Many people are not aware the "Attic" theme is the biggest hidden investment theme in all of Lego. Especially wife people...

Picked up this lot for £12 a while back, and just got round to building it with the nipper last night. God those old style instructions are hard work on the eyes, made so many mistakes.

Good grief, this thread...

My boys got this set and absolutely love it! It is a fantastic new concept for Lego and I think this will be quite popular! We have built our way through all of the design ideas included in the instruction book, and now we are making up our own puzzles. Endless possibilities! This one's a winner in my book!!

Coolest coffee table I've even seen.

I'd point you to the Ethics thread, but I don't want to encourage the behavior in there either. If you don't see the issue with buying something at a price with the premeditated intention to just return it to a store that doesn't have it in-stock to "try" and get another price/deal because you have it in your hand with or without receipt, then I suggest you sludge through that thread.

It's iconic for Scooby-Doo. This set going to be a lot quicker to double up when retired than a lighthouse or a plane

*whew* Cleaned up the thread. If you've got new finds for the B&N deal, please think about adding them here in the DD thread. Otherwise, all the talk about what you've found, how far you had to drive, how much spent, etc., take it to the B&N Clearance thread please: Thank you!

Bulk Lego bag for $45 with the 4867 instructions showing, which is why I bought it. Looks like most of the set is in there and come to find out looks like a lot of 10217 is also in there. Score!!

Found 1 21110 at TRU yesterday. and It's on sale for $0.98. Unbelievable.

Hmm, I'm guessing....Stretch?

"Heeeere's your sign!"

Why is everyone so damn shady?????

Some high res shots for those who haven't seen them yet..

I noticed on Reddit people posting that their Barnes and noble is having 50% off many sets such as attic theme, some superhero and some Star Wars sets. They said some were in the clearence bin others they had a cashier scan. I have not gone to mine to check, but they usually don't have clearence Lego other than clocks and watches.

I honestly can't complain about how I have been treated by Walmart. I don't have a college degree and they gave me the opportunity to earn nearly $50k a year. I certainly agree that it is tough and might agree that is is under appreciated. There are a lot of positions in Walmart that I feel associates are underpaid, I am just not one of them.

I put down my $1K deposit for a Tesla Model 3 today. Felt a little insane doing it without any info on the car, but I'm in.

Buy everything that's either on sale and/or in a pink and purple box. Exo Suits are near the end of their life cycle, AND on sale. I'd buy at least 50-100 of those. Chima is being phased out. Now is the time to load up. Welcome aboard the money train. Next stop, Profitville. You'll be thanking me six months from now when all of these sets I just mentioned are selling for five times what you paid for them. Welcome to the club. Glad to have you.

Send what you have. The Space shot can be used if better than what we have. We have a good one, but you never know. Thanks.

I could replace it with Justin Trudeau if you want... I'll leave politics out of the DD, but it was just too damn funny to pass up. Whether you like Obama or not, that's a classic finger pointing picture.

I'm amused that this is coming from a Canadian. It was popular with me 40 years ago. And it's popular with my 4 year old. So, yes. I will ad this little nugget - the actor voicing Freddie has been the same actor (Frank Welker) since Scooby Doo started in 1969.

In cases where a customer asks for a return a seller will have the upper hand if they just authorize the return and don't get into a back and forth discussion with the buyer . While def not bullet proof , it does fulfil the sellers obligations until the item is returned in a A-Z claim. If seller keeps arguing - no aiming this at OP- without authorizing the return , said seller can kiss his money and the item goodbye .

Found these two retired guys at B&N for 50% off. Add in my 10% off with my membership and discounted gift cards from eBay and they came out to just $17.60 each. Score. Left lots of other 50% off City, Chima, and Technic sets on the shelf.

Troop Transport would be my recommendation.

Ach, Low! I can't forget this, I saw it live. SO this guy gets a figure?

Built this with my boy a week ago...pretty happy with the end result.

