I called 8675309 and someone named Jenny answered and asked if I wanted a good time. I said no way I let her build my UCS Slave I. She hang up...

there is a 15% off coupon floating around . Need to get a hold on one still

HAUNTED HOUSE!!! Certainly they'd have plenty for Halloween.

I can't believe that I got selected.

whether or not you meant to leave the L out or not those fok's are some of my best customers. curious to see if my amazon preorders ship .

Is it just me, or have sales picked up a bit in the last few weeks? I always surmised it was kids off to college and spending money outside of their parents watchful eyes.

Haunted House was everywhere at Halloween... at the regular 60% markup.

You took a chance on someone with 90% positive on 90 feedback score (BEFORE your neg). People often say the feedback rating is useless, but in this case it is working as designed

cancel the sale stating the buyer asked you to. Assuming all communication was through eBay if the leave a neg eBay will remove it.

Back to buying retired LEGO via Mom's number on Craigslist.

Well this booster pack explains the Gauntlet level and check out that Spy Hunter car! If only there was a minifigure scale edition of it.

Don't recall anyone else discussing this, so I apologize if this is old news. Has any seen the traveling LEGO Americana Roadshow that's currently on tour at various malls across America this year? It's currently at the Riverchase Galleria in Birmingham. I only had time to snap quick iPhone pics of 4/9 attractions, but I plan to go back Labor Day Weekend with my camera for a complete documentation.

I've done a few 20's with no issue when limits are 99 and full price. If its clearance I've bumped it up some as generaly theory is they are trying to move product. yeah no way it holds once full release but 18-20 is feasible for people that don't have LEGO around and don't want to order but 1 set without making a $75 order for free shipping through LEGO Shop at Home they figure 10 + 6 + tax is about 18 so they will go for them even if in stock

Got the 10228 Haunted House last night from Amazon that I order maybe 2 weeks back. The box was opened previously. The seal was tampered with so I opened it up to check. 2 bags missing from 21 bags (1 bag 2 and 1 bag 3). Lego is shipping the missing parts to me after I gave them a call. I couldn't get myself to return it after HH made so much money for me this year. After talking to Amazon on chat, they gave me 30% off. I may end up building it in October then sell it after.

All new and in US funds, unless noted. 75919 I. Rex set - $190 A Series 1 Black Mixel for $15 (a little lower than I wanted) 6278 Enchanted Island - $100 used 60064 Arctic Supply Plane - $120 and I didn't know that I had this listed that low, my last one 3315 - Olivia's House - $90 cash sale 10187 - VW Beetle - $800 cash sale, goodbye my friend

Based on a real life Odeon Theater and LEGO's own in the Town Plan set (from 2008), this expired Ideas submission has a nice art deco styling. Odeon Theater

Thinking about putting a set of doors in sideways on the top floor and pretty sure rooftop dragon.

And just like that, you creeped me out. I think I need to take a shower now.

Somebody already made it move.

Picked up 82 of these and molested them in the privacy of my home. Unless my feeling skills have declined, I got ONE Wacky Witch in 82 packs. Someone must really like witches in my area.

So just got back from Legoland and they had several RE on the shelf, I visit nearly weekly and they have had hardly any JW but this week they had quite a bit! So the seal codes were.....drum roll 20R15 ...... still shipping out the old sets! They either had them for a while and didn't put them out or Lego is still getting rid of all its stock! I picked up another 4!

Only had one coupon for TRUTH, so I picked up my first Ultra Agents: Ocean HQ (thanks to dcdfan for twisting my arm) & 2 GS: Swarm Interceptors. All for under $85, after gift card and before rewards.

So where's my award? by Tyler

I loved that movie as a kid, it is highly underrated in my opinion.

Goodwill is a charity, but, at what point do you draw the line? If I had received an equal value lamp, should I just try to sell that to recoup my money? The auction site does allow for returns if the item is SNAD. Which is what this came down to. Yes, I could have accepted a refund down from $225 to $111 (the difference in the two auctions), and then made an attempt to recover my costs. But what if I wasn't it in for the resell opportunities? Then I'd be stuck with a whole lot of stuff I didn't want. I'm not asking for anything outside of their rules for playing on the auction site. I'm just asking them to play by the same rules that they agree to play by.

