Every time I saw the coaster tracks in the 60228 Rocket & Launch Control I felt a space- themed rollercoaster would be fun. I MOC'd these coaster cars to align somewhat with this year's space theme. I've got a long way to go on this project but it was fun to have these cars finished.

city harvester transport in stock on amazon for $21.99. was going for more than twice that before it came back in stock. https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Vehicles-Harvester-Transport-Building/dp/B07GVRBTT6/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=60223&qid=1576768903&sr=8-2

Do you drive a Supra?

I'm way more excited for the next episode of the Mandalorian than I am episode IX.

The old man and I at the Packer / Bear game yesterday. Since Shopko is dead and we can't sling Friends sets out of my trunk in their parking lot anymore, we've resorted to dealing before and after Packer games while tailgating at Lambeau Field. Pro tip...save your duds for after the game. It's amazing what people buy when they're drunk. So long Worriz Fire Bikes & Angry Birds, hello profit! By the way...da Bears still suck. GPG!

I mean he took off his goggles before he fell down, how bad could that be? (He had them on when riding swiftly, but those were back on his forehead when he was on the ground) First time I saw Deathtroopers earning their names

Agreed awesome episode. What a Baby Yoda flex episode. We probably rewound to watch him trying to fly the ship like 5 times, my kids were howling. And when it tries to force choke Cara Dune that was incredible. Really solid cliffhanger!

Set it up so it will automatically open non paying bidder case after 4 days. They have 3 days to respond (I think, it has been a while), but once the deadline passes you can ask eBay to close the case and return the listing fees back to your account. Then you can move on to the next higher bidder. This is the (official eBay) way

Suspenseful you mean. Just wait until the kid wakes up and force chokes all the troopers. Shame he isn't Rey's child, I'm sure he'd be shooting lightening at all of them.

My "wishful" prediction is that the Blurrg took the brunt of the trooper blaster fire. His many human lifetimes sacrifices can't be all in vain???

It’s hard to get customers to read the description. I usually put “incomplete” or “damaged” as needed in the title section to protect myself.

new sets are up. all winners. baby zombies riding a pig. awwwwwwwww. https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/minecraft

Walmarts seem to be fairly well stocked on them so I'm hoping for some markdowns after Christmas.

There is a second season coming next year... With that said, I'll be keeping Disney+ for a while. My daughters and I are in for SW and Pixar, Disney for them and Marvel for me. If the new Obi-Wan show is anything like Mandalorian, I'm fine with never going to the theatre for new SW content.

This sums up the main problem with Disney trilogy:

Yeah this is super annoying, i rarely if ever do bids anymore because of people like this. It's especially worse if its an item you need to flip quick. What Darth_Raichu said is really the only option you have. Can't do much until ebay has closed the case. If you do anything before then, and they magically pay at the last second allowable, your're the one in trouble What i have had success with in the past is very politely asking the buyer if they are having any issues with payment, or if they changed their minds and they can cancel their order at anytime no hassle. If you make them feel ok with their mistake/buyers remorse or whatever it was, they may be more inclined to admit they do not want the item anymore and cancel, thus allowing you to get the item listed again ASAP.

I thought 75099 rey spender would have done alot better than it has, this ones a loser

wild. not every store, but multiple so not a fluke

I was able to snag one in the wild at 50% off. It was at one Wal-Mart out of six I went to.

I’ve been doing the same. Just picking one off here and there. Same with the 75884 Ford Mustang. They seem to be sold out a lot of places, but keep going in and out of stock for $11.99 at Target. When they notify me that they’re back in stock I buy one or two. Bought a couple of each this morning

Thanks for sharing!

I have a feeling this is one of those sets that’s “everywhere” until it’s not. At $11.99 I like it - short production, low price, potential. I’m definitely grabbing some, not arm sweeping, yet...

yes, you can find some sales in wmt, target and even costco...i see no problem. Great sales on Jurassic thats what i am doing lots of potential for all JW sets

Too close to Christmas. People buying now are desperate, why would they discount anything? Went by Target this morn. Lego isles were pretty wiped out.

So RoS takes place within one day just like TLJ? So let's get this straight, an entire year has passed between TLJ and RoS and everything eventful takes place within just two days. That just sounds ridiculous. Furthermore, it used to take days in the Star Wars universe to travel to other planets. I guess that no longer exists either.

Watched it tonight, I liked more than I disliked. Pretty much the opposite feeling than I had for TLJ. There are still a few parts I don't like, but I guess I'll have to live with it. The pacing is frenetic, so to do this story right it should have been 2 movies instead of one. It's just non-stop, jumping from planet to planet, over a short period of time. I wish it would have taken place over a few weeks, rather than all within a day.

A few partial star wars sets in these pics: 8017 vader tie; 7674 V-19 Torrent. There is an AT-TE in there but I can't tell which one from these pics. Same for the Naboo starfighter (yellow and grey) - can't tell which version.

Dang you Frozen gate that I was not informed of until my inventory was in transit to Amazon warehouses! I’ve had to settle for selling on eBay. Not nearly as good, but still making decent profit on a bunch I bought for $11 from Walmart clearance.

