Two things I love this week: 1) Wife and I finally paid off our student loan debt...debt free except our house. (Promptly bought myself an Exosuit to celebrate) 2) Ordered a technical climbing jacket and shirt from Eddie Bauer (retail $270). They were both on sale ($134) and had an additional 40% off at checkout ($80). Apparently their dinosaur system couldn't actually accept my paypal payment, even though it said it could. I had to call to give a new form of payment. The CS Rep gave me an additional 40% off for a total shipped of $48. Booyah.

What a glorious day for those of us who are first generation Brickpickers (first wave of sets retiring since you started this mad game).

Once those creative towers start to come in, some BPers will have to agree to accompany their significant others to watch it...

Hi, I found BP Grolim's EOL excel worksheet a while back (posted 03 June 2014) and I have updated it with the list provided by xRebirthed, just wanted to give credit to my fellow BPs for gathering the data. I have made some tweaks to the original spreadsheet, you are able to filter by set category etc. for the most recent retirements. Hope it's helpful for some. Ummm.... *embarrassed* can someone assist me and tell me how to attach an excel sheet? haha NVM, figured it out EOL dates table.xlsx

Mine haven't shipped yet. When they do, you can flip my wife's marital status from "Located in warehouse" to "Waiting for new stock"

That is really something to celebrate! Well done! And people always made fun of Beavis and Butthead... at least they do not have student loans to pay off.

Edited

No R2-D2 on the list? It is coming back? heh

I'm not shocked. Think about it: any time the media has ever covered any story on something any of us are familiar with, when have they EVER got it right? I gave up on the fantasy of intelligent journalism the very first story they "covered" on something I had some expertise in back when I was 19. They're hopeless.

That never stops anyone else here...

Dude, since when you are not following daily Deal threads??

All my orders for the tower fun from last night are coming in as shipped..... Yes freaking yes. Ordered 35. Up to 17 confirmed shipped. Now to be greedy and pessimistic I should have ordered more but got tired of trying and failing. Only success 1 on like 15 tries. And thought this may be a mistake. Funny thing is my RI order from last week was canceled. And I know they shipped for others. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app

************************************************************************** PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS NOT A SPECULATION THREAD. ************************************************************************** i just moved around 20 posts from here to that thread.

Yes but beware, it's dangerous. You won't get my code !

This is amazing.

Actually per ashererin TH, R2 and HH need to be on the list too http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/R2-D2-10225 http://shop.lego.com...Town-Hall-10224

Something is up with Lego. We could perhaps argue that it would be hard to foresee the demand for RI... but the same limited availability on The Tumbler last year (plus hard limits), scarcity of Slave I and DO last month, and now this... I firmly believe there is much more to it all than meets the eye.

Said moment alone. It was lovely.

About a week ago I was at my local St. Vinnies looking for a new book or two. I always check the toy section and that day was no different. I grabbed a bag of LPS for the school and was just about to leave disappointed when a fresh cart of toys appeared. I squealed when I saw the employee throw a gallon ziplock of LEGO on the shelf. She giggled at me and said she had more in her cart. I ended up with five - gallon bags and a stack of 10" road base plates. The sad and funny part was when I went to pay for it the people at the counter were talking about a guy that was in the store earlier buying LEGO and asked if they had more. They told him no and then found these bags. I wonder what he got? I had a weekend project of sorting and detecting what sets I had. So far I have found and built a black monarchs castle #6085, Victory Lap Raceway #6395, Battering ram #6062, Sonar Transmitting Cruiser #6783 and I still have a huge pile of red and yellow pieces that look like more speed track sets by the mini figs. I paid $30.00 and have had way more fun than that. Lol. It floors me that I was able to build each set with only a few missing pieces. Ty for letting me fill your ears with old lady craziness. Lol it is so nice to have adults that understand. Lol

I ordered one today. Told my wife I was going to quick flip it (haha, totally going to build it )

Sad that the two leads on the show never seemed to Bond....

