I'm not really a make-believe type... but I just found out this feature on BP. lol So here you go, Bold.

Boo, 20% off isn't even a sale with the inflated prices. I hope they do another 40% off clearance!

I wouldn't be interested either, if it didn't rise to $180 - $190 with 3rd party resellers every time it goes out of stock.

The Lego HISHE (How it should have ended)

Get SSD, as well as all of the Rovers, and resell Rovers to Jojoyojimbi for $60 a piece

Honestly, if you were truly "smart," you would keep your stories of your LEGO heist to yourself, but as with most criminals, you just have to brag. That's the first step in getting caught. Just sayin'.... Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

What could they come up with for sets? All I keep thinking of is the blasted fart gun.

Everyone relax...TRU still has these.

Agree with you for the most part but if a buyer has a choice between two sellers selling the same set for the same price and one box is perfect and one is crushed they are most likely going to buy the perfect box especially if it's going to be given as a gift for Christmas/birthday so I think you would have to reduce price at least some to entice buyers.

This has been posted via the The Brickfan. Nothing too earth shattering. Looks like there is a nice little polybag to go along with The Mixer set.

One thing I have done is reserved my business name's .com and I point that web address straight to my eBay store page*. That reserves the name for you, points people to your inventory (you could point it to whatever other site you sell more on instead, if it's not eBay), and gives you the option in the future to create your own site if you want to. Buying a domain name is cheap, and well worth it to keep from kicking yourself in a few years when you really want to do something with mycoolstorename.com. *I have not checked that linkage in awhile, turns out it's defunct, lol. Doing online chat with godaddy right now to get it back in place. See, these threads are quite useful, they remind me to check things like that from time to time!

Picked up my $99 Grand Emporiums from Walmart yesterday. That was an interesting process, but they gave me the clearance price.

What is the site for? What does it sell? What kind of inventory do you have?

lol,, why do I get the feeling u didn't see what I posted as just being a joke

Hello... I would like to announce the winners of April 2014 Monthly Blog and Review Writing Contest. There was a close race this month between Lenjon and Comicblast. By points, Lenjon won, but I feel Comicblast deserved something, so I will split the $100 Prize(two $50 GCs) into a $75 GC for Lenjon and a $25 GC for Comicblast. I would like to thank all that entered this month's contests. The winners (Lenjon and Comicblast) can contact Jeff and I directly for prize information. Jeff and I are going to postpone the current contest. We have an idea about having a group of "blog writers" that get paid in LEGO sets or gift cards. Members of this writing group will get paid to produce content. More on this in a couple of days...

Phht... Nothing can beat motorized tornado! (except maybe motorized sharknado?) http://lego.gizmodo.com/this-wizard-of-oz-lego-build-features-a-motorized-torna-514152930

Didn't Wizard of Oz just get to the review stage at CUUSOO

Having slightly off-norm packaging does help sometimes. A time or two over the years when a package was mis-directed, our unusual book packaging did jog the postal carrier's memory and they were able to find the package either in the bowels of the post office or on a neighbor's doorstep. Sadly, our LEGO packaging is very boring and standard - bubble mailers, priority or plain brown boxes. I suppose I could slap giant grinning frog stickers all over them.

Russia* You r welcome. Lol

I have a business venture to propose... We pool our money, buy lots of winter sets, and set up physical shop in Alaska.

I tried that, she told me, You've got over a hundred now, don't put all your eggs in one basket, to which i replied there's room left in this storage bin for another 20 or so!

Just as a small proof, I bought 2 MISB 10216's in December in a local, large toy shop.

If there is no purchase limit at the store, then $10 of $50 will make 13 of them to be $3.22+ tax a piece

You sure on the no 50% off star wars Lego? The fine print in my local TRU flyer says that Star Wars Lego sets $229.99 and up are excluded. http://www.flyertown.ca/#!/flyers/toysruscanada-flyer?flyer_run_id=25025 (you have to zoom in to read it)

I have used it multiple times on the toy 10% off. Limit on that was 4 items but could use 6 times in one day. Read the fine print on the one you are using.

I have used the same deal 3-4 times a day without problems. Although I have not used them more than 6 times a day.

