I lied to myself for years about the prequels. I had an intervention, sought therapy, and finally accepted reality. They are abysmal.

This only helps our cause.

Used/Complete w/ box Batman Tumbler 76023 $155-$25 (discount gift cards) = $130 on EBay This is my builder...

Hi, nice to meet you.

Well first you ask the kids in the store if you can buy theirs, then when that doesn't pan out you go find the 14-16 year old kids smoking in the parking lot and give them $5 each to go in for the build. You can only do that if you've successfully ran & sold a multimillion dollar company though... otherwise it's sketchy ethically speaking.

Hello all! I am the owner (Ralph Pitcher) of the displays listed. I would like to thank Ed for putting this listing together for me! He has been a great customer over the years! As for shipping we have shipped alot of these. To be honest we rarely have a issue. When there is a issue its usually a piece that comes apart inside. All of these are hand assembled so they end up not all being glued the same. As far as space currently we have about 95 skids which we could combine to around 75. Thats roughly 3x 53 ft trailers Figure each trailer is roughly 530sqft so that means you would need about 1600sqft if I am doing the math right? Shipping from Ohio out west full truck is $1500 or less. Maybe a little less maybe a little more. Anything I can help you with just ask. Thanks Ralph

i was informed by the detective in charge of the case that the perp got arrested today.

Dagobah Set Exclusive at SDCC 2015 Yes, please! Actually, this will be just as impossible (for me) to get at SDCC as the Celebration VII set. I'll be BL'ing this one as well.

Sorry...the answer was hotcakes. Hotcakes.

or you pay off teenagers or something like that, forgot how it exactly went

I scored a winter soldier poly for $8.95 shipped on eBay today

First off if I am responding slow I have had a lot of interest. I apologize. However I have decided to offer 5 of the Vader displays for an additional $4500 to who ever buys this lot. Further more if you only want the Legos thats fine... Price is the same but you only need two 53ft semis (Which ship almost anywhere for $1500ea. All the small Lego displays would fit in one 53ft trailer (589/24 Skids). The other 315 (25 Skids)I am sure would fit in other truck. I need to confirm how much space would be left over. I also have alot of parts from these displays which we sell regularly available to the buyer as well.

Ordered mine and used $100 airmiles cash! Buyin was about $51

The Mad Scientist reminds me of a Minion...

Lego is the most powerful toy brand in the world... They employ people specifically to design sets. The Cuusoo/Ideas was a way for them to engage the community and it's been pretty successful regardless of the sizing of the models produced. Lego is also out to make money. We might think some of those big sets are cool but Lego knows that just because 10k people voted for the firehouse for example, it's highly unlikely that more that a certain percentage would fork over that much cash... Way less risk and way more people will buy the small sets.

41053 Cinderella's Dream Carriage (used, no box and manual), old Christmas promo set 40083 (new sealed) and Parisian Restaurant (used with box and manual) all for $109. gonna build and see if all complete. But look thought the box seems like every pieces are there.

I personally like the last half of Attack of the Clones, and can tolerate most of Revenge of the Sith. I actually enjoyed seeing Yoda fight Christoper Lee, and almost the entire battle of Geonosis. The prequels aren't horrendous, but they are not "legendary". The CGI in the Geonosis sequence was very well done. Right now it's just "in vogue" to rip and rant about CGI, but I think they pulled off something great in that sequence. I still think that's one of the best battle action sequence ever done.

I think it makes sense that the prequel sets will be the ones to get hurt, and everything else will do fine. Every SW fan I know, including myself, does not actually consider the prequels to be SW movies. Seriously. We're always quoting lines from the OT, but the prequels might as well not exist. They are pure garbage. Goofy battle droids running around saying 'Roger, Roger'. A talking salamander with a speech impediment. Argh.

My kid wants 75093 SW Final Duel for his birthday next week. I've noticed it's disappearing from stores so I picked one up at Walmart a couple days ago at full price ($79 + tax) just in case I could do no better. Then today... I'm driving by the only TRU in town (the one that NEVER stacks coupons, or partial pays on Thursdays or anything) and thought, "Let's just check it out... maybe I'll use the 25% off coupon...). There was just the one sales person working up front... no checkout lines open... had to pay at the service desk. I took my 75093 to the desk ($84.99 + tax)... She: "Using your TRU credit card today?" Me: "Yes I am!" She: "OK... you saved 10%... thats $76.49 plus tax..." Me: "Wait a minute... can I use this coupon on my phone... the barcode that says "Bold Arrow" above it?" She: "Sure!... OK that's $57.37 plus tax... just swipe your credit card there..." Me: <swipe> ... partial pay $10... "I'd like to use this gift card on my phone, too..." (-14% more) She: "No problem!"... <scan, click, click>... "Thank you for shopping today!" So I'm out the door paying $50.65 plus tax. ... if I only had the balls to tack on the $5 off coupon, I could change my name to "exciter2"

