  1. 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.

  7. I have not picked up a lot in a long while as my kids are not as eager to sort and such.

  10. 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.

  12. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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 again

  20. 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 LEGO

  21. 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.

  24. 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.

  28. Cardswap is a good place to get gift cards. You pay the full price on the gift card but earn points that you can redeem for more gift cards. Some of the less popular gift cards have extra points.

  34. Word. Use clear packing tape over the label including the bar code. Thousands of shipments later no shipping problems even though they suggest you do not tape over the barcodes.

  35. five 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle sets for $415 total with postage. luckily, the buyer had then shipped w/o the lego boxes to fit into a smaller postage box.

  36. Yes, please. Buy them all. I wonder how much longer the Barnes and Noble BM stores will stock them? The few left by me are pretty beat up from the spider alarms. Even though many BPs purchased for less than $80 at BnN, retail is a good price for this set. I have quite a few I purchased at retail. It isn't the top 25 holdings on brickpicker and it is among the most famous residences in the world. Buy, buy, buy. (Full disclosure: I do have more money in this set than any other)

  38. 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.

  40. Just a general pro tip: If you get a question or comment from someone who is obviously unhinged, catastrophically stupid, or a troll, don't bother answering them at all. You might get a few hostile follow ups from them demanding you answer, but if you just pretend you're not getting their messages, they will eventually go find someone else to annoy. Whatever you do, don't engage them in any form of debate. It's like arguing with a drunk attention deficit disordered lawyer who is off his meds. Only less fun.
