One of the other LEGO sites had this feature for a while, but I got a ton of emails and PMs about whether Brickpicker would have something like this. It was hard to say for a while but after 7+ weeks of asking, discussing, etc. I finally was given access to this information as well and created a page to search for inventory in all the local Target locations near you. So a few notable features: You can either obtain the Target DPCI number from the Target Product detail pages, or use the DPCI search link that see available on the page. Try to be as specific as possible with your search phrases Map/Geolocation/Pins - Easily see the color coded pins that surround your current location. This will help you identify what direction to go in. "Go towards the Green" Search popular and recent searches. Click the active link on the DPCI number and it will automatically fill the search box See store details/hours/maps Ok, so check it out, let me know your thoughts. I will keep an eye out in my email for any bugs/errors. Hopefully this helps you find what you need. I hope you like it!!! http://www.brickpicker.com/target-inventory

Here is newbiecollect's prize from the contenst of a Red Five T Shirt and Microfighter X Wing ready to roll. The t shirt looks actually better in person than on the website. Congratulations again!

You've created a very cool feature and one hell of a new acronym in the process ( Target Inventory Tracker)

The real 60051/52 train question for me--at this price, is it worth it? There's always a new iteration of the train which limits the growth of the old one. Even if it has a short life (and that's a big if), there's a new cargo train coming. Again, those with $99 buy in are in good shape, but I'd have to pay close to retail price and there's better upside to something more collectible and exclusive. I wouldn't hesitate at $99, but $189 + tax... I'd rather buy another PC or ToO or Tumbler.

LOL! I don't know what to say

higher price point. Unexpected poofage

Received a "Your order has shipped" email w/ the Driller included in the shipment. So, they did have a few.

Palace Cinema is on the back of the Detective's Office box. Town Hall isn't. Pet Shop isn't. It's not going anywhere yet. Maybe at the end of this year after they announce another corner.

F5-ing is so overrated and so 2014! It is so much more fun and less stressful indeed when you already have your minimum quantity for investment and every other is extra.

So if this set really retires everywhere by say.. .May - June 2015, very cool. Less than 1 full year at retail for s great designed set from a well-liked theme.

Still wondering why I can't give you money for all these nifty features. Until that time, you have my continued thanks.

Just built my very first MOC alternate using only pieces from 31012 Family House. Wanted to try it out as a "modular" size house and this was the result What do you think? Any recommendations? Each level comes off easily as well, second floor and roof.

All sellers on ebay ought to adhere to the rule: "Package every sold item the way you would like to receive it yourself!". That's what I do. Always. No exceptions. Everything else would be unaccaptable for my personal understanding of social manners. Unfortunately, many other seller folks don't seem to have that kind of a "problem". I mean if they package their stuff so badly, not having one bad feeling about it. Makes me wonder if some day some of them will start coming out asking buyers "Do you want me to send you the item with a real crappy packaging, so you can throw it away right after receiving it totally damaged - or should I put in in a garbage can right here at my place, which would save you the postage cost?"...

IMO, a lot of investors are underestimating the Lego Movie sets as an entire class of investments. The "name of the game" in movie production now is franchise potential, and The Lego Movie already has THREE sequels slated (Batman being first). That strengthens all of these sets as long-term investments. Those films will likely be successful, leading to more films. And more AFOL's for us to provide product for. This set is great. A personal family favorite of ours, and likely many, the double-decker couch... which is so popular at B&M's that most are restricting them to "one per household". It's the kind of set current kids will look back on twenty years from now and gladly pay significantly $ to own, based on how well the set represents the movie and the nice memories they had in childhood watching it. I think savvy investors will identify this potential, but not so many that hoarding will be significant. I love the movie, the line, and the long-term investment potential.

You can also use bricklink to search what sets pieces are in, but I'm not sure if it's any easier/accurate than re-brick able. I've always used bricklink.

So I started my MS 10190 build last night, figured with this weather can't do much else. All of my orders were in and I broke down 3 Seaside Houses. I am doing this with no substitutions and 100% new with the exception of used 4X white Hoses and Used Right LBG door, those 5 parts saved me $85. So far my cost including shipping has been $360 using Lego Bricks and Pieces and BL. So I sort everything last night and start the build and of course I am missing some pieces. I used rebrickable to see what I had on hand that is how I figured to use the seaside houses since they contain 36% of the parts. First it was a tan 1x8 brick 3008 and I looked it up and saw it was in Jabbas Sail Barge and creative Tower but not opening one of those for 1 brick so I substituted 2 1X4 and it will be easy to replace so I built on. Then I started missing pieces that I knew I had on hand just couldn't recall where. There are 18 pieces used from Death Star Troopers battle pack and I know I have many of those opened to part out the figs. So when I go into rebrickable part out 10190 select an element and the sets it is in Death Star troopers does not show up. But if I do the same in reverse the parts are there. Not sure if that makes sense to you. Next I was missing Trans Clear Minifig heads 3626b that are used in the street light that I know I also have on hand, also the LBG 1x6 Arch 3455. So I will hopefully only have to make one more order. My question is there another way I should be searching for what sets an element is in? Any tips appreciated.

