  1. Why on Earth would that turn off people outside the USA ? This is a piece of history, when Humanity showed what it can do if it focuses on a single goal and put our vast resources into achieving it! President John F. Kennedy announced in 1961 that before the decade was finished mankind would put a man on the moon. It was a huge undertaking, but America did it, and the entire world was witnessing the Moon landing in awe and excitement. It was not just a huge achievement for the USA but for Mankind, as Neil Armstrong so eloquently said when he took his small step down the ladder onto the surface of the Moon! Too bad I was born in 1971 and so I wasn't yet around to witness it. But knowing that a human walked on the Moon still fills me as a fellow human with pride! And now I just hope to live until the first human sets foot on Mars... To answer the question directly: those words of the United States of America belong on this historic spacecraft and I wouldn't want it any other way!

  5. #fakenews e.g. the sticker in the pic is the same exact one as 10179. while lego will copy an older design w/o a second thought, they do pay particular attention to stickers. it's all about the stickers with Lego.

  6. I list very competitive prices on craigslist regularly, and in three years have never made a sale. Lot's of guys want to trade me their 10 year old cell phones, or lawn mowers that "just need a tune up", though. Others talk about using craigslist & local facebook for good money all the time. Depends on your local market. I would list your item simultaneously on ALL the platforms you can. See what works.

  7. New sellers and those with inactive accounts who become active again will now how to provide id verification (utility bills, state id etc), business license documentation for their state (including registering to collect sales tax) , and invoices for the items they have listed. This will curb the just launched scammers as well old accounts that are getting hacked by the thousands. Speaking of which if you haven't done so already I would advise anyone selling on the platform to setup two step verification for your account. Once done you will need your password as well as a pin number sent to your phone to log into your account. You can choose to disable this on machines that only you have access to (such as your home computer or cell phone). We have this in place on all of our amazon selling accounts and the number of pins coming thru that we did not request every week is a real eye opener to just how bad the attempted hacking of amazon selling accounts has become.

  15. If you're OK with risky "small ball" items: I've been wrestling with the idea of buying 4 x 853687 Ninjago Accessory Set (4 x $12.99 = $51.96) to get the Beetle. The Ninjago pack is 3 exclusive (?) Ninjago characters, currently about $25 on eBay (not sure there's a very big market for these, tho)... not yet listed on Amazon. In the end, decided to pass. I don't have to have every Lego promo that comes around.

We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." - John F. Kennedy (1962)

  26. Had some coupon and surprise point fun today. Wanted to use a $5 off $20 and $10 back on $20 coupon on each of my accounts, plus my Sweeps winnings. As I was checking options I noticed I had a $5 surprise points on $10 purchase offer on one of my accounts as well. Ultimately I managed to apply the following: 1x Friends Pool - $39.99 - $10 back on $20 + 15% off 1 toy + $8.37 in sweeps winnings = $25.62 (50% off of $49.99 MSRP), with $10 back in points 1x Friends Arcade - $11.84 - $5 surprise points + $3.44 in sweeps winnings = $3.40 (77% off of $14.99 MSRP) 1x SW Phantom - $28.96 - $5 off $20 + $10 back on $20 + 3.95 in points = $20.01 ("only" 33% off of $29.99 MSRP), with $10 back in points Still have a $5 off $20 left, which I hope to use when the $10 on one of my orders gets posted (hopefully they ship one of them tomorrow as the coupon expires on Friday), so I can get another $20 set for $5 Oh, and paid with a Sears GC which I bought at Meijer, for which I got a $5 reward posted to my account. So net, $49 plus tax out-of-pocket for $95 in sets, plus $20 in points, plus $5 in Meijer rewards. Figured I post it here instead of annoying everyone in the "What LEGO did you buy today?" thread.

  30. yeah, time usually dampens negative thoughts, bad feelings, etc... most folks will prob welcome HC with open arms in a ep 8 or 9 force ghost role. personally speaking, i liked him in jumper far more than eps 2 and 3.

  31. Until about a month ago it was easy to check this, as the checkout screen would show your earned points before you finalized your order. They made a change and now you "fly blind", so you need to remember this rule. You can also go back to your order and shipping confirmation emails, those mention the earned points as well and I would recommend you read those as soon as you place your order.

  35. Picked this up day 1 and finally got around to finishing it. Gotta say i was all for this set at first with the idea that i'd put it with the rest of my ship fleet. However i found that it looks way too small and puny next to even the Black Pearl. The lack of sails really takes away from it's display value in a fleet imo. For $250 CAD i feel like it should at least look a bit more imposing than QAR/BP. The scale issues sort of bothers me, like the small doors on the deck that can't fit minifigures, and of course the small canons. And then we have this big bell on the deck that is minifig scale.. just makes it all seem jumbled. Even though i don't play with my sets; the lack of a captains quarters was disappointing. However on it's own like i have displayed below... i think it's actually really nice. It's fun to play around with the sails/masts and really give it a "ghost" look. Build was pretty fun, both sides of the ship were fairly different and not symmetrical. Bottom line: i like it, but only displayed on it's own away from the other ships.

  36. I feel like that's kind of a corporate cultural mindset. Doing good isn't good enough, quarter after quarter has to show growth. Instead of focusing on the quality that brought people in, they try to diversify and catch fads. If one of these new-ish things hits, they'll be golden. However we're not seeing demand increase, we're seeing the same buyers being more spread out. Instead of buying everything from one line, now, they're making decisions about whether to get a brickhead or a mighty micro or a constraction figure etc. The offerings in the main lines feel smaller and less complex, but they expect people to buy them because of a single minifigure. Prices are rising (looking at you Star Wars Battle packs) THe Star Wars line is full of sets that would have been $5 less just a few years ago. Super Heroes as well. I don't think it's trying to get the last dollar before the market crashes, I think it's misunderstanding the fanbase and their capacity to continue buying when they're trying to squeeze every penny out. Someone thinks that the LEGO train has just gotten started and doesn't see the chasm ahead that they're driving towards.

  39. My son and I were checking out some of the 2017 set pictures. He was mad when he saw the Quadjumper set. I asked why. "Dad, one of those figures is exclusive to a Lego book I bought!" I asked why is that bad. "Because now if they have another one, the value will go down!" He's 8. Never been so proud.
