Didn't buy anything but in the process of packing up for our upcoming move, I discovered a box with two sealed Haunted Houses that I forgot about. Woohoo!

Dragon from Ninjago Dragon Forge. Nicer than I expected. Some less common blue (not sure which blue is used) parts and several of the shield shaped tiles (in black). Edit* the blue I mentioned is Dark Azure.

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.

didnt see this anywhere yet 76055 for $30 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CU9X64K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501840825&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=lego+76055&dpPl=1&dpID=51PCwyj2xxL&ref=plSrch

First (low-resolution) picture of the 40263 - Christmas Town Square vignette has surfaced: Looks like a really nice addition to a Christmas town / Winter theme !

Did a big trade for some of my Prime Day glitch stuff. Got a used Black Pearl, an incomplete QAR, a sealed box of Series 14 minifigs, a used Vampyre's Castle, a 10188 Death Star with a beat up box (to build), a smooth hair Leia, a sealed blue polybag White Boba Fett, and some cash. Also some more Walmart clearance which I'll post in that thread.

$5 piggy cars? I'm always on the look out for Lego to donate to the local childrens hospital and would definitely buy some of these at $5 but can't find them. Are they in store?

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

I co-ordinate the donation on behalf of my LUG (MBLUG.org), and I draw from friends and family as well. I've been doing it for 6 years now and have a contact at children's hospital of Manitoba who let's me know what themes, gender and size of sets they are most in need of. I then drop off a couple hundred sets in the fall. Just google your local childrens hospital and they will have a donations coordinator you can work with. Sets that retail at $13 are the most popular as the kids build them on the trays in their hopsital beds, then take them home. I try my best to pick them up at 50% off throughout the year.

I just happened to be on SD forum when it first hit, got lucky before the alert went out.

Man, has this thread gone dry or is it just me? Anyhow, Kmart has started a new clearance wave, some of the sets are actually discounted pretty well, instead of the usual 5% off only. Once the extra 50% off sale hits it's gonna be a gold mine. I'll be posting a list to the Kmart clearance thread later today.

LEGO needs to simplify their greys/grays. No need for twenty versions IMO.

maybe the worker is an undercover purist AFOL secretly trying to bring back true light and dark gray. the bley colors are ugly compared to their predecessors.

Even the employees have trouble with the greys!

My CL hot streak came to an end, someone beat me to this one.

Grabbed 6 ninjago minifigures. Love the pieces in this series!

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.

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.

New LEGO Build Your Own Adventure book, DC Comics Super Heroes. It includes Green Lantern John Stewart! And a nice little mini jet. I just wish they'd offer up instructions for the builds inside. There's a few good builds that I'll have to figure out.

It's not that it's not allowed. It's more of a keyboard shortcut. You can type that abbreviation, and the board will automatically spell it out for you.

Why not get them later? When the retiring soon tag is posted? Long hold.

Don't crack.

holding my 20, won't sell any until a few years after it retires

What are most of you guys doing with 21309 if you manage to catch it? Are you stockpiling them or just quick flipping? I'm new to the LEGO investing scene and curious what the general pop is doing with these.

I was told that if you cannot use a LEGO gift card that your account is flagged for some reason. My account was flagged due to something with a return of mine from months back. CSR told me this when I mentioned I couldn't use giftcards and she removed the flag and I've been able to use LEGO gc's since.

Looks like you can generate a new unique coupon code every hour through this site.

I think it is, there's definitely been a drought. My UPS man misses me.

http://metro.co.uk/2017/08/03/lego-recalled-120000-sets-because-one-worker-packed-the-wrong-shade-of-grey-6827254/ Doh! There goes the Christmas bonus..

Want to sell one for $300 shipped? That's the one set I want the most

Large, unbagged pieces are stuffed into the boxes by humans. Or it could have been a human selecting the wrong color for the machines to pack into bags.

And Back again.

I need to watch this show

Oh HELL YEAH !!!

Amazon 21125 - MInecraft: Jungle Tree House - $27.68 (60% off)

Thanks for the heads up! I started seeing them for this price at Walmart but Amazon is better for me.

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.

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.

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.

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

On BL, three separate orders: Sold a Sorn's Scorpion 70132, $40 A WAkz Tracker 70004, $23 And a Used Mungus minifig for $10. Rise of the Chima!

Want to buy some discs? Gotta play them all! =)

Not a huge deal because the set looks good but... Let me get this straight. The Sandcrawler was an UCS set w/o the sticker plaque. Same goes for latest 10188 Take II $500 set. BB-8 isn't an UCS set but comes with the sticker plague. Ok, I'm good and totally understand TLG's logic

FBA - Minecraft The Mine - 3x $185. Scooby Doo Mystery Mansion - 2x $167. 8x Creative towers @ $85 each need to raise capital to keep up with the walmart clearance monster.

Some of the minifigures from these sets have great potential and there's already demand for certain ones. I'm targetting any of the fun packs under 50% off from here on in, particularly as I think once the cancellation becomes official the sets will be clearanced very quickly.
