I built this on the ferry this afternoon. I haven't figured out where a few pieces go but this is good for now.

Some QFLL 3 Admiral Whatshisface for $30 each on eBay 5 electro Polybags $16 each on eBay

​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.

​Are you in the right thread?

the fact that someone voted Ed would sell a set has me the perplexed the most.

So it looks like the May the Fourth Promo is on at Lego online... there is the free Admiral Yularen, but NO discount on sets! Again Australia getting screwed.

Fairground mixer. It begins.

I Build inconsistently (whenever I fell like it) I Built 10246 detective office which I've been building since I've got it in January lol. Right after I started building my half sealed 10184 town hall (I built the cinema when I got it in 2009) I built the gas station and vehicle (1 and 2 bags) in a Few hours.

​People posted about it in the bought today thread. http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/402-what-lego-set-did-you-buy-today/?do=findComment&comment=454619

shop at home webpage is now viewable (not orderable): http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Ferris-Wheel-10247?fromListing=listing $199 - YES!

Hmmm, I wonder why?

The smallest air bubble will engage my OCD.....usually take me at least 45 minutes to apply one lol

oos at target, walmart, and amazon limit 5 at LEGO Shop at Home

It's not the size of your collection, but what you do with it that counts

Been a lazy week, so here's a poll to liven things up.

There is not.

They were available shipped to the US from Amazon UK 2 weeks ago for $151/ea. Lasted about 2 days.

​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>..

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.

​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.

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."

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.

​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.

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!!

​I think the official release was May 1. They're up at LEGO Shop at Home at least.

I'll be away for a week (going away bush for the next 7 days) but I'll leave you all with a juicy bit of info as a present Santa's Workshop hasn't been retired and will be a Toyworld exclusive WEF JUN 15. I seen a poster in store today advertising its arrival. PR will also be available Jun as well.

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.

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 ...

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!

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.

I find your lack of faith disturbing. But ya. This is pathetic. SW keychains. Woopdee-freakin'-doo. Finally us west coasters score for not having to stay up late for disappointment

​Thx! I had seen something similar my last visit there and was impressed with the quality of yours.... most definitely not the same hehehe

​To tell you the truth, I put the Carpenter vesion because I could not remember the original singer. I meant to post this: My PARENTS would call this old school

Ed is still hoarding Fire Bikes as we speak.

He's letting his firebike go

​Thanks. Those are Plano ProLatch's. I don't know if they carry them at Target (they closed down in Canada).

I just got word that the eBay traffic reports will no longer be available. It was a useful tool - I suppose eBay got tired of people realizing that the number of eBay buyers have continued to dwindle.

There were plenty on eBay last time I looked.

It's the star wars celebration promo.

​​Because "weirdos" like us display what makes us happy so there.

Good point...

​CA $229.99

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 target

Also got some bricklink orders in the mail, just 4 more pieces and this baby is done.

I had a great day and picked this set up along the way... Sweet!

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.

Just keep playing with it. Bricklink is a trip back in time to the dark days of the early Internet. You'll never learn anything if we give you all the answers.

Was the cat a freebie?
