Thank God. @Alpinemaps would have been unbearable if it hadn't been made.

Those clearance stickers probably have a small exclusion list on them that includes LEGO Construction Sets.

LEGO Ideas Third 2016 Review Results And I hope you are "Ready to Form Voltron!" And Ship In a Bottle

I did not watch Voltron either, but I am happy to get a traditional Japanese mech for the sake of fun. Now somebody please pass a Godzilla so I can make them fight in my modular city.

HELLL YEAAHHHH!!!!! @Alpinemaps dude...plug in your phone. 18% AT 7AM?! Going to be lots of chatter today! ;-)

I finally finished up UCS Artoo after a week of 1-2 bags per night. I really enjoyed the build and love the final result.

Finally got around to starting this last night. Did bags 1&2, no stickers yet, KAI and KONRAD figs with his fishing boat. A couple of elements in new colors to me they may be in some mixels or friends sets that I haven't built and one new element that is covered. Took me longer then expected because I had to line up all the imprints on the translucent light blue elements but looks nice. Plan on bags 3& 4 tonight.

When you hear folks talking about the issue of a "nexus" in relation to sales tax, they're talking about the factual circumstances that have to exist in order for a state's tax authority to exercise personal jurisdiction consistent with the due process clauses in the U.S. constitution over you or your business in order to require you to collect and remit sales tax to the state. The easiest way to establish a nexus is actual presence within a state. So if you live in a state, that state has the legal right to require you to collect and remit sales tax. On the other end of the spectrum, if you have no contact with a state whatsoever, there is no nexus and that state cannot exercise jurisdiction over you for the purpose of dragging you into its courts in order to enforce its sales tax laws. The tricky part is the in between and the question of how much contact (or "nexus") does one have to have with a particular state for that state to have the ability to enforce its tax laws against you consistent with the constitutional due process protections. Personally, I don't buy the argument that inventory stored in an FBA warehouse in a distant state is enough to give that state the right to enforce its tax laws against me. I don't think that is enough standing alone to create a nexus for tax purposes. Some states have passed laws that say that it is enough, but those state laws are not the last word on the subject because they remain subject to restrictions that flow from the constitution. The people who I primarily see arguing that those laws are enough and that the presence of inventory in an FBA warehouse does create a nexus tend to be people who have a vested financial interest in convincing people that a nexus exists so that they can sell those people some type of tax preparation, calculation, or submission service (e.g., Taxjar). That's probably more than you want to know, but is how I understand the nexus issue.

I was wondering today... what with all the Walmart clearance going on right now... my Toys R Us has plenty of two-year-old junk on the shelves taking up too much space... how do they have room for all the new sets coming out this month? So I stopped in and found... they don't Not much to get excited about, tho... I picked up some of the smaller Bionicles. With partial pay and a gift card, got 11 Bionicles out the door for $5.55 ea ... piled on $20 in rewards to make them about $3.75 ea.

Glad I could help! 1985, I'm in 8th grade, and my friends and I are in our yards playing Voltron. Forming Blazing Swords, fighting off Robeasts. It was a grand nerdy time. I obsessed over that show. Saw every episode. Hunted down the name of all 15 Vehicle Voltron characters (wasn't easy!). Had both the big Matchbox sets. I have a grand total of ONE Funko Pop on my desk. It's this guy: As soon as the Ideas set got posted, I was on the bandwagon. I probably over shared the Idea on Reddit. I remember being really bummed that it was about 500 supporters short of 10,000 when they closed the review period on March 1, 2016. So it had to wait until the next review period closed (it made it's goal a few hours after the review period closed). This is a Day One, retail price pick up for me. I most likely will get two of these, on to build out as Voltron, and one to have as the Lions. Short of being the Ideas creator, I've got to be one of the happiest guys around about this set. I even built this guys (thanks to TOK's help):

You can never know the feeling of going to Walmart without actually going. The wildlife there is something to behold. The first few times I went on Lego hunts at few prime Florida locations, I really had to consider whether it was worth it. It's the intersection of two very popular (and very true) memes: "Florida Man" and "People of Walmart". There's not one visit that I don't see one or both.

