When I somehow still don't have one (or ten) then something is definitely wrong with a release.

Here's my next Batman minifigure display. I wanted to display the Batman figs together, so I found inspiration in some images of Wayne Tower. Originally, I was going to only put the Batman figs on the display, but I needed more height on the display to make it look like a tower, so I added the Robin minifigures. The display should have all variants of Batman and Robin minifigures except the SDCC minifigures. My apologies for the glare on the figs...enjoy!

And that´s why investing in Lego is not as profitable as it used to be!

@belljohn did an awesome job on this video.

40,000 people looking to buy this set that morning...NO WAY. A couple of thousand...I'll give you. There a couple of hundred active posters on here and Brickset and Eurobricks, etc...bitching they couldn't get one. Don't let a few active threads give the impression of such a demand. LEGO wants you to think this set is in such demand. If LEGO had enough Falcons to satisfy everyone, nobody would be talking about it. Been there, done that...

Jang should review at least one of the 2 UCS MF sets as he's done zero so far. as others have stated, reviewing 75192 for his youtube channel must not be worth the time, mental state and energy . i'm sure he'll end up reviewing 75192 sooner than later. TLG does give you and @Jeff Mack two things. headaches and the occasional e-mail.

Hey I had to rearrange my family's whole morning just to get there at 7:30 AM and I get that kind of special dispensation maybe only once or twice a year!

i work at a top 50 fortune company that have insane monthly, quarterly and super-sized end of year batch data loads. i manage the dept. that makes sure we are properly scaled in non-prod to predict prod load handling during busy times w/ our 3rd party vendor installed in our system. we started using AWS in-addition to our existing in-house hardware. i even brought in Exadata 6 years ago which was costly but more than made up for perf issues w/ the vendor's software on the 10 app server mode cluster (we started w/ 4 app server nodes) bottom line is that like me, IT dept leaders at places such as amazon, netflix, ebay, comcast xfinity, and walmart learned to scale properly. while it's technical, that's also a method of the "crazy made scientist" madness for making decisions on when and how to scale. when the ACA website opened shop, they learned the hard way. well, the lego, hbo-go and ticketmaster web sites still function like the old ACA one which itsself looked like in was built in 2005. there's no excuse for poor performance just like poor security. only diff is you can blame performance and inability to take orders on your tons of customers and excellent products. can't use that excuse when it comes security as that's a diff beast. thus, i think honestly lego wanted to brag about 75192 being so popular, consumers overwhelmed the web site and then imply their web site is strong enough to handle it but couldn't due to way too much 75192 demand,

most informative post of the last 30 pages.

This is what I done.... I went with the Video idea of an internal Frame.... Works great, but kind of expensive.... around $75 per Frame..... but the results are worth it... you be the Judge.

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

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.

Do yourself a favor and get it graded... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj_7J_sjK3WAhVl4IMKHQChBPgQFggoMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcgagrading.com%2Ftoygrader%2F&usg=AFQjCNFwxc0yCyQ2-WJ4O6Q1AJeG1xL8Yw This could help protect your values.

Sometimes a sold value does not mean much, could just be a non paying bidder.

You all know my story, 600 miles round trip, got there 6.05 AM, number 7 in line out of 8 Available...... ( number 1 and 2 Slept at the parking lot and got into the mall at 5.00 am)

@jonnyhanukkah smug b_stard!

At my local store, there were also Y-wings for $38, Scarrif for $28 and many others marked as sale, not clearance.

An assortment of video reviews. Take your pick.

pure calculation. the $$$ he will potentialy get from ads and viewers won't cover the costs of the original purchase, it's not even about hobby or lack of space, pure calculation from him. I respect his decision because he is probably the only one reviewer with that audience who is not getting paid for reviews so he has still full independence in his thoughts.

Ordered mine from LEGO Shop at Home on Thursday and it shipped Friday. Hopefully I will have it early this week.

Good for JANG. He is my go to reviewer on sets and while I would love to hear what he thinks of it, I totally understand his reasons for not reviewing it. Too large of a buy in for a set he has no space for display or interest in. I'm surprised LEGO never sends review copies his way. Doesn't seem like they do that for a lot of youtubers.

Considering there are 5 thread pages devoted to people giving blow-by-blow coverage of their F5ing on SAH web, I doubt it!

The brand name will likely be sold to a Chinese concern who will change the business model to make it more profitable.

There was the time I received a pair of hiking boots instead of my Lego set from Kmart. Lost a good coupon in that transaction.

