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

The grammar police will be with you shortly.

We're all waiting for the next Ebay promo before spending our certificates

Please be classic, please be classic...

What's an adverb?

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".

A complete, used but great condition Pirates Chess 2009 edition for £40

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.

No tricks. Just grinding out deals Here's the find of the day

Netflix and LEGO?

My girlfriend and I have been building Parisian Restaurant and binging Netflix all weekend. I'm pretty sure she's hooked on LEGO. All according to the plan.

I thought Geoffrey delivered these to you personally, with a slice of pumpernickel?

Well, that would be par for the course for LEGO's timing.

Love Bug Love Bug !!! I'd be all over this!

survey says : 4 per case... i thought they might be 10 per case. and up into the rafters they go!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-75060-Star-Wars-Slave-I-Building-Toy-1996-pieces-Read-/201555215386?hash=item2eeda0841a:g:q1oAAOSwud1XAopb New in Damaged Box Slave 1 $179 shipped. 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!

If Brickpicker only had a stock alert system...

The Brick Fan is reporting that there is three full sets in a case with Alien, Genie, Mickey, Mr. Incredible, Stitch, and Syndrome getting an extra in each box.

Ant-man took a little jump this weekend - sold one for $63

In all fairness, it's taken lots of hours/gas and been over 7 states You should explore southern WI (before I get there)

I used to collect Those and the call of duty mega bloks. People like to crap on the brand but they never use stickers and they're a lot cheaper so they're doing something right.........

End of day summary: The last picture the 3 bigger boxes were $3, the foal was $1 and the poly was $2. The TRU bricktobers were $9.98 and the trees were $3.49.

Used $9 in SYW Surprise points for another Rey's Speeder. K-Mart has been good to me this year.

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.

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?

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.

heck i would even take a smaller VW model if it's herbie. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/57454 done by orion-pax (Alexander Jones )

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'.

Used my TRU 85% GCs on a Slave 1 this morning. I just joined the reward program, so we'll see how savings accrue in the future...

The opposite of a subverb!

All I know is that if you'll keep showing off like that with those iron man polys I'll contact you and ask to return the favor, and how many polys I sent you for purchase price and shipping only? And what is your purchase price of those GameStop polybags? ($0?) just kidding, we're good, I'm glad at least some of us find them in those numbers...

Until he turns 18, reads an article about how LEGO minifigures from the period 2000-2020 are now worth $1000+, and wants his Silver Centurion back so he can buy new games for his holoroom. Never ask why, just go with the flow. BTW, most buyers seem to be located in Asia (same for the Iron Patriot/Gun Mounting System polybag) - likely this polybag is not available in all countries as a freebie.

LEGO store had Easter Chicks unmarked on shelf, but they rang up $4.98 so I got a few to be able to cash in my 100 bonus VIP points x2. Then immediately used those points plus 200 previously saved rewards to purchase a 21305 Maze for $49.99, plus 1 more Easter Chick to get the Mr Freeze poly. Yay me!

In for 3

For those house guests who just don't get grammar. Sadly my favourite, the Lose/Loose mug was smashed

For all the conspiracy theorist out there. I Went to the Lego store today and they threw a magazine in my bag. In the magazine was the attached comic. Is this Legos way of foreshadowing?

I'll wait for it to be on Brick Classifieds

^ Yes, please! We love these LEGO Justice League movies. They're pretty good. And I'm loving the minifigs. My only complaint - the number of minifigs they show in these films that are lacking a real world minifig. I'd love to have a Batmite, Guy Gardner, Giganta, Cheetah, Bizarro (I know), Bane big fig, and Desaad.

I heard my wife yell from the basement "retired huh? does that mean you can finally get rid of some of this junk?"

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

There is a plate with the specs.

Let the building begin [emoji1] this was a secondhand stillg got two MISB.

If I could get 5% interest on a FDIC insured account (I was getting 5.75% in 2008 -- sigh), I'd stop investing in lego right then and there. A risk-free 5% with no time spent packing and shipping? Sign me up.
