  1. "Dear sir, Today I received the post, Found that the blue one figure has damaged, Too bad and upset!" Not to take away from your disappointment but I don't have a "blue one figure" & after doing a search of your user name, I've never sold you anything...

  3. Who knew LEGO's Microfighters 'chibi' style would have inspired a new breed of builds? (Or how about this CUUSOO submission from a year before LEGO unleased the Star Wars Microfighters upon the world.)

  5. Didn't get a curiosity when it was available sadly but just picked one up for $40US with box and instructions. I wasn't really looking for the set but it seems significantly cheaper than sold ebay listings and could see myself wanting this in the future.

  6. I bought 5 ToT like 3 weeks ago at my B&M. Went in 2 days ago to buy 5 more and she said that they show they had sold me 5 and I couldn't buy any more. That's a first. Talk about pissed. I can see if I came in and bought 5, walked around the mall and came back to buy 5 more. Or even the next day. But 3 weeks later? That's a pile of BS. Especially on a friggin' $10 set.

  7. another 12 Santa's Workshop's in 12 separate single orders from target.com this morning. single orders prevent boxes from getting smashed like they always do on multiple orders and also getting to load up on boxes and bubbles. they've been in and out at least 3 times this morning. Up to 57. Going for 100. Not selling any this year unless we enter 2.5x MSRP territory.

  9. That's a little like asking a poker player if he/she is bluffing or not... I really don't know. If they come back next year, selling at Xmas is a great idea because the margins won't look that good again for some time. If they are EOL, which some signs point to, then hold out because the biggest bump may be later. It's a gamble. Hedge your bets and sell half, keep half?

  10. As a big Indiana Jones fan I'd like to share these with you! 1. Indiana Jones in Egypt by Brian Darrow (Link: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/153258 ) It's BIG, has got some nice details and that's that... sadly! As much as it has got going for itself more details would have made it an awesome MOC in my opinon. Like this is just a big (and very nice!) MOC. 2. Golden Kings Temple by Michal Kazmierczak (Link: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/379974 ) This is awesome and you can see why if you compare it to the first one (just to be clear about this: The first one is still very good and nice and a lot of work!). You get A LOT more details and hidden scences (and I didn't include everything here, check out the link for more details!). The structure of the ground is much better detailed and you have more variation. At the same time the level of detail on almost everything is pretty high without putting too much focus on just one thing. You can let your eye stroll around and discover new and interesting things everywhere! You'll need more than just one look to check this awesome MOC out! Check out these nice little (hidden) scenes! Also the level of detail almost everywhere! See the variety of the ground? I love how the golden dragons are used as detail for the door. (Did you even notice them at first glance? I didn't) 3. Mecha Indiana Jones by M<0><0>DSWIM! (Link: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/157281 ) The next one isn't as fantastic as the one before but it's still a nice creation. It's difficult to come up with these kinds of builds and I think it makes a good addition to this MOC Highlights of Indiana Jones. 4. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom by Sir Nadroj (Link: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/58987 ) This one is an eyecatcher just by itself. It also could easily be part of a big scenery. Especially the bridge is interesting here. I bet we all remember this scene :-)

  14. Here's good thread to read through for lots of info on bans: http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/9997-lego-bans-open-discussion/?page=16#comment-496442 I've been banned now for a few months. Like you i didn't see any red flags myself, but they saw something obviously. I never bothered calling because i am a re-seller after all As for what exactly is banned; I've yet to determine that (there seems to be discrepancies between each order they cancel/let through). However i have made many purchases after my "ban" with some pretty good success rates so far (albeit on different accounts). Not everything gets through, but enough.

  15. I stumbled across a local college student on Craigslist today. He had purchased Kylo Ren's Shuttle and the First Order Transporter. At the same time, his brother purchased the same sets as a gift for him. He had already opened the ones he bought, and the gift from his brother didn't contain a receipt so he couldn't return them. Obviously, he's a poor college student and looking for extra cash, so I got both for $80!

  20. I figured they would have simply went with the current Doctor of Peter Capaldi but to also include Matt Smith is a nice boot for the set which looks great. Interesting how different and more streamlined the Daleks here compared to the Cyberman Dimensions pack are. The Weeping Angel is not bad at all as does "the impossible girl". The hair chosen does seem a little big but still looks nice for her character. Honestly though more than anything, I just want the blue box. Haha.

  21. not only a tru exclusive, but you get a poster and figures at retail (before coupons) as opposed to jacked up prices if you were to buy them separately at same establishment.

  22. Yes, open a case and ban this buyer. If you want to make buyer's life difficult, report to eBay that his account might be compromised since per his own admission it was used by someone else while he was incapacitated. Yes yes, I know I am evil like that

  24. No avoiding this with best offers but for other listings you can make the listing immediate payment required. Hear me now and believe me later, this will make your life much more enjoyable not having to deal with non paying knuckle heads. You might lose a few sales but the hair added to the top of your head and the months added on to your life will make it worthwhile.

  29. My son and I completed our bricklink'd Super Star Destroyer. Love the build, and the size is pretty impressive. If I had one gripe, it's that the mini-figs cannot stand up in the faux-bridge they included. To pose them, you have to leave the cover off. To store them in there, they all have to be either sitting or laying down. I substituted a handful of internal parts due to cost, like the yellow right-angle brackets that cost around $5 each. Total cost was under $400 spread out over a few months (to avoid the wife radar), but we still need to buy 2 of the 5 mini-figs. The exercise of finding the parts, maximizing the orders, inventorying and sorting, and then finally building, was a VERY worthwhile and fun project. Almost like an archaeological dig of sorts.

  31. January is still a busy season for retail as many people receive cash and gift cards for Christmas. This set is primarily targeted for collectors anyway, so they will buy it no matter what month it is. I think Lego is facing production capacity issue and earliest they can push this set out is probably January.

  42. Been moving the $1.49 SW magnets (blow out from LEGO Shop at Home ) in sets of 7 at close to $5/ea. I pad my shipping, so I will be close to 300% after fees. I bought over 100, I wish I had 300 more.
