  1. OK since you have it all figured out then I suggest you go and start your own lego how to do it website. You have been skating on thin ice here the past few days and we have been pretty lenient with you but it stops now or you will no longer be a member here. If you want to be a part of this community knock off the trolling. If you don't want to be a part of it I can help you leave. The decision is yours.

  3. I just spoke to LEGO CS and they just agreed for me to return mine after 6 months! But, I pay the postage. I no longer have faith in this set and can't stand the Simpsons anyway. I may revisit in a few years when EOL is expected as I bought way too early. For the sake of

  4. I think we need to summarize the last 5 or 6 pages. Fallingwater is a great set. So are most Architecture sets. They have no minifigures. Patience is needed. People are not making money flipping the a $100 set for $130. Real resellers flip Elsa's Shiny Shack or whatever it's called.

  6. It's not just Lego I take to the extreme, I am also an avid fan of Christmas lights, and so I thought I'd share my Christmas light display with all of you: Anyone else taking it to the extreme with Christmas decorating? Thanks, Jim

  8. *head asplode* I don't even care if it's canon or not, this would be awesome. A power functions train in some sort of a space city setup would be awesome. While we're at it, how about a Star Wars modular. :-)

  11. Funny, I actually contacted a distant relative who lives in London just to catch up and had mentioned this set. Her husband is from Denmark and so I asked if he was flying through Billund anytime soon. He wasn't, but his dad was coming to visit them the next day and flying through Billund. I will be receiving 3 of these. No word if he actually could have bought more, but I'll take it!

  14. I'm done trying to catch this falling knife on ebay. I'll let the bottom feeders fight out sub-$10 profits and clear their inventories before the launch date. I'll leave my high-priced CL ad up just in case somebody needs one Dec 23rd. My hope is that they sell out early next year.

  15. I'm so anti pills and doctors and all that crap. I could care less is something is fda approved.... Do people reslly believe what they say is legit? Pills are horrible for u. I'm even weird about taking advil. All these big pharmacy companies do a risk reward estimate on possible risks. If they can make a billion dollars of of a pill regardless if it is safe or it it's coming to market one way or another. So what if they kill a few people.... They will pay out a few million to the families and still be profitable. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app

  16. Yeah, I've had to do it once or twice in the past, and I believe eBay has always taken action, but by the time they get around to it, the offending auction is already over or the damage was already done.

  17. Remember back in the dark ages when companies could not advertise prescription meds? It would be sooo nice to go back to that. The commercials lately basically tell you exactly what to say to your doctor to insure you get x Rx.

  19. LEGO, not a retailer or I would of posted it. Not very happy with the set compared to the first one. Looked over it some more and its really basic.

  20. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next few days. I am sticking around 250.00 and if it goes it goes ( and I bet it does), but If not then I have a couple NIB after the holidays and a lot less competition at that point.

  21. I honestly have no idea about the whole ebay thing and what will appear more likely than others, and so forth. Really don't put much thought in it, at least yet, as this is a side thing for me...and my wife wants me to clear some room. Just put up another one at $249.95, shocked if it sells, but who knows. Don't have an ebay store, either, just my lone self selling things that collect dust.

  22. Here is the ebay shipping thread http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/11566-ebaycom-shipping-questions-and-answers/ To answer your question, you click "Offer additional service" under the primary shipping service you offer. It should bring up an additional line item that you can fill out.

  33. The people who buy this type of set are a different type of collector than your "typical" Lego collector. I personally know three people that display architecture sets in their respective offices and they have two things in common: Each person only owns Architecture sets and each person has lots of disposable income.

  34. Just chill and do a search on eBay for items sold. Scroll down a bit and you'll find many that just sold over the past few days at RRP or less.

  36. I have lost 31lbs in the last 12-14 months by simply doing three things....1) no more 4th meal 2) decreasing proportion sizes 3) hitting the weights. I am now lighter and looking way better than back in college! (and that was a long time ago) My wife and I have been working hard at this and it has done nothing but incredible things for our relationship! Just gaining more self confidence will make a world of difference!

  39. I see in the simpsons theme the same potential as square sponge bob. While it'll be ok in the US, I would pass the whole theme as an investment in europe. And I also think that this set already is hoarded by tons of people who usually do not invest in legos (and made an exception for this set).

  41. So I guess we should be expecting a lot of these "what should I do with the mistake I order I received but didn't pay for" questions popping up. About 6 years ago I received two orders from S@H during this time that were just dropped off at my house by mistake by the delivery company. I immediately called S@H on both occasions, and even delivered one of them for them since it was close to Christmas. Too bad this site didn't exist back then because I could've asked everyone else what the right thing to do was and if a couple people said "keep the stuff, not your fault, too bad for them" I could have kept the stuff and not had to feel bad about it.

  43. Open a SNAD case - that gets sellers attention faster than anything else, as it causes a defect and you can escalate to get eBay involved. It doesn't even matter if you don't want to send it back - you can ask for anything reasonable (or even not reasonable but I know that's not the case here) -- you can ask for a partial refund in the amount it will cost you to get the missing pieces on BL, for example. Worst case scenario, eBay will tell you you have to return for refund, but you don't have to do that, you can just keep the set. If you don't want to go through the hassle at all, then a negative feedback is warranted, IMO, because of the lack of communication/resolution from the seller. If a seller screws up but fixes it, I either leave positive or no feedback.

  44. If you're in the US, 1 set of nine fits in the USPS flat rate bubble mailer easily. Plenty of protection and only $5ish, and no shipping supplies to buy. If you're keen on having a protective box, there's are chipboard boxes called 'Scotty Stuffers' that are designed to be the largest possible box you can fit in a flat rate bubble mailer.
