The Brick Separator is among the top sellers? This thing needs to retire soon as I'm sitting on quite a lot of them.

I think the key is to stand at the entrance of the park and part it out on the spot. "You can now own a piece of the castle!"

San Diego Comic Con. Not to be confused with the much less popular South Dakota Comic Con.

Just thought I'd report that all 3 of the TRU Gift Cards I received from the 3rd Party fulfilling the Staples orders had $0 balances, or are invalid cards.

Sold my last eighteen 10188 Death Stars FBA for $610-$628. Averaged $506 after all fees and costs. Buy in $252 per set. Was hoping for a better price prior to the 75159 reveal but a few sellers using repricers came with enough supply to last the entire year. The reveal is rumored to be SDCC and the price $499.99 USD. If that pans out these bigger sellers using repricers will cause a rapid tumble in prices once other people start dumping stock and we will likely see a $100 price drop quickly (hint don't price match them as their algorithm is set for a price drop on a 3 way or greater match so just undercut them by a few dollars if you want to move your stock). If the new set disappoints I will likely rebuy 10188 on bricklink/brickowl/brick classfieds/craigslist for a long term hold. It is a fantastic set.

Good god. What on earth is happening? It seems like every day there's another tragedy. I was reading comments on another site and someone said, well, nobody likes the police. I LIKE THE POLICE! I guess if you're breaking laws, they would be an inconvenience. For the record, it is never ok to shoot police. [emoji35]

I posted this in the knock-off thread but thought I'd add it here for posterity...

You guys remember him? Damn I'm old....

Finished an incompleted Sopwith I found in CL. Bought it for $30 but it was missing a few unique pieces so after everything said and done, it's closer to $45. Really like the design. It's bigger than I thought and looks good even without a smooth plane wing. However, I understand the limited appeal and that's why it's dropping in value. Great for personal build.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Of course, having an AT-AT out at the same time as a Minor Disagreement on Hoth makes sense too. Maybe they learned a lesson?

Yeh I got a couple of mansions and a few mystery machines. One more machine than I ever ordered after LEGO stuck an extra one in the box for some reason. Cheers LEGO!

Doubled down on the 6285 Black Seas Barracuda Keep an eye on the trading thread for a chance to have one of these majestic ships!

I'm not sure I see the logic that QFin this set will bring a lot of profit. You're going to have to spend at minimum 350.00 to get this set. Lets' say there is a shortage, even if it goes up to 500, that's little money after fees to call much of a victory. Especially when you consider shipping a set like this. So, I think some of you are way too optimistic.

Built this last week with the 6 year old. Pretty happy with how it turned out...enjoyable build, several play features and a ton of mini figs...I really like the end result.

Wasn't R2-D2 retired before new star wars film aswell? I personally wouldn't believe any rumours until lego officially say something, Chinese whispers... Also once you take out Micke/Minnie/Donald/Daisy the only minifigure that would "fit in" the Disney castle is Maleficent. Makes more sense for a series 2 disney minifigures with the Princess than keeping series 1 extended. Just my opinion

In all fairness we could just rename the forum topic. How about "Really cool sh** built with bricks photos"

I know and you know that's not what I meant .... I meant an AFOL creation is a true MOC for me, a TLG creation not really.

The MB Arocs is now $189.99 on Costco.ca which I believe is another $10 off from before.

I'd say anyone gambling on QFLL is expecting it to rise higher than $500 is the thing.

No, don't think it would be worth the energy spent when you compare a dollar to dollar ratio against other hot toys. It's easier to make 30.00 on other sets or other products that wouldn't take up the space, or cost as much money. I'm sure there will be some toy out there that cost 60 or 70.00 that will be scarce and in demand and will net you 30 after fees. You could buy 4 to 5 of those, flip them and make 150 for ever 350 spent. That's better than 30 on every 350 spent. Just my opinion.

"Okay, we're going to take a little bit of this and....let's make a couple of happy trees right here...."

Probably the best way to QF this at Xmas is through CL, NextDoor, and SwipSwap when the inevitable shortage happens. Start about Thanxgv and increase price each week after.

Season 3 Trailer. Be warned...there are spoilers.

Excellent point. It's like a mullet, Business up front, party in the rear.

My son wants to MOC this into Hyrule Castle.

They are going to be at comic con but will be available to all in 2017. A new branch from the Lego tree? Funko pop anyone? Lol

When I met her a couple years ago it was during a Force for the Course run that ended in Oceanside. There was a live Nerdist broadcast in the parking lot which was how we knew what car she was in (she kept walking back and forth from her car to the broadcast). With Eck being only 5'7", she makes him look tall. I'm a huge baseball fan, so I'm not sure who is geek out after more.

lego store in utah said they will be getting some in soon, but not this tuesday

shark tooth hunting on the Chesapeake Bay!

thanks. staples must be turning in profit with all the B'Pers ordering supplies from them whatever you do "don't order kraft padded envelop from staples. color and quality looks so cheap" better to order from ebay sellers

Let's stop the political conversation here folks. Thank you.

I got both. Tumbler upside is fantastic. 75159 may pose big problems for 10188.

This is the last post from a user on the AFOL group FB page: -More Series 16 sightings, a LEGO Store in Austin TX and a TRU in Appleton WI "A lot of Texas stores have them, the reason being they want the Disney series to make a return near the release of the 71040 Castle so they want these out earlier."

reports all over social media of both TRU and Lego stores putting them out Rumor due to short supply of Disney CMF and perhaps holding them back for the Castle in september they pushed up the release. TRU has them register locked for 7-18 without manager over-ride

Not here, sorry (picked mine up somewhere around 7/11). Sounds like you should contact Customer Service.

Apparently available in Appleton, WI TRU - that's Terry's neck of the woods.

"There are no mistakes, just happy little accidents". "And now we use some titanium white". (Before he uses it everything is just like... meh... doesn't look like much and afterwards BAM!)

where?! Target. 2 figs per pack, six dollar packs.

hoping it will pick up haha! i have two of everything.

So the expected ship date is tomorrow and that's considered part of the dance. Are we really that desperate for signs?

Great article giving these sets the light of day! Since traveling to the US for these conventions is out of the question, purely because it will cost me around 25 T1's, 10 Tumblers or Half a UCS MF... Considering the above, prices around € 200 /250 is per holy grail seem fair
