Doing last minute xmas shopping at walmart and found series 1 mixels on shelf, went home with all 45 Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

Good day today. 4 Fallingwaters - $60 1 Robie House - $160

Time to go watch Christmas Vacation and hear Randy Quaid say good morning .............. While emptying his sewage. This is the first movie I took my wife to for our first date and she married me anyways.

Looks like Jabba's Sail Barge is in stock again @ $70 for those who missed it last time

i don't think there can be a dud on the seasonal line. they all do well and are all popular. is it the best, no but this will do quite well and should always go in the center of everyone's town collection. it pulls it all together. stop worrying and hold.

Picked up a half-built 10188 Death Star yesterday from CL. First two boxes opened and built, but the last two boxes are still sealed. It came with the instruction manual, box, and shipping box. $200 and he delivered.

75078 - Imperial Troop Transport 75079 - Shadow Troopers 75081 - T-16 Skyhopper 75082 - TIE Advanced Prototype 75090 - Erza's Speeder Bike

Driving from Los Angeles to Portland for Christmas. Stopped at Woodbine Outlet just south of Portland. Prices at TOys R Us outlet not good; grumbling. Until I saw the series 1 Mixels. Sure, I'll pay $5.50 for a Mixel!!! I may have got the last of them. Sent from my XT1028 using Brickpicker mobile app

Thanks for running the show terry! I am definitely down to play next year.

Nothing for me (I can gift myself all year long, and do), but a bike shop and a Frozen set for two of my little ones.

Here are the two I'm wearing (tonight and tomorrow). Which one to wear tonight? Decisions. Decisions. Decisions. Ha Post your sweater pics

My eyes...they are bleeding. <edit to add> I don't have any ugly christmas sweaters, but I'll take this moment to show off my sweater dreamgirl: http://www.lesliehall.com/gemsweater/gallery/gallery1.htm

It is never too early to start buying this set.

If this was a final run then they will be at $50 in the USA quickly. HK buyers are already at $50. If this is not a final run then that is what 90 day free returns are for.

Minecraft The Mine and Ender Dragon for the boy. Diamond Armor Steve is MUCH anticipated...

Where can I find the '79 Yugo? Is that an exclusive? I don't see it on LEGO Shop at Home anywhere...

Jabba's Palace for the older one and Double Decker Couch for the younger one. If I'm being honest, they both probably deserve coal instead.

Last one I got was 41

Lego 79016 half price at walmart http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/lego-loftr-and-hobbit-attack-on-lake-town-79016/6000189233623

agreed, but if one is looking to buy a seizable amount better to start early .

I have the warm fuzzies. I just sold an ender dragon set to a dad who drove over 2 hrs so that he could make his boy's Christmas wish come true. This is what Christmas is all about.... going to any length to get this year's hot holiday toy or have your kid hate you forever.

Sub-$10 set... I'll allow it. But you're a bad person. You're a bad person.

Is there a ban for this site? This almost deserves it! Maybe at least a Kragle-badge? Really...

Chima and Star Wars, my son is getting this:

70220 - Strainor's Saber Cycle 70221 - Flinx's Ultimate Phoenix 70222 - Tormak's Shadow Blazer 70223 - Icebite's Claw Driller 70224 - Tiger's Mobile Command

76026 - Gorilla Grodd Goes Bananas

For personal collection, you're not going to get a better price than that, so go for it. For investment, the set has only been out 6 months, so it's likely going to be around another 18 months (which is the trend with most exclusives) - your money would be better spent elsewhere.

Not overly sure on the Mixer, I bought one for a quick flip when they first launched and was lucky to break even. I've had one on eBay for a couple of months ranging from $200 - $250 (later with free shipping) but haven't had a bite. I think that this set falls down is with the exposure (only at DJ) and where it fits in? Modulars, WVM? Depends if you want to drop $150 on that, or put it against something like a PC, etc.

I bought Lego gifts for me too, as I know what I like. It makes perfect sense... Ex Astris, Scientia.

It's not needed. If you get a quality utility knife and get comfortable using it, you can score boxes easier and faster. The flatter the knife the easier to use. Something like this is what I recommend. Just simply lay the item in the box, lay knife on item, then score away. You just use the items surface as your guide.

Nicely done. I wish I had been paying attention to the Snow Plow. I bought one for myself at an extremely good price ($13), but didn't pay attention to how hot they were. I could have loaded up on them and made a nice penny or two.

