3 Lego volcano exploration @ Walmart $67.00 Plus over BrickFair I met the CEO of Lego and traded business cards.

Tonight I finally finished off the UCS Tie Fighter while watching Episode IV. After sitting in my build pile since December, I decided to put it together doing 1-2 bags per night over the last week. Overall, I was very happy with the set. I'm not sure why such harsh criticism? Also, I disassembled and put away Technic set 42030 Volvo L350F Wheel Loader....primarily in order to make room for more SW UCS sets. UCS Slave 1 is up next.

Made with a 11" x 18" keepsake box from Aaron Brothers..

Speaking of aliens:

I know it is bad internet etiquette to quote yourself but I was amazed to see when I got these today 31067-9 do connect to make a "MODULAR" MSRP would be $140 and piece count is 1470. Check out the use of the word "MODULAR" on the back.

is that the regular order status thread or the R2 polybag order status thread?

70352 Jestro's Headquarters $54.67 on Amazon (39% off).

Interesting location for a basketball hoop.....

TRU. Coudnt say no to ultra agents at $14 ea. You can hate jurrassic world sets were whatever TRU had it for today ($24?), paid with 20% gift cards.

Long live admiral whatshisnames !!!

Well, I'm sure there's one other dude that will always be able to sell on Amazon.

So basically selling LEGO on Amazon by anyone but LEGO will one day become impossible.

I stayed in a galaxy far, far away... due to that ginormous sticker

4 75049 Snowspeeder $52 each. Not bad considering I just picked them up a week ago.

Those aren't clearance items. The clearance items are the ones on the main list that originally ended in .98. Sith Infiltator, Hurricane Heist, Jestro, Avenjet and First Order Transporter are clearanced. Everything else is just "Sale".

My snow speeder arrived today. Corner was slightly crushed but r2 was in there so I'm happy. Bought a few things at TRU to celebrate their arrival. Oh crap, wrong thread.

$75 for X-Mas isn't far-fetched at all. That's 6 more months of low ballers getting rid of their stock.

Toys R Us Today: First off, this was my 2nd large haul off a sale, and for those of you who do this on the regular... hats off... it was exhausting haha (but a rush too) Picked up: x4 Dilophosaurus Ambush (75916) x1 Crossbones Hazard (76050) - (personal) x1 Avenjet (76049) - (personal) x3 Scuderia Ferrari Truck (75913) x3 4x4 Off Roader (60115) No Raptors, and someone snatched the last two Sith Infiltrators right as I was debating getting them. Now the fun part, I head to the register and for whatever reason, Dilophosaurus / Crossbones / Avenjet ring up correctly with price from website, but the Scuderia Truck and 4x4 do not... So we price match, then I apply for TRU CC and stack 15% off on top of that... However, the ones that the cashier price matched manually (scuderia and 4x4) did NOT deduct the additional 15% off... so we had to manually adjust them AGAIN. Now while this is happening and the line is growing angry behind me, my cashier calls over her manager for help and he sees my x3 Scuderia's and says "Oh crap, that's my order I am trying to fill for a customer". He then awkwardly asks me if I am reseller and tries to bribe me to leave 1 of the 3 behind so he can fulfill his customer's order. I politely say no (I did not rush out of work to then have my product guilted away from me). Well he then CALLS the customer right next to me and tells them "Sorry, another customer JUST purchased your sets", naturally the receiving person didn't seem happy. Overall, kind of awkward... Anyways, after all of that, she manually price matched everything and I paid with discounted GC from Rise I bought this morning with the MOM3 code. Worked like a charm. So sale price + 15% off TRU CC + discounted GCs > that 20+ minute transaction

maybe he's just doing a public service by trying to mop up this endless lingering TRU-exclusive stock blocking these recently retired sets from enjoying the post EOL bump they so justly deserve. keep it up IronManDan!

The rathtar set is junk.

I think im done with Walmart clearance for now 20x AT RE 3x Krennic 10x Vader 10x KS20 2x Scarecrow Harvest 10x Desert Outpost 10x End Portal 1x Volcano Base 5x Duplo Spiderman 6x Junior Ninjago 1x Junior Ninjago Temple prolly left behind 20 or 30 Jakku and Scariff - im going to wait for them to hit 75% Sticking with my plan of it must be 50% or better to buy and if i have no faith in it, it must be 75% off

So they are Laterham .... Har har

My Kmart.com order arrived!

