In the past, several BrickPicker members have asked us how we post affiliate links. Many members have been very helpful with posting affiliate information when they post new links in the Daily Deals threads. Please support BrickPicker by using our affiliates. BrickPicker gets a very small percentage of any sales through the affiliate programs. These affiliate purchases will help to keep the site, databases, and software costs in check. We hope you like BrickPicker and all the information here, the great services here cost money and the site is free. Try to help support us in keeping it that way. The costs can be significant, especially the information provided from EBay for the Brickfolio information. Sometimes you will see new members post information about cashback sites or credit card affiliates. We either have filters in place to censor the names of the sites, or mods will usually delete the posts when members discuss cashback programs, etc. It's not that we hate or don't believe in other cashback programs, we just want to promote the use of BrickPicker and the use of our affiliate program is another way you can help keep the site afloat and to bring new services that provide great LEGO information and tools to assist you in making good investment choices. If you look at the links in the Daily Deals main post, many have affiliate tags in them. I highlighted the tags in red. Amazon.com = http://www.amazon.co.../dp/B00CNBS5WE/? Amazon.co.uk = http://www.amazon.co.../dp/B0094J2CA4/?tag=brickpicker-21 EBay - http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=2&toolid=10041&campid=5337057111&customid=dailydeal&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466&item=Put Item Number Here Walmart.com = http://linksynergy.walmart.com/fs-bin/click?id=jfOcdvfTNg4&subid;=&offerid=223073.1&type=10&tmpid=1082&RD_PARM1=http://www.walmart.c...ay-Set/22018312 Target.com = http://goto.target.com/c/65738/81938/2092?u=http://www.target.co...08/-/A-14278599 Shop.Lego.com = http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=jfOcdvfTNg4&subid;=&offerid=115554.1&type=10&tmpid=2294&RD_PARM1=http://shop.lego.com...Sales-And-Deals KMart.com - http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-5917360-11042397?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kmart.com%2Fsearch%3Dlego Jeff and Ed Mack have a bunch of the affiliate links in their signature.

I am posting a link to a Twitter feed I setup for the Daily Deals. This is new and I have tied it into some of the processes I have been creating for the updated Daily Deals section. Many of the main sites are in there (Amazon, Walmart, Target, Kmart, Argos, etc). I still have a list to go, but you should see more activity in the coming days. The Amazon process checks very often so you will see the most activity from them. Right now I have it set for discounts of 20% or higher. Feel free to follow it and lets see if we can make it a worthwhile feature for everyone. Let me know what you think. If there are Twitter experts out there, I am always open to ideas, so please send me a PM if you know of features that can make it better. https://twitter.com/BrickDailyDeals

Greetings Brick-brothers and sisters! In my job as a US DoD civilian, I have the privileged of traveling the world. Everywhere I go, I am always on the lookout for our favorite plastic crack in the hope that I can find some hard to find sets at a good price that won't be prohibitively expensive to ship back home. I am currently deployed to the small country of Bahrain in the Arabian Gulf. I don't know if we have many members from the Middle East or South West Asia but I'd love to here from you. Children here obviously have toys but the working/service class is huge and the income gap, much like most of the Middle East, is vast. Bahrain's location relative to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia means that toy stores largely cater to the more affluent. The country of Bahrain is very small but boasts two major malls and an actual TRU. I understand different countries have different taxes, tariffs, exchange and inflation rates. I had no idea what to expect from the Middle East. I was in for quite the surprise. Enough prattle. I went to the TRU and cataloged some prices for comparison to what we pay in the West. I tried to get a good spread of sets for comparison. 1 Bahraini Dinar = 2.65 USD All prices are listed in USD. SSD $710.42 R2-D2 $318.21 Tower Bridge $421.63 Opera House $501.19 Silver Mine Shootout $169.45 Mindstorm 3 $790.24 Ghost Train $164.14 Microfighter $22.54 Horizon Express $182.71 Goblin King $211.88 Sail Barge $291.43 Yeah... Needless to say, I didn't find anything I would be bringing home. If anyone is looking for something hard to find, I'll certainly look but I don't see much meat left on any bones here. Not the most interesting post but I hope you at least found it interesting. My next trip is to various destination is West Africa. I look forward to searching those locales as well. Until then.

