It's time to use them EBay Bucks $100 Babies R Us Gift Card for $85 - EBay Daily Deal $100 Barnes and Noble Gift Card for $88 - EBay Daily Deal

We built this set over the weekend. I think it's a big winner. Really genius that they selected it. My son has spend the whole weekend off and on building new mazes. It just fits the Lego mindset so brilliantly. Then the little bastard made a covered maze where you can only see the start and finish spots. That is frustrating let me tell you.

Finished my riaad.

Finished my waterfall moc. Might tinker with the plants on and off.

Today I built the 75095 Tie Fighter and I didn't mind the repetitive parts of the build because you can essentially build two sections at once. I really appreciated the detail given by the design team at the front of the manual but I greatly detested being instructed to put stickers on AFTER attaching the wings to the cockpit AND placing pieces to secure the wings and obstruct the panel that I have to put stickers on. It would have been much better to put the stickers on earlier. **Make a note - if you plan to build this, and use the stickers, put the 4 arrow stickers on before you attach the wings.** This is a very accurate depiction of a Tie Fighter but it still a very weak UCS compared to other large Star Wars sets. I really find this inferior compared to the most recent UCS sets that I have built: the Imperial Shuttle, Super Star Destroyer, and Red 5 X-wing to name a few. One thing that really detracts from the final display is the clumsy stand that blends in too much with the wings. I would love to see Lego create clear technic pieces to make the UCS sets appear that they are in flight. The stand works great for sets that have contrasting colors (see 10212) but not as well in this particular case. In the end, I am glad that I own this set for my display but I am happier that I received 1004 points from TLG for the purchase because it's really overpriced based on a piece count and the overall build. My fiancee built the Hot Air Balloon Friends set (to go with our modular town and soon to be built Ferris Wheel). I have loved this set since it came out but it looks like it may be a hard sell from an investment standpoint because it was simply everywhere for too long without selling. I saw these on "empty" Lego shelves in multiple locations over the winter so this is a definite long term hold but it's a great little set and truly unique (no picture).

It is my belief that this particular promotion was geared towards LEGO contributors and LUG members, with the remaining tickets given away by store managers at their discretion. We had to go through the LEGO Ambassador program to get ours, but while I was picking mine up, the store manager was gracious enough to give my wife one, stating she would not have been allowed in the store that morning without one. Jeff did not get one for his wife, so she has to sit in the car. LOL.

I sold 3 of my 12 at-ats for 215.00 each plus shipping over the last week and a half. Averaged close to 100% profit after fees, and shipping. Planning on using this cash on some may the 4th purchases.

Lego tanks, all from the same builder. More on his page.

I have a lot of work ahead of me to turn the missus into someone who would go to a LEGO SW fan event for fun. (1) She'd need to become more interested in SW (she does watch the movies with us... so that's partly done) (2) She recently started complaining about the amount of LEGO we have - little does she know I have about 20 sets waiting for our kids to build .... (3) She's not convinced adults should even be touching LEGO (though she can be swayed provided the setup looks really professional - our Winter Village build didn't get any comments) - I'm hoping to get her to build something with us over the summer, but my hopes are dim. Perhaps if everyone sits at the table with their own set and we have one for her too, that might do the trick (I have a Birds set and a NYC skyline earmarked for that purpose) (4) Shopping for LEGO is not something she'd have patience for. Kudos to all of you who either managed to convert your S.O., or were clever enough to pick someone who already had an interest in LEGO to begin with. LEGO wasn't on my radar when we started dating, and has only slowly crept back into my life over the last 5 years. So I wasn't even aware I had to vet her on her LEGO likes

I am only halfway through this gem of a clip, but CW FANS should watch this as well. There were so much insights to fill in the gap between CW and Rebels especially regarding Ahsoka & Maul (unless you do not want to be spoiled ). Dave Filoni is really a SW fan and knows a lot about it. Seriously, if Disney put Dave Filoni in charge over movie 9 and beyond I would stop complaining about ANY SW movie past or present Too bad the cameraman seemed to fall asleep towards the end of the clip ETA: Damn just listen to him dissecting the season 2 finale: temple levels, light & dark, ascend & descend. And tell me you do not want to see something like those in the SW movies as well. Lol now I need to re-watch the season finale again

Can I make a suggestion, this could be one of those things you end up talking about for ages, so maybe someone should start it's own thread and we can get one of the mods to move the rest of the TRU code posts there. We can then try and keep this thread for the deals, few as they are at the moment.

One of my favorite games as a kid. I remember trying to beat my best time over and over. I'm sure I still have it in a box somewhere.

Ok here we go with 2 more ideas from the jkbrickworks.com website: Golf Maze Star Wars Maze (#2):

Excluding Tumbler and Helicarrier...

please try to keep this thread about May the 4th and related activities, promos, etc... we have ample topics about spouse and our lego 'addiction'.

This goes into the duet category but still works for ladies night. Yes, I am still doing that 'cause I'm weird like that. Ha.

