I was weak... just ordered 3 of these.

That box doesn't look damaged enough for you to buy.

Lord Business???

I made my first sale, and it was a QFLL sale too! Flipped an Airjitzu Ninjago Flyer I bought at retail (9.99) for $19.99.

Most recent Batcave for $185 CDN shipped on Amazon. Figure I made $60 profit off this $80 purchase less than a year ago.

Unfortunately, this set sucks. There...I said it. As cool and collectible as the T1 Camper and Mini Cooper are, this set really cheezes out. It really should be another 400-500 pieces. If you are going to redo a classic car, then do it right. Sorry LEGO, this one is a fail.

I made exceptions today. 10% off with the Merlin Pass. It was a pristine box, not use to that in my collection. Stands out from the other misfits lol tonight will be damage shopping

We're dumping the kids at grandma's house this afternoon. I'm not saying anything else, though.

My wife called me the other day and said she got an email with a 25% off coupon for Legoland (California). I was busy at work, so I couldn't grill her for details. But my mind immediately jumped to "dang! What exclusives do I want to pick up?" Thoughts of $300 DSs danced through my head (among other sets that I would be carry back to the car). About an hour later, I call her back, and she breaks the news to me - it's 25% off a ROOM at the Legoland Hotel! Don't toy with me like that woman!

I got a couple things, some is 20%, some is 25%, really odd, but it worked with the 10%.

Loved the premiere of season 2, just wanted to hit the Imperial March on an endless loop on my iPod. I know we have the new movies coming out in the next few years and the product line for this year has already been unveiled, but I'm really hoping they put out more Rebels sets - especially the blockade runners and command ship used by the rebels. How about a minifig of the grown up Ashoka? Maybe a new Lando figure? Lots of potential on this show, and the teaser for the season showed Rex making a return. W00t!

Only one Mixer for me and it finally shipped a few days ago. Saving my funds for other non LEGO expenditures.

Picked up 2 today 23R5, guess another batch coming , haven't seen that new

Well, I guess we'll keep hoarding those VW Campers.

He means that he's one of the worst people in this world, who straight up scams people by complaining about poor packaging.

This is awesome. That V8 engine is a nice touch, I am glad they go into details.

Agreed! The only reason I bought this set is because of the pic you posted sometime back with Smaug on top of T. of Orthanc.

Architecture. If it weren't for that damn MBS, I'd have every one. But I just can't justify the cost to complete my collection. And modular (of course).

Single set of every Mixel produced up to this point. I think the first series that I will have every single set is Scooby Doo.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

I have come to expect a few nicks, dents, and/or creases when getting sets from Shop at Home. They are either poorly packed (though not as bad as TRU) or manhandled by Fedex by the time they arrive. Overall they aren't terrible, but I did get a Red 5 last week that looked like it had been sat on so I called customer service and they setup a return and replacement for me.

It was produced and distributed by Warner Brothers, but I'm betting LEGO retained the rights to the toy merchandising. I highly doubt they are paying WB a fee for the license, but I don't know for sure.

I just used the 25% code today on the Arctic Icebreaker with no problems. I do have a TRU credit card and I used the coupon last week on the same exact set.

Managed to resist myself, been a bit busy at work due to the summer season and all, so my mind has been elsewhere. Almost grabbed some Mixer's, but sold out while i was hesitating. Still might grab an Ender set for personal collection though...

It's ran the course and retailers no longer want to carry the LEGO Movie theme either. The CMF's have been the best investment from this theme to date, but they are also the first to disappear.

I've never gotten free stuff by doing this (I just return wrecked lego boxes), but is it a scam if the packaging really is terrible? I've had hundreds of dollars in new, formerly MISB sets arrive wrapped in brown paper only (no shipping box), to give just one example.

That steering wheel sticker is a bit off centre! Positives: A few unique parts that will make it hard to bricklink (rims and windscreen), price point (from a buying not a reselling angle). The main positive will be if it pushes T1 into retirement. Let´s see...... Negatives: I don´t see it having great reselling potential as it is a little too much playset for the liking of the AFOL market. It will also probably have a long and well distributed life. Hope there are some more Ferrari Technic models in the future.

Something is a bit off with the model. I wanted to scream YEAH, but only could utter eh.. Perhaps they should have gone with a budget for $120 set instead of $90

Yep, I definitely don't like it.

Is there such a thing as a mixel big shot?? And if so how many mixels does that require one to obtain?