It takes a lot of work to mark 100 sets with "Retiring Soon" on it!

Maybe all you banned people can't access the site...

Sally is such a nice name. She sounds like someone who bakes cakes and knits wooly scarves all day long. What could possibly go wrong?

Sold my Cafe Corner from my mega-lot between it and the Grand Carousel I'm all in the black with the other 99999999 sets that I have to list still

For better or worse, got a GE on LEGO Shop at Home and a used Pet Shop for 100 on craigslist.

This will not be for everyone. This is for lazy email people such as myself that receives tons of email and don't sort it or delete it. It gets to the point where your mail app barely works and sometimes crashes. It may be different for me since I create a lot of alerts for Brickpicker, but I got to the point where I had over 60,000 emails in my inbox. Ed has laughed at me, co-workers, etc. This morning I searched for something to help clean my inboxes and found the program Mailstrom I can't tell you how well this app works for finding what you don't need and making it easy to get rid of. Within minutes I was able to find and remove over 40,000 emails that I know for sure I will never need. It gives you a bunch of different ways to group your inboxes and when you think you have everything, you try a different grouping and can find hundreds more. I know many have Inbox OCD issues and can't stand seeing 5 emails in their inbox. I will never get to that point, I already know that. But if there are email hoarders out there like me, give this a shot. http://mailstrom.co

I will have an RSS feed for you when I release the Daily Deals section which should be pretty soon.

Nice list! I did a little more digging on your website, and I really like what you did with the Lego piece ruler. It's quite ingenius, in my opinion. Thanks for developing it! For those who want a link: http://tomalphin.com/2014/02/lego-ruler-and-sorting-tool.html

I am excited to build with my son too. He is only five and a half months old, so we have a ways to go before we even get to Duplo

Heej Guys, Check out this deal on Bricklink: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?sID=501970&itemID=60135640 It is very cheap but also very suspicious, user also has cheap 10196. User has 0 feedback and doesn't want to be contacted. Thought i post it here, USA is to far for me. -Hendrik

There is not a chance thats the last one ever. SO don't worry.

Cool stuff. Be sure to "throw" a like my way Honestly, you will be very happy with these units. At least my wife was until she realized how much space 5 of them took up in our house ha. Sent from an iPhone using the Brickpicker app

The other guy had 300 sets valued at $50k which averages out to $167 a pop. They weren't stealing speedorz and battle packs. I hope it wasn't the Quizno's dumpster because we all know someone would have found them before she could get back to them..

Probably true. Tossing them in the dumpster. Nice.

I am not an expert on malls, but many (most?) of the stores have back entrances for deliveries and employees use - if she was an assistant manager, loading up the car and locking up after everyone else went home was probably fairly simple.

I just finished this late last night. Great build. Steering wheel is a bit big. Best part is the front and back seats. A close second is the picnic set fitting in the trunk. Enjoy the video.

Just ordered 8 from walmart site to store 58 each. Thanks Jaisonline.

Yep, all you need is a hammer/mallet. You may need another person to hold up the vertical rods while you secure the horizontal ones to speed up the assembly. However, I have assembled 2 on my own with no problem.

Well my bet is something broke!

Unconfirmed man in the middle attack. Basically the high value exclusives were being remotely manipulated and orders were re-directed to offshore accounts. Doesn't look like TLG had any knowledge. http://bit.ly/IqT6zt

Good point, shop.lego.com is working perfectly fine for me. I just ordered 5 of the SSD as it came became available and then poofed again.

Man, I hope S @ H site comes back online so we can get back to the real imporant posts like the minute to minute "expected ship date" updates :(

Or Iketart placed dozens of orders for 99 sets again.

Check out the last picture with a line of open boxes. Either they used stock pictures in the article or we are all doomed as LEGO is bringing back 7877 Naboo Starfighter (retired December 2012).

HDX...which works great. Those are the ones I use. We use these... http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6060-322-Supreme-4-Tier-Shelving/dp/B0007MHD1K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1406735111&sr=8-3&&keywords=storage+racks ...at our lube shop. The racks are easily adjustable and they are very attractive.