If you can sell anything locally to avoid Ebay, it's a $50 bonus on a $300 set, with no real headaches.

Just a heads-up from Europe and do not let me tell you "I told you so". ***Palace Cinema only available at Lego SAH*** How about in other countries?

There were other things in the earlier exchange at the beginning that made me think he was trolling. I shortened the exchange down for the forum. On my Craigslist post, I stated that if you can find the item in store or online at a lower price, just buy it from the store and don't bother negotiating. I also stated I can help people out locating some of the current stuff if they want simply buy them from the store. While this is supposed to generate side money, I want to have fun while doing it and enjoy it as more of a hobby. He was asking for a set I never had and never posted initially so I even spent a bit of time helping him out checking inventory at Walmart and target and compare prices for him between amazon and eBay in addition to an newer alternative set from this year if he doesn't want to pay above retail. After that I expected the exchange to end since I don't have what he wanted. Then he comes back and ask whether I have the 2nd set, so I was straightforward and basically knocked the price down to my lowest price I am willing to take even though I listed higher. The price I quoted was lower than retail and obviously without tax. I totally read his response of finding it in the store as more of snardy/trolling comment at that point rather than a courtesy. This is because of couple of things. He pointed out my ad but asked whether I have something that I didn't posted. He then asked me multiple times in different emails where I live when it is posted clearly where people can pick up on the same ad. So I was getting some hints on there that he wasn't really interested before he came in with the low ball offer. In hindsight, I should have responded "great. Thanks for letting me know" but given I was responding to him quite a few times already, I got upset wasting my time on such a low character. Sometimes I really want to avoid selling on Craigslist as maybe only couple percent of people that I responded to are really interested in buying around the NYC area if not for the fact that I don't want to give eBay all the commissions. In Virginia, where I used to live, I get significantly less low ball offers and much higher results. People are simply nicer and smarter and actually understand the prices that I posted are generally good prices as I typically post market price (eBay /amazon) minus the potential fees or slightly lower than Walmart/Target/Amazon.

Took your advice OrcKing and shortened the second level, made some adjustments to the balcony as well. Not sure what to do with the archway being open like that, I guess it's a new open structure look, should be fine since it doesn't really rain in my LEGO city

That employee was on the money...

I think Sea Cow has excellent potential, although there isn't a precedent for a steam punk pirate ship. Hard to guess EOL on it, though, since there is no new LEGO Movie exclusive to take its place and new LEGO Movie sets are still arriving.

Well I guess there is something to be learned from this thread. Lots of people dissing Town Hall and now it's pushing $500 on eBay. Wish I would have left more pet shops and grand emporiums out of the cart and put more Town Hall's into it.

hi guys, i

Nice really cool set. In back of my mind thinking may even boost the red 5 value I mean you can't have one and not the other on display can you lol. Either way bad guys are always cooler than the good ones so this is going be a winner

Chaos!

Does anyone else find all the designer videos painfully awkward to watch?

In other fruitcake news, they're starting to reply to my local CS ads. Well if they're so much cheaper (I have them listed at $80 or less if you want more than 1), go buy them there. With our tax, TRU's price is about $79 for a 1000 brick box if you can find one. Morons. I was a lot more polite in my reply but I didn't want to be.

The Lone Ranger boxes have a very good laxative effect but some people can

Yeah, on second thought, you're right. Set has no appeal. Very poor choice, my bad. Resellers should avoid this high risk/low profit opportunity. Nothing to see, move along.

Likelihood of another X-wing this year is 100%. But the chance of another UCS X-wing in, say, the next three years is very low if past experience is any guide. As a consumer, I would always choose the much cheaper and more swooshable playset over the UCS model, but there are clearly lots of collectors out there who don't feel the same way. I think playsets and UCS models are very different markets, without much overlap. I would actually be more concerned by the possibility of collectors on a budget (or with limited display space) buying the new Slave 1 or whatever UCS SW set comes out next at MSRP versus a 10240 for $400 (seems like what most hope to get out of it). I think 10240 is a reasonable but not spectacular investment.

Off-topic.... youtubeonfire.com. Amazing. Watched "Big Hero 6" with the kids four times in the last week. As quality a movie as Disney has ever produced.If you haven't seen it- whether you have kids or not- see it. Most pleasantly surprising movie I have seen in years.

I bought eight. I like it. I've been stockpiling movie sets to sell as bundles when the next movie comes out.

Would have been better (cooler) to have a LotR chess set. They did miss that opportunity.

Just my opinion but I would never ever send them expensive retired sets. I know good and well they aren't going to pack and ship as well as I do. Inexpensive sets that are still available I might use FBA though.

I have 2 Jabba Palaces and 2 Helm's Deep waiting for me at a Mom & Pop pharmacy. I really hope they run a 25% off toys sale sometime closer to the holidays, but they may be gone by then.