Called it

I sold one today local for $45.

@Alpinemaps had the same thing after I had to reestablish my RewardsRUs account after it was hacked. Try doing it then go to your TRU account like you are going to buy something and update your TRU password to match your new rewards password. Worked for me.

Here's a quote from an Amazon email, so I don't see how Amazon could make you eat the cost in this situation. Let us know how it turns out. "When you ship a seller-fulfilled (non-FBA) order using postage you purchased from Buy Shipping Services in Seller Central, we'll take care of the claim if the buyer reports the order wasn't received. You won't receive a notification on your Manage Returns page and your Order Defect Rate won't be affected."

There you go @Bold Arrow

Those TRU parking lots are going to start getting really crowded.

Then you should be covered . Open a case and billet point the policy regarding INR and purchasing shipping from amazon .

Apologies if this is posted elsewhere, I couldn't find a related topic. Anyway, this is now selling on Amazon here in the U.K. for £28. It's creeping up in price quite nicely.

Sleuthing. Definitely respecting the VW. I saw the post the other day with the pic of the big and mini side by side and really wanted one. Wanted to see what you're asking for them.

i went in quite deep at 50% in uk, should do well if jawas don't show up everywhere. Previous version 9490 did great for me, carried by those detailed sandtroopers.

lol Shrewd sleuthing or witty rapport? Either way, respect the mini-VW. Saved my BrickLink store, and my marriage. =)

End of April slowed some for me, compared from Feb and March, but I also pulled a lot of my loose brick out of my inventory as I've been shifting to selling primarily sealed sets. I also raised the prices on many of my sets as I felt more confident in what I was doing and didn't need to undercut so much to get a sale. But since May started my sales have increased again. At my new higher prices =) I'm still pretty new to this, been open just over a year now, But certainly having a higher feedback score helps, and I'm seeing more frequent customers buying from me in bulk. It's not clear if my new strategies are working or just my good customer service is driving the sales. Maybe a combo of both. I'm happy though.

Spotted in Billund today:

I totally agree. I would pass on all of them. Well, maybe not the Ultra Agents stuff. edit: That's sarcasm. I don't wanna go to bed feeling guilty tonight from being told by a rookie he arm-swept all of the UA stuff.

This story isn't complete without telling us what the manager offered. Good karma?

Opportunity cost and this might be your last opportunity. The prices are good too... It's nice watching some of these disappear from the website one-by-one.

@scatttcatThis isn't true. I get rewards points for the full purchase price shown on the receipt, including the double points, as long as $1 goes on my TRU card. If nothing is put on a TRU card, you would still get the standard rewards points if paying in full or part with gift cards. One caveat is that you don't get double points the day you open your card and get the bonus 15%. You can only earn standard rewards points on that day. You can even get rewards points if you purchase from Toys R Us orders through eBay, Newegg, etc., with or without the TRU card. You just have to submit a missing points request for this with the invoice/order # shown on the packing slip once you receive the items.

I know I shouldn't be resurrecting this thread, but I'm just too happy and need to post. As of this month, my collection of these marvel lego variant covers is complete. I believe I am the first person to ever have a confirmed complete collection of these. I have every single one that was released in both regular (1:25) and sketch (1:100) variants. Only the two at the top (Rocket Raccoon #1 and Marvel Universe: Avengers Assemble #1) never had sketch variants released.

If they can't fulfill by the 25th, these will be Canceledham...

Well, Amazon are also playing dirty by promising backorder on sets like Bionicle and Elves that are not coming back.....

31052 Vacation Getaways is 34.99€ (-42%) on Amazon.

Hi there, i would like to see a Nebulon-B frigate. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/129607-moc-new-ucs-nebulon-b-medical-frigate-redemption/ Phil...

Another weird one. I have had 3 Brick Bountys on my Amazon site for months. Then in a 4 hour period on Friday night each of them sold to completely different buyers for $230 CDN each. This is great news, but I usually would increase the price a little after each sale and I didn't have time to do that with this blitz of activity. In to each life a little rain must fall. Was there some development in the pirating world I should be aware of? Seemed very odd to me.

Love the Santa photo - I updated it with the appropriate caption.
