After driving 600 miles back and forth, and getting to the lego store at 6.05 in the Morning to get the 7th ticket out of 8, I present you the FIRST 75192 Star Wars UCS Millenium Falcon, that makes it back to the land were it was made... Monterrey, México ?? !!!

Bag one complete. This is gonna take me a loooooong time to build. I'm lucky if I get through one numbered bag a night.

Someone posted a pic of 4 Falcons stacked in a corner on LEGO's Facebook page claiming that he'd be selling them when they're retired for 8 times the purchase price. Should someone tell him?

There are a couple Sandcrawlers @ AWD $237 for Very Good and $251 for Like New https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00JZMYOOC/ref=sr_1_7_olp?s=merchant&ie=UTF8&qid=1505484939&sr=1-7&condition=used

The only part of that sentence I understand is sold for 300$ last week.

disagree. there have been plenty of flash >50% off amazon sales all summer long i've gotten because of max profit posts. max profit is a slightly different version then the running header that used to be at the top of the daily deals thread. and at least max profit is always posting on topic in the daily deals thread.

Probably this first MOC I've created myself. This is the base for my first plate to my Winter Village. It's ice skating pond. The next plate will contact to the top, and will be a frozen stream with a bridge over it.

LEGO can barely run one site and you want them to try a 2nd??

70751 Temple of Airjitzu now retired at US SAH. https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Temple-of-Airjitzu-70751 People seemed to miss that with all the UCS falcon shenanigans.

Well, my call to Customer Service paid off (I was frustrated, but very nice to the guy, I figured his day was going pretty bad regardless). After receiving the cancellation email yesterday morning due to payment error, Brian in CS was very helpful and said the system was crazy all morning and he was sure it was an error on their part (it was - I used the same shipping address and credit card I have used for years). Went into "In Warehouse" status yesterday afternoon and just received a shipment email with tracking (fingers crossed). New plan: finish selling last three Gingerbread Houses on FBA to cover full cost of MiLF. Sold one already for $219.

who?

Kmart $29 for all 3. Combining them together should be pretty cool.

People make a big deal about Max Profit. It can be ignored. The reason it stays here is because 500+ users follow this thread. If I remove it from here, then I have to tell hundreds of people to go elsewhere when this is the deals thread. It's not going anywhere, so ignore it and then don't complain about it. Those that are complaining about it are making more of a mess of this thread than Max Profit is. The script runs every 3 hours. Removes all previous posts and just leaves the latest and greatest (1 single post). For each of those that complain, there are plenty of others that send a PM, email, Facebook message that say..."thanks" Max Profit will be improving and also be integrated into other features that may eventually replace this part here. So have patience. Maybe one day some of you will find use for him, but for now, do what works for you, ignore him and have a happy day. This is the end. If you want to PM me about it fine, but don't waste anymore time here in this thread.

As a business owner for 25 years, you want to always appear busy. Who wants to go to a business that is never busy? People assume there is an issue, poor service or price problem. Perception is everything. You want to be the business that people say..."Hey, that place is always busy!" Apple stores are the best example of this. Eighty Apple employees make every store look busy....LOL

I agree. This is the ultimate "showcase" set and will be an excellent marketing tool for LEGO. As for the demand for this set, nobody really knows except for The LEGO Group. It's hard to judge demand off of a few uber LEGO fan sites. LEGO's constant supply and website issues are either pathetic or planned. I don't think it really matters either way. This is a statement set and even if it loses money, it's a winner for LEGO.

Pah. I have nowhere to put the box, much less anywhere to build it or display it. But I still bought the set. ?

We heard similar arguments to the green box at-te . I was buying at $50 and folks thought that was too high .

If it were the latter, they would have a functional website AND inventory control. They can generate the same buzz without turning people off because they refuse to come into the 21st century with regards to server infrastructure.

It´s like a French bulldog. So ugly you have to love it.

i wouldn't want to be those sellers when this thing comes back in-stock at MSRP. buyers get 60 or 90 days to file a INAD

Jang review up.

