Anyone else slightly discombobulated by just how bullish Tabby is on this, it just feels wrong

Anyone want this from Lego SAH with 2xVIP?.... ;-)

I retract my previous statement, it has arrived.

I think I missed a few recent holidays?? . Oh well double points, with 2 Freebies. Thank you sir may I have another.

borderline inappropriate if you say it out loud. where's billy bush when you need him?

Built over a span of a couple of months as I'm pretty busy with work, but I am happy with the outcomes. Picked up the houses in a used local lot and really like all three. I wish the current line of Creator Houses were more similar to these! My wife even suggested on her own that these would be neat to put together into a town set up one day, so that was a win. I picked up the Detective's Office back in July when the Snowglobe and Piggy Bank were stacking. I was up in the middle of the night waiting for news on our puppy that was having to have emergency surgery, and it was definitely an impulse buy as I figured I was blowing an estimated 2-4k on the pup, whats a little bit more? Had a lot of fun building it and am impressed with some of the details, its a lot better in person than I gave it credit for before I bought it. Puppy turned out just fine as well...(the underwear she ate, not so much) A post here led me to that deal, and while I always appreciate the lead on discounted sets for resale, I'm always super grateful for the good deals on sets for personal builds, thanks all!

This and Activisions Stampede were my 2 favorite games. 3 Hours on this game I think the person playing would Crack.

Sweet. Just ordered a Saturn V for my wife. Double VIP points, VIP store promo set, and chick suit dude. Sweet.

...and spectacular

i have one order that is still processing however one of the items in that order was delivered yesterday. it was a set that i just included in that one order. also it seems rak shields you from the tru ban. i used my main email that was banned long time ago at tru and it worked just fine.

Hey peoples, just checked Target AU website, NASA rockets available as of Thursday morning. Doesn't seem to be any buy limits, free shipping and normal RRP. https://www.target.com.au/p/lego-reg-ideas-lego-reg-nasa-apollo-saturn-v/60881885

Got my UCS MF today @ the LEGO store. Produced 2017/10/09. Anyone notice what is missing? *sigh* Employee had to walk me to my car using a hand truck so I wouldn't drop it. Now the real question is, build it or sell it this Christmas so I can buy another one during the next double VIP points event... decisions...decisions... Oh, and the store received a shipment of Saturn V's as well. It was hard to leave them (esp with double VIP pts) but I figured I should be thankful my wife is on board with me getting the UCS MF. Ironically, on my way to the LEGO store, my wife called to ask why a large box with LEGO arrived. Hard to explain my Rakuten UCS Snowspeeder while en route to spend $800 for the UCS MF. I figured I should count my blessings instead of pushing my luck with such an understanding and loving wife.

Thanks, finally got one on 2xVIP. Website was throwing an error, again, so had to call to complete the order. The lovely lady on the other line offered a 10% discount and free next day shipping for my time. $107 with 2xVIP and free easter minifig, Yes Please!! edit: reviewing my receipt and another nice suprise. i come from a heavily taxed state and it appears it was left off?! Never does anything cost exactly what the price tag says. Except today!

If it doesn't show up in the emails, CALL the Customer Service to get it added. That should resolve the issue. I find that their CS is amongst the best I've ever dealt with.

You should have in your contract a clause stating your distributor agrees not to sell those items on Amazon itself, or at the very least they have to provide 3 months notice prior to selling so you can sell through or an agreement that they buy back all of your merchandise at cost if they start selling on Amazon. If not, you will next time This is why Amazon is going to have a monopoly within 5 years, and why we keep buying Amazon stock, and why we keep diversifying and adding new skus every week: https://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=17285120011

Gift cards working again on LEGO Shop at Home.

Another great thing about Activision games was if you hit a certain score you would take a picture of it and send it to Activision and they would send you a patch for that game. Most were pretty easy. My son has a bunch of them.

I'm not looking to get out, but if someone shows up at my door w/ enough cash - it's all yours.

Amazon, Target, Lego Store, all in stock...

A guy on the arcade forum I frequent loves kaboom so much he made his own cabinet

Time to crack open my $15 one.........

My son and I finished up 70626 Dawn of Iron Doom today. Fun build. I really like the robot snake creature. It’s going to be raining havoc on the Halloween Town.

Am I the only one who spins to save time when driving?

Mine are all Lego too. But after you won, I changed them all to $200+ sets. Lol

If paid full price, probably or a little bit more. However, with brickolodon's magic + VIP points (or coupons elsewhere) + CC points + stackable promos, etc, I'm sure the wizards here have their ways of turning $5 into $50+

This was a concern for me, and it actually ended up better than typical packaging.

