Here is newbiecollect's prize from the contenst of a Red Five T Shirt and Microfighter X Wing ready to roll. The t shirt looks actually better in person than on the website. Congratulations again!

My wallet is not happy that these sets are looking so awesome.

Perhaps TLG just retired the 60051 and 60052 models to renew it with a helicopter (and perhaps flick missiles)? Didn't you read the memo?

hi guys, i

That reminds me that Disney stated that they will stick to the original stuff and will release a Legacy Blu-Ray. It means that at Disney Han shot first, no Hayden ghost and other crap. So if I look at it this way, Disney does some good to the franchise too. It actually preserves integrity more than Lucas did with the modifications.

HH before hallowee SSD, R2D2 before episode 7 ... so on

Taj Mahal 10189 Used Complete $1400 plus shipping Eiffel Tower 10181 Used no instructions $1000 plus shipping Emerald Night Train 10194 Used Complete $335 plus shipping I purchased all of them from a used bulk lot on Craigslist and still have Grand Carousel 10196 and Winter Village Toy Shop 10199 left to sell from the bulk lot I bought for $1300 total. Great day indeed! Plus the Fire Brigade from that lot (but that one is happily sitting in my own collection)

Some photos from the NY Toy Fair:

Custom? Why not use this ?

Time to custom-print some Mr. Grey minifigs...

I take back what I said earlier......TAKE MY MONEY!!!

BTW simpsons house is limit 1 on SAH US, signs of EOL? still on the shelves at my BMs

Don't be afraid of the Disney logo. Embrace it. Star Wars fans won't care. It will only create new customers from the Disney fanatics. Case in point: we have friends that are obsessed with Disney. There are many, many more like them. My Facebook feed is proof of that. These particular friends are now obsessed with Marvel and Star Wars. They won't even touch Batman. I mean the kid doesn't even like Batman. It's diabolical and irrational, but that's what Disney fans are when it comes to their passions. If you sell LEGO, in particular Star Wars LEGO, Disney is your friend. They are creating customers for you left and right. The small square inch logo is well worth that price of my childhood integrity.

Other Toy Fair sets are out. Look at this... I want to puke. Hmh, it seem a little familiar. Oh, wait, I know...

Very nice. So yes... the pilot is a unique minifig. I wouldn't expect anything else from UCS. (Check out the sticker below the cockpit at 1:16. It seems even LEGO staff can't put the #^%^ things on straight.)

And one big mistake - white King on white field at the beginning and vice versa... (Beside this mistake this set is really crap comparing to the old Pirate chess set...) Further negative - as the fields have a stud in the middle a minifig can never stay exactly in the middle of the field but slihtly on the left or right... I would fire the designer... ;-)

I got a Cargo Terminal but am jealous of Exciters Arctic Supply Plane. Way to go! I froze for 2 hours literally for the Zelda console and experienced some of the rudest people ever and did not get one (nor did anyone else but the first person in line which was vindicating and enjoyable). I ordered $2,000 of Zelda consoles only to have them cancelled and get a target $15 gift card to go with my $100 of best buy cancelled MM gift cards. I received in 3 MM Ultimate Edition statues & Guides with one of the Statue boxes having a kink and tear in it (ugh) but the other 2 are perfect (yeah). I found 2 farnsworth for $48 each including tax out the door. Search your BN the 15% off coupon works and you may find some. I have 15 sonic amiibos back ordered and ready to be cancelled at target But the icing on the cake was I had someone on BP rise above the occasion and is working out one heck of a fair exclusive Lego's from me for MM Console from him trade (for me personally not to sell). Brickpicker has some real genuine people. I am humbled.

My Arctic Supply Planes from tonight's S@H order are now In Warehouse.

"Fabrication" is a bit harsh. There's been solid data and info this last week that point to a *possible* retirement of 60052 (and maybe 60051). - 60052 (and 60051) are listed as "Sold Out" on SAH on every site except US/Canada. - Pictures and discussion of a new cargo train, 60098 have been published the last 2 days, including on respected blogs. - 60098 duplicates much of 60052, including similar rolling stock and inclusion of power functions, track, a cargo terminal, and accessories. - 60098 is clearly NOT an HE replacement, it's numbered in the City series. - 60052 has been discounted world-wide the last 10 days - at least one stock manager told a BP member that the discounts "were at the direction of the supplier" - other BP members have talked with B&M managers, who've said 65002 "isn't coming back into stock if another train is released" The above isn't "fabrication". In fact, its an intriguing set of clues. Which is why the retirement discussion has heated up. Even our own Ed has chimed in saying this wouldn't be unprecedented. Take all this for what its worth. Personally, such discussion and facts are a reason this site is so awesome. I've made some decisions on this whole matter and spent a bit of money to back it up; like all things here, it may or may not be correct and result in a payoff.

SOLD my Mr. Gold for $1099.

hi guys, i

After the initial announcement I was worried, but mostly I think this theme gives a nice overall boost to the MF line. I can't remember where I read it, but I seem to recall that Halloween is the second most popular 'decorating' holiday in US/CAN, and who wouldn't want a large layout?

Clearly, the Friends design team didn't get the helicopter memo. Go rotary or go home.

Wow--an exclusive (so far) minifigure in a Jr's set--Green Goblin is a must have for Spidey fans.

Here's some speculating for you... Since the Exo-Suit was announced as retiring at the end of February...maybe we'll get a big wave of official retirements along with this one?

The monorail was awesome. I also loved the Tree House of Horror episodes....The Raven and the house that implodes on itself.....classic.

I got two Barnes and Noble 15% coupon. Not going to use them since my BN stores are coupon Nazis. Give me a PM if you want one. Edit: All gone.

so basically a day in the life of a BP'er

Lmfao! You know how to reach me :p

Nice man! That things badass!

Weird Walmart day. 1x Benny spaceship $68.00. Box a bit beat up but what-evs! 1x heartlake shopping mall $72.00???? $37 under retail? What-Evs!

Shipping to Amazon's warehouses I usually use 24 x 18 x 18 boxes from Home depot or Walmart. I do re-use boxes from amazon or any other all the time- usually either larger boxes for oversized shipments or smaller stuff. Just use my judgement and make sure the stuff is packed well and the boxes don't crumple. I've seen my ups guy pack all of it in the truck.. it needs to withstand a beating.

The past two days in this thread make me long for the days when there was actual news to report and discuss. Everyone who is freaking out over the early retirement of 60052 (if that is indeed what is happening) clearly hasn't been around for very long. Every year, TLG retires sets unexpectedly after very short runs at retail. Off the top of my head, I can recall #3222, Butterfly Beauty Salon, and Zombies falling into that boat, as well as Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter, which was only around for what seemed like a minute in the U.S. before retiring. Although it's difficult to predict which sets this will happen to, it is hardly an uncommon occurrence...unless you try to define the issue as narrowly as one of the earlier posters (i.e., no train with a MSRP greater than $200 that carries the set number 60052 has ever retired in 6-12 months before this one).

Well sometimes we have a husband that doesn't get it. =) Probably doesn't help that I keep all the Lego sets in his "man cave."

and yet the shippers implemented dimensional pricing to try eliminate people using to large of shipping boxes when the biggest culprit of the practice is the online retailers who aren't paying the fees to begin with.

A refresh on the Mine? I doubt that will be soon. Even City Construction, which is done much more often, has at least four year gaps in refreshes.

I am really, really curious about that Private Jet and the Grand Hotel. Those sound like awesome, collectible sets! P.S. Darn you, Emma! Stop opening more kiosks!! P.P.S. TOK, your post reminds me of "Royals": But everybody's like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece. Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
