I spent the day with my favorite mini-fig building the Palace Cinema in these sweet new matching shirts!

Yeah, but this time they’ll be profitable.

That is the way I understood it, too. The promotion is to get people to buy, not reward those who wait to pay for what they already bought.

Not Lego but my son wanted to do the Kinetic Foam gift he got for his birthday. I tried my best and this was the result. Lesson learned: Don't buy Kinetic Foam as a gift unless you hate the parents. LOL We both laughed so hard with the end result even though we were frustrated while doing it.

Actually I heard it was going again. Better start stocking up. You’ll want 200 of these. It’s a sure winner.

Still 50% off today.

Hehe

That's been my experience in recent times. I used to exploit that loophole myself, but for me, it's been closed for at least a year I'd say.

It turns out tomorrow will be the day to send the monies.

Target has the sets up on their site stating that they are coming July 1st. https://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=harry+potter+lego

If you have to discount sets down under by close to 50% - the set's an overpriced turd. Target in Oz has been discounting the Classic Batman Cave, AoH and the UCS Tie Fighter to $199 - before any coupon "magic" at regular intervals for over a year. This is by no means a complete Star Wars list, but any parent who has bought one of these sets and then sees the discounts 3 - 6 months down the track in a Big W / Target /Kmart / Myer / DJ's even Mr Toys catalogue is going to feel ripped off. 75177 First Order Heavy Scout Walker RRP$100 disc to $55 75189 First Order Heavy Assault Walker RRP $230 disc to $99 75098 Assault on Hoth RRP$400 disc to $200 75180 Rathtar Escape RRP$130 disc to $80 75148 Encounter on Jakku RRP$90 disc to $55 75095 TIE Fighter RRP$300 disc to $200 75152 Imperial Assault Hovertank RRP60 disc to $35 75182 Republic Fighter Tank RRP$45 disc to $29 75141 Kanan's Speeder Bike RRP$60 was a pi$$take. When you feel you've been ripped off that bitter taste lasts quite a while

Father's day build: Managed to build the entire Silent Mary yesterday in between helping with 1mo twins. 3yo helped with minifigs. Pretty cool set. Was too late to the game to compare to QAR or BP.

In the note that says the listing is over, the word listing is hyperlinked and will take you to it. It's a pain in the butt, but you can still get to that listing if you want to. I don't like that it takes you to a similar listing, but you can find the original.

Built 75933 T.rex Transport today. The T-Rex may look a little bit weird because it's still sealed as I'm not going to keep it. The truck is quite nice but I'll try to exchange some of the black parts for dark blue if possible. I love the Zia Rodriguez minifigure, and can see it being a normal citizen in any LEGO town or an employee in a natural history museum. And the baby dino is cute.

Mueller visited the stands before his match with Mexico. Oh and apparently he got his head shaved somewhere in the last 24 hours without telling me.

Huge haul yesterday!

Yesterday's scraps

In Ohio

RIP Baby Raptor...

Last 2 days I picked up on offer up 75192 falcon $400 sealed (box not in great shape) Then 7930 bounty hunter gunship & 7675 at-te both in factory sealed boxes- both for $115

Just built Ninjago City and what a treat. Great aesthetics, impressive size, and the build itself was great once you got past the baseplate work. With all the different rooms and levels to build, and all of the great detail of the interior and exterior of the city, it was one of the most fun builds I've done in awhile. My compliments to the designers - this one is really cool and now I can't wait to get the Ninjago City Docks set.

Shop exclusive.

May want to invest in one of these if your collection is large. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001J4ZOAW

Arrived at home to this from ebay. Label stuck to the side. The conversation has been even better. Worth the price of admission. Someone is about to receive their SNAD wakeup call.

Swung by two stores for giggles this afternoon, only actual LEGO left are buildable Jyn Erso's (lots), and polybags. Also, both stores Thur/Fri had about the same size Dimensions stuff remaining (a lot) - And one store was completely wiped out, the other still had basically everything left. So even at 70% off this stuff isn't moving which... Doesn't bode great for packs in the future, but we shall see. First time really, seeing the stores so empty and condensed I kinda had a tinge of sadness over the whole thing. Certainly the end of an era. Interestingly, both stores have different closing dates, one is Wed next week, the other is Fri next week.

Thief: Amazon! This set was full of rocks! Amazon: OK LOL, have it for free and we'll charge the seller Thief: Offerup, $400. All profit!
