Hello BrickPickers... With the increased site traffic and the new Brick Classifieds forum launching soon, we have asked jaisonline and Bold-Arrow to be moderators. They have graciously accepted. Jeff is finishing up the Brick Classifieds and it looks and works great(He showed me this morning). We will be adding a few more moderators once the Brick Classifieds site and forum go live, preferably members that will be active on the Brick Classifieds and will be able to instruct others on how to use the Brick Classifieds and inform new users about the rules and regulations. More on that later... Ed Mack

We tried to celebrate women but a bunch of men bought them.

Heres a link to better pics. Great price too! 69.99 I really like it at that price. http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-creator-winter-village-santas-workshop-10245-officially-revealed/

Respect my Authoritah!!!

Now they have the power to delete your posts and not tell you why! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Great selections! Nice work BA and Ja

I loved that movie as a kid and still do.

There was also the girl from Adventures in Babysitting movie was dressed as Thor the entire movie.

I'm surprised Ciglione had left any in Europe.

I'm giving the master ebayer badge to frog! It's awesome to have someone who is so knowledgeable about a particular service!

https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/helpcenter/helphub/home/ If you've already been there and CS is closed, call them tomorrow. They'll walk you through the process. Basically, they may be willing to dispute the chargeback on your behalf. That doesn't mean they're going to win against the cc company, and if they don't, you don't either. Meanwhile, the money will be taken out of your account or backup funding source. If this buyer did the same thing to a lot of sellers, PayPal will be more likely to try to dispute it with the cc company. If you're the only one, you're probably out 12 bucks. If you had a brick and mortar store, you'd have shoplifters (and still have chargebacks ) - it's annoying as heck when it happens, but you figure it into your cost of doing business and you move on.

One of the guys who restored the original Delorean made his own modified Lego BttF set

My parents would have thought this totally acceptable. Back when I was 7 you could leave your kids for 90 minutes in the toy store. Especially me, i would take that long to decide what I wanted. As a parent today, I don't even leave my kids unattended in my back yard.

Not sure if anyone has talked much about who might be buying or interested in buying but I wanted one for my niece and one for my daughter. This is the kind of set that could be a very special graduation gift in 10-15 years. How many other Dads/Uncles are thinking the same. I think the sky is the limit and if it is gone. Mr Mack may be right SSD for a RI? Might be a good deal! Sent from my Passport using Brickpicker mobile app

I got a Black Pearl and a Queen Ann's Revenge MISB

Another iteration of that would be 10 Exos tearing apart Big Mini

My concern with this is the lack of clear identification that it is a licensed Mini product. No sticker and no identifying anywhere on the bag that it is. The mini Camper though did and had a VW licence and logo on the bag. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

Not a mistake. The set was never available in the US.

It could go either way. The polybag may be in high demand during Christmas which would make the price go higher, but it may not. I would sell them now just to be safe. Polybags are usually worth the most when they are just released, especially the promos.

Last few days on Craigslist, sold 7939 Cargo Train for $175, 7744 Police Headquarters for $50(used), 9471 Uruk Hai Army for $40, and 9472 Weathertop for $50, and 10215 ObiWan Starfighter for $100. Not tons of profit, but no shipping and ebay fees either.

I have no idea. Not really my setup. Got it from the internet and replaced the CNBC news screen with Lego video, a couple of other screens with TRU and AMZ homepages :)

Good stuff tok, so much awesome in this thread!!

It looks more like the F-Zero Blue Falcon to me.

I am worried that the rage over 21109 and 21110 carries down to Ecto-1 and wipes it away. And I say worried as I have none of this one. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

Not sure if you following closely this thread, but lego did send letters indication more to be produced, but it remains to be seen what amounts the mean by "more", maybe only to fill backorders

He's making a big one to go back in time. Just missing the flux capacitor.

To build? Why do I have a hunch that you will build and display each version?

As a seller, I've had numerous chargebacks filed against me. I was even a target of some scammers and hit with a large series of chargebacks on the low end items and also the sale of several iPads. In the end, as long as I had signature confirmation on orders over $250 and delivery confirmation on orders under $250, then I was covered by seller protection and never lost a single penny. I've never had an item not as described chargeback, only for alleged items not rec'd. Always use tracking info if you can't afford to lose a chargeback. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

Yes, but you risk cancellation (nothing to lose, really, amazon may enforce, may not. It's inconsistent). Even if you use multiple accounts. Technically the order limits reset every week, meaning you could buy the limit today and then buy the limit next week while not exceeding the ordering limits.

what happens now was happening then except you didnt hear of it on every one of 1000 channels avilable these days that feed fear to the public

After your previous post, I just picked up the last 2 RIs at my local TrU. Got the manager to check inventory, nothing left around.

