Lucky I looked at this box on shelf back when I wasn't collecting star wars (still not collecting star wars) but after seeing the new tie fighter. I have the urge to get that set, this set, and the first ucs x wing which I think looks better and ucs yoda. Just cant seem to find a deal worth while on this set sadly. But good find mate anyhow bought a few sets 10247 Ferris wheel 10241 Triple E 10234 Sydney Opera House (Bought this a while back let it set at the po box for a few months) UCS Tumbler All of the speed champion sets Ghost Buster ecto 1 (I thought I bought this one I checked on brickset and brickpicker and it said I had one looked through my entire house didnt find so bought another one :/ ) Exo Suit (surprisingly nice set after I built it I liked and actually displayed it, I really bought just because it was cuusoo) 10196 Grand Carousel (All I can say is finally) (Paid $700 US its used with box and instructions didnt think I could find it for any cheaper and gave in) now all i need is statue of liberty :L (When I started look at this set it was $500 Used and $1000 NEW what happened (rhetorical question))

Just came back from TRU...

Local store had 50% off lowest clearance price today. Haul 1: Haul 2:

I got another package from TRU yesterday with 13 Rocket Raccoon polybags instead of the Dinos. It could have been worse, but it should have been better.

Here are some more pics of Comic Con, specifically the Lego booth, too.

Daughter built the grand hotel from the what did you buy thread earlier. No QFLL'ing that one (unfortunately). Took her about 4 hours

This is the important link:

I welcome this. It gives us small timers a chance to swim with the big fish. Of course, the truly dedicated will get their hoard regardless of being able to buy through SAH.

Love this!

still pretty easy to find around here but they do sell so why not just in case

Bought 75900 Scooby Doo Mummy Museum Mystery and 75901 Scooby Doo Mystery Plane Adventures at Comic Con. I couldn't resist them, even at full price. Just leaves the two most expensive sets for me to buy, which I'll wait until I can get it on a some sort of discount.

I was really bummed when they said no new trailer. But that behind the scenes stuff makes up for it. I'm all in, just seeing how much they are doing non-CGI, I am pumped. Couple of minor spoilerish stuff in there but nothing too serious. Seeing Han, Rey, Finn in the Falcon though? Man.

sold some bulk lego and minifigures out of the trunk of my car (literally), at Target, if I had a TRU in my town I could have done even better

Here is the part.. http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=53070 Only came with one set... http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=8811-1 In the future, search for the part # on the piece (it's printed very small near the LEGO word) and enter it into the Bricklink search. It usually finds the piece... I found it by browsing the Catalog->Parts->Bionicle piece listing.

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

Around 15 accounts!? I am sorry, but that is practically begging Lego to ban you.

Sold: batch of 20 mixels series 1 to 3 for 160€ 1 x 70006 for 100€ 1 x 21110 for 40€ could be worse

Congrats! You did very well in my eyes...

That looks great! The Alien itself is awesome but the way the blood is done really makes it, that drip and pool effect is brilliant.

I dread books about minifigures. Just take my money please.

I believe so. I forgot to check the tag. They had two others, but i forgot to photograph them. I will tomorrow. I really liked that one. It was a bit steampunky. I do remember that it said Feb 2016 release date.

I want the headless horseman!!!

Yeah noticed that. Ordered one along with a Milano and some small stuff this morning. Missed out on the Milano during the Big W drop zone sale as I want one to build. 30% off is OK though (if the order gets fulfilled). Bonus Retro Pirates set is nice either way

Dol Goldur Battle is out of retirement and on backorder on Lego SAH Europe at 30% off.

To help our fellow European BPer friends out, can you share a few things about your buying habits at SAH? Did you just barely go over the limits or was it something severe like ordering 12 Pet Shops in a single order? I think we're all wondering how strict Lego is being during this recent wave of bans.

Investment strategy? When I started the investment/flipping side of things I got a seperate paypal just for Lego. This way all the funds were self contained and if my hobby was paying for itself, I could buy whatever I wanted without the wife freaking out. So...my current strategy is sell $100 worth of sets I probably shouldn't have bought for $200 (or as close as I can) and then buy an exclusive with the proceeds. I must be an addict because every time my paypal balance gets respectable, I buy more lego. I will eventually hit capacity of the closets at the house, but until then....I'm trying to load up the account so I can make the bigger quantity purchases.

$95 for a Sith Infiltrator ? I can put that money towards better sets Also, the buildable Grievous is $35, Vader $30, Obi Wan $25, and the rest $20. Obi Wan's cape costs $5, more than a CMF pack

He got those as Gallimimus Trap substitutes from TRU.com.

You sir.... have some serious connections!

new goodies , unfortunately daughter claimed some of them quick. Guess I do owe her for summer warehouse work. Kids are expensive these days!

Item(s) you recently purchased "rate your purchase" Target emails. If I didn't rate the 1st one I purchased, I'm not going to rate the the 2nd one or 3rd one or 4th one or the...

I'm tempted to actually drive to the LEGO store (~2 hrs) with my son to purchase this day 1. He loves Ninjago and this would be a fun experience / memory for the both of us. I'm not a Ninjago fan but this might win me over. A great marketing and strategic move by TLG IMO.

so as with the previous case i went magnum PI on this mofo and finished the file to hand off to the cops today. when the officer rolled up and got all the info he needed (neatly typed up with videos and pictures attached) he proceeded to enter the stuff into his computer in the cruiser. as he was finishing up the unbelievable happened. crackhead walks by right behind the cop car wearing the same shorts and flipflops. the cop didnt see him but i did trough the cams. omitting all the juicy details of the swarm of cruisers at the crackheads house (six doors down from mine) he was in custody in less than 5 minutes after i received the case #. this must be some kind of record. though im not sure if he actually lives there or just went there to hide, but now im a little worried about some kind of retaliation. I guess ill have to keep the "camera" loaded by my bed side...

As long as the product itself is well packaged and arrives in good condition I doubt anyone really cares about the shipping box. Is it more "professional" to use a new, fresh, box ? Sure. But again as long as adequately pack your set , you should be fine

I always dismantle first. It's the only way that works for me.

Finished building my $16 Town Hall from last year. Was an Amazon return and had been built before. Took a some time building but came out good. The top right is missing a piece as I just dropped it. Fell on a shelf and couldn't find it. Deal with it later.

All iron's are flat man. Cmo'n

Lol, this never ceases to amaze me... Had a Chima set new and unopened listed for $20 on a local Facebook group (about 400 pieces). No bites. I had a small stack of four of them. Opened two of them and dumped the Lego in a gallon bag and listed it again on Facebook group. Sold for $60. "Less than 8 cents a piece!

Finished up The Tumbler tonight. Book 4 Book 5 - Complete This thing is a beast. My son thinks it's a big toy, but it weighs a ton and I'm going to have to get it in a case soon.

Finally built the sticker-EEE wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though. Looks great as a display piece.

Have spent the last 18 months slowly ordering parts when I had extra money in the pp. Finally finished it today, no substitutions. Never built a modular before, it's really much nicer than I expected. Was thinking I would sell it but maybe not...
