After the unfortunate recent events in Texas and Louisiana with Hurricane Harvey, I just want to let Brickpickers who live in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina know that we are thinking about them. I know our thoughts mean very little in the grand scheme of things, but get the Hell out of danger. You can always replace a LEGO set or TV...You cannot replace yourself. I am praying for you. Be safe and let that witch go out to sea... Ed and Jeff.

My wife was eying an Apple Watch, I told her to grab one . when a big ass box shows up at my door, we would just call it even .

75191: https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=125641406&irgwc=1&iradidTRU=221295&camp=aff:TRU:29332:FlexOffers.com%2C LLC&irpidTRU=29332 Has this been 30% off for long? Combined with discounted GC would be pretty good deal.

Let's be honest, when you've got: You have Chima sets still on the shelf, that have been retired for 2+ years, and they're still marked above RRP, You don't automatically PM your website (and PM'ing negates coupons and other discounts), You jack up the prices above RRP so that your sales aren't really sales, You have so many exclusions on your coupons, that you need a magnifying glass to read them, Your jacked up prices cause people to just go to the other big box store (Target, Walmart) that sells LEGO in the same shopping center ...you're gonna have trouble staying in business.

Thanks for creating a feed! Many of my loved ones are in the NC,SC, and FL area. A few tips if you live in the many expected flood zones. Your dishwasher is like a "flood safe". You can save things you have to leave behind like pictures,small safes, sentimental items, and of course important documents etc. It is waterproof and secure. Also if you are expecting a power outage (which I would) and are staying, your washing machine makes a great fridge. Fill with bottled water, drinks (whatever you need refrigerated.) top with ice. Keep the lid closed. Should keep you good for a couple of days and the water simply runs out.

The only reason I would waste my time waiting on line at the mall would be to get that cool box. My wife will probably want to toss it in the recyclables.

Stumbled across one at my local B&N while browsing the 75% off clearance. With my 10% membership discount, I was quite happy with the find.

Me too, but I just like to complain about how much lower I sold the item compared to its current price

Guess which one each of you guys is

I have two left after unloading a few during a eBay bucks deal. I'm going to build one and save the other to point and laugh at.

It's always a good sign when lego feels the need to alert people.

Are you not leaving everything alone, so leaving Star Wars alone would be a given?

Saw it today and the kids were in love. It is amazing! Think I could take out a small auto loan?

Another personal purchase: All 3 Advent Calendars for $45.71 total (54% off) plus $15 in bonus SYW points from KMart/Sears. Needed some serious SYW magic, but in 2 orders, using a $5 off $35, a $10 off $50, a $10 back on $10 and a $5 back on $20, with $35 in Sweeps winnings did the trick. 6% discounted GC gave the final few dollars of savings.

SSD is too niche and small scale. ISD has a much higher chance to be remade, and I would actually welcome that. Remakes should be done really sparingly, but ISD, Falcon and X-Wing are those I can forgive, since the number of ships so iconic is limited. No matter how creative you are if the movie limits you. Toy Shop, on the other hand, was not limited by its own universe. It was genuine laziness. And I share the same idea for obscure SW ships. There are enough of those so remakes are not needed. If I were LEGO I would release here and there some obscure stuff never to be remade, but make the staples available regularly for average AFOLs. And if they ever remake any modular ... well, that would be their worst decision to date.

I love the line .. "by a real LEGO designer." Does that mean someone who doesn't just tweak remakes? Or perhaps someone who doesn't comb the web looking for AFOL designs to rip off? Might have made more sense to say "one of the MF designers."

This thing is already hoarded. Stick a fork in it.

Gloom and doom!

Last time I tried ordering online for something like this hype(42056)...i ordered it at 21:01 am (live at 12:00am)....and didn't see the set for 3 months.... meanwhile...people had gone to the lego store grabbed multiples and sold online ...eBay and amazon you sound Like the the guy from "planes trains and automobiles" that tells Steye Martin,??"hey...why don't you Take the airline to get home for thanksGiving!".....it's comfy and you get a free Meal! ..after that it just get ugly???

(6494) Magic Mountain Time Lab remake by Anton Sundström

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

Looks like a "no selections" review to me.

With the tears of those who never find deals like this?

Great ideas...

Hope no-one on BP is affected, living through a natural disaster is terrible, it really puts life into perspective and is a stark reminder to the things we should all try not to take for granted (family / friends / health / a home).

Well I need at least 13 to display the rockets that actually flew.

If not 2018, then probably 2019, if not then, probably 2020, if not then...

Stacking with Truth and gift cards today. Thanks! 75175 - A-wing Starfighter is also 30% off at $30.09

2015 seems galaxies far away now. 7965 also sold out and retired in 2014, contributing nicely to the pension fund. That was long before the clone and knock off wars started. Times have changed since then and 75105 has been at 30% off on Amazon all year and down to 30 quid at Tesco. We have to see if there is a spike in interest in old SW sets for TLJ but I am prepared for the worst just in case.

Arrived in the mail yesterday: 70618 Destiny's Bounty, bought at Amazon UK for 100 GBP which converted to €115 including shipping. Nice discount compared to Dutch RRP of €170 !

Well, some decent sales might provide them some cash to pay down their debt.

This cute little genius has made someone very excited!

This is not how it works anymore. Last few years everything has moved to JIT production. There may be an initial estimate of demand as well as a general duration slot. But every set is continuously reevaluated now. If it's still selling they make more. Look at the VW Camper Van. Should have retired 4 years ago...

So basically the 75192 uses a plus 20 piece count the 10179 uses 324 piece engine build..... but marshals rear engine design is absolutely incredible...what would you say?....over 1000 pieces?(rear engine only)Totally for that build? is it worth it? I say...Oooooo yeah!!!??totally nailed! Ive decided....I'm building that beast-lol ....darned if I'm gonna let the ucs hoth assault designer guy tell me what to display in MY office-?

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.

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

Wife built this little guy.

Now they only have 1399 more people to ax..

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

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

In that one catalogue that leaked, it showed 5 sets coming for the Han Solo movie. There's also 4 more sets coming for the Last Jedi on 1/1/2018 for the winter wave. I also read where "Solo Friday" or whatever they are calling it is on 4/20. So, after this winter wave, that's the next thing to look forward to until the Summer 2018 waves, which I assume will have the traditional 5 or 6 sets that will probably book end both the Han Solo and Last Jedi films. I'm going to assume we won't see many more Force Awakens or Rogue One sets...although it would be nice to at least get a Saw Gerrera mini to finish off Rogue One. It's also disappointing we didn't get anything related to Darth Vaders slaughtering of Fleet Troopers as they escaped on the Tantive IV (in fact, I'm shocked the Tantive IV wasn't in the Rogue One waves). That would have made for a great set highlighting the best scene in the movie.

If they really push the boat out which means replacing magnet system, including an interior and also including a lot more detail, this could be a huge upgrade to a classic which is looking quite dated based on modern techniques. Something similar to rashkolnikov's recently released 15,000 piece MOC of the ISD aggressor.

I'm still waiting on a large UCS-scale set of the Petranaki Arena/Battle of Geonosis from Episode 2. I don't get it why one's not been made yet . So much playability and display value. And we keep getting remakes and skipping one of the biggest scenes from the prequel trilogy. And nobody even talks about it as a set. Something similar to this would work.

UCS Batmobile 7784 off of Cl for $50. Score!
