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.

21006 - Architecture White House - $39.99 (20% off). http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_0_16?k=lego+white+house&sprefix=lego+white+house

I bought a few cool and fairly rare sets: 4002014: lego Hub Birds, MISB $200 4002015: lego Borkum Riffgruns MISB $185 10195: Star Justice. MISB $115 3723: complete with instructions and stickers $425 3724: complete with instructions and original box: $500

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.

Merry Christmas 2016, everybody! http://brickset.com/sets/40223-1/Christmas-Ornament

Absolutely...I think it's ridiculous. I'm just posting my experience and I've been shot down at the counter.

You read my mind...

Buying from Amazon right now would be the better deal as reported by @exciter1 in the DD @ $39.99...

Maybe this is more complaint territory but I ordered 60 cmf series 15 from indigo a couple of days ago. Just placing the order was a hassle as my first 2 credit cards were rejected then I went the paypal route and paid the $180 or so. Then I get an email saying my order was on hold. So I called and was told I didnt pay for shipping which it never gave me an option to pay more money. So they cancelled my order of 60 and said they sent 40. This should be fun. First time ever ordering Lego out of the country. I have the worst luck with cmf minifigs as I can never find them locally until weeks after the release only to find boxes of the ones no one wants. I just want to have the enjoyment of opening up a complete box with my daughter. She normally keeps a complete set and some extras of her favorites and it gives her something to sell on ebay for a few weeks. Just dont think I would get the same enjoyment smooshing with my daughter in the store. She always gets mad when she comes up to a box and all the packs are felt up and wrinkled.

My settings never changed, I was subscribed throughout last year and never received an Ebay Bucks promotion, but I did receive others.

Yes, if everybody would hold their sets and wait till the price would reach, say, €500, and then a majority of resellers would suddenly flood the market with their MISB offers, it would crash the price of the Tumbler on the 2nd hand market. So for a healthy future market we really need to get the air out of the Tumbler bubble by having new-time investors jump on the small price-increase now and get rid of their Tumblers for a small profit. It will benefit the patient resellers who wait out this 'storm' until supply and demand will hit healthier levels. Like Val-E says, he's probably exaggerating (a bit), and the future value of the Tumbler will most likely get up there some day. It will just take longer to get there...

I only have one still sealed box in my storage. But when I see the Slave 1 on sale somewhere again, I will get more boxes including one for myself to build!

Looks like the WM in Mesquite NV

I liked the Arctic subtheme, but only the Icebreaker and the exclusive Supply Plane seemed worthy of investment. This set always seemed to be on sale somewhere and when it went on sale on LEGO.com, it had to be discounted even further before it finally sold out. It's a decent set, but I think you'll be holding onto it for a while at that buy-in price.

Read somewhere that this is new k-3po that's coming with new hoth set...

I think you should definitely buy one. And the fact I'm selling three of them has nothing to do with that...

I have. It is an astoundingly well engineered model. There's compound curves, crazy shaping, you name it. The fact that this is such an iconic, interesting ship combined with the outstanding representation of it here (along with a fan-favorite character) makes this set a clear winner, but being a clear winner has implications of its own investment wise. I really appreciate that it occupies vertical space rather than horizontal, as there is no shortage of UCS's that occupy horizontal space (I'm looking at you SSD). The tower of Orthanc is one of the only other vertical displays (that is, in general, most sets take up more horizontal than vertical room). I imagine this will still be in production for some time.

But won't the constant toilet stops impede that?!?

So is this a good sign to start hoarding up now? Heh. I'm a small time investor (I usually only gather 1-3 of the same set as compared to the peeps who hoard 10-20+) so this might be the time to gather my golden 3 now, lol.

Promotional set 1590 (ANWB Assistance Center). I know, I'm a child
