Here it is folks...Green Lantern is finally getting his own set. Green Lantern vs. Sinestro (76025) (guest starring Batman)

I've made several of the cheese variety and they are delicious.

All is well. He got back to me saying never mind it was ok and the slice wasn't that bad. I sent a $5 refund anyway.

for the ******-th time in last few weeks.... wait a few hours - they dude on a moped got stuck in traffic

Guy on the moped came in. Ship date Aug 4

It's funny to think about though.. Target bigwig: "Johnson! What's the status on our inflated GEs?! We need the profits from those sales to keep our produce and bedsheets alive! Smith! You better be refreshing that Shop at Home page if you wanna keep feeding your family! We're not getting caught with our price at $249 when that product status hits Available Now!"

Finally!!! That Batman is sweet too. They should put Batman in a Friends set, casual weekend shopping Batman at the Heartlake Mall.

Yes, I do sell in sets. If I have multiples of a set, why not combine them with another set to create another listing. (...one listing for each item plus a combined set listing.) I do not mark then down one cent b/c I am selling them as a set. Those who buy sets are typically people buying gift sets. (What are the chances you have the exact two sets a collector needs?) It also helps to sell in sets when you have cheap sets but dont want to sell them one at a time to make a few bucks at a time. Combine sets to make a listing worth your time. This approach also helps to make the shipping costs more affordable...who wants to pay 5 bucks for shipping on a 20 dollar item....7 bucks on 50 is more palpable to me as a consumer. Admins can lock this thread...my answer is correct and there really is no need for anymore discussion...Pickleboy has spoken.

Built the mini mini

Woot!

Did you use any "Magic" because I havent got mine yet

Here you have R2 without acne.. Jajaja Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

The Hobbit: The Lonely Mountain set has been revealed!

Excellent! Except for Batman, he looks horrible, and I mean that, this version is horrible. Oddly enough, Green Lantern looks very good though.

I worry so much about box condition, just open the set and build it. That's what Lego sets are made for in the first place.

This is the best advice. The weight tolerance between boxes is usually very little. You will know if something is missing.

Get a $10 digital scale from Amazon, works wonders on treating set tampering paranoia

Welcome! To avoid confusion, I recommend we dub him "Not Quite as Bold Arrow", or if he prefers, "Extra-Bold Arrow, Now Even Boldier!"

I'd weigh it. If the weight comes relatively close or within reasonable error, then I see no reason to return it.

All praise the Mighty Dill! :mda:

I love this thread. I have a couple of these but haven't built one, this thread is not helping me keep this NISB. :-) Really surprised at the variety of colored pieces, looks weird during the build but I can see why they do it.

De 21e was maandag he :-) Welkom!

Not magic... Also my Mini Cooper, Mini Mini Cooper, and shredder promo arrived today.

They didn't call, I checked out as guest so no staples account. I ordered it this morning.

i get this stuff all the time. there is a reason why i order 10 at a time of the same set from amazon. use 8 for padding, keep the 2 good ones last time i got a petshop that fell of the truck, taped up all around inside a box that was missing the whole side. may be complete. building now, if not sending back... EDIT: had they only used extra tape all around, the boxes would stay together and wouldnt fold/crush as much

That is what the GE will be doing for the next two to three months. Then Lego will have a lot of them available for purchase during Black Friday, and then it will be officially retired.

Receiving damaged items from retailers is one of the most frustrating aspects of reselling. I receive damaged items way too often. Most retailers will send you a free label to return damaged items.

Found on /r/lego: http://imgur.com/r0DLCwp http://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/2bg7pe/update_after_writing_to_lego_about_the_kid_with/ LEGO's CS is legendary, man.

Apologies for the "threadsurrection", but here's one I thought deserved attention: A fully functional Lego microscope, made completely out of Lego bricks! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/44370 CNET also did an article on it: http://www.cnet.com/news/microscope-built-entirely-out-of-lego-actually-works/

You do keep your potato peel, right?

Trekgate nice listing! you should buy one of these and make a package deal. Act now and get... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=141350639492

Definitely make sure that they are all lego not megabloks.

The catalog doesn't help when you are trying to determine the EOL date of a set. Some sets can be out of a catalog for a while, and then show up again. But I do agree that this set should be done anytime soon. The theme that the set is associated with is long gone. It should go any day soon. Most likely at the end of this year, when many sets go EOL.

It's pretty incredible anything thinks that Target adds anything of note to their bottom line from selling a few Lego items... In fact they probably don't even know their Lego sales exist other than algorithm's automatically changing the price to correspond with apps pre-set weeks in advance. They probably have one MBA guy running their Ebay page and that's about it. A few thousand in retired toys means nothing to them, they care about their billion dollar clothing lines and produce sections, not about making an extra hundred dollars..

Do not try to keep up with the Joneses... nothing good ever came out of that

Big box retailers make their money by moving large amounts of merchandise. It makes little sense for Target to price gauge a handful of GE's. An extra $1200 on those items sold with the $100 markup is nothing to them in the grand scheme of things. Normally they would just sell these at msrp and then move on to the next thing. It's probably either a pricing error (we've seen it go the other way with the MHC), or they're testing the waters with TRU pricing.

25 hours, 18 minutes to go...

Nope! I watched it like 10 times and showed the kids it like 5 times last night!

If they did a Harvey Dent minifig poly that would be perfect to round out the characters. Or Gordon or Rachel would be great too

Is there a badge available for reading through this entire thread? If so I would like mine now. Please and thank you. Carry on.

Yeah, in the words of Dave Chappelle: "It might be Doo Doo!"

The Xmas sets giveaways have 2011 on them, don't know if that is what you meant, the logo is similar but I do not think it is the same.

The date in which I go backrupt.

I posted this elsewhere, but it's relevant to this thread to. I ordered a handful of baseplates from yoyo, they came in a gigantic box. It was full of those air packs, but they were still sliding around a lot on the bottom fo the box. Luckily none were broken.

Don't worry, Walmart was kind enough to give me one of those too.

Picked up 8 today from target.com. Need To get up to 50 sets. Between target and Amazon, I should be good to go.
