I drive by this house every day. Reminds me of HH. https://www.google.com/maps/@38.894112,-90.183779,3a,75y,277.99h,88.64t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sbVEyL3rAGMmMgpXkuSv2Ig!2e0

Complaint, I go to the dentist and the entire staff in there is talking about this stupid dress.

Just got 18 more. Up to 45. I'm all in on this set. I like it that much, especially at $25.

Haha, yeah. Angkor Wat at Miniland, Legoland Malaysia

I'm alive! Adult collector, no kids. Just looking to clear space and get a Slave 1. Looks like everything is present.

This forum is a little too real today.

Seriously? You already know this is a deal. This is precisely the kind of find that you just jump on. Any delay, and you'll lose the opportunity.

I have been big on this set since it was released. It's so unique I don't see how it can't do well long term, especially at a $25 buy in. If I am wrong then I want someone to flatten me with a steam roller, Austin Powers style.

They go hand in hand. Any person who has built any sort of city scape will always want one of these. The first being out of reach for most will drive demand for the mixer. And everyone knows there is always an Ecto 1 parked at the fairgrounds, so having either one of these sets drives demand for Slimer and company. It;s really just simple math mixeled with fresh cotton candy. How many times have you seen a SSD parked out front at the fair? Exactly....

Same.

I guess I'm glad he didn't do that! I'm over it now. Moving on to the next complaint. I hate my dad.

I sure hope you mean Grand Carousel?

I think we should have a site wager. Dollar for dollar....My SSD vs whatever you can buy with the money from a sold SSD based on the Brickpicker price guide. I'll send the winner some sort of GC. If I win, nobody gets a thing. Let me think on it.

3 Benny's Spaceship @ $49 each 2 Creator Family House @ $21 each

When you call eBay customer service, complain (constructively) about the automatic defect registering when a buyer chooses "I haven't received my item" to send you a message about shipping delays or just plain impatience. The handful of reps I have discussed it with agree to varying degrees that it doesn't make sense, and always promise to forward it up the chain. This has been in place waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long already. Let's pile on the pressure... it is just ridiculous. How hard is it to just have two choices: "I have a question or problem I want to try to work out with the seller" and "I need to resolve a problem the seller has already failed to help me with"

No honey. The dress doesn't make your ass look fat. It was already fat to begin with. Actually the dress couldn't possibly make your ass look any fatter.

Complaint. I was blissfully unaware of what this dress was until a mod brought it up on BP

In whose eyes?

Idiots in cars. You know, when you are zipping along 70mph in 3500 pounds of steel, glass, plastic and gasoline, how about PAYING A-F-ING-TTENTION! And please someone please explain to me the morons that see a car parked on the side of the road and feel the need to swerve over into the oncoming lanes to avoid it. There is enough room for you to stay in your lane and get around the parked car. The roads were designed for such stupid. And what kind of logic is it that would risk a head on collision to avoid a mirror sideswipe? Or turning. You know, if only there was some way for drivers to signal or indicate to each other which way they are about to turn, it would surely make things more simple Or how everyone now thinks they are driving a bus or 18 wheeler and feel the need to swerve all the way into the oncoming lane to make a right turn. Dude, you Honda civic does not require wide turns, what the hell is wrong with you? You just went into the oncoming lane, ON A BLIND HILL, to make a freaking right turn. Did you notice that car that flew over the hill from the other direction as soon as you turned? Probably not, because you are an idiot with your head up your own rear, but you were just a second away from death or worse. And the poor family in the other car... Nothing makes me hate humanity more than driving around all these idiots.

I'm actually super excited about this set. I just seriously don't understand people's negativity towards it. It's freaking deja vu like the Helicarrier. People did so much bitching and complaining about it, but look at it, it's selling like hot cakes. I've seen people complain about the build and that it looks boring. What would you exactly expect with 2 panels attached to a ball? It's like the TB. It's a simple build with 2 identical towers. But the finished product is absolutely amazing. It's also funny with people talking about the size. If they made it a $100 set with half the pieces, I wouldn't be surprised to see the same people complain that it was too small and for a UCS set, Lego would need to make it bigger. Luckily, it's just a very vocal minority that make it apparent online. This will be a day one purchase for me. I love everything Star Wars, and it'll be nice to have a Tie Fighter sitting next to the X-Wing on display along with all my other UCS sets. /2centcomment

I bought my fire temple around $80. I think i'am screwed.

And too repetitive. The idea is intriguing in theory I suppose but the Great Wall of China is simply that; a big wall. That sort of build sounds interesting as watching wallpaper dry. Honestly the Egyptian Pyramids, Mayan Temples, or Incan city of Machu Picchu would make for a more diverse building experience. Besides if I'm going to build a wall, it will be Pink Floyd's.

