Sent LEGO CS a simple email regarding them removing the valentines box GWP from my order the other day and they apologized and said there were processing problems during the first day the GWP was available. A few minutes ago this arrived. people can complain all they want but LEGO's CS is, hands down, the best.

Valentine was supposed to be done by today. As for MBOM, we shall see. It was originally scheduled till 2/14 (well, that was about the third extension) and then extended till 2/21. It's possible that someone didn't code that up and it will add later today. Of course, since I bought quite a few at BN for $25, I really hope this GWP is finally done. Doubt we'll see the November prices any time soon but it would be nice to see the spigot turned off.

I saw the Wright Bros Flyer 10124 in a lot of about 13 lbs of LEGO and picked it up for about $80. When a larger box arrived I was temporarily confused. I was so excited about the 10124 (with instructions in excellent condition) I completely forgot it was for 13 lbs of LEGO... lol. The flyer is only missing a few pieces (hence the brown and gray wing pieces as well as a few plates and blocks which are evident in the pics) but I'm not done sifting through the 13 lbs of LEGO yet. This thing is delicate. It came apart about five times while building it.

10280 yesterday. She said "no flowers this year" and somehow I still ended up dropping like fifty bucks on flowers.

Lol, I did that at riverboat casino playing blackjack one Thanksgiving weekend. Doubled my bet after every loss, still split and doubled down everytime I was supposed to. There was no maximum bet on the $25 table I was playing on. Had to double down on a $1600 bet once, but won that hand. Ended up leaving on Sunday $21k richer. Went back a year later and the $25 tables all had $500 max bets on them haha.

huge variability about when a set is labeled RETIRED across the world. most sets that we expect in north america to be retired are already retired in eastern europe. sets that are long ago retired in north america are listed as temporarily out of stock on australian shop at home. eastern europe seems like it has its act together and has the retirements done the quickest. not sure if that helps you at all or if you're just waiting for it to be retired in US so you can advertise it as RETIRED. us shop at home likes to drag their feet - my theory is to discourage resellers from gobbling up last bits of retail stock when something goes to RETIRED.

Agree, they completely drop the ball most of the time in regards to their website, but you call or email about the smallest issue and they totally make up for it.

Their kids also had the looks for their roles too, which was a cool touch. Wiccan more than Speed. I just wonder why SWORD wants Wandas-Vision. Are they trying to capture him? It didn't seem like it since they just left him there when he tried to go through the Hex.

Yeah but we actually received the black card. What we didn't receive was anything "good" to go with it. Maybe one 2x points deal early on and a 8.5x10 card stock with a LEGO Y-Wing blueprint. Then we finally got a frame so we could show the world how gullible we all were for buying the falcon to get a stupid card that ultimately ended up being worthless.

Interesting... again, I'm not restricted from any of those items that you listed. As for pricing errors - I'm not sure that it matters that you delete a listing and open it back up again. I've noticed that eventually the acceptable price rises to where I want to sell it at and then I go edit the price and save it and then it becomes unlocked. You may be right that deleting helps, but I've found that just playing the waiting game usually sorts itself out due to the price rising.

I'm annoyed at Amazon as the next guy, but that email does actually say that you're all set if you buy shipping directly from Amazon. Sure, when I got the email initially, I did have to read it twice to see it mentioned (which I shouldn't have to do!!), but it is there (highlighted in my quote of your post).

I just tried it and I'm not seeing any promos adding to the cart.

they may or may not. nobody knows. my strategy to avoid investing in sets i am blocked on is to add the sets u think u want to sell as early as it lets u add them to inventory. when i go out clearance shopping and i come across sets that weren't on that list on deep discount, i use the seller app to scan the upc and see if the set is restricted. if it is restricted i leave it behind , even when its 75% off. maybe if i had a bricklink store i would grab them. many friends sets this last clearance round i could have gotten for 75% off left behind. if ur stuck with restricted listing sets - look for alternative listings. gingerbread house is restricted for many under main listing but there is an alternative listing with a decent sales rank. same thing with downtown diner. i am not picking up the retiring fishing city set because i am restricted on it. if found this out right before i arm swept them into cart by checking app first.

If you are intending to buy 50 personal use, buy 80 or so now. If it retires early, sell the extra 30 in a year or two for $30-$40 each. If it goes down to 9.99, just buy more - I don't see the problem.

