  3. Definitely with you there...only way I can keep track of everything is marking it down immediately when purchased and checking it off when received:

  4. Maybe you should be more careful about what you post then, as new members like MikeF can't tell if you're being serious. At least make it more obvious you're joking.

  5. Sigh. Some people take this stuff way too seriously. The Chinese diesel/solar hybrid powertrain R2, on the other hand, is already available at Lowe's in the home maintenance section (it has a snowblower attachment).

  6. I think it will be solar since Chinese investors bought up all of our good solar tech.. D'oh! I can see this being true. Same thing happened with Architecture Studio, the mgr at my Lego store (also Cali) told me about the issues and upcoming remake of that set long before the news broke here. I posted that info earlier this year but I doubt anyone believed it at the time.

  7. I know what you mean, but no - on the contrary. It's one of the things you can only really understand it when you actually are in that situation (having kids here). Kids are a pain, are expensive, mess with your sleep, your time and at some point even with the most sacred of all: your Lego; but they are totally worth it.

  10. 1) I hate painting, but I'm too fussy to let anyone else do it. 2) I hate patching the gazillion dents and scratches kids make on the walls before painting. 3) What's wrong with people .. why can't they leave feedback? 4) TRU Lego deals are total garbage right now.

  14. Must be amazon eh? Ebay I'm sitting on $43.95 and haven't sold one yet. But I agree, I'm not lowering. Think the rocket is taking off soon! Good news is I finally got a couple of Mixel sales. One Series 1 set $119.95. 1 two-pack of Zorch and Vulk $19.95. Hopefully they get moving again. Seems like a lot of people found these on shelves and have been keeping prices low (at least on ebay).

  15. 16 set city lot for $585 shipped. Mostly small to medium sets. All new and sealed. If you are looking to move volume and clean up some inventory selling in lots is the way to go.

  18. Got up early with the kids...groggily checking the computer as the coffee was brewing, trying to find a different auction I had previously seen. Saw this baby and clicked Buy: http://www.ebay.com/itm/291310950709 Sealed 3450 Statue of Liberty for $1050! Later received legit emails and pictures. Thanks for waking me up kids!

  19. Let the other people panic. The madness has just begun. It will blow you away at how fast sellers start dropping like flies over the next few days. Should be an easy $75-$80 to those patient enough, which even if sourced at MSRP, is a $20-$25/unit profit at FBA.

  21. I don't see why they would be making any sudden corrections after the set has been on shelves for years. I don't doubt that it will be back, to some extent, but I think this manager is just flapping his gums here.

  24. I had a best offer of $15 for a 21113 (The Cave) this morning... they're going for close to $40 and MSRP is $19.99. Low balling buyers on eBay are not my charity of choice.

  25. In last 12 hours sold two 3 set lots of Star Wars lego for $120 each including AT-TE, Spider droid, and corporate alliance tank. the fact that AT-TE just went EOL at shop at home might be helping. paid 68 on clearance at target. this is the same as star wars super pack 66473 which sells for $20-30 more. made about $20 on each lot and got my capital back so I can buy a couple more MF 7965s. All SW sets i have up on ebay have multiple watchers, lots of views. other themes - not so much - THANK YOU EPISODE VII trailer. getting rid of clone wars junk.

  27. I emailed a seller on craigslist for a inexpensive set that unopened and wanted to meet up with them and they said they would use paypal and that raised a flag so I asked why so low and why can't we meet and whoever that person was said that they received emails from most people wanting it shipped and who wants to meet in person with all the things that happen with people getting held up at gunpoint ect. I know that there have been stories with craigslist but meeting in a public place or with a group of friends is helpful and safe and emailed them that. Well now this scammer is trying to defend him/her self and said that they belong to brickpicker and watch the forums and sees what they say also said know some robin hood person? and also sees the same people emailing him. Well right there I say forget it and try to move and figured I rather pass on this. They emailed me one final time saying that people will use paypal no matter what and it is secure and also that because the prices are so low if her sells a couple of items a week he makes 600 or so plus bragging about having different ads up in different states besides the two people write about here. So I am going to be more careful about who I buy from on craigslist and realize that craigslist warns about shipping,escrow and I know better and hope no one gets taken at all. Had to delete my email so the moron doesn't write me again but now when I look on craigslist to see prices that are too good to be true I just pass.simple Anyway I know this is long but we are all collectors here and know our stuff and if not we have people looking out for us. So the way I figured is that this person watches what we write,knows the same names emailing them so probably why they dont reply back and 600 a week is not that much for some low life scammer, but still enough to piss me off being a collector.

