March 30, 2018. This is a date that will forever be remembered. I can get a little emotional at times. As an adult, there are a few instances when I've shed a tear. I cried when my son was born. I cried again a year later when my daughter was born. I cried tears of joy when my beloved Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl 31 after three decades of mediocrity, and again when they won Super Bowl 45. The last time I cried was two years ago this April when my Mom passed away. March 30, 2018. Today is another day that I've sobbed like a baby. Upon waking up for work, I checked my phone like I always do. Waiting for me was a PayPal notification. A large one. I checked my Bricklink account, and it appears that some blessed soul has decided that they needed some Steam Rollers in their life. Yes, some Steam Rollers. All of them. 27 to be exact. Gone. Purchased by an unknown person. A risk taker. A gambler. A guardian angel, perhaps? I began this saga with over 50 of those Steam Rollers. I'd sell one here, one there through multiple platforms, slowly chipping away at that number. I whittled it down to 27. Now I have 0. They are gone. The purchase price was just a shade over $1k. I'll make a few bucks on each one after the usual fees and shipping, but that's not the point in this circumstance. The nightmare is finally over. March 30, 2018 is my Independance Day.

U all are over thinking i . Just arrange a meeting 30 minute from his house for a more “reasonable” price . 2 minutes from “arrival” let them know you running late . Block account , drink beer .

“I’m on my way. Stupid traffic. I’ll get there as soon as I can.” “Dang it. I got pulled over for speeding. Will be 10 min late. “ “Now I got a flat tire. “ “Man, karma’s biting me in the arse. See you soon.” “Did you leave? Why didn’t you wait for me? I lowered my price for you. Wanted to have good karma and all, now you screwed me over. Do you have a soul?!”

Couple of new retirements:

Built this from my childhood collection. Had to BL a couple of plates, but man it sure brought back some memories. Miss you pops.

Rogue one finally done. Managed to squeeze in a few days before Easter break.

London bridge extension. Looks awesome but difficult to display now.

Be a good samaritan and pull them off the rack and toss them in the trash.

I would reply with "What do you know about Karma? I lost my job last month, my mother died unexpectedly over Christmas and my wife is terminally ill. I needed a break. Think before you judge. To make up for your brash statements you can buy my Assembly Square for my asking price plus $100 in emotional damages.".

Got a bunch for jewelry. First come first serve. Need more BrickPicker grills.

I think the Laval Chima Dimensions Fun Pack can run circles around Jyn Erso. Saw at least 200 in the electronics section of my one TRU that has been closing since Feb. They "only" had 50 Jyn Ersos.

Hahah Guys you can't even imagine the shitstorm that is going on in Poland because of this leak. Friend of mine is working in that store, and oh my god... ZEUS is casting thunders from the sky. It's not a brand store but Franchise store so they are covered with different T&C as a partnership. Person who placed this on the shelf replaced senior associate who went to his hometown beacuase of Easter. Replacement person read the note left for here to "supply shelves with Collector Series sets Star Wars" so she followed the instruction from A to Z. LEGO completely went furious, called on red line owner of the store and right now there is an absolutely Armageddon I've reached a guy who saw this in person and he was about to buy it because 2 sets were sold that day. He went to groceries and wanted to come back to get this set but it was pulled from the shelf already. Poland Stronk! Imagine for how much this set could go right now on ebay. Price could probably ashame Signed boxes of Millennium Falcon. some say on reddit that's an obvious fake etc. but it's not. It's legit.

Vigilante Brickpicker! I like it!

Damn, who are we going to make fun of for overhoarded Superheroes sets now? A major talking point of this site has been erased, I feel a bit hollow right now.

You guys can all take a sigh of relief and sleep well tonight. I just picked up my order from Target and am now in the possession of 1 minty fresh 10255 Assembly Square. Thanks all for the well-wishes, the prayers, the crossed fingers and the fruitbaskets. It worked.

I don't think this guy knows how Karma works. Who is exhibiting petty jealousy and judgemental behavior, and who has liberated profit from the big bad corporation and given it to the little guy? I'll take Robin Hood level Karma any day! ??

You forgot to mention you shipped "free promotional soul with purchase."

Just picked up 2 out of 3 Death Stars in my ship-to-store order.

Sold 3 Death Stars pretty quick. Should clear about $400 each.

Stepped into the time machine and found 3x 44029 Queen Beast v. Furno, Evo, and Stormer, and 1x 60035 Arctic Outpost at 25% off RRP. All have R4 seals.

This is probably one of the best posts I have ever read on here. Well done, sir. Well done.

Yep, just need to use the EBay App. Great deal for someone buying Death Stars.

