Nothing will pull me away. If the site goes down I will fix it after the movie. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

As promised, I will post how I built the digital rendition of the San Diego Comic-Con Classic-TV Batmobile. First off is the part list which was taken straight from the generated HTML Building Guide LDD generates. I tried to keep the amount of bricks minimal as possible to make it easy to put together while still taking into consideration Lego

This 'controversy' reminds me of how all the schools were flipping out about Bart Simpson "Don't have a cow, man" t-shirts when I was a kid. If you had Simpson's anything in school they'd send you home to change or confiscate it.

Glad you guys like it. Well this may be a while but I think I have a pretty good idea what I want to tackle next....

7346 - Seaside House; all three models over the last few days when I had a chance to. Let me start off with just how much I love the color of medium blue. ....I love it. Now like every other Creator set, I built the main model or as the manual states the

I loved the 1st one. it Had everything a guy movie should (like the Expendables movies). Sharks, guns, bikinis, hot chicks, chainsaws, flying animals, flying sharks, Tara Reid looking hot despite looking used, Tornadoes, helicopters, no plot, terrible acting, hot chicks, senseless violence, etc... All that was missing was a flying 10179 Kinda like drinking Beast Ice during college. So bad yet so good.

Very nice reduction. Simpson house 159

Just to revisit.... first number is the last 12 months gain according to US Brickpicker... You are welcome 4181 Isla De Muerta +45.29% (+105.10% overall increase) 4182 Cannibal Escape +36.98% (+25.98% overall increase) 4183 The Mill +24.24% (+16.90% overall increase) 4191 Captains Cabin +32.12% (+78.40% overall increase) 4192 Fountain of Youth +27.02% (+81.54% overall increase) 4193 London Escape +43.76% (+17.90% overall increase) 4194 Whitecap Bay +22.47% (+3.69% overall increase)

Between the deal at Hooters and now this talk about cheesecake, I could leave some rather inappropriate comments here. :whistle:

She likely told him he needed an undamaged set and took the dented one out to her car.

I'm waiting for the director's uncut version. The nudity in the last one was impeccable.

Maybe there's a Sharknado in Denmark that shut down the LEGO site...

At a certain point, you have to enjoy when they know how ridiculously stupid it is.

The other guy had 300 sets valued at $50k which averages out to $167 a pop. They weren't stealing speedorz and battle packs. I hope it wasn't the Quizno's dumpster because we all know someone would have found them before she could get back to them..

Yup... And some smallville for $15

I used to collect the Shell promo sets, but honestly this is not a good partnership for Lego. Shell has an abysmal environmental record all over the world, not just in the Arctic, and it makes good business sense for a toy company to try and avoid this sort of controversy. If you're selling toys, you want people to associate your product with happy, playful images, not leaking pipelines or sea birds coated in crude oil. It reminds me a little of the Jabba's Palace controversy last Spring, where some German group representing muslims of Turkish dissent said the set was bad because it looked like a mosque in Istanbul (fun fact: before Istanbul was conquered by the Ottoman Empire, back when it was named Constantinople, the "mosque" in question was in fact a church). The funny thing is, they were right. Of course, that's because the source material, the images of Jabba's Palace from RotJ, also looked like the building in question. Anyway, if I were running Lego, I'd steer clear of anything that gets people so riled up.

I understand what you are saying.but the bottom line is that any buyer can say that parts/minifigures are missing.regardless,if you have put NIB,NISB,or anything else.If I'm going to buy a expensive set,from a seller on Ebay,then I would rather check the contents of the box,to see if all is there.It all comes down to honesty & trust.so far,touch wood,I have never been scammed by a buyer or seller.99% of Ebay users are honest & trustworthy.it's that 1%,who will take advantage,and try to pull a fast one.

If you are selling this on eBay I would suggest reading over ebays policy as they are cut and dry about this. This puts the seller at risk for a guaranteed loss. What's to say you list it as new, ship it to the buyer, they remove the minifugures, open a "item not as described" case since the set was opened. What recourse does the seller have? How can you prove that set was all there before you sent it? The only thing you have is your word and we all know how eBay is with cases. The buyers are priority so don't get caught with this, I learned my mistake the hard way. I don't want anyone else having that problem or feeding misinformation to the new people of the forum.

