Geez...what does that even mean? Are you the CEO of B&Noble? Or are you a cashier. Do your job. Scan it. If it works, then it's supposed to work. Because someone much higher than your pay grade, with a permanent position in the company, programmed those machines to accept what it's supposed to accept. Glad you walked away. I wouldn't have time to deal with that either. Although, that would tempt me to complain to the people above her about her crappy customer service.3 points

My last one was delivered to my door for $204 CDN. With the reverse exchange, that should land somewhere around $160... Don't forget the advertised price always includes VAT which is only removed during the checkout phase so £127 drops to something like £110 at checkout <don't remember the exact but it was something like that>..1 point

I see parallels between 8043 and 42030. The latter being branded may help it appreciate quicker. If 42030 goes in the first year of production then all bets are off and this may be a $400+ set by X-Mas 2016. You say so what retail is $250. Entry price is everything with technic sets. My entry for 13 sets remains at ~150.00/set. All I see if dollar signs. Just my opinion. Each of those sets (8043 42030) are packed with power functions (main driver of initial technic value). There is a certain cool factor in a front loader (often on US TV gold rush) Maybe not a volvo but construction equipment has been highlighted a lot in the last couple of years. 8043 2+ years after retirement is a clean double (40%+ CAGR highly dependent on your entry price). Maybe 42030 will not not retire this year, maybe my money can spent better elsewhere...opportunity costs? Perhaps. I like a diversified group of sets. That is part of my strategy. My vote is to include 42030 in a diversified investment plan.1 point

Welcome to the world of investing. However this is still the peaceful land of unicorns and kitty cats compared to real time stock exchange trading or hedging. And where is excess profits there is competition down the road. Capitalism at its best, the so called hyenas are the guys in the end who are the most efficient.1 point

Does anyone have a quick idea of how many months or how many coupon cycles the lego exclusion has been in effect? I think enough times to tell the cashier that "this exclusion has been on the last 14 coupons, but still the registers are being programmed to accept it on architecture sets from the puzzle department while they manage to keep the new sets updated in the toys department. So either who is reponsie for updating the POS databases for all of the stores nationwide is completely unaware of these sets -- which is highly doubtful by now -- or they really want these sets to be treated as puzzles with the coupon applied and would be extremely surprised to find out that cashiers at the local level are purposely applying their own agenda to thwart the customer's use of their paid Member perks." l'll be more than happy to write a letter of recommendation to your corporate customer service department -- asking them to nominate you for a division recognition for coupon policy watchdog."1 point

That was a neat trick. My smartphone must have thought my post was referencing the B&Noble Lego coupon exclusion and rerouted the reply. Ya. That's the ticket.1 point

FYI DS was on sale last year too with 15% in the EU. DS is the LEGO set that defies everything we know about the firm's policies and production cycles. That's why people shouldn't conclude anything based on a DS anomaly. That set lives its own life.1 point

Bought the UCS Tie Fighter this morning! I had enough LEGO VIP Points to pay for the whole thing. Can't wait to build it!!1 point

I agree there should be a series 3. I'd like to see rod and Todd Flanders, bumblebee man, Dr nick, officers Lou and Eddie, sideshow Bob, sideshow Mel, fat Tony, Mayor Quimby, Rev lovejoy, Kent Brockman, cletus, Captain McAllister, Otto, and the ones mentioned above. I'm thinking that the lack of Skinner so far may mean that the next set could be Springfield elementary... With him as an exclusive. Maybe supernintendo Chalmers as well, lunchlady Doris, or Mrs hoover. Could also have the school bus, keeping the trend of a vehicle with each set, and have Otto as well. So much possibilities. There are also plenty of variants that they could use for the family as well.1 point

box is probably hinting future carnival sets ... Super Swing and a Roller Coaster?! awesome set and for sure in my investing plans ... now, time for me to get me some fairground mixers ...1 point

I had to vote for The Mine because DS will become unavailable at retail first, but not actually RETIRE until years later... The other three will simply never happen!1 point

Perhaps this has been mentioned, but methinks there will definitely be a series 3. Too many characters are notably absent, with the most obvious ones being Moe, Skinner and Barney. Others that I'd like to see are Rainier Wolfcastle, Lenny and Carl and Lionel Hutz.1 point

I was pleasantly surprised to find a hobbit attack on laketown (79016) for $14.98 and a ninjago overborg attack (70722) for $5.98 at my local target1 point

That piece does in fact exist and there's a ton of them in 10179, which is why it is so rare and expensive. Anytime I find these in a lot I hold onto them just in case of a project like this one. I really want this set and would also want it in the newer bluish grey, I think old grey looks dirty and faded against new grey. My only worry is that a new UCS Star Destroyer will come out and I will have spent a ton on a model I could again get for a couple hundred bucks.1 point

Our kids really like the Mixer set for exactly that reason... being portable they constantly load and unload the trucks. Frankly, for them it's more fun than pretending to hit the strong man bell attraction. They do like the dunk tank though. I just hope we don't get something like this...

I sold off my TIE Fighters, X-wings, and Battle of Hoth since the prices were so high already. I have a few Y-wings, SFC Interceptor, Gungan Subs, and Falcons that I am debating selling soon. Just about everything else will be held longer. I sold the UCS Slave 1 minifigures for $90. I am keeping the Slave 1 for myself and this was a way to get it much cheaper since I will display it without the figures and I can always put a much cheaper Boba in the cockpit if I want.1 point
