LOL...someone's mad (not me). Nordstrom was their LEGO honeyhole, but that's over now.

Hell's no, I wear them to Packers games.

Nordstrom.com has some limited lego at 40% off and a few at 60% but some sold out

(Slowly walks, ever so quietly, back out of room)...

built the green grocer

And Nordstrom's suddenly experiences more Lego sales in a day than they have the whole year

Sounds like Exciter is sipping the moonshine again. Either that or the lead paint from all his SW collectibles are getting to him.

In for some leggings, push-up bras, and some yoga pants.

Droid Escape Pod. Better than expected. Now I have an excuse to slice open one of my UCS Sandcrawlers!

built the shuttle expedition

I think I know that guy. Side note...anyone looking for Packer tix this season send me a PM. I've got about 30 extras for various home games. I price them below stubhub, and offer free parking at my place. I'm a ten minute walk from Lambeau. If you buy multiple games I'll throw in a free Joker Steamroller, too!

This is not just an investment website; it is also a Lego community with many people who build and enjoy Lego. You don't need to $hit on a set when the poster specifically asked for a display case. Obviously if the poster wants to display it in a case, what difference does it make if the techniques used make it a fragile and unplayable?

My son got a few of these for his birthday, including Mime and March Harriet... he cracks me up: He calls them "Electro-mime and Murder Bunny"

Thank you Elkthunder! I also had no idea that Nordstrom sold LEGO items. Some decent deals still in stock. I think I'll pass (slowly puts away wallet).

Fixed that for you.

Finally. Sharks with frickin' laser beams. Now we can all die in peace.

My yoga mat with detachable wine fridge is still processing.

If you are handy you could make your own, once I get the chance I am going to follow this guys instructions to make a few. Not too complicated and can easily be adapted to suit I think.

Next time man, next time!

Nordstrom shipped one of my hand bag orders. No tracking number though.

Room for two bro!

This has been on my short list for a while now. Finally snagged one complete (no box) for under $200. I Can't wait to set up the winter village now.

There are a few SH sets out there, Antman aside, that are doing quite well. Not all turds!

1pm Wild Wins game is live in Xtra. Also, Xtra is now showing up as a tab in Win It app.

10am / $5 wild win game is live (1x play) On top of the normal wild wins Wednesday (5x plays)

It also be at home in everyone's Power Ranger moc

Terry looking hot!

~25 sets added to clearance. Only 25-30% off though.

Looks fine to me. Nowadays your going to offend someone no matter what you do though. I wouldn't worry about it.

Colour coded, $4.99 should cover it.

I like that set, and would probably pick that up as it's a ship (in a bottle!) and it's pretty cool. But I better get Voltron. Just sayin'

Fixed that for ya...

Bonjour, Canadians! I didn't know where to put this but this seemed to be the Canada thread. I'm visiting Quebec and Montreal next week for the first time. Furthermore, it's actually my first time in Canada as well! Any worthy LEGO hunting locations in both the cities? I'll be staying inside the city so I wanted to experience them as well as pick up some souvenirs.

You should be able to scroll back through the app to find the post with the offer. The details should be in a comment posted as a reply. It might take you awhile to get all the way down. You should be able to take a screenshot on your phone/tablet once you find it.

One of the reasons that Amazon gated textbooks was because they were sued by textbook manufacturers over counterfeit sales back in January. I don't have any insight into what has come of that litigation, but my assumption is that the recent gating is a response to it. The same thing could certainly happen in the Lego market if TLG took a similar step as the textbook publishers, but they don't have the same incentives to be as aggressive given that their business model is so different than textbook publishers. Those companies have a vested interest in destroying the secondary market for their products because every textbook that is resold is one less sale that the company will realize...that's why they refresh textbooks every few years with new editions. For Lego, the secondary market is fundamentally different...retired sets don't function as substitutes for sets that are currently available so Lego doesn't have the same inherent incentive to destroy the secondary market. And Amazon is, I think, keenly aware that imposing a hard brand gate on Lego would effectively destroy the market given the restrictions that TLG places on who can become an authorized dealer. If they weren't, I don't think they would have been as generous with the grandfathering last year.

That's harsh. But funny.

I would pass. Not enough quantity of anything interesting to me unless you buy 20 of them cheaper than $35 (more like $15)

I think so, I discovered a single WALMART exclusive A-Wing in 2015 and that never came out so I think they moved it to this year - which was an absolute surprise to all of us, remember?

Who knew Nordstroms sold lego. Thanks for the heads up. Picked up a few things.

I am too busy avoiding the set, but pretty sure it was sub-13 before, if nothing else as result of Bogo40

It's been a good, consistent seller on Amazon (according to CCC) and has 140+ reviews (another indicator of popularity with the real buying public). It would seem like some demand is there, but it's become a casualty in the retail war. Oh well. Here's to future Captain and Tennille MOCs.

Not yet. They pushed it to the next reveal. I thought I heard we'd be getting results soon? I think (hope) Voltron will happen. I think the delay is just related to the number of lawyers working on the licensing agreement. On a basic Ideas set, you'd have LEGO and the creator to deal with. On every other licensed Ideas set, you'd have the licensee (e.g. BBC Worldwide for Doctor Who), the creator and LEGO. With Voltron you're going to have two licensees. You'd have the US rights holder (because it's Voltron, not Golion), and then you have the Golion Japanese rights holder. I don't know that for sure and you would think that the US holder has carte blanc to license as they see fit, but I'm guessing that building block toys isn't covered by that license.

Slave 1 completed and added to the UCS ship shelf.

I am still not sold on dark haired Aquaman. Orange suit Aquaman + 2 dolphins from the Friends boat, however.....

Yeah, my sons were very put off by the different voices. Why not just use the original voice actors? How much more marketing buzz gets generated by having Fred Armisen voice one of the characters? I've never understood having famous people be voices for animated films.

Sounds remarkably similar to my reaction when I first saw Michael Bay's version of Transformers. Granted I was closer to 26 than 6, but well. yeah.

He started crying? Wow, good job LEGO lol Lotta people don't like change. ?
