We are working on a Daily Deals feature to help build new ways of keeping up with the deals. Keeping the Daily Deals all in one thread has been great. Sure the thread will get big, but based on feedback, we have 200+ members getting responses daily. One of my pet peeves for the daily deals is that members post great tips and tidbits but on most occasions, never post a direct link. What we would like to do is continue to enhance this system to give credit where credit is do and reward people for putting in the effort. If you look at the editor, there is now a yellow/orange dollar sign button for posting a deal. This will display a window where you can post the link to the deal. The link is the most important thing. Don't worry about affiliate codes or anything, we will take care of that. Just post the link. If there is a price and percent savings, please enter in those values. Don't need to enter in dollar signs or percent signs. We will work on getting the format correct. What this will do is go out, grab the title of the item, a photo of the item (for most popular stores, may not work in all places) automatically for you. Also, it will insert the information into a separate database that I will get into shortly. What you will get is an entry that will something like this. This example may not be an awesome deal, but for those that are great posts, you can click that and it will count to give that poster some credit. Over time, we will be able to see who is posting the most deals, who is finding the most awesome deals and find ways to thank them for helping everyone benefit. As I mentioned earlier, there is a new page on the forum http://community.brickpicker.com/daily-deals This will just display the actual deals that were post. Kind of summary of what products have been on discount or in stock, etc. Again, we will come up with more identifiers and filters, but for know we just want to start testing the actual system and see how its working and fix up the design. The more that people use this feature, the more we will be able to do to get you the deal the information in different formats. There are a lot of directions we can go in when the data is stored like this. Next week, we will most likely have an update that will allow you to pick a country that the deal is in so that you will be able to start filtering out deals via country, or retailer, etc. This feature is available in any forum, it is not just there in the Daily Deals thread. You can post a deal anywhere. We will also have a searchable feature coming that will allow you to search the current live deals and just insert that deal and not make a duplicate one. Hopefully you like the start of this. I feel it come become something very cool for the site. Thank you

This weekend: My last Family House for $98 shipped on eBay (loved that Target sale last winter), a Logging Truck for $57 shipped on Amazon, a few more Winter Soldiers ($17 shipped, eBay), and a "retro" pirate in a box. On a side note, I didn't post on this thread for most of my first year because I felt it was too much ego. Here's why I changed my mind: it's helpful for other BPers to know how much sets are currently getting. Thanks to everyone who contributes to the community.

THE ISLE OF BERK

I read this thread so I can get annoyed by how much people spend on Amazon for items I sell for much cheaper on eBay

Wall-E for $114.95 on amazon. Person lived 2 states away and shipping was under $6. Santa's Workshop $119.95 also on amazon.

And here I am wasting my precious time trying to find out people's opinion on retiring/EOL sets

Yay! I just received a confirmation that I won! Happy Monday!

besides the daily deal thread, this is the most useful thread on brickpicker. sometimes i even hesitate to post on this thread because inevitably it means more competition, but all of our investment futures in plastic bricks are somewhat stuck together so sharing info is useful. lame pun totally intended. from your post i know its time to start selling some Winter Soldier's. also heads up - you can still find the Logging Trucks for $16.99 at stop and shop grocery stores in the northeast. snagged 8 in rhode island on drive back from cape cod last friday.

Picked up my very first sealed CMF box! If you check out the price tag, they had no intention of opening it.

I very much appreciate the time people take on here to list their sales. Recently sold various 3 pack tribes of Mixels series 2 $33 Willis Tower $48 Forest Police Station $92 30271 TMNT polybags in bulk for ~$5.25 a piece 7065 Alien Ship $49 (slow sellers but at a buy in at $15)

Yes, and just sold an Olivia's House for $110 and I'm buried on page 3 of the seller list.

Bla bla bla, SOH, bla bla bla, MSC, bla bla bla, PS bla bla bla. There - all done, I mean poofed.

Found these at my local WM also but the system wouldn't let me buy them.

Terminator T-800 life size model

Built WALL-E today - he looks awesome and I like the orange/yellow brick colors. As previous reviews have stated the neck IS a problem and mine will crash forward with slight touch. Thankfully LEGO is sending replacement parts for the forward leaning part. Unfortunately his head still swings around so I created a fix for my model - I know it won't be popular and I am not suggesting others do this - but it worked great for me: I put a tiny piece of scotch tape around the end of the technic pin which creates much more friction and now the head can look to the side and up without turning and facing backwards. In the end I am a little disppointed the set was released like this but in the end I am OK with my fix and the new parts coming will be interesting to see....

Just picked up a Sea Cow from AWD

This is the very reason I don't mind posting here. Amazon LOTR: Orc Forge - $98 Dragon Mountain - $85 Mars Rover - $155 Star Wars Y-Wing - $135 Friends: Olivia's Newborn Foal - $27 (horses are still alive) LOTR: Shelob Attacks - $68 In the past, it has been better to post as a lot and cheaper to ship. I see the price creeping up on Amazon for Two-Face now. I may send the rest in for the holiday rush, rather than lot'ing them out until they are gone on EBay.

