Hesitated to crack open this new sealed set, but had the itch to build something to add to the street. Large set, but build was very basic.

City Pizza Van with my 5 year old. He's claimed it for his room but it will eventually go with our fairgrounds.

3 more of my $7.90 "Rey's Speeders" arrived from Kmart today They were close enough, I mean it HAS Rey in it right?

'Seeing Green Again' is currently a sweeps DB. Got $1 here.

This MOC is designed by BaronSat and is basically a proper Rancor pit / base for the Jabba's Palace.

Hello stamp collection. $30 total in postage

I'm sure they could have taken out a Star Destroyer or two. They did get a good ion bomb run in one of them. But the cost would have been even greater than what they already lost. This was Rebels' Empire Strikes Back Moment. They were on the defensive of a surprise attack and the best they could hope for was a fighting retreat, like at Hoth. Live to fight another day. I liked that Thrawn was "beaten" by a completely unforeseeable intervention by Bendu. I can picture his report to Tarkin now. Attack executed flawlessly, many rebels killed and military hardware destroyed. Slight losses due to inclement weather. PS, will require copies of all storm related artwork of the last 2000 years."

The Rebels won't ever have a big win in this show. Rogue One's Battle of Scarif was there first victory if ANH's opening crawl never changes or begins to depend "on a matter of view". It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire's ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Princess Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy...."

So I asked rtalley50 if he could expedite any orders for a non-existent birthday party next week. Here was the reply: hello friendthank you for your appreciation ,i am sorry that the shipping time is out of our controlwe can't give you any words,Happy your timeregards Seems legit. Happy your time everyone!

So tonight I made the plunge and dived into an investment purchase. Most of the sets appear to be complete with mini figs. Last purchase I made from this seller has been 100% complete sets once I took them apart and pieced back together so I am hoping to have the same luck with this set. Tell me your opinions on if I jumped into this too quick... I have a lot disassembling and reassembling to confirm all pieces are here but I am up for the challenge. Stars Wars- 8095- General Grievas Starfighter 7929- Battle of Naboo 7957-Sith Nightspeeder 6957- Ewok Attack 8089- Hoth Wampa Cave 7959- Geonosian Fighter 8128- Cades Bane Speeder 7915- Imperial V Wing Fighter 7931- T6 Jedi Shuttle 8093- Plo Koons Jedi Fighter 7930- Bounty Hunter Assault 7961- Darth Maul Sith Infiltrator 8096-Emperor Palpatines Shuttle 10215- Obi Wan Jedi Fighter 8088- Arc-170 Star Fighter Trains 10219- Maersk 3677- Red Cargo Train City Sets 7937- Train Station 7208- Fire Station (2010 version) 7213- Offroad Fire and Truck 4440- Forest Police Station 4433- Dirt bike Transporter 3648- Police Chase 4430- Fire Transporter Pirates of the Caribbean 4183- The Mill 4184- The Black Pearl 4192- Fountain of Youth 4181- Isla de la Muerta 4195- Queen Anne's Revenge 4194- Whitecap Bay 4193- The London Escape There are some large technic sets mixed in as well as some other miscellaneous sets which I have to sort through still. I am in to this lot for $675 dollars. Think I will make my money back if all the sets are complete/ near complete?

If you hold out for 50% off, you'll be paying $8 more each.

Yeah good point. It's a shame though that those nebulon's were wasted like that. If I'm not mistaken that's like the rebellions second largest vessel right behind the mon calamari cruisers. It was entertaining to see thrawn be caught off guard since he always maps out every situation. I guess the more I think about it the bendu thing wasn't over the top and it was kinda entertaining to see him "check mate" thrawn.

Don't Imps wear body cameras? On an unrelated note, all my son cared about was the Death Troopers when he saw them in the preview. It was hard talking him down all week that no, we wouldn't be seeing Krennic or any of the new Rogue One cast in the finale, though that does seem possible for next season.

Whoo hoo! Bring on the 3rd Party mispricing...

If you are going to do wholesale my advice is to contact a company who has a great product but is not on Amazon yet. Ask them to sign an agreement stating you will be the only authorized distributor allowed to sell on Amazon's platform. That way if any non-authorized sellers pop up on Amazon then you can open a case and have them kicked off. In our experience there is alot less risk and alot more money to be made doing RA and OA for products that are gated that you are ungated in with not many sellers and that Amazon does not have access to. If your game is strong you can get those products for well below wholesale price without having to commit to minimum quantities. Any new sellers that come along will be on the the other side of the gate and the few sellers on the listing are very likely to sit back and price match so everyone enjoys great sales without tanking margin. If you see a wholesale product that everyone has access to including new sellers and Amazon then move on unless you are going to create a bundle with other items that are a little harder to source.

AHEM! http://makingstarwars.net/2017/03/star-wars-the-last-jedis-first-order-heavy-assault-walker-is-one-mad-gorilla/

I tried but there's this hiring freeze keeping me out....

This is still available? Go away already!

Had built this a few weeks ago and finally applied the stickers. Designed by Bruno Jenson, instructions by Thorsten and professional stickers by Jaap Technic. More info can be found on rebrickable and Eurobricks.

My son and I built one of his birthday presents, 76059 Doc Ock's Tentacle Trap. It will go great with the Battle Bridge.

The set has been built for a while but we had an acrylic case (no bottom) made for it and the Tower Bridge. I know the plastic is still on... leaving it until it finds a home in our LEGO room. If anyone is curious, it's 1/8" acrylic made locally to my exact measurements. Big Ben's was just $50 and TB was $70 and they made them in three days after I paid. (Canadian funds so around $2 US )

I for one will withhold my judgement until I see the calendar and all 24 builds. I thought last year's calendar was a bit poor before my son started opening it (come on, a white Chewbacca?). But the mini-builds really were quite cool and I think it was a great calendar. The picture above shows 10 out of the 24 minibuilds, so still 14 that could be totally awesome. Just because a few minifigs are not very impressive does not necessarily make it a bad calendar.