My store said there were 10x at $10, only found 3

Finally all here. My SDCC collection is complete once more!

Not a shocker that TRU needs to take notes from Target and WM on how to properly price clearance.

I may have cried. I certainly would have been in disbelieve. What boggles my mind is that the Ideas submission happened last March, and we are just now hearing that it's official. It's probably going to be next Spring (or maybe Comic Con time next year?) before we have a release. My wife looked at me more oddly than usually, as I was bouncing up the stairs yelling "I'm ready to form Voltron!" over and over again. lol I charge my phone all day at work.

Good on three orders until 10/1.

Booo! I was forced to use my EBay Bucks since they were expiring last night.

I'm seeing 6% eBay bucks, no minimum purchase.

Congrats to you Voltron fans! Hopefully the model is jnteresting and good enough to make me want to get it as Ive never watched Voltron Good to see that guy was right about Ship in a Bottle woo!

10 x Amusement Park Bumper Cars for €12.50 each. Almost feels like I've been to Walmart

Congrats to all the Voltron lovers. I was hoping for the diner, but ship in a bottle isn't bad. Venetian Houses....that looks to be my favorite of the next review.

Ship in a Bottle and Voltron !

20 dollar Scuttler. Inventory checker said there were 6. Glad to have found one.

I keep seeing that $160 price tag and I think it's 20% off. Much more complete than Silent Mary.

hey remember this turd ? lowest FBA $43.99 , 50 sellers and price climbing.

Disclaimer: This is NOT the official poster. A fan made this and it was posted on Reddit yesterday. Here is the original link in question. That being said...I'm not even sure if the official poster can exceed how AWESOME this looks, much less Luke's "come at me, bro" gesture.

I already grabbed 5 last month @ $45 ea.

Ouch. For me. Guess I sold those *way* to early.

@Kenxxx I do think those Bricktober figure packs are a good deal, especially if you can complete a set or two. I know I sold a couple of those sets for $70 - $80 on EBay.

Friendly reminder to noobs - check the seals! Went to WM yesterday to pick up two $30 scuttlers. Picked up the first and someone did a great job of using scotch tape to fix a cut seal. The other one was fine. Folks are sneaky out there.

Oooo. Old old school. Sven not Allura.

5 x Airport Air show at £24 each

I was digging the gti mkI, having owned one 18yrs ago.

Ugh. I'll fix that in a few minutes

Just as reminder, here's who is up for consideration: https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/a4ae09b6-0d4c-4307-9da8-3ee9f3d368d6

I would be happy for the tram. Probably not good seller, but should please the modular crowd. Perfect for a modular street. If I were LEGO I would market it that way, promoting it with photos in front of a row of modulars.

Me too. I keep forgetting that $159 is RRP.

ones shipped are 32R6 so original

I am holding out for the 50th anniversary edition (I hear that it puts the 30th, and 40th editions to shame).

This is going to be sold at the opening of the LEGO House.

Walmart.com The LEGO Ninjago Movie set already on sale online 70617 Temple of The Ultimate Ultimate Weapon $79.99 70615 Fire Mech $55.99 70614 Lightning Jet $47.9970612 Green Ninja Mech Dragon $39.99 70611 Water Strider $23.99 70609 Manta Ray Bomber $23.99 70608 Master Falls $23.99 70607 City Chase $15.99 70606 Spinjitzu Training $7.99

I use PayPal to print the label. There are two options for envelopes. Select 'large envelope.' The width limit for a large envelope is 3/4".

On the sticker sheet, I just noticed the coming soon movie poster for Galidor. Also the one all the way over to the left feels like a reference to "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms".

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.

Alright, short summary for all who missed that conversation: You don't know a lot about LEGO (investment/flipping) and don't care about the product. You join this community just to ask about investment potential of a specific set to save the time of your own research. You get some really helpful and patient answers. You don't like those answers because they don't go in line with your high hopes. Suddenly you are the expert telling us that rules of supply and demand won't apply to this set because it's awesome and you will do what you had in mind in the first place. Did I miss anything essential?

You still need a couple of these to build a proper building.
