I have a buyer in mind for all the sets that I sell they're just always bad about showing up.

Right..... who took your picture with your phone?

I might be on something, but I think you're onto something. I had to fight this crowd to the door.

I think he is using a selfie-stick.

It was a $90 set and has been avail at <$45 for many months. There's 200+ sellers on Amazon now, and I bet a lot of folks who snagged these at $30 at Target/Walmart. Would you LOSE money at $40 on this, no, probably not - but I expect it will take a very long time to get to even break-even. Compare it to the Mechdragon which saw similar pricing and availability, and it's been retired over a year and is still avail for $65 on Amazon. May take another year to get close to MSRP. So, if you want it as a build/gift, $41 for a $90 lego set is solid. If you want it for investment, I'd stay far far far away until the price gets to $30. And even then I'd be hesitant. Many Wave 1 Chima sets (retired approaching 2 years) are just now seeing their prices creep to MSRP, and only a few of the sets out of the line have shown gains at all. I'd strongly encourage you to put your investing dollars elsewhere. Really, that goes for the whole Chima line. Unless you're buying in at 66% off or more, I'd avoid.

Since you asked... listen carefully at 0:53. Yep... can't remember three things from a grocery list, but I can remember hearing about a new lego part in a designer video!

Earth 2. exciter = Zoom confirmed.

I'm thoroughly convinced that your Walmarts exist in a parallel universe.

Available at Walmart...

2 x 75054 AT-AT for 95 euro each.

My family had both the van & beetle for most of my life growing up, and I can quite easily say this is beyond beautiful well as incredibly accurate to the car while surprisingly still LEGO. Although the 2008 model might be considered a collector's item, to be honest that one was a poor model looking like somebody took a sandblaster to it. Anywho, only thing that could make this new one better would be a "Herbie" makeover.

Just hold on for the next round of double VIP. Just hold on for the next round of double VIP. Just hold on for the next round of double VIP. Just hold on for the next round of double VIP.

demand for this set seems inexhaustible. sold 8 in the last 4 days for $99.99 + $4.99 shipping each FBA.. still have 9 left. how high can this go - 150-200? 1 million dollars? infinity + 1? love sets like this that are made of money but sad to see my supply dwindle down. cue newbie77's "final uptick" comment. what will this years Raptor Escape be? it's out there right now sitting on the shelves.

The good news about real Chima is it's always discounted so heavily that China Chima can't compete. That is of course also the bad news about Chima.

Why the hate on narcissists indulging in their own narcissism ?? (say that 10 times fast ) IIRC Disney had banned those sticks from all of its theme parks

It took 30 minutes to POOF ??? You guys are getting slowwww

20% off everything - I don't think it will happen while these coupons are floating around until the end of July.

Lots of people part train sets, so if you know what extra track you need, bricklink maybe be a better bet.

Best I've got is when Kmart.com has them slightly reduced, and then buy in bulk (i.e.4 or more boxes) to get SYWR savings via a coupon etc. For straight track you might be better off going to BL or EBay and buy just straight track pieces, because the flex track is rubbish and you end up putting those pieces in a big bin anyways. Should cost you between $2 and $4 per straight track piece.

First trip, took 5 kids age 12 to baby to CA legoland. Did 5 day pass so got to see all.the stores multiple times FO star destroyer and kylo ren polybags in the big store and large one in back of park. There were disney minifigs and series 8 mixels by the truckload in every shop. Parrot polys and friends bowling in appropriate stores. Also the elf poly with girl on flying thing in appropriate stores. Avenger minifigure wall holder only in the minifigure store right when you enter, and it was sold out some days. The guess a Minifig game thing was everywhere. EV missing from big store and PR and DO only modulars they had when I was there, take that for what it's worth. Overall had a good time, glad we want while kids still young, they might not have liked it as much even in another year. I also was a good dad and brought a bag of around 70 old and lame minifigures (30+ of an Eros Chima guy with no helmet) for trading. Kids could trade like a boss by the time we left, their highlights were a few old astromechs, about 7 total friends, I found a Santa vader that had a stormtrooper helmet and a few more gems. Overall much much better minifigures than we left with.

Got my set yesterday from Lego Store. Very excited to display it next to Tower Bridge.

Sleep is so overrated.

