Picked up a new foster cat from spca this morning. 2 yo tortie girl. She is a little spooked and has taken to the top shelf. Was friendly at the shelter so hopefully she comes around soon.

We just need Hippielego to return, then they can go back and have their epic slapfights.

I am still not convinced @joneyyy1981and @BorderTerrier isn't Tabbyboy just going back and forth with himself.

It's nice to have members who actually share what info they have. IMO, Constantly Razzing fellow members will slow the sharing flow. Members earn their trust and those words hold weight. It would be nice to have the member who stated SaturnV and Ninjago city returning was still talking about things but as they had no rep and what they were saying sounded quite troll, they were scared off maybe. I hope the badgering of some doesn't scare off others. This is one of the best communities on the net I've found so far. Parent style rant over:)

Yea you could say that. Came down about an hour ago all purrs and cuddles. Real sweetheart.

I didn't have time to take more pics this morning and didn't even look long enough to see the number change. I don't mind opening the shipper, what's the fun of collecting if you can't even enjoy the artwork.

I'd return them. They listed the incorrect product number and what's the point in having them now.

OMG pls stop. It's geographically impossible an island your size is large enough to fit two of you. Lurking for months and now suddenly 15+ daily me-centric posts with the constant eye winks, speaking in absolutes, doomsday scenarios, and 'secret' connections. Can we just get this over with and have you guarantee crypto will outperform LEGO in 2021?

I’m a little offended that Exciter and I might be the same person. More offended on behalf of Exciter than myself. But offended none-the-less.

Unfortunately your argument is flawed. If the only people you will believe regarding lego EOL dates is lego, then we might aswell shut down brickpicker. There are people here who have some more info / data than the average Joe, its not always correct, but it does provide some hints / tips.

And in 6 months you'll be kicking yourself for other reasons...

To all the people hoping fans will desire the original: Only morons would pay for a different number on the box.

My kids have been playing Among Us lately...but I have to say, this thread is far more entertaining!

Plenty. You just got one of the re-releases.

Kindness was the way to go!

mate. what you earn is your business. i hope you earn a million per week, I don't care, just stop with the secret society act, people in high places blah blah & trying to impress everyone with your part time returns.

Same part count, same box, exact duplicate. Sorry kids.

Well this has been an entertaining read! 😁 Surely sharing tips would encourage others on the forum to do the same? Therefore, creating an advantageous investing community, which is what probably draws people to such sites anyway? I don’t believe the competition is that fierce that the buying habits influenced by posts on this forum would negatively affect sales down the line, literally because of the 1000,s of buyers available. That being said, whether people post either opinions, genuine tips or just rubbish. All contribution makes a great read (y) 😁.

It looks like the set was produced in Mexico in September 2020.

lego and amazon already have a history of replacing an exisiting set with an exact remake. elsa magical ice palace (41148) had an identical remake immediately after EOL -> 43172. (deja vu) 43172 took over 41148's listing on amazon screwing all the 41148 resellers since you couldn't legitimately sell it under that listing anymore. you can look up the reviews on the current amazon 43172 listing and they go back to 2017 before 43172 was even released - because they took over 41148s reviews. i am not surprised at all if amazon just sticks the saturn v remake under the old listing with the new set number since they already did it once. just another slap in the face of resellers.

Fair enough, I understand not wanting to crack open a shipper in prime condition. Many of us are curious exactly what little changes, if much at all, will be on these new boxes. We'll get more and more info in the coming days I'm sure. Thanks for sharing!

When was that sale? This set isn’t available in store, only online, and I don’t remember any chatter here. A sale like that would have us talking. I don’t have any of these yet because I’ve also been waiting for a sale. Looks like I might need to buy a few at retail.

Please kind sir do elaborate

the next option is to chargeback through your credit card company. I would totally do this. AirBNB does not have a reasonable defense...and most CC are looking out for their members. If you want to give Airbnb 1 more chance.. you can first threaten Airbnb with a credit card chargeback of which they know they will likely lose and take a hit against their merchant services...you can negotiate a credit (for a future trip) so Airbnb does not lose the money nor have to use resources fighting Visa. Just NEVER ever initiate a chargeback and then cancel it on your end (no matter what Airbnb promises).

In general I am anti-bailout, however, this is a unique situation in that the gov't forced businesses to shutdown. In this instance I think it is the gov't responsibility to help those business that it forced to close.

