I bought a second hand 10212 last week and built it at the weekend. I had no idea of the scale of this thing. It's HUGE. Pic next to my 10188 for comparison. For 350gbp I consider this a bit of a bargain.

So the Circus that was Star Wars has finished(filming anyway) and the long process of returning everything to its natural condition, Bird sheet'n'all, is slowly underway. What have we learned? Well, apart from sneaking over a mountain with a telescopic lens might get you arrested, or worse, have your photos deleted (thank zod for IT). Confidentiality Agreements aren't worth a Folk in rural Ireland! Mark Hamill can't pour a pint of Guinness. And well, just see the pics below.....

"Don't worry. The kids at the orphanage are going to really enjoy these."

You should get her name and complain with corporate. None of her business what you buy or do with them tbh. Or complain to higher management.

6344 Jet Speed Justice from 1993. I'm helping out a fellow LUG member who wants to rebuild a ton of sets he has in storage. Everything is complete and bagged and instructions are included. Makes life pretty easy.

Twinsies! (Finished mine last weekend after it sitting in its box for half a year):

Was at Toys R Us today. They had 10 out on the shelf, but they were each in a clear, plastic security case, like they use for video games and such. They also had part of a case behind the register that they let me buy as well. I felt a little bad as no-joke, the cashier lady actually told me something to the tune of this; "Y'all need to quit buying all of these. Save some for the kids. Comin' in here buyin' them and selling them on Ebay, I know what you're doing. You too old to come here and buy them for yourself." It was awkward. Made me feel dirty.

Took kids to Legofest in Kansas City today. They had a blast. Also got freebies: Electro polybag, First Order General polybag, Friends Mini Golf polybag, and a small boxed Pirates set...

I try to not be holding the hot potato when the music stops...

It will be. A few of my WM's had them around $59 during the winter wave if I remember correctly. I passed entirely. Now those same stores have all restocked and are at retail. I can see this set going for around $40-$45, maybe lower at a few locations. It just sits and sits in my stores at retail.

I'm reflecting a little tonight. Since I'm selling some Arkham Asylum's already, does this mean I'm starting to crack? Is the fable becoming real?

Better Hoth base than 75098

C'mon, it's not that bad. Sure, it looks nothing like the ship from the show and the colors are all wrong and it's basically a log with weird folding wings and....Who am I kidding, it sucks. Has cool mini figs though.

Similar to me. I set out to double my money but if something gets there really soon I hold (greed) and if it seems it won´t, I try to cut losses. This means occasionally selling too late but rarely too soon as few sets these days are sleepers. It also depends on what you do with the profits. if reinvesting is the aim then the time of year you sell and reinvest also has an influence in order not to get stuck with sets that never retire, but that´s when to buy, which is a whole different thread!

So with the AoH set, the recently announced 75158 Frigate and this lot which includes another X Wing, which is only different by its colour. I'd say overall that the 2016 has not been a vintage year for Star Wars Lego.

Target has LEGO Super Heroes Darkseid Invasion 76028 for $41.99. Extra 5% off with Target Redcard.

42030 Volvo & 42039 24hr car 20% off at amz, matching tru maybe

Probably some random artwork they found. There's some artwork where it has 3 rings. The original Ralph McQuarri art even had 5 or more rings.

10% fees and shipping won't be cheap, he should have taken your offer

Looks like you've got a drinking problem <duck> ... door's in upside down

Dreary and cold day, games were cancelled, so let's build.

Age of Ultron 2015

Sandman attack

Big time Bricklink sell today - 2 parts, for a total 7 cents. Not a set, but I had to share the big time sell.

Finally started venturing into MOC'ing. Started by using our extra Pet Shop (not a fan of it as a double) and our small collection of spare parts. It's pretty hollow but it kept the Bricklink costs to a minimum. We call it "Cloud High Rise".

We needed a bridge for a section in our little city...so we built this bridge. It is basically a modified version of #4852 (Spiderman The Final Showdown), with road baseplates from #6600 (Highway Construction). It is the right length and height that we needed...Did not turn out too bad. Just not sure if I am completely satisfied with it though...

Welcome aboard! ... it may start with small intensions but that doesn't last long once the treasure hunt fever takes over :-) Ya know you really have the bug bad when you spend 20+ minutes investigating photos someone posts from a local classified add from the other side of the continent!

I wrote a blog entry sort of about this topic. It's more of a primer to give people an idea of what some of the things to look out for when starting bulk buying

You are to late...

Some people were picking these up for $40 during the last WM clearance round (Jan/Feb). Definitely not everywhere.

At the southern most Walmart in the United States! Hour drive was well worth it! 9 IST and a bunch of other stuff

I think the real winner of this wave will be the TIE Fighter/A-WIng.

For me each set is different. I have spreadsheets with what I paid on each and I update prices worth around every month so I can track trends. For some I am holding until a newer movie comes out. I had many Jurassic world sets and was fairly confident by reading news on Lego they were coming back in stock for Christmas, so I sold them at profit before Christmas then bought some back on discount recently. Others I actually buy just because I like them and those are the hardest to figure out when to sell because I had no real plan, we just really liked them and bought a few extra. i occasionally find old sets from around 2008 at my Walmart and I usually just list those right away as many of the city sets are getting remade and doubling my money in a day seems great!

You're starting a taboo subject in the deals thread. Que the 50 email notifications that have nothing to do with deals. Thanks in advance

that Mego figure in his underpants is Bo Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard. The gun labeled F is for Tomax/Xamot
