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 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?

For a friend, right?

I thought I had purchased four Apollo Saturn's from Target, but this is what showed up on my doorstep today. I'm not normally too picky on box condition. I can handle a dent here, a crease there, maybe even a small puncture, but these were too trashed, even for my standards. I'm thinking the delivery driver played kick ball with the package, after he stood on it to reach something on the top shelf of his truck. I just brought them back to the store. The CS girl wasn't shocked, as she stated that they have been receiving a lot of online returns like this lately. The return was hassle free, which was nice, and the store is only a couple miles from my house so it wasn't too big of a hassle. I offered to take them all for $30 each, but she said they will probably be sent to salvage. Figured it was worth a shot.

Chicken Walker is $24. I can live with that price.

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.

My wife couldn't wait to rip into the Castle. This is 4 bags and about 200 steps in.

Lol. So many haters here. "I hope this is like The Tumbler." Lol. I came to this forum over three years ago to collaborate, contribute and hopefully learn how to be a better reseller. Now I just come on here to lurk on the haters and use the Brickfolio which I am sincerely grateful. for. I just don't understand the jealously here and make no mistake, that's all it is. I see the same thing at my job. I work in sales and some of us make $10k a month and others only make $2k and the ones that make $2k a month have the same attitudes that I see from a few on this forum. If you are on a reselling forum and get pissed that you didn't get your Saturn V on June 1st then I don't feel sorry for you because you weren't trying hard enough. There are reselling experts on here. Reach out to them is you're struggling in one area of your reselling business model. It wasn't too long ago that I could only afford only 33 Santas Workshops. Some may say, "ONLY 33 Santa's Workshops??" Well it took me over a year to buy all those sets and I worked very hard to get them. As I worked hard to purchase some sets, it eventually became easier to buy others. Now I am buying hundreds, that's right, hundreds, of one set (It's not Saturn V) that everybody has access to right now. I fully intend to corner the market once this set retires and I don't feel bad about it at all. It's also important to understand that intelligent resellers needs quick flippers in order to compile data on a set. In 2018-19 folks will turn to CamelX3 to see what Saturn V was selling for on the date it was released. If the data shows that it went for 225-$250, which it will, and you can get this set discounted at $99 then that's a good buy and you know it will definitely perform better than The Tumbler. I know some much bigger resellers than me. I was talking to one the other week and they told me they made close to $15k on their Saturn V rockets. You know what I told them, "Congratulations." I also chat with smaller resellers and I say the same thing to them. All of us have one main thing in common, we're successful. You are the company you keep. Congratulations! I am happy for you.