I wanted to share a project I've been working on for a few months to find the very best LEGO Architecture models by LEGO Artists around the world. I found many of the models in this collection by reviewing the great resources here and in other forums. The result is several collections of the best LEGO Architecture, which I've sorted by Architectural style. LINK: http://tomalphin.com/2014/07/best-lego-architecture.html The following is just a teaser of the 100's of great LEGO models I've found. I'm sure some of these are models by members of this board, and I hope you are happy to see your work featured below! (I've tried to make sure each entry is meticulously labeled to give credit to the original artist and link directly to their galleries on Flickr, Mocpages and other sites. If you see a mistake, please let me know. Did I miss your favorite LEGO Architecture model? Tell me about your favorite LEGO Architecture models by replying to this thread or my blog post and I'll add more great LEGO buildings to my Pinterest boards. Sincerely, ---tom

The prices here are ridiculously high and a lot of people still pay for them. When TRU has a sale here it almost never includes lego. I asked one of the employees and he said that Lego is a fast moving product and they dont need to put it on sale. There are a few other shops like Borders, Hamleys and The Toy Store that sells lego. There used be a lego store, but that closed down :-( Lego Minifigures can be bought at $3.99 ( taxes included) One of the store has a sealed Millenium Falcon 10179 for $ 5400

First of all...I really like black and red. There is just something about that color combination. Second, I had no idea who Jek-14 was. I saw this set on Amazon about 10-12 months ago. I thought the set looked really cool but had no vested interest because I was unaware of the Yoda Chronicles. When I finally got back from overseas this summer, I asked my kids. Boy did they rave about Jek-14 and his exploits. We watched the Yoda Chronicles together and I thought it was a funny series and the Jek-14 was an interesting character... So I bought the set. Just built it tonight. Only took an hour and a half with some "help" from time to time from the kids... Here is how the build looked: Opened the box and poured out bag #1. Jek-14 thought he'd supervise. Jek checking out my work after bag 1 was finished. Bag 2 done and he's not quite sure what to make of this contraption without wings. He said he could build it faster. Bag 3 was finished quickly and he was in a rush to load the holocrons so he insisted R4 help him out. Once bag 4 was done and there was finally a wing...he thought he'd inspect to make sure it was attached correctly. R4 was "supervising." Final product. Jek seems happy. He threw on his helmet and was ready to take off! Overall I think this is a cool looking set with a great minifig in Jek-14. The Special Forces Clone Trooper is cool as well. I always have fun building LEGO so the fact that this was fun is no real surprise. It's not up there with R2 or some Technic I've put together...but a nice quick build while kids were taking turns taking showers and getting ready for bed. I do have one boxed up in my closet as well in case this becomes an item in demand for the holidays. P.S. Sorry you have to turn your head for the first few pics...lesson learned for next time.

So. You will risk not getting one so you can possibly get a $20 polybag ? Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

Flown all around there. never got off base in bahrain though. I believe th prices. But gas in qatar is 29cents/liter so that makes up for it.

I built the 42004 Mini Backhoe Loader. Simple, quick build. But pretty awesome. I really enjoy the Technic line and this one didn't disappoint at all. The playability level is superb. 5 different action functions that are easy to use. The set is sturdy and a great one to play with. Kids and adults should both really enjoy this set. Well worth it! Definitely exceeds expectations for the price point.

I still have some 2011 K~REO Tranformers left that I got at 75% off. Nobody really wants them.

If I were to make a time lapse of a building, I guess I would finishing the building first, then remove one brick and take a picture, then rince and repeat. Doing so, and reversing the pictures in the end, you can have a very "natural" time-lapse feeling, where the set is built strictly from bottom to top, and remains in a steady position.

I like the second Frauenkirche. Gorgeous piece. Incredible work. Too bad no specs of it. I wonder how many bricks goes into that building and how much time!

Except they called one of the new characters Fluminox. That sounds more like a heartburn medication to me :D

Only two ??? We will have to create multiple accounts...

Yeah! Buy it! Buy it, RIGHT NOW! Heh heh. (Sounded like Beavis right there, didn't I?)
