Going to build this while I wait to order the 75192...

I was surprised when I stumbled on these at a TRU Express. I was able to use the 15% off clearance coupon. Had to grab all of those Quad Bikes after seeing the going rate on Amazon.

Hello again from the sunshine [emoji295]️ state Florida. It's been a stressful week due to hurricane Irma my family is safe and so are my son lego collection no damages done[emoji1303][emoji1303]it's been a while since I posted so just wanted to share our latest project .my son has been asking for the 2006 ultimate collection of the bat-mobile which is no longer for sale only online and of course it's pricey so we decided to build it instead we search threw his loose extra pieces we have.we did had to order the rare pieces threw brink link and lego.com and here is our end result and it was all under $150.00 Before and after added to the collection

It warms my heart to think the LEGO is now a better investment than Gold once again. ?

Seems as if Lego needs some kind words right about now especially about this set in particular! So... Great job Lego Team ! Triple boxed and a quick delivery!

I don't want one that was made in China.

40260 Halloween Haunt

Bought the 41130 Amusement Park Roller Coaster for $48 for my daughter - on sale at Target and a using combination of gifts cards totaling $25. Can't wait to see the look on her face!

One of my BB-8s that I ordered online from Target had two popped seals. Instead of exchanging it for a new one when (and if) my local stores get replenished any time soon, I decided to crack it open and build it. I don't normally dip into my inventory because I don't display any sets and my kids have entered their dark ages, but I was bored and something about this set gave me an itch to build. I'm glad I did. This set is absolutely fantastic. The build was fun, and the detailed features look great and work very well. This set is gold, Jerry! Gold!

For that amount, it would have paid to fly over from the US and wait on line.

Yardsale $50

And that the two Lego stores I frequent both still have these on their shelves with 2015 seal codes even after discounts, double VIP and free set promos twice.

That's why I jumped on the Build and Learn freebie while I could.

Gonna build this while i wait for the falcon to arrive.

The VIP card on its own is now going for the same RRP as the bleeding set and the auction hasn´t ended. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-Millennium-falcon-75192-black-VIP-card-limited-to-100-Leicester-Square-/282653895151?hash=item41cf7c29ef:g:PcgAAOSwl75Zus4R

LEGO should be ashamed of themselves promoting such unscrupulous reselling behavior. These people get two and I can't even get one.

Arrived!!

Really absurde, as this set is a masterpiece... (I am saying that as Ninjago hater...)

A bp member mounted one as well . @Sandwraith

❤️ the quad & price?

I saw that yesterday and didn't post it here. Just more "I heard something from a Lego store employee" without proof. I wouldn't be surprised if it came true. It's common sense. After the initial wave of the herd and SW/ Lego loyalists buy these, this set will start collecting dust and go on sale. People bulked at overspending $200+ on a cool walking / remote control Rogue One AT-ACT toy last XMAS season so we can assume $800 for a Lego set is sorta comparable. Same happened with the Tumbler, many CUUSOO sets, exclusives, etc... even 10179 couldn't even pretty much be given away unless it was on-sale for 25% or better. On a diff note, I find it interesting that many folks (especially on twitter & Facebook) are surprised this set was so hard to buy and is sold-out. It was obvious this was going to happen(based on the history of 10179, the vast # of die hard AFOLs and SW fans and past popular Lego set launches). Everyone should have also foresaw Lego web site getting crushed because (by history) they either have an incompetent IT Infrastructure staff or love the PR of so saying we have so many customers that even our web site and call center can't handle it.

Avoid the Best Buy one, it was designed by Harrison Ford.

So @exciter1 should be able to buy them on demand for the next 3 years then.

i can't think of anything in the universe that would have been more predictably hyped than a new much improved UCS MF, the price of which is lower than even the lowest selling 10179. think of the thousands of people who always wanted a 10179 but it was out of their reach, a few thousand dollars. now you have this new improved one for $800!!!- its a bargain to a star wars lego fan. it is hardly surprising the response its received. we're already on page 141 of this thread. go back to the mindnumbing idle e-chit chat during the F5 hours lead up til sale time and you'll get a sense of the depth of interest in this set. my prediction is 75192 stays out of stock and unorderable until mid February. now that the horde has a whiff of the money this can bring in and people start posting how much they are selling them for, that will further fuel insatiable demand. when people can sell their spot in line for $200, it will remain difficult to obtain even when there is stock.

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.

Brothers in arms... not mine though.

They probably meant that this is their last chance to sell any.

This is what we did with the Ribba frame from ikea. Bought full matt sheets from Michaels the craft junk store and cut them to replace the ones it came with. Hot glued (yup) 2x4 bricks to it. Fits 54 figures nicely.

LEGOLAND California was selling "pre made" fidget spinners, expertly assembled by someone on staff (no joke, he designed the one that was being sold and was assembling them himself), for $6 each. I took a quick glance, went to the Pick A Brick wall and pulled the parts myself. Since they go by weight at LEGOLAND, it cost me about $5.50 to grab the parts to build 3 of them.

Unless someone decided not to queue for signing all 150 should have been signed. The ones with the 100 VIP cards are going for the most. im watching a card that's over £500 with a day to go.

I guess it paid off to wait on the line.

So it´s now worth more than 10179 after only 2 days. Has anyone been checking sold 10179 prices lately? Not a single sale this week on Ebay, just fakes.

There will always be another Double VIP event. Fake news....Seriously, who is hyping this set? A couple of hundred people on some LEGO fan sites? You have to filter out the noise. LEGO is doing this on purpose. Don't fall for the BS. Nobody knows how many were produced or if it's in such demand. If a couple of thousand were made, that doesn't go very far.

WOW!!! Three gingerbread houses for the new MF... Nice work!

For sure. I'm waiting for one of these retailers to blow them out like last year. 30% off or bust.

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.

I'm sure your situation as highlighted in the attached picture doesn't help either... I'm a LEGO collector and a big Star Wars fan, but not a Star Wars collector and I feel the same way. $800 is a lot of money for something I have nowhere to display.

Good times....

I ended up being 3rd in line getting there at 7:35 (4th guy showed up around 8 AM). Another 20 or so people were turned away before 10 am

Finished for now. Time to run! 3 circuits.

You can always order again and call them to cancel the first one if it hasn´t been sent by 1st October.....

Would be really cool to frame each box cover and have a split portrait.

Jeff's been updating the last few days. It takes some time to update everything.

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.

I just hung this last night. Handmade by myself and I love it. It is made so that a 4 stud wide plates are sunk into each row.
