Now they only have 1399 more people to ax..

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:

Yup....but that's why we're all in this crazy game...cause it's fun and and besides I've already started...and now we have the correct canopy piece to get the job done right? I'll post a pic and save it in my profile at completion... also working on Mirko sopelsa's u-wing

Had the same issue on 18 Feb from Ferenc Cseki of Hungary. Sold him Lego 42043 Technic MERCEDES-BENZ AROCS. About 90 days latter when the page disappears from ebay, I got the Unauthorised Claim. Sooo relieved when I saw it was Unauthorised. Sent PayPal the tracking info (sold through GSP on eBay) and eventually got my money back. Seller Protection cos shipped as directed. I think Paypal might be out of pocket in this case as it looks like Paypal were still fighting the case against the bank and the update said someone like cant fight it any longer. SO END TRACKING INFO and you will get money back within a month. Looked at my scammers ebay username history and he's changed it every year for the last three years....serial scammer possibly? Back to topic. Not bought any Saturns as waiting for the big discount.

Yeah, I've used Sendle 30 odd times over the last year or so and found them generally pretty good. A couple of recipients in the Canberra area haven't been impressed with their local agent though.

Leftover R3-M2 minifigs were piled high at TRU.

I'll just leave this here. http://www.mirror.co.uk/money/its-ultimate-lego-star-wars-11116390

Yeah I tried the Target promo this week and it wouldn't let me buy the AT-M6 set with it

That seems about right... :/

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!

Buy $800 worth of small sets from 2016. Sell in 2018. Rinse, repeat until signs of 75192 retiring start popping up. Then buy 75192.

People on here like to moan and moan and moan about a lack of original vehicles and then we get one & nothing. Jangs video sold it to me. This is a stunning set and I reckon will have a significant role in the film. I'll definitely buy one to build, but will wait until the price drops a bit.

Price drop. None of my stores are closing.

I would honestly pass on all of those.

They don't do that in Texas... [emoji379][emoji379][emoji379][emoji95][emoji95][emoji95] Lol

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

Finished the Silent Mary last night

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

I supported it

I see you still need to be converted to the AFOD view of things.

Because this doesn't address any target audiences, do you really see parents sitting there going, you know what I really need, more elaborate Duplo. No wait, there's a name for that, what is it it, more elaborate Duplo, hmmmm, it's on the tip of my tongue, oh I remember, it's called Lego.

So updates to the 2018 line (credit to EB for the info): The LEGO Batman Movie Minifigure Series 2: Hugo Strange Black Canary Killer Moth Clock King General Zod Jor-El Zan (possibly with Gleek?)

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

Night Lord's Castle BASED ON 6097 Night Lord's Castle

6248 Volcano Island Redux by 74louloute BASED ON 6248 Volcano Island

(6265) Sabre Island by Letranger Absurde

I'm thinking 2-3 years. Unless there's another castle in the upcoming frozen 2 this set will be the big one to get among the Frozen line. It's been in and out of stock most of its short life and still in high demand.
