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 ?

In my land, they get seriously blocked.

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

Bummed TRU does not consider my operation a business I will have to wipe my tears with my haul of 30320s.

Bought an R2, the description said the box had damage, but the product was unharmed. The packaging was custom and might be worthy of the packaging excellence thread. The second #2 bag ended up being open with pieces rattling around the taped up box, but I think most of it's there. I either need to build it to verify or go through the instructions and see if I can check off the pieces I have. All in all I can't complain since it cost me an even $150.

You're only hurting lego, and true lego collectors buying these things. If you show counterfeiters that you're willing to buy from them, you create more of them. Don't support this kind of thievery.

5x Raptor Escape 75920.

I just want Tom Baker.

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

For anyone using gift cards with a purchase that gets cancelled, make sure you verify that the balance gets loaded back on the card. I don't know if Toys R Us is still having these issues, but its happened in the past. All I could get from them was a rewards certificate for the amount after many calls and emails.

We'll see, but, unless they release another batch of these and they become widely available, I think that these will be steady profit-makers largely because they would have only been available as a promo for one week and for purchase for one day. There may a lot out there, but I think that you are underestimating the market for a set that was only available for such a short period of time.

For those of you that are not able to use the July smartphone/printed coupon (found in Daily Deal forum) at your local TRU this month, and have to use a physical coupon… I have four physical coupons available for free: 1 available – 20% off one regular-priced item (no TRU CC needed) 2 available – 15% off one regular-priced item (no TRU CC needed) 1 available – Save $10 on $75/Save $15 on $100 (no TRU CC needed) PM me if interested and I will mail out in an envelope for free…

Happy to see you again, sir. Yes please. Something was missing around here. (not that this is the most negative forum to begin with, but....)

Up on LEGO Shop at Home (preview) for $99.99...

LOL.. in for 100eaX3 lets see if they actually ship them

Post of the month. All resellers should have some.

Yes, people need to really start looking at anything Starwars asap, if you haven`t already. Everything, and I mean everything will experience a boost in demand. I fully expect empty shelves (closer to XMas) and high secondary market prices beginning in the fall and continuing into 2016. You all should as well, if you thought Jurassic World or the Avengers made a lot of money (they did) wait till you see what Episode 7 does at the box office...

yes classic $20. Grabbed 11

So I was at one of my local WM in hopes to find some 75920 - Raptors Escape and ran into this and walked out with $2000 worth of damage in load 1. Heading back for round 2 to get the classic

Lucky indeed. I jest. My wife actually called from target and gave me the clearance update. Very cool. Welcome all!

Brick Classifieds has trades. But yea I miss the trade feature that was here too. On topic - today purchased a PS from LEGO Shop at Home, a PC from amz, and a $60 bricklink order for a 10210 I am slowly putting together.

We should start a disappointed wives forum.

Whatever does happen with getting a new DS which one is coming in 2016, This should not stop you from getting the 10188, Mark my word there will be chaos when this one is retiring which should be in 6 months or so, all its been out for 7 years and I didn't get any or maybe a few, like alot of guys on here say its a dud, to many people have them, etc. Just like some said it would take 3 years for the SSD to reach $700 and for other Exclusives to go up in price and missed a few good great money makers, Do you think I would have 56 of them if I thought it would not be a huge money maker, I have had 95% of all Exclusives and they all done great to huge money makers. So don't miss out on this set, It will be another set that you regret day after day like alot of you do for not loading up on the SSD,HH,TH,GE,AA, etc. Ed

Hot Dog Diner!?! Are you insane!?! I can see my Lego Hot Dog Guy minifigure running away from this place! It's a cookbook. It's a cookbook!

I ordered 2 sets of Series 5 Mixels from TRU the other day... 18 in all. They shipped in 18 separate padded enevelopes, all arriving on the same day. The Fed Ex guy gave me a dirty look (the poor dude had to scan each). Brilliant business plan, TRU. Brilliant.

Not hardly. I don't know why I am responding to this, perhaps to help the six people that don't already know, this show has two things PoP didn't: Fans and Quality. I got a little worn out on it 2-3 years ago but that doesn't mean it is not any good. In fact, I would say BBT, the Marvel movies, and Lego are the three driving forces in America making geekery cool these days. ​ ​You can borrow some from Lord Business and make it right!