They are legit. My company at work has done business with them for years. They probably just got slammed and are trying to catch up. I got mine after about 7-10 days. No issues.

If I got my wife on that list, I'd be in for a lot of trouble ..... ;-)

I sold PA last fall for just over $100 and thought that was a nice return. I had no idea that set could go this high. I also clearly did not buy enough AT-TEs when they were readily available for $60-65. Some recent sales for me: FBA Fallingwater $225 Technic Helicopter 9396 $179 MF Ghost Train $120 Batcave 6860 $120 A-wing $78 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid $50 Council of Elrond $48 Merida's Highland Games $37 Ariel's Amazing Treasures $30 Riddles for the Ring $31 Superman vs. PA Lex $28 (I lost all faith in this set going anywhere. Still made some money but not nearly enough based on how long I've had them.) FBM Sith Fury-class Interceptor $161 + shipping

It's not really pertinent, the deal was that you got gift cards, that deal is over. This is the daily deals thread, as in what deal is available for us right now to grab. This thread is being treated as a generic UK/Europe thread at the moment rather than as a deal thread.

Seems weird to shoot yourself in the foot by pulling a product nationwide due to one shop´s misdemeanours. Is Axl Rose running Lego stock these days too? I´d love PS to TOOS here for 6 months, that´d help slim the market down.

Wwwoooowwwww.....I remember this as a kid. Must find one on ebay, dad and I played this all the time.

So obviously, the genius who designed the B-Wing died sometime between ep 6 & 7 (SW Rebels FTW !!!!!)

Just posting the song here because the music video is a touch too

As Mondale would say, 10199, you are no 10188.

Well, we all know this ain't happening.

I guess I shouldn't complain about stupid people. They are the ones that help this community. LOL Maybe I'm just jealous because I went to Target yesterday and couldn't find any.

It's a great way to reward the biggest fans I think. A way to get a truly fun collectable item on a special day. Mine wil go into my secret Lego treasure stash. For my kids to decide what to do with in 25 years :-)

Ford were still making Mustangs with live rear axles till up until a couple of years ago and Boeing are still making 747´s so evolution for big organisations is tough in the real world too.

The answer is still in the thread, but here it is again anyway... Most people who get banned blow past their purchase limits or exceed promo purchases. They also use multiple accounts and use other questionable tactics. I think the policy of buying one to build and one to save has been a safe policy for many LEGO fans.

That's more like it. Time to do some shopping.

I've got a feeling I may upset them in store when I use my gift cards. 32 of them and I'll be asking them to price match some items. Still not heard anything back about online codes.

The yellow ones are no longer in production in and were used in several popular retired sets: Taj Mahal (4x), VW Beetle (4x), UCS Millennium Falcon (16x) and the UCS SSD (6x). Even used they're hard to find for less than 10 EUR. So it looks like you could make a few thousand profit on them (depending on what you paid for them).

When a company continues to experience higher sales on poorer product - it is difficult for them to stay on the right path.

Although a mini or micro version of the Cinderella's Castle would be cool, this would have to be a $400 set to do it justice. Let's face it, Cinderella's Castle is about as iconic as it gets with Disney, so why cheese out? I'm sure many of you that have visited Disney World/Land realize it is a vacation for the wealthy, with a stay in a Disney resort easily exceeding $5000.00 for a week for a small family. If people can afford $5000.00 or more for a Disney vacation, they can afford $500.00 for a set that could be considered the "ultimate souvenir." Price is not the issue with this set. My gut tells me it would be so successful, that if done correctly, it would never retire...

Walmart manager success story #2 for me. First three were marked prices. The rest were managerial markdowns. Smallest wave 1 Elves set x2 Anna's Sleigh Friends 2013 Advent x6 My first Lego Fire Station Mirkwood Forest Spiders Dol-Guldar Battle

Just finished building this thing of beauty, and I have to say, what an absolutely fantastic set, so much detail, one of my favourites! I just wish I had bought more a few years back because a set like this will just continue to rise in value!!!

Hitting quote on the mobile app just so you can see the frigging post and then accidentally hitting reply

75021 Republic Gunship $230 shipped eBay. Paid MSRP minus 10% membership discount at BN about 5 months ago.

Double like for the sandy planet effect

Sorry, couldn't resist....

I recently finished the pool hall and started piecing my town together. Still have several buildings to add, just moving stuff around and coming up with ideas. I want to do two blocks and a park but I'm going to need a wider space.

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.

Buying a large exclusive set is like eating at a buffet: take what you want and eat what you take. When you're done with your first plate though, you can't take the uneaten food back to the buffet line and exchange it for something different that looks better. On a serious note either keep your Tower Bridge, try to trade it, unload on Craigslist for minimal loss, etc, but don't return it 9 months after you bought it. It's a practice known as stock manipulation. In all honesty, if you can't afford to hold on to one TB AND acquire other sets, you probably aren't ready to jump into LEGO investing right now. This games takes LOTS of capital.

I have never had an issue with the guest checkout option. (Zero feedback, random username) It always makes me nervous, but have never had problems.

Could be worse, we could get this...
