I just have to say...The TB is an incredible model to display. I'm a huge fan of large intricate sets and the TB is truly awesome for those of you who haven't seen it built. Like a previous post, I never get tired of looking at and admiring it. I've had mine set up and on display for at least 3 years now. This is what I've done to it...I know that its not exactly to scale, but it was pretty fun and I think it looks cool.

Every year is expensive...

Well at least this confirms two characters for the second series of Simpsons minifigures. I have no idea where the dog will end up unless there really will be a second set of the Kwik-E-Mart or perhaps he will get stuck beside one of the other fourteen possible characters. Please note these are works-in-progress. Source: The Brick Fan

I love it when you have 1/2 a dozen big packages to ship out and they are all for EBay Global Shipping Program customers. I live close to Kentucky, so I know all these packages will be less than $8 to ship and most under $6.

It's on the Internet so it's definitely legit.

I'm not sure why they decided to omit Luke (as a minifig). He's common too, of course, but it is his ship. An X-Wing without Luke is like the Tumbler without Batman.

paid $20.78 for Minecraft 'The Cave' 21113 and sold it on Ebay today for $43 + shipping. My first flip! Yay! I think this is going to get addicting...

No, a list of fruitcakes to avoid is not allowed on the forums, from what I have read here.

I'm sold. Now i have to go track down seven more pet shops.

Someone on Eurobricks posted a picture of the back. Interesting to note what's on the back - only three modulars - DO, PC, and PR. No PS, no GE, no TH.

Just snagged a Fire Temple 2507 NISB for $150 shipped off eBay.

Depending on how many you have, I would sell a few this Christmas, and wait till next Christmas to sell a majority of them. I think the price will level off around $150-$175 after next Christmas, so there would be no reason to hold it longer.

Can a Mod change the thread title, please? We now have pics!

Why the spoiler tag you ask? Well, let us just say like many of Citizen Bricks' other products, this too is rather 'adult' in material. Don't get weird though; it's still Lego for Pete's sake. Besides it's hilarious and check out those dollar bills! This should be right at home next to the Breaking Bad meth lab. I practically forgot the website link for purchase. Sorry about that.

I don't know, but he'll sell great in a couple years.

Bought my first sets of Series 3 Mixels at 20% off and 25% off white 6" Boba Fetts at Walgreens.

I think he was pointing to the lack of town hall, grand emporium and pet shop. All of these are expected to retire soon and the packaging lends more credence to the ps retiring sooner rather than later.

According to usps.com, express will take 3-5 business days on average, while priority will take 6-10 business days on average

I cleared out stock yesterday at 165 euros a time so there is still hope but every day less.

Having done a quick mental math calculation I conclude the answer is unequivabley 42.

US$ 64.25 source: usps.com priority mail express international: $60.40 insurance for $600: $3.85 total: $64.25 maximum length + girth = 108 inches

How long will PS last now. Blink and you'll miss it. Think I'll grab a couple sooner than I'd planned.

No, no. Jabba's Palace was a mosque, or so went the complaint. If it had 'been' a church, there wouldn't have been an uproar.

Well, less than 1 now

Thanks Ex

Wow. spot on on all accounts. That's amazing.

Your logic is sound.

I'm a little bit underwhelmed by this. For me it is a step backwards from Parisian Restaurant and also Palace Cinema. It looks a bit too generic for my taste, too Pet-Shoppy kind of normal. On the one hand it would of course be difficult long-term to let every building in the line really stand out on its own making the modulars street more of a "freaky street" over time, because every house is something special (which is rather unrealistic - while the buildings themselves ARE meant to look realistic). On the other hand who really wants to have buildings that just look too normal getting an everyday (realistic) street? I think from here it will become even more difficult for Lego to decide what to do next. Should the sets become even more extravagant or should they tone it down a bit - like they did with the Detective Agency? I can even imagine interest in general fading slowly - starting here.

I have Mixelitis. BAD. Just got 40 more series 2 today to help round out a few more sets.

If you donate 1000 to me via a PayPal I wills advise you on how to tell the great difference between the two. Great deal for you. Come again.

Yeah, well, we cleared out two more TRUs of Series 2 Mixels today, putting together a few more sets. My sources of Series 2 aren't completely dried up yet, so I'll continue hoarding them (until I turn into a Mixel!).

You just shared it.