MTRON by Walter Whiteside Jr.

I know I am late, but keep in mind he has used additional pieces for his build, it's not just 2 times 10264. I don't think there are eneugh bricks for the groundstructure structure of that size. You can see the masonry bricks (behind the mini) which are not part of the set. I've started to replicate a build like his, but from 3 sets and complete 2nd and 3rd floor (1st and 2nd if you are from the UK) to the right. Together with the original instruction and pictures from his video it is quite doable. I have plain (without any concern for quality) instructions for the groundfloor if you are interested in that. I plan on finishing a complete instruction.

Promobricks.de have just published a larger list of spring/summer retirements.

Just sold the Castle coin, Pirate coin and collecting case for EUR 120. Listed and sold in a few hours. Not sure if I should have kept 'em longer, but capitalized on the hype (is it a hype?). Hope prices are at the top now...

also amazon has removed the price cap on nebulon b - used to be ur listing would be removed if ur price was higher than $114-115 for pricing error - now u can list much higher. sub $100 seller PFT is also oos so hopefully catches up to bespin.

I think you meant to put this in the Dickens thread.

I heard somebody said that about Steamrollers once

I only got them because they are going for ~50 bucks on eBay so it was better than getting the 10 dollar voucher

Bought two 75254 AT-ST Raiders from Amazon, and they arrived minty. Both fit perfectly in the box.

Built the Disney Train Station, just the station which I basically got for free, more on that in a minute. Several issues with the build especially the roof and I was definitely not impressed. I know they are trying to stay true to the original but the stickers, which I did not apply, are plentiful and lacking. I like the mason bricks but using all 1X2 bricks it lacks stability. There are some nice miniature builds of trains and the Disney castle that are neat. Now onto this guy I am quite impressed with you access to new sets and sales, I think I have only seen one other eBay seller get that many new exclusives, hard to find sets and promos so good for you! I just wanted the building to incorporate into my modular display and he was parting out the train so worked for me. Much to my surprise when it arrived all the bags were still sealed and the Minifigures were included So Goofy and Minnie should cover my cost. If you are reading this you should part out the figs. https://www.ebay.com/str/shereensland

Not the first time Amazon themselves have items listed above MSRP. For the most part though I recall them typically being small to medium sized sets with a list price $3 to maybe even $10 higher. These examples of current pricing seem closer to classic Toys R Us standards.

My wife co-opted our daughter’s FRIENDS set and built that last week. Fun set!

Stretching the definition of the word 'today', but I've finished building a nice job lot I acquired a while ago. Paid £60 for it on eBay, with unhelpful photos and little idea of what was included (but I could just about make out some stickers from 7676 so took the plunge). I've had to spend probably another £150 Bricklinking various missing bits (in no small part made up of the minifigs from 4767) but I estimate that the value is probably ~ £1000 - £1100. I'll be keeping 4767 but selling the rest.

New bulk, picked this up for $30 on fbm. Had to do some light cleaning and only a few missing pieces nothing critical. MTron sets were very nostalgic. The Unitron sets will most likely go in the personal collection. Star Hawk II 1789 Space Station Zenon 1793 Celestial Forager 6896 Beacon Tracer 6833 Sharks crystal Cave 6190 (missing sub)

MBS Cantina. They did a really good job at balancing build, display and play features much better than AoH and Cloud City. Only 3 stickers on the cantina itself (these really should have been printed) which I did not apply the rest are used on the vehicles. It is not as repetitive as it may look as they use different elements and/or build techniques for similar aspects instead of just doing X2 in the instructions. I give it 8 out of 10.

So now we are officially into 2021 and our 2020 sales sheets are complete, sort of. For those of us that unfortunately used the brickfolio for tracking, can we get some sort of clarification, pretty please? I ask this fully understanding it's probably not issue #1 for the brickpicker team, but some of us are really stuck in a tough spot since this disappeared. I know, hindsight is 20/20, I don't need any "you should have had a separate sheet" crap from the peanut gallery. I do now, but that doesn't help for older purchases. Thanks for all the work on the site, please help those of us unfortunate souls that relied on this function.

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.

Just checked all of those (except glamping, I couldn't find that one quickly) and I am able to sell all of them. This is confusing...