Thanks for sharing, Raven! I don't operate on a scale anywhere near your's, but I'm always willing to pick up a tool to make my job a bit easier (and cut costs). At this point, I'm able to sustain my shipping with boxes I get from online orders, stores, etc., so multi-depth boxes aren't really an issue, but I'll definitely keep it in mind for the future. Thanks again!

Also just able to carry a few box sizes less. We use 24x16x12 a lot in our daily operations and with the sizer you can change the depth easily as thats a common size for us. They make a 24x16x12 multi depth but with the indented lines the boxes lose some of there stability doing it that way so I rather use the non multi depth version and cut it to my size. In the instance of this box size the 24x16x12 is also the cheapest of the bunch by 12 cents to 20 cents a box. Not a ton but when you use a lot it does ad up.

Great ffl Terry - thanks for organizing.

Thanks for running the league Terry. Much appreciated. Congrats plasticmanor. Amazing record, amazing team!

Congrats to the plasticmanor for winning our first ever brickpicker fantasy football championship! It was a fun season and hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves, even if your season wasn't as successful as you had hoped. I have sent the prize money to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers via a paypal friends payment. If you choose to spend your winnings on a lego set(s), please take a picture and show us what you won. I'll run the league again next season since it seems like we will have enough interest again.

Yeah, with the week 47 run and it due back in stock at Amazon (and presumably elsewhere) there should be availability for several months now. I'm not sure about 2016 retirement unless one expects Jan. 2016 as the official retirement date, but if it behaves like other hard to find sets this year, Death Star could be very hard to find everywhere come late summer or early fall. The new movie may only expedite the retirement process depending on Lego production schedules. This set will do very well in retirement despite its lengthy life IMO.

New Meijer delivery drivers in Ohio area:

Does your gut hate money? I don't really get all the funhouse hate and the knee jerk reaction to a rumor about a new "Jokerland" set. The funhouse was available almost this entire year at TRU markup. Despite that, it is selling for $80 on Amazon right now. That's pretty good for a $40 MSRP set that many folks were able to get for $30 or get it with some freebies. Effectively, its only been retired for a few months given the TRU availability. But hey, if people want to rush and dump now based on a set we haven't even seen then that's their choice. Maybe people are just being impatient for having to hold the set for so long? That is a risk that is taken when purchasing TRU exclusives. On the flip side, people were being criticized for "dumping" their Quinjets. Which is a set that has performed below most expectations post retirement, been retired longer than the funhouse (or to put it another way, been gone from primary retail channels longer than the funhouse) and we have actually seen official pics of what the remake is gonna look like which is coming out in a few months. What if the new jokerland sets actually pairs with the funhouse?

Bought a Tower Bridge on EBay last night, since I had some discounted gift cards and wanted to take advantage of the EBay bucks promo. Has anyone purchased from Niko at New-Sealed? He has crazy prices on some stuff, but decent prices on others. His store disturbs me to the core, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Report REGARDLESS of whether you hit the 20K and they report. Don't mess with the IRS. They are the only bill collector who can knock your door down and take your stuff WITHOUT going to court first. They are the only bill collector who can put you in jail. PayPal's reporting requirement has nothing to do with your reporting requirement.

As a fan of the entire series of books and movies I have let it cloud my judgement a bit with the LEGO sets. I still think there is hope for future performance and think that once the theme is gone for good people will realize they missed out on it. It's a theme that will likely never be revisited. As a fan, I just wish there was one more wave of LOTR sets to round out the Two Towers and Return of the King characters and locations that they never got to.

Don't listen to the hipster critics on the new hobbit movie, it r0x0rs b0x0rs. They found the "multiple storylines" confusing. I would image they also find tic-tac-toe a strategic quagmire, as the movie only had 2 major locations: lake town and the mountain. Almost no unnecessary dialog and loose ends were tied. Did a nice job foreshadowing what was coming in LotR. I loved the cameo of a LotR protagonist in his good form during the witch king battle. I couldn't turn off the lego investor as I watched. All I kept saying was "YES YES YES". May be too little too late, but hopefully the older sets get a nice bump from the closing of the series. I for one can't wait to finish my collection now and will enjoy a LotR / Hobbit marathon during Christmas break

This was a funny post Migration!!! Just saw it today. My wife is laughing her ass off right now! She's slightly offended by the age thing, but we do have one cat(not quite a house full). She's slowly working on her Christmas Green Grocer which is coming out just as obnoxious. I just personally like the HOHOHO part, worked out well.
