I have not been in this thread for a while, but glad you were able to get a copy of the instructions. The building is not too bad to modify. We put a grocery/convenience store on the bottom and moved the comic shop upstairs in our building....

Worked on this too...

Dimensions fun packs Hermione and Chase McCain are $5.99 on Amazon. Think this is the first time I have seen Hermione go on sale for 50% off. https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Dimensions-City-Fun-Pack/dp/B01N3BAKTX/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1497955372&sr=1-1&keywords=lego+dimensions+fun+pack https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Dimensions-Harry-Potter-Hermione-Pack/dp/B01NB0HKS8/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1497955456&sr=1-1&keywords=hermione+lego+dimensions

Found this guy in store, and also grabbed a Halo Master Chief for same price. I mean for less than $5, why not!

Perhaps we need a "They paid How Much! for that?" thread

This post is directed at small parts sellers, shipping internationally, that like living on the edge. I've come up with a packaging hack to get around the $13.50+ charge for international shipping. Two caveats: -insurance is not offered for this method. -this method is not time tested. I've been shipping small overseas parts orders as "First Class Mail International - Large Envelope" (in PayPal.) The main constraint is the envelope must be less than 3/4". Today I shipped these to Indonesia: I used three pieces of 2-ply cardboard. In one of the pieces, I cut two holes. The pieces with the holes goes in between the other two pieces. The LEGO sits in the nests created by the holes. I taped up the LEGO sandwich. Stuck it in a manila envelope and bathed it in tape. The finished envelope was 1/2" thick and 3oz. Shipping cost to Indonesia was $4.05. I've done this eight times now with no problems. I only ship small parts, torsos, legs, heads, and hands this way. I have avoided sending some more fragile small parts, like helmets using this technique. As has been discussed earlier, sending LEGO in an envelope is not recommended and has it's risks. That said, is anyone else using envelopes for international shipping? I'd be interested in hearing how you do it. Cheers.

God bless capitalism! Closing Kmart all 50% off (should be able to use points/coupons too)

Not cool! Can I please get some help reporting this clown? (If this needs to be moved, I understand). http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Sealed-Creative-Custom-THE-APOLLO-SATURN-V-LEGO-21309-/152593264765?hash=item238744707d:g:wlQAAOSwPK1ZSSOV

I bought a few from TRU already, but might get a couple more Gremlins and Goonies if Amazon drops them.

I always round up to the next ounce just to be safe. It costs a few extra cents in most cases but can save you a world of potential trouble. I have also found that small post offices examine packages more closely. My local post office is in a very small town and if I take packages there the guy looks at every package and weighs them. I work in a small city and I take my packages to the main branch most of the time which is close to my work. I just put the packages on the counter and no one even looks at me.

We visited Brickworld Chicago in Schaumburg, IL. It was a blast.

You should stack more gently. Get another cart man! Your going to damage the gold!

I got a warning once for being .6 oz over. Basically I said a 10.6 oz package was 10 not 11 oz, since they round up. Others have said that small, rural post offices with nothing to do will weigh your package for accuracy. Others have also said the post office has withheld packages from the recipient until the recipient pays the cost difference. An easy way to piss off a customer.

If you're still wanting to get a bat battle pod the Toys R Us in Olympia still has a ton. I'm sure they all do though and they are 5.99 now that the promotion is over

1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS

ADs will start 06-21 coupon for 06-25 ends 07-04

Yes. I've never had a problem with TRUTH stacking with coupons.

You were able to stack 10% from TRUTH AND the 15% off coupon??

It worked for me. But...I don't know if it was a YMMV. I was very aware of what the price should be (because I was using TRUTH, Coupons, and Rewards). So when it wasn't coming out at that price, she mumbled something about the coupon not applying, and then it was applied. I don't know if it was because it shouldn't have applied (and she did it), or, if it's because she did something wrong in the order of things. Don't know. But, she never specifically said "the coupon won't work on that". It seemed like just a cashier screw up. So bottom line, I believe it works just fine. Just be sure to look in the PotC section of the store (up front), and not the LEGO section.

Is that in reference to the Detention Block or Power Armor Lex?

its in the Xtra tab

Yes, bubble mailers are packages. Domestically, you can pay extra $0.70 or something to have your letter hand sorted, rather than go through the machine. I don't know if that works internationally, but an extra something to ensure your Lego doesn't get eaten up.

you will get busted quickly. not worth it. there is an art to shipping things cheap while following the rules. for me, that art is called FBA.

Kmart closing on Walmart road trip I hit one out-of-the way store closing and found a few gems... Emma's House (sticker 69.99) for $42 and 4 Space Starters (sticker 9.99) for $6 after mystery coupon, GC and points back. The weekend VIP 15% in points didn't show up in my account. - Coupons work if the cashier is willing to swipe them - my cashier had a debate with the front-end manager and told the manager she'd been swiping coupons all day. - pre-loaded coupon applied for $7 off- I assume that this was a 7 off 50 I had loaded, but was totally not expecting since it didn't work at a different store closing last week. - $10 in points on $50 applied

Well, if they make the same mess as they did with Exo Suit, we should just hold off and pick up excess stock at 50% off.

Started the Saturn V with my two boys. Got about half-way through. Was great fun!

Any one taking advantage of the Speed Champions deal? Not amazing... only 20% off each (BOGO 40% off) really but I don't find these heavily discount very often at all. For personal collection I really the Ford GT/1966 GT40, and Chevy Camaro Drag Race. Would love to find a better deal than 20%. I do have some gift cards to use though. http://www.toysrus.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=60532996&ab=TRU_BrandShop:LEGO_Speed_ShopNow:1

For sure. As long as it's selling, they will keep it on shelves.

This is one of the old LEGO Star Wars builds where the usage of odd colors (in this case blue) looks stylish in a way. Being a good design to begin with also helps.

This is the biggest problem I have with resellers. Not all of you, but the ones that go out and buy hundreds at a time. I honestly don't have a problem with you guys making money, but on a set like this that I know will be chronically sold out/backordered probably for the entirety of it's shelf life, this is pretty ridiculous. I'm glad I was able to get a hold of mine as soon as it went live because I knew this was going to be a nightmare if I was forced to wait. But it seems that a huge swath of customers will be left out because they don't keep an eye on stock levels every second of the day and some will inevitably be stuck. And seeing a picture of 20+ sets being horded like that is stupid. To tell you all the truth, I hope this is Exo Suit all over again for you guys.
