Another minifigure box like the recent one at Target has been discovered with four more minifigures including an exclusive Lightning Lad and a new City diver. Source

Holy inconsequential character batman!!!

I think I can show you what really make fingers hurt...happy buillding, technic is endless fun.

Well, I did it... Cut the seals and opened one to build! The box had a couple punctures, but really to me it was a set I was never not going to build. And to satisfy the curious...

If they make a Tilt-A-Whirl, they're obligated to finally create a vomit brick.

So we've obviously had space and town police stations. Now City has given us Forest and Swamp Police Stations. What's next? The Outback with wily dingos and kangaroos to rob the locals? Maybe a Police Station for the Arctic theme because we all know how much trouble the polar bears cause. These are getting ridiculous. All the while the town doesn't have proper bank, post office, or gas station.

Who?

Anybody take notice of how much a Slave I looks like a right angle grinder?

Luckily no! I had about $350 in VIP and $400 from gift cards from the holidays :-) Add in all the freebies to be sold and reward sites for the purchases and it reduces the burn by a good amount.

Just saw a UG auction end at $102 on eBay. Hopefully these things start creeping up now.

Lots of Love?

Or perhaps we could spell stuff out like a civilized society.

At least his mustache has filled in a bit. In CW, it's kinda sort a thin porn 'stache.

Finally!! ...I'll be able to give my grandfather his own accurate minifigure...less the sock suspenders.

Belongs to a friends daughter doing a science project on solar power. Bought the solar kit to use and we are going to build different solar powered vehicles (big/small wheels, tracked) to see the impact on the amount of power produced. Who says lego isn't educational? :)

I spy an orange foot. :lol:

We have recently seen examples of items being in the catalog, but already gone including the spring catalog with the SSD. Also are you really from Antarctica? If so, is Lego's current Arctic theme a hot seller there? If so, is that dangerous?

My tru had the elsa castle out yesterday. They said they only got 6 in and I got the last one. Was going to qfll but it looks like they are only selling for $65 shipped on ebay and my local craiglist has them at $60. After taxes my cost being $45 just doesnt seem like much profit margin there. My 5 year old daughter already found it and is offering her unopened Olivia house that she got for Christmas. That might be my best offer.

In stock at Amazon.it !

Here is the exclusive for May the 4th 2015. Source

Don't get too exited about the "flower thingies". I am afraid these will be flooding the market very soon.

Welcome me to the Amazon club. Opened my seller account yesterday and posted a few items - so now I can say I've been selling on Amzn since 2014 I set my prices at the low end, just 'cause I'm eager to get my first sales... I understand the fee structure, payments, etc, in theory, but want to see how it really works in practice. Got my first 2 sales today, and yowzah ... I am learning about fees (and shipping)! Anyway, wish me luck... and if anyone wants to share their experience with a noob, send me a PM... I'd be glad to hear anything you have to say.

23x15x4 same as the PR and 2 to a sealed case.

Just an FYI.. I got some from the first batch TRU offered in early Sept. but only sold 1 between that time and Black Friday. I had them on AZ and eBay for very little profit just to try to get some attention but no luck. Worked out really well in the end, but not sure there is much of a market for these that early in the year.

Welp......someone here has to be modest about their spending.

LOL

They could also have 5 of the silver chrome ones (TC-14), and just don't know any better - just ask for a photo.

Alas you are right. I do wish I could walk into a Kroger and take a picture of a tumbler now and post it. Perhaps I can ask my local manager if I can bring one in put it on the shelf with a fake tag and take a photo. That would turn exclusive on its head.

At least it comes with a nice box and booklet.

The opportunity to buy a mass quantity of this set without going through hoops might never happen again...or might happen tomorrow. I'm curious to see how access to this set will compare to other exclusives considering the recent past.

Ahhhh, the little bowls look oh so familiar.

I want a city zoo with about 10 different sets for areas/exhibits Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

With all these City swamp sets, where's the fishing lure & bait store? :search:

I'm actually a little worried about that after the thrashing of Wisconsin. I would of never guessed that. I'm driving down to FL to watch with a huge Baylor fan whose dad has been on a NFL coaching staff his whole life. He already gave me crap about TCU crushing Ole Miss seeing that was our only loss. My UPS driver is also a huge OSU fan so got a lot riding on this one for bragging rights LOL. We are not that good or dominate like 2-3 years ago so I really thing it will be a closer game than most are expecting. I have a bad feeling and whenever I do its usually not good for us.

