Worked for me! Thank you very much op! Stood there in self checkout and did individual purchases and scanned this code on my phone each time. Best deals were Carbon Freezing Chamber at -52% and U-wing at -42%, with red card.

Ever since the news on this re-release broke I have been hoping that it tanks, and will continue to hope it tanks. Let LEGO be stuck with a boatload of these large, shelf-occupying sets that nobody wants. 50% off fire sale BF 2018, quick retirement, end of the re-release experiment and lesson learned.

There will be little to no interest in The Beatles Yellow Submarine when it retires so there's no reason to continue to discuss it & certainly no reason to purchase any.

Took a gamble just now:

With just over 3 weeks left before end of year and the way the deals have been this season, I feel like someone will look at their sales goals for the year and just shout out "F@&* IT" and push that super deal button.

Not sure if online but Barnes & Noble had most of their Star Wars sets, new ones included 30% off

So the initial QFLLs buy it, but then it becomes obvious that not that many people actually want this set, and many who said they did aren't buying. People only wanted this because it was rare and expensive. Now that it isn't, they aren't interested.

Where are you located? I'm sure a local picker would love to have first crack at them, and any sales for cash with no selling fees is a win win for everyone involved. This would be my approach as well. I'm forty and I still have all of my sets from the eighties when I grew up, but only because my parents saved them for me. I'm so glad that they did, because now that I have two kids of my own I was able to get them all back out and build them again. My kids and I created a huge city layout combining the classic town sets that were mine and some of the newer City sets. Most importantly, we had a blast doing it. My kids are 12 and 11 and have already entered their dark ages, so the hundreds of sets in their collection are in storage until it's time to pass everything onto the grandkids. I feel it's my duty to save them and pass them on since my parents did the same for me. Lego truly is a timeless toy.

LEGO Star Wars Constraction Baze Malbus (75525) $4.98 TRU

Since it's just 2 units, I wouldn't sweat it. Sell and move on...

What they did with MF 75192 was legit with 10 years since 10179 was released and a significant redesign. Selling the 2016 holiday set, 40223, for $10 was not cool. The reissue of the Taj Mahal was shameless.

Wrong. If anything the hoard was more tenacious back then. If there was a clue a set was retiring it would vanish from every retailer the same day, sometimes within the hour. When the Town Hall and Imperial Shuttle were confirmed they vanished and the threads went crazy. People stared at amazon tapping F5 hoping for one set to pop back into stock. Now large sets going are met with a collective yawn.

I'm going to sound like my Dad here, but if Cheese advised you to jump off a bridge would you? Just because someone you don't know advises you to buy dragons, doesn't mean you have to buy dragons. What he didn't say is that even at a third off the Dragon set is still dearer than it has been in the last month.

Triggered once purchased with your VIP card.

Sold my last 10210 Imperial Flagship for $730. It took all year and prior to the counterfeit version I was selling these for $850 easily.

The funny thing is a lot of the Xmas hoarding is done by mum's wanting to pay for Xmas by screwing other mum's lol

3 for 2 at Asda George. Just bought 3 x Class Xerions for £67 each delivered. Other stuff is available.

East coaster still awake, too. A few once-a-year, blow up the credit card deals here. https://www.toysrus.com/promotion?promoid=DC1promo770004

for the west coast folks, TRU has quite a few of things B1G1 50% off.

My First Order Transporters 75103 have been flying off the shelves the last week. I knew I shouldn't have left any for LegoMan1212 when they were on clearance for $28 at Target this past summer ?. Sales have picked up nicely these last two weeks and reaching the Top Rated Seller in the last month probably didn't hurt me either. Good timing!

Smyths cleared out the castles for £30, when the buy in is low even turds can make money. Hell i've even made money on the 1 and only Rebel Combat Frigate i've bought. That in itself is a miracle.

each other.

UCS Sandcrawler this weekend Looks great alongside other UCS Star Wars stuff Snowspeeder next weekend!

If anyone wants to dump at $17,99 I will buy

my advice is gtfo while you can. seller count has not dropped off. multiple sellers with double digits. sales rank has plummeted (#114). city fire station is more popular than this set (#100). with target showing stock, bn and tru in stores, amazon cannot be too far behind. make your $3 per set and drown your sorrows in nachos and beer. what will be devastating is when everyone has it in stock and there is price competition driving it to 27.99 like happened with bttf and exo. and then there will be tears.

I'm seeing free shipping on all LEGO . Just placed on order---decent parts included in this one.

Isn't it fee shipping on all LEGO right now?

Elves - always dragons, always dragons!

Thank you so much! You're a life savor!

I was up at 2am, received the SD alert, but checked and all prices were MSRP. They must have flipped again shortly afterward. My 4 hours of sleep was long enough to just miss it. This is not a drill! SONIC!

Japanese Temple by Hendratno Hartanto

I listened to this on NPR on my way home for work: https://www.npr.org/2017/12/05/568624246/grinch-bots-attempt-to-steal-christmas-by-driving-up-toy-prices This troubles me because a reseller might use a specific algorithm to track a product, but that does not mean that a bot will purchase thousands of that product once launched, leading to price/ product manipulation. There seems to be a pretty big disconnect between perception and reality. Nowhere in the article does it mention that most retailers put reasonable limits on online orders or that banning people, or I guess bots, occurs. Anyone got any Hamilton tickets?

Where? Or am I going blind?

Samsung Pay has TRU cards at 10% discount.....

i don't think anyone should be surprised by this , you could see it coming from a mile or 1.6 km

You said it succinctly sir I thought uk went out of being part of Europe or I am living in different world ?

Jamie, I believe this video will inform you of the number of bags/content....It should all be in the first 45 seconds or so.

...and City 60097. There were also 7 other retirements so far today but nothing significant I can see.

Good thing I ordered 10 for 39.99 each recently WOW! This will follow the success of Wall-E, I hope!

Don't be in a rush to invest in anything straight away unless you really know what you're getting into. Just stay on the forums, observe, and absorb.

Can someone post a better pic of the barcode ? That way it may scan easier ??? Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum

This, i am so glad my parents kept my childhood lego. Bout a month ago I finished the sorting, inventory and archiving of all my childhood sets and they are way more special than my current collection because they were the actual bricks i played with for countless hours as a child.

I don’t name them, I just report them. Just the opposite for me. Never in a million years would have I thought I’d get all those Superfriends minis. This is much better than 5 different Batsuits.
