I at least use an old GPS. These are the waypoints for the KMarts in my area. What can I say? I'm hooked on phonics. Actually, I'm waiting for my kids to lose my AOL CD before going to the next level.8 points

I have not picked up a lot in a long while as my kids are not as eager to sort and such. But I could not pass this up: brickset list 31003 31005 31008 3178 3182 7279 7279 7239 3182 8052 70002 7743 9390 8083 7285 2194 8065 6912 3835 4642 8086 6187 4996 8084 8083 7915 6166 3179 5898 8896 7206 5970 5969 5981 5985 8211 5865 6742 6741 5765 5866 5891 4996 7213 3221 4645 3368 7639 7287 5891 9464 9463 4182 7741 7688 3365 2182 7610 7241 40012 7236 8057 79423 points

There is no reason to change it. Going public is usually to raise money. Unless they are cash poor with expansion directives there would be no reason. The fact that they are private and have done so well is very telling. No public reporting, no activist investors, no shorting against the stock. There objective is their customers, not the stock holders and that is a good thing.3 points

Over the last couple of days (since the Walmart success), I've picked up the following: eBay: Kai's Fire Mech 70500 - $6 Han Solo polybag - $7 Darkseid Invasion 76028 - $55 Craigslist: Star Wars T-16 Skyhopper 75081 Star Wars Rebels TIE Advanced Prototype 75082 Star Wars Rebels AT-DP 75083 Star Wars Rebels Ezra's Speeder Bike 75090 Jabba the Hutt, Max Rebo, and Princess Leia in Gold Bikini from the Sail Barge set - all four sets were used, but on display, only missing the fighter pilot (not the Inquisitor) from the TIE Advanced, all for $60 Imperial Star Destroyer 10030 - a ridiculously low price that I won't mention here. Much lower than value. I work for the Marine Corps, and bought it from a Marine (who never put it together) who had bought it from another Marine. We were both told "there are only 4 or 5 missing pieces). The tub is full and heavy. At the price I got it at, it's worth the risk to see if it's mostly there. The instruction manual is included. This is my new "project" and I will be spending many nights tearing it apart, inventorying it, and putting it together.3 points

I'm scratching my head wondering what you're doing on the internet. How did you figure out the computer wasn't just a handy typewriter/calculator combo?3 points

None of these people did their homework. It would take 5 minutes on a tablet to find some good questions for this man. Squawk Box is about investing...right? They didn't ask one question about investing in LEGO or LEGO's profits or possibly going public. A fluff piece.2 points

Err, these interviewers were supposed to be journalist ? They came off as a bunch of clueless parents asking a manager of a LEGO store about the products. Where were the questions about future growth or plans or LEGO marketing strategy, .. anything ? Then I realized it was CNBC and the world made sense again2 points

You owe me 5 bucks. My name is copyrighted and protected and posting it requires a 5 dollar fee. Thanks.2 points

Really? IMHO there's only one way to read the message below: "it's done". This set was overwhelmingly popular and is no longer available for purchase. Please check back for new LEGO2 points

I just owe ravenb99 big time... I bought 4 from Toys R Us at MSRP and then said this thing is a dog I am going to return and he told me to keep them and if they lost out he would buy them from me. What a pal. I originally bought some off someone on brick picker somewhere saying someone said it was retiring... Turns out whoever said that was right on. I sold 2 of the 4 but collected 6 more at clearance prices. Happy.2 points

Let's take bets on how quickly Lego's website will go down. I predict that if this goes live at 12:00am, their site will stall at 12:00:01.2 points

Does anyone see this set appreciating to $175+shipping in the future or is 150 shipped the max. I found a couple more over the last few days and happily bought them. Ex Astris, Scientia.2 points

btw, thinking about it, the blonde said "I loved playing with lego". so with that said, is she not disproving her theory that lego was not made for girls?? it's a building brick. is she not making her and the female race sound stupid by saying she couldn't fully enjoy them because they weren't fun colors or have girly aspects? that's like saying a woman can't be an architect. that whole interview irritated me.1 point

based on current and past week of eBay pre-orders 50 is being generous. If u can get tax free and want Vip points and make about ten bucks that is realistic. Unless u have repeat buyers and connections outside the US like a few here have that u can ship a few to for a profit of 30-50 each.1 point

I'm a big fan of the show, and needed the Ezra set to complete the crew (since Sabine only comes in that set for now). I have a few Ghost/Phantom combos, but only had one Ezra Speeder Biker for my personal collection, until now. I won't open the one I've got sitting there - I'll add that to the Ghost/Phantom combos, and I'll have this used one for my personal collection. As for investment strategy - on this particular set, I'm looking to bundle Ghost/Phantom/Speeder Bike just to round out the crew. I think the series is a win, and I think the characters are fantastic. I don't do much SW Lego investing, but my gut says these sets will be a win. The Ghost itself is a great build, and coupled with the Phantom, is fantastic.1 point

Kris went to my old high school, My brother was an assistant head coach for Liberty High School and Ive watched him, Bryce Harper, and Joey Gallo since 2009 and his swing is like Bonds but from a right handers perspective. Very short and powerful. His approach is fantastic and he never lets a previous at bat get in his head. He has a great eye and doesnt get fooled by offspeed. He will probably hit .260 30 bombs and 100 RBI even if starting April 20th/Mayish with good OBP (.350ish and .850 OPS is my estimate) and maybe a few steals sprinkled in. Joey Gallo may be a bust. Hes like a left handed Javier Baez. for the record I'm terrible at fantasy baseball... I've won 2 leagues in 14 attempts so if you want me in I might be a doormat =p also I never quit no matter how bad I'm doing. I just hate that when people stop playing fantasy leagues. p.s. you guys probably know where I live now... haha.1 point

PS Falling water went from 99 available at Lego to "Sold Out" about a week ago. .........Kinda big news Fallingwater just yesterday went to secondary sellers only on Barnes&Noble .com THAT might be the big news. Amazon is now the only retailer to still have it at retail and they are limit 2. The hoard may now descend. Thank you.1 point

Buy a postal scale. Oh and some stick on shipping labels. Find a clearance set or two and go through the process. Buying is the fun part, post it, sell it, pack it, and ship it. Do that 10x then evaluate how much you like it. If so then proceed, if not you can jump out without having too much tied up. Please don't just buy a bunch of stuff thinking your going to make money. Hustling is what we do, and it's not easy. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Brickpicker mobile app1 point

I'm trying to clean up my 7 year old's Lego right now. When I QFLL'd Cloud Cuckooland last year, I sold off 2 sets of minifigs and kept all the bricks. So I'm in the process of building CCL three times, and then figuring out how to MOC them into one nice big set.1 point