You don't need this. You need 3 of them hanging from the ceiling blasting away at each other.

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

Couldn't help myself today:

Crap! Wrong thread, I thought this would lead me to a good resource for all the types of grey bricks.

It's not a fantastic deal but I'll post in case anyone is interested.

Hi there, I'm a new potential investor from the Tampa, Florida area. I have been enjoying reading this site for the past few days. There is a huge amount of information, it puts any investing website I have ever seen to shame. Kudos for the good work. I won't bother anyone with any questions yet, I'm sure there is more than enough information on this site to answer all I will have. I look forward to lurking on these boards and picking up some of your experienced thoughts. Happy investing.

new Shop at Home death star shipped to me had seal codes of 05 R5

I like the science adventure set better than the 21110. Hope it gets made. It will only help 21110 prices.

thats weight for 2 , they were about 6-7lbs each in shipping box if I remember correctly from the holidays WM.com website lists them at 4.95lbs again though it could be incorrect and just a standard weight they use

I'm super stoked you sold this because today when someone tried to lowball me on my creative tower on craigs list I told him I'd only knock off 5 bucks and referred him to amazon where the price was $119.99! Heh heh. The circle of life, or something. Oh, so creative tower on craigs list. $75.

So when is the US LEGO Shop at Home gonna get with the program and start putting up the retired tags? I think this is two rounds it's skipped.

I may have found a new buisness for you, Instruction Rental. The cost could be based on the rarity say $25/week for the CC with a security deposit. You ship them out with a pre paid return envelope. Kind of like the old NetFlix. Thanks I will have to try this at home work blocks it.

Lol the only ones buying / demanding Santa related sets in January and February are the people on BP

word of a warning - last year Winter Village Market was marked as retired in Europe, only to be un-retired closer to holidays. We could probably assume Winter Village Market is indeed retired this time around. But Santa Workshop very likely comes back (especially given the demand picture)

Rotten Tomotoes has plenty and overwhelmingly rotten. I do like Leonard Maltin's review but then again he probably is the only film critic I have respect for.

You're fighting a losing battle to some extent. It seems in the interest of file size that Lego has a pretty poor resolution in their PDFs - and the rule of thumb is if it looks crappy on the screen, it'll look worse printed. I would suggest two things: 1) Try on a laptop or computer screen to see if adjusting the contrast and/or brightness make it easier to differentiate the parts. 2) Try printing two pages per (in portrait) to see if smaller is better.... Make sure you get non-glossy paper too. Otherwise, if you have trouble on a particular page, I've got the real instructions (as I bet a lot of others do) and could help out! I don't charge a $5 fee like hxckid88 either.

I wish I would have bought more to invest but at $350 a piece I just did not want to speculate buying a 10 pack of them LOL Ask raven he knows I like to work in 10's ROFL

Demand is batsh!t crazy for this set. It was proven at brickset with statistics about page hits for articles about it.

I made an incomplete list in the DD thread. Probably those I lay my eyes on. Anyway: Retirement on en-FR: 10937 AA 10233 HE 79003 UG 79004 79007 79008 PSA 10211 GE 75025 10235 WVM 76000 Mr Freeze 76006 Extremis 76007 Malibu 75018 75021 Gunship 75025 Jabba's SB 70404 Castle 31011 AA (as well) 31012 FH 41006 DB 21002 ESB 7965 MF 21002 MC 42007 42000 Racer 3315 OH ......... pretty much all super heroes 76000-76007...

that's not what I think of when I think of Lego. don't like.

New here, where do I find these seal codes? On the seal?

I put it up for sale on craig's list and it was sold within two minutes. I have two left. Maybe for the long long haul?

Corn dogs man, corn dogs...

Considering the wife is begging me to go see this poor excuse of a film on V-Day... I simply replied, "I'm out".

Do you prefer the old one ?

Mine arrived from Amazon. Some slight box creasing, so I complained and got a $40 credit. Not much else I could do since out of stock. But, no bubble wrap or air pillows. It wouldn't have been that tough to do.
