Bought my first Fishing Store. TRU Rewards still work online.

Just noticed this exclusive TRU set went to retired:

They've been consistently cheaper on ebay. Picked up mine for $80 shipped. Free with ebay bucks from the past 3 months.

If you tell me which set, I’ll give it a go and get back with you ?????? edit : ninja’d

I think you've really reached peak Tabby Here come the men in white coats.

Boba Fett/Carbonite Han Brickheadz - super cool. Also bought the Lego Batman Bricktober minifigure set...these Batman figs are awesomely wacky.

don't want to get banned over caveman promo. need to maintain vip status since this may be the only way to obtain msrp milf.

pretty good deal on jet.com for LEGO ELVES Ragana magic shadow castle. 1 for $53.87 before any jet.com magic. 4x for $52.71 each before jet magic. msrp $99.99. ~48% off MSRP online is pretty sweet. limit 7. amazon pulling up lame at $58.39 for the same set. this set might be around for another year though it was clearanced at walmart which usually presages retirement. water dragon's for $11 but limit 2.

Gone too. 60134 Fun in the Park. 16 month run.

for more early retirement clues check out the usa walmart clearance thread. system wide walmart clearance has been nearly 100% spot on predictor of EOL in the last 18 months. list is at the top of the thread. resistance x-wing and poe's x-wing were both cleared. one glaring exception is minecraft the cave which retired last year in europe is still kicking around in usa because of its incredibly high sales rank on amazon #3 most popular lego and #142 most popular TOY. apologies for further graffiti in the inner sanctum. this thread will need to be cleaned up (cough @Alpinemaps) since its supposed to be strictly limited to retirement updates .

I do not understand aftermarket buyers. This set has several unique minifigures (and the dewback), and is an iconic scene from an OT film. Yet it has seen worse returns (compared to RRP) than the V-wing, which appears for all of 2 seconds in ROTS. Curse of the playsets continues.

Nice, that just came out of nowhere, and before the new film. Glad I picked some up earlier in the year when Tesco did 3 for 2. @Sprocket77 did the same, for the same price, I think?

Ok, this is a surprise. We didn't get a "retiring soon" alert did we? also that was an 18 mont run?

There was a new Rose minifigure leak recently that showed her in her First Order officer disguise outfit. So, looks like that's coming sometime early next year perhaps in one of the 4 last jedi sets that are due out on January 1st.

last thing LEGO needs to be doing is banning.

Your items became stranded because you upgraded to the Pro account. There are a few things to try but I will give you the sure fire method that works 100% of the time for us. Get seller support on chat and explain what is going on (make sure to suck up big time, ask them how their day is going etc). Next copy and paste your skus that are stranded. They will be able to relist them on their end which sends them back into active. Say thank you, suck up again etc, and leave 5 stars in all categories for them and a short paragraph on how awesome they are - this way the next time you need something the agent will see what good reviews you leave and they in turn will bend over backwards to bump up their metrics. With Amazon it is all about quid pro quo and that goes for absolutely everything on their platform. Forget about the seller forums the people there are usless except for redwing. Join a good fba group where you will get real help.

I scooped up one to build for $20 w/free shipping, that sure as heck beats giving Lego $125 I am waiting for the Nutcrackers next month, and who knows what is to come in December...

I’d buy all of them if you shipped. Name the price

Verify all the parts are there from what is opened and put them in labeled ziplock bags. Put the parts from bag 1 in a single bag, bag 2 in another bag, etc. Leave the sealed bags as they are. Will give the buyer the ability to have a traditional build experience, and give them the confidence that the set is complete.

Well then maybe I’m wrong about these being sketchy listings, if people are anticipating such low supply. I guess I don’t know who the market is at 4000$. The AFOL I know can’t afford it. Even if they could afford it, they wouldn’t pay that much (their wives wouldn’t let them....) Maybe investor collectors thinking infinite supply issues, heavy demand, and fast retirement? I don’t know. I guess no matter what, something will always be worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.

It has come to my attention that the SYW Superstore concept rumored earlier is actually happening. I was sent photos from a reliable source which depicted multiple people from SHC corporate breaking the news to a Kmart somewhere in FL. Apparently the transition will begin in the coming weeks. From what I've heard, this concept may have some promise. Supposedly combining the strong departments from sears (appliances, tools, paint, hardware etc) with a smaller Kmart, fresh market, and rent-able space for local entrepreneurs. How this will turn out remains to be seen. Stay tuned. Glad to see they're bringing back polybags, note that most stores will only get one or the other, so it's probably going to be up to chance if my store gets the good one (imo, the jungle ATV). This promo also should work on clearance and stack with SYW witchcraft, so that could be a nice little bonus Lastly, text "mystore" to 56278 for a $10 off $40 FREECASH offer (in store only).

True.

Probably be back in stock at Lego when double VIP points end.

Looks like they are out of Caveman minifigs at US LEGO Shop at Home. Not showing up anymore.

it's a ship dammit

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!

@jonnyhanukkah smug b_stard!

I'm not mad at this set. I bought three, all at MSRP and directly from Lego SAH. I got some kind of freebie with each, but I can't remember what exactly. I sold two for $260 each, and each during an eBay promo where I only paid $5 in fees. After paypal and shipping I probably cleared about $60-70 total profit. Definitely nothing to get excited about but It means that the cost of my personal copy (that I really look forward to building some day) was about $140 before factoring in the VIP points and freebies I earned, and that's okay with me. #notgreedy

Jungle temple by Jonas Wide

I love the Mouth of Sauron minifig in this set. Picked up a couple on Bricklink. Hope it will do well.

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.

seeing all the new sets in the new catalog and how much money these are going for i've been unloading them all. jw and scooby doo are the unquestionable winners in the last year. The only set that might not be remade would be Irex. pretty much a guarantee you will see another T-rex and raptor, pteranadon. maybe another diplosaurus. the demand for this theme is strong and you can sell through 4-5 Irex's in a day for $250 if you have the buy box. pretty good return for the irex's i was topping off with in January from TRU for $91. ended up with 30 at EOL. down to 12.

Friendliest looking T-Rex ever. Please don't be purple.

5 proper lego, 3 Juniors and 2 Duplo. Maybe a large exclusive too. Seems they are going to milk this one so maybe this Xmas is a good time to sell the previous sets.

Yeah, I have a few. I missed out on Brandeburg . Still, I like this set. I think it is better executed than most. When I walk by these on the selves and leave them there... I kinda feel the same way I felt when I walked by those 21009 Farnsworths a couple years ago...

I still see these at random Books-a-Million stores... with a 20% off coupon, can be picked up for $32 + tax... worth it? I don't get to B&N much... can you still find them there? Anywhere else?

Yes he has his
