Picked up some take-out tonight. They are already running some kind of cross-promotion with restaurants...

Today I found only one set, (not as many as LabFreak7) but I been looking for it for quite a while.... $150.00 100% complete, all minifigures, box and manuals.... Behold !!! My precious !!

It took me 3 days to build this thing, but the result is magnificent.

Got it all home! Probably just an ok deal but I'm happy. The sets were never played with, all just built and displayed. Having them all built and separated already is a huge plus. The black pearl is minty fresh. All manuals accounted for too.

Best lunch hour ever.. Got a GE, FB, f1 Ferrari, 4x4 extreme off-roader, mind storms nxt 2.0, and a few smaller technic vehicles like an incomplete 8263. All used lot- for $120 There was an estate sale near my job, and although I thought everything worth buying would be gone in the first 10 minutes/ to my surprise this stuff was still there. Now I always read posts like this with a little jealousy, since I am rarely this lucky, but it also is cool to find out what others are encountering out there- so this was my little story. All the sets were already built so this should be a relatively easy flip.

I got one of these today in place of 10 polybags. Worthless!

got the solo 75916 for a poly today as well also a padded envelope with 2 polys

Can you please pick up the 3 pcs of paper off the carpet and take another photo.

next up for 3 polys are these gems. Now we are not even on LEGO products anymore, just random things with Jurassic World thrown in. I can see how easy these are to confuse

It will be a Chinese exclusive soon.

Holy beep !!!!

Bought a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine and FINALLY, 4 Joker Bumper Car polys!

I got 35 of those...CS claims that's not even in their database...

You may notice this thread has been moved to the new LEGO Gaming forum.

I think it is more the stores are not restocking, than interest in the current sets. LEGO is going to clean house and replace almost all of the current regular STAR WARS sets (with the exception of Rebels/UCS). Because of the new movie(s), the typical production runs for STAR WARS sets may not apply. Some of the current STAR WARS sets might be gone after a year or so there might be some opportunities to make some quick money on flipping short run sets. I can't see LEGO or retailers keeping old, unrelated sets on the shelves.

You are wading through a thick pool of sarcasm. If you'd like to see what people are selling subscribe to this thread. Here is justapilgrim's ebay store

sometimes it seems like wild gorillas are the ones handling/delivering/stomping the packages.

FYI all, TRU stores in the Northwest have not restocked their Lonely Mountain sets for over 2 weeks now. If you have them in your area this might be the time to grab them. I purchased them for: $139.99-25%coupon= $104.99-10%TRUTH= $94.49-13% raise TRU GC= ~$82.20

So the Bricklink price on this fig is simply staggering. Was there a shortage of these exclusive dvd sets in the US? Or worldwide? I have a few put aside but was absolutely astounded at the pricing (yes these are in Australia dollars but still...)

75095 Tie Fighter. Great build and display piece.

dang you guys, I had to go count all my Gallimimus traps now

Got my JW poly order perfectly. Also my two UCS Vader Tie I purchased came in and look sweet.

yes - i think you should definitely sell all your 4 PS @ MSRP and get off this ride.

Ed, welcome to the dark side..

The coupon does say "regular-priced item" and I would think Star Wars sets at 20% off are not regular-priced by definition (though with the TRU markup, they aren't exactly regulary-priced, either!).

I was lucky enough to pickup another 4 at £97.99 in my area, seems like they've pretty much gone oos everywhere in the UK now. I also snagged a few AT-AT'S and Star Destroyers for cheap. Was a good morning

Red Five Argos – reserve and collect 3-4 days, £97.99. I’m assuming stock, so keep it under your hat, as soon as the hotdeals guys get hold of it, it will evaporate. There are a couple of other large SW sets with (probable) pricing errors. Order for collection on most, but there are a few in stores, which you may be able to pick up today. I suspect that any orders will be cancelled. But take a look in your local stores if you can get there today. 75054 AT-AT £58 and 75055 ISD £69 They're up on hotdeals now, so unlikely to last long.

It's just highly competitive here. Either resellers swoop in and grab it within 15 minutes of posting, call and offer more than an agreed upon price with someone else, or things are overpriced.

I want to play just the Doctor Who levels, and I can see buying a bunch of those Dalek/Cyberman packs. Oh LEGO, you win.

I think you did pretty well. Either I'm not good at looking or the Southern California CL is a joke. The lot you bought would have gone for $800 here and would have been listed for $1,200. People inflate things here. Kudos on the Black Pearl.

You suck. I'm going to go cry in the corner now. (That's awesome! Congrats!)

Sorry, 2 different SKUs. 36 pieces.

No sweat. I'm making a big MOC Ice Claw Mech to raid the closest TRU.

your accuracy was much better!

That wasnt how I packaged them up. ;)

Just as I told the crowds on Brickset, take away the figs and you have a Creator Expert Oriental scene. The Ninjago labeling is misleading about its merits and target age group if you don't inspect it carefully. I own 0 sets from the theme, however this is a 100% buy for me.

Maybe people are just anxious because they have many of these and they are taking up valuable shelf space. Not me of course.

Whoa, did not see this coming. Gorgeous looking set. Easily the best Ninjago set to date. Also, it`s great that Lego has gone all out with this, rather then come in at a lower price point with less parts/details. That would have been horrible, there is definitely something to be said about a large scale set like this. Easily one of the best sets they have released in recent memory, and the minifigures (12 in total!!!!) really top it off. Well done Lego!

Pet Shop's 'on schedule' retirement would be at the end of this year, not the beginning of July. It's a bit early for all the 'It'll never retire!' talk. Just sayin'.

Wow, this is a beautifully done set. It may fly under the radar for AFOLs because its Ninjago but it has modular scale implications. Impressive display, details, and 'curb appeal'. I see parallels to this set and how the HH was reacted to being ONLY a Monster Fighters offshoot.

The Future.

Yippee! *Ahem*

That is a great space saving tactic don't listen to the naysayers. You do your own thing. On a completely unrelated topic I do not mind buying dented and crushed boxes for personal, usually 35-50% off original retail of course, please keep me in mind when it is time for your big banged up, crushed and dented sale.

My approach was to get the different bump codes and then smoosh from the comfort of my own home. Then I went back and searched for the 4-5 I was still missing. I hope you did not open all of those because that is a bad haul.

Any in Ireland or UK know where you can buy these sizes for the larger Lego boxes HH, R2D2 Helm's Deep etc.

Can I sue Lego that I'm getting metacapal from smooshing?

And thus another smoosher is born. Welcome to the cult, er, club! ....One of us. One of us.