Dang where have you been?? Haven't seen your name pop up in awhile!

I have some non-plastic Lego* * not actually made by Lego They are metal and chrome plated. Desk toy basically. The clutch power is abysmal though

The asking price was around $425 and I redeemed ebay Bucks which made it around 325 and then with 4x ebay bucks I will be getting around $33 from that - so I feel like I paid around 300 even though the total came to just under $425. I really have wanted the set and figured waiting any longer would just mean a higher price point so sooner rather than later. And I think I will treasure this set just a little bit more because it's a special purchase/treat for myself.

how exactly did you get it for free,when you complained they just let you keep it?

The board as such looks okay/good but some more design would be great. I like the minifigs, but the fact that everthing but the pawns are totalle different characters is a minus for me. Of course you might remember in time what is supposed to be what but it would make more sense to chose the same/similiar minifigs for the same position as it gets confusion over a game of chess if you suddenly cannot remember who is the knight and who is the rook. Also according to their actual "power" it seems a little bit off that C3PO for example is a rook. All in all it's still nice and YOU have to like the concept of who is representing what, not me, so I guess that's allright! ^.^ Would have been cool if you added some minibuilds on the sides.

We have all the CMFs even though we only got back into LEGO around series 10. I bought all of the series we missed and have been giving them as gifts for birthday/mother's day/etc for almost two years now. We like waaaay too many themes to try and complete anything else though I'd love to fill out my UCS collection.

It is sad watching them go off into the sunset. I spent too many hours running around collecting them. But, this is truly the EOL phase, and now, I think is when quite a few people (not all, but enough to make it many) will stop and realize "woah, that was actually cool, I should have bought one". It will be interesting to see if there is a jump in these by the time the holiday season rolls around. I suspect there will be a bump, and all the lotr/hobbit sets will start to jump up in value. These were fun to collect, and only a few sets I didn't really care much for.

...and any old-school ABS sets will be that much more valuable. Don't sell those HHs yet. I don't think LEGO is spending a billion to find biodegradable materials to "[force] you to buy more." One of the chief selling points of LEGO is it's collectability/value retention. TLG knows this. You buy more because it's desirable.

Other than TRU, Lego B&M, and a few small secondary chains, these seem to only be available online, which means they are stored in major retail warehouses. I'd expect them to be around for a little while longer, but this is a big sign that the end is near. I also think because of their limited release, that 3 or 4 years from now these 4 battle of the five armies sets could have a good resale value. I'm pretty sure the witch king battle and the lonely mountain could do well. Lake Town Attack and the Battle of the Five Armies may see only slight increases, but you never know. None of these sets have seen any sort of decent discount yet. Lonely Mountain was about 20.00 off in March, but that's the lowest i've seen. Amazon has sold them for 125 for a while now. Even still, all 4 of the Bot5A sets have great minifigures in them. Everyone always talks about Smaug, but the LM set also has most of the key main characters, other than Thorin.

Not to mention, that ventilation shaft was too small...even for a targeting computer. And don't give me anything about womprats and T-16's either. Here is how I imagine this set gains popularity: 1) Dad takes 6 year old child to see the new movie. 2) Child LOVES movie, so Dad and child visit Lego Store for some sets. 3) Kid is focused on Kylo Ren ship or something new, but the Dad is thinking "Holy s****, look at these Legos! If only they had a really cool X-wing or somthing". 4) That's where I come in.

But Minecraft and the Ecto-1 are perfect little sets to reach broad audiences... Themes that will appeal to AFOLS, teens, kids... Prices that can also fit budgets by pParents, grandparents. The reality is that these giant sets aren't sure fire winners (though I would bet they do just fine) and LEGO already has their own product development pipeline way out in front of what we see. Small sets would be far less disruptive to that process... And far easier to get to market quickly before interest in a Cuusoo/Ideas set wanes.

Well there goes the Lego/legos secret.

no they do not stock these at walmart stores. They do sometimes ship large sets like that with a label slapped on. Most try to buy in case packs when buying the larger sets to try and get them shipped in a box. Some members refuse to buy large sets from walmart for this reason.

I think a technic would be better from a build standpoint. Much more interesting and fun to build imho. Creator may be better from the resale point of view.

Episode 4/5/6 Star Wars!!!!

I voted for Monster Fighters (hard to beat the Haunted House IMO) but would have voted for the Winter Village if it had been a choice. The Winter Village is the one area where I will buy the new set each year as soon as it comes out and not wait for a sale.
