All I got to say is SACK ALL THE ISD's!!! They are still out there, but not many are left. Tomorrow should be ISD day!

finally got some bricks to work out the ice cream shop some more... here's an update - still waiting for a double VIP/xmas promo pick abrick order to finish the last floor.

Ok, so I'm posting this for Lego Rules since he inquired. Everything I ordered shipped... I'm too embarrassed to say the exact quantity, but needless to say it was over 10 each of the Exo, truck and train... and they all shipped, so there seems to be no rhyme or reason to Walmart Ban Hammer like Lego.com...

This story reminds me of one that was on Reddit recently, where a package went to Swaziland instead of Switzerland.

Ok, well maybe you are not cool enough I will looking into it now. But it should be there

I would rather be in HI as well. Snow is coming

Take pics or a video? I didn't take any video while going about it which is good as it would need a lot of editing because of all the foul language I was using. I'll take some pictures of the final product later today.

Death Star Troopers have joined the sold out group.

You need to upload tracking through eBay, better yet purchase shipping through eBay and it will upload automatically. For any item under $750 if tracking shows delivered you should be covered. As the buyer has already contacted you I would call eBay and let them know what's up. Also if you shipped USPS don't be surprised if the item gets delivered in the next few days, sometimes they get ahead of themselves with marking packages delivered.

possibly for only 3.99

My air packs from Target came with seal codes 40R5.

My curiosity got the best of me today and I bought the 6085 Black Monarch's Castle that has been sitting on Blinq.com for the past few weeks after they lowered the price dramatically. I'll be surprised, but pretty happy if a NISB set from the 1980s arrives at my doorstep for $400.

Recent Posts widget is back on main page. Looked to be a conflict with the Groups app again and I have notified the developer of that app to see if they can address it.

Kids don't buy, parents do. I think LEGO still moves inside of a safety zone. Also you have to take into consideration that most sets are priced in a normal price range from 10-120. That's how it's always been. More expensive sets are out there too, but PR or BB or DS is not an everyday toy for everyone but either collectors treat OR the ultimate present for kids. (Or maybe just another present if the parents have enough money ;-)).

Has anyone else noticed that when you add either the Kwik-E-Mart or the Simpsons House to your LEGO Shop at Home cart the system automatically adds three free packs of The Simpsons series 2 to it? It looks like LEGO is trying to reduce their stock of Simpsons CMF, since using it as an incentive to move the Simpsons sets seems unlikely. At least I haven't seen any mention of this before.

Ok their tech support is looking into it. Looks like that EX1054 error and that Latest Posts widget might be related. For now the widget is totally disabled, so the error will hopefully go away. I will let you know when I hear something.

