I don't often post deals but when I do, I prefer 25% off exclusives... http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/toys-games-lego-simpsons-kwik-e-mart-71016/28756252?ean=0673419234559

We gotta find that SD mole......for any newbies here, I'll re-iterate that posting deals here is a one-way street. If you see something good on SD, post it here if it hasn't been already. But never the other way around.

Was it just me or did others also misread that headline as "Sell to avoid collectors like you"?

Annnddd all done! Had a pretty big "oh ****" moment when i went to put it in the case and realized that i wouldn't be able to actually get it into the case. Luckily i built it with the fences being removable and i was able to take those off and angle it in such a way that i could slide it in as those wire frames through the middle keep you from just putting it in from the front. Aside from some minor tweaks i'll make throughout it's existence; this is mainly the final product as i am quite happy with everything aside from maybe the T-Rex being a tad on the small side, but there's nothing i can do about that. I am not too bothered by the scale of the Explorer and will probably keep it as is since it is such a nice design and really acts as a center piece to the whole thing, but in time i may break and make 2 small ones. I may also space the fence pillars out a bit more, but again that's a future plan for when it starts to really bother me. I grew up on Jurassic Park, and this is the kind of display i have always wanted. When we heard LEGO got the JW license i figured they'd do it justice and maybe do some JP stuff i could display, well we all know they haven't yet. And when the JP Gates Ideas project got denied i went with displaying the JW stuff. Sadly the JW line models are fairly poor to display and didn't do the theme justice for me. Now i have something that displays my favourite scene in the JP franchise, and looks way better as a display piece. Hope you all enjoyed the progress and pictures (i love pictures). If and when i do something else i'll be sure to post a build log for it. Currently i have nothing on the horizon. I debated a Raptor Paddock, but you wouldn't really be able to see the Raptors and i'm not sure if i wanna go with that. I'll also throw a couple updated pictures of what's currently in my display case collection in the collection/stockroom thread, because well... pictures! Cheers.

Between this, Lego double points, and Walmart clearance hunting I tripped the fraud alert on my credit card. First time I've done that. Now I really feel like a BP'er!

I missed out!* *I actually had some of both in the cart and decided against checking out as neither looked like sets I'd want to deal with the amounts already hoarded and their longevity (especially the Mini) . How is that for restraint?

And now we get to read about all the BPers who missed out...

I think I received the same email as you. It was trying to encourage me to sell baseball cards and coins. I forwarded the email to my slickdeals friends.

I love how BPers think they are the only ones scouring the inter-web for LEGO deals.

That guy is ready to buy some collectibles.

Killerpotaote posted Mini Cooper on SD .. Time to fry him/her

Found on a WM top shelf and talked into $15. I'm so Excitered!

More poofage than a Vixen video!

Lot of 5 Series 6 Roman Soldiers (used) for $75 Lot of 12 Series 10 Roman Commanders for $80 (8 new/4 used)

That dude is getting ready to cash out with his great grandpa's paper bag full of Ty Cobb cards.

One of two possibilities: 1) Your multiple orders triggered their fraud prevention system. You can call them, verify the orders, and all will be well or 2) The BANHAMMER strikes again.

If I get modded, I understand why. This is the queen's gesture, not mine.

I bought one of these and sold the minifigures and vehicles. I'm going to keep everything else to make a larger Batcave down the road when I buy this set again for my personal collection. I was able to get the net price for the Batcave pieces down to $40 after fees, shipping, and everything else. It's probably close to 2,000 pieces after taking out the minifigures and vehicles but that's just a guess.

Love the Mariachi band idea! Series two had maracas guy, this will be the guitarist, all we need is a trumpet. I wonder if Taco Tuesday guy would work, or if you would just get 3-4 of the guitarists and use the same torso and pants, while mixing up the heads with others. Different sombreros with the same torso/pants might be slick... Then there's the business of who they are playing to - street crowd, concert, restaurant, man proposing to wife...so many options.

I'm already looking forward to form a mariachi band to entertain my minifigs. Also, it's great to see the hairpiece from the zombie cheerleader in a nice color. Overall the line-up looks very impressive. I wish this were the next CMF series instead of the Disney one.

In for 3 more cancellations.

also dont forget the kindlyl tip on RE KO listing Kindly Tip : 1, Children should be warning in adult care use. do not put toys, thrown each other. small parts do not eat, lest produce risk events. toys like found damaged, please be careful save or recycled. avoid fell into, exposure to the sun, damp.

I did not realize this was a rule everyone must follow. Hold on... I found it in the rules. Paragraph right below the one that explains that everyone must only purchase a quantity of one set when they find a deal so that everyone can get their fair share. Just above the paragraph that requires us all to defer purchasing any investment items until 24 hours after a deal strikes so that we can be sure the true LEGO lover has his opportunity to purchase before the "resellers" profit from his inattentiveness.

Ridiculous...

