Not at all, I wish I'd missed the damn things! Don't bother buying them as I bought a 10 for

Coffee...I wouldn't be able to make it through the day without it

OK, I never had this as a kid, but it would never be a hit today, as there is no mini figure exclusives for flipping. http://youtu.be/3UXrSg0USOM

unikitty versus hello kitty...I would watch that fight

Can't say for sure that LEGO's are the tool of Satan ... but they are definitely the "enemy" of my bank account!!

Absolutely!! I've got around a million of these stupid things, and they work great IMO. Finger savers!! I am now giving them out to my customers who order larger used sets just to get rid of some of these damn things.

I use one to separate plates so they don't have fingernail marks, but that's about it.

As someone who has only started shopping there over the past couple of years, I really hope they do change their business to be more customer friendly. One of the biggest annoyances with any retailer are discrepencies between the online site and in-store. The prices should match. They got hot prices, sale prices, buy one get one sales that you can only use on certain items, plus the mile long list of exclusions on their coupons, all it really does is work to confuse the customer. Simplify!

Well, I think this is key! "improving price perception by developing a clear pricing strategy and simplifying promotional offers"

@exciter1 - you are as pretty as TheOrcKing. Thanks for the link did not know there was that resource.

Is Fugazi a country in the middle east? Do we have troops there?

Very good thoughts, appreciate the wisdom from an experienced person. :-)

i never liked using shipping label printers or paper since they lack "proper" protection when mailing. this dates back to my glory days of selling sporting event tickets on ebay and stubhub when i tried all types of stick-on labels . instead, i put the shipping label (printed on plain paper) in free clear address pouches provided by USPS and UPS. I then attached those to the shipping boxes. the UPS pouches do not open when sealed while the USPS ones do (have a slit) since they are mostly used for international customs). of course, the USPS pouch can be taped sealed. links = http://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/ship/packaging/docs/internet_labels.html https://store.usps.com/store/browse/productDetailSingleSku.jsp?productId=P_FORM_2976_E

I love it when a store near me starts carrying minifigures from series that were available over a year ago. I also love jellybeans and beef jerky.

I tried to download my digital copy for Lion King, Toy Story...or something like that onto my tablet and it was a chore! Travelling with my family soon. I'm not a tech geek but thought I was tech saavy enough (wrong!)...after awhile and errors I just gave up. They should make the process easier. Ended up going to Google Playstore and paying for movies, seems expensive still even at 50% off. Old classics like Nemo etc are still expensive. HD quality of Cloudy with Chance of Meat Balls, How to Trade your Dragon and Ice Age cost me $30. Nice to be able to do cloud storage (watch it on any device using your id or download it to your device and not worry about wifi). My brother inlaw will download some free content for me lol. Scooby Doo is coming back...my 4yr old loves it

Frozen was $18.87 at TRU of all places last week. I price matched at Target so I could use my redcard. But Disney movies are definitely cheaper when they first are released and sometimes Disney issues a coupon as well. I have a feeling Disney is going to rerelease Frozen in 3D with more bonus features. Hmmm.

I love a good poop!

Just sold Anakin's & Sebulba's Podracers (YES)...only 1 more set left in my inventory haha.

Maybe a little. Whats funny is, IMO, 42025's B build is what I want over the plane. lol

Starbuck's lemon pound cake

I hate how the US always gets a big fat catalog and the Canadian version is about half as thick. As usual Canada gets

Misuse of "prove", since science can't by definition prove anything. Sam Trotter demonstrated Bit nitpicky I know...

Umm, okay. >men vs women by dkammy, on Flickr

Those are honestly some of the worst minifigs I have ever seen and a disgrace to the turtles(along with this new movie.) The other funny thing about the figs are based on the movie trailer the turtles are significantly bigger than humans so them being the same size as April makes no sense.

I wasn't much of a fan of it when it was first released. My feelings changed when I saw it built in a LEGO store. I have two sets now and would love to get them moving as fast as the train in the video.

2 Grand Emporiums. Problem solved.

Sounds like a tree hugging liberal. You must be an evil corporation out to screw people. Oh and by the way: Haliburton.

I'm so glad he popped in to set you straight on that. I'll bet you were under the horrible misapprehension that you were on eBay to try to make some money. How embarrassing to make that kind of mistake! Now you know better, and can go for the loss like a real eBay seller. People are hilarious. I can't count the number of messages I've received over the years wanting to know why some rare and valuable book published 50 years ago now costs 100 times what it did "back then". I especially like the people who contact me to tell me I'm charging way too much, because for some reason whatever they're complaining about always sells, at full price, within a few days.

And nobody goes to work to earn money. -I don't always go shopping, but when I do I buy Lego-

Sometimes I miss the days where Lego people all had that simple smiling face. Those were more civilized times... before the dark times... before the empire.

I'm still impressed not a single person died in the GIJOE cartoons when I was a kid. The pilot or driver was always able to bail out before the missile arrived....fast sons of guns.

Congrats Noodlenut and Comicblast! The blogs and the reviews are great! Keep up the great work.

The winners (Noodlenut and Comicblast) can contact Jeff and I directly for prize information. Thanks...

Reading April Fools news posts while not yet awake enough to realize that it's April 1st...

Take a look at the set online. Note special/rare pieces and all minifigs that way you can easily see that it is mostly there. It is very probable that a few pieces are missing despite what people say. But a few common pieces are easily replaced. I always pick a few random pieces out to check for mega blocks (not too much of a worry on a single large set) also check condition. Bite marks, play wear, sticky residue etc etc. This will give you a very good idea how cared for the set was. The better the condition the more likely it is complete and a good buy. Besides that be friendly and don't be afraid to punch out if something isn't right or the set turns out to be a basket case.

Another try at improving my videos.

Man, I think I just wandered into the weird part of brickpicker.....

For reference, a LOT of sets don't appear in various catologs, it is one of the worst ways to determine EOL dates IMO.

I love how you got two 'likes' for my post. :mda:

You only like big butts. You must LOVE big butts to post on the thread.

I like big butts and I cannot lie! Oh come on, you knew someone had to do it. :cheese:

Most of all I LOVE my wife and my kids!!! Without them, I probably wouldn't be doing this. I also love the opportunity that Lego has presented us!! Otherwise none of us would crossed paths!! Lego on!

I think we all can agree most things look better with a nice caboose. :spiteful:

Pretty much!
