    Based on a classic age where tantalizing tales of science fiction and pleasing aesthetical forms of art came together to create a captivating concept of an alternate future utopia about ray guns, star travel, hulking robots, and invaders from beyond, these builds capture this essence of a "retro future" in all its delightfully quirky charms. While many if not most of the designs could hardly be considered practical or efficient by today's real world standards of technology and leisure, nevertheless much like a vintage car what matters is the look of the ride itself.

  5. Turning into a nice evening...
  6. Have built several sets in recent weeks, here are the latest two. I need to buy another shelving unit from Ikea now
  7. A used 4842 Hogwarts Castle for $250 plus shipping. 100% complete, with all 3 manuals, but no box. Bought on craigslist several months ago for $100. Sold on Bricklink, so no 10% eBay commission.
  8. 20% off exclusives in the UK, with stock available, would have been awesome too.

  10. Welcome to BrickPicker.com. My name is Ed Mack and along with my brother Jeff, we are the creators of BrickPicker. We would like to give new members...and some old ones, an opportunity to ask the "stupid" question. On many forums, the new or inexperienced members will get berated for asking basic or repetitive questions that many veteran site members already know. Well this forum is the place to ask that silly or dumb question about the site or LEGO collecting and investing. So ask away, no question is a bad one... Also, check out the BrickPicker FAQs before asking, it might answer your question. PS: To veteran and experienced members, I expect civil and proper responses. To new members, no spam please. Thanks...Ed Mack
  11. Saw a flat of Lego at my TRU today and looks like the Bricktober sets are similar to last year's. Sorry if this is already posted, couldn't find anything on my phone.
  12. Well, I dangled a complete wave of JW for 600.00. That included all 5 sets plus the polybag, and someone bit on amazon… Down to 4 complete waves remaining. Luckily TRU had a Raptor Rampage available today so I used a raise card, and got one back for cost. That's one less Trex set I got to deal with. I can recover the other 3 sets (IR, PC, & DA) rather easily.
  13. Yes, they updated it earlier this week. If you mean the tires (not wheels), then they are still showing OOS for me.
  14. I see... sorry with all the VW mess going on and this being the VW thread I might have not read 9516 in the context ^.^ thanks for the clarification :-)
  15. You're making three assumptions: 1) Everyone has access to a physical LEGO store who wants this set. 2) That every LEGO store has them in stock (and will for double VIP). 3) That people don't impulse buy on eBay. I only have physical access to one store and I've seen them with a couple on the shelves and none on the shelves in the last three months. That's a recipe for parking lot hotcakes if I've ever seen one. PS It is not yet confirmed that 2x VIP overlaps with any significant gift from LEGO. 2x VIP is officially October 1-4 (anything else is just a rumor) and the free Xmas train starts Oct 13. I don't count the free Star Wars poster as much and it may not even last until Oct 1st.
  16. Someone get these Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234 9/25/2015 9am to 4pm (Fri) 9/26/2015 9am to 4pm (Sat)
  17. Hit my limit for the week unfortunately
  18. Simply because they couldn't make it happen last year... and they can't seem to keep JW on the shelves during "slow season". Lego, by it's own admission (from one of those documentary shows) makes the vast majority of sales in the 4th quarter--mostly December alone. There are a lot of "balls" in the air, and some will be dropped.* *10 to 1 it won't be Star Wars.
  19. Looks like last in first out applies to Bricks and Pieces as well since I ordered right before they went out of stock!

  21. Haha, yeah, I wasn't sure before, but that's the one I returned. I believe Jerryherb told you to check to make sure the "jerk face" that returned it, didn't steal all the minifigs. Glad to see I'm not a "jerk face" ...at least for not stealing minifigs.
  22. At LEGOLAND California, at one point they had Series 12, 13 and Simpsons Series 1 out. They had so many Simpsons Series 1, they lasted a year there. I want to say they had both Series 1 and Series 2 available. They did better this time and ordered a lot less Series 2. They are gone and they only have Series 14 in stock now.
  23. Looks like someone is having a night of "beer building".