On a semi related note I think it's important to understand the types of goods you are aiming to supply. Type 1 : Exclusive brand access, unlimited stock - insanely valuable (rare) Type 2 : Only source of a listing but not necessarily exclusive - insanely valuable (short term) Type 3 : Distributor stock - hot items, clearance items, replenishables - offers consistent okay returns, time consuming, competitive Type 4 : Rare hard to find items - great profit to time ratio, limited stock, high risk, exclusive access? Type 5 : Flippers - low barrier to entry, highly volatile, short term gain, time consuming to track trends. I personally view items I sell in these buckets. I currently use type 2/3/4 and very rarely 5. I spend most of my time working towards finding type 1/2 connections. I have a couple of type 2 sources setup and I can't stress how much easier life is. You place a huge order, label it, pack it, send it and forget. No deal hunting, no price wars, no store hunting. I'm not going to quit my day job anytime soon but with enough of those connections, or the right one, you have yourself a long term repeatable lucrative future.

How many sellers here actually buy from wholesalers and distributors? In my experience, it's no good. What happens is I buy 10 cases of trinket Z from the distributor at $20 per unit. A week later, a retailer puts trinket Z on clearance for $10 each. So all the "non-authorized" sellers are now selling trinket Z $10 below my break-even point, and I'm stuck with 10 cases for eternity. Am I doing it wrong? I must be doing it wrong.

My Meijer gave me turtles and chameleons

$15 off $75 is store-wide, not toys only. There's also a $10 off $75, that one is toys only.

Starting new thread for Daily Deals Germany. Ignore for now while I continue to setup the Amazon Deals process.

My kids built these this morning.

Geoffrey & friends 40228 for $5.99 at TRU. I just got few with 15% off GC https://t.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=113042556&cp=2255956.2273442.2255962.3696486.31151746&s=A-StorePrice&s=A-StorePrice&parentPage=family

They did not take out a ship, only a generator that blocked hyperspace jumping. The ship was actually intact in the background as Ezra was clutching to his own ship. I did not realize how much bigger Maul's old ship compared to regular Mandalorian fighters. It was basically a transport big enough to have to hold 10-20 troops I thought the Bendu thing was fair. He wanted Kanan & the base off his planet the first time we saw him, now he just wanted everyone off his planet. I was afraid they would make him to be all powerful being that could wipe out everyone on the planet. Getting him shot down by a couple of AT-ATs made him look a bit vulnerable. I liked how the Mandalorian did not / could not send the cavalry to help, just enough ships and troops. A fleet of Mandalorians to save the day would have been too corny and unbelievable given their state in the previous episodes.

How new? I had no issues in Feb defeating limits, though I waited for shipping before ordering again

To celebrate my recent (early March) birthday I got the Detective's Office, which I finished last week. Put it next to last year's birthday present, the Parisian Restaurant, and took these photos

I swear if any more resellers contact me about my CL listings and then try to explain to me why I'm doing things wrong and why I should sell them stuff for nothing, I'm going to agree to the price and I'm going to instruct them to meet at a parking lot at some shopping center out in the boonies. Then about 15 minutes after the meeting time I'll email them and say I got held up and I'll be there in like 20 minutes and then block their email.

Went to TRU b&m looking for Porsche speed champions set. Didn't find any but TRU had the Ford Raptor / Hot Rod set for 50% off ($24.99) instead. Don't know if this is unique to my store or a national sale.

I don't want to be a **** here, but please don't encourage this behavior. These people have zero intention of filling your order. We have 2 schools of thought on what they are doing: A.The popular belief on the Amazon Seller Forums is that these guys get enough orders that they clear some of the cash out and the rest is returned via A to Z (which is why they usually have every item priced at 9.00 or 13.00 or something dumb like that. They are able to do this because they are from other countries and have longer delivery times before people figure it out. They can set up fake "from" locations now, but the delivery times are still 1 month+ and B.The other thought is that they are doing something with your information as BA explained. The problem with both scenarios is it ties up your resources, encourages this behavior again, ties up Amazon's resources and, most importantly, makes it harder to sell on Amazon for us sellers. These guys just keep coming back again and again and again and it never ends. They are clearly getting something out of it or they wouldn't keep doing it. It also raises fees for everyone and is just a bad idea. Please don't help these guys. You are not going to get these products under any circumstances.

Yes, use BrickStock (brickstock.patrickbrans.com). Once installed, press Ctrl-I I (i, not L) then click on the magnifying glass icon, type in the set code including the "-1" suffix and press OK. Once loaded, do Ctrl-A to select all pieces, Ctrl-G to download prices (defaults to average 6 month). Then use column sorting to get what you need.

Keepa has a setting that will do what [How many?] does. No limit. Keepa is awesome!

Quick build given that this isn't a classic UCS set when compared to others. I can see why this is not universally loved given it's size and also given that it is a prequel ship. Nonetheless another one ticked off.

If you were referring to AP5 (Chopper's bff), it was shown standing in Chopper base as Rex was watching Mon Mothma 's holo cast. To me, the Rebels could potentially serve up to at least battle at Hoth. As far as Kanan and Ezra and the Jedi order, Jedi and Sith are not the only path wielders of the force can follow. Ahsoka was definitely NOT a Jedi when we last met her. I am just saying there is a reason why Kanan and Ezra met Bendu.
