  8. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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

  16. 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.

  23. 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!

  28. 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.

  29. 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.

  30. I'll take it out and inventory it this weekend. I do that with all sets I get from AWD, no matter if it's for investment or for personal use. This is most likely going into the personsal use category, so I especially don't mind the box condition.

  32. Yeah I got denied at TRU this week after getting denied on a Louvre purchase last week; quite the block tease. They will likely hold it for you if it happens though.

  37. As I am awaiting the 7-10 day period for TRU to sort out one of the mysteriously disappearing balance gift cards, my buck was limited today. If I'm not getting coupon + TRUTH 10% + discounted gift cards, then I'm getting cheated at TRU.

  40. A great day at TRUTH! Was able to snag two Wall-E's early for an average price of $49.35 using a $10 reward, 20% off one regularly priced item, and TRUTH 10% off. I'll probably sell one and build the other. Then, I found 3 Galaxy Squad Galaxy Vaporizers (506 piece set) for $18.27 a piece. That was too good a price to leave them on the shelf. Maybe now I have a good starting point for a Shiptember build on the cheap!

  41. Someone at Disney must have relished purchasing SW after their (Disney's) entry into space fantasy, The Black Hole, failed to gain much traction vs. ESB at the theater back in '79/80. Maybe I'm just a big geek, but all is not rainbow's and musicals in Disney's world. The Black Hole was weird and dark--any movie with a robot voiced by Slim Pickens is all right with me... even if it's no astromech.

  45. The "witch" is a dressed up little girl that apparently took notes from Britney Spears and shaved her head. Scarier I guess. This set is pretty decent although I agree that the pumpkins could have benefited with some printing. I really like the use of the grass on either side of the steps. Haven't built with those yet.
