Still banging the $150 drum by Christmas I see. Considering they're selling for around $80 at the moment I'd say doubling in five months sounds like a tall order.

I just want a big crane and wrecking ball, so I can complete my Miley Cyrus MOC.

Um, wrong forum/site? Which remote are you using to change channels? We have a similar setup, and use the Comcast remote to change channels (meaning the Smart TV is basically just taking the signal as an input). If we want to use the Smart TV functions (mine is a Vizio), I have to grab that remote to use those functions. Also, once you get coax into your digital box, you should be using HDMI from your box to the TV set. That's all that should be required, and then you're just putting your TV input on one of the HDMI inputs and you should be good to go.

Very nice craigslist score today. 11 sets for $75. All were in separate zip lock bags with instructions. Should be able to net over $100. 11sets total. Animal Hospital, Cafe, Beauty Shop, Tree House, Camper, Stables, Stephanie's Car, Science Lab, Design Studio, 4Wheeler, and the Outdoor Kitchen. All sets include the instruction book it came with and have been kept neatly in a zip loc bag as to not lose any pieces. We are also including the tool box in the price. A great way to store your Legos!

Next item for sale, seven Flashback Shredder polys.

While we are on box art, and manual art. Printing and fulfillment is my day job. Inventory SKU control for a multi-billion dollar company is a big deal. It does not mean updating artwork on a manual or box can't be done, if you want to it can be. But what you have to understand is the part # on the manual or box will change and you will have to pay your artistic staff to update it, your printing company for new proofs, and then the job is a revision and not a reprint so it all costs more. Then the SKU # changes and you have to put in a supercession trail for your manufacturing plants and then they have to have adjusted build orders. It may sound simple. It is not. You can hire staff to manage all the aspects and then do this. It is not a problem. The steps are many but they are straight forward in a good manufacturing and inventory control company. But is it worth it? I think not. That is on top of then people thinking they are getting different versions of sets and market confusion from box changes etc. If I was Lego, I would do exactly what they are doing.

DYMO 1755120 LabelWriter 4XL Handheld Thermal Label Printer - $159 It is usually sells around $200 This is not as good as $115 a while back, but still reasonable

The seller cancels the bids, which they are entitled too. The seller then ends the auction using "end auction early form" which includes the reason such as "no longer available. The seller should then tell you what time he will relist the item (although that is the way still within eBay) and then you buy it.

I agree, the seller has to end the auction and then relist it. He may tick off other people, typically not cool to do that when there are bids on something. But it can be done and take the heat of negative emotions. I do not do that, if it has a bid I let it play out. If they list an item for you, have them list it ridiculously high, like list a $100 lego set for $1,000 with a make offer. then you make the offer on what you would pay that you have agreed on and they accept. That helps guarantee that just you will get the deal. But I do not recommend him ending the auction and canceling.

I doubt it because best offer is like a subfeature of BIN, and I don't think it is supported on auctions anyway. I'm pretty sure the only way is for the seller to cancel bids, up to him if he is willing to do that

depends on the current highest bid, and how much longer until the auction ends, it may not work. it's simple because even though the buyer put a agreed upon price, then the next second somebody else can bid on it

i don't think you can add the buy it now option after the first person started bidding on it, can you?

I thought the way it works is that each of you transfer certain sum of money to a bank account in Nigeria...

Hm. SW isn't your strong suit is it. Parts of an AT-AT: Part of the control center in the B-Wing set: Most of these parts are from the TIE Fighter listed in one of the older posts: 2000 SW MTT set: http://brickset.com/sets/7184-1/Trade-Federation-MTT. I think all the chunks are in that set except for the double doors: I'll post this first, the do a little more digging on the Castle stuff

OMG, you didn't??? :thumbsu:

Hello and welcome to the site. LEGO "wholesellers" are basically non-existent on this site. The vast majority of members have no such connections and would not sell for "wholesale prices." You really need to contact LEGO directly.

Hi Brick Trader EDIT (clearly your alias is No More Monkeys SORRY) - yes we are aware of this. However, the main point is that large retailers in China sell at extravagant prices. Buying from USA and reselling to smaller wholesalers throughout the nation in large quantities is still sustainable and can produce a growing business. I've seen a great number of products being imported into China --- that were actually also made in China! From designer hand bags, to baby strollers. I used to buy my clothes here in HK from retailers cause there's no sales tax and they usually had good deals. I now almost never buy in HK and always buy from when I visit the US. Websites like Hautelook, My Habit, Amazon, Gilt offer extremely good deals that easily trump what Asia has to offer. Asians are wealthier now - they want luxury items, they want to live a better lifestyle. And interestingly, they want to collect LEGO sets, and will pay enough for this to work out.

Hmm, why would anyone with less than 90 of these in stock would NOT want another production run ? ;)

Congrats on the find! Thanks, I bought it. My son and I are still building it (hard to find time lol), I don't think I'm planning to get rid of it any time soon but if I do, I'll let you know.

Not really...Let me know when the Live Star retires. Off topic...Welcome to the site, Perijove.

