  4. This will sort of be a "progress" thread so i will continue to share pictures through the process. Wasn't sure where to post this, but this seems to be a good spot for now. As many of you know i wall mounted my bricklinked 10179 and posted it on these forums, it was a fun endeavor and a great way to display the monster. I've since moved to a smaller condo and now more than ever do i need the room. So i plan to (try) do the same with 75192. I managed to pick one up in store lining up at 6am or so and being 5th in line when my local store (Sherway) got a restock. After about a week i have finally finished building it, and now it's time to start brainstorming how to overcome some of the differences. Overall 10179 and 75192 are pretty similar, i found myself recalling a ton of the build processes/techniques and 10179 while putting this one together. the one thing 75192 has going for it over 10179 is of course the enhanced details, but more importantly the build as a whole feels like it won't fall apart just by looking at it, but it does have it's weak spots. My biggest problem with 75192 over 10179 is it doesn't seem to hide the gaps/cracks as well as 10179 does (at least from my recollection/pictures). I can look around the model and peer inside and see many of the rainbow colored bricks shining through, some in more obvious spots than others, but still i thought this being a $900CAD display/collectors model they would go out of their way to make sure this didn't happen. And maybe sacrifice build "ease" for aesthetics. Few pictures to highlight this below: First step will be to install the LED strip to the back. I'm hoping i can use the old TV wall mount and just modify it, buying another and custom drilling more holes will be a pain. And the wall i need to mount this on is concrete, so i can't just drill this into a stud Going to have to find someone with a hammer drill. Anyways enjoy the process and pictures as they come!

  5. New for £300! One of the seals has loosened off, and the box has sagged, but I'm very pleased with this.

  10. Working on flipping my second MILF (3rd if you include selling my spot in line opening day). Sold the last for $1300 cash locally. Got an email from someone interested, lived less than 10 miles away. Asked them when they'd want to meet. Response was "Can you accept Paypal and ship it?". Told them they were close enough that I can just drop it off. They demanded to pay via Paypal and that I ship the box the less than 10 miles down the road to them. Not sure they could make it more obvious that they were trying to scam me, or they're using stolen funds... either way, I want nothing to do with it.

  17. Well now we finally know what it will take for Amazon to turn against customers... http://fortune.com/2017/10/02/amazon-scam-couple-million/ A couple from Muncie, Ind. swindled Amazon out of more than $1.2 million in electronics. Erin Finan, 38, and Leah Finan, 37, used a classic scam—buying items and then reporting them missing or damaged. That's how they scored the GoPro digital cameras, Microsoft Xboxes, Samsung smartwatches, and Microsoft Surface tablets that they sold to accomplice Danijel Glumac, 28, who then sold the merchandise to an unnamed “New York entity,” according to authorities. For Amazon, it’s often cheaper to replace items when these claims are filed than to investigate. But after using hundreds of fake online identities to grift the online retail giant, the husband and wife team face up to 20 years behind bars for fraud and money laundering.

  20. Wow. This might be one of the craziest deals I ever found. I just left Savers (a goodwill type store). Found a big bag of Legos marked $9.99. I had a 30% off coupon, so I paid $7. I wasn't sure what was in the bag, but it was big enough to be worth it to me. Looked like a lot of white and blue so I was assuming some kind of city police stuff. Didn't see any minifigures so I was a little disappointed, but I saw a some numbered bags so that's cool. I got in the truck and open it up. Start pulling out all sealed bags. Lots of white and blue. Oh look, an instruction manual. Woah. It's a freaking UCS R2D2! All bags present and sealed. Instructions never opened.

  21. Watch at about 0:06 in the video... On the right-side, in front of the Duplo set, we can see a brick-built toy-soldier in the typical Christmas promo packaging! Looks like another promo WINNER again!

  22. Ordered a Saturn V from TRU last week since I had a bunch of gift cards that I wanted to use just in case. So it's been a week and no ship confirmation. Literally as I'm questioning how long it's been since I ordered, I get an email saying my order has been delayed, was not shipped and they don't know if it will ship at all and that in 30 days I'll get my money refunded. Was pretty bummed since I haven't had much luck finding one in stock anywhere, and wondering how getting my gift card values back will go. Then and hour later FedEx pulls up and delivers one Saturn V from TRU to me. WTH TRU?? Maybe this is why you are losing money!

  30. The KMart at an acceptable distance from my new workplace has been at 30% off for the last 3-4 weeks at least. Patiently waiting on 50%, which is when I'll likely swoop in, as the good LEGO sets are not in the clearance aisle . There were a few that I grabbed even at 30% off a month ago (SD Lighthouse and Elves Starlight Inn). Already sold those for 400%+ ROI

  44. When sales start to taper off and the demand slows down. An intelligent business doesn't retire something that consistently sells out as fast as they produce it.... right now they're just printing money.