Amazon 3rd party sellers need to raise it so high to cover their extreme expenses. I'm not seeing many 3rd party sales when amazon is sold-out (when i watch) but then again, we can't track (or at least, I don't know how to) completed sales on that site. Completed "new" sales on bricklink are averaging $6 above MSRP before postage. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?S=10226-1 "Sold" new ebay sales are all over the place before shipping. The avg range is $75 to $130 before shipping but many sellers gave free postage, http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&LH_ItemCondition=3&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=50&_udhi=250&_sop=3&_nkw=lego+10226&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=1 update: what concerns me more about 10226 compared to 10220 is that 10226 doesn't seem to have nearly as many completed / sold sales. on ebay, 10220 is outselling 10226 by 3 to 1. on bricklink, there have been 45 new and 1 used 10226s old w/in the last 6 months while the 10220 #s are 389 new and 3 used sales. ***to me, this is an indicator of future demand***

My apologies if someone already suggested this but Charlie Brown CMF would be awesome in my book. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

Man those MOC models look even better than the plastic MASK toys I had way back when

I thank you for sharing the helpful video but you really don't need to post the same thing into a bunch of different topics. Once should be enough.

I will be attempting to buy these by the case as it seems these will be the last of the cuusoo branded items, and a heck of a set at that.

Take my money. I was always a fan of this line. Brings back memories of when I was 9 years old.

Secondary market prices will stay the same as TRU retail until TRU sells out in 6 years.

Or you could get these http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Star-Wars-Star-Destroyer-Play-Set/31196260

Hey, it's Dagobah.

Let's not give Ed all the credit. He was just the loudest Many of us have been saying for a while to get this set. The time to have bought was last month especially after the Sandcrawler release date news.

Everything is Awesome!!!! .....with Tacos. Welcome to the site, TacoTuesday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DyN28XAwlM

JP already shipped from Kmart. thanks again for posting P!!!

Don't know if anyone has posted a "feel" guide yet so I thought I would in case it would help anyone. I have felt up (poor choice of words) two cases in my local Walmart trying to find complete sets. I have listed the difficulty level and the item in the bag to find for each. Homer - Easy - Donut - Small and round. Nothing like it in any other bag Bart - Easy - Wheels - The wheels are separate from the skateboard Marge - Easy - Hair - Long and round. Nothing like it in any other bag Grandpa - HARD - One of the 3 that have square accessories. Grandpa is taller than Milhouse and Ralp. Feel for his longer legs that move. Krusty - Easy - Pie- Completely round. Milhouse - HARD - Square accessory. For Milhouse and Ralph I had to use the flashlight to see his face in the bag. His head is bigger than Ralph's. Ralph - HARD - See above. Had to use flashlight at home for confirmation. Apu - Medium - Find his coffee cup. Similar to Flanders cup but you can tell the difference. No handle. Nelson - Easy - Baseball bat. Similar to Wiggum's club but longer. Itchy - Easy - Club Big and oddly shaped with narrow handle. Nothing like it in any other bag. Scratchy - Easy - Ax - Long with the ax head at the end. Chief Wiggum - Easy - Find the club or find the bullhorn. Mr.Burns - Easy - His rod of radioactive material is easy to find. Small and cylindrical. Lisa - Easy - Sax - Feels funny in the bag. Find the end piece. Maggie - Medium - Bear - This can be confused with other small items. You can feel the arms of the bear. Also note that maggie has no legs so you can feel for that. Flanders - Easy - Tool box - Very distinctive rectangular shape. Overall it's not that bad. Grandpa, Ralph, and Milhouse will cause you problems but other than those three it's fairly easy.

2x in single order or in separate orders?

I wouldn't say that any of the people who have been doing this for a while are stupid, they were way ahead of the curve on this, afterall. And I haven't seen one person who has been doing this for years ever say that they are surprised that this is happening. All any of them has represented is more of a disappointment in what it has become. Also, none of them have stated they're done. Of course they are adapting, but it doesn't mean they can't be disappointed in the new market. They already know how to do this. I think people forget that when people started doing this 10 years ago there was no site to ask every day "what should I buy?!" or "when will xxxx retire?!" or "when should I sell this?!" They did it all on their own and they are plenty savvy. Don't mistake disappointment for unpreparedness.

I just wish they would go public. to own stock in Lego

Bought two other 3368 City Space Centres today. These go like warm breadrolls!

I want M.A.S.K. Give me a Lego Boulder Hill and all those awesome vehicles in LEGO form. Oooooooo yeah :-)

I wasn't sure. No Lego store in my area. Was hoping that TRU had them in store as well, since they sold on eBay. But now I know. That sucks. I was only able to get 2 of them at 29.99. LMAO

You will be ok.....it's not as big of a deal as everyone is making it out to be, same with the DUPLO zoo.

My son likes the show, too. Except when the turtles spar. He says there are plenty of bad guys to beat up instead lol.