A few other sets from Walmart with the $10 gift card: 75241 Star Wars Combat Action Battle @ $47.99 76125 Avengers Iron Man Hall of Fame @ $47.99 70422 Hidden Side Shrimp Shack @ $40.00 75958 Beauxbatons' Carriage @ $39.99 Strangely enough if you look up Iron Man Hall of Fame on its own the listing that comes up does NOT offer the $10 gift card. But if you search the phrase "Lego Walmart Gift Card", then refine the search to "Toys" the listing for the set then appears, but with an error picture of War Machine Buster above the listing (see 1st. picture). But when you click on the link it then shows Iron Man Hall of Fame correctly, but with the $10 gift card available. Not sure how great a deal it is, or if it will even go through after checkout, but if you've wanted this set and have been waiting for a little incentive I figure it is worth a try. https://www.walmart.com/search/?cat_id=4171_4186&grid=true&query=lego+walmart+gift+card

Mindstorm set for $245 at Walmart. LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 31313 Building Set (601 Pieces) http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-MINDSTORMS-EV3-31313-Building-Set-601-Pieces/25582157

Actually my wife and I wanted Disney Plus for the Loki storyline that is coming out next year. The Mandalorian was the only reason we got it now.

That is *not* ok!

YOU SAID THERE WAS GOING TO BE ONLY 4...

Why is this a good deal? Its a non retiring set at 50% off? Give it until next christmas and you can buy it outright at that price

Oh boy.

That's great. Now if only Amazon allowed me to send mine in ... I had to pull my Christmas inventory due to the gate.

The whole debacle bothers me as a programmer . The lack of any programmatic control/rules around using it. It would take a developer a couple days to stop that from ever happening. Similarly the terrible job they did cancelling orders (should have taken under an hour to hit production). They should have a database with a column for coupon codes and a column for status. Select all, update to cancelled. I've considered hiring a team and doing contracting for anti re-seller software measures. Part of me thinks the business's are trying to toe the lines. Let us have a little but not too much. Other part of me thinks they are idiots bogged down in bureaucracy and lack an understanding of technology.

Thing is Lego doesn't need to do anything to keep customers like us happy and they know it. I'd wager the vast majority of the orders placed with that code were from resellers and they could give a f*** whether we're happy or not. They could take a dump on us and we'd still be showing up for the next GWP or sale. If this kind of things gets under your skin, maybe Lego reselling isn't for you. I can't count the number of times over the years that things like this happened. You win some, you lose some...no point getting pissed off about it.

I don't know where else to post this, but I had an ah-ha moment while reading an article (from July 2018) about Ant Man and the Wasp re: Feige and how the MCU was putting movie story arcs together. The director for Ant Man and and the Wasp was quoted as saying, "… I know everyone is talking about or writing about, "When is the superhero movie fatigue going to set in?" And it could be any time. That's every director's fear. "Oh, it's going to be my movie." But nobody is more painfully aware of that than Kevin Feige and the people at Marvel, which is why you want to do something different. They encourage idiosyncrasy. They want [the films] to be very specific and very different from each other." https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ant-man-wasp-michelle-pfeiffer-had-be-convinced-join-1124434 Somewhere I remember reading that Kathleen Kennedy was trying to follow Feige's model of getting new directors to do different things and make their movies and story lines "theirs". I recall Rian Johnson saying those were his instructions as well. In the MCU I think that has worked well for each Character's story, but the MCU didn't do that "within" the Character's storylines themselves. Iron Man has one feel, Thor has another, Guardians of the Galaxy yet another, and Ant Man has yet a different one again. Bring them together and you have Avengers - another feel altogether (although there have been different directors for the Avenger's movies). But within the MCU character's movie each has the same "feel" (except The Incredible Hulk (2008 - Edward Norton) - which many of us forget is actually part of the MCU). Star Wars is a continuous story with the same characters (think Avengers). They could have their own adventures but I think most of us agree the Solo movie isn't where Disney messed up. Solo may not have been great, but it wasn't horrible either (thanks Ron Howard). I wonder how Solo would have done had it been released before SW VII (where they out-of-character killed Solo as a sacrificial lamb). The problem is SW VII stretched the plausibility of the main story (and insulted our sensibilities with DS 3, trench run, etc.), but we were all willing to see where the story was going. Then SW VIII derailed the story all together by taking Luke and a lot of other things/people out-of-character. Now SW IX has the near impossible task of not only entertaining us with a story that many no longer care about, but to also make sense of a story-arc from SW VII and SW VIII without doing a mea culpa. That is a tall order. Seats are still available opening night at all theaters around me.

Well, one could argue that the lack of respect began way before Disney came into the picture...Jar Jar Binks and Hayden Christensen weren't exactly beacons of cinematic brilliance. Nothing will ever live up to the originals because we're not the kids anymore that we were when we saw them the first time around. Nothing will ever compare to seeing ANH in the theater when I was 5 or standing in line to see Empire or that sinking feeling of emptiness when the credits began to roll at the end of ROTJ. But, you know, I don't give a f^&*...2.5 hours spent in a theater watching the SW universe is a heckuva a lot better than most other ways I could spend those 2.5 hours.