Before this thread gets locked, can I just state here that I am sick and tired of Covid, riots, politics( both parties and candidates), the Russians, the Chinese, sports games without fans, Dr. Fauci, wearing masks, death counters, flies, excuses that things cannot be done because of Covid, NJ Governor Murphy, remote learning, bad bank hours, poor theatrical releases and having to use hand sanitizer 100 times a day. End of rant.

Speaking of Airbnb, we're spending the rest of the week and weekend in Mariposa, a town near Yosemite. We don't want to fly anywhere so this is our "vacation". We'll be spending the day at Yosemite on Saturday. I haven't been there in 20+ years and our kids have never been there. Can't wait.

FYI Zavvi is offering the Creator VW Bus and the Creator London Bus for $179.99 and free shipping. the promo code is USCOMBO

Are we fact-resistent? I'll repeat again. SAME BOX ART, SAME PIECE COUNT, SAME PRICE, DIFFERENT NUMBER. Did i forget something?!

Well, there was this: "I will say this again nobody except the really high up members of the lego group know which set is going or coming, they are heavily guarded secrets. These people wont be posting on brickpicker or any other forums as it wouldn't be worth there time to do so." There's a difference between not revealing one's source and not having a source. Please don't misunderstand me...I was not going for "I'm a superior being" in my last post...that was 100% abrasive a-hole. Two things here. First, you sure spend a lot of time responding to words that mean nothing to you. Second, there is a certain irony in you bemoaning people trying to put others down on the internet while trying to put others down on the internet...well done on that one!

Already showing great taste in LEGO sets...keeper

This might be the day to merge the Daily Deals thread with the Bubble thread

We're Curious to what changes were made if any to the box besides" Ideas" removed and number.

+1 Hoping he is okay as well.

In the highly unlikely event of somebody in the UK wanting one of these at RRP (£120 posted), send me a PM. I'm already sending one out today. BACS 50% upfront and 50% upon delivery. Mods.... Please move to classifieds thread if there is one, thanks!

i thought you was retired.

Believe me or don't, I don't care, but I'm not sure why you think I would lie about this. What would I stand to gain by doing that? I understand both responses. Even though only Lego's elite know retirement dates, some lesser mortals have access to retailer wholesale lists or can find out what's on them. That's where I get some of my "tips" from. Since we're all fierce cut-throat competitors on here, such information is privileged and I can't share it. I also don't want to be responsible if it's wrong or updated. Don't hold me to it, but my "intel" on the Beetle and T1 differs to consensus 😉

I work at a Fortune 500 company (100K employees worldwide: mainly in construction infrastructure [bridges, dams, and usually the tallest buildings in a skyline type of work]) we had an unexpected round of layoffs...I've been with them for almost 10 years so witnessed my share of layoffs...but all of them were , IMO trimming fat to better align w/ markets....this one though had my jaw dropping...we lost ACTUAL talent this time...I'm almost afraid to ask if so and so is still around... Other than a handful of companies that over weigh the rest of the market (Dow, S&P, and NASDAQ are super misleading)...the economy is taking a serious beating And the other shoe hasn't dropped yet...evictions & foreclosures. Fannie & Freddie are in a huge cash raising frenzy to survive the forthcoming tidal wave of foreclosures. Honestly think the pain of 2020 may be the "good 'ol days" this time next year.

What did you expect with creating a thread about voting? Seriously as this is a web site about toys. When I originally saw this thread, I thought it was going to be about Lego. E.g. vote on a favorite set.

It's safe to say the Saturn V is the biggest catastrophe yet. Forget a tumbler scenario! There have never been more people that bought so many of a particular set. What a flood. And worst of all: not everyone knows about this yet. Wait until LEGO officially posts something. The only positive is that this will without a doubt scare people. The negative: LEGO proves again how unpredictable they are now.

I fear all the believers that voting is "rigged" by the illusion of "faking it' or simple mistakes that were corrected or are being corrected. There are what 200 million votes available to those 18+. There are bound to be mistakes here and there but nothing of "significant" scale. It is sad to see Trump, personally, to continue this rhetoric about how "fake" it is. Yet it is the same voting systems that were used 2 years ago, 4 years ago, etc... with upgrades. But this is his prerogative, to sew doubt into the system so it can be contested. PS: hats off to all the volunteers, that I don't doubt will be dragged through the mud. PPS: Let's get along a little too. I'm tired of the left vs right BS. It's so incredibly stupid and more destructive each and every day.

I think a lot of teachers would disagree with you. Not everyone has money as their primary concern when it comes to career choice. Some also want to serve a common good. Take that crap out of here.

Thanks joneyyy1981. On the promobricks EOL page does the red dot mean they think those sets have stopped production? I think so but I'm not quite sure.....
