Hey moderators is there a way to have tabbyboys current feeling on this set replacing the poll at the top? Haven't been on in a minute so catching up on this and for a week every other page is a post from him saying how he's going to buy 3- 1 to open, 1 to keep, and 1 to sell after retirement to help pay for the others. A few hours ago he changed that to only buying 1. Then a couple hours ago he changed that to maybe buying none. Maybe his opinion could be on the ticker on the front page?

Finished Old Fishing Store, and it went perfectly on the mantle:

Opened my store the other day and heaven forbid, got an order. I'm set up for Paypal Onsite right now, I'm assuming it works just like someone sending you money through Paypal? I have used it on the buyer end, but obviously not the seller end. Still adding parts, but happy to be on the grid.

Finished the Silent Mary last night

75182 republic fighter tank , nice little set goes well with the gunship as seen here during a pre dawn raid

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.

battle on scarif, rey's speeder are now sold out at us LEGO Shop at Home. assault on hoth has resurrected and is in backorder.

I hate people every day...Then some people surprise me and give me hope. On the missing pieces...now it really looks bad. LOL

Nah, and it would not make sense to do it either. People have the misconception that purchases with VIP points are free. No, they are not, you have already paid for those points. If you pay with those points, all it means is that you paid for the set in advance over time. Since if you buy a set from LEGO the price is this: cost of set + VIP points. With basic VIP, when you pay $20 for a set, what you actually do is that you buy a set for $19 and $1 worth of VIP points, which you can spend later. (You are actually depositing money at LEGO on which you do not earn any interest hahahha.)

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

So I took a local visit to the Lego store. Figured I'd post a few pics. Haven't had a chance to read through the thread but the Lego employee told me that essentially the new Lego VIP card will be given out with each Falcon purchase (New OR existing members) It will come with special promotions throughout the year focused primarily on Star Wars Legos. Your existing card and membership will still work. Kind of a cool concept.

Popped into the Galeria in Frankfurt city centre in between meetings whilst on a business trip. Saw this great life size moc of the Porsche 911

I agree. The finished product of the rear engine area is awful.

Who sells LEGO? I thought we were just supposed to horde it...

I'm waiting to pick this up with a discount at some point. It's just too expensive in my country to justify buying at RRP. This decision is not at all influenced by my wife.

Waiting for my neighbor to gift it to me.

I sold one last week at $175 to someone in Canada through Bricklink. Didn't want my second one selling too quickly

Bumble $3.25 x7 Batgirl $5 x5 Robin $3.50 x2 Wither $11 x2 Tie Fighter $35 x2

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.

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

it tells me u need a better resolution

I saw the box. Size is 53x46x38cms.

Yea, we're almost sold out!

Comparison

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

The teaser poster and film title were release. We should be hearing about Lego sets soon enough. For the 2015's film, Lego had the sets on display during that year's NY Toy Fair (released that May) I would expect the same treatment next year. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is set to hit theaters June 22, 2018. Jeff Goldblum is returning to the franchise as "Chaos Theory" mathematician, Dr. Ian Malcolm. https://usat.ly/2tSOlGI http://collider.com/jurassic-world-2-title-poster/ Just a minor FYI for the film staff, it should read , "Life, uh, finds a way" on the poster.

That is without question a copperhead, you're lucky you didn't lose your hand.

Thanks for the information. Most interesting about the promotions.

Not falling for that crap again. Hated last year's

So it looks like the 75192's rear is this year's version of the Cuusoo / ideas Back to the Future DeLorean's hood.

My wife and her sister were screaming out front this morning about a snake. Brown snake with a yellow tail. I went out and picked it up telling them it was harmless. It was chill so I scared them with it for a minute and let it go in my bushes. Now I'm looking online and thinking I picked up a copperhead. Feeling pretty dumb and afraid to let the cat out until i check those bushes

I buy it if there is going to be a good promo with it. Otherwise wait for a discount. I have neither time or space to build these at the moment.

Those Czech sets have disappeared - for now. Still several Euro sellers on BL but just one USD listing left at 200$!

October is probably your best bet.

I have $1800 in VIP points. Going to pick up 2 use enough to pay for one.

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.

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.

I think we play the game somewhat similar although, you buy way more than I do Regardless, i'd say right now is the time to go ****** those sets that are at least in great shape on the shelf. I see amazon even has some sets discounted that are almost near 30 to 40% off. One thing I've learned over the years is that come november, most of the pristine boxes are gone by then. And when I sell beat up boxes, people tend to complain, so I don't do that anymore. I definitely just scribbled out my top 10 list of Star Wars sets to buy right now... Now it's time to make the rounds.

I've got $500 in LEGO VIP points banked up.......decisions, decisions.

I think Hans Burkhard Schlömer's comment on brickset leaves little room for speculation:

Brickfanatics going out on a limb. http://www.brickfanatics.co.uk/lego-star-wars-rogue-one-sets-retiring-soon/

I'm down for both, when the price is right.

Kids love BB8 and more than a few adults too. It´s the only desirable set that isn´t a rehash and the price point and play features are attractive.
