Don't post anything about money making, flipping, especially Lego on social media accounts. People get jealous, people will follow and try to flip and that brings competitions which make it harder for you to make money, let alone all of us. And most importantly, you don't know who's looking at your post. Home burglaries aiming to steal/rob Lego inventories are not unheard of in this forum.

Same person that gave me the polybag schedule has posted that 11/20-11/21 tru will have 20% off ultra agents and Lego movie sets and 2 for $5 series 14 cmf.

I'm not sure about the value of the MOC, but that milk is around $1.79. Very impressive display. How did you acquire it? Are you looking to sell it or just curious as to what it's worth?

Target Cartwheel has Dimensions for 35% off today. Additionally, if you text GAMER to 827438, you get an additional 10% off Toys to Life Games, including Dimensions. That takes it down to $58. Add Red Card for another 5% off to get it down to $55

But some stores still have them. This is from last Friday.

I think that RJ is talking about one of the buy/sell groups. Wouldn't sweat it personally. AFOLs are some of the whiniest, entitled people that I have ever come across.

Could be doing this...

10218 Pet Shop with free 40138 Holiday Train. PS was old box with seal-code 42S5. I have reached my quota for investment. Now I will ignore PS and start to concentrate on other sets.

This was good for a laugh today... I think eBay is overestimating my ability to acquire more Lego to sell...

Mail came today!

Hi anyone care to venture a guess at the value on this custom Lego Colosseum. It's around 24in tall and a little over 45in in diameter. I'm only guessing but I think it weighs around 100lbs. I dont know how many total pieces but it has to be in the tens of thousands. I can count hundreds of pieces just in a small section of the structure. Also included are around 135 roman mini figures. It came from a major movie studio prop department.

Sold another bundle of 6 Hero Factory Bat Pod clips for $90CAD. Down to my last bundle, should have got more!

Speaking of beautiful... I got the Bold-Arrow voodoo workin' today... a wink & a smile works in Charlotte, too. I found an I-Rex on the shelf today, figured I'd try all coupons I had: the 20% off, $5 off, and $10 gift card for $75 purchase... well of course, they wouldn't all go through. The newbie cashier said the 20% and $5 worked, but the $10 gift card would not... I was very understanding... "Oh that's fine... I just thought I'd give it a try... thank you for trying..." But she wouldn't give up. She called over the more senior cashier (who has scanned 100's of my coupons this year). She smiled, "Nice to see you! Didn't see you here last Saturday?.." she took control of the scanner... didn't work right away, and then..beep... beep-beep... $91.37. I'm thinking "That's less than I expected... quick... run my card please..." When I got out to the car, I'm looking over the receipt: 20% check.... $5 off check... and then the line "21.40 SAVINGS DEC. $10 GIFT CARD" ... What? I'm not complaining... but whatever that coupon was... I'd like to get more of those

Sopwith is doing ok in the states. I wish I had been buying them instead of the VW Campers I have...

Corrected that for you

And here I thought I was being smart by avoiding the horde's choices and holding a couple of these for the long haul... If you have been outperformed by Chima....

What age is the baby?

I have it for my Wii U console. And I think it's a really fun game. It is sharing similarities with previous Traveller's tales Lego games in the sense of collecting studs, looking for hidden gold bricks, the special red brick, collecting mini-sets, switching between characters to use their special abilities... The difference here is of course the mixing of different Lego worlds. And the portal device which requires frequent interaction by moving the figures from one spot on the portal device to another based on changing colours. One major advantage of the Wii U version over the Playstation or Xbox version is how co-op can be played on two screens instead of doing a split-screen on the TV. With the Wii U player 1 can use the gamepad and watch his actions there, while player two can use the TV and watch his actions there, using the full width of the TV. I haven't really progressed far yet, but am enjoying it whenever I have some spare time to play. I also have two kids (boy of 9 and girl of 6) and they do enjoy playing it too, though my daughter finds it a bit difficult yet. But my son has friends from school coming over and they do enjoy playing it together in co-op mode.

Staples this week (through Nov 21): 40% off your $50 purchase of regular-priced packing and shipping supplies * Online / In-store code = 16055 40% off any one regular-priced packing or shipping item * In-store code = 78118 http://www.staples.com/coupons

Item under review at Amazon. It should be interesting to see how long this lasts and how high the 3rd party price goes up as we approach the holiday selling season. Shop at Home has them but nobody without a reseller badge buys from there anyways, right?

