Received a Raptor Escape from Wal Mart today from an order placed last week and it had a seal code of 09R5, so they're still shipping older stock.

Haven't we all?

August marks two years for the DC. Time for this ship to sink.

Personally, I like Jangbricks' reviews better as I think his reviews are more technical, comprehensive, and better articulated.

Lately Taj Mahal $1400 Cafe Corner $1000 Green Grocer $800 Town Hall $440 All used with boxes and Instructions 2 x lonely mountain for $230

Red five sold out at LEGO Shop at Home

2x Creative Tower 10664 for $175 together

I was doing a little searching around for some modular size Hall of Justice instructions and I stumbled upon this: Now my son wants me to build it.

The rough and "just out of bed" look is part of the appeal in my eyes. After all, we are talking about LEGO sets. No need to be formal or stuffy. It's all good fun.

I would prefer this guy: ...almost

Finished the PC today. Used the custom Star Wars movie posters. Turned out nice.

So... A: somebody screwed up trying to fix the exclusive tag. B: they forgot to add the check back soon note. C: I should have bought that one at the lego store yesterday...

Hah! Modulars really don't get played with in our house, just because they are up on my desk.(though I'm about out of space with the whole series up there) I have no problem swooshing a ship or driving a little car around the town when it's set up. Sets like Olivia's House are much more conducive to play with the back open.

Riiiiiight. I bet most here play with the "kids lego" when they go to bed. Swooshing and swishing... heh.

The Brick Show guys are 'your average joes' (that also are a couple of fathers if I am not mistaken) who review LEGO and for that I enjoy them over another reviewer whom would come across as a paid infomercial or some salesman. The 'growl' is a signature of their channel and overall attitude. If I had anything to complain over it would be the long lengths in some of their video segments which can go on for a while. For myself I tend to watch JANGBRiCKS because his reviews seem more to the point (aka short), he has pointed out some pieces of interest (rarely used color or part type), and his calm tone works well. Rarely have I watched any of his clips where he said anything was terrible really. Sometimes he makes suggestions that may have worked better but then reiterates he can see why they (the LEGO designers) did what they had. There really isn't a 'one is better than the other' speech here. It all is merely a matter of personal preference and everyone has theirs.

looks decent enough with the nod to mcquarrie and the included jawa. wish a tuskin radier / sandperson was included though. we didn't need a stinkin ewok. h

These models are quite good I think. Santa Maria della Salute, Venice Frauenkirche Dresden

If folk would raise the prices faster on eBay, it would do better even more - but the one off resellers are keeping the appreciation down to a crawl. Overall prices still slowly rising.

Buy box or not, it sells pretty darn well at Amazon and eBay. We're still in the slow season. Winter is coming.

SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Captain Hook by Markus Rollbühler

There's no need everybody in the world looks like a Wall Street banker. Interesting to have to point that out in a nerd forum...

Expected ship date of Aug 30 for LEGO Shop at Home US. In for 1

Trying to upload pics

I am going Hunting for more later sold 2 sets so far and basically paid for my 29 packs I still have missing a few for 3rd and 4th set i shared at my local store with a mom that was a collector I guess

No offense, but this thread is in serious need of housekeeping. It used to be for posting of Lego official retirement announcements, that was it. If this thread had new content, you could bet you'd be reading about retired sets. Yes, my post needs removed, too. Perhaps a mod can clean this thing up. We have many other threads to discuss speculation, markets, etc. I've actually been quite busy, lately, and haven't had nearly as much time to read and contribute to BP. But, I do check a few threads, including this one, just to track my portfolio and stay on top of market developments. Please keep this one on topic.

Another official announcement during D23. Here we go... the first poster

Finally, I can participate in this thread and not just watch from the sidelines. Made my first eBay sale today! A vintage era 6247 Bounty Boat for $28.50 CAD shipped. Original buy-in $0, childhood toy. Pretty stoked, haha.

I think it is quite chillaxing.

After PR only, but certainly before Tumbler. It can only go on dates that are prime number though.

Although I tend to agree with this statement, I've also seen companies that are flush in cash / capital do ridiculous and irrational things with their resources even if its just for branding or marketing purposes.

Got a box at Target today. Really neat minifigs. Smooshed all the bags and have the following: werewolf - 3 pirate - 5 scientist - 5 witch - 3 lizard - 4 fly - 4 ghost - 3 cheerleader - 3 lioness - 3 goblin? - 4 skeleton - 4 frankenstein - 5 business guy - 3 mermaid - 4 brown hairy thing - 4 queen/spider - 3

Red-5 sold out at LEGO Shop at Home.

In my experience, advent calendars are seasonal items. If you cannot sell by 12/1, you are basically stuck holding them for another year. Additionally you will be competing with the new advent calendars that have 80% chance to be better than the ones from previous years. Obligatory YMMV

This movie is buried in such mystery that there may be some amazing sets on the way AFTER the release. Abrams doesn't want Lego spoiling any secrets. That being said, my kids love these sets, especially Kylo Ren's and Captain Phasma's.

When do we get the next Ideas results? If the second set gets approved them we should see a spike in this set. I'm very comfortable holding this for a long time.

Damn I want a 10030 bad..

Wait aren't you Jason? Well since we know they are members here or at least lurkers it would be nice if I got a shout out in the next video I like their videos as they are entertaining, and if I was a parent deciding if I was going to buy an expensive set for my child, which I am not, I would think they would be invaluable as that seems to be the focus of their reviews. Stephen seems to have an obsession with the amount of mini figs a set has and I still can't believe he tossed that Sea Cow box in the ocean. Jason could use some coffee and a shave at times, come on man this is the internet. Do you think that will lure them out ;) I find Jangs reviews more focused to me as an AFOL and usually end up learning something from watching them. I hate when people leave rude comments on his reviews as he is taking his time to be helpful.

we need a UCS C3P0

Nice collection, but you NEED the Maurro and Wu dragons now - both of these looks awesome. And of course, the completionist in me says you need the much maligned Titanium Dragon too...

I see no problem selling this for $1k+ in 3-4 years but maybe I am just wearing sand green colored glasses.

Built this set a few days ago, has ground and flying modes.

Wicked...

My first post of the forum! I Built the Tumbler as well today. It's an awesome set and I think it will be a winner after EOL. On the other note, what do you guys think of this "Hulk" Liberty? Built this a while back with Bricklink + PAB wall using lime green bricks. My friends been making fun of it but I think it's pretty neat.

Imperial Shuttle Tydirium - what a great build. It looks phenomenal and the figs are awesome. I will be looking for this one on discount and loading up starting next year...

Although it ended up being only a concept car, I would like to see the Vector W2 make its way to LEGO form. Shoot even the successor, Vector W8, would be groovy.

I think a true minifig scale AT-AT would be superb. I guestimate it would be around 3,000-4000 pieces and cost around 300 of your american Dollars. It is in my opinion, the second best star wars machine (after the Falcon). I have seen a custom one on the net with instructions for sale and it looked very good.
