Bought the 10247 Ferris Wheel today on CL for $70 complete with instructions. Will add the power functions to it!

Walked into a local toy store and found this (damaged) pretty beat up (and repaired with tape) box in the clearance section: Couldn't leave it behind.

Build one of these Saturn V things. Very enjoyable and satisfying build.

Yay, made my first ever sale through Bricklink! A RRP €30 Lego Elves set, bought for €20, sold for €75 including shipping (to Denmark).

My ‘Original UCS Falcon, escaping from Docking Bay 327’ enshrined in a coffee table now complete.

Went to Target last night and found an Assembly Square on the clearance shelf. The box which is really in good condition, has a sticker marked as a repackage and priced $196.01. It's kind of unusual, but not unheard of. What was more amazing was the other 3 Assembly Squares, 5 Assault on Hoth (75098), 7 Big Ben (10253), a few Snowspeeders (75144), a Technic Porsche 911 (42056), a Kwik-E-Mart, a couple of other large technic sets, and about 20 Silent Mary's (71042) on the shelves in the store. I was stunned, and amazed. And yes, I did take the "repackaged" Assembly Square.

Yeah here’s what’s wrong with that. Obi-wan and Yoda went into hiding with a purpose and mission for fixing things. Luke became a whiny little beyatch with no plans for anything but expiring like old cheese. Lame

^ im sure im not the only one who read it as Pog

None of the above

Looks ok, now you just need 100 of each.

So here's the thing that bothered me about Luke (in addition to the poor writing in general, poor characters and lame humor): Luke Skywalker, the guy who sensed the good in the second most evil man in the galaxy, who was a mass murderer and hunter of Jedi, and wanted to turn him back to the light side of the force, and might I add, succeded, gave up on his nephew, the son of his best friend and his sister, after he sensed a little darkness in him, and wanted to kill him instead of trying to guide him to the light side. We waited 35 years for this. It's not a problem that we turn our focus on the new characters and such, but it was done in a bizarre and insulting way.

The dumbest expectation is the Death Star retiring so this can replace it.

Based on comparisons between TLG and TFA just going to leave this here.

Just built this now, it's pretty cool and I'm going to put it with my other ucs sets even though it doesn't have the label simply because it's cool and other ucs sets haven't had the label before this one so...

pretty good deal on (supposedly) retiring minecraft set though seller count is bloated for now. not sure who amazon is price matching.

I'll put this in the vault, thanks.

I am pretty sure most fans are not upset they tried something different. We don't like the movie because it is terribly written and it was a sequel to spaceballs.

Built the docking bay 327 which will be the new home of my recently purchased 10179.

Finally...

Ordered mine just before Christmas when Lego had them in stock. I couldn't find any photos of what shipped 75192 looked like. Fedex delivered mine on 12/30/17 without damage. Including a photo of the 75192 shipping box in case anyone is interested.

This set (and 60102) look to be the pick of the 2017 City retirement offering. Not many sellers and buy-in prices already at RRP+.

Maybe the staffer at BWI2 who has been stealing your shipments is feeling guilty, and has secretly been covering up his tracks by recording every item as a sale in the backend? ;-)

Probably online orders for store pickup that were never picked up. If not then returns with receipts.

Winter train now retired as well. will this be resurfaced next October? How did they treat the winter train at EU SaH last year?

Thanks! In for 2 more

EU retired.

There are a lot of talented builders out there no doubt. The IDEAS theme has only scratched the surface. One of my favorite parts of this site is when The Orc King posts in this thread...

I'm digging the idea pictured above.

I think his expectations are too high. I'm afraid LEGO will cheese out and not finish the set the way it needs to be...even at $500.00.

TRU had them priced at $164.97 in July.

That´s why Fast and Furious is so successful. They make the same movie a hundred times over and just change the actors one at a time. The one time they tried something different (Tokyo drift) it tanked.

And even at Amazon, retired sets come back into stock too - sometimes months afterwards. I snagged a Mystery Machine a month back, for instance. February is a great month for that as many companies do their external auditor supervised inventories and "find" new stock.

There could be some playing around with stock to drum up business, but some of it is just poor inventory management and second rate technology. LEGO is no Amazon.

I don’t really get the hate tbh. Sure there were unlikeable elements (Leia’s space swim, the whole casino section) but on the whole it was a rip roaring space adventure in the tradition of the series. It felt fresh and unpredictable. I liked Luke as a grumpy old man who’d lost his confidence and faith. I liked Kylo killing his master to replace him (it certainly didn’t go the way I thought). I liked the tension between Hux and Kylo and how they both kept making bad decisions. The Force Awakens was criticised for being a tired rehash of A New Hope and The Last Jedi is criticised for being too different so maybe it is impossible to please everyone.

I think that you are misreading why Amazon put the gates in to begin with. Amazon doesn't care about where Lego sellers get their product...Amazon just wants to make sure that it is authentic and that people selling Lego on their platform aren't scammers who will erode confidence in their marketplace. The scam sellers not only hit Amazon's reputation, but they cost Amazon money due to returns. Amazon put the gate in as one way to ensure that anyone seeking to sell Lego on Amazon is a legit seller and isn't a scammer. However, Amazon is also smart enough to know that there is no sense in throwing the baby out with the bath water so they grandfathered sellers with established track records of selling Lego. They did that last year when the gates first went in, but then expanded on their "grandfathering" this year by allowing sellers who meet certain unknown metrics to get automatically ungated for a wide variety of gated products. At the end of the day, Amazon wants quality sellers on their platform and will allow quality sellers to sell almost any product that the brand manufacturer hasn't instituted strict brand controls over once they have a proven track record.

Yep, I think standing up for your rights as a seller shouldn't be something that is questioned, no matter the size of business.

local Tesco is going through some reconstruction in January so they are fire selling everything inc Lego for 50% off, someone posted a photo in our Lego FB group so I rushed in but every exclusive was gone (they had Porsche, TB, BigBen, Par. Restaurant, Detect Office or Bucketwheel of what I remember), so I grabbed last VW Beetle and some friends Grand Hotels, minecraft Fortresses, ninjago Dragon's Forges and bunch of Louvres and Buckinghams

Think I should buy more water dragons.

Winter village and north pole.

Update...Melanie at the lego Group looked up my account # and Saw my Card being Printed in Germany and should get here before Christmas? If not to call after New Years and go through the Process again... sheeesh

Well, I’ve been quite busy for the past 6 months or so…but I have been slowly piecing together and building a train terminal that I purchased the instructions from on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Station-PDF-instructions-MOC-Building-City-Modular-/152374747648?hash=item237a3e2200). I also did some modifications and customized it a little bit by adding a comic shop and a small convenience store (with stickers from Brick Builders Pro (http://www.brickbuilderspro.com/). It was quite the project and I just finished it, so I thought I would show some pictures to you all. I had some help sourcing some of the parts from my local Bricks and Minifigs store. There are around 12,000-13,000 parts to the building. Eventually I plan on adding a 60051 High Speed Passenger train or two and doing some more changes/modifications to it….but I am going to save that for a later date.