You have me craving Wendy's.

and a 10$ GC

ToA with freebie shipped from S@H

This is one of those "under the radar" sets" that gets little love from collectors, but smart resellers know they are money in the bank.

Everybody sing along!

One thing in your favour with the purchase is that the main picture shows the complete set and I presume that you did not or will not receive what was pictured.

Also make sure to pay with your credit card´s exchange rate and not that of Amazon - visa rates are much more competitive.

EU boxes and manuals are universal Amazon EU sites (france, germany, italy, spain all ship to UK) Shipping is reasonable, you can go all way through checkout before buying to see prices in Eur/GBP. Use a browser that converts site back into English like Google Chrome

Second biggest according to Brickset... 10184 - Town Plan was bigger with 1980 vs 1677 pieces. The tree in 10184 will give this one a run for it's money, but I agree using the round 2x2 bricks for the trunk was a sucky move. They should have just expand a little on the one from the spring time scene (40052).

Removed and back to retired eu LEGO Shop at Home

No like XBox 360? I can't imagine playing on any other system. I have a Wii and had a PS3 and rarely played those. The XBox controller totally spoils you. LOL, that thing was a boat anchor. That's how I feel about my Xbox 360! Lol I've wanted to throw it off my balcony since the day we got it. Every time I turn that thing on, it takes me 29 minutes to get a game going. There's all sorts of patches that need to be installed these days. But even from the start it felt like it took 20 to actually start game play. The Kinect drives me nuts because it loses the kids or me constantly. Doesn't matter info to mount high or low. Last night was the first time in the years I've owned it that we actually enjoyed it. Somehow my 3 1/2 year was getting the sensor to recognize him and getting Disney Dance Party to respond to him. It was actually enjoyable to be able to walk away and do something else while he could play. My 7 year old for years would start playing a game and it would constantly pause because it would stop tracking her. So after 10 mutes to get through a 3 minute game play, I'd stop and spend 15 minutes adjusting things. Only to have it behave the same way. I have a Wii and love it, but we've gone through 2 of them know. Both have mysteriously stopped working after a couple of years. Which is too bad because we love the Mario games (Kart and Party). Back to Dimensions. With the extra 10% off on top of 35% off at Target today looks like I'll pick up the 360 version and hope for the best.

I haven't played it, but I'm expecting a more polished Lego game where I now have to buy characters with actual money, not digital studs, to unlock them. I think Lego knew what they were doing trying to tie in some nostalgia with BTTF, Scooby, Ghostbusters. If it was just Chima, Ninjago, and some superheros stuff there is no way I would consider giving this as a Christmas gift. I miss the OG Xbox giant controller.

I just requested it removed, and Amazon did it automatically because the customer marked item as not received. Not sure it would help in your case because the item was damaged, but maybe worth a try.

Good question. I've got 1 left for my personal collection. (sold luckily in time. (As I have done with my BKhalifa sets as well - not taking the risk) The only way I would sell it, is through the creation of a super-pack containing all the WV sets (if ever I would be ready to sell my best sets).

I'm similar, but I tend to turn over 50+ plus sets a month. Mainly the smaller ones and use the money to acquire the larger ones, so I'm in an endless cycle of being broke

getting stoked for The Force Awakens - ordered UCS R2-D2 from eBay to build. Figured price would only increase after movie comes out....

I sold a pre Vizla's starfighter (9525) for $50 and a kraang lab escape (79100) for $13 to the same person locally

Virtual profit is the best kind and doesn't take up too much room in your wallet.

They don't repackage it, but they are usually opened and re-taped with a special "eBay" tape. We have a thread somewhere about global shipping... I've had very good luck with one exception - they put the loose bricks back on the bottom and the set box on top. The weight of the box caused indents and scratches all over it despite the bricks being in a plastic bag... (yeah it mattered, it was an SDCC set that'll never leave the box). Someone else has had them cut the LEGO box with the knife used to open the box... so make sure you guys leave a little air space at the top or put a scrap piece of cardboard under the tape seam!
