  3. Been up for a while, but the kids had finally left it in a state that worked for pictures (after a few adjustments). Still don’t know where the train and station will fit. Currently built with no home.

  4. 25% off RRP at a local Mom and Pop. They have a rewards program now, so I generated a few $10 off gift cards to stack on these. Effectively the gc at least took care of quite a bit of the sales tax. I finally unloaded the truck.

  12. I am seeing this set EVERYWHERE now. Even some notoriously scalping shops are selling it for RRP. It´s going to be a long year for anyone who went in big on these. Maybe even longer.

  13. TRU is bankrupt because years ago they borrowed $7 billion to go private at a cost of $500 million in interest per year and they never paid it down at all and blew that money on nothing business related rather than on improving the business.

  14. Good riddance. Judging by the difficulty they could get rid of this and the performance of the Tumbler I do not have much hope for this set. Personally I think it is a fun albeit imperfect set, but I am not the market. I have one for my collection and that's it.

  17. I just popped into my Target to pick up some more Dr. Strange sets and found a stack of these coupons laying on the shelf in the Lego aisle. Be on the lookout. It's good from 12/1-12/15, and will hopefully stack with sale prices and red card discount. Only a few sets excluded from what I can tell.

  18. They have probably made more models of T1 than the real thing. That is certainly true with Tower Bridge!

  19. Once again - yes, it is a fantastic set, but this does not mean anything about how good it will do after retirement (look at Orthanc Tower as one good example). The production figures are already much more than for MR, and not every person is interested in space travel. So for me, it looks that the market is already saturated with Saturn V...

  21. No no no, you couldn't imagine how many people do this. Sometimes when I go for online pickup, I listen to what people are doing. There are a bunch of mommies always squeezing pennies especially in the lower mainland. They would grab flying and start lecturing the manager. Sometimes the manager might say sorry and throw in some free gifts to shut them up. This isn't even with lego, this is with a bunch of playschool stuff which makes me roll my eyes. Anyhow, getting back on track, the only thing I can really see TRU blow out would be the batcave as all the other supposedly soon to retire sets are oos. I was going to pull the same move on the kwik-e-mart and thought I could wait and get it for 169.98 bogo 50%. That strategy failed. Just keep searching the lego exclusives and hard to find, there must be something going for bogo 50% on cyber sunday-night/monday. Start hitting refresh at 8:30pm PST.

  22. Yup, I’ve taken advantage of your input on the past for sets, so thanks for it. But people who take ‘advantage’ of ToysRUs like you are a minority. Most buyers are the average parent or grand-parent who buys their kids toys, no?

  26. I've got 75201 showing as a diorama set, it may contain an AT-ST but can't see it being full size (75201) – described as a diorama looking set, I guess it has something to do with the set depicting a particular background similar to that of the Battle on Takodana (75139) and Battle on Scarif (75171) sets. 75201 is said to feature a redesigned Captain Phasma, and First Order disguised Finn and Rose. Images of these minifigures have been circulating via Instagram so its just a matter of clicks before you can find them.

  39. 75054 - AT-AT 75050 - B-Wing 75092 - Naboo Starfighter 75094 - Imperial Shuttle Tydirum 75105 - Millennium Falcon Based on the rest of the images the AT-AT and IST are complete. Naboo Starfighter is missing the antennas, the remaining parts to the b-wing look to be in the clothes basket along with a ton of MF pieces. Most of the minifigs are there as well, the missing may be among the parts in the basket. Wasn't stopping to ask questions before I hit BIN. Not bad for $47 shipped.

  45. Sea Cow came like 1 month after release, not 9-ish. Separately, I do not think that TLBM line would be watered down. Most sets are quite good and creative, definitely at least on the level of TLM sets. Three years ago this quality would have been considered outstanding. The problem is that general set quality increased so much in the recent years, that the bar to capture out appreciation has moved even higher. This creates a perception of oversaturation for the run-of-the-mill collector. I see this the reason behind LEGO's increased push for high piece count sets, to capture interest and generate hype, as well designed smaller sets are just too common now. Too bad that they are falling into the same trap, they can't just continue making larger and larger sets.

  46. Just received an email from Lego, saying that this set will be free with any £60 + purchase this weekend.They must have found a glut of extra stock or something.
