All my packages arrived today. Was at Florida Legoland last week. If anyone doens't know, you can buy LEGO and ask them ship to your home from the LEGOLAND. for over $500, they only charge 5%.

Let's back up a bit. Your wife is willing to make sandwiches for you and it ended up on the complaint thread ???

It seems apparent the sun is setting on this line. Lonely Mountain, by all accounts, was a very poor seller. It's a big price tag for "just a dragon" in a lot of people's minds. Until the horde catches the scent, the currently large stockpile of these will last, then all at once the secondary market is going to blast off into space. I believe.

Turn the sandwich upside down. You can thank me later. ...or are you saying the jelly is in the middle and the peanut butter is on the outside, so you get peanut butter all over your hands when you eat it?

Shipped out my highest value sale today! A little under $4900 CDN for some CMF cases including: 2 x series 10 sealed case 3 x series 7 in sealed outer box 3 x series 5 in sealed outer box 3 x series 5 in sealed case Was an exciting weekend haha

I'm supposed to believe that Lego is going to take a set in the last year of its life and repackage it, but leave the similar-sized and younger PC still in production in the big ol' box, because why exactly? This is more silliness. Toos status I trust as an indicator of retirement, whether in EU or stateside. But a sudden, inexplicable urge to repackage the PS? Give me a break.

Agreed, this is absolutely ridiculous. Either you are part of this family or not. Don't try and live in both houses because eventually one of them won't let you back in. Brickpicker is much better community as well. We aren't trying to buy up every single deal on anything that ever was sold in a store. We are only here for LEGO. Let them have their crap and we will enjoy our LEGO.

Who cares? ;)

Something else to speculate about....just what we needed.

Forgive me if this is repeat fo any earlier posts (haven't read the history in this thread)... I was just thinking... could the Simpson House be around for a long, long time? I mean, we talk about "2-year runs" for big exclusives, maybe this one will stay longer because Kwik-E-Mart will give it a boost (and vice versa)... but now I think... what about the next in the series? ... and the next? Say it's 2017... the Kwik-E-Mart is still out... maybe a Krusty Burger or Springfield Elementary (or whatever) "coming soon" ... as a new AFOL walking in my Lego store, I'm not sure I would be interested in starting a Simpsons collection if they had retired the Simpson's House a year prior. Won't they sort of have to keep the Simpson's House around to support the rest of the line... "for life"? Just look at the modulars. Any new buyer could start his modular collection today, and buy a Palace Cinema, a Parisian Restaurant, and a Detective's Office, and be proud of his collection... and add new sets as they come out. So he missed out on the Town Hall, Fire Brigade, etc... They would have been nice, but aren't critical. He can just move forward with his anonymous little city starting right here and now. How could someone start a Simpsons collection and not be able to buy a Simpsons House from the Lego Store? It seems it would be incomplete from the start.

Inspired after reading siddji's topic of Best Site for MOC Modular step by step creations?, I thought it would be a good idea to have a topic listing some great resources to not only help anyone wanting to design their own modular style houses but also inspire a few ideas as well. Anyway, I came across this simple guide from Eurobricks listing the basics of how to generally get started. Resources: Eurobricks Brickhamster

Broke down and ordered a pair of simps houses from target. I think it will be back but want a couple just in case. I had a coupon for target I was saving so it worked out good.

USPS' reputation is well known in Canada as well Also, this is another reason to conduct all of your business at your local TRU parking lot.

I talked with Lego today, it appears the designer never played chess, and a few pieces were in the wrong location in the instructions. They need to reprint the directions so the are not teaching children/AFOL's how to play chess incorrectly...

How do people not understand the repercussions of posting some of our deals on SD such as CT & 10695 so Walmart has to raise the prices? I assume that the poster must not have the funds to purchase so they post on the there so the rest of us can't enjoy it any longer. READ: CT went from $30. to $35. to $40. to $45. to $49. Now 10695 went from $20. to $30...Complaint over, next time I'll purchase everything I want on day one. Carry on...

I was happy to pick up 9 Series 13 CMF Hot Dog Guy's on my lunch break. After stacking points from prior purchases I paid $16 total.

You add it after the order has been placed, most sellers have a basic break down by weight/shipping method on the splash page that gives buyers a general estimate of what shipping will be.

