Picked up a couple weeks ago. Decided since it was close enough to take the drive. Offered asking price as it seemed worth it. Snapped a picture of the listing when I got back home for memories. They provided no pictures, but It was quite the "hull" Overall from the bulk bin the 3 sets were about 98% complete. Sails for the Pearl and Queen Anne were in good shape. The flagship sails looked like they were used as toilet paper... so aftermarket sails are set to arrive tomorrow. Missing pieces already arrived from Bricklink. Manual missing for the flagship but the other two sets are there. Had this been 15 minutes further I probably would have waited for pictures and ended up in a bidding war.

A day we thought would never come...

Retired list from today:

Rumored release on 1 April 2021 for $199.99. Rumored to include the Hubble telescope. Also rumored to be revealed tomorrow (March 19)

I've been stuck at 1,666 for the past few days. While I'm not that superstitious, would someone please like this post so I can stop worrying?

My bad should have said Fall offering. Now there are pics of a UCS Probe Droid from ESB in all dark grey. Not sure if this is the droid that was supposed to be R2 or in addition to.

https://www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-6994,00.html What is the most statistically improbable coincidence that has ever been officially verified and how improbable was it? These journalists wrote this long article, scientists spent hours, days, weeks, months researching & calculating the most improbable event... and didn't even find a concrete answer! If they only knew our community could have given them the answer in 2 seconds...

Playmobil one looks pretty sharp.

Not anytime soon, Playmobil has the license now.

CL same buyer a day apart. 75101 First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter $80 buy in $35 75269 Duel on Mustafar $20 buy in $7

This set was extremely limited in UK, think it sold out in under 1 day on SAH. It is still selling for approx £45 on eBay UK. There's seems to be a huge difference in supply numbers for North america and UK/EU. For North america members, it might be worth to sell a joblot to UK / EU buyers, as this will remain a good seller here.

These are still plentiful at the local stores in my area

I've sold off hundreds of units of a single item at a loss. If you let your money/inventory sit there at Amazon too long, the risk increases for some type of IP/compliance document/false restricted product violation, etc. Losing a few hundred bucks and getting your money back is not a big deal to someone selling 7 or 8 figures worth of toys a year and making tons of cash. It's a risk/reward just like sports betting or diversifying in the stock market. When I speculate on a toy, i'm usually right 90% of the time. I'll admit I probably have at least 1 sale every day for a bad buy I dump at a loss. Then I make a profit on 299 other items that day.

Hmm, what's going on here? https://www.lego.com/en-ch/harry-potter-designer-livestream Update: It's a chat/Q&A with the designers. http://bricksfanz.com/lego-harry-potter-designers-livestream-event/ Doesn't seem to have been widely publicized!

Never assume what the seller’s buy in is . That would be my advice .

I gotcha!

They could also be selling at break even or slight loss for the cash flow. Or becausd it hasn't popped like they had hoped.

They could be buying wholesale from LEGO. If that allowed them to get these in largr quantities at (let's say) 30% off, and they can sell through them fast at a relatively low price, that would be an acceptable business model for many.

Ordered a 80107 Spring Lantern Festival from Legoland New York last week. At the time, it was the only place that had it available, and I had FOMO. Of course, the day after it was handed off to FedEx, it came in stock everywhere. So no promos for me. No VIP points for me. But I have it. Going to pair it up with Temple of Airjitsu at some point.

I really like the Playmobil playsets and vehicles, I just don't care for the figures.

This is the complaint thread, not the moronic conspiracy theorist thread.

Also, at Amazon. No limit,

At St is available at Walmart again for $40 https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Star-Wars-AT-ST-Raider-75254-Collectible-Building-Model/646649427

What's even funnier is I updated the thread just a few minutes ago, too!

so many rumors... just the facts please

thanks for the thread

lol, anyone can start a thread. But, ask, and ye shall receive...

Renamed the thread since we're also discussing the Winnie the Pooh prints as well. Carry on.

The new UCS R2 will be the flying version.

Midi Scale ISD 8099 with Admiral Piett

I posted this a couple weeks ago here. It's part of Amazon's easy return. They can drop off their return without a box at any UPS store and its sent back without a box if possible. Then Amazon gets it, cuts out the label, then ships it back to you. Fun.

Maybe the instructions will be these non fungible tokens I keep hearing about

Three of these sets are by the Old Fishing Store designer and somewhat match that aesthetic. That's going to be hard to say no to for me, as I loved that set. Castle in the Forest seems to have a similar function to the Forestmen Camouflaged Outpost set, and I loved that set growing up. This could get expensive...

Was it limited to 1000 per print worldwide? I know 4 of them were at 1000 and the 5th one was just 500. I'm keeping mine to frame for my son as he loves Winnie and friends.
