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

New Hellraiser and Pinhead theme?

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.

Of course there are. But LR is no Hobbit. I don't need sales numbers to explain.

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...

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.

Lego reps have it in their system the retirement date for PS is end of 2016 and PC end of 2017. Whether it remains that way or not I don't know but that is what corp is feeding them at the moment - no modulars to retire in 2015. This does make sense as 2 were retired in 2014 and it does line up with the current buying limits on LEGO Shop at Home USA. As always TLG can change their minds about production at a few stages throughout the year. A new box size for PS will certainly add to the plausibility it is going to hang around through 2016. I hope it is true as I wan't to see if box size/version will play any role at all in aftermarket pricing and demand. Should be interesting.

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'.

Wanna dance? Edit: ninja'd by valenciaeric.

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????

Here is a Rebrickable review on 31031 Rainforest Animals.

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!

I recreate these in LDraw when possible since the official PDFs aren't released by Lego. I've done some from Flickr archives and others from freeze-framing a review build video that someone made. FYI, hot linking our PDFs is restricted due to some DDoS morons, but you can browse www.constructibles.net --> Comic Con, and the instructions link is available on each product page.

I was waiting for that remark. Ha. Ah, looks like I'll have yet another project on my hands. That reminds me, are there instructions for the older microbuilds of JEK-14's Starfighter, Bag End, or Rocket's Warbird? Let me guess, I just gave myself more work didn't I? Dang it.

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

Prepare for a return with a bullethole through the box and a not as described case.....

What also makes these sets hard to get at Celebration (I'm not sure how it compares to other cons) is the dealers are not asked to leave the collector lines. Within the first 50 people in line, there will be 40 dealers/resellers that have booths at the con. The resellers themselves won't necessarily be in line (cough, Brian's Toys, cough), but they'll bring 4-5 minimum wage cronies with them and have them branch out with their badges and pick-up 6-10 from each vendor per day. It's hard to stomach for the collector's to see the con exclusives showing up in the dealer booths already marked up 300%. I'm not sure how certain dealers did it back at CIII, but they were buying the Hasbro talking Vader's from fans for $30-$40 each and reselling for $75 or so. They had a glutton of stock leftover and the bottom fell out of it less than a month later. I remember we all got our first Force FX Lightsaber's this way. Trade 3 in and you had a Force FX Lightsaber for $45.

This looks like an awesome set. I loved the Classic Batman and Bag End sets from last year. Very similar boxes. Highly collectible long term, but the growth is very slow after the initial seller makes a profit. For most of us, these sets are for true collectors that are willing to pay top dollar for a slow appreciating product.

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.

this is awesome and i show everyone i know, i just got it done and its amazing!!!!!!

I really miss sets that came with baseplates like Skull Island... The new pirates sets would have been a lot better if they came with basic blue baseplates of any size to help simulate the water more. I get that it's to keep costs down, and it likely does not fit with LEGO's new "model" or whatever, but still. Miss me some good ole baseplates

Time to get eBay involved: http://pages.ebay.com/help/buy/item-not-received.html Fair is fair. We should not fault sellers who follow rules, but the ones who do not need to be weeded out too.
