  2. I want to make a blog post that summarizes the Black Friday deals. A lot of the talk is going on in the Daily Deals thread, and we will try to bring deals over into the content here so that it is easy to see what might be out there. The reason I turned the summary into a blog is because for any comments, the deals are on each page and there will not need to be searching back 10 pages to see what was missed. This list will be available all the time. I am hunting through the Daily Deal thread to find the deals, so you will continue to see this update. BLACK FRIDAY LEGO SHOP @ HOME DEALS - A list of everything on sale @ LEGO starting tonight at 12am EST LEGO: DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League $6.00 LEGO City Police 60044 Mobile Police Unit 31% Off $30.99 LEGO Movie 70815 Super Secret Police Dropship Building Set 31% Off $55.00 Imperial Assault Carrier 75106-1 26% Off $55.00 Star Wars Order Special Forces TIE Fighter 75101 http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Special-Forces-Fighter-Building/dp/B00WHYTQXE/ Bike Shop live at Target http://www.target.com/p/lego-creator-bike-shop-cafe-31026/-/A-15276992#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=lego+bike+shop Arctic Base Camp http://www.target.com/p/lego-city-arctic-basecamp-60036/-/A-15409367#prodSlot=medium_1_9&term=lego+arctic+base Police Dropship http://www.target.com/p/the-lego-movie-super-secret-police-dropship-70815/-/A-15282721#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=lego+police+dropship The Lego Movie (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD UltraViolet Combo Pack) - Target Exclusive http://goto.target.com/c/65738/81938/2092?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Fthe-lego-movie-blu-ray-dvd-digital-hd-ultraviolet-combo-pack-target-exclusive%2F-%2FA-50010679 LEGO Dimensions Start Packs LEGO Classic LEGO Large Creative Box, 10697 LEGO DUPLO My First LEGO DUPLO Large Creative Box, 10622 LEGO Jurassic World Video Game (XBox One, PS4, Wii U) $25 LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (PS3, XBox 360) $8.00 LEGO: Marvel Pirates of the Caribbean (Xbox 360) $8.00 Yes, they labeled it as “Marvel Pirates of the Caribbean” LEGO: Marvel Super Heroes (PS3, Wii U) $8.00 The LEGO Movie: The Videogame (PS4, XBox 360) $25.00 LEGO Batman (Wii) $8.00 LEGO Dimensions Starter Pack (XBox 360) $79.99 http://yoyo.7eer.net/c/65738/83484/2056?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yoyo.com%2Fsearch%3Frf-YoyoPromo%3DBFLEGO Code: BFLEGO Max discount: $50 The coupon can be used on MULTIPLE orders Don't forget about the 30% Ultra Agents at TRU...Some really nice sets there.

  6. Free advice (worth what you paid for it): Most sets at the Lego store can be found cheaper at other retailers and the real reasons for shopping at a physical store are exclusives, advance sales, and promotions such as: buy a keychain, get a free polybag!. The Lego Store does not offer regular 20% off deals (or better) and almost every regularly available set will see at least a 20% discount during its shelf life. Amazon, Target, Walmart, and TRU (if you live near one) and great options and then there are regional chains as well such as Meijer's. Some exceptions to this idea include hard to find sets (Jurassic World) and store exclusives (eg. Target exclusives) From a resale standpoint - one set from Amazon means 1 pre-packaged set ready for sale, just take pictures of it and tape it back up. One set from Target means 1LB of air bubbles for future use, etc. etc.

  7. For those of you that use the Stock Tracker Alerts system, I would like to ask if you can try out a feature I am working on for doing Browser Notifications. Right now this is for Chrome and Safari Browsers. Firefox is in beta and will be available in a few weeks. IE or whatever it is called will be after that. The alerts will show up even if you are not on the Brickpicker site. Please visit this link: https://www.brickpicker.com/brickwatcher/lego-stock-checker-roost-push-notifications.cfm If you are logged in you will be prompted to allow notifications, please make sure you hit the 'Allow' button. Please then go through all of your alerts again and set each one. This will reset everything so that browser alerts may start to come. Please let me know how it works for you. If you need to make change please refer to the link above. The regular stock tracker page will not set everything like this one. It is important to make sure that the Browser Notification Checkbox is checked as well. You get there by clicking the RED Setup Button

  11. This sounds like too many different sets being sold at one time by Lego. This might be the time to switch your focus from overhoarded, overproduced, not-so-exclusive exclusives to regular sets. The lifespans on regular sets are shrinking while exclusives are lengthening.

  12. What strikes me is the accurate representation. With all due respect to the 2011 MOC, this one is much more accurate. Great display set. Review in Dutch

  14. I actually saw 4 Raptor Escapes at the LEGO Store the other day. I left them alone, since the day before I picked up 10 more RE at Wal-Marts on my way to Columbus. I did see a couple little Jimmy's checking out with their RE's in tow while I was there, so it felt like I was releasing a couple more into the wild.

