Going to keep you all posted on this one:

8% EBay buck promo

Thanks to @Lego Templar I was able to add this rarity to my collection.

Just a heads up, I've got $20 in unexplained freecash on seemingly any purchase (without coupons) right now on both my account and my wife's account. It doesn't show up in the list of Surprise points offers, just hanging out there in my cart. Probably better just spend it quick, right?

You can't triple stack a double stack.

It would look like this.

We have no issue spending reward $$$ in this house.

That was quick. Glad it got there safe/sound. Enjoy.

What we have here is failure to communicate, some sets you just can't find, so you get what we've had here today. Which is the way Lego wants it, well they gets it. I don't like it any more than you......

Mmmmm, hot dogs

Meh, I'll see what unlisted sale prices may pop up tomorrow. 15% off is barely better than the current 2xVIP and freebies from LEGO LEGO Shop at Home

Which cannot be used on LEGO

Picked up a fishing village ideas set for personal build.

These are live and lit! Fantastic little set, can't wait enough for this set that will complement my Hayabusa and Apollo V NASA sector in my office.

It is already the rarest - in terms of buyers.

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F172817245780 Ebay TRU: 41109 Heartlake Airport for $62.89 (retired last year MSRP $89.99)

Borrrrriing. When can we stop with the NASA sets..

Yes, I’ll remove your post.

I'll tell you what sucks, not even having a meijer store.

Holy moley, what a day .... First my Grand Emporium win (no email from SYW yet), then 2x $26 in free sets, and to top it all off I used the 8% EBay Bucks promo combined with my EBay Bucks certificate plus the TRU 20% off flash sale to complete my daughter's Christmas LEGO wishlist. And it is only just noon EST. Tally so far: 8 LEGO sets "bought" for $22 out of pocket (which all went to the TRU sale via EBay). Still have $25 in SYW points left

Thank you ! I used it before it disappeared, then had another $6 FREECASH appear after that purchase. It just show up, again with no minimum purchase required.

I have now looked into the LDD files for both stands. Actually, both models are about the same wideness. As to deepness, first version is only 3 studs deeper. Version is considerably taller and it does impart a much steeper angle for displaying the falcon, requiring near 60 additional pieces in comparison to the first version.

I'm not feeling the title. Something with the word, "Smuggler" would have been nice. However, Ron Howard's presentation of the title was cool.

Thanks!

There's only been 5 creator landmarks hasn't there? They can't have run out of ideas already. I could understand an architecture version.

Wow Lego are really going to do this, have they ran out of landmark ideas already? I guess they want to put an end to any theme being collectable. Tower of Orthanc may become the rarest large Lego set in another 10 years time ?

Or because they already have all the sets, albeit at a slightly different scale.

and of course the internet was right there with me:

Ugh...really? I don't think they really needed to blast us Greedoly with the fact that this is a Han Solo story. Could have been a more intriguing title like something with Smuggler or something along that line. I just see this logo and immediately think of...

If loading up equals three, yes.

Finally got around to picking up the UCS Snowspeeder. I knew i'd love it, but just couldn't justify picking up without some promos/double VIP. The Snowspeeder was probably my favourite SW vehicle as a kid, i remember bringing one of those Action Fleet Snowspeeders everywhere as a kid. Also going from building 75192 to this was almost laughable. Only 1 bag per step!? what is this a juniors build? ? Guess i'll never again think a set takes too long to build after 75192...

I nominate this post for the post of the year. If there are any new BP's out there I encourage you to break apart each sentence and repeat it over and over again. I'm getting flashbacks of 2 years ago when everybody was falling all over each other trying to grab The Tumbler. After my 70+ Saturn V's I got, two days before the release date mind you, I'm not touching anymore. As I've said ad nauseam I was grabbing Imperial Hotels at $86 each while everybody was paying full MSRP for The Tumbler and the IH's have a better ROI. Sure we don't know how many resellers are hoarding this set but seeing that there are now 64 pages to this thread in less than 5 months is telling. Now I have no doubt that I and many others will be making money on this set, but like I said I'm not buying anymore. I'm in the process of buying hundreds of 3-4 sets and none have not been talked about on this forum for months and I'm confident they'll allbring a better ROI in a shorter amount of time. My point here is the point I've tried to make many times on this forum, don't follow the heard. Breakout a Excel spreadsheet and punch numbers into a calculator to discover the undervalued sets that nobody is talking about. You will quickly get ahead of everybody else.

Please please please have a major news paper link the Amazon page

we love you too ?

I highly recommend the book/movie Hidden Figures if you want to learn more about Women at NASA especially the contributions of black women. They could have included a lot more minis if they wanted. PS I am the one who edited the first post, stay classy folks.

Doesn't surprise me. They probably want to reissue it without much redesign to include generic pilots rather than TFA characters.

Can we agree to leave out all the non retirement specific posts, please? This thread will get busy as it is over the next few weeks.

Wow you brought back some memories by saying the black pearl brought you into lego. When my son was younger, he was having issues with attention and following directions. I did not like the idea of medication and one day I was in walmart and saw a lot of lego black pearl on clearance for $50. It hit me for some reason that maybe building lego would help train him a little bit to sit still and follow directions so I bought it even though I thought $50 was expensive for a bunch of plastic. Well, we built it and had a great freaking time doing it so I went back and found a lego queen Ann's revenge for $50 and bought it too. That started our lego addiction. A couple years later I stumbled across the lego black pearl on amazon somehow and almost ruined my pants when I saw how much they were going for and stumbled across this site trying to figure out why lego was worth so much. And since, this has been my favorite website. And my son really benefited from lego....or he realized how he easily could manipulate me easily into buying a ton of sets:) Also, even though we don't sell.....yet, it hurts like he'll to think of how many black pearls and queen Ann's revenge I passed on. If I saw them today for $50, I would arm sweep those MFERS!

Talk to your friends, some of them will think it is fascinating. Some of mine think it is hilarious, others think it is dumb, and some are still pissed their parents tossed theirs out. It's similar to board game playing. I just started asking those I knew if they like strategy board games. Found 3 others and now we have a board game night once a week. Nothing better than getting out of the house, play some games, drink some beer and relax with no kids around.

Not over here.

I come to you with a story of sorrow and elation. I was saving up for what was supposed to be my most epic 14-day Sweeps points total ever. $48.69 in points, all from Sweeps. $4.77 expiring today. Pushed for one more $1 bonus Sweep at 8pm EST, didn't get it. Noticed that the points total in the Win It! App had suddenly dropped to $43.92. Panic. Ran upstairs to the computer on which I had a shopping cart with $10 off $50 coupon standing ready. Still showed $48.69. Raced through the check-out screens. Lo-and-behold, I managed to check out and now have $0.00 in points and paid $1.39 for a $59.99 MSRP set (Christmas gift for my daughter). KMart Order confirmation screen surprisingly showed 3 coupons (hasn't done that for me in months). One of them a $3 off $30 coupon which I thought was useful. Clicked on the "Print" button which gave me an empty 2 page document. When I returned to the page it, I was greeted with a "this page has expired" screen. A reload resulted in a screen without coupons. No coupons attached to the emailed order confirmation. Sadness ...... Main lesson for all of you: Don't push your expiring points to the last minute on the day they expire. SYW giveth and SYW taketh.

Pumpkin spice... anything.

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.
