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 !

I built the DDC because yesterday someone in the DD thread wanted to know if it floats. Well it does float but not upright like in the movie, see pics. Note: no Minifigs were hurt during this test. That being said deffinetly best build of 2015 so far. You get a lot for your money including the cop car which was a nice mini build, also not pictured is unikitty she was sold on eBay to cover the cost of the set. Now back to the Slave1

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

Because I only sold 1 on ebay out of my 100+ and listed on CL but no one seems to want to buy them... I actually got them @ 20% plus the redcard 5% though. Maybe I should hold on them for a little while and see... Sent from my SM-N915T using Brickpicker mobile app

She's a real 'butterhood'. :whistle:

Hard to Find is simply one of the "Exclusive" type tags Lego puts on a set with limited availability. You're not going to walk into a supermarket and find a Tumbler on the shelf.

At least it comes with a nice box and booklet.

Great going Greg. I'm about 5 steps past this picture from book 2 (the pic doesn't show the infrared and main power PFs added).

My theory is that they put out these discounts on retired

Ahhhh, the little bowls look oh so familiar.

Coming soon in 2016 for May the 4th, the "Imperial Gunner who almost fired at the start of A New Hope", followed by "Pig-face's Boyfriend" in 2017.

Me and the boy are doing the same - headed to pick one up ourselves. I can't wait to build it.

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...

What do we have to do to get a Darth Plagueis minifig?

This is turning into a mod thread .. Lol

Maybe he'll be getting an expanded role in Rebels? Gods forbid we get someone cool like oh, I dunno...the Cantina Bartender or Obi Wan's spirit ghost.

I needed a handyman to help restore my uptown Brownstone. Now I have a garage & two bedrooms full of modulars and Chima Worriz Fire Bike poly bags. Advice? Run. While there is still time.

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!

I found these in two walmarts....40 each....

Bored, so posting this minutia detail. Saw the Green Lantern set in the store tonight, and was surprised how thin the box was. Like the same front dimension as the usual $20 set box size, but much thinner. Going to be great to store 8 of those in the same space you can store 5 Arctic Batman's, etc. That is all.

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.

Here is a Brickset review for 60073 Service Truck (it has a port-a-potty!) and a list of more City sets! ....Holy crap, just how much are they releasing this year?! Good grief, talk about going for broke. 60077 - Astronaut Starter Set 60078 - Landing Craft 60079 - Shuttle Transport 60080 - Space Station 60090 - Scuba Scooter $6.99 60091 - Deep Sea Research Starter Set $9.99 60092 - Deep Sea Submarine $39.99 60093 - Sea Helicopter $49.99 60095 - Deep Sea Research Vessel 60097 - Special Edition? 60098 - Metro MDP 60099 - Advent Calendar 2015 $29.99

It was actually from a Swiss shop, but guess that doesn't help much either

I think you might be right but I cashed most of mine out at a 60% profit because those funds are better used in other Lego endeavors (although another 40% profit from 2014-2015 is excellent)

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.

Wow I really love this new set... can't wait to get my hands on it!

I should know, I contributed to that madness! Mwahahaha! Alright, BEASTIE BOYS! Well, here's my rebuttal!