Never ever label a lot with older Winter Village sets and a 10197 as "Winter crap" .. grrrrr

Nah.....I does not beat the rush of getting it.....half the fun is the hunt........ Also the wife enjoys shopping in San Antonio......

Some highlights before the storm. BrickLink 2x Snow globes @ $29 each 1x cmf17 elf girl @ $4 2x Storm trooper minifigs @ $3.59 each 5x Wonder Woman Dimm minifigs @ $7 each 30315 space poly @ $5.49 30446 bay mobile polys at $5.75 30447 cpt America polys at $5.50 30448 Symbiate polys at $7.20 3x Skull Warriors @ $8.32 each Arias creative workshop @ $10.99 Artic helicrane $40 10680 garbage truck $24 Bulldozers @ $30 76059 Doc Oct $29.69 Someone in the shelving thread gave me a hard time about buying 9x 60118 Garbage trucks for $15 back in January. They sat on my plastic shelves for 8 months and sold them all at $29 a piece. And I'm still here =)

Mine shipped this afternoon. Lego was quick. It's a big boy : 28.4 lbs and 23x20x17 my 10179 weighed about 25 pounds shipped.

Just got an email that mine has shipped????

Not really sure where this came from, I'm trying to find out but it's an official image of the Braces Girl coming in the set

My haul from last night at LS!

Definitely YMMV and more for a supplies thread. One local Walmart had Duck Brand Bubble Wrap on clearance yesterday: Duck Brand Original Extra Wide Bubble Wrap, 24" x 150', Clear UPC: 075353148273

I gave an open box 8289 Technic Firetruck to a friend who loves the Technic sets. . I wasn't sure if all the bags were there though. I guess they were as he just sent me a picture. Yes, he needs to work on the cable issue.

Finished for now. Time to run! 3 circuits.

My daughter used her Irma-induced day off of school to finish up her 41130 Friends Amusement Park Roller Coaster. Her Friends mini-city is now complete with hotel, houses, sports park, all the amusement sets, and several other random things (like the news van and an entire jungle section...ha!). She really likes the amusement park, but of course wishes the roller coaster was motorized.

This is not uncommon. Usually only slow sellers/overstocked sets are hit with the retiring soon tag. It's a gimmick to move them.

I had a bunch of posters and brochures stuffed into my goodie bag with my purchase of the Millennium Falcon - once I realized how much they were selling for I flipped all of them on eBay to subsidize the cost of the falcon!

Wondering about this. We have seen a peak, similar to selling concert tickets. IF you are able and willing to spend 800 dollars/Euro's then you probably have no reason to wait any longer given the situation with the old set. I wonder how many AFOLs want this set and did not try to get it yet, and how many tried and failed. The fact that a few idiots are willing to spend an insane amount on this set on ebay is not really relevant. Then the question is whether this set will remain hot once everybody realises that it is not that exclusive, despite its price. It is of course eye-catching because of its size, but it is a grey a piece of junk by nature, and people are going to wonder where to put it. Possibly even when it is discounted. And that last question is going to hunt them even more for every new set of this size. iPhones do not have this problem. And then we should compare that to the number of kids that get some more affordable set to play with, once in a while or regularly.

Usually for exceeding the limits of a single item by placing multiple orders. But sometimes because LEGO is stupid and decides you're a reseller based on your order history (sometimes they get it right tho ).

As a fan of the show, this is the best Rebels set out there.... even if its lacking in the minifig department.

I hope they also got the message that they would sell even more sets and have happier fans if they had an online sales and distribution system that did its job properly.

eBay bucks 8% Buy or Sale no minimum. Ends Sept 17th 11:59 PM Post those 75192 !!!

At this rate they'll hit the 20,000 cut off for the VIP cards in no time. Lego HQ tonight ...

For those of us that are fans of the other VIP set to come out today...

So, we hear ya, we got it. Points have been made, and we're taking them under consideration. Thank you for your feedback, as it really is appreciated. Let's get back to finding those Daily Deals now.

Yes.

Here´s a video of what´s inside the house. Some seriously detailed displays and a proper volcano for the City exploration vehicles.
