Just picked up this cl lot for a hundo. 8 first gen friends sets, sponge party, crafting box new in open box, couple city trucks, and a couple tubs. The sets are all bagged individually. The little girl assured me they were complete, sure enough I built spongebob and it was all there including extra pieces.

Sold the Grand Emporium I bought yesterday ($100) for $250 shipped on Ebay.

Another successful trip outside my normal range. $64 Hotel x2 $30 Pop Star Bus x2 $25 Elves Purple Dragon $15 Pegasus Sleigh $9 School of Dragons $18 Crystal Mine $7 Ariel $2.50 Party Train $2.50 Emily Jones $7 Duplo Rocket x2

After tremendous success of "daily deals-Antarctica", I feel like shopping for LEGO from Asia this evening, any good deals?

ordered this: but received this: either way, price $10. Kmart.

Finished! It's missing about 30 pieces that will be easy and cheap to buy from BL. I purchased it couple weeks ago for $240 on CL thanks to a tip from @terrymc4677 Will sell on eBay for $600-700.

I asked my four girls how they would rank the Elves, Friends and Moana sets. They collectively replied: Elves first. Friends second and they have Moana sets? (they have all seen the movie) They are a pretty good microchasm of the under ten girls market. My son, when he heard me poling them chimed in, " dad, those sets are not any good". Just one families opinion LOL Paul

Couldn't resist:

Wow....guess I know when I fell asleep last night. So, second try.... Am I the only one wondering how to become a LEGO authenticator? I'd be happy to accept the fee to inspect the goods.

All I know is that my daughter loved the movie and the music so we will be getting the sets at some point. Hard to count out any of the Disney "princess" sets with the way they have been performing after EOL lately.

The new business model seems to be similar to the TRU model. Overprice sets, offer generous discounts. Profit.

I have felt a great disturbance in the force As if hundreds of loose QuiGon, ObiWan, Darth Maul 3 packs were suddenly listed on ebay in 9 count quantities.

I am not sure what is worse; the mini batwing or this knighton rider I am waiting for February, I have a lot more faith in the batman minifigures...

Man... if I was ten again, I would love to race both down my stairs on Hot Wheels track (bonus points if they break at the bottom). But I'm not.

Fortrex for $100 with $55 buy in price, :))

Opened box, sealed insides Grand Emporium for $100 on CL

The losers are likely the 6 extra bags that filled up the full box of 60 bags to make it 3 complete sets + 6 spare bags. Those 6 extras are (in Europe at least): Pizza Planet Alien Mr. Incredible Stitch Mickey Mouse Genie Syndrome Winners are, as far as I know: Buzz Lightyear Maleficent Alice & Cheshire Cat Peter Pan & Captain Hook Ariel & Ursula Donald Duck & Daisy Duck

Angry turds.

Went to the local Lego store today with the family. Someone returned a sealed Lincoln Memorial earlier that day so I bought that for $23 along with some Batman minifig polys (2 Red Hoods I think). Picked up 2 replacement promo Batman movie polybags (wife 'accidentally' threw out the original ones from Jan 2. - made her ask for them).

Not LEGO related, but my kids needed new sleeping bags for a sleepover. Bought some boy/girl colored ones at *Bleep*'s Sporting Goods but even after washing them 5x they still reek, so had to find proper cotton lined ones. Stumbled upon the Coleman Green Valley sleeping bag on sale at KMart/Sears for $34 and change. Played around a little bit between the three sites (Sears.com, KMart.com and SYW.com) but got the following to work both on SYW and Sears: 2x $34 for the sleeping bags (similar price as it sells for on Amazon.com) $10 off $50 coupon (9700073570204686 or 9700073575450545 or whatever code the "Go Elfin' Wild $10 off $50 Kmart" coupon gives you at http://shc.cpn2c.co/RecomService/web/bE3R ) $8 in surprise points that somehow appeared on my account for use at Sears only, didn't seem to have a minimum spend, and applied together with the coupon Total out the door: $50 (that's $25 per bag, 45% off MSRP) But here comes the kicker: I see more free LEGO in my future ....

Lol "Kennobbi" I feel like this set is "action features with stuff built around them" instead of a nice scene with action features built in. Not a very good set.

Jangbricks review of The Phantom (II):

Jangbricks review of 75169 - Duel on Naboo. At least Jang had fun reviewing this set!

I think eBay just found a way to take make even more money.

They're not moving at $79 around here either. It doesn't help that the online price everywhere is $79 too.

Nice shot.

Palace Cinema on Amazon Warehouse for $130 - could be good for building. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00BFXP3G2/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all&m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ

about 100 Dimensions packs for $1 ea

Spaceport and Utility Shuttle were winners in my house. Even when the shuttle was in the hanger for repairs, there has been a lot of activity:

Please include set names! There are some people nearing their 40's here. They might not be able to remember all the set numbers.

I am stealing Jaisonline's idea from last year! For each LIKE $***THIS***$ post gets I will donate 1 dollar! 1 like=1 dollar towards the schools raffle!

He's working a psy op; talking down Lego investing in the bubble thread (to scare off competitors) while he stockpiles every retiring Architecture set (so he says in the Arch threads). Actually, I'm not sure how the second activity furthers the goals of the first, but I bet there's a secret plan in there somewhere.

Hi Folks. I'll do the same as last year (copying Mos' original idea) to support the children of NJ's St. Paul School. For each "LIKE" THIS SPECIFIC post gets, I'll put $1 toward the raffle. Thanks, JA Is Online

I haven't been on the forums since before the holidays so I almost missed this! I just bought my batch of tickets today! Good luck fundraising and good luck to everyone in the raffle!

Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1!

Galeria Kaufhof updated their Lego articles. It now features: Brick Bank, Big Ben, the Batman Movie line, Star Wars Sets like the new Death Star or Y-Wing and Architecture Sets (and of course other stuff).

I managed to pick one up for $50.00 at WM. I think Ill do fine at that price.

Nope. The helmet is exclusive to the Imperial Assault Carrier. http://brickset.com/sets/containing-part-6115457 That's pretty much the only good thing about that set.

When demand warrants the thread, we will reopen. Til then, locked!

Yep Edit: sorry E1, had to [emoji57]

Raise.com has an extra 5% off babysrus and Kmart gift cards. 9.7 and 11% off. Use code Highfive.

Normally, I'd concur with you but space issues sometimes dictate the terms.

Past several weeks since the Holidays - three sets that have nothing in common! I built the AT-ST after seeing Rogue One right before Christmas. As someone who is new to LEGO Star Wars collecting, this was a must have as soon as I saw it was being released. Great set! Brings back lots of happy memories of playing with my Kenner AT-ST from the 90s. The only thing I'm more excited for is the soon to be released Y-Wing! I received the Temple of Airjitsu for Christmas (a technicality, I bought it myself for my folks to give me) - a fantastic looking set that displays really nicely. I don't have much use for the mini figures, but I suppose the citizens of Ninjago will one day make it into my LEGO city, and I have some ideas for MOC'ing the Temple and the Ninjas with my Dragon Knights from the 90s. I'm frankly surprised that this set was released - a theme that doesn't really appeal to AFOLs but not a ton of playability for kids - as a kid I needed something to attack and defend, and this...well...its a Temple, not a Castle. Still, no complaints, its awesome! Finally, I just finished the simple but very nice Lakeside Lodge. It will look nice beside the Mountain Hut. I like the simple creativity of some of these Creator sets. My wife and I are hoping to own some mountain property one day; in the meantime, we'll live vicariously through LEGO! As always, thanks to this community for helping me get these sets for good prices. I bought ToA over the summer when B&N had its 30% sale that unintentionally allowed you to buy books AND LEGO with the discount, and the other two sets were absurdly cheap thanks to Kmart / SYW nonsense. Up next, the U-Wing - bought through JET.com during their sale in November, another great BP tip!

I wasn't sure where to share my story, but now I see I'm in the right place. I ordered two chairs from Kmart, got like 80+% points back, yesterday morning and one arrived today. Seemed strange, ups guy was already in his truck driving away by the time I got the door. Like he rung and ran. Looked down and there's a split open box from Kmart. Didn't know what it was at first because I was expecting a Lego set, not a chair I ordered 25 hours ago. Eventually I discovered it was an unassembled chair, but the driver was long gone and I was left wondering where the other was. I carry on with my day, until I receive an email from Kmart saying my order was delivered. Not, "part" of my order was delivered.So I did some fishing and I found one tracking # for my order, and when I enter it through ups it says "receiver refused package, duplicate order, return to shipper" Say what?! I didn't refuse anything. Some more fishing and I see clearly that I ordered and paid for 2 chairs, and received email from Kmart saying 2 were delivered: 60lb, but the ups packing slip on the outside says 1 of 1: 30lbs. So I call ups, "why are you returning my package to the sender?" Ups:"the sender noticed it was a duplicate order and recalled it. " Me:"that makes no sense. They sent me an email saying it was delivered. There's no mention of a recall. It's not a duplicate, I ordered two. " Ups: "they recalled it." Me:"then why does your website say receiver refused it? I never refused anything." I also told them the box was open and I feared pieces may be missing, etc. so she put me on hold. Ups: "the sender marked two boxes with the same tracking number, which is against our rules so the driver is returning the package to Kmart to be processed properly." Me:"ok, that makes sense, so why does it say I refused the package?" Ups: "that's the option the driver chose." Me: "but that's not what happened, I didn't refuse the package. What if Kmart checks the tracking and sees that it says I refused the package. Then they won't send it back to me. I want that chair." Ups: "tell them to call us and we'll explain the situation." Me:"why don't you just change the status to say that you are returning the package because the sender improperly tracked it?" Ups:"I can't do that sir, I can't change what the driver inputted. " Me:"well that makes no sense. Why did the driver put that in the first place, it's completely untrue?" Ups: ...I don't know... Me:" well then can you leave a note that says that I called you to find out what is going on, and make sure that it is explained correctly?" Ups: no Me: "so you want me to call Kmart to tell them to call you to find out why my package is being returned to them?" Ups: yes Me"but when I first called you, you told me the sender recalled the package because it was a duplicate, which is untrue. Then you found out that the driver said I refused the package, which is untrue. And you expect me to trust who ever answers the phone when they call to tell them the truth?" Ups: yes Me:"this is ridiculous!" Click! I seldom hang up on people. I find it very rude. I hung up on her. Called Kmart. Explained to some guy who clearly could not understand my excellent English. The situation was too complicated for him. So he put me on hold for over 5 minutes and then transferred me to Sears. The guy there kept telling me how terrible it must've been for me, First guy said the same thing, and said he'd make a case is for me and email it Priority to processing so that they'll be ready when the package is returned to them. So I guess what happened is the ups driver realized Kmart was trying to save on S&H by taping together two manufacturer boxes, rather than package them in one big shipping box. So he politely ripped them apart and ran off with one. But maybe he trashed it so badly that he tried to cover his tracks with the receiver refusal. I don't know what he was thinking. Maybe he wanted a chair for himself. It all reeks though.
