collection. These sets will be dogs for years to come.

This is awesome! My wife just brought us home 3 kids meals too. I have 4 more coupons to use... The checkout lady this morning was like, "Well, since you like Wendy's, you should have these." She gave me 5 coupons for a free waffle cone Frosty. Ice cream is on me kids.

All this shopping made us hungry, so we are at Wendy's now---having a snack (and 3 more coupons) then heading back! No...I am not kidding! Wendy's yesterday AND today dad!? Are you crazy!? Yes Will----dad is a bit nuts.

I just avoid this kind of thing. Checking used sets already takes up too much of my time lol.

Went on this thread out of curiosity and wanted to put contribute some thoughts: Back then there were two sets I really wanted but never got. The launch command space shuttle from 1995 and Fort Legoredo. For the first one, it was retired long before I knew about Legos so I just got over it. For Fort Legoredo, I was at the store, wanting it, but we weren't well off (we're immigrants) so a $100 set was truly luxurious. I waited a year, saving up birthday and new years money from family to get it for myself. By then the set was gone. So you know what happened? I got over it and went on with life. Now I have a job and a sidejob from selling legos. Just from Lego selling, my net profit is over 5g. I could easily buy those sets at secondary prices and would have no problem about it. Heck, I'm actually thankful that there were some people out there who had the foresight to keep/preserve those sets for me if I ever decided to buy them. My point is, I've been "that kid" who couldn't get the set I wanted but I got over it. Either by resellers or by financial reasons, if a kid can't get a pricey Lego set, I'm sure they'll get over it. I'm pretty sure it was a good thing I didn't get it because I used that time to go outside to play instead. As a reseller, business is business. I'm on this site for one reason - to make extra cash so I can take more vacations, spend more time and $$ on family. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, so my opinion is that Lego (especially the higher priced sets) is more of a commodity like stocks than a toy because its mostly adults who are doing the buying/selling.

Another thing that bothers me is the box art this year. I don't know if it's the color scheme or Vader reaching out to get me, but I don't like it.

You were a professional dog trainer? Incredible. Everything about dogs, cats, and some other critters I know is from my own mother. She wasn't a professional like you but she probably could have been. I don't think there is a single animal she had not raised in her own youth. I had a Rottweiler and then Calico cat once somewhat similar to your Terrier. Neither of them listened well or seemed to care of what they did to whom. However the dog ended up dying at an early age due to cancer and the cat from a type of mental illness so I suppose I didn't have a long time dealing with their temperments but I wouldn't wish either case on anyone. And whiners are annoying. Give me the 'dopey dog face on your lap' anyday. Or better yet one of these. I love weimaraners. :giveheart:

Finally a new one. I was getting sick of the same freakin chewbacca

What is the chance TLG creates ExoSuit as grey variant of Lex's Power Armor without the gun ?

I'm not going to lie, I've gone through a TON of CUUSOO projects, and short of the AT-AT, almost nothing IMO seems worthwhile. I've seen the invisible hand and that actually looks pretty decent. I think my problem is that I just don't like small sets. I like big sets. Only problem is, the chances of seeing a really badass 6000+ piece set are slim. =/.