The LOTR sets hung on for a long while after the sun set. I believe in LM long term, but I don't know when we'll see the last of it. Six months seems pretty quick for them to even recoup the set up/development cost of everyone's favorite dragon. I have no knowledge or even logic on my side, but my gut tells me they'll last through Christmas at least. Wave 2 (Desolation of Smaug) sets are still available at MSRP online. If the horde hoards, TLG might even fire up the assembly line for another run or four. I hear such things have happened before... but maybe that's just a rumor.

Nope, we like to play London Bridge is falling down.

I think it will come back. It is massively hoarded, supply can't keep up with demand. I think TLG wants to cool down and just puts it 'temporarily out of stock'.

Dude, you were fortunate to follow our advice as it has just gone TOS at lego shop europe - not available to backorder! 1 more production run to fulfill pending orders and basta????

I put together from Mixels Series 2 the Frosticons followed by the Fang Gang. First off I like blue and curvy parts so the cold crew was already a joy to begin with. Plus after the first series I liked how the characters strayed from the previous norms I noticed (short, tall, medium). Immediately I like how Slumbo went together, he stands very firm of a character, and it was my first chance seeing those minifigure head eyes which are pretty neat I think. My other favorite of this group would be the goofy beer belly dragon named Lunk who kind of looks drunk and those blue ninja blades hanging from his nose I guess is ....frozen booger snot. Ha. The little guy with wings, Lurr, is uniquely cute. After building those fairly quickly, I went onto the Fang Gang which are both cool and a little creepy to be honest. With all those teeth they're like the stuff of nightmares. Anyway my personal favorite far as character goes continues to be Chumly for the goofball name and that hilarious face! Haha. Now as to build experience I think Gobba was great and he looks the same way too. He can be a bit disturbing with the mouth closed having rows of teeth like a shark and his very form reminds me of the fun b-movies "Critters" if anyone remembers those. Jawg, well, looks like a dog....a really weird dog with spiky chompers that could scare a kid with that rather huge jaw wide open. Yeesh. Overall I really enjoyed building those two tribes between character design, assortment of parts, and techniques incorporated. I think I liked the Fang Gang a tad better on one hand for the way each was built and how they look but then again the shaping for the Frosticons well as color choice hit high on the mark for me too. Well I just have the Flexers left to complete Series 2. They definitely look like the odd bunch ....from an already odd bunch.

#breaktherules + gandalf + wild style + remote controller + vortex = a sequel to Lego movie the video game, in "real world", like the bonus level in the kids play room, in the previous game?

Opened one of the $150 Town Halls and just finished the build. Second favorite modular so far.

They shall announce the entire line is discontinued except ToO and it will live on for years LOL

Believe it or not, my oldest kid used to insist that the PB was on the bottom and if I accidentally did it the other way (and he saw it) I had to trick him into believing I had made another sandwich because turning it around wasn't good enough.

everytime my wife makes me a pb&j sandwich the peanut butter is on the top

Thanks once again. At least that's two down and I think The Brick Show had a time lapse build for Rocket Raccoon's Warbird. Ah here it is.

The little ones will have a blast. The park is really geared for 12 & under. There will be lots to keep your 2 year old busy - there is much more interactive play opportunity than Disney. Food in the park is expensive, but not outrageous - and pretty good quality. Don't waste time on sky cruiser or lost kingdom, otherwise all the rides that are age/height appropriate will be fun. If you have time and budget, you can do the sea life aquarium in about 60-90 minutes. Enjoy!

1) Be prepared to spend money. 2) Be prepared to have fun. 3) Be prepared to spend money.

Here is an amusement park MOC completely built out of LEGO with a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, jump & smile, pendulum, and some kind of swing ride all powered by motors. It also features an array of lights to brighten the lively scene during the night.

A fail? Pretty sure the b Wing ucs was my most profitable exclusive ever. Buy in was 100.00 with a freebie I sold for 20. Buy in not including Vip points was 80 bucks. Sold all for 239. B wing was an amazing investment. That price was available to everyone for a few weeks. The same people who speak about b wing not being a wise investment are likely the same ones saying lotr and hobbit arnt good. It's simple Math and requires one knowing what the cost to aquire was.

Emmet: "Uh, guys. We're about to crash into the sun." Batman: "Yeah but it's gonna look really, really cool."

Lol same situation in our house! The kids watch this religiously. Batman makes the movie for me with classic lines like "all they do is sit around and play space checkers" after his time on the Millenium Falcon and "I only work in black... And occasionally, very dark gray" when they are building their sub. Genuinely funny.

They sell like cold cakes out of my van. Probably shouldn't have written "Rape" on the side of it.