  29. On some items, when the price is well above MSRP, Amazon doesn't give anyone the buy box. Looks like Galorco is finally out of stock.

  30. Olivia's House is officially sold out at LEGO Shop at Home. Could it be that this set has finally ridden off into the sunset? If so, that was a quiet departure which could ultimately be a good thing. Or......it could be back pretty soon. Not really sure these days.

  31. I will notify you when I see it. TRU.ca has hidden/phantom links to the HH. I have a friend who works there and he sends me links to it before it goes live. It also shows up on amazon.ca once in awhile. I have seen the GE pop up more but I disregard it because it's not something i care to stockpile more. I am sure there are BPers cleaning that out. There is the $15 off gift card that you could use next week with TRU, if you bought the simpsons house the last few days with the 5% rebate from paypal, you can take it back to the store next week and knock off another $15. This is assuming you spent $100 on something else yesterday. So basically 5% paypal cash back plus $15 off simpsons house. There are more tricks to knock that house down to $160 but i rather be quiet about it. How else do some people flip this for $200 and profit from it. A few of my friends are flipping it for $20 profits nonstop in the province of BC.

  34. Sorry it took so long but I had a chance to open up some of the extras I bought a couple weeks ago and remembered to write down the name of each character onto its pamphlet so I could post their online unlock code here for anyone who wants them. I only have seven out of the sixteen unfortunately but better than nothing I guess. Hun Warrior: PMH - 835 - C4V - PDN Video Game Guy: R47 - EXJ - QHV - PDM Space Miner: BSK - HUT - VV3 - KS6 Lifeguard: RCK - THB - 9WX - BAK Dino Tracker: Y5H - 5VW - EP8 - JNS Pizza Delivery Guy: SMK - TPK - MA3 - 7SF Rock Star: EJA - AFW - VK8 - FXH I'll add these to the complete list thread for quick access later to keep track and make things easier. They should work and I doubt Lego would change these to something else down the road for some reason.

  40. It was love at first sight. Bad pun aside, sadly I am not married although I did have a nice fling with one. Free spirit lovely as the ocean breeze matching the color of her eye, hair fair like the leaves in Autumn, ....and an amazing arse. Never became serious about any sort of relationship but it's alright. She seemed to have found her true mate down the road, had a son, and we are still friends. I must say the boy is a real tinkerer and smart but hardly talks. Of course he plays with Lego which means that's all I end up doing when visiting. Haha. Oh and by the way the plural of Cyclops is Cyclopes. Just letting you know. Anyway, there really haven't been many problems political or otherwise between Orcs and Cyclopes. Sure some problems and a few unavoidable tragedies in the past but it's all good now. Actually most of the strife usually has and continues to be caused by Ogres especially the 'double headers' mainly because they are just so, well, incredibly stupid.... bless their heart. Two heads better than one? Not in this case. Also Goblins are some of the nastiest pickpockets you will ever meet but they make good cheap labor (from all the community service mostly).

  43. But crying at the low U.S. prices still feels good ^.^ "What you bought XYZ for retail price at 99,99$??? I found it at target for 79,99$!" - "You're kidding right? Found some for 59,99$ at walmart clearance!" - "Haha, guess I'm lucky, got 10 for 30$ at a garage sale" - "I found 100 MINT boxes under the brooklyn bridge and some dudes helped me carry them and bought me free milk shakes and a diamond-studded watch and 10 georgeous ladies gave a me a foodmassage afterwards, did I mention that it was with happy ending?" At the same time European are like "Yeah found XYZ (note: the same set!) for 148,99
