$3 DB on time to win sweep....

Time to Win - DB - Code: Bouqu3ts

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but spotted this on eb:

Bite your tongue. I want an Egghead minifig with his mech.

The Batsignal actually works!

Who is ready to not see the UCS Falcon tomorrow?

The Lego Batman Movie sets marked down again at Costco: 70905 The Batmobile: $29.99, 50% off retail ( as mentioned yesterday by @justapilgrim ) 70901 Mr. Freeze Ice Attack: $6.99, 70% off retail 70902 The Catwoman Catcycle Chase: $6.99, 70% off retail This is YMMV as they are just clearing out what they still have left from the shipment they got a couple of months ago.

41176 the secret marketplace. This is the one with the green dragon. It disappeared first from what I remember. It was clearanced around me for $30 before Christmas. Only picked up one thinking it was too early for it to retire. Oops. 41178 dragon sanctuary, the purple dragon one. I don't think I ever saw this one clearanced, it just disappeared during Christmastime and never came back. I did end up getting a bunch at a closing Kmart for about $30 each. I got excited when the price shot to $80+ and sold one then. Then another at $100, and a couple at $125. Now I have one left that I have listed at $150, which has got to be about as high as it will go right? I also let my wife open and build one because she likes the elves line....this was before the price went up. A couple reasons I think this one does better than the secret market place, besides maybe that it's more rare, is the color of the dragon and the build itself. There's already another elves set with a green dragon. This is the only purple one. And for anyone collecting all the dragon sets , this ones main build is a tower thing that has a spot for each of the different dragon eggs.

Down to 39! Bricklink...$51 shipped. These steam rollers are picking up steam!

You could post this all day long and no one reads it...

If it's not a big seller (TRU, Target, etc.), ask them to revise their price.

Some of us act as their warehouses, storing their sets in return for a discounted price, until the Christmas season.

Any set I do not posses will do great.

Nobody said he does not occasionally venture out for supplies in disguise.

I was going to ask where in the world they still have B&N stock like that, but your user name clearly explains it. Some Pringles trivia for the rest of us: Invented in Ohio The guy who invented the can was so proud of it he asked to be buried in a big one Pringles don't actually contain enough Potato to be called Potato Chips That's thoroughly disturbing.

Those guys made OPEC seem like a fair trade organisation the way they manipulated the market. Travel to another city and you´d be able to swap all your duds to complete the collection in a heartbeat.

Probably frustrated at the lack of deals!

Speed build if anyone's interested

Corner Deli might be available for some folks via local pick-up from Wal-Mart for $15. https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-LEGO-Creator-Corner-Deli-31050/47335723

Until I put up some suitable shelving the only place I can display this is in my office. Anyway I've finished the fleet. "Send the fleet to the far side of Endor.... there it will stay until called for"

Not great pictures, but they gives you an idea. I built this with my two boys.

Everyone wants to see **** slide down the Batpole. Right? Anyone?

Some of these sets are rare, some were discounted by SAH for months. There also seems to be susbtantial geographical disparity in distribution - a bit like those Panini sticker albums where everyone in the same area had the same doubles.

A friend of mine is thinking about offering his exceptional cognitive abilities (= member of Mensa = higher IQ than 98 % of the population) on a "pay-per-advice" basis to anyone having a problem/question he or she just cannot make a decision or is clueless about. 1) What would you ask someone like him/her? 2) What would you be willing to pay for a single advice? 3) Do "services" like this already exist (not counting fortunetellers or suicide hotlines) thx

Add a $5 Ebay Gc. It will not qualify for the promo, but since your total is now over $75, the coupon will trigger (pro-rated , over the qualifying amount). Pro-tip EDIT: Apparently, EBay changed the system. This no longer works. Minifig or other small item trick it is. I've used TRU's Chicken Coop box for this purpose in the past as well (if they are still available online).

In past flash sales, I've gotten prorated discounts. It'll show before you buy.

Something is mentioned here that might give a clue. Spoilers if you click through... http://www.eonline.com/news/856726/star-wars-the-last-jedi-5-movie-secrets-revealed-in-vanity-fair

I'm just wondering where Luke gets all those nice clothes from in the middle of nowhere?

Never thought of cling wrap, would definitely lesson the weight. Next ebay buyer might get a little surprise , as i test that out if trying to make an ounce weight difference for small sets under a LB.

Comes out next month or august?

I was about to say the same thing. It's on the Russian Lego homepage.

(Not real, just a mock up someone did)

Mario Kart: Mario Circuit by Cecilie Fritzvold

I remember watching Spite Your Face Productions' work for a long time originally on their site or over at Brickfilms. Their work was some of the very first stop motion LEGO animation I had seen. One of my favorites aside from the well-known "Monty Python & the Holy Grail in LEGO!" short was the roughly one minute long condensed take on Stanley Kubrick's classic simply titled "One: A Space Odyssey". Anywho, I hope you keep us posted about your wife's project.

I wish that was an option, but that doesn't exist. There's not really an inventory of parts within a bag for each set out there. The only thing I can think of, is to part the set to a Wanted List. Then, use the instructions and back out the pieces from the two bags manually.

Here is one I built myself (now up on Lego Ideas so please support it):

When I package up a set, a boxed one, not a poly-bag one, I almost always wrap it up like a gift in plastic so it is sealed. Not your typical plastic bags, but real Mil Plastic you get at your Home Improvement Store. Other than adding a little bit of weight to the shipment, any "bad things" anyone sees with this? The reason I do it is that if it is pouring on your delivery day, I would much rather take the extra step to make sure the box inside does not get wet as we all know cardboard soaks it up. I realize not everyone can be on their front porch waiting for delivery and in my few experiences when it has happened to me (rain.snow) the box is usually soaked and the contents inside can potentially have water damage. Just want to verify nothing bad can come of this before I continue this practice. It can be a pain to wrap them up tight, but just another added benefit that I hope buyers see as a good thing. Thoughts? Thanks in advance. EDIT: Like many of you do as well, I look to set the Bar High when it comes to making sure items are being properly shipped and delivered in the best possible condition. I also wrap nearly all smaller purchases in a 2nd layer of bubble wrap within a bubble mailer. IMO, bubble mailers do not offer enough bubble protection by themselves for our precious Lego.

Has anybody tried to make a bigger batsuit holding system with these. My son wants all his batman suits on there but I'm wondering what's an efficient way of going about it. Thanks

Well, my son is going to crap his pants for this one.

Open a second store but keep the 1st one open. Anything you don't want interfering in laws knowing about put up on the new account. When the whole divorce is finalised return to using the original store - no sense losing years (?) of good feedback

Our retail is $400 mind you.

....It's just Dick. No need to make such a big deal over Dick.

I know it's just his name, but I'm really surprised there's now an official sticker that says this:

two 75052 complete sets or batmobiles? i like the set. just don't like the cost. if i do ever buy the set, it will be from amazon w/ major reward points stocked up to create my own discount

Until that Batmobile starts selling that set.

With the numbering system, I doubt this is a UCS version. It's most likely just the 75038 done in a different color. No need to panic.