50% off SSDs, part deux!

So that saying about lipstick is true for both pigs AND giraffes

The Hobbit Unexpected Gathering 79003 - $121 shipped on Amazon FBM (paid $52 at during Walmart clearance)

Got three sets on craigslist new in sealed bags but open boxes. $475 for all three. Seemed to good to be true but all legit

Same story as the tumbler, people trying to buy and flip to make a pound!! One already on eBay for £220 or best offer!! How is there any money in that deal!? My advice, if you have one, just enjoy building this beautiful set as opposed to flipping it!!

It warms my heart to see two hated corporate giants trying to crap on each other. Hopefully the average consumer will benefit in the end.

Ah square dancing! I had to do that in elementary school (was convinced that was some form of detention). I should have recognized it. I hope you partook!

I think selfie sticks are like sooooo cool cause I like dunno cause like I just wanna selfie like all the time and like don't wanna have to like ask a real person to like take my pic with my besties. Ewwwww like talk to someone?

10% off general merchandise at Meijer this Friday and Saturday

Just recieved my shipping confirmation for the ISD. Dank dir Mr. Ciglione! Just wondering hows that possbile, thit they clear out the storage and still found some Legos that didtn sold back than. hm...

Good to know. Luckily I bought some for 35 Euro. However, I gave one to my father as a birthday present. He was very delighted

Aren't we up to part 72 or so by now?

before and after

I would post pics but I'd be banned

Yes, yes I do.

QFLLs. Hope they are happy with their VIP points worth 10 euros and free fountains that will be worth max 5 euros.

Having done a wee bit of development (only a few months) on a project that involved credit cards/bank cards, yes the fees charged are pretty outrageous. They have a pretty robust system in place and they are highly protective of any IP (as one would expect) but the fees charged just to do the development and use their test systems were out of this world expensive.

I got out when all the dirty QFLLers and resellers got in. (Oh, wait...

No problem to order here: (Though I am not ordering it for that price! Then I'd rather buy it in Germany instead where it's €30 cheaper...)

You are full of cool stories bro!

so I got home today after running some errands, and there was a decent size Lego box there on the porch. i figured, wow, my Porsche is here already even though it was on back order (when i ordered it) The shipping box was large, but not as large as a Tumbler in a shipping box which I am familiar with. anyways, i open her up and this is in it.... ???? I got my much valued wall stickers I ordered, along with my fountain to crash my Porsche into..... but they also threw in a tank to bulldoze the fountain with??? is this a mistake, or something they do? receipt says legoland ticket voucher, fountain, and lego friends wall. total of $3.75 will the Porsche stil come? (scratching head) pp

One might laugh at that statement but thinking about it, it could be very conceivable. If recent events have taught us anything it's that you can't take anything for granted. The Town Hall retirement implied that Lego aren't afraid to rip up the history books and bin off poorly selling products ahead of 'predicted' end of life dates. Also with there being no modular retirement at the end of 2015 they showed that life cycles don't have to refresh annually, (although this could be merely to counter balance the additional retirement the year before) If we assume that normal service is to be resumed this year, trying to predict which modular will cease production is not an easy affair. After all Lego have proven that they no longer stick by the rule of retiring the oldest first. If you consider the two most likely candidates Pet Shop and Palace Cinema, both have their arguments for and against being kept on. Pet Shop is approaching it's 5th year and is now the longest standing modular, making it the most obvious choice to retire this year. However I would hazard a guess that the Pet Shop outsells the Palace Cinema by quite a margin, and with the recent release of the Brick Bank it's not inconceivable to see a corner modular making way.

What will happen first (if any) ? 1) PS retires. 2) G. R. R. Martin finishes the books You are taking it to a whole new level here... can't imagine what sort of stuff goes in your stock room.

Finally got around to building the GE with my son. This was the last build in a 4 set lot from last Dec. I'm missing 4 windows and a couple of trivial elements that I subsituted for now. For me, the build wasn't as interesting as the Fire Brigade and Palace Cinema (only modular buildings built so far). Part of this low opinion might be my low desire to build it. I've kept putting it off and unloaded all of my MISB sets last month. The revolving entrance and escalators were my favorite parts to build. Everything else was pretty basic, As I built each floor, the set grew on me though.