A long time acquaintance of mine, a Mr. Ralph Pitcher from Firebuy.com, has come to me with a tremendous offer. Ralph owns an equipment liquidating company which was hired by Target to remove store displays from over 1500 Target stores from across the US. These displays included many of the LEGO and toy displays you see in the toy isles of your local Target. He sold thousands of these displays over the past 4-5 years, many to me. LOL. He is a first class operator and is looking to sell his remaining inventory in one or two large transactions. Here is a basic list of what he is selling: Lego Cars 2 - 144Lego Gold Mine - 58Lego Friends - 135Lego Alien Conquest - 105Lego Monster Fighter - 55Lego Star Wars Pod Racer - 75Lego Fire Truck - 109Lego Heroica - 20Lego Star Wars Star Fighter - 77Lego World Racers - 61Lego Police Boat - 11Lego Legends of Chima - 4Lego Green Ninjago - 44Lego Red Ninjago - 4Lego Red Ninjago NIB - 2Kre-o Minifig Set - 43Mega Bloks Halo NIB - 75Kre-o Set of 2 NIB - 4Kre-o Transformers NIB - 4Kre-o Transformers - 8Cars 2 Race Track NIB - 1Disney Princess 5 Dolls NIB - 1Littlest Petshop NIB - 7 Combined, there are over 1000 LEGO displays available for sale. He is looking for $18,000.00(US) for the entire lot, which works out to less than $20 per display. To those of you who are familiar with these LEGO displays, they can easily sell for $80-$100 each, with many selling for several hundred dollars each. They are really some of my favorite LEGO collectibles and if you have the cash and the space to store these, you can make thousands of dollars from this opportunity. They do take up space though, three tractor trailers full, so anyone interested in buying a portion of the lot or the entire lot must have ample space. Ralph told me it would cost about $1500 to ship one container to California, so keep that in mind. He is looking to unload these quickly (before July 1,2015), so it's possible Ralph could work a deal with any potential buyer(s). His warehouse is located in Ohio. If Jeff and I had the space, we would pull the trigger on this deal, but unfortunately we do not. We are not making anything off this deal. Ralph has treated me well over the years and has sold me quality products, so I know he will be a pleasure to deal with. If you are interested and are a serious player, contact Jeff or I and we will put you in contact with Ralph. Good luck. Here are some photos of the displays...

You can keep reusing the Cineplex code as long as your clear your internet browser`s cache after each time you used it, or you can place an order with another internet browser.

Beware anyone hanging out in a Toy's R Us parking lot. You might get flipped like a certain breakfast item.

My experience, from going myself and seeing what people post, is that it depends. It depends on how busy they are. I always have my kids with me, but they only let my kids do it. If I only have one kid with me, then we can only do it once; we can't get two models. But, that's my experience living in SoCal. We always have huge lines, and they tend to run out of parts before everyone gets to do it (at least, that's what they tell me, but we always get there about 20 minutes before the event starts to make sure we can do the build). I've seen other people post that their TRU is dead, and that it's never been a problem for an adult to do it. But those people tend not to live in SoCal. lol

i would advise against selling 10228s. this set was not produced for long and it's still very unique among exclusive sets.

I have done quite a few. I guess my best advice would be to talk to the folks running it. I am sure you could be sneaky and grab an extra of each piece, but i think it would be better to simply ask nicely and see if you could build one for yourself. They get pretty crowded and the line can be long, so it will be best to get there early - but I haven't seen them run out (but then again, I usually get there early).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Vnp9AUuIs It requires some social engineering to get them to actually check. Every store lied to this guy, so he came up with a more successful dialogue. Good read anyway.

11/19/14 $127.99

I sold three more Jurassic Park Gallimimus Polybags for $12.75 each. Yeah-y-yeah.

This would be my next best scenario to one buyer. I don't want to have to keep touching these. Every time I move them touch them it costs money. Unfortunately our people won't work for Legos:) By selling as a lot I am protecting the buyer. No one else had this deal so you set the price for the most part. I would think buyers can appreciate that. I would also include the website and domain name Toysondisplay.com. To the buyer of the whole lot. I may even have a skid or two of shipping boxes we use for these displays. Kind of a business in a box.

with GSP you are not responsible for shipping/packaging once the item arrives in Erlanger. Pitney Bowes packed it not you.

Hysterical...

Depends of how many you have in stock. If you have like 1-5, hold them. If you have too much of, like 10-30, sell somes. You'll win small (well, it's already 2x profit) still better than losing big overnight. A case of mine: There was that Dino Riders T-Rex set that fetched at around 600$-1000$ Misb right before the 2008 market crash, after the big deflation, everyone were selling and saving, so i got a Japanese (even rarer) Misb version for 200$, everyone else at ebay chickened out

I need some trick or treaters for my HH.

Condone this, and can't stress this enough for new resellers. I think thats where a lot of the newbies go wrong with listing big exclusives first with no or little rep. Part out or sell minifigures till you built a solid rep and work your way up.

