My trunk on vacation. Time to do some shipping...my apologies to those in Hesperia and Santa Ana, CA. I invaded!!!

My thoughts exactly! Side note...ironically I did sell another Steamroller this morning. $52 shipped on eBay. First one I've sold in about two months. Down to 37.

Finishing up a friend from work!

70902 Catwoman Catcycle Chase x 31 at $5 each (75% off). 70903 The Riddler Riddle Racer x 13 at $13 each (57% off). One of my local Walmart's is going through a remodel. These two sets were already marked down to $10 and $20 respectively, and they had a lot on hand. I know the manager pretty well, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask for a little more off if I took them all. It was the perfect storm of scoring a mega deal. Total purchase came out to 68% off.

Figuratively, not literally

I didn't know Taby could speak so positively about a set. I think there's a glitch in the Matrix.

Brunojj1 Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 DTM - manual chassis. Great build!

Used @exciter1's time machine to get an Arctic Base for 50% off at Target.

Going to start this one tonight. Seal codes 23R7. It has 2 white boxes inside one with bags 1-4 multiples of each I will inventory them later for reference. Box 2 has bags 5-8 and bags 9-16 were loose in the bottom of the set box. Three instruction manuals sealed in a plastic bag without cardboard, 1 for each floor, I like how they highlighted the floor in color on the corresponding manual. They are similar to ideas manuals and have information on the designers, set, minifigs and history of Ninjago. Two sticker sheets, one unnumbered bag with various larger elements and one 32x32 dark grey base plate.

Emazers is making sure he has at least 20 Beatles Subs, This set to me will always be popular as the years go by. Even though Lego says Sold Out that does not mean they will never get anymore in, we have seen that plenty times before. I figure they will loose the License at the end of the year, but you never no.

nobody mentioned this i think but SAH is sold out of piggy banks....

LEGO is not learning anything - They just don't get it. How this could be true, I do not know - but it is. By the way, it's likely too late for them to learn, and undo the damage they have done - they have squandered an amazing status that most companies wouldn't even dream of having.

Surprisingly I'm caught up. I'm in the "I'm waiting for these to go on discount like the carnival sets" this time around.

I think I'm officially at the I can't keep up point.

Good for bundling with steamrollers.

UCS Batmobile 7784 off of Cl for $50. Score!

It all started with one of our fish having babies. We separated them in a breeding tank for a couple of days. But that was not enough....my wife and sons teamed up on me and begged for a bigger tank. Next thing I knew...we had decided to not only get a bigger tank, but also decided exactly how we wanted to decorate it. We love our Lego displays, and this was just another creative way to add to the collection. What the hell...right?!! Great build! Very fragile! Great display piece!

Spent most of Monday sorting. Was thrilled to learn everything is Old Grey! Spent most of last night building! (some "building" paraphernalia has been redacted for the children...) Holy x32 Greebling Batman! Scored for $240 CAD all in, sold erroneously as a 6211. Should I file a SNAD?? ?

Too bad, maybe the pillow fight accessories will come out in a future pack.

In the spirit of tonight's concert and a South Carolina hello to @Migration

Let me know when the 40+ at my TRU for $70 are gone...

So you're saying that people will be buying it from resellers.

The next Barnes & Noble sale should provide a decent opportunity to grab some more of these. My two stores are heavily stocked, and nobody buys lego from there. I'm assuming others share the same experience? I think I've only got 4-5 of these. My goal is 12-20.

Yeah the free double promo, along with it being $48 took it from available, to C2C, to sold out in a matter of hours today.

folks, obviously lego is going to throw in first edition swag if it's a 10179 remake. the letter of cert will look like...

pros and cons for each that I can think of. Thinking pros: helicopter only available from LEGO and TRU. Flagship set of the subtheme. Won't be repeated for a while. cons: City subthemes are quickly forgotten. I wouldn't expect a huge AFOL following that is looking to complete the theme or add more of these in the future. Maybe a slight bump over RRP after it's gone. Pros for AA: only available from LEGO and TRU (?). One of the flagship sets of the theme. Arguably better than the regular AA from a few years back. TLBM theme won't be repeated when this is done. Cons: Once it's gone, it'll be forgotten, too. Could follow same valuation path as the Lego movie sets. TLBM sets might not appeal to AFOL DC/Batman collectors. Better representation of the villains are in other sets, since these are just heads on a jumpsuit. Might just be me, but it seems like superhero sets are in a slump, so made-to-be-funny superhero versions might not do any better. Neither of these is on my radar at 20% off.

We all have our crosses to bear.

And possibly the ostriches from the eagles.

I agree with you. I think LEGO already has changed the way they sell sets. If it sells, it stays...If not...it goes. But at $800, I really don't think LEGO really cares one way or the other if this set sells. It's a "Statement Set." It's the biggest and best and makes for an awesome display piece at stores. With all these new movies with the Falcon in it, it's going nowhere soon in my opinion.

call me crazy but I'm liking the Arkham Asylum for $119.99 seems good, (trying to be close to the $99.00 mark)

First picture of the 40261 - Thanksgiving Seasonal set has surfaced: Found on Bouwsteentjes.info.

People don't want facts to interfere with their emotions.

Jabbas Sail Barge: hey remember me? cladner: Yes. i just sold one of you for $167 on FBA. ok for the buyin but not the hold time or relative to msrp. you sucked as an investment. Jabbas sail barge: I will wear the turd crown until you sell the last one of me at which point the price will surge because this set can't be made any more properly without slave leia. ..!..

Ares from Woman Woman Warrior Battle. I didn't buy the Marvel set with the large minifigure so this is my first time building one. Nice build. Legs have pretty much the same range of movement as a regular minifigure. The arms are on ball joints so even more range of movement is possible. There are stickers for the toro that I didn't apply. The face is one piece and is printed (only printed piece in the build). Here are some pics showing how the legs, arms and head work.

Francisco Hartley's Pagani Huayra with instructions from Thorsten50 completed.

Penguin's Arctic Cruiser car thingy I really like it. It shall be on display in the Winter Village some day

$75 local pick-up. Will likely be keeping this one.

and Raskolnikovs UCS Size AT-AT. Still trying to source the correct 5x5 dishes in lbg for the sides of the head. Also need another AT-AT driver and more snow troopers Next up is to build my bricklinked 10134 Y-Wing

I am a teacher and my class are studying Space next academic year. I built this to show the children as a hook. Great building experience. A classroom display will follow with the rocket as a centrepiece...

Destinys Bounty from Ninjago Movie. Unbelievably enjoyable build and when you consider it's only 2/3 price of Silent Mary it's incredible value. The Dragons heads are fantastic.

What an amazing build! Took us around 6 hours. The payoff on Step 236 of the yellow and red modified plate placement in Step 155 absolutely blew my mind. Bag Seven was a work of art. This set is solid gold, my favorite to date.

A Millennium Falcon with hyper inflation drive?

Very funny. Anyone who is an Angry Birds investor, please stand up! The first rule of not being laughed at. Don't stand up. I know some people have to be buying these sets, and I know some people will make some money of them. More power to you. I will admit to having a Piggy Pirate Ship and an Plane since I am still a sucker for Walmart clearance. Love the updates. Thanks.

8x $30 Arendelle Castle at Target

I was ok until this.

Again, this shows Lego's lack of fantasy.
