Not at all, I wish I'd missed the damn things! Don't bother buying them as I bought a 10 for

Coffee...I wouldn't be able to make it through the day without it

OK, I never had this as a kid, but it would never be a hit today, as there is no mini figure exclusives for flipping. http://youtu.be/3UXrSg0USOM

unikitty versus hello kitty...I would watch that fight

Can't say for sure that LEGO's are the tool of Satan ... but they are definitely the "enemy" of my bank account!!

I use one to separate plates so they don't have fingernail marks, but that's about it.

Is Fugazi a country in the middle east? Do we have troops there?

Very good thoughts, appreciate the wisdom from an experienced person. :-)

It's really irritating on EBay too. I get frustrated when I'm quick flipping a polybag or something and somebody doesn't pay. The window for flipping those is usually only a couple weeks and if you have a non-payer, it's usually too late by the time you settle the EBay claim.

If it's a request through eBay messages, in theory you are protected by eBay (per eBay). I've never had to test that one. In practice, I take these requests for low-price, low-fraud items but would draw the line at a large expensive LEGO set. In that case, I'd refund their PP payment and send them an eBay invoice specifying that they add the desired address to PayPal and show that as the shipping address (it's easy for a buyer to do, unless this is their first week on the intrawebz). It doesn't have to be a "confirmed" PayPal address, so long as eBay and PayPal say you're covered (which they will when PayPal sends you the payment), you're fine.

weather but mainly getting worn / scraped / thrown around during transit. i can't tell you how many times packages arrived at my house with sticky labels w/ ink smears or slight tears. all it takes is one key portion of the address label (e.g. zip code) to get messed up and poof, delivery times are delayed. then buyers blame you. when using pouches, i just make sure it's placed firm and flat on the box (no air inside). another plus is the shipping pouch adds another layer of protection for keeping the box sealed.

about 1-2 oz each

I love it when a store near me starts carrying minifigures from series that were available over a year ago. I also love jellybeans and beef jerky.

I tried to download my digital copy for Lion King, Toy Story...or something like that onto my tablet and it was a chore! Travelling with my family soon. I'm not a tech geek but thought I was tech saavy enough (wrong!)...after awhile and errors I just gave up. They should make the process easier. Ended up going to Google Playstore and paying for movies, seems expensive still even at 50% off. Old classics like Nemo etc are still expensive. HD quality of Cloudy with Chance of Meat Balls, How to Trade your Dragon and Ice Age cost me $30. Nice to be able to do cloud storage (watch it on any device using your id or download it to your device and not worry about wifi). My brother inlaw will download some free content for me lol. Scooby Doo is coming back...my 4yr old loves it

Frozen was $18.87 at TRU of all places last week. I price matched at Target so I could use my redcard. But Disney movies are definitely cheaper when they first are released and sometimes Disney issues a coupon as well. I have a feeling Disney is going to rerelease Frozen in 3D with more bonus features. Hmmm.

No...I hope not It's just one of those sets that seems to be setting a long time with no interest...or so it seems. We all have sets we don't like or duds and I'll gladly replace the space with another set with greater appreciation potential or sets I personally like more. Still made good net return...purchasing for under 50% off retail helps. *oh, when I said 'one set left in my inventory'...I meant ONE left of this specific set.

    I believe the market in Europe is more difficult than the US. I am happy at least you sold something.

I love a good poop!

Maybe a little. Whats funny is, IMO, 42025's B build is what I want over the plane. lol

interest hasn't declined in the least in my opinion. I sell the crap out of Ninjago stuff in my store. These aren't AFOLs. This means the sets are good investments, but they are not going to peak like the modulars, etc. They explode after retirement and then hit a peak before as a toy most parents are buying for their children, they will slow down and hit a ceiling. Doesn't mean they aren't good investments or they aren't popular. And since my store started up in Aug 13, I have sold more parted Epic Dragon Battles than any other set by far. So I am not worried in the least. EDB jumped back up to retail in an instant when it was gone this last christmas.

Starbuck's lemon pound cake

I hate how the US always gets a big fat catalog and the Canadian version is about half as thick. As usual Canada gets

thanks Blackjack, now I am going to hack this shirt to play that song, so every time I go into a room I will have the prefect theme song playing. Every REAL man needs a theme song, just look at Wrestling on tv. http://youtu.be/wnXq2HDkFc0

Umm, okay. >men vs women by dkammy, on Flickr

Those are honestly some of the worst minifigs I have ever seen and a disgrace to the turtles(along with this new movie.) The other funny thing about the figs are based on the movie trailer the turtles are significantly bigger than humans so them being the same size as April makes no sense.

Mehh...? Who cares again exactly?

I wasn't much of a fan of it when it was first released. My feelings changed when I saw it built in a LEGO store. I have two sets now and would love to get them moving as fast as the train in the video.

No no, I have purchased a few for investment purposes, but it just isn't my favorite designed train... I just prefer others. The new 60052 looks nice, and I plan to motorize my true Ghost Train after parts arrive. I think my comment came off wrong haha.

I'ld recommend buying a Cargo Train and a High Speed Passenger Train from LEGO, they will soon be retired with a new Cargo Train and a new HSP Train. Trains always jump in value, and you'll get about $30 in VIP points on LEGO.com because of 2x points.

2 Grand Emporiums. Problem solved.

I'm so glad he popped in to set you straight on that. I'll bet you were under the horrible misapprehension that you were on eBay to try to make some money. How embarrassing to make that kind of mistake! Now you know better, and can go for the loss like a real eBay seller. People are hilarious. I can't count the number of messages I've received over the years wanting to know why some rare and valuable book published 50 years ago now costs 100 times what it did "back then". I especially like the people who contact me to tell me I'm charging way too much, because for some reason whatever they're complaining about always sells, at full price, within a few days.

And nobody goes to work to earn money. -I don't always go shopping, but when I do I buy Lego-

I highly doubt anyone would pay extra to hear your poop jokes :p

*FACEPALM*

Reading April Fools news posts while not yet awake enough to realize that it's April 1st...

I pre-ordered and they canceled it. I might see if they'll price match, since they now have it listed for $39.96.

Take a look at the set online. Note special/rare pieces and all minifigs that way you can easily see that it is mostly there. It is very probable that a few pieces are missing despite what people say. But a few common pieces are easily replaced. I always pick a few random pieces out to check for mega blocks (not too much of a worry on a single large set) also check condition. Bite marks, play wear, sticky residue etc etc. This will give you a very good idea how cared for the set was. The better the condition the more likely it is complete and a good buy. Besides that be friendly and don't be afraid to punch out if something isn't right or the set turns out to be a basket case.

Another try at improving my videos.

Hard to lift when you are twerking isn't it.

Man, I think I just wandered into the weird part of brickpicker.....

I don't know, panties, once worn, tend to lose a lot of their resale value. Unless it's going to be worn by Shakira or something, you're probably better off keeping them mint in the package.

I love how you got two 'likes' for my post. :mda:

I like big butts and I cannot lie! Oh come on, you knew someone had to do it. :cheese:

I think we all can agree most things look better with a nice caboose. :spiteful:
