Just bought these from a lady for 430$, all complete with box, instructions and spare parts. I told her, she could get much more for them, but she just wanted to get rid of them...

He showered prior to shopping.

I will be starting my Crusade to start buying Ewok Village in a week or so, so if you don't have any yet please don't wait forever. Ed

Wow. Even LEGO is guilty of double posting.

Dark blue is called earth blue by Lego. There are several "earth" colors, and they all correspond to "dark" in common names. Here's a good reference on color names across BO/BL/Lego/Peeron: http://www.brickowl.com/colors

Well asking for proof that I am a seller and telling them their due diligence was a joke must have stuck a nerve. I got this today, seems a little excessive. think i will forward each one to the individual I was emailing before.

I got you covered

The set in the front we already know and may already be able to purchase however if you glance towards the back of the display, you can spot something new with a "Jaws" character and shark to match. A bottom for a wicked base looms overhead.

Found this on the official Doctor Who tumblr and had to share.

It's their "Fat Elvis" period. :lol:

Probably the same scammer messing with you.

TLG can't win. People say they would pay more for printed parts, then complain that the new avenger carrier is too expensive.

well, what can i say ... i just finished watching this movie ... yup, thats right ... it took me this long ... well, i actually enjoyed it ... probably because Lego is a part of my life right now ... if i wasnt into investing at the moment i wouldnt have enjoyed it as much ... thumbs up ... now i can relate to all the sets out there ...

What is this? Stuffing stormtroopers into it like a clown car?

So their new business model is to cause panic sending real customers scrambling to pay inflated secondary market prices, then "flooding" the market leaving customers who trusted their word holding the bag? My BS detector is flashing.

I humbly accept these counter-points! I can accept Batman fighting an intelligent ape, but if he is ever reduced to fist-fighting a sloth or small-mouth bass, I am done with him completely. And even though Batman isn't "retiring" anytime soon- Brett Michaels should. How many more times should we all have to hear "every rose has its thorn"?

Ship using PayPal shipping via Canada Post - there is a modest discount still. You can also join the Canada Post Venture One programme free of charge, for the same discounts + it will allow you to use features & add-ons (like signature verifications) that aren't always available on some of the options presented through PayPal (like shipping item values over $1000.oo). The VIP programme will also give you access to receive free materials delivered right to your door - labels, fragile stickers, air-mail/express post stickers etc. every once & awhile you can get free packing slip pouches & envelopes too but these are kinda random. If you are shipping items that you want to put significant insurance on, use only new (1st-use) boxes & not used grocery store castaways. It will help expedite the claim if you need it for "damaged in transit" - you'll need to tell the investigator that you followed the CP shipping guide on points like shipped in a new shipping box, 200lb crush weight, item packaged with 4 inches of padding all around the sides and top/bottom, no other marking or barcodes were on the box. - they can & will deny a claim for damaged in shipping if the box was not a shipping class box or was previously used (CP recognises 1st-use only as valid shipping materials - even though they will accept a taped up cereal box at the counter!) order your materials in bulk from places like U-line or Staples Industrial (not the big red store). check your local town for small supply companies that buy in bulk from these place as well if you don't want to maintain an inventory of boxes yourself or haven't the space. Here in Ottawa there are several small box companies - I like Prichards Packaging - they warehouse pretty much everything you need & ship materials from Toronto every Thursday. Storage Locker rental lots often have box sales as well when they get overstocked. Also check out Party/Wedding/supply stores - they often have may shipping supply options too.

Looks like this will be hanging around awhile longer.

03R5 from amazon ordered this week. bricks so fresh they were still warm.

Buy the set from Lego when they give away promos with certain purchases. That's one of the best ways to get some sort of discount on exclusive Lego sets.

Per Eurobricks review: The Inner bags are many in number, you get a total of 17 normal bags. You get one #1 bag, two #2 bags, two #3 bags, one #4 bag, two #5 bags, three #6 bags, three #7 bags, two #8 bags, and one #9 bag. Additionally you get a bag with other parts for the ship including the massive fans. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=92762 You also have large loose hull pieces in there so that could be what you are hearing. If you have two weigh them both and see if they match up.

i talked my way out of a ban... haven't bought many legos from LEGO Shop at Home since.

I'm not arguing with them about anything. I was accused of being involved with "various online auction sites" as I said before I want to know where else I should be involved selling as far as I know eBay is the only place. They claim to have tied me to more. I simply asked for the information they used to ban me, for all I know they could have found my one item I have on the BP sell site. The more information they will give the easier it will be to work around. As a result I received 16 emails telling me they don't sell to resellers. Seems very unprofessional. There has to be something that sets them off, this particular ban was all for sale items mostly magnets and movie sets. Also the address, and name is not the ban method because two accounts that got shut down had different addresses, but the third one has the same address and name as the first banned account. The ip may be the only thing I am going to try in the future behind a IP changer to see what happens. Say what you want against me, but this has drove everyone crazy the entire year I have been reading the forums and I just want to know all the ways around it I can.

Why argue with Lego about being a reseller when you are? I don't get that. It's not going to work anyway (no one here has gotten *out* of a ban that I know of). I don't like the policy either, but if Lego decides to ban me for being a reseller - even though I've got 8 Lego-loving children so as good of an excuse as anyone for why I buy multiples of any set, I'll take it like a man. There's very little in this world worth lying about, neither Lego nor money make the list.

Well, their experiment failed. Many regular consumers failed to get the product online and had no access to a LEGO store and many resellers took advantage of this shortage and sold their Tumblers for a profit and restocked after the holidays. As for a new Falcon, bring it on. It will be a different version, with different characters and a whole new investment opportunity.

Got any? I can't shoot an autocannon without hitting one. Drek, more like five. Ha.

Not just 20%, either. In its first year of release I wouldn't bite at less than 35%+ off.

If it was less than $200 we would all be complaining its too small.

Copy and edited an oscar acceptance speech on wiki =) Oh man. Oh man. I

Stopped by my local friendly thrift store and got this for five bucks! A couple of opened bags the rest are sealed and ithad the instructions and stickers. I was shocked when I saw it. This is my first maersk train.

First, Gorilla Grodd is a super-intelligent ape (not a monkey, there is a difference) Second, he was/is legitimate Justice League villain (just watch JLU cartoons) Lastly, if you ever watched Batman Beyond, you have already seen Batman / Bruce Wayne vs blood pressure / heart conditions :D

They do track IP. Let us just say , I had an experience.

Reboot, sequel, prequel, remake, comic, tv show, book, video game, board game. That's 99% of hollywood anymore. It sure has saved me a lot of money though. I have a dvd/bd collection of over 600 movies and probably only 5 from the last 10 years.

I love Schumer. Garfunkel and Oats (Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci) are great too. This ghostbusters lineup looks horrible. I imagine it will be quickly forgotten like other recent reboots.

I got 4 of these and i can buy about 5 more at

Satanists, lol. Tolkien- who wrote LOTR- was a die-hard Christian, and biblical themes (agree with them are not) are scattered throughout his stories. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were part of the same writing circle (The Inklings), and both based what they were doing on Christian themes (C.S. Lewis much more blatantly). Having built a ToO, and placed a Lego Smaug on top, I can tell you the effect is outstanding. This set is big, highly-detailed, and draws upon a literally work that is older than the majority of members of this forum (pre-WW II). Your two hundred dollars may be better spent adding 39 dollars and buying a Tower Bridge. Mine has been spent purchasing both. You will never see a Tower of Orthanc produced from TLG again, ever. What you will see, however, is future fans of Lord of the Rings- both the books and the movies- coupled with new-found Lego fans- who stumble upon this extraordinary piece and deem a several thousand investment worthy of what Tolkien's incredible work will mean to them. Ignorance of what this set represents is holding back many investors.

$50. If anyone ever asks why I keep buying bulk lots... Well if they have to ask they'll never know.

I agree that $50 is a little high for the buy-in price. These were available for around $40 and cheaper throughout the year. All the Rancor Pits I bought were purchased at $40 or lower.

They don't want to go for the investor's jugular because LEGO enjoys having the LEGO secondary market strong and the values high. One affects the other, regardless of the bans. As I stated to another member recently, if LEGO destroys the secondary market, the perceived value of new sets will suffer greatly. The secondary market LEGO prices are the main reason LEGO can charge(and get it) $400.00 for a box of ABS plastic and Mega Bloks and Kreo-O cannot. The rise of LEGO to #1 stature in the world of toy making and profits walked hand in hand with eBay and the explosion of secondary market sales. As eBay became more popular, LEGO followed suit. Don't let anyone tell you different. Sure, there was a change to a more adult oriented style of set(UCS...Modular...Advanced Models), but did anyone ever really think why LEGO went that route? LEGO likes to ban certain VIP members because they want to make a point of not being excessive and to stop competing with them with currently available sets. As for a new Falcon, I guess the rumor is of a large Falcon playset that will replace the 10188. Even if it's a new 10179, could you blame LEGO for redoing the set? People have had plenty of time to make a profit from that set. Time for another generation of resellers to take advantage of a new version.

I use the bubble wrap envelopes for polys as well... You'll get some cashiers at Canada Post who don't want to let it go through though so be careful. It's $12 to send a bubble mailer as a parcel. I've shipped quite a few larger items now and this is what I do... I keep all the boxes, paper, bubbles and air packets from my purchases, some day I'll run out but it's served me well so far. If you're trying to source boxes, try Indigo or TRU. They just recycle them anyways. I've bought giant boxes of bubble wrap from UHaul as well for pretty cheap. For a couple overseas sales where I was shipping about 12kg (well, 4 x 2.93kg) of heavy sets in a lot, I've purchased really strong boxes from UHaul as well. For packing, first make sure the box isn't a piece of garbage. Heavy sets need good boxes. I always try to ship my sets flat since most cardboard boxes are built that way for strength - some exceptions of course, be cognizant of the flute direction and you're good to go.. It also puts lets outward pressure on the set itself as it bounces around on the delivery trucks. I make sure the box is always a little larger width/length to prevent edge crush. Height doesn't matter as much if you have a good box! I wrap the set in brown paper or foam paper (I have a box full of 4' x 3' sheets I had left from a home reno). I then fill the voids with packing paper or air packets. Don't fill them too tight, just enough so the box doesn't jiggle. If the box is too tall, throw some paper, bubbles or air packets on top. If it's a box I'm reusing and worried about the side strength, I'll often sacrifice another box to double up the cardboard around the outside edge to get double the strength. Don't be cheap on the tape to seal it up. Tape is cheap. I tend to over pack even the smallest sets... not worth the risk. It's not magic, just don't do what TRU, Sears, and Walmart often do (slap a label on the box, or put it into a box three times the size with 2 air packets) and you're good to go.

Bought the POTC London Escape and the City Red Cargo Train!!
