It's hard to say. We're all too lazy to look up your set numbers and potential discount.

I am an original Star Wars fan from 1977, had many toys, trading cards, books, records, etc as a 6-12 year old kid from 1977-1983. I have an extensive vintage Star Wars collection that I have built since 1991. I think about Star Wars every day, the same way some men think about cars, sports, gambling, drinking, carousing, etc. We are Disney Vacation Club (time share) members and actually purchased vacation points at the Disney Boardwalk resort so we can stay once a year and walk over to the new Star Wars Land that is due to open next year. I am that invested in Star Wars. I have children who are 7, 10, and 12. The 12 year old is a huge Star Wars fan. The others like it but are not super passionate. I hate what Disney has done to the franchise so much, that I regret buying the Boardwalk points. I don't care about Disney Star Wars any more. The movie was terrible. What they did to Luke Skywalker was unbelievable and unforgivable. Many of us have waited 34.5 years to see Luke Skywalker on the big screen again, and this character assassination is what they gave us. I think I could forgive everything else. I could get over the bad science, the inconsistencies, the ridiculous plot, and the rest of this ridiculous movie if they would have done justice to Luke's character. I am done. What little TLJ merchandise that made its way into our house before we saw the movie is gone. There will be no more. No Legos, no other toys, no DVDs, no Halloween costumes, etc etc. We only went to the theater once instead of multiple times like we had with the other movies. That's 5 tickets x 2 or x 3 that Disney did not sell for TLJ, and will not sell for Episode IX or Solo. I don't give a crap about what comes next. What's more, my 7 and 10 year old are now completely disengaged from Star Wars. The movie was so bad that it lost them. My 12 year old did not like it. I had a car full of 12 year olds recently, and they all thought TLJ sucked. There are many, many people out there who simply did not like this movie. Do not believe the media BS that it's right wing racists review bombing the movie. I am a long time fan who is disenchanted with what they did to Luke and otherwise thought the movie was just, well, bad. BTW, my family is multicultural and multiracial. This is not a white male thing. If you liked the movie, good for you. If you did not like it, then do not support Disney Star Wars. Do not buy the DVD, do not buy the toys, do not go see Solo or Episode IX. That is the only way a change at Lucasfilm will be forced.

Finally, some news I can relate with.

First set completed out of a lot that managed to pull me back into bulk.

This is right after Rey and Chewie take off in the Falcon to go find Luke. I have no idea when they found time to change it from when R2 wakes up to when they leave, but they did.

I really had the phantom menace syndrom with this film. At first I liked it but as time grew on it aged about as well as a dog turd does in a microwave.

People who get easily offended really offend me .... There’s only 2 things I hate in his world- intolerance and the Dutch.

40306 - LEGOLAND Castle

A Summer In Tuscany by Pau Padrós, en Flickr Hey guys, just in case you're interested, this is a little modular MOC I finished a couple weeks ago. There's a whole album about it on Flickr. About its design, there's not much to say. Assembly Square's setup (48x32), only tuned up for a Tuscan/Emilia Romagnan little square (Firenze, Lucca, Piasenza, Modena, Ravenna etc.). I do think it's nice, hope you like it! It's actually the second modular I do that features yellow prominently, but here I believe it's used in a more balanced manner. Besides, I've tried to capture some of the summery details that are often hard to convey in Lego, for instance, the tree peeking behind the garden wall or a huge load of wisteria running up the side of the yellow building!?

Koelbel Building CU Boulder, Colorado by Imagine Rigney

I believe Brickset could help you. https://brickset.com/browse/minifigs/names

Found some of the new wave today: green power puff, adventure time, Hermione, Knight Rider, Bennie, unikitty, but in smaller quantities this time. If anyone wants these just pm me. Same offer: no profit, just a donation ($1-$3 per set will do) to St Paul school that I’ll make in your name. Disclaimer: I did have to round down a few pennies on your donations because the school’s website only allowed donations in whole dollars [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Built this today. 21123 - The Iron Golem Will keep the figs for the Halloween Town and throw the bricks into the bin.

That's the big question here. A mention on the slickdeal thread of Mission Impossible found at one store, but hasn't been confirmed by anyone else. Limited sightings of Aquaman. We are going into the 4th week of this now. Last year dimensions lasted about 5 weeks more or less and then stopped being restocked. In my neck of the woods (inland empire -20 mile radius I shop in - southern california) I'm not finding anymore Puff Team Packs, Slimer, Doc Brown, E.T or Sensei Wu. Quantities are small on Harry Potter Hermione and Marceline. Even smaller on Wonder Woman. Bettle Juice I find in some stores in good quantities along with the green puff girl. The Titan Pack is popping up in good quantities too. Still finding good quantities of Knight Rider, Chase and Unikitty (although that is changing at some stores) Other packs from last year, I hear pop in here and there but in small quantities...ie Benny, Nya, Jay. Some stores have not received much at all from the initial week. Either being bought by the pallet by some reseller/manager agreement or this is just limited to maybe 80 percent of the chain.