Sold a 21303 Wall-E for $91 + shipping on ebay. After fees, etc, made about $29 profit =~ 57% (+ TRU rewards). I was gonna put this story in "what did you buy today", but I sold it too quick... 2 days ago, I was at my TRU where I met a fellow BP'er (I think). He looked like me... walking back-and-forth in the Lego aisle... looking at his phone... so I said something like , "Hey! You look like a Lego collector / investor." He confirmed. I said, "Do you follow Brickpicker?" ... he said 'yes'. I said, "Me too! I'm Ken-triple-x !" And he told me his name... but I didn't quite hear it correctly. Sure I could've asked again, but I felt maybe I was already giving off a bit of a 'weirdo' vibe.... introducing myself that way... is this guy even really a Brickpicker? ... or is he just humoring me before he calls for store security? So anyway, I let it go... then I saw what he had in his hands... "They've got Wall-E here?!" He said yes, this was the last one, but he wasn't too sure about keeping it... looking at his phone some more... he then offered it to me. But I said, "Nah... I think I'll wait on this one... not sure that I really need to buy that right now." So he put it back on the shelf and walked out. I stood there and thought about it for another minute... decided to pick it up with my 20% off coupon (out the door $51). Wasn't sure it'd be a good flip right now, but thought we might build it at home. As I was going through checkout, I saw the mystery Brickpicker going back to the Lego section again (maybe he, too, changed his mind)? Anyway, I got home, and saw prices on ebay and... "flip, flip, flipadelphia!" So ... thank you mystery Brickpicker... I owe you one.

I got the 'winner' Bat Pod email too! I think all the Canadian winners were emailed yesterday. We shall see what happens.

I think it must be a printing/ production issue. Not a build issue, but I guess we will find out for sure once LEGO releases a statement.

Mk II will retire first so probably the best investment as far as the technic line goes.

4645 Harbour for 120 euro excl. shipping.

Yeah... everybody at Lego will have a leave-ban for that period.

Depending on what the issue is, they might be worth more! Also, there are some impatient fok out there who just want to have it and are maybe not aware or care about any issue.

$5 rewards, 10% TRU cc, and Raise GC for a Big Bang Theory today from TRU. Comes out to like $50 after WA state 9% tax. My mom loves the show and is coming to visit in a couple of weeks, so my son will build this with Grandma. :-)

They changed the Rewards program this same time last year. You may remember they converted banked points to the then new $5 = 125. I think this change has more to do with Synchrony taking over the funding of the rewards program for CC holders and not TRU then the use and abuse of the existing program. Thus the program is now more on par with other CC rewards programs that synchrony has with other retailers. I don't think Synchrony was up to giving out $600/month no matter what you spent and inadvertently closed the free unlimited points loophole. Perhaps we can actually get modulars from TRU online once people use up their rewards. Time to adapt, endless earnings to the rescue. I think I just heard that tree fall.

This is basically what I am doing.

When I say I love classic cars, I really do mean 'classic'. I know LEGO is blocky by default but still to see a beauty like this as a large scale model would be something alright.

I'd buy a sealed case right now for about 210 to 220 if that includes relatively reasonable shipping. 2 years from now a sealed set would be worth around 180 to 200 if the market holds up at current rates. That would leave 2 complete sets, 1 complete simpsons (5 family members plus 2 pets), plus a handful of others to sell individually. I don't think you could lose money on it. A complete set of simpsons series 1 is almost at 2x from original RRP from last year. I've managed to cherry pick 2 sets of simpsons series recently, one of which we opened for our collection, and am trying to complete a third complete set, but need a few figures to finish it. Regardless, i'm sold on the simpsons lines. I think there will be a 3rd line sometime, but not sure it will go beyond that.

Made a slight mod, not too extreme.

Sooooooo......is the RE going translego?

it is not that drastic

Given Manhattan real estate values, Disney could build a SSD for less than it would cost to buy Manhattan. As an added bonus, they wouldn't have to deal with DeBlasio...

Let's talk about scale for a minute...

Not really a set alternate but interesting. PIMP my LEGO Classic mini with classic space mod! ! by Massimiliano Valentini

Just got the TRU pre-order and the box is HUUUGE (like Trump says). If the MSRP really is $49.99, its a steal. Time for some QFLL action.

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.