Well, I'm a Buckeye, and I will be shocked if we don't get our arses kicked. I still can't believe we're contending for a national championship with the 3rd string quarterback starting. I'll still be watching...

I'm on book 2 of my 41999 Brickpicker build review for this set. It's pretty cool so far and finding it more interesting than the Tumbler built last week.

PS All those traveling for Slave I be safe!

Oh please, if the Star Wars writers were just going to make a character up they could have at least named it Admiral RedGhost.

Pseudoty going nuts on New Years Eve! Slow down man!

Can you imagine the black hole we get into when all this retirements are done and come to a hold for a while? It is like when you finish watching the full 6 seasons of "the Soprano's" in three weeks time. After that I did not know what to do with my life anymore.

Starting my New Years project a little early. I was looking at the instructions to see what bags to pull the figs from and was like ugh. As you can see in the pic they are printed on dark grey paper and this will make differentiating the colors a task at night with my old eyes and poor lighting.

Welcome to Brickpicker! I'm a new guy around here as well, but for the most part everyone seems friendly, with a genuine desire to help one another out. Can't give a lot of advice other than what's been given already. I would have to say though, with the background and budget you've described, in all honesty the F5 key can be a good friend; it has for me. It's always nice to luck onto a few great buys that are guaranteed to be a good return on your investment right as they're going EOL. Best of luck to you!

Not nearly as much as the Tumbler due to it being after Christmas. However, if they limit these to in store like they did with the Tumbler and go out of stock online than yes, it's a great idea to grab some of these right now and do some flipping if supplies become limited. I'm just not sure if the Slave has the same fanbase as the Tumbler. Could be wrong though. I know I would rather have Slave than Tumbler as I'm more of a Star Wars fan than Batman.

People need to learn from others' mistakes and only use IPR (Immediate Payment Required) on eBay

^^ CC, same here... 5 total, but likely to build one. All are sealed for the long-haul- can't wait to see this sets progress as scarcity sets in and the new movies roll out. _ _ _ _ _ Edit: ... though I have to wonder about the science behind a "super star destroyer". I need to brush up on some Hawkins, but aren't stars basically just massive, flaming balls of hydrogen fuel? How would you "destroy one", and... If you were in the midst of an inter-galactic war, what would be the benefit of doing so? SSD Crewman: "Sir, we are being attacked by an enormous fleet of X-wings and other Republic gunships. Need your orders, sir". SSD Captain: Never mind them. See that star over there? Let's blow it up. SSD Crewman: "Sir, our vessel has taken over 4,000 direct hits in the last twenty seconds. I advise we use our guns to fight these guys instead". SSD Captain: YOUR INSOLENCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. SSD Crewman: Sir, that star hasn't fired anything at all at us. The way I see it- and I may be alone here- is that it's just a star, and is not posing a direct threat to our mission or campaign. Those X-wings, on the other hand, have now killed over 11,000 crewman and Stormtroopers since we started this discussion. They may be faceless people to you, sir, but seven of those Stormtroopers (Randy, Hal, Alice, Tom, Angela, Stephen and Bob) are part of our Thursday-night Baccarat club. They are people, sir. Tom's kid plays soccer with yours, Sir, and I just feel that... AAAAND KABLOOOOIE. With the cost, labor, time, effort, and engineering prowess needed to design a ship that can blow up a star, imagine if that had all been put into a ship that blew up OTHER ships, instead of stars. I think the Empire's engineer that built this one is the same guy who built the Death Star, and decided it would be a great idea to have a couple completely open, unexposed shafts leading to the very heart of the entire contraption- where an accurately-placed rock from a sling-shot would destroy the entire thing.

So I've just seen this one comment on amazon.com where the guy gave 1 star (or zero...) because he really doesn't like what LEGO did there... He writes: " Disappointing what can I say the best part of this set is the minifigures but the vehicles are lacking in detail the minifigures do not fit inside the vehicles the doors do not open regardless I made a better lego version if you are interested send me a note and I will provide you with a link." I made a better lego version if you are interested send me a note and I will provide you with a link I made a better lego version better lego version then he posted that link in the following comments: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-DeLorean-DMC-BTTF-Back-to-the-Future-custom-9468-9464-76004-21103-10229-Fig-/121364891685?ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=9Ukx8B%252FrQMW7SVZsYtALg9XJCMY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc I don't wanna say that his DeLorean custom made version doesn't come with a certain charme... but I wouldn't go as far as to call it "better" ***** just in case the link vanishes I'll provide you with some pictures ^.^