The Craigslist and Shopgoodwill gods have been shining on me this month. In the last week or two on CL I purchased Hogwarts Castle 4842 for $40, 98% complete with instructions, probably needs about $5-$10 worth of bricklink to make 100% and an open box w/ sealed bags Black Pearl for $90 along with a box of other Pirates of the Caribbean that appears to be most of the sets smaller than the Black Pearl for $20. Bad thing is those sets are glued and no instructions, good thing is looks like most if not all minifigs are there. I went a little deeper than I wanted to ($130) on a Shopgoodwill 30 pound lot that was showing some decent Star Wars, maybe a dozen minifigs and some plates. After a cursory dig I am at 50 minifigures, over half of which are Star Wars and the lot is very clean, probably no cleaning needed.

Not that hard. Ralph has sold more than 4000 displays over the past 3 or 4 years. Once you get a system of packaging and shipping down, it is easier than you think.

Just compare. No words needed.

Anyone find that Irish people are ignorant gobshites when it comes to ebay feedback? I've only just started selling, so small sample size, but I've sold 13 items in the last 6 weeks. 3 to Irish people, 10 to abroad. I have 9 feedbacks from the 10 foreign sales and 1 from the 3 Irish. Grrrrr, it's especially worse when one of those Irish buyers is the ass who keeps bidding one cent on each of my auctions. Rant over.

in terms of SW and WMV - it comes down to classic supply v demand. WMV historically has not been in high demand, which is why Toyworld still has stock and its on sale. SW wasnt stocked in retail till about a month ago, and has been in high demand (selling as high as 180-200+ over Xmas). I would assume that unless Toyworld gets a massive load of stock that it will sell out before Xmas and again sell for well above RRP. WMV will eventually get to 200+ but it may take a while as it will be competing with SW as well as the new Winter set coming out later this year. One plus for WMV is the Carousel which pairs well with the the Fairground themed sets (although a standalone Carousel may be released in coming years if the theme takes off). To summarize, short-term there is money to be made with WVM if you get it on discount, but long-term SW will beat it hands-down especially since it has a lower RRP and is much more popular seller on LEGO Shop at Home.

76040 Brainiac Attack Rare is it that I put together a set I bought two days ago. But, you've got understand - as a 42 year old man, who has always loved Superman , this set is the bomb. It's got Brainiac with an awesome looking ship. In person, this thing looks menacing. Then you have Superman. And more importantly to me, Supergirl. Supergirl! I never thought I see her as a mini figure. And add Martian Manhunter to the mix - another character I've loved forever. This set is pure gold to me. Can you tell I read a lot of Silver Age DC Comics when I was a wee lad? Anyway, a winner all the way around in my book. Tough to get a discount on this, as it's a Target exclusive. I'm thinking this standing next to the Lex Luthor Power Armor is going to look pretty cool.

Today I had a chance to sit back and put together a couple of sets from a lot I bought recently, 6243 Brickbeard's Bounty and 7623 Indiana Jones Temple Escape. Enjoyed building the ship, although it is very similar to the current Brick Bounty set. The Temple Escape recreates the scene from the movie well, but lacks the WOW factor for me...

I'm not sure if anyone cares, but Ecto-1 is back at US S@H and you are able to add it to your cart.

Are we taking bets what day they run out of Winter Soldier polys? ☺️

31039 Creator Blue Power Jet. This was a brilliant building experience. The little details, like using the 1x1 slopes to make the seats are clever. But the wings are ingenious. A hinge is used to connect the two main pieces together which are then filled in with angled plates. Love it, highly recommended. I think this set will be a winner.

I don't even really care if a submission is a great investment or not, I want a great set, and this maze thing is not it. Amazing creation, I couldn't do it, but what are you supposed to do with it? You can't admire it. You supposed to play with the little ball? While I knew it wouldn't be passed the Minas Tirith desperately needed to get made. It's a main setting of the LotR franchise and Lego didn't make it, really disappointing. It's like having Indiana Jones franchise and not making the Holy Grail scene, oh wait.

The most stupid Ideas set ever... I cannot understand who can vote for such set, if there is a lot of perfect custom sets made by fans... The Ideas is the only one opportunity to have lego sets which AFOLs are dreaming on, and we waste this opportunity by such simply set, which can everybody build from standard bricks. The Ideas is perfect opportunity to make licenced things, which dont have their own serie within standard lego sets, as Ghostbusters. There is a lot of perfect movies and characters, which could be great as lego sets, and which dont have chance to be a standard set. I cannot understand why people vote for Birds, Labyrinth, etc, which can be easy build based on custom instructions from bricklink. But nobody can build sets like Ghostbusters without figures and special parts.

That is one of the most ugly things I have seen. That being said I'll enter once per day to try and get one to flip.

Hello everyone, been lurking for about a week now just reading posts and enjoying the community, but only made one post so far. I live in the Midwest (Ohio) US, and I'm a 32 year old Software Developer. I've been playing with legos since I was a child, and currently have two children that are also lego enthusiasts. My 9 year old daughter loves the Friends sets and has been eyeing the Elves sets lately. My son is 5 and he seems to be drawn to the City sets, especially the ones with police in them, but his favorite right now is the cargo truck (60020). Last night we put together some Ninjago sets and he's loving those as well. We made a youtube video to introduce ourselves to the Lego hobby world, hope you enjoy:

I have an offer for a brand new sealed town hall for US $450. Do you guys think it's a fair price for investment? The price goes up a lot recently...
