  2. I'm just glad I have plenty from the 2013 run, since they're better than the 2014's, but still not as scary as the Canadian version. These guys show up at your door and take them back!

  4. thanks guys, im glad i was able to pay back the great users of this site as it has been a big help to my newfound investing hobby/business. this one was a real lucky break..i wasn't intending to buy the camper but it had previously been sitting in my cart and when i switched between regions, a screen popped up saying that the minicamper promo wasnt avail in my region. i thought it was just a wrong image (ie instead of the spaceman), but i switched back to US region and added the big camper, and voila..promo heaven!

  6. You're wrong, unless you mean you'll make a UPS claim for the money to refund the buyer for the damaged item. As the seller, you are responsible for the item arriving to the buyer in the condition it was described. If your shipping company damages the item, that's on you, and both eBay and PayPal will back the buyer on that. Re: partial refunds vs. returns - I agree that partial refunds are often the cheaper way to go, but keep in mind that sellers caving to these over and over has created a small percentage of buyers on eBay who claim there's something wrong with everything they get, to get a little money back. Requiring a return for a full refund spikes their guns nicely - they don't want to send stuff back, they want to keep it and get some money back too - so if the buyer is one of these numpties they won't take the offer of a full refund upon return, they'll just go away.

  8. It has been a while since I updated what I have built so here goes: August - Mini Cooper - half of it I built in the back seat of my car when I took a driving break and the other half of the set I built in my hotel. Good build, except for the size of the steering wheel and gearshift. End August/Early September - 10190 Market Street, 10185 Green Grocer and two more floors of the 10211 ***. Emporium - the picture shows a couple of missing pieces but those are in a ziploc bag on top or behind. Market Street is really a boring build and it doesn't fit with the grandeur of the other modulars. The main issue is the market, it has to go at the end of a block or with something on top of it as it looks out of place. Green Grocer is a great build with lots of interesting details and different pieces. It looks great and in my opinion has the best exterior design. Even if you don't collect/build modulars, I think that everyone will appreciate this set. This weekend was a busy one with 3 builds: My girlfriend finally finished her Tumbler, she was building one bag a day until yesterday's 3 bag finale. I can't comment much on the build other than it is a really large set and the left and right front corner panels are not secure. This is a difficult set to move around but as a display piece, it is awesome. Yesterday, I built the 4483 AT-AT. I had never built an AT-AT so I had no expectations. It's a weak build with a lot of structural issues, but it still looks good - I expect to sell this and trade up to the new one (based on the link that another member posted this week) I also built the 10187 Beetle over the weekend. First, I had to dust/clean the pieces to make sure everything was there (one minor piece missing that I don't have). It was an awkward build and fortunately Lego outlined the location of every piece in the instructions otherwise it would have been painful. I was surprised at the size of the beast but It really needs tiles to stand out so I will quickly sell this one. Time for a building break

  9. Some ideas of what the sets will be like with prelim pictures http://www.familienshopping24.de/SH-Black-Mantas-Angriff-id http://www.familienshopping24.de/SH-Gorilla-Grodds-Wutanfall http://www.familienshopping24.de/SH-Brainiacs-Attacke http://www.familienshopping24.de/SH-Darkseids-Ueberfall The "Super Jumper" addition is intriguing... turning minifigs into flick-fire missiles?

  14. I shared my Printable LEGO Label collection with many of you in the past, but I wanted to let you know that I just completed a large update which includes many common Technic parts. I got a *lot* of comments and emails indicating that you want more labels, so I hope you enjoy. A sample of the new Technic labels. The labels look great on any organization system.

  17. STAR WARS and City sets have remakes all the time. That is because LEGO wants to reintroduce these popular sets to a new group of kids on an annual basis. LEGO has worked this way for the past 15 years...at least. If they remake the 10179, so what? It's time, isn't it? The new movies are coming out and the Falcon is in it. It would be foolish not to reproduce the best LEGO set ever made. This has zero bearing on any of the hundreds of other top sets that will never be reproduced.

  18. I only have 13 and was waiting until October to get a few more. Perhaps ending up with 13 haunted houses was meant to be. That number seems to fit that set quite well.

  24. It will come back into stock. Maybe for a minute...Maybe for an hour...Maybe for a day...Maybe for a week...But they all usually come back into stock for a short time after the initial "Sold Out." After the remaining stock is accounted for and sold, the set usually retires shortly thereafter. For some sets, this process takes a few days...others a few months. I would think the HH is on the cusp of retirement.

  25. Looking over the pictures again....as much as we want Green Lantern, how is Gorilla Grood not the winner? You've got a Batman Mech, Wonder Woman in her Invisible Jet, Grood maxifigure, and Captain Cold. This one is the winner for me.

  26. Yeah I've been clamoring for an Orthanc sized Rapunzel Tower. You know what's missing from the Elsa Castle set? A troll-sized Marshmallow!! (With a hole on the top of his head for an optional crown)

  31. I would phrase it differently - catalog, at the time of its design phase, reflects the availability picture as of that time, which could change drastically by the time catalog is actually printed and delivered. There are some folks here familiar with printing process - they can tell approximate lead times for something to be printed on a scale that Lego has to do it.

  32. I haven't done the ST exemption in a Walmart Brick & Mortar yet, so can't address that. Target is super easy - you have your certificate and they do it at the regular checkouts. Takes just an extra minute. Kmart you have to go to customer service, usually takes me maybe 10 minutes or so (part of this is them calling to manager to figure out how to do it. ) TRU haven't tried yet. All the stores have been very cooperative and helpful, and I have been super patient and friendly which I'm sure helps. Even when they're dumb as bricks, I keep smiling and keep my tone of voice very, very nice.

  33. I keep reading stuff like this and my eyes glaze over because it makes no sense whatsoever to me. Is there a thread or something that explains this? I have a TRU CC, but I still have no idea what this means.

  40. Man, this really is one of the better series with such a diverse selection in likeable characters. There is just so much army building potential and look at all those new parts! Wizard: classic wizard's cap (about time) Hun Warrior: headgear, cape Fairytale Princess: royal cap with hair Battle Goddess: headgear with hair, dress 'step' skirt Space Miner: helmet (another design, yes!) Prospector: hat Dino Tracker: long ponytail hair Rock Star: sweet f'ing guitar! Piggy Guy: headgear Genie Girl: hair (same as Dino Tracker) Spooky Girl: hair (the 'cut' is different) It will be unfortunate if Lego continues with the their $4 retail but then again after how slow The Simpsons moved at that price to where the regular retailers quickly lowered it back to the $3 price tag after the release, this may not be much of a problem to worry about. At least one good thing from The Simpsons minifigures I was really hoping would find its way into other designs are the molded shirt sleeves (and ergo the legs too for future designs I imagine). These are perfect on the Pizza Delivery Guy who I need a few for my own pizzeria and the Video Game Guy that doesn't look anything like the DJ save for having the same hairpiece but in a different color. I'm not surprised with a male companion to the original female Lifeguard not as if anyone should actually. Lego has a pattern of making a male or female version of an earlier design to go opposite of it. (Just look at all the skaters and snowboarders/skiers.) The Rock Star is pretty sweet especially for KISS fans as he is more heavy metal inspired whereas the Rocker Girl was 80's New Wave and the Punk Rocker was just that. It's nice to see the Girl Genie and I think I like her better than the male counterpart although he looked like the one from Disney