Am I the only one who is more nervous than excited about this set available at so many TRU stores? I have visions of VC and GS sets

Some have been booted for being accused of Gift Card fraud. Through no fault of their own if you try to pay with gift cards that turn out to be fraudulent, they'll ban you. I wouldn't mess around with GC's on this deal, it's good enough on its own plus whatever rewards programs you might have on your CC.

Spent my weekend "Lego time" selling, woefully unprepared for 2xVIP strategy... Slave-1 & Sandcrawler already OOS (US). Grabbed a Scooby Collection - $104 buy in (sale price + tax - VIP pts), may have been a Day 1 panic buy, need to figure out my ROI stratrgy for it still. QFFL, sit on it, or part it out? Will try and decide today... May keep just the house for my personal collection. Hitting Lego retail store this afternoon (Mall of America) - 10 PAB cups to stock my Ebay store shelves, plus a Parisian Restaurant is my plan. SC & S-1 if they're available in store. Staff there is always happy to give "1 freebee per $75 spent" so no worries about staging out the buys to maximize those...

This is a brilliant idea from an entrepreneur standpoint when you think of all of the consumer data that is being given to them and 25% of all refunds. I shudder at using this as a consumer though.

do not plan on using LEGO Shop at Home or LEGO Stores for ones reselling inventory. what that means is: a. never use LEGO Shop at Home or LEGO Stores for ones reselling inventory b. use other sources for "reselling inventory" Why i. eventually when one start making LEGO store & LEGO Shop at Home source for reselling inventory, sooner or later when their account is reviewed then it will all come and will be banned. if you really plan on doing that then forgo a. VIP points b. use lego stores to purchase in cash and gift cards { never never use credit card with vip account } so that one is not tied to what was purchased. some people may have some other ways of doing it though which i am not going to highlight

I found 40% offer at promotional offer in my ebay. Or here http://pages.ebay.com/promo/2016/0307/40OFF.html You need to activate it.

Heh, with the whole "spare no expense" philosophy; i wouldn't be surprised if they did hire weed-wackers to do just that!

Got an email from eBay for 40% off final value fees on collectibles and Lego is on the list. It runs through 3/31. Time to clear out some excess stock.

I ordered a Sancrawler and a Slave I even though they're both out of stock (expected ship date ~ March 20th). Just want to lock in those double VIP points. I look forward to getting a Kai Dragon shaped dent in each of the boxes.

I wouldn't use gc on online BN orders .

You won't regret purchasing this set, big sets on my shelf at present are Hogwarts castle, sandcrawler, new falcon and EV. EV always gets most comments, and is certainly my favorite. Plus the nostalgia of the build being a huge SW fan made it worth every penny. The detail is brilliant, leagues ahead of the new hoth set!! If possible I'd get one to build and one for the vault!!!

Very nice! Have you ever considered adding any texture to the beige baseplate under the jeep/tracks? Like a puddle with a big muddy trex print?

Maybe it's $149 for people with an expired membership, that's about all that's special about me

There are TWO listings for Mini Cooper, one is at 99.99 and the other at 74.96. I don't see two listings for Quiki Mart, just the one at 149.96. Crazy.

Me too, for the most part. I grabbed two of these from S@H. Since I don't spend the time tracking down discounts in an area that has few, this is a decent deal with double VIP.

I ordered a Sandcrawler, my order from Target the other day was cancelled, so they are definitely out.

Took advantage of x2 VIP and finally pulled the trigger on a Sydney Opera House ... Looking forward to building it!

Challenge accepted. For anyone wondering if it can happen, here's some math: $199 - 10% TRUTH = $179 $179 - 20% coupon = $143 $143 - 15% Gift Card (not even the 20% you offered) = $122 You can use any Rewards you have after that to get it down even further.

My Ferris Wheel came from TRU. First time ordering a exclusive via TRU. Last time ordering an exclusive via TRU...

The origins of this set have been uncovered by a Disney archivist. They found an unreleased, 1991 straight to video film by the same name in the Lucasfilm vault. Now we can understand how an assault by two could be successful. From the promotion materials: The action is heating up on the ice planet Hoth! When trooper Kesva Pelon (Steven Seagal - Above the Law, Hard to Kill) discovers that his ex-wife, Toryn Farr (Kelly Le Brock - Weird Science), joined the Rebel Alliance, became chief communications officer for the base on Hoth and has been abducted by a ruthless wampa, he must take matters into his own hands. But Kesva wouldn't dare assault the Hoth base alone! He is joined by longtime Imperial Academy friend and the Galactic Empire's finest speeder bike pilot, Squad Leader Brase McRol (Chuck Norris - The Delta Force, Missing in Action) Together, they are a two-man wrecking crew, leaving death and destruction in their wake. They must act fast if they hope to rescue Toryn and punish the Rebel scum for letting her be taken! "Norris and Seagal are an action tour de force!" - LA Times
