That's a whole lotta girlie sets. Heartlake Lighthouse sounds interesting. I'd hate for the bulb to burn out and a whole Dolphin Cruiser full of party goers crashes into Heartlake Reef.

Got my first shipment.

My stock 2 weeks ago from TRU. Just had time open them up last night.

Remember when I told you not to place that Amazon order? I told you that you would thank me later.

That is why, when you buy a copy for yourself to build you should open it right away. Do not wait too long. Cause then the value is increased and you will have problems opening it. No matter what, it is difficult. I bought the 10231 Shuttle Adventure MISB and the 4184 Black Pearl MISB to build it. But cause of the move to the new house I cannot open them now. I have to wait. Prices already went up since a month or two ago. So I need to hurry up!

I guess I forgot to post these. I went with the smaller flame to save room on my desk.

Holy Hot Dogs! Fill your freezers!!! On August 28th, head on over to Sonic for $0.50 Corn Dogs all day!! No coupon needed. This will be at all locations. Don

I love under the radar killings like these.

Hero Factory, Surge, Pyrox, Frost Beast for $41 shipped. I bought them for much less than that.

If anyone wants to see what the official instructions look like then this Flickr gallery will help. Probably easier too since I can embed it into the post and you can go through it same as a slideshow. You can even see the parts list as well. It isn't a whole lot different than what I did a few posts back but this might be easier to follow for those of us more accustomed with Lego's setup. http://www.flickr.com/photos/neoape/sets/72157646320899458/

I particularly enjoy the messages that instruct me what to do. For example I received the following eBay PM the other day: "pls offer $60 for this item, thanks!" Well, since you used an exclamation point, maybe I will...you seem friendly enough!

Well... if it was a good buy at $55.98, it's a better buy at $48.98, no? http://shop.lego.com/en-US/The-Croc-Swamp-Hideout-70014?fromListing=listing Tempting... but this would be my first Chima purchase... just don't think I want to start into another theme. Also, if they have stacks of them at ToysRUS for $70, you can take a 20% coupon, and a 10% Thursday and get almost down to this price. For me, this may just be one of those that "got away".

Not a high roller at all. It was a Risk Vs. Reward decision. Low risk with free target GC, yes I could have bought more Charmine, Bounty, and Tide, but with the chance of this set being another Rover, "Limited" in the catalogue, limit of 2 at LEGO Shop at Home, the designer saying it was one run and done and other factors I figured I would go for it. We shall see how it works out in a few months,

And when it's that time of the month, she'll let it flow.

Did you see full rumored set list here? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=127408271#post127408271 Pirates Large Ship! Yay

I agree, but I would probably do it the other way around. I would first make sure I get a well preserved, but cheap used set and then sell the MISB set for more after fees than I paid for the used one.

Great post, redeemed. I would sell those MISB sets, and head to BL or CL to pick up a used copy of the same set. To me, there's no magic in cutting the seals on a set. Pocket the difference and still have a great set for buiding. Then when it's sat for a year in the basement, you can sell the used set for more than what you bought it for!

Don't wait for discounts on this set(maybe double VIP in Oct). The last LOTR/Hobbit movie is December. You can pretty much well kiss this theme goodbye after the first of the new year.

LOL, maybe we need to change this thread to '6862 - Superman Vs Power Armour Lex EOL speculation'

Started building Fort Legoredo last night

My seven year old is putting this set together by himself for me, so far all I've done is place the rubber bands on the legs. The same lot also has a 6210 Sail Barge, I'll have him do that next. After that onto the 6212 X-Wing. I think I'll surprise him and let him keep that one as payment for helping me out. This is the easiest lot I've done, since he's doing all the work. 7675 AT-TE

I popped into Wal-Mart where I've been watching some older sets for discounts. They have an entire 2-sided isle of legos marked down and an additional 50% off the marked price. I spent $2000, but scored 10 Lego 9398 for $45 each; 3 Millenium Falcons for $32 each; SW Jek 14 $15 each; and 5 Goblin Attack Sets for $22 each. I also grabbed a bunch of smaller sets for kid's Christmas gifts. I broke the bank, but I'm set for Christmas selling. The only set I left behind was TMNT Shell Raiser. I figure if they have to discount them when the new movie just came out than TMNT must be a loser. Now I have to bust the blow dryer to pull off the clearance stickers without damaging the sets.

She's just one of the folks who gains enjoyment writing to sellers to tell them their prices are too high. You get them sometimes. I always seem to end up behind them in the line at the supermarket. You can ignore their messages, or send back a polite, "Thank you for your interest, but this is our best price at this time."

I had to change shirts, my face was becoming too recognizable...lol.

I got a 10189 Taj Mahal for $600 used. He said it's complete. but haven't had time to sort them out.

The shield season 1 episode 1. Best show of all time.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - the only reason this set jumped as high as it did as fast as it did was because one buyer was buying the majority of the sets that were available for sale. He created an artificial demand for those months around the release. Had he not been buying everything that got listed, the price wouldn't have been $400+ during that time.

[email protected] without tax, sorry, bought the last one ^^^ for the poll in daily deals, here it does not apply...

If u have to worry about your respective investments you're in the wrong Game. I buy and forget. I have other things to''worry'' about....

Hmm, interesting how most sellers repriced their RIs on Amazon... More than half of the sellers are now above $109 point. Do they know something? Or most of them are us? 8 sellers (out of 28) priced it above $149 BTW, Todd Seimer? Get on with a program, will ya? Or better yet, focus on your photography perhaps, and maybe give RI as a gift to some bride that into science...

My store just got a new shipment in Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

You can order up to 50 at some stores. I have no idea how many orders of 50 is too much. Please report back.

Erm excuse me, I think you've got enough Lego. Some people are so greedy!

Thanks for sharing

Don't let that troll get under your skin

my wife has a habit of sorta chewing gum loud (w/o realizing it) so i played this video for her... she wasn't pleased.

My Wal-Mart reports that all Wal-MArts are clearing space for new Super Hero and Turtle Sets coming in this week. The amount clearance depends on the space available

Man that would be a quick way to possible pick up defects though. lol.

Whew! I'm glad I didn't waste my time with that $25 membership fee.

that spaceman will look good with the exo suit.

I'm not in Chima stuff but I feel a high investing potential in this big baby.

The trick is not telling your wife what you buy! ;-)
