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.

Star Wars Maze

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.

True story.

I just picked up my invitation. Employee said that the free slug set is a poly of falcon escaping the slug. He wanted to show my a pic on his computer but couldn't find it anymore... We will c

That´s a new and very precise message. Did you ask for a clarification over an order cancellation or was this standard issue?

Finally found some of the SW sets on sale at B&N. My son will probably want to build the Micro At-at and the Shadow Troopers since we haven't built them yet, but I went ahead and picked up the others given the discount. They had several Mines and City sets too, which I left bc i had already picked up some that I wanted last week. Wish they would put some of the larger SW sets on sale!

I hope they can pull off something nice in the $350+ range. I would be so insanely disappointed to have another exclusive be underwhelming yet AGAIN this year from Lego. I'm already excited about the technic sets this year, especially the bucket wheel excavator, but dammit, they need to figure something out quick. Lego is really gambling this year. Up to this point, once a rumor came out, I was already ready to go to spend money without even looking at the sets, but they have me pretty worried now. I have my hopes pretty tampered. We'll see how everything goes once we get more information.

When it was in production, I bought a few hundred of those yellow corner technic bricks. Now over $10 each?? Woo hoo

Loved this as a Kid, in the UK it was called Screwball Scramble !

The only problem with bricklinking is the resale value. I bought a used set and built it still have the box and instructions but even with a used set the value is still tracking upwards. A bricklinked one will sell at around, if not less than the cost of its parts. Same as you see with 10179. If you just want one for you and not bothered about future value then go for it.

What baloney, obviously we all know the new Castle should look like this: ETA (dang it, my pic looks decent. I really tried to make it look bad )

I called first store and they said only by invitation, called second, she didn't know what I was talking about but took my name and number and said that she'll call me back. Just got the call and I'm invited

Finally a use for all those Advent calendar minibuilds

Motorized Mini Golf Maze Maze with Cars Benny's Maze Maze MAZE!

I put this together myself tonight. SDCC2015-3 Action Comics #1 I Bricklinked the parts. The roof is a change out, since that piece, in green, only exists in the original set. Superman is from the Dimensions Fun Pack. As a huge Superman fan, this was pretty cool to build. Hugely iconic to me.

While we are glad to have received an overwhelming response of interested members, I am regretfully writing now to inform you all that we have sold out of our initial order of the Disney series. We will be ordering more, but I do not anticipate securing the next deal until another 7-10 days from now. That being said, we will no longer be accepting orders at this time. Because price and ship date may change on our second order, I want to be sure of that before allowing more members to place orders. As for those who have already DM'd an order request, you should all have received a message saying that your invoice was sent. If you did not receive that message, or your invoice, please message back so that we can take a look at that. I want to apologize on behalf of our company for the shortage in stock this time around. We will do our best to get more stock in as soon as possible. Once the next order is secured, I will be sure to post again with a price and ship date. For those who have not ordered and would still like to, I do not anticipate the price to change on the second shipment. However, the ship date will likely be between late-May and the beginning of June.

The Muldwarg by Djordje

Here's the real May 4th offer: Edit to add: Another poster on Eurobricks as said they've seen a picture of the set, and that it's small - around 150 pieces. They also mentioned the scale to be similar to that of an Advent Calendar MF.

Simple.........just explain to him that money is more important than his happiness. Also explain to him that Lego is not a toy, it's a commodity only.

After reviewing the model with my dad, who's been on multiple occasions, I went ahead and did some tweaks. It didn't make sense that the mountain would crest above the aqueduct, so I trimmed it a bit. Then, looking at every arial shot, I couldn't avoid the fact that the hillside is completely forested. So I built some trees, had to get a little creative to make them small enough/fit the scale. Used a similar idea to what's done on the Detective's Office street tree, but smaller. Put in some green slopes here and there to dot the rocks with greenery. Then added a display stand and tiles, to label it like an Architecture set. New projected price point ~$602 according to BrickOwl's calculator. It requires 12 ultra rare parts, the "Tan Slope 1x2 Triple" (the cap pieces to the angled flanges on the bottom tier struts). There is only 1 seller in the world with stock, and he's charging $5.35 per piece. I guess there are more expensive parts out there, but rarely do you need 12 (or in the case that my dad wants a copy, 24) of them. Ugh. Quite happy with how it's turned out though! It would be super cool if Lego explored an "Ancient Architecture" sub theme at some point in the future. At this scale I suppose this is sort of a cross between Architecture and Creator Landmark, but it sure would be cool if they did it at any scale!