I think I posted this elsewhere. Meant to post it here. Lol. My winter lake. Ready for ice skating. Going to work on a stream to connect "above" it.

Sets look about the same size. i'm going to have to build mine to see where the extra 2k elements are being used. Granted, I think a great deal of the 2k went into the greebling, interior rooms and cockpit hallway. https://youtu.be/RLmqKBRqyA8

My five year old daughter just wanted to mess around with some random bricks and figs today. I personally like the jungle cat mounted goblins.

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

I know it's a forum regular but this was def me when I saw one had sold for over £2500 Always make me laugh

Nice try suckers! I sold my sets for $50-60 and put that back into 21031 Lego Birds! Who's laughing now!!! *tap tap* Is this thing on?

Hi everyone! I'm new to posting on BP but have been lurking for awhile now. below are a few pics of a MOC that I originally made to be a center piece to my daughter's LEGO elf village. It never really got finished because she decided to use it as a night light! Now if course my son would like something as well. For the lighting I used shapeable wire Christmas LED lighting. I hunted around online for some model lights but everything was pretty pricy. Any suggestions on good deals out there or any suitable alternatives? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Mine too, what does that mean or how is that different from backordered? Will I get mine before the backorder folks? Weird because my order was done less than 60 seconds after it went live.

I see my eBay bucks for a couple of purchases I made (those eBay bucks deposited immediately), but I also sold 3 items - when do the points show up for the items that are sold?

too good to be true. i want proof. no way he gets the following sets (eve in used condition) : Imperial Flagship, GBHQ, Porsche, latest UCS SnowSpeeder, UCS Slave 1 and Disney Cinderella's Castle. ...and if it the trade is factual, the friendship might end soon enough as it was totally one-sided( even if the friend is Richie Rich). one $800 set for $,2000 worth of sets ?

we understand, high price due to demand w/ rare supply = t106 honus wagner or that upside down plane stamps from the early 1900s. high price due to demand w/ adequate but lower supply = babe ruth autograph baseball. high price due to demand w/ adequate supply = used Lego 10179 before this year. high price due to stagnant demand w/ shorter than usual supply = lego the zombies low price due to low demand w/ more than adequate supply = pretty much anything Nexo Knights.

Nothing really beats the time Bold Arrow received an envelope with only the packing slip in it.

Everything he wrote about makes sense and some of the comments after do as well. The number of sets that can be bought blows my mind. $900+ investment is huge as well as that time investment. I hope he does get it one day if and when he wants it.

Two thoughts. 1) where did the creator get all that white Duplo? Must've been very expensive. 2) if they can get that blog lady that lit up the ginger bread house to write up a pseudo-scientific article about how duplo can be beneficial for the elderly,I.e.: arthritis-friendly, alzeheimers-preventative, choose-your-placebo, then this could actually sell. I could see one in every retirement home on the East coast of Florida. This could be the must have Christmas gift for Granny. QFFL ftw!

@Quacs , i love the wayne tower display. kinda sad though how your moc shows off the many batman minifgs made since 2006 / 2012. hasbro, i mean lego needs to stop making so many batman variations.

I'll also say this: logs of people on this thread were mocking the event on the run up, saying people are "sheep", they will get mugged, or that the will start fights... the truth was London in the early hours was very civilised. everyone in hebqueue was civilised, maxing friends, holding each other's places in line while nipping out to get some food. Even in store there was no panic, no jostling or fighting. We were tired by 2am. But it was really great. i think the "doom-Monges" were just miffed about not being there! made me proud to be a Londoner and a Lego fan. As many of you have said, quite rightly, we do love to queue! I thought that might have been the case. I think if the boxes were pre-signed the people would have just take them and gone. But somehow the idea started.

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.

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.

Working on my city Elevation. Had to walk away for a while.

Thought I would quickly share with everyone the small Batman display I've pulled together. Check it out: Had to find a good way to display the Lego Batman CMFs, so I brick built the LBM logo and added all 20 minifigures across the logo. Select figs have a small Batman logo on their stand. All Batman baddies ever made are displayed above in the Rogue's Gallery (posted before), and I mounted the big figs and the Brickheadz directly to little stands that I nailed to the wall. LBM vehicles are in the shelves below. Next on my to-do list is to build a display for all of the Batman minifigures ever released. My idea is to mount them on a background that's modeled after Wayne Tower. Robin minifigs we'll be on the lower levels, and Batman figs will be in the upper sections. Hope this spurs some creative ways to display minifigure collections! Will post more as it's completed.

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.
