The Gallimimus trap is now available to purchase for shipping or store pickup at TRU.com for those who like me were not able to find it in their stores during the promotion.

Sir this post is good enough to bring me back from my sabbatical. You rang ?

I found and bought the tumbler at target for $140 dollars the box was opened but everything is still there so I was stoked about that.

It says right in the listing that they aren't genuine LEGO so who cares if it includes 8, 21 or 500?!

in for a couple hundred last night, separate orders, listed as In stock on order status, so may have beat the horde for the skeptics, read my polybag selling thread from Xmas. I sold 200-300 xmas tree polybags, and good war stories/learning if you have never sold polybags its a dinosaur for $4, there will always be meat on the bone for a $4 lego dino

Not really the best thread to discuss it (sorry to interject guys, I know I`m long winded sometimes ), but honestly I really think most anything StarWars will gain some kind of growth in interest (little to a lot depending on what it is). I really think most anything, with some exceptions, is fair game for investment at the right price. Iconic sets from the previous trilogies that have a lot of recognition should do very well. Sets like R2-D2 last year will be a big hit come Xmas (he already is, but you get my point. If you`ve got these, hang onto them). People have got to decide for themselves what they will invest their money in, but my opinion would be investing in anything from the original trilogy (4-6) and the new upcoming sets for Episode 7 would be an ideal place to start. Also, consider, Episode 7 will introduce Starwars to a whole new generation of kids, as well as reignite the fanbase of the parents and those who grew up with StarWars and who want to share that interest with their kids. We`ve never seen the StarWars universe presented the way it will be for the next several years (the advances in CGI for example, as well as having 3 films together, combined with 3 more spin-off films). It`s arguably the most recognized franchise of all time, with only a couple of others that you could put alongside. That kind of exposure creates a hugely diverse market to appeal to, people who connect with different aspects of the films as well (different sets and products). What I`m getting at is, you really aren`t going to go wrong with 90% of Lego StarWars sets or other merchandise at the right price, and if you know how to sell it to respective buyers. There`s tons of money to be made, if it`s got the StarWars logo on it and has a part of the upcoming films (specifically Episode 7) or previous trilogies (4-6), someone will want to buy it. I love that ravenb99 bought that entire box of Magnet sets, those are fantastic items. They aren`t big UCS sets, but the gold here is in a higher ROI per item. Little things like that if bought at the right price will do very well later this year. Just look around, evaluate the items/sets/price-point, pick something(s), and go with it. Should do just fine.

This is a funny thread. A buddy of mine recently moved. As he was cleaning out his attic he came across his childhood lego collection. He knew I collected lego and offered a trade: I help move for a few hours for his collection. I still have yet to get through it all but there is a number of classic space,town and lego land from the late 70's to the mid 80's. I even found some of those red windows and grey wheels from the 60's in there.

I didn't think about how I'd be releasing the horde when I posted last night. Luckily I had already placed my orders. One store pick up was cancelled completely. Another was reduced to 2 from an order of 10. And my order of 25 to be shipped says items located in stock, so hopefully they'll be coming. Unless TRU does like Lego and its LIFO. I'll be heading out to pick up my 2 just in case...

Chances are it's for 21 .. but those are not real LEGO. They are genuine fake, knockoff, crap.

They had thousands left yet I didn't get a free one last week.

glad to see some positive attitude back. Almost like finding Beauty in Negative Spaces.

Hope you can turn all that into a profit. I personally stay way clear of City and common Creator sets unless they are 90% off errors on ebay!

thanks guys glad to be back! Put Star Wars and a Jurassic Park (World) exclusive poly together and I get goosebumps! I just bought two brand new absolutely completely mint ucs vader tie by the way. There are only 3 listings left on eBay at the moment that are brand new sealed and if it does not get replaced soon these will take off. If they do get replaced l can crack one open build and display the other.

I'd say a day of building. 2 days of shooting and 1.5 days of editing. It's hard to actually calculate the amount of time because I'm doing a number of things throughout each stage.

In for 200 i bid 500 quatloods for the newcomer

It's like the extinction event 65 million years ago all over again...all hail king Trek!

I have word from a friend that this guy I know bought 900 of these. sounds like he is trying to do an Extinction Level Event on these. Can you imagine the type of person who buys 900 of these ? Wish I had those kind of resources his moves leave me in awe. If I could do that with all the star wars stuff I am stockpiling I would be in sweet bliss.

Trek is back!!!

I'm in for exactly how many posts I have. Cue the balloons or something.

Surprised no limit on these. Usually something lame like 4. Oh well I'm happy...

