I never show my hand...I just know that if you think outside of the box...there will be money to be made on a number of these sets. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Back the Truck Up Leia

Originally that early in year it will show that. Usually the exclusive extensions come Sept/Oct. The list was right at that time though. Just how the exit dates work. There's even some discrepancies direct from Lego and the upcoming store planograms at the end of the year which is amusing.

It said "Legos." Scrap it.

ChatGTP is amazing. I've been using it to write teacher evaluation summaries for me. I just add attributes I want mentioned and it writes a much better summary than anything I would have written. Game changer.

I want the Atari kid fig & the Centipede statue to put on top of my machine

I'm buying City and Creator. 50% off those and I am always in. I'm going for the Walmart gift cards. I have to go there any ways to buy stuff for the house, not so much LEGO.

An Ode to the LEGO Investor Oh LEGO investor, art thou a muse? Thy love for blocks, a tale to abuse. With bricks of colors, in endless array, Thou bringeth joy, to children at play. In the land of imagination, so grand, Thou buildeth worlds, with nimble hand. Thy portfolios, full of cash and might, Supporteth this, noble toy-block site. The minifigs, they dance and they sing, Their stories, a new world does bring. Thou art not just wealth, but a master creator, Investing in joy, for the young and the elder. So hear us now, as we raise our voice, In honor of thee, with endless poise. For thou art the key, to this kingdom's wealth, And the future of LEGO, thou shall guardeth. And as thy wealth, continues to grow, Our admiration, shall e'er overflow. For thou art the backbone, of this grand game, Supporting the joy, of LEGO by name.

Some fun with ChatGPT:

I don't think you need to think outside the box. The likely winners seem fairly obvious. The real problem is having enough money to hold a nice supply!

Seeing all those brown astronauts together look like a shiny sea of chocolate. Instead of Browntron, maybe Chocotron. (Cocoatron?) And their spaceships could be like a large graham cracker codenamed "Smore Smasher" or "Marshmallow Melter". I have no idea. Just being a spaz. Ha.

I want one, but hope to get a discount of some sort.

All in on 10291: ***** Eye?

I was surprised to see 10780 retire mid-year. The minifigs sell for more than the street price. I think that I'll take a chance with that one.

Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but the new 1,800 piece Classic set is available for pre-order at Walmart for 33% off MSRP. Limit 2. https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Classic-Creative-Fantasy-Universe-11033-with-a-Winged-Unicorn-Toy-Sea-Serpent-Magical-Castle-Dragon-and-a-Pirate-Ship/1186533986?athbdg=L1700 Slightly different color palette vs. some of the more recent Classic sets.

It was supposed to retire just surprised they marked it so soon.

they were pretty damn accurate last year: https://www.brickfanatics.com/every-lego-set-retiring-2022-january-update

because he can wait and buy it later and not fear missing out on an exclusive GWP if he isn't ready to fork $500

Interesting. Glad it isn't an exclusive set they are offering as a GWP.

UCS Lord Of The Rings theme is all I've ever wanted.

Set is glorious. Especially these new leaf pieces:
