You might not hear back from her (after all, you do have have her medication).

Dearest Lego Denmark Employee: I hope this post found you well. We just want to let you know that all the purchases revolving around the Town Hall in the last week do not reflect the true demand for this set. The set still sucks, so please retire it. Yours Truly, MLNCS A Lego fan first (and a Lego investor second)

Don't do auctions. Do fixed price listings with immediate payment required. Problem solved forever. You're welcome.

Doesn't it feel good to have reached your target for a set? You get to watch all those panic posts, and just be like "Yeah, already got me some of that."

Noticed the mechanical right hand. I am just glad the tradition of body mutilation will be carried on to movie VII

People need to get their priorities straight! Buying LEGO products does serve but one use: Reselling them later! Also they should stop buying other stuff just because they might enjoy it and be happy... I mean what nonsense is that? Spending money on things?! You should keep that money and hoard it. And one day when you're 90 years old sitting in that dark empty space you call home you'll at least have a lot of money to keep you company and boy all those happy memories you can share with it, like that one time when you didn't open a LEGO set that you really wanted to build but sold it for some more money.

Are you worried about buying original Japanese items from countries other than Japan? Our Japanese staff will send you with care. anyone have any idea what they are trying to say here? F5 F5 F5

It's OK, boss hears you maniacally pushing keys and yelling ahhhh come on! From time to time, so he/she probably thinks you are very very busy.

finger... tired... no HH in sight...

It is also nice because otherwise I would be broke by now.

Dear Neurotic Collector, What are seal codes? Respectfully, Max Profit

Or... "Dear Lego, As a neurotic, truly obsessed collector, I only want to own a Lego set like, hypothetically, a Town Hall, if I can be assured that it is a 'first edition'. Please tell me how I can determine this from the seal codes. Sincerely, Not An Investor"

Question: How does one see the real rover if the rover is on Mars?

Tell him you are a rich investor and will give him a huge grant to see the REAL Rover on Mars.

If one not a collector, then just bricklink it. Yes, it does look scary at first. But people went through 90s with such interfaces, and survived...

I got a similar ebay email from the same person about 20 minutes ago.

got super lucky today at westfarms mall in ct - on a hunch called this am, asked if they had any TH and/or Tumblers. yes and yes. not just one, right? no, several. booked it down from western mass and got there around 3pm - it was DEAD in the mall and the lego store was also quiet. the usual know it all remember every customer manager dude was not there. instead I had this nice sarcastic jeanine garofalo type of manager who wanted to sell some lego since no one else was buying anything. i mumbled something about having to buy my nephews and godson xmas gifts. yeah - right. these are gifts... walked out with 3 perfect mint TH's, all 38R4. Ths were in back - none on the sales floor. also let me buy 2 mint Tumblers. everything was double VIP and gave me 5 holiday promos.

I give up. The best I can guess is: VH = 851831 Viking Helmet BZ = 4962 Baby Zoo

Great way to end the show would be to have them be on Alderaan, discussing how Obi-Wan Kenobi was arriving shortly with Bail Organa. Suddenly everything gets very dark and they see a gigantic death star roll into orbit. Then the green lasers fire up, screen goes black, end of series.

Lol, how bizarre. And what a weird thing to be scrolling through this person's auctions and seeing these all mixed together. It's like.. Aw, this could be a cute choice... "Girls Frozen Elsa&Anna Olaf Snowman Kids Top Blouse T-Shirts Clothes 2-7Y Shirts" Ah, that looks nice for my little sweetpea too... "NEW Frozen ANNA Elsa Princess Dress Coronation Gown Costume Girls Xmas Size 7-8" Whoa...wtf?? "LEATHER GIMP DOG Puppy Hood Full Mask Mouth Gag Costume Party Mask ZIPPED MUZZLE" And... "Exotic Men's Full Body PU Leather Harness Chest O-Rings Goth *** Fancy Buckles"

Star Wars Celebration VII is going to be insane.

I would think used megablok lots at garage sales are rare. Those are usually mixed in with LEGO bricks in a tub marked "used legos"

trek, please feel free to create a new speculation thread about the upcoming 8000 element count ep 7 SSD

I think they are releasing an 8000 piece version.

This one will "definitely" retire end of 2014. TECHNIC sets might be slow growers but at least you can very accurately estimate their EOL dates most of the time.

Whole listing is gone, it came back when briefly in stock a while ago. Funny how it was stripped from the site so fast; yet FB and Sopwith still have listings.

And now Mr Lego Cashier, we will discuss your policy regarding 1 Tumbler per household.

Yes. LEGO Shop at Home US

Just keeps coming back. Wish I could get another. Don't have to right tools. Bringing a knife to a gun fight is what I do every time I try to get this. And I don't know where to get a gun.

It's nice that Amazon has a purchase limit of 2 per account per week. That way more people have a chance to grab one.

For anyone that hasn't hit their 2/wk limit, keep an eye on Amazon today, looks like the HH carousel is back on.

Nice score Tabby- I have just 3. And I hate to do it, but I'm pretty sure we're going to tear into one of them tonight. I mean, that was always the plan - to have one for ourselves - but looking at prices now (and imagining where they may go)... it's going to be hard to crack those seals. I've been preparing my six-year-old all week: telling him that this will be not his Lego, but our family's Lego. That we're going to set it up for Halloween, then take it down after the holiday - just like a Christmas tree. You will not take the minifigures to your room. You will not swap their heads with your stormtroopers or Darth Vader... jeez... I feel like the dad in the Lego movie. But I gotta lay down some law.

sell. the TH will have much more growth left than the Maersk trains

You have no idea how much that scene from the original clip still makes me laugh my ass off. "Falcon....PUNCH!!!!" :lol:

R = Ci

It was just in jest, and I actually meant what I asked. It is troubling if the label shows 39 because that means Lego went to factory and conjured up a new batch to fill the orders. May or may not be an indication of EOL, but that means Lego did not stop production, and kept on producing. Then again, when I learned that you can be awarded the Troll badge, I figured I could try to earn it. I think Watson rather than Sherlock might have gotten me closer to the Troll badge.

He gave himself away right in the beginning...how can we believe anything this guy says??

I do wonder about that. Personally, I find FB to be the worst of all the modulars. Not only do I find the building looks a bit dull and small, but some of the building techniques -- the flag made of bricks instead of the GE's flag pieces, the awful looking tree -- leave me scratching my head a bit. I'm sure others feel differently, but if I could have all modulars except one, it would be an easy decision to exclude the FB.

Sorry too much red wine running through my veins. It's a middle aged thing, I think I misinterpreted your post, (I think)

I think you really deserve it. A genuine reaction. I feel your happiness

Back on topic. Any pictures of the 2nd free holiday set yet ?

Or you can try this:

what really got me interested in the set was the lego designer video. that's when i saw the floor layouts. i just wish the front was more light gray (prob would look too much like a Court) and less dark orange. however i understand the use of dark orange for the brick-look (no pun) Astrid did a good job presenting the set's design and especially it's features.

Some more leaked SW 7 concept art surfaced: https://imageshack.com/user/themillenniumfalcon I found it through http://www.starwars7news.com/2014/10/star-wars-episode-7-concept-art-leaked.html

I certainly hope that you are referring to me. I like being an E-thug with the power to ban people.

UPDATE: The hacker has been caught: He made off with $37.63 and 9000 bonus points valid only on a treadmill from Sears. While he was at it he really pissed off Mr Rooney by changing his 9 absences to only 2.

I don't know if I'm right or not, but I think that when you ordered a set on 3x VIP point day from LEGO Shop at Home, you got the holiday promo with it.