I let my nephew build one of the morrow dragon ninjago sets I got for $35 a few weeks ago. It kept him busy for hours while the rest of us packed (we're moving somewhere warm) ☀️ It was so worth it for him to not keep asking me for something to do and make a mess

Care to expand? The only issue I've noticed is the limited tilt issue which I fixed using JKBrickWorks' fix, but that is not so much an issue as more of a preference thing. The maze works totally fine without the fix. I think this is an amazing set. My son built his first custom maze and I just stumbled upon JKBrickWorks' Mini Golf Maze, which I'm sure will act as inspiration for our future mazes. Ideally I get some more parts (see - that's where this set is clever) to allow me to keep some Mazes without having to take them apart each time. Time to find sets with 8x16 plates in them

Trailers are kind of like your garage, you put things in it with a plan to take care of it later and then one day you realize you have on overwhelming problem. The store I work for rents the trailers at about $500 per month. An average Walmart store will generate around $500,000 in profit per month, on sales of 6-11 million. Trailers costs are a trivial (assuming you only have a few). The manpower involved in taking care of the problem once you created it is huge. There are a few legitimate reasons for trailers. Anytime there is a remodel you will get 10-30 trailers, Black Friday is 5-10 and layaway is 5-10. I know of one nearby store that owns its own trailer and it uses it to store fixtures. I suppose its possible that some stores own their trailers. I imagine that if Walmart builds a location that is much busier than the building was designed for they will need additional space in perpetuity. The backroom of my store has slots for around 400 pallets. Each truck gives you another 26 slots, though highly inefficient space. Lets use Black Friday as an example. You have 10 truckloads of freight that need to be in the store by Thanksgiving day. These are currently stored outside in trailers (legitimately due to space issues). That means you need to clear space in the store for 260-400 pallets (assuming some came double stacked). Two weeks before Black Friday you start thinning out the main aisles of the store (called action alley) but the reality is you can't clear that much space. You put as many as you can in the backroom but that clogs aisles so it is rather limited. The easy answer is to pull the Black Friday freight out of trailers and put the inventory currently on the sales floor into the trailers. If you have great sales on a Black Friday then you will sell through the product and can pull your freight back to the floor. If not, you have a serious space problem. Given the sales at Christmas, the freight doesn't stop coming in. You barely have enough staffing to process the new freight let alone 5 trailers of old. If you don't get those trailers emptied Black Friday weekend it is too late. Its quite possible that space or time become an issue in the run up to Christmas and additional pallets are put into the trailers. So the trailers sit with a mess of freight until January. Now in January your staffing is dramatically cut for about 3 weeks, not to mention the sales are lower so not as much merchandise is moving. Now you are looking at February. I assume you see where I am going. February & March the priority is resetting shelves (called mods). Now you are looking at 4 months of merchandise getting older. The stuff in the trailer just isn't that valuable to the company. An interesting note is everything in the trailers needs to be listed (called trailer listing) or it is not covered by insurance. This is rarely done because it is time consuming and because no one was planning on leaving the trailer full for 4-400 months. This is why a store shows 20 in stock but has no location. Usually the trailer problem is an indicator of bigger problems in the store. So when a Market Manger (like a District Manager) finds out what is going on, his/her priority is not emptying trailers that cost a few thousand a month. It is fixing the overall store and the management. Eventually the merchandise will be split up between all the stores in the market. So our 5 trucks of freight is spread out between 10 stores. The 13 pallets one store got is likely completely different merchandise than anyone else got. This is one of the reasons why we randomly find old stuff in one store but not others. You asked if other large retailers do this, I don't know but I do know there are no retailers as large as Walmart. There may be some Targets that rival sales of specific Walmarts, but as a whole Walmart is in a different volume category. Sam's Club, Costco and Home Depot have sales numbers per store as high but don't deal with anywhere near the volume of freight.

I am sorry for all underpaid, underappreciated americans who need to find another way of income because many of us cannt do it with just one job...

I always knew you were a California Raisin.

Star Wars Episode V Hoth Base

Nexo Knights. Buy as many of themas you can. Also, Chima's just retiring so you'll be able to get some good discounts before they disappear.

Hmm....
