75149 - Resistance X-Wing is down to $41.99 on Amazon (RRP is $79.99) - 48% off https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CIGN3MK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Sadly I ordered 2 on Monday at $52... Time to get my family to order a couple others

Back when Ewok Village was retiring, I managed to pick an opened set for $180. Finally got around to building it today (+ the new AT-ST and extra minifigs). Second picture is its new place in our modest Lego Star Wars display (above the doorway and basically in front of my desk). Great set.

I just finished the Silent Mary and really loved building it. It was a very satisfying building without the premade hull. Most of the ships using the big hull pieces are so stubby and cookie cutter the same. This ship felt like a UCS Star Wars build with the internal technic frame and partial cladding and a lot less tedious than the Death Star II. This allowed the designers to make a slender tapering ship that seems to have much better sailing ship proportions. Obviously none of the sailing ships are to minifigure scale, but on this one nothing is minifigure accessible except the deck. I think that is ok since is allows the other features to be smaller and more to scale. I love all the gold. I have uploaded a comparison with the Imperial Flagship which is the biggest Lego sailing ship. You can see the Silent Mary is much shorter, especially since so much of its hull is out of the water by comparison, but it is only a few inches shorter. The real questions is whether it can eat the Imperial Flagship. As you can see, I think the Imperial Flagship is little to big a bite. Maybe just a bit off the flank.

There is still plenty of room in here. Keep buying!

Even @ $42.....................I RESIST

We have one of those in our entryway that my wife was just saying "I wonder what we can put up there" the other day... Thanks man. Problem solved.

IKEA must love you if you keep a spare supply of beds around just for that purpose ....

WWW DB Time! EDIT: $2.

Too many X-Wings! Makes me hungry!

Use CamelCamelCamel to look at pricing history.

Next DB for WWW .. $1 this time

Probably the 40% off sale + R2-D2 was enough incentive to drive sales until it sold out entirely. Speculation about retirement seems completely premature.

This set just broke $100 FBA.

Found batman movie sets 70901 and 70902 for $10 each at costco. (been$16 the since they popped up in march there) Also batmobile for $40 was $46 I left them on the pallet and will go back next week to see if they are 50% off. I went to the other two costcos near me and I couldnt find legos so YMMV P.S. Funny that people were giving me weird looks for buying in bulk at costco

I think a reveal for Thursday is quite likely. Release? Nah. Logistically, it would have been in production at least a few weeks ago. And then it would have to be distributed. No chance that it's made it this far along without some store employee spilling the beans. There's also the Snowspeeder. If this set is released on Thursday, sales on the Snowspeeder are completely cannibalized. People will by this instead of the Snowspeeder. I'd even venture a Force Friday release date but not before.

I think my parents just died a little inside. "Easy listening." Beatles are rock and roll man!

Lost $0.05 again. They're so kind to reimburse me.

Just wait until you're out and about and they tell you they need to poo RIGHT NOW which yeah, is RIGHT NOW... you'll be praying for a bathroom with the disposable hand towel paper instead of the warm air hand dryers because you inevitably forgot the backup supplies at home... if you remember them, you won't need them.

To continue the parenting theme to the complaint thread... I had one of my most boneheaded parent moments over the weekend. I dressed my currently potty training two year old Saturday morning to go out shopping. While we were at Michaels, my son grabbed his crotch and indicated he had to pee. So I checked his diaper to see if it was a future or past event. No diaper. I picked him up and rushed to the bathroom...as he started peeing his pants. So close! I then had to clean him up and stuff paper towels in his pants to dry things up until we could get to the car to clean up properly and change pants. Luckily they were pants with a liner and it wasn't very visible from the outside what he'd done. How did I put his pants on without realizing he didn't have a diaper on?

We don't either ?

Poof Damnit because I like it at that price. If only my daughter didn't have to be at school.

Carry on

@Pedilego lets just hope none of those nice sets fall down onto the foyer. If so, it will be like a Home Alone movie scene.

The temple of the ultimate ultimate weapon is $99 MSRP Havent seen the $300 set yet but this would be nice.

The Set is on the Lego Wholesale Retail order form as being available to order all of 2017.

For anyone in Meijer country, the larger SW sets are on sale with $20-$25 off per set. Sets included the U-wing, AT-TE, and the Resistance X-Wing.

These things spiked to above $60 on Amazon when they went OOS last Christmas season. Worth picking up a few on sub $30 deals even with retirement possibly far off.

I've discovered it's something about 5 year old boys. He's been potty trained for a couple of years, but I still have to buy diapers twice a year for nighttime. Other friends we have with 5 year old boys report the same - they just don't wake up at night. I think they play so hard during the day that they're too tired to wake up at night.

That 8x8 trans medium blue plate on top is rare and $$. Was in a couple Winter Village sets to be on the lookout for those if you're lucky.

My almost-5 year old is in the same boat. I keep hoping one night he'll magically wake up dry. The nighttime pull-up purchases are eating into my Lego funds!

I go for quantity, not quality

Sold out at EU Shop.

I use eBay to sell use sets, damaged box stuff, expensive sets that I do not want to FBA or FBM, as well as items that I am gated in. As others have said eBay is very good for selling one offs and other random stuff, Amazon FBA excels at selling 150 of the same identical item. About 90% or more of what I sell on Amazon is FBA, I usually only FBM time sensitive items, last years Oregon Trail game comes to mind. As far as total split I'm roughly 70% Amazon / 30% eBay.

Has anyone heard about a surprise reveal tomorrow and a release on Thursday? Someone on Brickset Forums said they heard it from an LBR employee. Which, yeah, I know, yeah right, but the reason I ask is because I heard a similar thing. I just don't think it can happen.. so don't get your hopes up and be disappointed when nothing happens tomorrow.

Easy Listening?!?!?

He sleeps with those...

"Too many" is different for everyone.

Where there is adult trying to relive their childhood through Lego we will be there. Where there is some one who missed out on a set we will be there. Where somebody wants an exclusice set from an event we will be there. Where there is someone wanting a set on pre release we will be there. The reseller mantra.

Madoca FJ40 Crawler with a few missing and substituted parts. Those technic # 3 connectors are hard to find. Claas Xerion tires totally kill all suspension travel but give the Jeep a monster truck look. Great build, highly recommended.

It's been discounted somewhere since Day 1. Divining signs and portents from SAH is futile and may be frustrating. if it goes retired before January, I'd be very surprised.

Not retiring and still in production according to SAH Customer Service. Back in stock later in May, along with 75153 X-Wing (although this will be out of stock for longer).

My daughter was fully potty-trained in less than a week when she was 2 1/2 years old. We started potty-training my son at the same age but with different results. My wife says that girls are smarter than boys. I decided not to fight that battle. You're only buying diapers twice a year for nighttime? Are they uber-Costco size boxes??

That's a pretty good deal @ $50 it looks especially clean too (Bonus!) The orange girders x2, orange 16x4 triple long wedge, large turbine & and especially the medium blue triple curve wedge #43712 (bottom right of bin) indicate you very likely have a 7709 Sentai Fortress in there - that's an easy $80-$100 alone - IF you can find the 6x crane sections as well (they're cheap themselves but a little difficult to ship cost-wise if replacements are needed)

Amazon 75155 - Star Wars: U-Wing - $53.99 (33% off)

Tiny black seas barracuda in the bottle by Bangoo H

I would buy most bins that size @ $50

Light bricks for the engines would sell me. To me, the Falcon's stern (back) was always the sexiest part of the ship.

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.