Brickheadz - Hockey Player (Detroit Red Wings) by jigsawjo

It was a good day for me for CL finds yesterday: 41037 Stephanie’s Beach House, NISB, $25 10211 Grand Emporium, Used, $100, Complete, no instructions. I was planning to sell this one but decided to keep it because I am impressed with this set. It is my first modular set and I really like the window washer, the skylight, the sign on top of the building and the chandelier! Since I am planning to build a city scene it will be an excellent start…

IT by Tim Lydy

i call bs on this(account was hacked), i personally know how difficult is to get ungated to sell Nike. Her story does not add up to me.

My only confirmation (Excalibur Batman) . Looking forward to Mr T & Bane, if true.

nope. no movie explanation. Just the comic book explanation (April, 2016).

So many plot holes............ lol.

I can get on board with this.

I’ve sold a set of modulars; 10197 FB, 10211 GE, 10218 PS, 10224 TH and 10232 PC. All 5 MIB for €1.350,- cash, local pickup. Buy in was €670,-, about 2 years ago. And with this sale I’ve met a couple of LEGO enthusiasts just like me which was also a lot of fun. During the conversation it appears they where searching for a couple of collectible minifigures which I had. So I’ve also sold them a Hotdog Man and Unicorn Girl (S13), Pigsuit Guy (S12), Banana Suit Guy (S16), Butterflies Girl (S17), and Chickensuit Guy (Easter version). All in closed package. I gave them the Hotdog Suit for free as a little thank you for the Modulars. I received an additional € 45,- for the other figs (buy-in total of €15,-). Grand total of € 1.395,-.

Called into a small toy shop which is closing down and had all Lego 40% off and still didn't buy anything. My expectations of discounts has become a bit skewed lately. They still had some TMNT and Ultra Agent sets.

Depends on the promo Depends on the discount Depends on whether you pay taxes at Amazon Depends on the depth of discounts at your local stores during clearance season There isn't a right answer and it varies from day to day.

41078 Skyra's Mysterious Sky Castle, sold for €120 cash. Buy-in was €60. And while I put the ad on "reserved" for the buyer, I already got a message from another interested buyer stating they'd be interested if the reserved buy wouldn't work out.

Yes, for some reason the 15% did stack. I paid $203.97 each (free shipping).

Lego (my personal) Market by Lego Ista

Since societal norms are changing drastically by the week, they need to stay flexible to avoid offending any unknown entities, while also being ready to show their full support for whatever the latest agenda might happen to be.

If that's true what Trevorrow is saying then it's pretty damning to Disney. When you watch the early press release stuff with Mark Hamill, it's clear he was un-happy with what they did with Luke in TLJ. He's done a 180 on things most likely because Disney is scrambling to write him back into the final film. To tie things together I think that's why he's being featured heavily in the home release marketing. He's the main reason people were excited about TLJ and it was a complete failure to treat his character with so little respect. Disney had one thing to do right with TLJ and that was to give fans a fitting send off for Luke Skywalker. Disney effed up so bad that not only did they not give fans the Luke Skywalker movie that they wanted but they totally neglected the new characters that we're supposed to care about. Except for Rose Tico. She was a failure on so many levels. TLJ bombed hard in China because Disney cynically thought just by including an "Asian" character in the movie that it would equal box office receipts. Heads should be rolling but since the film made just enough money worldwide it will take Solo bombing to see Kennedy fired. Looking forward to that.

Right. The OT borrowed a lot from other films and stories. But Lucas turned it into something new. And there was some stupid stuff even in Empire (the mynock cave). TLJ was just so bad. I would've even forgave the lame characterization of Luke Skywalker if the rest of the movie was great. Yes, the throne room scene was well done and I was even ok with killing off Snook (though it was handled poorly). But the rest of the film was just bad. The lame jokes, Luke tossing his lightsaber after the build-up in TFA, Canto Bight, twitch faced Benicio Del Toro (nobody even talks about him since his character was so irrelevant), Rose Tico, purple haired chick, Leia doing nothing after turning into Mary Poppins, Poe's regression as a character, Finn's complete waste as character (a step back from TFA), Rey being a nobody and acting like a nobody with force powers, recycled Hoth battle, slow motion space chase, running out of fuel (shouldn't be relied on as plot crutch in a Star Wars movie), BB8 driving an AT thing, Phasma showing up again and doing nothing again, Just for Men Phantom Luke handing off the gold dice to Leia (if he's basically a hologram that cannot be hit by a laser then how can he physically touch or hold something??? Is the Star Wars Universe one giant hologram then? Interesting to think about)..... and on. With all that said, I did like the cinematography.

It’s not an issue of just having little chuckle flaws. They all do. But New Hope didn’t recycle a previous Star Wars movie or take its characters into uncharacteristic paths like the past 2 have. These new movies’ main flaw is apathy. They’re not even trying to be new, just recycling the same formula like their Marvel cousins for the most part. This can only last so long before audiences get bored.

Built this today, I picked it up of of eBay fairly cheap with plans to build and keep it. Made it through 2 bags with my son before he started playing with the buildable figure.

Beautiful rendition of the Ford GT designed by the 1:8 scale super car king @loxlego My photos are crap, so if you want further info go here. This shelf is pretty much his shelf.
