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.

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

@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.

This set is everywhere. Kmart, target, Walmart, tru. I think Barnes, bam and BB have it too. Great set, over flooded. 60% off or bust.

SOLD OUT at usa shop at home. amazon.com is already 3p sellers only.

Can someone incorporate the actual Millennium Falcon image into this (actual, 2007, 2017)?

Just remember, A-Wing vs Vader sold out this time last year. It was back in full force several times.

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.

That would be trunk of his car for us Yanks.

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.

U-Wing $27 Wither $11 ×3

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??

Just finished 6753 Creator transporter. Bought for €26 (postage included) on done deal (local ad site)..main build is shy 6 parts (5 of which I have in spares). Bargain buy IMO and I expect to flip at a profit once the kids have had some fun with it

2283 Lego hero factory witch doctor. £10 in local charity shop. Instructions, box and looks full set of pieces - happy with this find. Passed on Lego technic jet plane 9394 for £15.

There´ll not be much left of that when the Irish pirates have finished with it.

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)

Ok Greg this ones For You buddy? ???

I'm glad I never went down the Bricklinking road I considered.

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

I bought and sold my TIE Striker, but I did keep the Shore Trooper for my personal collection. I just got into buying/building LEGO back this past December and it started with the Imperial Shuttle Tydirium. I have also preferred the Empire/Dark side, especially the ISD's and AT-AT/AT-ST walkers. I am primarily in the game as a builder/collector, with the occasional re-flipping of used sets/parts that I don't want for myself (you know, buy in bulk locally and resell the unwanted parts to keep the hobby going). My wife doesn't mind too much, but limits my built pieces to one small corner of one room in the house hah! I am definitely in for the new AT-ST, ISD and BB-8 for this Sep release. The March release was kind of OK to me, granted I did pick up Battle of Naboo (not built), Yoda's Star fighter (built, going to storage), Scarif (my favorite of this year), Y-Wing (built, going into storage). I do not have any of the sets from the June release, but Vader's transformation is one I might pick up as the rest are kind of meh to me. I do not care for the contractables at all. My collection consists of Star Wars (no UCS sets as of yet, but would like the R2, Death Star 2, Tantative and the ISD and SSD though), Monster Fighters (have castle, but want to add Mad Scientist, Zombies and Haunted House), Batman Movie (have all so far except the Asylum) and just started getting into Pirates of the Caribbean (have the Silent Mary and about 90% of the Black Pearl. I only plan on adding the QAR with the Mill, London Escape and Whitecap probably).

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.

44% off. 100% buy at $14. Don't even think twice. Especially if you want to MOC it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AW1R5TU/