I know I have at least two. Now I have more than Terry. [emoji15]

Found another small cache of clearance at another Kmart. 2x Bells Enchanted Castle 2x Anna’s snow adventure 2x Snow Resort Ski Lift 1x Capture of Sophie jones 1x The Fortrex Broke it down into 3 transactions. Used a $30 off $50 free cash (ski resorts) $10 of $70 coupon (castles, Anna’s, and Elves) $33 in points (Fortrex) Total: $109.86. I love Shop Your Way.

I thought I heard a roar in the distance. Just be sure not to cry too hard till the 180 day paypal chargeback period has expired. Meanwhile, you could make an extra buck or 2 in referral fees by selling the buyer´s contact details to a psychiatrist.

Could of been worse. Could of gotten this after order confirmation page.

It was a lot of fun to build, much more sturdy than 10179 from what I remember. I have the stand from Wicked Brick, I'll get it mounted tomorrow and get a picture with it. It's going to take 2 people to do it since you have to take a couple landing gear off for the mount. I'm not imagining a scenario where something doesn't fall off in the process. I still have a sealed 10019 Blockage Runner I bought to build but have not had the balls to cut the seals yet. I really need to come up with a proper display space for the UCS sets as they are on the basement entertainment center which works, but a nice, lighted display case would really be nice.

Registers are spitting out Freecash coupons again. Got a $7 one on a $0 OoP spend today. Valid as of 4/8. EDIT: I mean the physical cards that go with a printed out receipt ....

Welcome to the Grid folks. The designers were in their early 20ties or so. Nice blokes tho. I had to wait in queue about 2h to get this set signed. Masses of people were hoarding like crazy. The old fishing store hasn't received such recognition like this set hands down. This might be an indicator for TLG in the future... Oh - it's my 1000 post here, anniversary time

Ladies and gentlemen, watch out when selling these Target price error sets. Your soul is on the line... if you still have one of course.

Good news

DD completed and added to the collection. Certainly not my favorite modular, but at least it was an enjoyable build.

Ahem.

Early release SW UCS sets do not do very well , not that I have experience or anything...

Walmart Customer Service MANAGER Raveonne: "Can I help you?" Me (Handing her the mouse, USB insert, and receipt): "I'm hoping I can return this. I don't have the packaging, but it just doesn't work right at all." Raveonne (Turning the mouse over multiple times like it's the first time she's ever seen one of these fantastic pieces of technology and then taking the USB insert): "This goes with it?" Me: "Yeah" Raveonne: "Do you have the packaging for it?" Me: "No, I don't have the packaging." Raveonne (Still gazing in wonder at the dysfunctional technology bestowed upon her): "Huh. Well, if you can go find the number..." Raveonne: "This is the receipt for it?" Me "Yes, that's it." Raveonne: "Is there a reason you are returning it?" Me: "Like I said, it doesn't work, it's all messed up..." Raveonne: "Huh" (She turns it over a couple more times). From here on she semi-competently scans the receipt, asks me if I have the Visa I used to pay, enters the item number for the return, says "that's weird, it don't take it" twice (once before and once after slowly, methodically reciting each number out loud as she emphatically presses the corresponding key), then mysteriously tells me "Ready for your card" and processes the refund, takes a piece of clear packing tape and completely mauls it while trying to tape the mouse, USB insert, and receipt together, and after laying it in a heaping sticky pile, finishes with "Have a wonderful day." I'm so confused, I don't know whether to be upset at her and her employer for the complete lack of listening skill displayed by someone in this position, impressed and happy that my return was accepted without original packaging, dismayed at the void of common sense within this individual, or mad at myself for keeping it in my brain this long.

Brickset has an article up with the picture for those that want to check it out.

Grandmas/parents that don't know what is going on with TRU will buy them for gifts and then realize a few weeks from now they are worth nothing. Stores should pull these now.

I mean I don't want to have to call you crazy but we kinda knew it already...

My Disney Castles arrived today. Haven’t opened the boxes yet, but they look good so far. ??

Despite good deal there is a threshold. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

The Death Stars have landed. Nice to see the shipping box is not the actual LEGO box as alluded to by Target.

Just got back from TRU. $177 Porsche and other goodies. Good day.

Missed the really really good deals at Target this morning. However, I was able to snag two Destiny Bounty for $99 each. When I went to pick up at my local store they still had one more on the shelf (although website said their inventory was zero). I took that one up to customer service and asked if they would price match the $99 price of the two I was picking up (by this time the price was back up to regular retail). They were nice enough to price match. Picked up two Batman Knight Crawler as well for $20 each. Bad thing was they slapped pick up labels on my Destiney boxes. I got 95% of the residue off with a hair dryer and some eyeglasses cleaner. =(

I don't see why TRU has a problem with this guy. He learned this technique from them. Check the TRU warehouses, they have millions of dollars of products they haven't paid for either.