...Don't you have a history of losing these in the mail? Cross those fingers and toes

Got an "In stock notification" from TRU at 2:09am. I was asleep. Went now to check and it wasn't available. I wonder how many they had or if it was just a system burp?

I'm in UK so have a copy of the first mag they piloted. I did enjoy it overall, though did find the title of the modular article misleading, as although I was expecting a guide to how you can create and build your own street etc, it was basically just a description of the modular sets available past and present, and touched on how you could link them together in whatever order you wanted.... don't know if others who have read it agree with that statement?

2 Batcaves, 2 Pirate Ambushes, 2 Knowhere Escapes, 2 Mirkwood Armies, 2 X-Men and 2 deloreans. Damn Amazon....

With image of furry friends. I also just bought 2x 10681 Creative building cube. Paid the equivalent of $20 each

Another GE...makes three.

Your definition of "cheap" is very different from mine.

I know where you can get 3 cheap ;)

GE at Walmart store. Looks like someone didn't like the packaging and returned to the store. It's got marked down from $149 to $99. Box condition is not too bad but it has been opened. All bags are still sealed though.

Seven 60020 Cargo Trucks and two 70113 Chima Chi Battles at K-Mart's 75% off clearance. $9/per for the Cargo Trucks and $4.50/per for the Chima Battles. I try and hold a few of these for Christmas for toy drives at church or direct assistance through our local community outreach program. I like for kids who ask for Legos that might otherwise not get them to actually get a Lego product at Christmas. Legos at these prices are perfect for that.

I was going to type pretty much exactly what comicblast did until I read his post. I don't see TB ever reaching ET, Statue of Liberty, and TajM $#s. The latter sets only were around for 2-3 years each. TB has been around so long it will be collecting Social Security soon. I also see $800 max for sealed TB sets 3-5 years after retirement unless something really drives up demand. We also don't know when TB will retire unlike GE (educated guesses on current Lego.com behavior tells us GE is gone before Jan 2015). In addition to so many TBs being arount, the set is "easy" to Bricklink compared to most and it isn't as popular (in reality) as ET and the Taj. In summary of my long winded answer, buy 2 GEs.

Looks like someone is having fun with 10173 before it's complete. It's great to be a child. Choo choo Who needs Thomas when we have Lego! Sent from an iPhone using the Brickpicker app

Many people are really disappointed by the new version (set 75058) so I think your used 7662 will keep growing in value. Can't you try to make it complete with bricklink ? (minifigs apart) As for me I got rid off my 7962 podracer set. No money lost, I think I have to be happy with that...

Some dude in the Daily Deals thread bought them all.

So I got lucky at Kmart today, someone accidentally put a $45 clearance tag on the ninja turtles turtle lair and so the manager honored it and with the additional 75% off clearance items I got it for $11.25! Lol

A reason why is that no one actually know what the code means. We know it corresponds to an arbitrary date. What we don't know is what the date tells us. Is it a shipping date, an"off the assembly line" date, a planned market order date, an organization date used by LEGO. If we knew for a fact from LEGO that it meant the week the item came from the mold that might tell us something. It could be returns from retailers that are re-boxed. Walmart told me they do not keep that damaged items they send them back to LEGO. If that is true where do they go? Are they checked, re-boxed, re-labeled and then shipped out for sale again. The labels area good but more information is needed to determine what it actually means to LEGO themselves. We will know in the next 6 months if this one is sticking around. I do not believe it is. either way that should not have much bearing on people adding positions. It has been a gift to add for those people that sat on the sidelines. If someones investing plan is investing in Modular s that are closest to retirement then it really does not matter if that retirement is now or in 6 months.

You could probably MOC a good " drifting space junk" display out of the lot.

While I wait for book 2, here are pics of book 1. Notice now difficult it can be distinguishing darker elements from each other. That is why the PDF version is nearly impossible to build from unless the majority of the elements in steps are lighter to medium colors. Not the best condition...

Welcome!

Welcome. I was born in Oxnard in 1973. We moved to Cape Cod in 1976 though.

- Inside of locomotive - Finished side and front views The locomotive is an extremely simple build. Design is pretty basic will some cool uses of elements. Dark gray megaphones are nicely used (as ?) while black flag poles are horizontally slid into pairs of 1x1 windows (circle side) to look like pistons on the train wheels, the train is also small at 17 studs long. 3 pairs of non-turning train wheels are used so I assume moderate modifications are needed for powering the locomotive unless the PF or 9V motor is attached to the tender.

LOVE Band of Brothers! I watch this series at least once a year and it never gets old. I am not ashamed to say that the real interviews make me tear up. I told my wife that only two types of movies can make a guy cry. Sports (Brian's Song) and war movies. The best part of the show is at the end of the last episode they tell you who the interviewees are. Which is one of the reasons I have watched so many times is that you can start seeing the interviews and picturing that person in the show. It is a must watch for anyone. When I heard that Major Winters died early 2011 it made me sad.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say yes.
