I may have mentioned this before - they heavily courted the SoCal AFOLs then passed over all the folks with LEGO talent and went with personalities that would make good TV. So don’t expect the show to be about amazing MOCs or build technique. It’s about competition and drama. And a smashed LEGO creation or two. Interestingly, Jamie Berard is one of the judges (see interview on BrickSet) and he is one of the uber-talented formerly AFOL now Master Builder and also has a great personality. I do know a couple of the contestants (I don’t know who won though) so I will definitely be watching. Should be pretty entertaining.

Sounds like that is more likely a 5-finger discount.

Yep. Last year, I met up with a gal to buy a SOLO Millennium Falcon. Asked if anything else I wanted, because "she could get any currently available set at Walmart" and sell for 50% off. Said her boyfriend or son worked there and got a great employee discount.

Walmart has 10243 Parisian Restaurant for list price $159. Only 6 left. https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Creator-Expert-Parisian-Restaurant-10243/34228382

Facebook marketplace is an interesting case study on how easy it is to steal Lego from retailers.

I don't know about that. There were too few available. It will at least hold it's current value. The mini batmobile has held 80-90 and there were tons more available. Can ManU beat Batman?

Happy Returnuary! The month in which I bend over and take it like a champ.
