If we say no will it stop you?

I've seen some reports of 2 for $5 minifigures at ToysRUs stores and they are having a decent flash sale on a few LEGO items right now. https://www.toysrus.com/toys/deals/flash-sale

Dude...Are you TRYING to get robbed?

This is so fun watching people panic. We still have more than a month till Christmas with Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up, why drop the price to $39 FBA? After fees, that's selling at cost.

At Meijer starting Thursday, BOGO 40% off all Lego creator, duplo, super heroes and friends . Plus there is an MPerks coupon Thursday thru Saturday for 10% off all general merchandise.

Obligatory haul pic from today: 2x 41119 from Amazon - $7 each 1x 60134 from KMart - $0 after points, 50% off clearance and 5% off toys coupon 1x 31058 from KMart - $8.99+tax after points - for personal collection, and gained $15 in points for December 4x Mighty Micros (1x75064,1x75065,2x75066) from B&N - $2 each after 75% off, 10% off member, 10% off GC 2x 41110 from B&N - $4 each after 75% off, 10% member, 10% off GC 1x 41111 from B&N - ripped box, might be for personal build - $2 after 75% off, 10% member, 10% off GC 1x 41032 from B&N - box a bit worse for wear - $3 after 75% off, 10% member, 10% off GC 2x 41120 from B&N - one with a slighty damaged box - $2 each after 75% off, 10% member, 10% off GC 1x 75821 from B&N - $2.75 after 75% off, 10% member, 10% off GC - received $0.13 in cash as that was the remaining balance on my GC, and for some reason B&N's registers are programmed to return any GC balance under $1 as cash. Weird, and not what I wanted, but hey.

In the email I received for this flash sale there is also mention of saving 10% off TRU/BRU Gift Cards purchased both online and in-store 11/15 - 11/19. Limit details NOT provided. Not as great as our paypal digital discounts, but better than nothing for those interested or already purchasing without additional savings. Confirmed seeing 10% discount. https://toysrus.cashstar.com/gift-card/buy/

Maybe if we say, "yes", we won't have to hear about the plan any more until they're sold?

I wish there was a way to rip the Wayne Manor piece out and combine a couple to create one proper.

amazon is out of stock again.

After, add to cart, you’ll see it

Just received a MISB 75019 from eBay for £90, and the seller put a bonus sealed Admiral Yularen fig in there as well!

We wish we had more

I’ll just leave this here...Seller count is dropping fast. Make of it what you will. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L2DL6N4

Well I was about to have a rant about the 5th fraudulent sale in a month but you lot are already doing it. Since the first 3 (and one user taking 4 days to inform me, annoyingly one hour AFTER I'd posted it!!) I have been contacting buyers to ask if they are genuine. Also, I know I am not around here as much as I used to be - too busy sorting building and selling vintage Lego - but since when is TabbyBoy back on eBay. The last I read was that he gave them the finger

This day and age, you'd be more apt to have the stuntman stolen than the LEGO.

I second that. I had over $40k stolen from my warehouse last year and I "only" met eight buyers here for transactions. Maybe 12 people in the world knew what I had on hand. Sheriff's detective completely useless, no recovery or follow up on the leads I gave them. Now it's like Wonka's factory: nobody goes in, and nobody comes out.

Craigslist meet apparel

I think the chances that a year from now we'll be wishing we had bought more of these > the chance that anyone who bought a bunch of these will feel any significant pain.

Just ranting here, and this is happens a lot. Newbie finds this site, joins the forum, and without taking 2 seconds to look around for an answer to something that's probably been answered before, or already has a dedicated thread, begins a NEW thread to ask a questions about a certain part, or set, or investing tips. This is just lazy and needs to stop. Quit enabling these folks, and kindly ask them to look around the site for a while, maybe suggest a thread, but should we really do the work for them? That is all. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day....day.

I hear they are in the process of closing so the next time you may just find a Starbucks or Cereal bar.

Well, his minifig IS worth more than a complete Joker Steamroller!

Makes me wonder what else is going to pop up from the dead. Time for a new thread,Fastest re-release speculation.

Ant man has no business being near Batman. (the comic nerd in me is outraged )

It says a lot about this set that people seem to be more interested in the tracks.

Now $14.99 (50% off)

and with a limit of 20!!!

Pack them away and give them to your kids when they have children themselves. If you have over 200 sets, your kids must have really loved lego, and may someday come out of what adult lego fans call their "dark ages", or at least enjoy seeing their kids play with them someday.

Not sure if this works for everyone, but when I add the older creator sets with the current $20 (100), $30 (150) etc. it stacks with an additional $15 cashback >$100. The new ones with the latest release don't seem to work. Not too bad with them already %20 off. Example below shooting for around the $100 mark with those three sets.

I have been tracking retirements this year and I disagree. We are only in mid November and about 80 sets are already done. BF will account for several more and so will Xmas build up and the first period of the post Xmas sale at 20%. I reckon the only sets that will make it to 50% will be Super Girls, Nexo and the odd Friends, City, Batman Movie or Star Wars buildable. Adventure Time is also a candidate and we don´t know how many Yellow Submarines are still in warehouse. Clone Turbo Tank and Phantom also have very good chances of making the cut. The non Nexo 50% off sets from last January were; 75150 A wing v Turd Fighter, 41122 Tree house, 41176 Secret Marketplace plus a few that came back into stock again and got marked down e.g. Doctor Who, Ecto...

Yes I concur more sets will join the 50 off club this year.

Bricklink refers to these as "Blocked Open Stud", there will be no Lego logo on them.

I never get the buy or sell deals. Actually called on it and they said it was random. I complained that I am randomly left out every time and have been for 3 years.

So what kind of info can you share about the future with us non-time-travellers?

I flipped one, am holding one, and sent one for free to a random STEM teacher on Twitter who mentioned wanting one for her classroom. She seems confused and excited.

Also retired today: CLAAS Xerion 5000 (42054) Belles Enchanted Castle (41067) Corner Deli (31050)

I feel like I’m on an emotional rollercoaster. You guys are the best.

You would think that instant checkout would keep these types away from your particular store. I didn't get hit this time around but did a few weeks ago. Fortunately the process of cancelling and getting parts back in store is pretty easy. I have held off from instant checkout until the bugs are cleared. There has been a lot of complaining on the seller side in the forums about bug issues so I have stayed away. Thanks for the order, hope all went well. I'm 2 months in and really like selling on BL so far. I have sold on Ebay for about 15 years now, but this is new to me. What I do like is that for the most part, you are dealing with informed buyers/sellers so it generally runs very smoothly.

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".

At least that person did a better job of "creating" an address. For a second I had to think if Delaware and New York actually shared a border. My brain was going crazy trying to think of how and where they would touch! Also, I didn't want to do it, but I've just activated the New Buyers must use Instant Checkout (until they have a rating of 5). I only have this for smaller 1st class items but maybe that would deter some from possibly wasting my time.

Another type of fruitcake I've noticed (more harmless) recently, are people who list like this: Lego set MISB box damage. Makes me laugh.

On display at NYCC, I can't get any closer to it right now, but it looks cool and is much bigger than I was expecting.