3 Zombie Businessman, 3 Plant, and 5 crazy scientists per case. Zombie businessman is one of the harder ones to identify. Crazy Scientist is pretty easy once you find the beaker, which is fairly easy to identify. The plant guy has one of the larger heads, and if you find a bag with a large head, it's either Squarefoot or Plant guy. Smooshing at first is quite intimidating, especially when it's a brand new line and it's your first round. But once you know what you are looking for it becomes relatively easy and gets to the point, where you can just grab a bag, and be Carnac as Magnificant and instantly know by the first touch of a head piece, or the accessory. I think I could pretty much hit an entire case, and have it identified within 15 minutes at this point. I've already smooshed through about 100 monster bags so far.

Unbelievable. I say it every time a MOC of this size is posted and it's that I'm amazed at the creative ability of some people out there. I could never do this with an unlimited supply of Lego. This would actually make a pretty cool theme for Lego to work with. Might have missed the window on these movies, but they could have made some cool dragons and buildings from the movies.

Was at my local target today and on the shelf was 3x 75104 (Kylo Ren's command Shuttle). I went to check out and the computer gave the don't sell till 9/4. The cashier called over the supervisor over and the sup apologized and said they couldn't sell it but they could put it on hold for me. I said no thanks. On a better note, I found in the clearance section 70010- lion chi temple 40% off and 70006- Cragger’s Command Ship for 70% off.

Isn't it? The system denied us too... but these folks REALLY wanted my money, unlike TRU. I asked for nothing, but they bent over backward to make the sale from the moment I hauled it all to the counter. Yeah. Without asking what was in the back, lol. I honestly think it was employee ignorance. As above, the system wanted to obey its Lego Overlord. Then we won't discuss the extra discount for waiting around an extra 40 minutes for them to figure out how to sell them to me... Just smile and act baffled, folks. It works wonders sometimes! Sadly none of these three sets impress me. Cody is OK, the red on the TIE is pretty cool, that's about it. If I was Ultra QFLL they'd all be gone by now (and I'd probably be in a Billund jail by next week). But who's complaining?

Walmart - always unpredictable!

For those that missed out on this set, don't worry, it will be back in a few years.

FYI, clicking on the view deal button from your summary page just takes me to Google. It also appears that it does not pull in details from K-mart, I know you said some retailers may not work and they might be one.

Even though the Falcon set is the most expensive of the bunch, i think that will be the one most sought after. It will have the most likely "last" version of Han if you take my meaning. That alone will drive this up significantly after the movie. Obviously, the sets with Kylo and Phasma will be the next sought after simply because of being cool villains. Honestly, after seeing what Hasbro is bringing to the table, i think ALL of them will do well overall. The Hasbro ships are terribly scaled and are made of rubbery plastic that warps and are expensive for what you actually get. For example, the Lego Poe's X-Wing blows Hasbro's out of the water in every way. So while some may be slow at first, i think every set in this wave will do well in the long haul.

I was away last week so didn't get around to checking on the transfer. Every last US cent I transferred from PayPal showed up in my RBC account! Sweet .. too bad the dollar is so crappy right now (traveling to the US next week for work) but maybe it'll turn around. Wish I had discovered this about 2 months ago when I transferred a much larger sum of US dollars to my CDN account. Ah well.. live and learn.

My 5yr old son loves HTTYD, the 2 movies and episodes...would love it if Lego had license to create some official sets. Sorry to say but the licensed Ionix brand sets are pretty low quality. The creator did a great job on the MOC.

& just why does it happen oh-so often when you're frantically trying to get that panic order in asap on something crazy that you know will s/o in seconds! ARGH!

Similar happens with the TigerDirect & TRU websites every now & again, I've found that if you remove all previous cc information on your personal account info, close your browsers, run ccleaner (from Piriform) to wipe the cache/cookies clean & then try again (without saving cc info) it usually works right away. good luck... ;-)

Those poor people can't even feed themselves.

The red female hair piece can sell for 3 or 4 bucks maybe. The rest just pennies really. Might as well let the kids have them.

Many thanks one and all. I will try to keep finding more of these remixes as they come along like this classic space train. 6990 Redux by nolnet

The two that I know of are brickficiency and thebrickwizard. Google either and their respective site should come up.

My favorite thread.

I never picked up on this thread either. It's awesome. Definitely some great revisions here.

Just incredible...I would love to see this in person.

I'm loving these posts, Orc. Keep them coming!

Here is a fresh article covering a uniquely artistic new part some are dubbing 'the curlicue'.

Well this builder has already come up with some nice MOCs using these monsters. Up To Their Old Tricks Feed Me! The Cheerleader

Hey flipping them without question was my intentions today, but I tried to get them to override and they wouldn't do it. Take the money and run. Star Wars fans can be fanatical with unleashing their cash to be the first in line to get something.

I was in a walmart today, and they had a fresh case of force awakens black series. Had all 5 figures, including 2 kylo rens just sitting there for the taken, so i grabbed them all went up to the self-checkout and it rang up "can not sell item, please sit aside". And here I thought it was my lucky day, but obviously their IT group is smart enough.

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

Even better... we all should gather and sacrifice our stash of this set to Legod. We can burn them all together in a ritual. p.s. You can start without me... I will be a bit later

A new article covering (almost) every single possible color LEGO has created and used (or not) over the decades in this very thorough color chart reference study. Sections of primary interest are the detailed timelines for certain colors and also detailed dissections for changes over time so slight who would have noticed without direct comparisons. There is even a little bit revolving around the near bankruptcy the company faced forcing them to shape up by condensing the hues and parts used almost right down the middle. It's a short read actually but the information is indispensable. Color Timeline by Brick Colorstream