Thanks...always nice when TRU puts up promo polybags after the promo ends and doesn't put any quantity limits on them.

Maybe a disappointed spouses forum? There are some wives here! I'm a lucky one, though. My husband is far from disappointed. Welcome to the forums, nuggets.

Welcome! You've come to the right place to help make your wife's worst nightmares come true.

How about giving $1 donation (to Make A Wish) when asked and then put $1 on cc ?

Yup, added to my block list. Nothing but trouble.

Panthro: "And keep your foot off that blasted samoflange!" Lion-O: "What the f*** is a samoflange?!"

Now remember, Bold-Arrow has received empty envelopes before from TRU. Well, they had the packing slip in them.

And you're basing this statement on what exactly? Based on my experience, this statement has no basis in reality. I've had TRU adjust an online order when they didn't have enough stock to fill it, but that's the only circumstance when I've had that happen. If you've gotten an alert to pick up items at a store, you should be good to go. I've ordered items for store pickup and had them cancelled because of no stock, but I've never had a store say they had something ready for pickup and then not have it when I arrived.

This winter I missed over 200 free Plastic Man polys by a day. The dude said he threw at least that many out the day before. Yes, I went dumpster diving... to no avail. A few days ago I scored a freebie at TRU. V-wing was on the shelf, scanned as 0.03. Clerk's eyes went big as she radio'd a manager, who came and said they can't sell it to me so I could just take it. TYVM.

I purchased an exclusive item off Bricklink from another country & I was offered 2 prices for shipping so I told him I'll take the higher price assuming it's for a box. The package arrived in a soda 12 pack box. So irritated...

The majority went in large amounts seeing it was online with no limits so think it will be in less hands then if they had been in stores. Sure were not down here in quantity in store

He said with a devilish grin...

GONZO

They definitely messed something up... Price for the Avenger Tower shows as 59.97 in the main listing and it doesn't show up in the sets on sale page. It's coming up as 59.97 in my cart though.

The seller choose to save $5 and 5 min of work - let him/her know that there are consequences for sloppy work.

what the hell is taking so long.

Purchased a Tower Bridge to store in the basement and hopefully put together with my kids someday years down the road

yes classic $20. Grabbed 11

Welcome to Brickpicker!!

if it makes you feel better I could try and lowball you on it so you'll really wanna keep it

A very wise member who has been dormant of late once told me the force will be strong this Xmas. In preparation for those stockings this holiday season.

Even though I have done this on several occasions before, my local TRU (Mass) gave me a hard time last week requesting 10% discount with CC partial pay of $1.00 + coupons, GCs, etc. The cashier said she could get in trouble for doing it and called her mgr. over, after debating with the mgr. for about 5 minutes, she finally said yes (begrudgingly), I wonder if they will eventually close this loophole at some point ? Personally, I think it's silly and very short-sided for TRU staff to give loyal, HIGH paying customers like myself a hard time about this in efforts of potentially saving 10% off of one transaction vs. alienating someone who drops thousands of dollars at this establishment, honestly, if it wasn't for being able to stack coupons with discount GCs, CC discount etc., I probably would never step foot in a TRU store as there many other places for me to get LEGO deals.....okay rant over, sorry !!!

The yellow wavy flags for mustard is genius. The upside down criss-crossed window in the jukebox speaker? Sublime. Love it.

Wow, that is outstanding. Hmm...add it to the Fairground? It could stand a Hot Dog Guy outside. I will have to seriously consider getting these instructions and making this build. I really love architecture like this, so seeing this in Lego form is awesome.

The only real disappointment are the stickers in places like the circle tile on the steering wheel that should have been printed otherwise for LEGO in all its blocky glory this is rad. Only thing left to do now is pop some groovy 80s sounds into that cassette player.

​After seeing his post I thought "wouldn't it be cool if I checked CL because of his post and made a big score too and then posted about it. glorious!" so I went out an checked CL. Mind you, I havent been there for a long time. Pages of absolute reseller crap. Mountains of crap. Dump lots of crap. Selling NIB stuff that just released and isn't sold out. CL in my area is a cesspool of bad resellers. I am happy I was buying bulk before this happened.

​That´s why you need to bundle it with RI to put Amy and Bernadette there and throw out the RI minifigs! It could have been a cool idea to have made a modular of the building with the stairwell, broken lift and Penny´s flat.

Went to Wal-Mart to pickup some $7 X-wing Microfighter (got 5) and came out with a mint 9493 X-wing located in the general clearance aisle for $40. I felt like a kid again when I saw it sitting there on the top shelf by itself.