    Youde be a fool to return that Xwing.
  25. Oh man love it. Great and funny idea. Thanks for sharing
  26. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. You don't have to label them if you don't mind getting your stuff thrown in with mixed inventory. If you want your sets stored and shipped, they require a label, so they can tie the item back to you.
  27. So I'm in Asda ( our Walmart for you Americans) just picking up some odds and ends tonight, anyway in this random corner I spotted like several cases of series 13 minifigures, which looked untouched, and seeing as how they just cleared all the Simpsons series 2 down to £1, I figured I'd grab one and price check, long story short they were £1 each, so I ended up with 3 full boxes. Good random score.
  28. Yeah I think it all depends on what your looking to get out of it. I started as a collector, then moved into investing to pay for it. 90% of my portfolio is long term hold. I've sufficient cash flow to invest in Lego put it away and 'forget about it'. For me it will be nice in 3-4 years to able to sell a few sets and take the family on holiday. The collector in me wants to keep 1 of each of my favorite sets extra long term (10+ years), see what they get to, and probably pass them on to my kids. All my used sets will be boxed back up at some point and the same will happen with them. At some point if Ive had enough, I wouldn't rush out and sell all my inventory, I just wouldn't buy any more. The stuff I sell now, I offset on the lego i'm buying to hold. I've sold 5 RR this month which means the 2 I have left have cost me near nothing. I enjoy doing this, but do not consider it a career, just a hobby with benefits.

  30. Last few days have sold these to stock up on newer better sets (in my opinion) BTF x1, Spidy chase x11, helms deep x1, friends van news x3, riddles of ring x1, lr mine x1, mine craft micros x3, ultra build batman x1, lr stage coach x1, sw dessert skiff x1, cargo train x1, ninjago golden dragon x1, crazy sci and monster x1, galaxy squad titan x1, batcave x2, chi temple x1, kings castle x1, lr train x1, ninjago sonic raider x1, and some other stuff. Was trying to clear out the hodge podge to make room for sales and bigger sets I want to focus on.

  32. There are some large sets, but how many people really say they just have to have a replica of the Ghostbusters Headquarters? I'm not knocking it, just saying it is not an iconic building or landmark. Large sets stick around for awhile and to make this set one of the biggest in LEGO history is a bit overkill IMO.
  33. The piece count could work. The set could be highly detailed and finished on all four sides, unlike the Modulars. It could also have a super detailed interior. I would love to see it, but I have to wonder if there are not better models to invest 4600 pieces into.
  34. I'll actually be kinda annoyed if they make this. Of all the popular licenses Lego has access to, they choose Ghostbusters to make a 4600 piece set?
  35. I just have to say, I do reuse boxes some, but I do like having certain sizes of boxes, new, folded, in stacks. I hate searching for the right size box, since I usually pack stuff up after the kids go to bed. If I have an inventory of boxes in the right size, I can just grab a set off the shelf and throw it in the perfect size box for it's dimensions, tape, print, label and go, no searching necessary.

  37. I ended up buying one today for $100 at ToysRus with the GC's bought using Ebay GC's. And coupons. I have 2 and will be content with that. One to Build and one to sell. I just love the set for the Dragon in it.
  38. Was thinking today about the actual meaning of some of the language Lego uses to market its products and started to come up with a list. If anyone has any more examples or explanations, it would be great to share them! LIMITED EDITION (We will produce as many of these as we can until people stop buying them and to screw with resellers´ brains) RETIRING SOON (We have far too many unsold units out back due to pesky resellers inflating our initial sales estimates. Come on guys, buy them now so we don´t have to discount them) EXTRA VIP POINTS ON THIS ITEM (I thought we told you it was retiring soon. Are you dumb? Come on now, buy a few and don´t make us have to discount it). SALES AND DEALS (Ok, you made us do it. Take 50% off all sold out items and 10% off Chima. There, now don´t keep complaining that Lego is expensive - it´s not Megablocks. Are you a reseller or something?) VIP REWARD POINTS (Like any addictive substance, this will make you keep coming back for more and more from us. And as with drugs, when you pass away, there will still be some left in the system) EXCLUSIVE (These products have a high PPC count and are usually not available outside the Lego web for the first 3 or 4 months since release. After that, anyone except the riff raff at Amazon can sell them) ARCHITECTURE (These products have an even higher PPC count and are so expensive that we actually need the riff raff at Amazon to sell them. Mainly bought by adults who live in mansions and employ domestic servants to open the box and sort the parts for them) CLASSIC (Our designers have better things to do than dream up new sets all day. Here, take these random bricks and make your own stuff). IDEAS (When you get good at CLASSIC, send us your best models and we will put them in a shiny box and sell them to greedy resellers for you. (See LIMITED EDITION) RETIRED PRODUCT (You won´t ever be able to buy this from us again - unless it is a XMAS set or we decide to unretire it). SOLD OUT (Resellers, we are mocking you! Is it retired or just out of stock? You will be making long car journeys and spending hours on the net trying to make your number - enjoy your weekend!) TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK (This item has become more popular than we estimated or those pesky resellers have been at it again. We will probably make more in a few weeks time so be patient and buy Chima in the meantime) CALL TO CHECK FOR AVAILABILITY (Laszlo from the warehouse says there are none left down there but the computer says we have a couple of boxes more. I think they are in the boss´s office but he is in there with the secretary so we have to wait a while till they go out for lunch to check)
