$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?

76083 - Spider-Man Homecoming: Beware the Vulture

I don't know if you have inside info or not, but tomorrow is the 40th Anniversary and if any day is ripe for an announcement it's tomorrow.

Why can't they just use the lego product numbers?? What the heck are the two Not Shown ones? I like those mid to small size sets. They move. Edit: Those numbers search accurately on the site. Jyn and Rey constraction figs. Booo.

I do a variation of this with saran (cling) wrap depending on the season and where I'm sending the box. I don't think it can hurt. I'm with you on extra protection in bubble envelopes. I wrap in strips of cardboard before putting in the bubble mailer, which I know is overkill. My point is, if you are looking for someone to sign off on obsessive shipping practices, Legoman I'm your guy!

Yep, the link is in a comment here.

You know what they say about small thumbs...........

The EAGLE has landed. The box is huge and can see this being an issue for those wanting MISB as it is like an Arch set easily scuffed/damaged due to weight. Going to build this one this weekend not sure about the other 99 Big thanks again to @Kenxxx for the DD

This warrants a separate thread - with fancy stock counters and sales ticker .....

Today we had a family day out in London to visit the DC Heroes - Art of the Brick. The models were so impressive, definitely worth a visit for those that are local. Here are a few snaps:

Ok so this guy has been floating around this week.. I'm pretty sure this is called 30610 Giant-Man Hank Pym

He looks like he forgot to do something before jumping into battle. So absent minded.

Gladiator Cosplay. ?

I keep a canned response saved as an email template for these buyers. I got burned by a box snob once ... never again.

There's been 30+ posts on the matter, and I still don't know how I feel about it. I fear I've lost the ability to form opinions on the internet when nobody is resorting to personal attacks, Hitler analogies, or sarcastic memes... Come on guys, you're gonna have to work alot harder here to make a compelling argument!

Good, healthy debate - why I frequent Brickpicker. See clear arguments on both sides. Thank you to everyone weighing in. Do want to clear up something that has been misconstrued as the debate continued. In no way was I wanting to know if the sets I could see had all of the mini figures, nor was I expecting that they did. What I did want to know from the seller was whether or not it had been picked through to remove figures en masse. I asked one simple question, and I think a fair question for a bulk lot if it is not stated already. Their answer affirmed that it had not. But the reality was it clearly had. I'll mull over how to proceed. I tried to reach out diplomatically to seller, but they broke @KShine's mantra above without hesitation. Not sure if they are willing to bring it back to civil communication. Now someone bring on another juicy, eBay fruitcake topic...

Any buyer that asks that many questions about a mixed/bulk lot I'm selling gets blocked. End of story. Bulk is bulk, do not buy based on what you think is there, pay only for what you actually see. And no, I am not the seller that started this whole fiasco off.

A parent selling toys that their child no longer plays with can't be expected to know every detail about the item. They know that Johnny had lots of LEGO, we've gathered all the we can find (60 lbs worth), and this is what there is. Are they meant to research that every minifig piece is correct? Would you open a not as described if they said that Obi Wan was included, and when you get it, the legs were wrong? It appears that some here would. If I had a selling platform, my primary rules for both buyers and sellers would be - Be honest, be fair, and don't be an ass.

Yeah, definitely 50%. Unusual for us to get a significant discount on any large set! It and Assault on Hoth are half price in Target as of tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that. I always make my decision on shipping without tracking based on feedback and dollar value. If they don't like price of tracking, I can ship letter mail but they need to take all the risk and pay me via friends and family option.

Oh, yeah. That Batsignal with a light brick?!? Too awesome.

Some reason seeing Grayson's first name censored so many times is just hilarious to me. Now if only LEGO did something with a certain private eye called Tracy who liked wearing a signature yellow trench coat.
