Seems the next 18+ car or whatever they’re called now will be the Porsche 911. https://www.brickfanatics.com/is-lego-creator-expert-10295-porsche-911-coming-in-2021/ and a Shite pic attached

11k? Lego sets are getting too big. I assume a model something like the 10143 instead of another playset. Here is a leaked proto pic 😉

not sure Fossils is truly retiring. not on promobricks list

Sounds like an emazers plan, just substitute haunted busts for haunted lego.

if you want 1000 units, you gotta start early. I am working on a business venture , real life haunted attraction made from Lego . Scalping Selling tickets at a premium. .

with the clear popularity of the botanicals...the time seems ripe for LEGO to venture into the world's great Parks and Monuments...Yosemite and Tunnel View would be epic (and heaven knows there's tons of LEGO RV sets to complete the picture...or Grand Tetons...that silhouette alone would be nice...maybe even a Mt. Rushmore

and we all know that's what she said

In my world, every Ferrari and Porsche should be red. LOL.

even star wars die hards must be bored by now.

These are such stressful times - haven’t slept since New Years Eve. My order status has not changed — or at least I don’t think it has. I set up alarms so I can check every hour but sometimes I miss my alarms and fear I might have missed something. CS won’t take my calls anymore so I don’t know what to do. I’m so glad we have this forum where at least we have each other to comfort. Maybe this just isn’t for me . . .

Dude your calling my wife cringeworthy 😂 Well she is somebody’s wife from Austin TX Anyway, I found her relatively new channel when looking for a review of the new Modular police station and her’s was pretty good IMO.

they will eventually find it but it will takes weeks to months, usually SS wont budge since they are just parrots and they eat the cracker the warehouse people gives them .. they once lost an entire box I sent in and they refused to reimburse claiming it wasn't there and that their count was correct.. after a few back and forth, I gave up dealing with idiots and wrote to "Jeff" since it was worth a few grands, I was reimbursed within two days . fast forward 5 months and suddenly the contents of that box suddenly appeared in my inventory and the reimbursement was reversed . obviously the parrot wasn't reprimanded

If you’re banned at SAH - this is the way.

Ha, just one GWP! That’s the cringe for me.

While checking out at my local LEGO Store today, I noticed a couple of ice skating rinks poking out from behind dozens of vintage cars. I asked the cashier if they were still going with $150 purchases. He said yes, and he also said that a promotion was going on that would allow me to receive one with any gift card purchase. So, a $5 gift card later, I had one more to add to the pile. I also bought the Monkey King Mech because it looks awesome (and two GWP don't hurt). There was no signage for this, so YMMV.

$50 if you buy directly from USPS. It is up to $100 if you buy the shipping label from eBay.

Given all the money that we all made last year, are these returns really that big of a deal?

Sold a 71246 Lego Dimensions Team Pack - Adventure Time on BrickLink for $42.50 that I found on Target clearance a few years ago for $7.48. After fees, netted a $31.85 profit. Not a bad ROI for something I almost forgot I had.

Measure that side, it wouldn't hurt to give you an extra 1/2" or so clearance/padding.

$47? Good thing I sold at $85

I see a future children's book in the making...How the LEGO Reseller Saved Christmas for Little Timmy

Headline: "BrickPickers, once the scum of the earth, hailed as saviors of Christmas during COVID." I too had some moms tell me the same. "You're saving my butt here!" "OMG, I'm so glad you had these for sale. My kids' Christmas has been saved!"

Any box reccos on the coaster?

Thank you so much! Have been wanting this forever. Finally able to grab it. Had an order in with SAH and it has been on backordered since early Dec. [emoji23]

true...I had a couple of soccer moms literally tell me I saved Christmas

I have to a small degree. I did last year as well. I have been preparing for the raffle, but I always buy a few more of the good stuff. At Christmas time, you were essential as Santa.

So I'm an "Essential Worker"? So I can cut the line for the vaccine...

The dreaded flipper became essential.

I've been waiting for the Statute of Liberty to take it's turn on the remake rodeo. Maybe next year.

I feel an Eiffel Tower coming.

I've had a few sales from that name/address. Same scenario bought relisted item as well. No issues. If it weren't my last one available, I would've messaged "Hey, I have __ more if you want to save on individual shipping and buy'em all in one shot." Must find that apron/sorter original thread. Fun times.

I do give credit when its due. The time interval counter has sections labeled so you can jump/skip ahead. Must be a newer feature on Youtube. Very helpful to jump through 2 hour videos for the 1 min of content you are looking for. In this case, I just wanted to see the Police station next to other Modulars. However, this small feature doesn't reduce the cringe level.

Limits are one reason....selection is another...

How do you get banned at SAH??? yowza

You'll just need to shake it out of the others to find out - Oy!

Man...What the Queue in a Lego warehouse must look like... My HP order from the daylight hours of the 1st has shipped. Burrow on Backorder, but the car, the MBOM and streetlights are all on their way.. Meanwhile, my 3am on the 1st, just after the website came back up, orders of:#1 Police station, #2 Bonsai, road plates, tuk-tuks, all with GWP are still "in warehouse" Fingers crossed that they all ship.

Contact eBay when it is delivered. eBay just ate a full refund where my item was delivered late and buyer demanded a refund anyway. I just told the buyer, “sorry, packages are late systemwide. Please be patient and thank you for your understanding.” Buyer kept case open with eBay and asked eBay to step in, eBay provided refund to buyer and released hold on my funds.

Unless you bought additional Insurance the max they will cover is 50 dollars for priority mail.

lol. the review is whack but the two monster jam pull backs -

It’s done. Grab all you can find.

Well it seems most of the criticisms are based in love. Love for the original, love for the theme, love for Lego, else why would we care. yes, didn't fully capture the "mood" of the submission but IMO is this a beauty and we haven't even seen all the details yet. My complaints would be this being an ideas set and not a new castle theme and if they would have simply used darker brown on the wood bits.

Is the Vader castle retiring?

Lego basically has two retirement points each year...7/31 and 12/31. A smaller number of sets is retired 7/31 than 12/31, but there's no real rhyme or reason about whether a set goes mid-year or end-of-year. And when a set is retired mid-year, it may disappear as early as April or May, or remain available until later in the year.

Tomorrow

To be fair to people saying goodbye - the forum is nice and all, but it was the Brickfolio that made Brickpicker the go-to site for LEGO investing. Lots of tangible data rather than just another forum where people share opinions. I'm still holding out hope, but even as an ardent supporter of this website - you've got to agree that it's missing a vital piece for much longer than anyone ever thought possible. I'm not going anywhere, but I see why people are frustrated and looking to other sites to support their investing habit.
