We were on vacation in Asheville, NC 2 weeks ago, and during one of the rainy-days, I saw an ad on Craigslist for bulk lego that had some Harry Potter parts sticking out. The lot was split into multiple bags, so I offered $100 to take them all. Before leaving, she had her son run in and get the "ship" that was sitting on his shelf. He came out and plopped a Black Pearl on top of one of the boxes. =) After soaking and cleaning he pieces, the Pearl was mostly complete, only missing 1 sail and 1 mini-fig. I've also inventoried a Clone Turbo Tank, a Hogwarts, Hagrids Hut, LOTR Mines of Moira, and a Hobbit Goblin King Battle. There's more, including some space themed sets that I haven't yet identified, along with some Ninjago dragons. Good pick-up so far.

Having now built this, it's no wonder why Lego haven't released a UCS AT-AT. Despite his being well designed and structurally very stable it was a bit of nightmare putting everything together. I spent almost a day attaching the head onto the body. Biggest build to date coming in at just over 6700 pieces. Hopefully that will be topped by the new Falcon and then my UCS collection is complete with respect of in my opinion all of the iconic ships in Star Wars universe.

Toys R Us gift cards are $40 for $50 value on eBay. No link on my tablet, but the seller is PayPal digital gifts. You can get at least 5, but 8 wouldn't work.

Some early fireworks on CL over here. All three for $450. Still can't believe it.

I think I have a phone anxiety issue. I sent an email. They'll read it after it's shipped.

Family effort - all four of us put in time with this one. 41101 Heartlake Grand Hotel Love the modular nature of this.

Just pulled the trigger yesterday. Gonna have a classic Batman marathon while building. For you Adam West.

I sent a NASA rocket to my pops for a belated Father's Day gift. Thanks Target!

My daughter got 41122 Adventure Camp Tree house for her 8th birthday and enjoyed building it, which a little help from me. Especially cheese-slopes and other small details she finds still tricky. And after building it she also enjoys playing with it.

built the QAR

I doubt they had 100 returns come in this morning. There were 99 available (at least).

Seriously, 3 hours and it is still available at target.com ??? You guys are slacking https://www.target.com/p/lego-174-ideas-lego-174-nasa-apollo-saturn-v-21309/-/A-52316131

Nice to see Adam Grabowski a Lego Designer and AFOL from Poland (we used to be members of the same RLUG group before he joined TLG). Maybe that's why it's currently the cheapest offer out there on LEGO Shop at Home (cheapest in Europe) and second cheapest now worldwide (tax incl) Great project even better execution, day 1 purchase for sure, kudos to both designer and the author.

built the black pearl

built the shuttle expedition

I must be getting old. I can't remember the content of the catalog in 1 sitting anymore.... Too many sets & too many remakes

It´s all about the buy-in.

WM: 10815 duplo $2.50 75131 resistance trooper Battle pack $3.50 75523 scarif stormtrooper $7 KMART: 60137 tow truck trouble $11 41129 friends hot dog van $10 each 10723 juniors ariel's dolphin carriage $7.50 ea OFFERUP: 75149 resistance x-wing $35

I just had to call SAH customer support for something else. So I asked about 21309 he said they originally had 4,000 back orders in the US and 11,000 in Europe. All US back orders have been filled and most of Europes have been filled. He didn't know when it would be back on US SAH but said August 1 for Europe. Take it with a grain of salt as its "a LEGO employee told me" but that's the first i have heard that they are still filling back orders.

I bought the Silent Mary today from Disney online. Used the 25% off and first time cardholder to get $100 statement credit. Comes out to $85. Either going to hold or build as I've not decided yet.

No there is a list with end of production dates and the member here that provides the information to Allen over on BF is just shooting as all in the foot. He likes the fame

99 still there for me. Edit: oops, I think this thread is having two different conversations: Apollo @ Target (still there) and Paypal TRU gift cards (poof)

Hold the line.

Interesting page up at The Brick Fan: http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-retiring-soon-direct-to-consumer-sets/ List of D2C to be retired for certain this year: 76052 DC Comics Super Heroes Batman Classic TV Series – Batcave 76042 Marvel Super Heroes The SHIELD Helicarrier 75095 Star Wars TIE Fighter 10232 Creator Palace Cinema 71006 The Simpsons House 71016 The KWIK E-Mart The TIE Fighter is a minor surprise since it skips the 75060 Slave-1 in line. The rest is all as expected.

You may well have answered your own question!

SYW dropping mad hints today lol.

pics or it didn't happen What I've found so far

So, I finally decided to crack open the set after being able to find time. However, I had to call in some additional help. "Okay, team. Grab that thing-a-ma-brick and we'll attach it to here..." "Okay, Captain. I'm going to give you this injection for space sickness. So hold still. This won't hurt...much.." "Uh...doctor, are you sure...." "Shhhhh."

built the green grocer

Its from Lego Harry Potter Shrieking Shack 4756. I have a few of those

One would hope so as Simpsons´ House is going to have a modular like lifecycle if it doesn´t.

I have 2 complete and one without figs, should be good for one decent Batcave.

41591 Black Widow on sale for $7.99 "retiring soon" 60098 heavy haul train on sale $159.99 "retiring soon" 60097 city square on sale $151.99 "retiring soon" on US SAH

Pulled the trigger on this.

I think most people with any knowledge would peg those as sets to retire this year. The source could be just about anyone who reads this site.

West coast checking in. Already sold out

I may have a problem

Always earn then spend, there is no point accumulating points

I'm sure plenty of people won't care about damaged boxes as long as all the pieces are there. If not, they can always refuse the parcel and pay for return postage.

3rd pod poly (apologies for poor quality image)

5 x 41233 Lashina Tank $7.48 each 5 x 441234 Bumblebee Helicopter $7.48 each 5 x 41127 Amusement Park Arcade $7.48 each 3 x 41179 Queen Dragon's Rescue $28.48 each all from one local target. Paid with red card so additional 5% off

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

Slave 1 completed and added to the UCS ship shelf.

built the Grand Emporium

Paid a few pounds for this 1960s set at a local Car Boot Sale. Not sure of its value (Bricklink has one without the booklet for £15 but can't find it elsewhere). Really interesting box and booklet. Everyone else was haggling over low-end Star Wars sets.

​I've got 15 Rancor Pits and 11 Jabba Palace. I plan on selling as a pair, but I will have a few extra Rancor Pits that I will sell individually. I think the Pit will do just fine by itself because it is the only set to ever feature the Rancor maxifig. If you haven't seen or held that fig in person it is absolutely amazing. There will always be those people that for some reason or another acquired the Palace but never got the Pit, and now they want one. The combos are selling for a pretty penny already, but I don't plan on selling any of my Pits or Palaces for at least another two years because I think the ceiling on these is very high.
