  1. Sounds like a serious case of "I thought I was going to get rich from selling LEGO but it's too much of a hassle".

  2. The tone of the ad and the free weights in the picture lead me to believe it's hcxkid; however, there aren't enough grammatical errors for it to be his.

  6. Pretty easy sequence to predict here people. Both for Cindy and Death Star. 1. Image leaks. 2. "Meh, not impressed, where has Lego's creativity gone?" 3. "Guaranteed investment winner" - Ed Mack 4. "Well, the previous version [is/isn't] selling well in [Europe/US], so don't think your market can predict the [US/Europe] market on this set!" 5. OrcKing posts high-res official thread pics minutes after they are available. 6. "You know, looking at this again, I like those two greebles, and look, two new unique parts in [seafoam blue/dark-light-gray-bley]" 7. Goes on sale on Lego.com with a Nexo Knights promo cycle or chopper. 8. "In for 3" - Exciter. 9. "This is my first Lego investment, was it good that I bought 20 of these already??" - user with reg date of x-1 week from posting date. ... .. ... 10. Profit! :-)

  8. UPS stinks for their signature service since they keep trying to deliver (and usually at the same time because they were successful the day before)... But you can register at their website and get them to reroute to a particular time of the day (not sure about address). You should just do the research for her and send her a link and instructions. That way at least you have done your best to please her whiny ass.

  17. Pure Gold right there. Had to laugh really hard. My girlfriend told me: "You don't have to become Lil timmy. You are Lil timmy." I think thats the secret of all the pros on here. They got 8 yo. After that they only grew taller (Though I'm far from being a pro - just hoping that's the secret - being the Lil timmy myself )

  18. I don't think being unhappy about a signature required "ambush" is whiny... unless you are referring to the tone of the reply - which is certainly subject to opinion. I've been on both sides of the issue. It is extremely inconvenient when I am working a long stretch of 12-hour days with no one to receive a package for me, to have it show up "signature required" and then have to chase it down a week or two later. And the first "expensive" sale I made on eBay, I decided to add the signature option at the last minute without thinking it through, and had the package return roughly a week after the buyer kept telling me it had not arrived when it should have (with poor tracking updates, I might add) - undeliverable due to the signature requirement. Was that in any way the buyer's fault? Nope. I learned from my mistake, ate the double shipping charge, and confirmed whether they'd be able to sign for it before sending it out again. Same thing here. Perhaps you did nothing wrong, but the buyer did LESS wrong. Communication is the key to all things successful in business!

  20. My non-LEGO business has donated items to a raffle this year, and my accountant told me it was just an expense on my budget - no special "donation" tax free status or anything. Now, this is for a sole proprietor LLC - I'm not sure if this holds for an individual as well. I do my LLC taxes as part of my "normal" taxes (i.e. my LLC is a disregarded entity) so it's likely to hold for an individual too. To make it a donation it would need to be given to an entity with a non-profit status. Best way is to check with a professional though - IANAL.

  22. New Shop Your Way VIP Choice Benefits have been loaded to their website and can be used at Kmart.com or Sears.com. I selected the 100% back in points on a single item purchase up to $50. You may have to be a silver level VIP to access this benefit, but I'm not sure. The points should show up in your cart when you're checking out, but it doesn't seem to work on certain sets (I tried T-Rex Tracker and the X-Wing unsuccessfully). This offer may not work in conjunction with any other coupons or points redemption. http://www.shopyourway.com/tag/shop-your-way-rewards-vip/1461510

  24. 75059 is among Lego's most satisfying complex builds out there. Then throw in 1) the Sandcrawler is sorta iconic and 2) Jawas have a cult following. 10144 also performed like a champ until 75059 pics leaked.

  30. If you don't have any I would suggest getting at least a few, as You will never see a large $300 Sandcrawler again, so if you have the money get them, I have plenty of them, got them all at the Lego stores and all beautiful Boxes. Ed

  31. As someone that has built, or been a part of building just about every worthwhile star wars set from the last 5 years, this one ranks first in my book as one of the most satisfying builds. I know i'm not the only one that shares that opinion. Is it as sexy as the Slave 1? No. Is it a cooler build with a lot more interesting features.. Heck yes. To me, this is everything a large scale UCS set should strive to be. On the same token, i'm not going crazy on these as an investment and will just add a couple to my stock, but I expect it should do very well if you hold it past 2 years.