I think @TabbyBoy touches on this point, as a big change is that timeliness is more of a consideration, including with the flipping / arbitrage. Sitting on a retired set and expecting it to go up forever is not realistic - if you're sitting on gold, just sell into hype and reap a comfortable profit rather than getting greedy. Keep that capital flowing with a positive margin and you're in a good spot. There are a ton of examples within the past few years for sets that rose modestly, then dropped off again. Parabolic was mentioned. If a set is high and there's a good margin, just take the money and run, even if you're not on the top of the curve. No way to know that. Things don't just accrue into skyhigh oblivion, especially when remakes, new huge lego sets, fakes, all provide ample competition with each other. There are more sets than ever to chose from, both new and old, and that's not changing. I don't think that's a sign of doom - making lego more available than ever is a good thing for its popularity, but devaluing brand via over-expansion is a concern too. Lego is a toy, and most lego is seen and bought as toys, which do not make good investments whatsoever. You probably shouldn't be hoarding friends, city, uniconic star wars sets, for RRP... some of the pics I've seen, those scare me. Not all lego goes up or sells. Some things are solely parting out packs for bricklink stores if you get it on sale. And that's only if you don't value your free time and enjoy scoops of pennies and nickles. There are so many lego sets now, you really have to chose wisely, or for good sales. I buy basically nothing at RRP, and only buy a few times a year when the deals or pickin's feel right. Stack points, wait for deals and sales, whatever. Oops, don't mind me, just accidentally authoring misplaced speculation bubble posts ?

Just finished...

Sorry, I agree with you. I was juggling this & the NASA thread and had that specifically in my mind. Anything available at the chains, I'd sooner take my chances on a clearance, BOGO, etc sale.

That is simply not true. USA is not the whole world...

last call today for VIP promo (at least reportedly). saturn v in stock now with this promo if you buy another set to get over $125 - pick $20 in Friends set to get tic tac toe promo, + easter chick promo + vip promo and double VIP. bought the advent calendar for my kids.

saturn V in stock lego online and today is last day double vip. This will kill any rumor that TLG doesnt want to give you 2x vip on a hot set.

Plants vs Zombies by Jeremy Rider

I definitely never reached the max on Kaboom (although I was good at it). I did get into the crazy range (where the 10k skull switches into numbers) on Stampede (but I can't recall how high).

I was able to get one in-store yesterday with the VIP bag.

Get some from TRU this week with Bricktober. We need a $15 off $75, STAT!

That was a good grab from rak

Sold my one and only 21109 Exo Suit for $28.00 + shipping today. Was surprised when I saw the invoice! Someone paid money for it! Unfortunately this admits to you all that I bought an exo suit. In fairness, it put me over the free shipping threshold for an order, and I originally bought it for myself but never got around to building it. At least broke even with it. Took a year to sell at that price. Also sold a couple series 2-3 microfighters for a few buck profit a pop, less desirable ones.

I read that as your wife abandoned you

The next person that posts an order status update here will be beat with that beef jerky that was displayed a few posts back.

Thank you. I was able to place the order for you this morning. Here are some details. Lego Creator Grand Emporium 10211 Sold by zabiva - a Sears Marketplace seller Qty: 1 1 item shipping, arrives by Wednesday, November 1st. Jimmy Community Moderator

Thanks for the bridge input Guys. I said. Screw that literally. Also, 3182 Airport Terminal

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.

I'm finally building a used copy that I got a couple years back. My wife keeps asking if I could hang it from the ceiling. I tried explaining that it is less a representation of the Death Star than it is a collection of scenes from the Death Star, but she didn't get it. Finally I told her it's a doll house. She still didn't understand what it would look like, so I showed her what I have so far. She asked if it had coverings, when I said no she agreed it's just a doll house and shouldn't be dangled from the ceiling. I didn't think it would be structurally sound enough to hang it anyway.

Cannot like this enough. R1 was the best Star Wars movie since Empire Strikes Back. Yes there were fan service moments but they all made sense given the connection to New Hope and were generally not intrusive. Force Remakens was such fan service that they recreated a movie people loved rather than try to do something different. I was really enjoying it solely on account of the more adult tone compared to the prequels and the earnestness of the new actors right up until the Death Planet appeared on screen. At that moment I felt my stomach sink as I knew exactly how the movie would unfold. I laughed at that scene where the resistance dude replied to the comment about the Death Star by instantly bringing up a picture of the Death Star compared to the Starkiller to show how much bigger the latter was - like he has that file handy right there 30 years later just in case. It's not copying because it's bigger dammit!!!
