  1. Math is hard... Accidentally only ordered enough parts for half the assembly, but here we are so far. Drew A LOT of inspiration from 10179 MOC engines that were floating around the forums, so big thanks to those amazing designers. Was also able to use the pool noodles behind the trans-blue elements to get a nice effect. Happy to answer any questions or take deconstructed pics.

  2. Went back to my local kmart (and by local I mean 20 minute drive) the other day and picked up some scraps! x1 Volcano Helicopter $15.00 (70% off) x6 70337 Ultimate Lance $2.00 (80% off) x3 Minecraft The Nether Fortress $24.00 (70% off) x2 Jungle Halftrack Mission $12.00 (70% off) x6 Jungle ATV $FREE (100% off) The employees didn't even bother scanning the promo item this time around, they just gave me one with each transaction. Up to 22 now over the last few weeks. Loving that little set! Left a few more clearance items for the 75% off sale (predicted to be during black Friday), a few nexo sets, some star wars and minecraft remain at mine. At target I picked up a bunch of Santa Polybags and Christmas trees for the holiday season. Overall pretty good haul

  3. Very old saying but still applies today: "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". I sold all of mine now, while there is guaranteed money to be made. It may be a winner down the line, let's hope for a quick retirement.

  5. Probably another 12 months? My receipts say 11th and 12th November. I was kind of hoping for a similar sale this year to get a couple of modulars for personal collection.

  9. It was available at my local Target today. The packaging is certainly unusual. It is a cross between the build and take models at TRU and an actual polybag. It has a sealed unmarked poly with the pieces inside an adhesive sealed bag that also had the instructions.

  12. Whenever things are going their way, some sellers love the free market and competition. It's brought up whenever a customer or Amazon reviewer is ticked off at scalping. But when someone, one of the many sellers whose independent actions make up the free market, acts independently, the same people dislike the free market. If you care one way or another how one seller decides to price his product, maybe you are one of those people who should be internalizing that "if you can't afford to lose it, don't invest it" statement I've seen here recently.

  16. If you have it for your personal build, you might want to contact these sellers. The current CZK/GBP exchange rate is 30 CZK = 1 GBP and you might expect shipping costs (registered, signed-for package to UK) around 20 GBP new, unopened, damaged corner https://www.sbazar.cz/krejcovakristina/detail/26326874-lego-ghostbusters new, unopened, box damaged https://www.sbazar.cz/nabidkanaprodej/detail/23139925-lego-ghostbusters-75827-hasicska-zakladna

  20. I never have understood why people post pictures like this on their listing and enter their max quantity that they have. It's telling the potential buyer " I got plenty of these. No rush. Wait to see if the price drops further".

  29. I think that's a yes and I did that. I used a 15% off coupon also, but it benefited me more than the gift card offer in one case, so I used it instead.

  30. I talked to my "regular" TRU cashier the other day, and she was very surprised about the LEGO exemption and said she just looked at someone's rewards the other day, and it didn't mention it. So apparently, it's back off. Related - Does anyone know if you can pay with Rewards and say, use the coupon for the $10 gift card? Or does it need to be actual payment for $75 to get the gift card?

  32. So, I will want one of these for personal build before Lego pulls it. Is the current price of £239.99 as good as its gunna get? Do I pull the trigger or wait?

  33. After much research & deliberation this morning, we went into the store thinking we would purchase the Ferrari. However, once he saw the Fishing Store he started thinking about how he could get that instead. It didn't take too much arm twisting, but he now owes me $25 and walked out with the Fishing Store in hand. 2.5 hours later he's still building, and I imagine will finish it before bedtime. He loves it. Again, many thanks. Looks like Ferrari will be on his Christmas list. And as FYI -- Our store no longer had the Caterham. They did have a few of the Women of NASA on the shelf. Saturn V is still only sold upon request.

  35. It's also possible that person is posting it up to scare away resellers. Telling all BPer's, I got this, you guys get out of my way. I'm going to dump mine for $48 shipped before he drops his a bit lower.

  37. Yes, no questions. I've been collecting used HP sets, and they are worth the money - whether resale or for own collection. It's the time of the year where parents are looking for Christmas toys - this will definitely make you a profit. The Castle will pull in $150 if complete. I see the green snake for the chamber of secret, make sure it is complete - this is quite expensive by its own going by BL alone. Fluffy is there as well, looks good. Check and make sure you get the rarer mini figures.

  38. Actually these are all Wave 1 (2001) outside of Chamber of Secrets(2002). While I prefer the latter waves from Harry Potter, this is a good buy at $200.

  39. Rumor is that there are new HP sets coming summer 2018. What scenes and buildings those cover is anyone's guess. Note that the above are from the second series of HP sets, not the latest wave from 2010. Net, all depends on what your objectives are, how badly you want these, and how risk-tolerant you are should similar sets be part of the summer release.

  40. Wow It's looking like the Same Guy that Pedicted the TaJ re-release also PreDicted the SSD in 2018... ill admit I don't have this set but If it's true a year from now I'll Bite...but like many have said..."the Collectability of these Big Sets is pointless..." that being said, I tend to agree that by flooding the market with re-releases of these sets will hurt lego in the long run...but there are too many Variables and "what if's" that can happen in a 5 year cycle. botom line Nobody has a crystal ball as to how many Sets TLG will re-release...but it Does create a Panic to be sure. As an investor in the NYSE for over 20 years...markets are fairly predictable if you look at a 10 year cycle...however, it's when that cycle is Tampered With or manipulated that tend To Screw things up...Be it Banks, or in this case The Lego Group itself... i personally think the only Way TLG is going to Cease Manipulation is to Fail at a series of re-releases and go back to Creating setting the Market back on track...

  42. I found about 15 on the top shelf almost behind a Lego friends set. Target. Took them all and about 10 turtles. I thought they would be fun to give to the neighborhood kids closer the Christmas. I haven’t seen any since, but Target has been putting polys all over place. Every register and at least 3 isle caps. I saw just a few ninjago polys at the registers, but I don’t remember if it’s the one someone just asked about on here. I’ll check tomorrow. 99% were Star Wars, and 85% were walker and the rest were some other one I cannot find online. Maybe 5 each of City, Batman and turtles.
