All the winning prizes have shipped...Finally. A lot of work. I would appreciate that winners would post photos of their prizes in this thread. I would like to thank everyone once again for your support. Principal Robbins received and deposited the $62,000 check yesterday. Instead of planning for next year, the school would have been planning to close its doors without the support of all of you. I salute you...

My mouth waters every time someone mentions Chipotle......why you ask? 20-30 seconds before you vomit your mouth produces saliva which forms a protective layer in your mouth to protect against the acidity of the puke.........google it, it's true.

My 11 year old opened her own BL store with my help, mostly selling minifigures. She is making probably $10 a week or more profit per week. She can inventory them, invoice, pack and ship. Not bad for 11 year old, on pace for $500 this year. I threw a bunch of polybags that have languished forever on ebay listings and have been moving rocket racoons, hulks, mini tumblers, and a slew of others above ebay prices. Almost 100% international sales: poland, slovakia, S Korea and Spain just this week

The real story!

I thought I looked good in that pic...

Well if there was one set I would love to see resurrected from the dead it would be this one... Just for some more PEE jokes! Lucky with LEGO retired doesn't mean retired anymore so I got my wish. Painting Easter Eggs Item: 40121 Ages:7+ VIP Points: 0 Pieces:153 Retired product

I am pretty sure that is not the case.

Had a customer return a RE I dumped just before Christmas. One of the few times I'm not mad about having a return.

Let the games begin

How the heck did this happen?

Yes. Which was FREAKING amazing.

You know it's the slow season when the last three "deals" were a t-shirt, a burrito and something from a tractor supply store. Someone wake me up when double VIP starts. Also, I definitely jumped on that burrito deal. Thanks BA!

Just as an FYI warning, apparently its possible to get completely banned from PayPal. I had a customer that was getting a weird "card cannot be used" error when trying to pay me. I helped them do some research and they wrote back with this... -Okay so I went back, and I found out what it was. I used paypal to pay for a private torrent service (to paypal it's illegal). -anything I use that is associated to my bank cards, my email, my phone number, pretty much anything used to identify me is permanently locked out. I could survive a Lego ban (knock on wood), but a PayPal ban would cripple my business.

I'll be irritated if it's movie Ra's. I really want cape and collar.

eBay Bucks thread. Please use that for your questions / discussion

Today was a good day I sold my one and only Arctic supply plane for $140 shipped on eBay buy in was about $35

I actually like the UCS Imperial Shuttle just a little better..but both are amazing builds

In other words: if you haven't build a Slave I yet, go buy and build one.

I´d try another theme! 7938 is not yet selling above RRP almost 2 years after retirement and station are too cheap to be able to offer any interesting return - train investment is no longer what it was 5 years ago.

Some good news: A-Z claims will no longer affect a seller's metrics if Amazon rules in their favor or customer withdraws claim

I'm getting dizzy just looking at those pictures. Is he showing them that way to show how well the glue holds?

A little of topic, and it was over ten years ago so the relevance now is non existent, but the UCS sets, they used to go on sale for 50 percent off at times. I had massive orders of UCS items back then. I bought 30 snowspeeders in orders of 5 during this sale. The good ole days....

"46" = Week of Production "S" = Production Plant "5" = Year of Production H = Nyíregyháza, Hungary R = Ciénega de Flores, Mexico S = Kladno, Czech Republic Q = Purkersdorf, Austria

Both Winter sets are 100%. The unpopular 10235 was actually a decent set to build. Starting the Palace Cinema tonight. GE will be last.

And I'll build, the head! $11 - Ript Appeal LEGO Voltron t-shirt for February 9, 2016

Palace Cinema...with some personal modifications. I have always admired the aesthetic style of this theatre and was happy to finally have a used one cross my path to build. The build was overall an enjoyable experience. The interior is not the most detailed of the modulars, but the exterior makes up for it in spades. Book 3 was very enjoyable to see how the roof, marque, and most impressively, the Palace sign come together. I enjoyed adding my little touches although I funged up the Shawshank poster. It adds charm though! I still may create stadium-style seating in the theatre, but for now I have a bank to build!

Pretty sure we tell all the noobs who've never sold or shipped anything to start out small... Not our fault you didn't listen.

^^^Alright, you are pushing the boundaries of my mod duties. I've been called out for posting risque images too, but I might let this one burn in for a bit before I am forced to send it to the bit bucket.

Any answer other than "YMMV" would be just personal experience. Some have had luck when the item is OOS, some have had no luck. Bottom line is just give it a try both online and in store and see what happens. I think technically the item has to be in stock (at least in the fine print from what i recall).

Well, that sucks 'cause they're useless for most everything else when calling... Sorry guys...

I've never been invited to the pool party.

It's already been discounted at FAO and Amazon on occasion.

Ah yes, but there's levels of dudinessnessnessness, this info for me puts it up there as King Dud of Duderlands, all hail the king

Suggest something better in the Mid-Ohio Chemical Valley and I'm game. We do have Hillbilly Hot Dogs! http://www.yelp.com/biz/hillbilly-hot-dogs-lesage

Ohhh looking forward to the new cars!

Showing at TRU.com now, not available for shipping/pick up yet

Why use the Kragel??!! NOooooooooooooo! http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-Star-Wars-Death-Star-II-10143/231785196365?_trksid=p2047675.c100012.m1985&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D35315%26meid%3D52f1baf06ad04450a78fedcb6067b540%26pid%3D100012%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D181945462693

Wanted to build this beautiful model designed by Nico71 for a long time. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Finally getting around to putting some stuff in my display case. This shelf is western theme.

So what's going on with the Sopwith Camel? It's doing the dance?

At this point, I shouldn't be surprised that there's an EOL discussion for Slave I. I just think it's really silly. Carry on...

Some food for thought. 75054 AT-AT = 1,137 pieces MSRP 109.99 (2014) 7879 Hoth Echo Base = 548 Pieces MSRP 49.99 (2007) 7666 Hoth Rebal Base = 773 pieces MSRP 89.99 (2011) If you combine all of these you get 2,458 pieces and a combined MSRP of right at 250. Considering streamlining and taking out the repetitive pieces in both sets this looks like EXACTLY what is being described. So i look for some kind of combination of these three to hit.
