Comparison

LEGO could have taken care of all of this nonsense with a "First Edition" set. The first 10,000 (or whatever) made would have special markings and would sell worldwide...in store and online. VIP cards and mystery sets and other BS giveaways that some get and others don't are a waste of time. If they really were smart, they would have made this first run of sets uber desirable. The buzz would have been tremendous. Many will now wait for deals...and they will come...trust me. After the initial contrived shortages to stir up interest on LEGO forums, there will be plenty to be had by everyone.

Found a TMNT Lair for $10 at WM. Box beat to hell. All was there and my 4 yo was ecstatic.

These models were shipped assembled/glued from LEGO to all LBR stores in the US for display. Either your store is extremely unlucky or your store's manager is a dumbass and misread the instructions from corporate and is still hiding it in the back.

I had one at New Years, but it fell through.

Yea, we're almost sold out!

it tells me u need a better resolution

No luck for me :-( but a nice consolation prize!

That actually helped me. 2017 looks much nicer when compared.

It's amazing how many ideas come out for what could have been done with this set. It's great that they added all this detail, but yes, they should have taken it that extra step and invested in the box, lighting, who knows maybe some motorized features. Stuff that dreams are made of. Yes I love it, but for $800, it could have still been better. Maybe in 10 years.

14 sets to be exact..... I drive between Monterrey and San antonio quite often.... I just adjusted work to get there on Thursday night ( had to pick the Saturn that day) , and be early Friday in the store for Force Day..... I took the family and had a good time in the Store friday..... they had Star Wars characters.... A Scarif Stormtrooper and an astromech , a black one, I do not know the name of it.... really cool...

Ed?... cause when you are at the bar and conveniently mistake your Star Wars VIP black card for your Metal American Express card .. and go "OopS!" you'll have unleashed the biggest Chick magnet Ever and They Will Bow and a round of applause and looks of Envy...... ??Naww you're right ...probably get a wedgie instead.... ???

What's a "Special Edition" VIP card worth? Nothing, because it will have you name on it. LOL.

from past experience a lot of lego store employees don't know *anything* Anything

LOL, the first thing i thought of after watching the time lapse is that even a 350k piece set comes with friggin stickers!

Carbon Freeze has been 3rd party for 2 months, still 100+ selllers

My Lego store handed me those "exclusive" posters with purchase for just staring at the display. Rep came up to me and was like do you want yesterday and today's poster so you can go home and stare.... LOL.... rude

I got your LED for ya. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-4-ft-led-tape-light/5777900.p?skuId=5777900#spoke/reviews

Finally got ahold of my most wanted set, now I can get to work on my Halloween display with HH, VC, all Scooby sets, and the Simpsons house going to make a cul du sac with them full of trick or treaters (every minifig I have that looks like a costume) PS: if you need two Chima clocks still in box, I've got a deal for you.

TLNM minifig set with the 2 for $5 at TRU.

God's strength

I was working on a new book "LEGO Investing For Dummies" I have decided to change the title to "LEGO Investing Is For Dummies"

As George once said. "I'm going down with the ship." I bought a very nice used 1st edition 10179 a few years ago for $2500 because I had to have it. I'll wait to buy the 75192 at a discount or 2x VIP. When bought it will look great next to the 10179 whenever I get around to building either of them.

First time post here! There were about 6 of these at the Mission Viejo Lego store in SoCal. Went to get a Slave 1 and saw them... had to grab one! Had my pick of the litter

In the last 5 years or so, I honestly cant remember buying anything from the Lego Store without some sort of discount, double VIP points, and/or free gift. I really don't want to start now, especially with the most expensive set ever. After seeing the set displayed in store this morning some of the mystique of all this hype has worn off for me. Unless there's something special for launch-day or they make the first run numbered or similar, I may just wait out until the discounts/deals become available. Right now I have a long list of sets to purchase and a backlog of sets to built. I haven't even picked up the Snowspeeder yet! But.....I really do want this set. Even my wife wants me to buy it for "our collection". I've come close on two separate occasions to picking up a 10179 recently.

I like hearing it will be triple boxed when shipped. A promo would have been nice to sell and soften the blow on price.

The metal American Express card is pretty awesome. Weighs a pound or so...LOL

Got rid all 5-6 of mine and lost about $10-$15 each on investment. Better off lose some now and use the cash flow to invest in other better potential sets. This ToO set is finished. Not even worth the time waiting for it for go up $20 in a few years.

@KShineThis might help. https://www.brickhello.com/single-post/2017/08/31/UCS-Millennium-Falcon-2007-vs-2017 No Black VIP cards for EU confirmed. No extra set with Millennium (escape slug) confirmed EU.

Came across this and was wondering when we'll be getting a UCS Ferrari F1 car. Or perhaps one on the same scale as the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Although my wife already says my LEGO are taking up too much space if I had this I'd willingly park it outside. Anyone else? http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a28013/this-life-size-ferrari-formula-one-car-is-made-of-350000-lego-bricks/ LEGO Speed Champions - Scuderia Ferrari SF16-H 75879 BTW, on the popular mechanic's page, there is a similar life-sized build for the McLaren 720S.

17.49 online at target. With red card get three for $50 or so.

Have to say the little r2d2 set 30611 was really satisfying to build. never built the one I got for May 4th, but decided to build this one. I know it's small but I was really inlressed, clever design and really fun.

Saturn V on amazon for msrp

I agree, that box costs $3.00 usd.... imagine what they could come up to with a $5.00 dollar box......

Here's a flyer being given out with buys over Force Friday.

Ya know....that would make total sense to re-release the "Space slug" collectors set with the 75192 release as a "freebie" with purchase. time will tell but great observation if I had a wish list of freebies with this set, that be one of them plus an exclusive "Jedi master luke" poly bag exclusive figure added to the mix....heck if were payn $800 large ?Why not??

Problem is getting it back stab free

I usually put a bit of dish soap in the brick bath too, but this is dead on the money.

This showed up today.

Finished Mirko's U-Wing. I think this rivals the Nebulon.

This thing is going nowhere... at rocket speed.

"Missing sticker" "lost manual" "few pieces fell off" (let me guess, the expensive ones) "missing two figs" ..... this thing screams BrickLinked, no matter that they claim "authentic bought in the store".

75098 - Star Wars: Assault on Hoth - $199.99 (20% off)

Doom's day scenario, I was waiting for a moment when he will mention being imprisoned in Guantanamo for posting review of broadly available Lego Set. even if he would be sued this trail wouldn't take more than 2 or 3 sessions. it's entirely TRU and Wallmart + Lego problem. Not Jang. he is as soft as pillow. Other you tubers doesn't give a flying f whatever this "consulting company" is sending to everyone with those legal demands.

I'd say it differently: Everyone agreed that the MMachine was the most recognizable, and the MMansion had the rare characters. So everyone jumped on those. Again, the set that nobody talks about is the one to invest in. I had 4, originally bought for part-out purposes, sold them a while ago. Found one more last week at KMart, already up on FBA

The last one lasted 4 years with zero movies to support it. I think this one continues on. There will always be a $100ish falcon on the market, be silly not to have one. Timmy will see the UCS in the window of the Lego store and settle for the 75105 which will seem huge once it's home. Mom & Dad will be shocked by the $800 price of the UCS and then be happy to pay $150 for the alternative. Everyone wins.

that video showing the head bobble made me so happy for this set.

Here we go.