its especially prevalent in the govt jobs, except everyone there does nothing

I shouldn't need to point that out, but you are being ridiculously serious here and shouldn't take anything written in this forum as 100% serious facts. I sometimes like to write in exaggerated ways as do many others on this forum, that's my point. Investing into this set is still something I am serious about though, even if the "Buy now! At least 10!" was me being exaggerating (which I though would be obvious enough for everyone). It's not me deciding who buys how many of these. Any big investor who has the money and believes in this set will end up with probably more than 1-2 though. Anybody who doesn't have that kind of money to spend won't buy 10 of these anyway. SSD has been a winner (although I still personally do not like the set that much). Even if emazers himself told you to buy 100 of these you probably wouldn't have. And buying more than you can handle would be the worst advice ever. If you believe in this set as I do, then I think there are many things speaking in favor of it. I'll be getting at least some for my personal portfolio. Many here have pointed out the Cons and Pros of this set. Seeing how many people are thrilled about this set even coming out makes me (personally!) think that this will be a winner. Facts against this set as investment: 1. It's expensive and if it backfires it backfires heavily. (so don't buy too many if you cannot afford it or invest in other sets that might be more promising --> modulars/star wars as these have proven themselves to behave relatively (RELATIVELY!) stable thus far) Yes I agree the Ecto-1 is more iconic, cheaper, saver, and probably more people want it because of the price and size 2. The franchise isn't as big as Star Wars or other movie franchises and the fanbase is probably way smaller. Thus kids also probably won't grow up to adults that absolutely want THIS set if they can have others... why? because it's "ONLY" been two fairly good movies (for that time) that many here find ridiculous though (it's comedy... they are meant to be that way!) and several animated TV-Shows and Games... Can't beat SW for sure but it's comparable to BTTF 3. The Set itself isn't that overwhelming for the price. (Which is something we do not know yet as we only have seen the exterior thus far!) Facts in favor for this set as investment: 1. It's expensive! Less people will buy it in big quantity. If it really does appreciate the steps it will take might be pretty big ones (like SSD for example, being a set that is in the same price range) Real collectors and fans won't care too much about it. And yes there are Ghostbuster fans and collectors and there will be Ghostbuster fans and collectors in the future (at least I'm pretty sure of that even though I cannot prove it). 2. The franchise isn't half-bad and almost everybody knows the catchy song :-P But seriously: The Franchise isn't half-bad! I can imagine somebody coming up with GB in the future again (as they have done in the past... more so than with BTTF by the way!). 3. The Set is pretty accurate when it comes to the design of the exterior. It includes really great minifigures! (I guess you can possible sell them for around 100). I'm betting they will include a fantastic interior with many nice details and hopefully even some printed pieces. But I'm sure that for the price and piece count the interior must have a lot of nice details and an overall satisfying design. If the interior is dull: DO NOT INVEST in this set PERIOD! So all in all I'm pretty sure that compared to the Helicarrier this Set will be better suited for my tastes. What's the Helicarrier? Some random not so important battle station mostly known from the Avengers franchise. You can't even add it to your LEGO town. It's mostly just a standalone piece. 4. GBHQ is a standalone piece you can nicely display (and it will be a guaranteed eye-catcher). At the same time you can include it to your LEGO town. So it is appealing to both: Serious LEGO collectors and other Ghostbuster-Fans as well as LEGO AFOL that like to build their towns. Probably it will even have enough potential to be desireable for AFOL hat create MOCs. 5. Not only the price point but also the two totally different perceptions and evaluations of this set will (probably and hopefully) make it less hoarded. Last but not least: If you seriously take any advice from any random stranger on the internet without questioning it you should not only reconsider your investment strategy. (Only to make this absolutely clear: This is not aimed at anyone in particular!)

Price match now goes both ways ;)

It's a White Castle crossed with Baskin Robins!

I haven't had a chance to play around with everything yet but best thing so far being the forum is fast again compared to the former version that was speedy for a while but in those last couple of months ended up taking an eternity to load the main page and some of the topics also. I spot the little bell dangling in the corner and soon as some notifications come in I'm sure it will be useful. Right now it's just sitting there and seeing it I feel like I should be expecting a phone call. Ha.

I'll come out and say I don't like tipping. I do it because that's the system we have, but I don't like and I don't agree with it. Pay your people for their work, don't make me decide how much money someone takes home on any given week. Most people *hate* tipping. It is of my opinion that most people would pay more for a meal if they didn't have to tip. Exactly. If you can't stay in business unless you pay your workers slave wages, then you shouldn't be in business at all. A server's ability to eat and pay rent shouldn't be dependent on the mood of the restaurant patron. I don't understand this logic at all. Your customer is paying either way, they either pay more up front for your service, or they pay that money in the form of a tip. Why put it on the customer to decide how much your employees get paid? Also, doesn't matter if you're planning on being European or not, if another country has a different way of doing things, and it ends up being better for both businesses and employees, why not take a look at that and see if we can benefit from a similar system?

Finally got around to updating the messaging center on Brick Classifieds. Today we pushed new updates to finally have decent looking area to view, compose and reply to messages. It is a little easier to navigate. We will be addresses a few other rough looking areas in the near future as well. Please let me know if you run into any issues when communicating with a buyer or seller.

Amazes what people can build from Lego

Who you gonna call? RE-SELLERS!

I like what you did there on top with the parapet. Also using the furrowed bricks is gives a nice effect. Probably you used grey bricks because you have them otherwise I would advice you to use white bricks instead of the grey bricks as I feel that pink and white harmonize better.

Just an FYI, eBay gets angry if you leave positive feedback with a negative comment like that, and much like Dr.Banner (or hxckid) you don't want to see eBay angry.

Believe me, I would be upset too. It's super annoying to me and must be even more so for the user. It will all be straightened out this week though. Features will be back, it will look better, be usable. Brickfolio pages will be updated next week hopefully with the addition of adding in sold profit numbers and stuff. So good things finally coming, I just need to make sure the data issues are sorted out. I had to let it run over night, that is the hard part, you don't get to see everything you need to instantly. I will really dig into it all tonight when I get home from work.

Thank you for your hard work. It is much appreciated.

Even better suggestion!
