That's no Lazarus pit....it's a Lazarus hot tub.

dang.I thought that LEGO had gotten Rurouni Kenshin license. Why does Ninjago need a batcave?

I am more than happy about buying limits - It helps protect me from myself.

Hey at least you've got dinner sorted, even if that yellow sticker will mean getting a bout of the trots

Amazon 21022 - Architecture: Lincoln Memorial - $22.75 (24% off)

Bricklinked 10185 Green Grocer! Substituted some pieces.

Late to the game again.

Amazon.com : Lincoln memorial : $20.78 (31% off) http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NHQHK3O/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1463071240&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=lego+lincoln+memorial&dpPl=1&dpID=51o8ilLqufL&ref=plSrch

Basically, yeah. With a €50 set that's clearanced to €20, generally means it's on it's way out and they're not really going to be able to easily find availablity of the set. If someone sees that the RRP is €50 and they're getting it for €40, they think they get a bargain. I'm happy with turning €20 in to €40 and then that €40 might become a Wall-E or Doctor Who as an example. I can give you a few examples, I bought an Ultra Agents Helicopter for €30, sold it for €55 the next week, RRP €70, or The Lego Movie Rescue Reinforcements, bought it for €30, sold it a few weeks later for €57.50, again RRP was €70. Means that I keep the cash flow ticking over, so when I find sets which I've marked as planned buys, I have more money to spend.

No longer a rumor per brickset:

Some good reductions from Smyths on architecture sets.

Finally bought a Slave 1 at TRU with 20% and 10% and Gift Card Partial pay. Also got free Captain America cycle.

Tried this but I must have the most efficient fulfillment center in history. They said it was too late

Thank you to Brick Picker Member Wolvergeek for coming to my garage sale today. His purchase has made my wife extremely happy. Thank you

In case anyone missed it, the Formula Off Road Racer switched to 27% off on Sunday night, if memory serves: http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-6100253-Technic-Formula-Off-Roader/dp/B00NHQHK1G?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I'm thankful some of the low ballers are out of the way now for FBA. 60061 - City: Airport Fire Truck - $85 ($13 at TRU clearance & TRUTH) 60048 - City: Police Dog Unit - $53 ($17 at Wal-Mart during Jan/Feb clearance)

I think the Sandcrawler wins the comparision....:

This set makes Weathertop look like UCS.

Classic Batcave for $245 @ eBay. Tempted to buy this myself so I'm putting it here hoping someone removes the temptation. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-Batman-Classic-TV-Series-Batcave-Set-76052-DC-Comics-Super-Heroes-NEW-/152088675968?hash=item2369310680:g:0-0AAOSwWntXM2Dz

It is a great set., I should have bought 20 of them, not 10!

Now hard to find listings below RRP on ebay or bricklink - I think I may have been wrong about this one and that its performance will be better than crawler or unimog despite being very hoarded as there seems to be demand.

Looks like a nice start to a set and then they just stopped. There have been a lot of sets like that recently.

Well they got the "Chaos" part right. I am honestly confused.

That's what happens when it's only half a set a-la-carbon-freezing chamber. Stairs and a door to nowhere.

It's the same build as a cheap friends set that was like a kiddie pool.

The whole set isn't too impressive.

Only if you buy now

Soooo...... in another 2 hours will it go down further? Well I went ahead and ordered a couple so that it would trigger a price change.

I wouldn't really call that a poll. They only looked at the original reviews at the time of release. If you visit Rotten Tomatoes now, when you can view everything in context, the prequel trilogy doesn't fare as well, even The Force Awakens takes it down. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/search/?search=star+wars Don't forget this gem.

Just found and supported this new (since May 9th) submission: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/140859 It's not perfect, and I think a Lego Designer can improve on it, but it's a good start. Would love to have Donald Duck's 313 car next to the minifig!

Wish i could pre order this for delivery June 1. Whoever gets the serial number 0000000911 is a lucky beggar.

Just putting a note out there that I am waiting on an updated data for the US from last month+. File was way too small to be accurate, that is what is holding up the price guide update. I will let you all know when I started processing it all.