Darth Vader's TIE Fighter (8017) AWH $56 70810 Metal Beard's Sea Cow AWH $215.28 LEGO Creator Pet Shop 10218 Target $60.80 (gc)

See links in main post. Without discounted GC, 15% off coupon on those sets is marginally useless - you can probably find better deals elsewhere

Oh and thanks again peenutz!

Thanks for the heads up. Just bought one of the two that were left, and kindly left the last one for the next person to read this thread.

We should all stock up on Simpsons Houses and minifigs, then collectively drum up outrage across the internet to increase chances of it retiring prematurely. Who's with me!

looks great. Might have to build one of these when I get chance :)

awesome thanks!!

i tell them that i would rather throw it in the trash then sell it to them for that price.....

Not sure if this of interest to any overseas people but a shop here in Australia still has some of these for sale at Australian RRP: http://www.mrtoys.com.au/?LEGO-Toys/LEGO-Miscellaneous/LEGO-NASA-Mars-Curiosity-Rover-21104-CUSSOO;Item;21409 Price might work out cheaper than Ebay for some...

So... is LEGO Shop at Home back up and running again?

Shoot, I have been waiting to see that documentary for a few years now but then let myself get sidetracked and forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder! Now I recall there was supposed to be a film on various indie game developers. I don't know if that was completed yet or even the name. Ugh, I'm so absent minded. :wacko:

Wings and cheesecake, kinda a balancing effect on the toilet.

Dont worry the site may be down but the employees are still hard at work processing and shipping your orders.

It's not retired until it's 1/2 off.

We're gonna need a bigger shark.

emma begs to differ http://nypost.com/2014/03/06/woman-plays-fortune-cookie-lottery-numbers-wins-2m/

Do the fortunes in their cookies ever come true?

..... Just a stranger on a bus..... ;)

And 1 of those gone is extra for me :-| I don't know. It's not widely known as a modular Or...Belgian investors are so clever they know it will fail in secondary market Or... every Belgian investor is on holiday... Or... the price can still be lower? :-| No clue at all why they still sit there

Based on some of the other replies, perhaps the word "scammed" in her reply above should be replaced by the word "caught"?

Now you know why the store rarely has DSs and SSDs in stock.. :P

Just ordered 8 from walmart site to store 58 each. Thanks Jaisonline.

Deluxe Blue Brick Box - 5508, just flipped in less than 2 weeks. Purchased for $50, sold for $130.

I'm waiting to see if they drop the price later so I can price match, or PM to another store, or just return. But thank you for the constructive feedback.

dear 4204 the mine, why can't you just retire already! darn you. without regards. ja is online c.c. 10214 Tower Bridge

Unless Lego releases a set with a $3,000 MSRP. Prepare yourselves for the Unikitty Megamodel!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh78T--ZUxY Awesome man, sometimes I dream about finding this set in the back of some garage sale lol. Perhaps if this investing gig works out I'll spend some of the profits on one.

I have had someone tell me that X website or seller has this item for way cheaper than you do My response........Thanks for the heads up! Don't bother trying to buy it because I already did. Next time I suggest you buy it instead of wasting time emailing me.

I'm going to go against the grain a little here in terms of POTC. If you find POTC discounted then there is money to be made. The Whitecap Bay set for example was a considered a fair disaster yet it has been making it's way back up in price, rising 27.45% in the past 6 months. In fact the past 6 months: 4181 Isla De Muerta +22.36% (46.72% overall increase) 4182 Cannibal Escape +25.33% (-12.57% overall decrease) 4183 The Mill +4.77% (-18.1% overall decrease) 4191 Captains Cabin +2.15% (23.1% overall increase) 4192 Fountain of Youth +24.29% (46.67% overall increase) 4193 London Escape +13.55% (-14.32% overall decrease) 4194 Whitecap Bay +27.45% (-13.35% overall decrease) There DEFINITELY is money to be made in POTC outside of the ships.
