  1. I at least use an old GPS. These are the waypoints for the KMarts in my area. What can I say? I'm hooked on phonics. Actually, I'm waiting for my kids to lose my AOL CD before going to the next level.

  7. I have not picked up a lot in a long while as my kids are not as eager to sort and such.

  10. There is no reason to change it. Going public is usually to raise money. Unless they are cash poor with expansion directives there would be no reason. The fact that they are private and have done so well is very telling. No public reporting, no activist investors, no shorting against the stock. There objective is their customers, not the stock holders and that is a good thing.

  12. Over the last couple of days (since the Walmart success), I've picked up the following: eBay: Kai's Fire Mech 70500 - $6 Han Solo polybag - $7 Darkseid Invasion 76028 - $55 Craigslist: Star Wars T-16 Skyhopper 75081 Star Wars Rebels TIE Advanced Prototype 75082 Star Wars Rebels AT-DP 75083 Star Wars Rebels Ezra's Speeder Bike 75090 Jabba the Hutt, Max Rebo, and Princess Leia in Gold Bikini from the Sail Barge set - all four sets were used, but on display, only missing the fighter pilot (not the Inquisitor) from the TIE Advanced, all for $60 Imperial Star Destroyer 10030 - a ridiculously low price that I won't mention here. Much lower than value. I work for the Marine Corps, and bought it from a Marine (who never put it together) who had bought it from another Marine. We were both told "there are only 4 or 5 missing pieces). The tub is full and heavy. At the price I got it at, it's worth the risk to see if it's mostly there. The instruction manual is included. This is my new "project" and I will be spending many nights tearing it apart, inventorying it, and putting it together.

  17. None of these people did their homework. It would take 5 minutes on a tablet to find some good questions for this man. Squawk Box is about investing...right? They didn't ask one question about investing in LEGO or LEGO's profits or possibly going public. A fluff piece.

  18. Err, these interviewers were supposed to be journalist ? They came off as a bunch of clueless parents asking a manager of a LEGO store about the products. Where were the questions about future growth or plans or LEGO marketing strategy, .. anything ? Then I realized it was CNBC and the world made sense again

  20. Really? IMHO there's only one way to read the message below: "it's done". This set was overwhelmingly popular and is no longer available for purchase. Please check back for new LEGO

  21. I just owe ravenb99 big time... I bought 4 from Toys R Us at MSRP and then said this thing is a dog I am going to return and he told me to keep them and if they lost out he would buy them from me. What a pal. I originally bought some off someone on brick picker somewhere saying someone said it was retiring... Turns out whoever said that was right on. I sold 2 of the 4 but collected 6 more at clearance prices. Happy.

  23. Let's take bets on how quickly Lego's website will go down. I predict that if this goes live at 12:00am, their site will stall at 12:00:01.

  24. Does anyone see this set appreciating to $175+shipping in the future or is 150 shipped the max. I found a couple more over the last few days and happily bought them. Ex Astris, Scientia.

  26. Alot more end users already have GE in their collection. Most missed out on TH. Resellers stockpiled GE but most missed out on TH. TH is the centerpiece for the modulars collection and is a must have:

  31. if you look at the report, Apple is still the most valuable. Lego is the most powerful. interesting that there are only 12 brands with a AAA+ rating, lego is no 1, ferrari is no 10 and no 12 is...walt disney. in fact lego star wars also appears in the report as a driver to lego's rating. http://issuu.com/brandfinance/docs/brand_finance_global_500_2015

  34. I don't know if I read it here or somewhere else, but someone suggested to tape over half the barcode to protect half of it and leave the other half out to scan if they're having trouble.

  35. Word. Use clear packing tape over the label including the bar code. Thousands of shipments later no shipping problems even though they suggest you do not tape over the barcodes.

  39. Those sets have recently retired (or are just about to do so "officially"), if you think one is a good investment and you find them at MSRP, buy them: - Town Hall - Grand Emporium - Horizon Express - Sopwith Camel - Arkham Asylum - Maersk EEE - Fallingwater - Research Institute - Arctic Supply Plane - R2-D2 - Haunted House Those MIGHT go EOL in the near future (within the next 12 months, no particualr order), if you have the space and money and you think the sets are good investments, stock up on them: - Red Five X-wing - Ewok Village - Sydney Opera House - Death Star - Exo Suit - Birds - Ghostbusters - Mobile Crane MKII - Metal Beard's Sea Cow - Tower of Orthanc - Pet Shop - Palace Cinema - VW Whether a set is a good investment or not, nobody can answer for sure because everything is the the eye of the beholder. Also nobody can answer for sure when to buy best, or at which price and how many to buy. Every investor has to find his own way and you there will never be THE best advice for any question.

  41. Exo Suit is a great set, but just a victim of its own hype, following the RI, and QFLLs' unreasonable profit expectations while a set was in production. If you can profit while a set is "alive" (e.***., Minecraft at Christmas), it's a gift and exception--not a rule. The Exo Suit is dying. Long live the Exo Suit!

  42. Taj Mahal 10189 Used Complete $1400 plus shipping Eiffel Tower 10181 Used no instructions $1000 plus shipping Emerald Night Train 10194 Used Complete $335 plus shipping I purchased all of them from a used bulk lot on Craigslist and still have Grand Carousel 10196 and Winter Village Toy Shop 10199 left to sell from the bulk lot I bought for $1300 total. Great day indeed! Plus the Fire Brigade from that lot (but that one is happily sitting in my own collection)
