  1. Bought 7 sets in Germany recently. 2 EV, 2 GBHQ, 1 TB, 1 PC and 1 SC. Managed to sell 5 of those sets for a profit, which left me with essentially a free SC and EV, so I decided to break out the SC to build it up. What an awesome build it turned out to be! Truly befitting of an UCS set, unlike the upcoming Hoth set... I have 2 other SCs kept in storage MISB. I think I shall get a few more of these down the road

  5. Finally finished this beast. It's actually a pretty awesome playset and you can fit a warthog and a couple mongoose inside. It's been a busy week and we had 5 baseball games this weekend. The wife is watching a movie, so I finished it while waiting to watch "The Walking Dead".

  7. Some more information re: " From your experience, can you find retired sets from big box stores like Walmart and Target? " Different retailers have different practicies: For example, Target - corporate-wide has a pretty strongly regimented product life cycle on their shelves. They go through 2 major clearances a year (Feb/July) - and in general, they move out product even before it's "retired" from shop at home. Wal-Mart has a lot more freedom, and it can vary store by store, so OCCASIONALLY (especially in backwoods Wallies) find a retired set or two. Walmart also has a tendency to pile clearance items in storage, and then unload them onto the floor at various times, which allows the occasional old set to surface. Target does not do this. Other retailers, like K-Mart - have stuff on their shelves a lot LONGER. For example, at some K-Marts you can find things like Brick Bounty, The Ghost, even wave 1 Chima - All of which are "retired" on shop at home. And the ever popular Mechdragon, which just recently retired from Shop at Home. Toys R Us is the same way in that they have a lot of flexibility, and since they tend to overprice a bit - retired sets can linger on the shelves a while. "Retired" simply means the date it is no longer available at Shop At Home. Sometimes these sets can linger at other retailers for quite some time. A good example would be the Toys R Us exclusive "Hydra Fortress Smash" which I believe retired in November officially, but didn't get cleared out of TRU finally until a couple weeks ago. One of mine had a couple Black Gates 8-9 months after retirement on their shelves. And your own regional stores will have their own policies and gems.

Disclaimer - yeah, you can get it cheaper at TRU if your TRU carries it and if you happen to be there and if it's the 4th day of the new moon where your 10% discount applies and if you don't pay tax and if you steal it OR just buy it now. If only someone made that suggestion!

  23. I couldn't help myself today at a local mall. $50 in VIP points and plus Mr. Freeze polys for each family member. I didn't want the huge box with holes in it so the contents were dumped into 2 XL bags. For a set I never planned on buying, looks like I'll be building it.

  24. 70172, while this is a Ultra Agents set, the kids thought it was awesome. Tons of playability and the fact that you can fit a minifig in the sharks mouth is sweet. The crane that holds the cell is weak and the giant harpoon gun hanging off the small boat is comical, but still a fun set. 5x eBay bucks and I broke down and bought our first Indiana Jones set. Came clean and with every piece in good shape, awesome set. I want to pick up a couple more now. Does anyone know if there are straight pieces of this smaller track?

  25. My wife and son built this last week, they both enjoyed the build. A set I only bought to sell hence the 'ebay' photo. Quite an impressive finished product even though HP doesn't interest me.

  29. I wouldn't sell a single one until the holiday season, then i'd consider maybe releasing a few in my stash. This set is going to continue to grow and hasn't even come close to peaking yet. Heck, you could pick the GGWB for around 14.00 at clearance at walmart around the holidays. Hold em'.

  39. Sold some mega bloks in a lot of minifigures. I happened to sell to the one mega bloks collector snob out there. He says I left a few random pieces out-of a lot (99% minifigs with a few tree stump things), and a cape is different color. I can shenanigans, but no one ever buys mega bloks except this guy. I just about want him to file a SNAD case, because there is no way I would want to keep that crap

  40. I just spent 30 min on one Powerseller reporting his listings. The "custom" lego are in lego category and not lego. It is search manipulation and not allowed. Everyone that reads this should report at least one listing today

  41. While I appreciate the comments about the picture from all members, I think it is a rather innocent and fun picture that exemplifies the fun of LEGO. One does have to be careful of what is posted on the internet, but in this case, I really don'r see any major problems if the parents are the ones who posted the picture.