I was exaggerating. I should have said 'bajillions'.

The world might not have changed as much as you think. Perception almost certainly has though. Just lookup "Mean world syndrome". And well - be surprised. While I don't think 90 minutes of "playtime" in even a Lego store is a good choice by the parent, arrest it a totally inappropriate response. If the police or store owners think that a Lego store isn't safe enough for children they should probably think hard about why, and do something about _that_.

Pros: quick flip with it in hand, you stand to triple your money. Cons: long term, when this is completely done, does this go higher? Short term, when the market gets flooded in a couple days, does your $70 buyer return it?

It really does make a difference when you are a parent. Some coworkers at work had this discussion and the guys without kids think no big deal. But when you are responsible for a little person and you hear all the terrible things that can happen to kids these days it's eye opening. I agree arrest is an extreme measure.

I fit in the age range you stated and I have a child. Granted she is 4 months I couldn't fathom leaving my child alone in a store with absolutely no one I trust. With that being said, at that age I had no problem being unattended and I'd rather would have been there then shopping with my mom. I disagree with the mother's choices but arresting her is a little extreme

If LEGO stops production of the RI here, you might wish you took me up my offer. ;-) Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

Just picked up a a sealed Maersk train 10219 off CL this morning. Have been wanting this set for a long time.

Between the parts I have on hand and 3 Bricklink orders, I was able to put 2 x SDCC batmobiles together for about $30. Now I need to figure out the cheapest way to get my hands on the Juniors minifigs.

I have two children. Never in the history of humankind has any mother been blessed with smarter, more attractive, better-behaved daughters than I have. It would have been stupid, tacky, and dangerous to leave them alone in a store for 90 minutes when they were aged 7. I don't have any problem with this woman being arrested, hopefully it will frighten her enough to act like she has a brain in the future, even if it's only an act. Even presuming that one can pedophile-proof a 7 year old (you can't - hey little boy, like LEGO? Come out to my car and I'll give you some free ones! Heck, half the 27 year olds on this site would probably fall for that one at the LEGO store but at least they're big enough to fight back), in what universe is it okay to use store clerks as free babysitters? The answer to someone's earlier question: how old is old enough? Not 7. Maybe a few 10 year olds, probably most 12 year olds. I, too, was raised in the days when children were turned loose out the back door basically as soon as they could walk. The good old days weren't always good and my siblings and my friends and I experienced some unhappy outcomes from what some would call freedom, some would call neglect. And "what we used to do" doesn't make it okay in today's society - like it or not, rules and norms change.

The amount of money I've tied up in this stupid thing is crazy. I had what i wanted, but I can't resist getting more when they pop back up.

Beyond comprehension? Have you done your math on the 21104? If you have and don't see why, goes beyond my comprehension. You seem to forget that sets from multiple vendors and the consequences you pointed out are there for 99% of the sets Lego releases, thus reinforcing the hoarding need for the remaining 1% of these limited sets. Look at the prices that this one and 21109 are already fetching. And it depends on what you call a nice stash. Maybe Lego will play blind if you order a wee bit over the limit for certain sets, but if you try to pull a "I'm to smart to be caught by you" you are rolling the dice there and ban hammer may be waiting for you.

The misses doesn't appreciate my updated collection so I thought I would share it with those who might.

I found a Helms Deep set 9474 at Toys'r us for $38. I think that's my best find in 2+ years I've been build LEGO.

As many are aware, it was reported the building instruction manual fell apart on many people. It was prob due to glue used and the binding process. TLG sent me 2 updated books. The revised manuals have wider bindings, slightly less cover gloss, and a different code on the back (ending now in 796 instead of 686). Attached are pics of two new books and 1 older one. The older book is in the middle. Notice even the cover picture has shifted on the new books. Sent from an iPhone using the Brickpicker app

I mentioned yesterday about Jersey Jack Pinball's The Wizard of Oz machine but I don't know how many have seen it yet let alone heard of it. Well allow me to simply state it is an incredibly beautiful work of art. I will just let these images and videos speak for themselves as I cannot portray its magnificence through measley words.