  17. Also, selling prices are sometimes hard to compare. Whilst Ebay and Amazon do get higher selling prices than smaller expert trading sites, there's the aspect of including/exclusing shipping too. This isn't the year to sell the Christmas HTrain btw. There's a limited supply, so every box opened in 2015 will help move op the price point end of 2016/17 when they have become scarce. Selling stuff at a time that everybody else is doing the same isn't a smart strategy.

  23. Wie schon im anderen Thread beschrieben, gibts derzeit im ToysRUs Ebay shop die Sets mit 20%. Zusätzlich geht der Ebay GS: CSPIELZEUG15 bei Bezahlung mit PayPal und bringt noch 10%. 15fach Payback Coupon kann auch noch eingelöst werden. Sets derzeit meist vergriffen, werden aber immer wieder mal nachgeladen http://www.ebay.de/sch/m.html?_ssn=toysrusde&_armrs=1&_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=lego&_sop=16 Ps.: Lasst mir was übrig

  24. I didn't actually believe that it's commonly assumed that they will retire after 3years. I was just wondering why when someone mentions retirement after 4 year, then someone else corrects him and says 3 years, the initial person accepts this as a correction to a seemingly obvious mistake. But it was more of a somewhat confusing and funny situation rather than getting any new insight about retirement cycles.

  25. In the last, the vast majority of sets retired on a fairly predictable schedule. Now Lego is unpredictable. Most think the driving force is global sales (and contract terms for licensed stuff) . Main problem is that folks starting buying up huge amount of slowing sets that prob gives Lego a false indicator that some sets are good sellers with consumers. Town Hall retired after only 2 years because it was a slow seller and the hoard didn't have time to stock up on it (thinking they could do it in another year).

  27. Trying to figure out my methods of getting the best deal on Black Friday. I might be interested in the agents boat and maybe coast guard boat too. Will the 15%off and $5 off $25 coupons work on BF price? Will they stack with each other on one set? I also have a 15% off entire purchase from opening the TRU cc a while ago that will expire in December sometime. I've been saving it, waiting to see what deals there are this Friday, but I'm not sure the rules for it. Will it stack with those other coupons? Thanks in advance for any help!

  28. I just think it's ridiculous to bang up Lego. I wouldn't want to get them after that. Nor would I want to offer something like that to people. Maybe I'm just too old to understand those kinds of antics... Respect the Lego...

  33. While I agree with most of what you stated, when a person posts a video of themselves, they are open season to all sorts of comments, both good and bad, personal and non-personal. This video in particular was one of his weaker productions and really showed nothing of value in my opinion, other than some person clearing the shelves of two TRUs. I guess we are the fools, discussing this subpar video for the past 3 pages, so good for him. Any publicity is good publicity.

  34. When you put your personality out there on YouTube for all to see, you lose the ability to control who says what about you and your antics. Besides, most people were mocking his "swooshing" of sets into a cart and not him directly... He shows no class when he does that and that will irk many people in or out of these forums.

  35. I am more than a little dissapointed that respected members here seem to think that Clutch from BricksOnTheDollar is some kind of fool or full of crap. He runs a successful mid to large range Bricklink Store, spending on average $2000 a month on lego and has steadily grown his store over the last few years into a small warehouse. He has many subscribers and has put out way over 100 videos alone where anyone can ask questions about Bricklink and how to's etc etc He is a very well respected You Tuber and has helped alot of people come out of their Dark Ages and enjoy Lego and start to make a bit of extra cash buying and selling. Keep negative personal opinions of someones personality off this forum, let those thousands who watch his videos enjoy them for what they are . If you dont like him switch off!!!

  37. I think TLG strayed too far from what made the Friends line a success. I think they should have stayed with what worked and also produced some larger more detailed sets in that theme. Jungle made no sense to me and Pop Star fantasies were over 5 years ago. Elves is not selling well and the Princess line is a whole different demographic. I think they tanked Friends all on their own with some poor decisions.

  38. this is deja vu 2012 star war advent calendar. yes 2013 and 2014 may have higher prices why because lot of people got burned in 2012 and they stayed away for 2 years. 2015 lets see how it unfolds. with this much inventory in the wild; it won't be a surprise to see few on 50% clearance sometime in january or who knows even december...

  46. Avg build but some good parts for MOCing and the PF´s come in handy too. Really the crane is the one that will disappear first so for the others there is time. Another tip for investing is avoid the sets that are stocked in large supermarkets and non specialist toy shops as these always stay on the shelves for ages - e.g. 42000, 42029.
