It came in a box?

Target app let me order/ship these: #76080 GOTG Ayesha's Revenge @ $19.19 (-36%) #76079 GOTG Ravager Attack @ $13.60 (-31%)

You just need to pray the winner is not a 0 feedback user from North Korea.

Yes. When they pack it & place the air pillows in & it clearly doesn't fit, they then push down the box, damaging the item as they close it. Seal it & send it on its way. It's happened more than once to me.

Wife built this little guy.

I prefer packing paper over the pillows. The paper can give before the box does; the pillows, when overstuffed, clobber the poor box.

So I decided to make my own MOC of the falcon because I couldn't wait.... Sending it to Lego Ideas for the 10 year remake of this one....

Even so. You just gave up a career of salary in addition to Early Access to Lego sets for the rest of your life in addition to whatever discounts they receive. Is that all worth a screenshot? Hell no. Lol But he obviously forgot to omit the store ID so I guess his intelligence is suspect anyways. LOL

Farging Iceholes!

Bastages!

For me they should have changed the design of that rear section completely with the modern building techniques available. This guy nailed the rear..... giggity giggity

I don't understand all this hate for the Falcon's rear end. It's no worse than on 10179, and arguably the blue tubes are a better representation of the actual engines from the movies. 10179 rear 75192 rear (photo taken by @jstodda earlier in this thread) Rear of Falcon from SW: A New Hope Rear of Falcon from SW: The Force Awakens

Gone, like this!

Part of 10179's value, IMO, was the idea that TLG was unlikely to ever make something like that again. People made the decision to shell out for a collectible and conversation piece (There's a winery/brewery near me that has the MF and SSD displayed in the tasting room. Never fails to get comments). Now that people know that TLG can or will redo sets, it will be interesting to see the value of 75192 in 5 to 7 years when the rumors begin again. If an AFOL misses out on it this time (even assuming that the window closes), will they be willing to be that person who bought it for $5000 in 2022 when they might get another chance for the 50th anniversary? I'm still planning on trying to get at least one to hold long-term, but I don't expect a repeat of 10179's performance.

A LEGO store retail associate or low level manager is not exactly a high-paying gig.

MF'17, Long term investment? hum. This is a very long term hold prospect. I would say minimum 5 year hold to see any kind of major profit. Of course, holiday flips are always great and will sell if priced accordingly. The UCS 10179 climbed higher and higher...but the minute the rumors started about the '17 version the (reseller) price started the fall. In the past three months alone, the average price for 10179 has fallen from $4500 to $2500. This is expected. Why would anyone pay $2500 or more for a "NEW" set that is going to sell for $800? Lego will make it again. Maybe again, in 2027 we see the 3rd version and the same cycle will repeat it self. In the end, If you have money to invest in multiple sets (like I do) and are ok having $800+ sitting in a corner...then by all means do it. Good luck, Invest wisely & happy building.

Lucky you because that SW promo explicitly excluded LEGO ....

Pet Shop built and added to the collection. Town Hall up next.

I didn't order a single thing from lego.com this time around. Just got a AOH off the zon' . . . . I did want the minifigure, but it was gone after the first day so I didn't move quick enough. I was too busy running around scarfing up black series and hot wheels for my son... Unfortunately, a lot of the new lego sets took a "meh" tone with him. And of course I felt a bit the same way. Regardless, the sale was pretty telling in which sets are going, and which ones will stick around.

everything that was sold out or c2c at LEGO Shop at Home is now back to backordered.

Yes. They ship out the good boxes first and end with the worst box conditions. So we should see retirement in a month.

This set immediately caught my eye when the first pictures were leaked. After I saw Jang's review video I'm even more positive about this set. But ... as Jang mentions as well, this set is overpriced. So I'm going to wait this out till I can get it at a good discount. 40% off should be attainable by waiting for the right promo/discount to come along.

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

Hopped in @exciter1's time machine to grab some Ekimu the Mask Makers. When I returned to the present I also grabbed a bunch of Pumpkin's Carriages for $2 and $9 Yoda's Starfighters.

Pretty much. ☺️ To be clear, I'm not saying the rear end couldn't be improved. It obviously can be, as various MOCs show. I just think the criticism of the design change is somewhat excessive.

Generally anything over 18 units per sku will go to a distribution center (but this can vary quite alot depending on the algorithm). When you make a shipment before you confirm it you will see what centers amazon has chosen. You can look those up to see if they are fulfillment (your items go live as soon as they are checked in) or distribution (your items go backordered for 1-5 days). After a few hundred shipments you will learn which centers are which straight away, and which ones to avoid.

As others have mentioned toys see a nice big bump. Please keep in mind (and prepare for somewhat) that Amazon likes to change rules and restrictions regularly, especially regarding the selling of toys around xmas time. I would not send your whole stack to amazon fba right now incase something goes down with either the entire toy category or just the Lego brand on the amazon platform. Once we get indication nothing crazy is going to change this year with the toy category then I would plan on sending in steadily to many different fulfillment centers throughout the season rather than a few big shipments to distribution centers. Keep in mind the very strong trend on the Amazon platform has been brands outsourcing protection to third party companies who love to send IP infringement notices to anyone who is not an authorized reseller (and none of us are for the Lego brand). Xmas time is a great time to build up or rebuild an ebay selling account. Better safe than sorry.

I live in a higher altitude. Half of my boxes look like football's by the time they get to me. When I see an engorged box...I cringe!

Well it did say confidential so yeah. It's no wonder he got fired. And it's a perfectly good reason to get fired.

Leftover R3-M2 minifigs were piled high at TRU.

What was the error in that? $70 is a fairly typical KMart price after coupons and sweeps points

Was also in Vienna (SCS) over the weekend. Quite a few around the store, but with 27S7 seals. Seems that Austrians don't think €115 each is worth paying!

Is there an actual time that VIP preorder starts?

Price drop. None of my stores are closing.

Quietly the best deal on LEGO Shop at Home. Still $245, double VIP, and currently 3 different freebies offered.

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

Figured it out, I didn't have the box checked for that to show up. Got it now. Thanks.

My store here in NC, USA said they expected 4 or 5 on Sep 14... more coming later. (That makes me think they'll actually have 10 or 15)

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

I'm seeing $99.49 on Amazon for the buy-box (FBA) main listing. Definitely looking good so far.

Found at Walmart. $3.97.

GSP has really been one of the few positive things eBay has done over the past few years. Lately, I've been selling significantly more through GSP than domestic sales with no issues whatsoever with my transactions.

Here's the first picture I've seen of the other winter vignette set. Looks pretty nice.

And then the mind starts spinning...
