OK, this is so perfect for this thread, I'm sure you will think I'm making it up. We have received some "creative" packaging over the years. But today we received our first BrickLink order in a fruitcake box. Literally.

Keep an eye on this one over the weekend. At least 5 sold over the last couple of days around $585-590. That seller increased their price. Less than 10 offered below $600 + shipping. Prime is now at $615. eBay sales are trending up, too. http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Star-Wars-Death-10188/dp/B002EEP3NO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A33Y5VKEN2ZOAH We might have a creeper.

My son started this, but I ended up building the majority of it. 70603 Raid Zeppelin. Love the look of this thing!

I just pushed the latest updates for the Brickpicker Forum App. The iOS version will take a few days to get to the Apple store and allow you to update, but the Android version looks to be live already. I think it is version 5.0.13. It is a big overall update for this device. If some people who use it on Android can try it out, please let me know how it's working. I don't really have a great device to try it on. I am using the iOS version now and it looks like its working great and they may have finally fixed many of the missing link problems that it has been having.

Just like an ugly puppy. There will always be someone who appreciates it.

Ah, it only took 6 posts before this thread got turned into an extension of the bubble thread, that's impressive

Build this over the last few days, picked it up for £300 so happy. Quicker build than I expected, but looks fantastic. Bit big though, doesn't fit on my shelf without removing the top section of the tower.

more Mixels series 8, $80 ish shipped, $40ish buy in

That's verified poop.

Well there are solid reasons for a merger, move the headquarters to Ireland, tax inversion deals are all the rage, big tax savings, increase our buying power etc. I think the politicians are going to target it post election though, so it would have to be done soon.

Yes.

My son finished his 75053 The Ghost that he got for his birthday. His first major build to do by himself (he's 6). The kids are huge Rebels fans, so he loves it!

I like it more than the real car. It's also funny that the box says 2016 Movie! As if real fans won't know the difference.

I feel like I have to PSA this... This is a big deal in lots of parts; mainly in your pants. I won't go into the trials of a good friend who discovered his colon cancer at 42. He is very close to leaving behind a wife and two young boys. Get your butt checked, people. It's 5 minutes of discomfort that might save your life. ...after school special over. Please return to your normal frivolity.

It's like a 99 cents store for rich people.

...and the matching shirts.

@Poly 30286 , it should but just in case

Personally I'd grab a PC pre-retirement before GE on the secondary market. But it's definitely a judgment call based on instincts and reasonable arguments could be made either way.

I just received two Mystery Mansions from Amazon, and their seal-codes are both 14S6. Packaged early April this year...

...

hahahaha...love the Cybermen Beatles.

Speaking of which, I'm out of 15% GCs. I need GiftCardMall to come through this week.

On sale @ Amazon (again) for $38.35 (15% off/save $6.64) http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Ideas-21301-Birds-Model/dp/B00PE12ZJO

DO & BB should have at least a year of shelf life left on them. The PC - and to a lesser degree PR - are the two that nobody would be shocked to see hit EOL by the end of the summer.

TOOS at EU LEGO Shop at Home. Is the fat lady about to sing?

If I can find German chocolate at Five Below, anything is possible.

thanks, just placed order and got one

Of course the matching shirts, that's a given.

14S06 received today from LEGO Shop at Home

In Australia we had only one drop of this line. On eBay this set sells for roughly USD50. In our money it's sitting on an approx 50% rise in value.

i liked building this set, and it looks nice

No this was in Red Deer, AB. Was there to pick up 2 Ant Man sets =D

Found it by looking on how to best find clearance deals/daily deals

Bionicle Day. All $5 except Skull Basher was $2. Also price matched Pop Star Bus and Lighthouse at TRU with rewards to get to 50% off. And 5 Police Station Target.com.

Maybe not heavily discounted in Europe, but US investors should be weary. Target had a massive clearance of these about 1 year ago. These were $30USD, and people loaded up. I remember seeing pictures in the daily deals thread showing people with dozens of them. I wouldn't pay retail for these in the US, despite being retired.

I think it's due to the license with the Octan corporation.</joke>

HODOR!

$30 each? Sure, I guess so...

here is a "Red Grocer" that I just finished today. Actually, it is nearly finished..I'm just waiting for a few more pieces from bricklink! http://imgur.com/nuZH34i

This is the link I came here to post. I used it to bricklink a GG and it was incredibly helpful. Also has good tips in there for Cafe Corner and Market Street. I was able to bricklink mine with all new parts for $450, making the recommended substitutions in that thread (no sand green 1x8s, etc). I know someone was able to do it under $400, by spending more time carefully choosing their shops to buy from. I was also able to put together a Blue Grocer (all sand green parts swapped to sand blue) for under $300. It looks surprisingly good and is an excellent alternative if having the original color isn't absolutely required to you. If you are trying to bring the cost down, definitely go with Bricklink. While it may be easy to just try and buy it all from BnP, I'm fairly certain the cost of doing so is going to come close to just buying a used GG from eBay.

Both are must haves for the LEGO investor. But buy the one which you think is closer to EOL.
