Time for back in my day...

"If I'm elected president the Lego deals will be HUUUGGGEEE."

Lucked into another Grand Hotel at KMart this morning on the way home from a meeting. They were rearranging and this one must have shook out. $65 after 40% off and $10 off coupon.

Darn it. I hate to think that I'm personally responsible for such an appalling theme. At least it sounds like an honest misunderstanding. I said, "make more big, complex classic castle and pirate sets with lots of small pieces" and Lego heard, "release a line of Lego/Duplo hybrid Jetsons-themed monstrosities with giant clunky pieces in day-glow colors." I really need to learn to communicate more clearly.

Oh..Right.. Sets that you bought last week? got it.

You Europeans are all doom and gloom these days. This set has been available for several years and already got whatever extras sales the GBHQ and new movie were going to push. What purpose do they have to keep it? As stated on several different threads, there are too many new Ideas sets out or coming out to keep them all around. And it still took more than a few days to sell out after getting the "Retiring Soon" tag (which generated articles on every single Lego/AFOL site and blog). That isn't exactly some kind of insatiable reseller appetite that DEMANDS a complete change in production schedule for a set that probably isn't that profitable since there are IP royalties and designer royalties to pay. I'll eat my words if I'm wrong, but there are plenty of other profitable sets to make, so it isn't as though Lego factories are sitting on their hands waiting for something to do. They will be too busy making Nexo sets for @GhostDad...

If you're getting charged for return shipping on a damaged box from Amazon you're doing it wrong. Contact customer service.

On the plus side, no helicopters - yet.

I like them all.

Reading your recent posts, I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one whose favorite Winnie the Pooh character is Eeyore.

Totally different times . Folks used this site to gain an advantage now u need it just to stay in the game pretty much .

I really like the ? Truck. In for 10.. or 30 if Kmart is still in business next year.

No... I think he is more a cuusoo man.

Our latest LEGO tutorial!

Reseller road to ruin ride, maybe?

I have had some set prices reached this week too.

For undercutters

Well, things have certainly picked up this week.

Saturday and Sunday mornings were don't sleep in or lose out.

C'mon Lego give us some Election Day deals...

I poured over everything, and somehow I missed those! I saw all the other colors, and were bummed there was no green. FINALLY! The set I built on my desk has a black roof. Happy to ditch that for the green roof (finally!)

I have said it before and shall say it again. City shines best with its civilian designs. The part has been around since 1993 but seldom used being barely included with 18 sets. (Technically older as it is the classic Fabuland umbrella but with the proper LEGO logo on the top stud.) Now if you meant the color that is somewhat true with the current year the first in Lime with the 60110 Fire Station. Ah, I see Phil B has ninja me. Touché.

The GT3 is now available at Toys R Us online, with a BOGO50% sale starting tomorrow. SOH also in stock online.

Your an ideas man.

I have one Doctor Who and I bought it last year at a good discount so don´t look at me. My turdometer has overloaded when analysing all the retiring soon sets. There had better be some hidden gems to compensate.

At least you guys are being fair (cleaning up both sides) - I was starting to think that this thread was "rigged".

The main issue now with freebies is the lift of the discount ban on exclusives. Those freebies were nice to offset the cost of them big boys sets but now I'm not so sure . hopefully some nice discounts on ur regular sets to go along with the offer .

Name one black Friday deal from any country outside USA and Canada that was better than Tesco 3 for 2. Sorry, but the last years have been a complete non event unless you want to corner the market on classic Lego boxes. The best deals for Europeans are in October.

the online ones... nothing else is worth going in person... but seriously I only went to LEGO stores last year ($66 AT-ATs plus promos). There was nothing else that I saw for in store deals that were not available online, or later in the season.

First timer here and a newbie collector. Im just wondering which stores should I go to on Black Friday. Which stores usually give the best deals

Sorry, couldn't hear your accent on the app.

Gone with these, personally. Argos codes inc if anyone wants to peruse their local store

Seems like the old method of only VIP points for damaged boxes doesn't apply anymore, my local lego store was doing 15% off, pretty good deal for only some cosmetic damage.

Is this the pet shop thread? Did I make a wrong turn?

Obviously you don't know what you talking about.

Free shipping supplies. Nice!

You got a shipping box!!? I haven't managed to get one in 3 straight orders from my Amazon PRIME account.. they just keep on slapping shipping labels and red sharpie all over the box and send it on its way.

With this strategy, some members have to seriously consider another career direction.

bricklinked mine recently in Sand Blue instead of Sand Green, 293 euros for pieces and 65 euros for shipping I have bricklinked it with Cafe Corner and 3 Battle of Endor AT-ST units since I believe that doing it all at once provides overall savings

What Lego set did you sell today and for how much? this is the last comment in the thread Yesterday I sold my son's old Legos collection to a guy on Craigslist for $800! My son just went off to college, so these old toys were just sitting around collecting dust. I initially just listed the Star Wars space base thing. The guy called me asking about it and asked if I had anymore and how much. I threw a crazy high number ($1200) so see if he would bite. He offered $1000 and I couldn't agree fast enough. We actually settled on $800 because he had some lame excuse about an atm limit or something. I didn't care because he gave me $800 for a bunch of old dusty plastic bricks! What a schmuck! Included in the sale was a hotel, a Star Wars space ship, the Star Wars base, an old car, and a few other odds and ends. $800!!!! What a schmuck ahahaha pretty sure it is the lot
