Was in local LEGO store today due to double VIP pts for Black Card holders. Was surprised to see an Assault on Hoth (last one in stock) still listed at $175. For double VIP pts, 60th anniversary set and 30% off, I'll do that. Imagine my surprise when it actually rang up for $140... score!

Leave it to the community to get creative:

Seriously? What are you running, a box museum?

Just a quick shout out to the ebay sellers who miss a digit in their listings (6.95 instead of 69.95, etc) - yet still honor the deal (without questioning), while also packing well & shipping quickly.

Picked up a 75172 Y-Wing on clearance at Walmart today for $13.00

I debated putting it in the complaint thread, but I'm trying to be positive https://wtop.com/stafford-county/2018/02/stafford-co-man-arrested-1-8k-lego-scam/

ooh look Marvel's version of the tumbler ?

Found a redesign on reddit I like a bit.

The classic Castle theme is the same as your childhood's favourite chocolate. You have fond memories, but when you try it again as an adult, you recognise that it is just industrial waste, and don't want it again. Translating this analogy to LEGO, the classic Castle/Pirates/Space themes are very outdated by today's standards, and people realise this quite quickly. Time has moved on, and what was considered great back then is lacklustre now. What people really want is going back in time and relive memories, but exactly the purchase of these sets makes them realise that it will not happen, it is a fool's hope, and just makes them feel old. To cope with growing up, people are looking for fresh things. No wonder LEGO is at its best when it feels fresh, that is what people really want.

Thanks to whoever totally smooshed this box and made it possible for me to buy a $120 set for $30.

So if we post the photo it will be removed but if we make a thread about it it stays? (Noted) lol

Anyone who has ever had a boat or a dock knows there’s nothing cheap about either

Looks like the Black Seas Barracuda from the 60 Years of the Brick promo fits quite well inside the bottle, by just removing the top of the masts (with the flags): source: http://zusammengebaut.com/lego-ideas-schiff-in-der-flasche-mit-mini-barracuda-auf-dem-weg-nach-braunschweig-43515/

D2C set with estimated RRP around 160 euros and release probably in March or April seeing as the boxes are already available.

40235 - Year Of The Dog (promo)

Wierd. Just this morning I was looking at this set on BL. I have two of these sealed in my inventory and have been tempted to build both of them to make the "double version".

You did well. Very minor box wear.

Amazon refunded me £18 off of my DB, making this one £58.

Why wouldn’t it? Like flight to bonds, you should see it with gold and precious metals too. Fed needs to start raising rates though.

Too high, too early and a turd.

To be fair I've had this before with earlier promos and they always honoured it if 1p short, but required a phone call Whenever I've phoned Lego CS they've always been fairly reasonable. but getting amicable results by chat is harder and emailing lego CS is terrible. They take days to respond and replies take another while too, you also rarely get a good outcome on email.

In for 3

I left the colon out on purpose just to see if you’d change it.

Did a small carpentry job for friends in-laws as a favor. They gave me $150 Lego gc which I used on a ninjago city with 60yrs set a couple days ago. Today I went to the Lego store to get a sat v for me and the 2 seasonal brickheadz for my kids Easter baskets and another 60yrs set. Used $20 in vip points.

Bought mine this morning. I was #3 in line. [emoji897]

I believe the 76104 hulk buster will hurt 76031 so I unloaded all mine

It has a light brick for his power source that's pretty cool.

Love this, absolutely love this, but wasn't a UCS Hulkbuster an Ideas candidate already?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant! Also glad that i sold my last Hulkbuster Smash yesterday.

Which he bought the day before using his time machine

Newbies flippin 6 month old sets on clearance for $5 profit and Exciter be like, Das cute. I sell 4 digit lego ID sets.

When I´m lost, I use Alpine Maps too.

Don’t worry....it’s the search engine inside my head.

OMG, I just build the Valentine's Bee brickheadz - my first. It's so cute, and the bunny looks even cuter. I'm hooked, to a degree. I'll buy 2 or 3 of each, if I like them - one for me, one to sell. I find it... perplexing, knowing there are bricks in the center that we can't see, that aren't really doing anything, and are unusual colors... I think I'm going to have to do an alt build of some sort... I also love the new flowers - this is the first time I've had my hands on them.

Aah another sad prequels hater. Just bask in this comparision young padawan

It will go up again when they announce who is buying them or partnering up with them. Has anyone worked it out yet?

Last time I checked, I could login to PayPal account and withdraw any payment as soon as the purchase was made. Unless this new system allows me to access my money via thoughts, I do not see how this will be simpler than what we have now

The problem is the new film content is poor other than Rogue one perhaps if they did an old republic film or another decent TV series. The biggest problem I have is that the Sequel trilogy will never top the prequels for plot which is sad really.

LEGO Heroes Needed Event 10 February 12-2 at TRU. 40% off "select sets". No idea what those sets are yet. Just mark your calendars...

On another note that box design is spectacular. Very enticing.

Hopefully, I’ll be dead before everyone is walking around in bubble wrap. Everyone needs to grow thicker skin.

£75 before were Amazon Prime only offers. The major difference now is that it is (was) not Prime exclusive. And compared to Dutch RRP (€169,99) this is 50% off RRP (excluding additional shipping fee). I know it's likely that DB could well get a higher discount later this year. But it might also be another Prime only offer. Or the discount may pass by so fast I may miss it entirely. I don't mind building up a small stash of this terrific set already.

Yes, it has been 75 quid multiple times now on Amazon and it´s only 33% off UK RRP. I am sure you will get better deals with no buying limits closer to EOL. The Amazon offer is better for small time Euro resellers who have much higher RRP´s. If I was in the UK, I´d still want 40-50% off UK RRP to be safe.

Why didn’t they use the big box?

Greatest Lego set ever? Just sold one of my last few of these today, and I gotta say, no matter what the price, I feel like I'm going to regret selling them. I've only been in this game for about 3 years now, but still... I don't think any other set produced in the past 4 years compares to this one. It is nearly perfect in every way. It has great minifigs. It is an impressive, sturdy build. It looks great from all sides. It opens up for great play features, or alternate display. It is in and of itself complete. Sure it's part of a larger collection, but even standing alone, it doesn't really need anything else. Even at the current $375 - $390, it is a great value for the collector. If you don't have one yet, you really should get one. It is really one of the greatest Lego sets - maybe the greatest ever?

I don’t know enough about minecraft to really comment, but disagree on the Ninjago temple I think that has both AFOL and kid appeal, with both display and play value, as well as not having much to complete with it right now. (Although the cave set will likely complete for the kids attention as well as being cheaper).