Yes, I put more faith in FiveThirtyEight. I'm guessing you don't read the NYT or follow American politics, so I'll fill you in on FiveThirtyEight's bona fides. The founder, Nate Silver, helped pioneer big data analytics in sports and politics. In 2012, he and his group correctly predicted the outcomes of all 50 states in the Presidential election, and he authored a NYT best seller that went on to be named the number 1 non-fiction book of 2012 by Amazon.com. That's not to say that there was as much thought put into this particular poll, but this type of polling is one of their areas of expertise. Rotten Tomatoes is useful, but not in a scientifically rigorous way. Their aggregate system is a dubious way to measure something like a film's "quality". In the FiveThirtyEight poll, people were asked specifically to pick the best movie out of the six, and only the responses from people who had seen all six movies were considered. The RT "study", on the other hand, was not a head-to-head comparison. The reviewers of one movie may not have even seen the others, or may not have submitted a review for the others. To further muddy the water, the RT "study" cherry-picked original release reviews. This is a questionable methodology because it ignores contextual biases. For example, Jedi may have been perceived as a disappointment because it directly followed A New Hope and Empire. Similarly, Eps I and II set the bar pretty low for Sith. On the other hand, one could argue that the prequels were such an unfamiliar departure from the OT that it artificially deflated their initial reception. These contextual biases make an objective comparison difficult, particularly when comparing reviews from two narrow and distinct time frames. Keep in mind that these reviews, assigned a number score, were written within the context of their respective contemporary summer blockbusters. Furthermore--even without consideration to those contextual biases--there are many films currently celebrated as classics that were dismissed by critics upon their debut, only to be rediscovered and re-appraised years later. Critics change their minds, films grow or diminish in stature, and this project ignores all of that to arrive at its conclusion. No study, poll, or person is completely free from biases, which is what allows this debate to continue on ad naseum. However, when trying to gauge consensus opinion among fans, the most appropriate type of poll is one which ranks the films relative to one another (i.e. head to head). I will say that this debate has been somewhat illuminating to me. I had no idea that there were people in the world who would argue for any of the PT over any of the OT. Even the attached IMDB results surprise me.

Yea I normally love Batman sets, but not this one....

They are $16 now (at least that's what the site shows), but 4 in my cart activates the $10 back on $45, a $10 back on $50 coupon, and a $5 off $50 coupon, for a total of $62.50 tax included, so ~$15.65 per unit. Oh, and $20+ back in points for the next purchase.

I was just about to comment on all the Ninjago style bat vehicles.

HAHAHAHAHA Seriously right? Who cares about a kid Anakin. It was just one bumbling mess after another, and the kid was annoying enough as it is. I'm sorry, but Darth Vader in the original trilogy, never came off as a whiny little b****. He was a badass with obviously conflicting emotions near the end to see his son all grown up and resist the power to the dark side. You can feel the conflict within Vader to believe he could change as well. He was able to convey all of that without a single line of dialogue. On the other hand, we had to listen to Hayden Christianson tells us every single time something was wrong with him, as if the audience is too stupid to figure it out themselves. Not to mention that the two personalities period don't match up. And I see where you are going, but we do need ANH to set up the other stuff. Without the plans and ensuing plot to destroy the first death star, we wouldn't have any idea what these people were fighting for to begin with. Or what the deal with any of the conflict is going on. Plus the prequel trilogy ruins so many things outside of vader. They ruined the Jedi. They ruined the force. Etc. It was just pure garbage films, with crappy dialogue that no one in any universe would ever say. It's interesting that you are essentially saying the prequel trilogy is better than TFA, which is laughable in it's own right. And so what if they recycled plots? Disney didn't need to advertise it as a remake, because it's a sequel!!! It takes place 30 years later. It's on the same timeline as the original. It cannot by definition be a remake. They used a lot of similar devices, but it's to wash that nasty taste of the prequels out and remind everyone what star wars is about. And besides, the torch is being handed over to a bunch of new characters that are infinitely more interesting than any of the throwaway characters from the prequel trilogy. The bolded part has got to be the funniest thing written. The prequel trilogy is not anywhere NEAR the level of story writing that Game of Thrones is on. George R R Martin actually knows how to write a universe with compelling characters that you can truly root for. The prequel trilogy reads like a damn 5 year old wrote it. In fact the dialogue is just as clunky and unbelievable as 50 shades of grey. Pure garbage writing. With regards to Boba Fett. I'm glad he wasn't the main villain. Don't get me wrong, Fett is cool and all, but he does go down like an amateur in the movies. It didn't take much to foil his evil plots. Not exactly the scariest bounty hunter. And no, most people aren't upset with Lucas because he didn't 'remake' the OT. They are pissed because he gave us the abortion of a trilogy that is Episodes 1-3. Of course you can pick apart the movies for the Death Star and everything, but none of the movies were going to win any high awards for storytelling. It's the adventure it takes you on that's the key. TFA recaptures that feeling so well. There is a reason that people went back multiple times to see it. Even crappy movies can make a ton of money, but eventually people will get the hint, and it will disappear quickly.

Same builder as above.
