Merry Christmas to you and yours.

nice! It's a shame @exciter1 didn't help you build a MOC of a Kmart parking lot wedding.

Am I allowed to toot my own horn here? Pretty proud of this one ... Updated pic with full background surround:

10335 - ICONS - Blacktron 2025

Feel free to toot away. Nicely done. The cart returns are really good.

Memorizing a new cc 3 digits security code since my old cc expired. Harder now since I do not buy as much LEGO anymore #Iamgettingold #firstworldproblem

On some, they will double and even triple. For instance, the battle packs will normally double. Just add what you want to your cart and then go to checkout. On the side they will list your potential cash back. Just edit each item from 1 to 2. You can see whether it changes the cash back. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, in my experience just once total per offer across multiple orders.

No, usually it’s only one promo for one order. I picked up some in store and once the cash went to the wallet the offer disappeared for that specific one.

My father-in-law has the original in his basement with all the pieces tucked back into the original excellent condition box. I built it when I found it nine years ago I always wanted this one as a kid.

I would have loved this as a kid. Voltron, Transformers, and Robotech had me all into mech that came together and also transformed. My Lego collection was pretty meager (I got a couple $20 sets for Christmas from the 1 aunt that gives presents (instead of money..yeah growing up asian in the 80s), but I played the heck out of every piece...always trying to built my own voltron.

I'm such a sucker, this gave me chills. The John Williams callbacks did it.

I might actually go back to the movie theater for this one.

Got a new Old West set.

LETS GOO !!!

I can simply remove the Kroger logo build and replace it with a KMart logo, add some different color masonry bricks to show crumbling plaster, remove all the outside displays and all the customers, leave one car, and voila, a KMart.

Leave preconceptions behind.......

There are well over 10,000 LEGO employees, many of which work directly with the production of the sets. How can a set that is retiring possibly be kept secret??? It isn't like they come in to work one day, and are told to melt down the sets, and burn all the boxes. Are the workers kept in isolation, cut off from all communications? Does LEGO use Oompa Loompas?

Most people in production are just doing what they're told for the day. It'll be the big dogs that know any planning.

Doesn't work that way, how are staff to know they are going to stop making them, other than noticing that haven't been made in a while.

Went to a Lego store the other night to pick up an Ewok Village with all the VIP points I had. I have been to this store quite a bit so most of the people know me pretty well. Its funny because a lot of the people on here talk about Lego employees accusing people of reselling, etc. (Like Willy's insane Lego store manager story), but none of them have questioned any of my ridiculous purchases, nor my stupid amount of VIP points. Either way, they were training a new guy while I was there. Now, I generally don't let on when talking to people that I know what I am doing - don't want anyone to know I am checking out stuff to resell later. I told him I had a coupon and asked him if there was anything it didn't work on (hoping as he was new he wouldn't know since it just says the employee reserves the right to deny a set). He said "It doesn't work on exclusives". I went on to say "How do I know what's exclusive". Here is where it got interesting. He went on to talk about how exclusives are only at the Lego store and they are awesome and very expensive and then several years down the line they are worth like 800-1000 dollars so you should buy them now! One of the other older employees came out and kind of chimed in to this effect. As I went to the register, one of the guys saw I was purchasing a good $350 worth of stuff and mentioned - "I guess you are like me and buy all this stuff and leave it sealed for a long time". Really? Lego can't even control its employees - my store is encouraging me to buy to resell. I am not going to complain. Just seems like if you are going to have a policy - you should train your employees to not say things directly against it.

I've been told the same on numerous occassions. Some of them like to brag about buying sets with their discounts and then selling on ebay. Even the store manager is willing to discuss resale strategies. It's not really uncommon for infantry to go against the grain of corporate thinking. They're in the trenches, they add up receipts at night, they know that a sale is a sale, and what it takes to get one. The millionaires in their cozy offices at TLG think Lego is invincible and people are fighting over $240 toys. Store employees know better.

It's call reverse psychology. They are trying to get everyone who walk into their store to becoming an "investor" If everyone buys an extra something...
