I'm back from a nice little trip to Venice (Italy) and the Adriatic Sea. I browsed some shops and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this: (I don't know if it's visible, but the brown LEGO shipping box contained a 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon and there's a 10189 Taj Mahal, too.) And that selection was only the tip of the iceberg, they had almost every historic set. It was like a LEGO museum on the seafront of a small beach town. So I maxed out my credit cards and bought them all, right? Wrong! I guess they had all those sets because their prices were straight from Cloud cuckoo land. For example 10181 Eiffel Tower was € 4,990, 10187 VW Beetle was € 2,990 and 76042 Helicarrier was € 550. Insane! So I had to settle for these little souvenirs: (4) 75134 Galactic Empire Battle Packs @ 60 % discount (relatively scarce in Germany) (12) 41171 Emily Jones & the Baby Wind Dragon and (6) 41178 The Dragon Sanctuary @ 20 % discount (very scarce in Germany)

Here's my brick linked set. Seller sent me the wrong round tiles so the only thing that's wrong is the over head lights are yellow instead of clear. Waiting for the correct ones to arrive. Haven't opened my Skiff yet so that's why Han's got the old hair [emoji4] Cute little scene! I love the red flooring in the hallway. May need to expand that. The official one should have really included a Leia.

Managed to snag myself a bargain due to the remake. Also in mint conditions as well as box and instructions in impeccable condition. No yellowing of bricks as well. Will still be getting the remake but may not necessarily be a day 1 purchase now.

This transporter is a nice set. But it can be easily captured by rebels, as happened in my case.

7778 Mid-sized Millennium Falcon I plan on hanging that in my son's room.

So these are the Saturn V pics everyone has been waiting ALL day for?! Apollo 11 looks a little strange.....

Based on Yellow Submarine and Adventure Time, it will be exclusive to any shop that sells anything.

And let's just say two more sections and you will end up with this.

I'm quite pleased with my unexpected haul. Thought I'd rub it in a little. Quality over quantity. I would've, maybe should've, grabbed more polybags but I wasn't expecting to find two extinct birds. And a great deal on some on the endangered list. All the new stuff was only 10% off and the princess was a whopping 15% over priced, but worth it.

I had a similar experience the last time I was in Europe (I believe it was in Krakow). There was a really small LEGO store around Old Town with a bunch of really old BNIB exclusives at ridiculous prices. It was really nice to see them in shelves though, rather than on eBay lol. Bought Battle on Takodana today with TRU Rewards for my personal collection

I guess the Taj Mahal remake is coming in 2018!!

In 3 years they might re-release the poly with the redhead girl breakdancing or something

Which is why I'm looking forward to the Arrowhead.

Although I don't disagree with your post @jaisonline in terms of the masses, personally I'm drawn to these sets that are little different. I like the prequel trilogy, expanded universe, yoda chronicles, freemakers adventures, etc sets. I'll take that vs. the 6th rehash of a popular O/T vehicle in most instances.

8x Friends poly from Target for $.39 each. Time to sell them for $4 on eBay and double my money

I like it. And I want it for my collection.

I've seen my future, and it's in hands.

Toy company's move so fast these days

I have a better title for this thread: "Phil B Phil B Phil B Phil B Phil B"

http://www.barnesandnoble.com/mobile/w/toys-games-lego-minecraft-the-nether-fortress-21122/28740356?ean=0673419233644 May be OoS, but doesn't show on screen. You can PM it

Looks like those exclusives were US imports as the boxes all had part counts on them.

Hmm. You're right. New title works better.

From the article it just said "carousel" not re release, we really don't know what, if anything, is coming here. The argument that Lego can never refresh a set is tiresome, they've done like three Ferris Wheels, each better that its predecessor, at least 3 Maersk ships, don't even get me started on Star Wars or police or fire stations. It's been a decade, it's time for a new one.

Screen scraped is a little worse than rug burn.

Honestly, if you're still holding a 10196 expecting it to continue to rise you may have some issues.

Wow, you went from zero to Star Wars tech geek in less than 12 parsecs.....I Love It!

I ordered myself an original version from the USA. Looking forward to keeping it closed forever

Seems to be going backwards with the design my 2007 one did not require the see through technique parts which spoils the set.

Warcraft - Mana Pool by Paul Trach

here it is. packaging might be little overwhelming.

Write it off..

Okay, I've triple checked the parts list I just created with the instruction manual and the parts list in the instruction manual. I posted the list publicly on Rebrickable here: CELEB2017 - Detention Block Rescue You can go on there and export the list to a Bricklink XML. Open it in a Text Editor, copy and paste it into the Bricklink XML box, and you'll have a complete want list. NOTE: Bricklink doesn't like the Stormtrooper helmets or Luke's had that Rebrickable has in their inventory, that should go for this set. So if you need those, you'll have to manually add them yourself. This should hold us over until Bricklink approves the set, and a couple of us can verify the inventory.

Finally got to finish my Batpod 5004590. Managed to get all new parts, some were spares, others from Lego and bricklink, the dark pearl grey shield pieces from a small stack of breaze flee machines I found in TRU. Thankfully I sold the spare pieces in groups of 6 to help bring down the price of the build. Think it came in around 40ish quid.

Just received an email stating friends and family event starts tomorrow at tru. 15% off entire order. No coupon yet (says it will arrive tomorrow)

There isn't an easy way to do the flat rate. You could create a separate shipping method and constrain it by volume size, but then your buyer has to know to pick the right one when checking out. What we do is just price band everything by weight, and if we can use the flat rate when packing the order we refund any excess postage. Never had any complaints from buyers on BO about the shipping price structure. And yes, reduce your band weight thresholds by the packaging weight, so that you don't under charge on postage.

Not sure if this is a "special" deal or not. Was just looking at buying it myself and found video game Lego Worlds is $19.99 at Target ($29.99 just about everywhere else).

Limited experience but here's my advice: Used Sets - Ebay: Why, more people fighting over it, more views, and it gets sold Mini-figures: The Used set will sell higher with mini's included obviously. You can usually get a "tad" bit more return if you part them out but then you also have to move them still and price competitively on Bricklink. Speed = Ebay. Wait and see = Bricklink Open to discussion though as again my experience is limited.

Poe's X-Wing. It's been a long while since I built a non-UCS Star Wars ship and I got to say it is actually better than I expected. Resistance X-Wing is next!

Found an open case of CMF17 at WM today. Managed to find most of the ones I wanted for the personal collection, minus Rocket Boy and Corn Cob Guy. Toy Mgr was around, so I asked if he had another case, which he went to get. Came back saying he had to take it all back because of the street date, but allowed me to have my pick. Was difficult smooshing with him walking around but I don't think this WM has any more RB or CCG once 5/1 hits.... 12 CMF @3.97 each

Finally a real UCS set

I found a box of these sitting out at WM untouched. I found Corn guy, rocket girl and faeire girl, but then I remembered I don't really do anything with my CMF purchases, so I put them back.

"Wanted list" is your friend. https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=176 Scroll all the way down.

Recent FBA sales: 3x 41058 HeartLake Shopping Mall - $163 (Buy-in $57 after tax). Unfortunately got one returned with return reason "Shipping Address Undeliverable" - that's $14 down the drain in return fees, so I guess I'll have to raise my price on that one. 5x 70753 Ninjago Lava Falls - $24 (Buy-in $6 after tax) 2x 75893 Scooby Doo Haunted Lighthouse - $83 (to the same buyer, Buy-in $22 after tax) 2x 41038 Jungle Rescue Base - $79 (Buy-in $32 after tax) and the kicker, the set I mentioned in my blog article as "my mistake" as I bought it for 60% off at Target 1.5 years ago and it just wouldn't retire: 1x 31033 Vehicle Transport - $38 (Buy-in $11 after tax)

I fixed my file. I'll double check it then upload it again for those who don't want to type it all into a bricklink wanted list CELEB20017-1.bsx

Oh jeez here we go.