Ghostbusters...buy 14 with $700 SSD funds. $1400 by this time next yr. Since it is done for sure it it will dry up quicker than ToO and rise quicker me thinks. Sent from my XT1080 using Brickpicker mobile app

I had something funny/odd happen today. I had 3 separate big sales on Amazon all within 30 minutes of each other between 1:00 and 1:30pm EST, to different people/states. I normally sell about 1 set of this size every week or 2. SSD $790 Grand Emporium $292 R2-D2 $350 Weird!

Long time lurker, but I would be able to help here! I've got a large photography setup, full length infinity white background and studio lights/diffusers... have worked for a professional studio in the past. Depends on the timeline, really, as I have a busy few weeks coming up in March. I do have a LOT of the sets you are wanting (not so much star wars, but modulars, architecture, maersk train, cuusoo (minus the sub), all the winter sets, etc.Not a ton are built, but I can do boxes no problem!

well, I gotta admit, I really had fun building 9493. Im not usually a builder but every build I do Im just fascinated at the engineering of these sets ... truly amazing work! 2 hours and 15 minutes for me on this build ... I want more!!!

Panic buy !

Here is another one of those quirky accessories for the work desk I came across. Basically another pencil holder of course but the (unavailable) product page says "Pencil Pot" which I don't know why but sounds funny. In any case it looks like a small Creator home with a touch of classic Town. I guess the story is her roof caved in and the repair guy is trying to fix it. Cute.

Now I wonder what The Big Lebowski would have been like with Nimoy considering how very "Dude" he was in that music video. Haha. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!I don't know but maybe if you stop yelling I can find out! :rofl:

Impressive, yet simple MOC.

Disney Movie Rewards - You can redeem 2,000 points for the new (I think) Alladin/Jasmine 2.0 Toy Box pack. I've been stockpiling for years and have finally hit the sweet spot of availability/desirability/sufficient points.

I'm not sure if Lego has officially announced it, but it was mentioned by more than one attendee at the London Toy Fair that after this summer's release of Chima sets that they would be no more. Until it happens of course, who knows... Xmas 2015 will be an excellent time to unload Chima if you can for a profit that you find acceptable. The thing is, kids will continue to be interested in Chima for a few years... I just met a guy locally who's son had just started watching Chima in the last few weeks. He'll be a prime candidate for buying Chima on the secondary market in about 6 months!

its not going anywhere soon

Whoa...almost the same story here. I'm 41 and wouldn't shed a tear if he died. Maybe a tear of joy. I know that may sound bad to a lot of you here, but my dad's actions and choices have screwed me and my family since I was young. To this day, he has yet to change.

In a recent issue of the longtime running MAD Magazine, there are a couple pages with some panels of satirical humor on our equally long lasting favorite building block brand. They are rather silly in a relatable way. I suggest clicking on each image to enlarge seeing how squeezed these forum reply boxes tend to make them at regular viewing. Source: The Brick Fan

TRU.ca just got about 20 or so in stock for any Canadians interested.

It literally almost jumped out and smacked me in the face.

Me too. I'm 42. I stopped speaking with him almost 4 years ago. Best decision I ever made. Honestly, if he were to die tomorrow, I'd at least know for sure that I will never have to deal with his crap again. And no, I won't be at the funeral.

If anyone is interested to pick some of this set, it's about to come out with 20% off, plus the 10$ off 40$ from the "CineplexHoliday" code. That would be 46 CAD before taxes: http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=34246786 You can also see all sets with 20% off starting Friday 27th, from the Lego City and Duplo themes: http://www.toysrus.ca/search/viewall/index.jsp?keywords=legofeb27 (The sale is not yet live as I write this, but it probably will when you read this post) The Cargo Train 60052 is also interesting at 174 CAD before taxes. EDIT: The sale's topic is actually "Save up 40% on Building Sets", so it might be more than the customary 20% from the past weeks!

I just passed by two Walmarts in Montreal: Place Versailles and near Galerie d'Anjou. There was absolutely nothing of interest. Some sets that Gravtation found at 50% were still at full price, like a batch of Mos Eisley Cantinas. There was a single Ninjago City with a puny discount for 110 CAD.

Well really like the fact I got another one . but box is not even near "fair condition", to me this box is destroyed but still sealed!

I only have two and i'm keeping them forever or until they reach

Translation: Americans like silly things like super heroes and the rest of the world is more sophisticated and into things like historic landmarks.

It's a bittersweet day...just sold my last set of Series 1 Mixels for $123. Other than a set that I have for ourselves, and some individual ones for sale, I am out!

lol I know it's badly frowned upon but yeah when Lego started banning people in America last year I created 8 new accounts with different names/bank details in prep for the inevitable ban hammer over here in Europe and I spread the purchases across the accounts. Also you can buy the set again 24 hours later when buying through shop@home. I may now be busted but it's all gravy.

I am not impressed with this set in general and that's why I only have a few but I think it will do fine. And plus emazers said miss out and you will be sorry so that should be good enough for most of his minions here.

There are many hidden gems on the BrickPicker forums.
