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.

TRU on 10% Thursdays

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"

Not for buy it now items. I think that was the case at one point.

I think people have got AA all wrong. The appeal isn't as a Batman set, it's as the only Lego psychiatric hospital on the market, and only the second ever produced. If your Lego town doesn't have an AA, where will your troubled minifigs go for treatment? This is why I foresee big returns for AA, though I still think it should come with Mr. Freeze...

Star Wars Celebration VII is going to be insane.

Cleared out 2 sets of Series 2 Mixels at TRU. 10% off + 12% off gift card and picked up a free Pizza Shop & free Pumpkin Head.

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.

At least they broke up the monotony of "Hey guys I finally got a HH", "Hey guys, I'm wearing out F5", "Hey guys, should I buy this or TH", etc.....

in stock at WM.. go go go

These are not prior Tumbler purchases you are looking for...

Just making sure you got what he was saying Set # = 10224 Retirement Date = 102214 (add the 1 in) Is it code? Joke

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.

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

I might take a look at the numbers and see what the end of Sep results would have looked like.

R = Ci

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.

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.

Depends on the thought process of the seller. If he mistakenly thinks that it costs him nothing to hold it for any duration, then at some point, he(or a group of such individuals) will be the only supply on the market

GE looks better than FB -- gotta be worth something.

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

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

FWIW: I called Lego today to ask wether they could add the promo set to my Bo from 6 oct. Of course the could not :-( !!AND she would not recommend to cancel my order because the Set is done and i would not be able to buy the Set again! Lets hope they ship my HH soon...

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

9515 Star Wars Malevolence: $200 + shipping

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.