Nice to know there are some BP buddies in Montreal. For the Target Gift Guide book, sorry I didn't make it clear and accurate, it is the Target Toy Catalogue, see here: http://flyers.target.ca/flyers/targetcanada-catalogue4?sf_any=true&flyer_run_id=38592&type=1&locale=en&postal_code=h4g2s6&store_code=3704#!/flyers/targetcanada-catalogue4?flyer_run_id=38592. If you don't have one don't worry, as I said in Target they have this booklet piled at every checkout, so just feel free to grab some. I didn't clear the shelf because of following reasons: 1. I just spent about $600 on Lego in Walmart this passed Thursday, so I got a feeling of a little bit been drown by Lego sets... 2. These sets have a long time to reach their EOL, that means capital spent one them will sleep for a while. 3. The only SW set is of Clone Wars, and other sets are from Lego Movie theme, I'm not sure on their investment potential. 4. It is only 50% off (Yes I'm way tooooo much greedy) But I do get some for the coming festival season and my kids, they are: 1. 75013 Star Wars * 4 2. 70804 Lego Movie * 3 3. 70806 Lego Movie * 1 4. 70812 Lego Movie * 1 I visited Target at Angrignon mall and Target at Brossard. I heard a target buddy told an old lady, who want to buy 60049 that they will sure get new shipment of that set in near future, so they might replenish daily (or weekly?) Btw I found in Target Brossard they didn't tag all sets correctly as in Target Angrignon, so 75013 is still labelled $64.99 and 75054 $129.99 but just give it a scan you will find the happy truth. Also in Target Brossard they still have plenty of 70804 and 70806 at around 3:00 pm today. If you have extra energy then you should visit Target store in Candiac ( I didn't go there today) because I believe stores outside Montreal Island will have far less visitors and much higher possibility that you will not be facing empty shelves when you get there. Good luck!

I found some series 1 mixels in the wild today, and the pet salon for $21 and some kickbacks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

The 2nd issue (tumbler on the cover) arrived 2 weeks ago. Quality content.

I think the sheer number of hoarders in the horde will keep retired sets under the MF.

Especially not Nano Bricks!

You guys sure? Looks legit to me.

Just get back from 2 Target stores in Great Montreal area. Yes Target is doing 50% off clearance on quit some Lego sets. From my memory they are: 1. 75013 Star Wars 2. 42023 (? not sure) Technic 3. 60049 City 4. 70804 Lego Movie 5. 70806 Lego Movie 6. 70812 Lego Movie No Ultra Agent sets or TMNT sets on sale here in Montreal, so although this sale is country wide but seems the sets that had been chosen to on sale is local specific. Btw, remember to apply coupon at the end of Target Gift Guide book -- for this week it is buy $100 or more discount $20. So if you find AT-AT (it is still on sale in Target for $109.99) and use this coupon, then you get $89.99. You should be able to find this guide at each check out of every Target Store. Enjoy!

I agree with this post. I don't think the news will cover my story. "Guy sells Lego on craigslist, no one gets hurt"

well, just sold that Department 56 LEGO Creation Station ornament i posted on wednesday ... $170 ...

With all due respect, if you consider building a LEGO set work, then you will never truly understand LEGO and the finer points of LEGO investing. I am not trying to put you down in anyway. You can be a successful LEGO investor without really "getting it, " just like people invest in stocks or other commodities. Many intelligent people can invest in products they really don't care about and do very well. But I think if you really enjoy the LEGO brick and building LEGO sets, you can take that information and utilize it to your advantage when investing in sets. There is no doubt that some LEGO sets are tedious builds, but I cannot explain the feeling of accomplishment and enjoyment one receives from building with LEGO bricks. It's sort of like investing in wine or fine art. Either you get it or you don't and those who get it have a distinct advantage over those who don't.

Lock three in a closet, forget about those for a few years, and then build the forth one.

This MOC is truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous! JEM by fujiia, on Flickr

Was lucky enough to get tickets and saw John Butler Trio a couple nights ago. Dude played for over two hours straight. My ears are still ringing. Been a while.

I don't think they plan that much forward with aged sets. In the light of recent events I deem that information unlikely, although anything can happen.

I heard that it is a detective agency that is comprised of two parts (like the pet shop). There is a pool hall on the first floor and a detective agency on the second floor. On the other part of the building, there is a barber shop on the first floor and an apartment above this. It sounds amazing!
