  7. 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...

  11. 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.

  14. 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.

  16. 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.

  24. 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 ;-)).

  25. 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.

  27. In fact down here in Quebec, the law doesn't at all permit such an error " in store or on internet " http://www.torontosun.com/2015/02/10/price-error-on-sears-website-angers-quebecers "So far, Sears has refused to change its position, saying that the mistake was made in good faith and was simply a misplaced comma. "Sears has demonstrated good will by honouring numerous price errors," said Sears Canada vice-president communications Vincent Power. "However, this error was exceptional." That stance is not shared by Quebec's Office of Consumer Protection. "Our lawyers believe that the merchant must honour the posted price," said OCP communications director Charles Tanguay." I've had similar issue with Archambault, worng picture for AT-At and Micro At-at .. and I've won 6 sets 129.99$ for 12.99$ since the picture wasn't the good one, just a few days after Sears error.

  28. Well the law makes sense to a certain degree - you make a mistake, discover mistake, make reasonable effort to inform customers. Obviously the last time is subjective... Online purchasing takes the traditional model of shopping and changes it all - you never interact with a person so no reasonable effort to inform of a pricing mistake can occur. Frankly, the law should be changed to you "you make a mistake, you honor it" but it will never be, because, well, politics.

  30. We are continuing to push updates and fix page design to make the browsing experience a little easier to find what you are looking for. We will have a few updates to try and make finding sellers in your are a little easier. We completely changed the look of the Shop Local page to make it VERY easy to find sellers closer to where you live. https://www.brickclassifieds.com/find/local/ Below you will be able to see how many stores are currently in each region and then you will see the Top Stores within those regions. Hopefully this will make it a little easy to find a vendor near you.

  38. 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.

  39. I do suspect sometimes that Jeff & Ed think "Why do we bother" when all we do is complain whenever they try something new I assume this is an update in progress. The UK prices do seem low. For example 10197 reads GBP203 USD380. I thought this might be a US price in £££ terms but it's not (380 / 1.53 is £248). I have noticed, something similar with other sets; 10193 & 10211 are both unusually down. I am wondering if the filtering of non set sales is not active. These lower prices do not correspond to what appears to be happening on Ebay UK. I agree with valenciaeric that putting back search box would be handy otherwise you are continually scrolling back and forward through pages. Time consuming if you are on a slow connection. When I used to hover over the graph points the price for that month used to pop up. Which was helpful. A last updated date would be nice (although this was not on the last version ) I disagree with valenciaeric in whether the graphs are useful. They are and I use them. I am missing the number of sales graph numbers graph. I am wondering if it could be combined with the Sales history graph to save space. Lastly, all the Amazon links say Amazon.com but each points to the correct Amazon site. This is particularly confusing for the EU sites that all use the Euro. All in all I think the new payout is an improvement on the old. It looks a lot less cluttered.

  40. I would venture to say that the US has had it good for a while now and that TLG are slowly trying to balance worldwide prices. 170 USD at an exchange rate of 1.12 USD/EUR brings you in line with the cheapest Eurozone prices whereas before many sets were at 1 USD / 1 EUR hence our endless moaning about preferential treatment as discounts also tend to be better over there. I think that apart from the RRP increase,it is the gradual trimmig of the latter that is making the product more expensive. However, it is supply and demand and if we benefit from it on the secondary market, TLG surely feels their product is underpriced on the new market. Perhaps when demand falls off and Lego becomes less fashionable, things will change but that would also be bad news for us. Higher new prices also make our inflated ones easier to swallow.

  42. I hoped for this thread to pick up steam a little bit faster but I'll try to keep it up posting my contribution to the castle goes to space contest in detail. After coming out of my dark ages I really wanted to build some MOCs, but due to time issues (you all might know these...) I just recently started to build MOCs. Thanks to the castle goes to space thread that Orkking shared with out I found the motivation to build my second and third MOC so I wanted to share them with you! As kid I always loved knights! Of course I also loved Space! So this topic is great for me. I always wanted to have Star Wars LEGO when I was a kid, but there was none. Only later the first SW sets came out and now they have plenty of them and they are all great! (These actually brought me out of my dark ages!). On the other hand I feel that the theme castle is being neglected but for the recently retired Lord of the Ring theme. (NEXO Knights might join castle and space... but I'm not really looking forward to what I have seen so far of it... but how fitting to find a castle goes to space thread here ). So what did I build? Here is my first contribution to this topic: It is based on one set I actually still own that goes by the name Royal Drawbridge. (LINK: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/6078_Royal_Drawbridge) After seeing Leopolds very impressive space version of Drawbridge Defense I didn't want to build anything too similar so I decided on another take (even though that might take out some of the "space"). In Star Wars the Rebels rely on camouflage and hit and run missions. A little bit like the protagonists in The Hobbit (you'll probably get the hint). So I built them an outpost on some forrest planet. The big green "walls" on the top are radar devices that can also be used as radar jammers in the closer area to keep the imperials in the dark. They represent the walls of the Royal Drawbridge. In a set like this I couln't find a satisfying solution to building the upper part of the royal drawbridge alternate version so I decided for a high reaching radar instead that is well fitted for space communication. (And also allows us to see that this is more than just a pile of dirt or a fallen tree there in the woods... even though it is well enough disguised so the imperials won't notice). The drawbridge itself is now a secret entrance that serves as entrance/exit for a speeder bike. With two more entrances at the sides that cover the openings where there are iron bars in the drawbridge set. The "falling" play feature of the bridge is translated into a hidden hatch (hope that's the correct word in english) with a ladder on it so the rebels can enter and exit their hidden outpost from above. Feel free to discover what became of the DRAGON knight and the royal knights (A skeleton or something similiar didn't fit into my vision of this MOC sorry... ) https://www.flickr.com/photos/136641789 ... 946744053/ And as you can see on the second picture (and if you are interested some other pictures on flickr) you can take it all rather easily apart and inside is an actual base hidden. This was important to me, since it should be a great set on it's own with nice play features https://www.flickr.com/photos/136641789 ... 946744053/
