After working at my job and getting paid, my falcon was free.

Here's exciter on his way to Walmart for in-store pickup last week...

Picked up 7894 airport from a charity shop for a fiver, box was a bit faded. Expected the worst when I put it together this afternoon. To my amazement all present and correct mint with all three instruction books. Looks like it was built twelve years ago and put straight back in the box again, right result ??

Could you fix that 4th one from the bottom left corner.... it's screaming at me. (and since you're there, maybe the 7th one from the bottom left too, but that isn't too bad)

I just double checked my receipt from this past Thursday. I used a reward and my TRU card and both the 10% and the rewards coupon worked on Lego with no override needed.

I was looking for mainly the powerpuff team packs and Slimer

You can add E.T to that list. Just picked them up today.

he said B&M .. and despite his toiler paper buying habits, it doesn't stand for bowel movement rather brick and mortar.

Finally got round to buying the snowspeeder. Although a more accurate and detailed build with nice touches still prefer the original since I fell it’s more imposing since a bit blockier.

I may have underestimated this arctic Minecraft set.

So I wanted to see if I could build a set and I’m supposed to move my arm to get my elbow to loosen up (that’s where the break is). Pulled out a smaller set I hadn’t built yet. Not too bad. Used my bad wing to collect each piece from the pile to get it some exercise. Nice little build. Bought this totally for the Ugnaut. Might bust out the Destiny’s Bounty next.

In my defense , I told her she should have left earlier .. ??. Damage been done , any attempt to try to reclaim the garage is never wasted by her..

Little secret never believe numbered items...

Wow zero posts on this 12 in 1 masterpiece?(for $20). Phenomenal car build, with the door and convertible movements. The truck is a cool build too. Not to mention all the super sweet car designs made by users on utube. Also the Wheeljock transformer build is pretty rad I gotta say.

40236 - Romantic Valentine Picnic $6.99 TRU B&M

I was able to get these all for $85 total, can easily sell one and make my money back

wait wut? from which line did you considered my sentence to be implying that Poland is Western country. when I say Middle eastern I consider Poland where the demand in the toy market is tad different as from western countries such as Germany or UK where sets broadly cosidered to be HOT are not finding its final clientele in Poland... where nexo are going strong but in western countries are broadly considered to be non questionable "turd". you missed my point my Czech friend

I thought this was pretty good, ordered one for me [emoji16]

Yes, this set is looking like a good prospect. Just pray there isn´t a remake coming soon.

Good idea. It won´t be MISB then so you should pay less.

I would buy any slimer et or powerpuff girls for 4.00 plus pay the shipping they can have stickers or be removed entirely from the box.

If this is correct see the first video on the TRU insta page https://www.instagram.com/trubruhamburg/

You need to get out there and clean the car off and warm it up for her!

Amen. I don’t see how people make money that way. Unless they get free shipping or something.

Lego is excluded from 10% off Thursday’s. I want to say they started excluding lego in the fall last year.

Shhhhh, they’s good priced.

Don't forget your snowball protection!

Series 17, Batman Movie, and Ninjago movie CMF are all 2/$5 as well. It's been awhile since I've purchased from TRU. Is Lego still included in the Saturday 10% TRUTH discount?

Sold a Chima Fire Temple for $130 shipped (can't wait to offload these). Bought at half off. Sold a Coast Guard Patrol 60014 for $125 shipped. $50 buy-in. Now I need to get around to dumping the 15+ Nindroid Mechdragons that I have back from my rookie days of investing in LEGO when I would buy every set that was on clearance

Sold Davey Jones, found him in a load of random Playmobil we got at a charity shop, so no buy in. Really sorry to see him go. Sold for £55 on ebay, £44 profit after fees and postage.

FBA sales since last post: 1x 31041 Construction Vehicles for $36.99, buy-in of $2 1x 70737 Titan Mech Battle for $170, buy-in of $30 1x 41061 Jasmine's Exotic Palace for $68, buy-in of $13 1x 75092 Naboo Starfighter for $113, buy-in of $25

I broke my left arm a couple weeks ago (no cast, which has its +'s and -'s), so I hadn't built anything lately. But I picked up a Batgirl Batwing from Walmart for $5 for my 3 yo daughter, bc she likes Batgirl and likes to help me build. Wasn't very impressed with the build, it looks pretty cool for what it is, but there is a 2x16ish plate that runs down the middle of the bottom and makes it super unstable for the last 2/3rds of the build. I would have to hold it still with my one good hand while she tried to apply pieces and about every third piece it would slip and fly off the table.

Well, if we are going old school.... And no, I am not ashamed to admit GotG2 introduced me to the awesomeness of this song

Seems that's it for now. Visited quite a few stores today to see what's what on my stops to a few closing Toys R Us.... PP Girls (found at two stores in small quantities) Sensei Wu and Unikitty - about the same quantities of what ever was left for both of these at most stores Cain - Abundant (this could be the Bart of this wave) and Bart is doing about $12 on Amazon by the way Slimer and Doc Brown - When I found one I found the other (only saw them at 2 stores) A few stores had nothing. I felt a bit underwhelmed by the quantities found. The sticker is an obvious issue if for resale. I am having luck with the hair drier, but does require extra time to get it off just right and even then you will end up with some (not all) damaged packs. I wouldn't send them to Amazon, but I bet you'll get some classy sellers sending them in with a 1.99 sticker and all. SMH On a lighter note, found 5 Friends Heartlake Airports for 49.99 minty fresh at Toys r Us

Great build. Had not built a proper lego ship in about 20 years.

When stock predates the shelves they are stacked on.....

He´s still buying three digit sets....

So there is more money in the sticker sheets than the sets themselves for SH stuff. Interesting.

The way our portfolios are performing, it would be more accurate to see who is going to make a smaller loss.

That's not a bad idea.

I've decided to make a pause and ignore my crypto holdings for the month of February. Will look at the rates again after my birthday in March. Hopefully it will be on a more sunny side by then.

For people interested in just testing the waters without actually committing real money to it, you could try out this site: https://coinloop.io/ It's not an exchange, nor a crypto Wallet. It's just a Dashboard where you pick currencies, enter a certain amount, and let it track the value of it over time. This way you could virtually 'buy' certain crypto-currencies that you might have picked if you would have bought them for real, add them to your Dashboard portfolio, and then check every day how you would have done. It's not the first site to do this, but it's very easy and user friendly. Simple to create an account there and go.

I think you guys are reading too much in short term news. Over the last three years, Bitcoin has followed a pretty consistent pattern of value increase, where it drops early in the year, rises untill early summer, drops again and then peaks at the end of the year. This is probably just because it is an inefficient market and relies mostly on the human psyche and not on the broader economic environment. To demonstrate I made a picture comparison. I'm willing to back up this analysis with some crazy predictions for the upcoming year: - Feb to April: A peak somewhere around 25k - April to May: consolidation around 20k, maybe even drops to 15k - May to July: Another rise to 35k or even 50 - July to september: Drops back to 25k - September to December: A run to $100k This is surely not investment advice and I know it is likely I am wrong, but this is what I project and the reason I am only liquidating about 10% of my cryptos into fiat (making sure I have enough to live on if everything tanks). I do believe unexpected events can lead to incredible rises and incredible dumps, so if you later on shame me on this false prediction, I just did not see that one thing coming

My saying is "he who laughs first cashed in the most." I was one of the earlier ones to laugh. Bagholders on this won't be laughing, they're busy rushing out the door.
