Because of the countless people he has helped on BP (including myself) I thought it would be good to wish Ed a very happy Birthday. via BP app.

Sold/traded 20 Creative Towers to a local Bricklinker for a Haunted House, Asylum and $420. No shipping and no hassle. Plus I met a new friend. A great deal all around. #1000th

Yes thanks alot 66 years old today, I still am not ready to crack. about 4 more years of buying the big money sets and I think I will call it quits, it could take me many years to sell the stuff. Ed

It seemed pretty clear to me. But I'm not an idiot, so I guess that's why I don't get to go around suing everyone for stupid things.

few weeks old but since you asked :)

38 Joker Bumper Cars. Almost typed steamrollers by accident lol

Brickfan has some new info on the polybag. Bottom line: Lego might be mad at TRU for the way they handled the Bricktober promotion (selling the sets for $20 instead of doing the promotion as it was intended - free with purchase of a set amount). Lego seems to have pulled this polybag from TRU, and is giving it to Target. It has appeared in Target's inventory system with a DPCI attached to it: 204-00-0479 and a UPC as well: 673419233743. It's supposed to be showing up in March or April now. /edit: Lego might be mad (not made) at TRU...

Well pretty funny Jaylay posted 9493 right before what I am posting as I had those questions. I wondered how long the build was and size differential for the 2. I love the way 10240 looks completed but I just don't see the value for it hitting a high dollar amount after retirement. Took right around 4 hours. For a UCS set I just don't think that is challenging enough. Like I said in my Red 5 post the other day I built the Imperial Shuttle right before this so I might be a little skewed but another member said he built Slave 1 and then this and felt the same way as far as the challenge of the build. I still see it hitting $300-350 but after building it I don't see it being a $400+ set. I wouldn't shell out that amount of money for it. I had no problem putting out aftermarket money for the shuttle and it delivered. Now that 9493 is around $100 for about 1/3 the pieces I think the value is right for that set. This set is 3x the pieces and roughly 3x the price so I guess they are on par with the exception of the build time. Well here are the pics.

I sold all of my Destiny's Bounty recently for a little under what I believed was the market price. It is better to make little money than no money (I am looking at you Quinjets ).

It's like Sunday every day for you.......that sucks!

I'm with jaisonline on this one. I just can't get excited about this set. Maybe some interesting minifigs, but there'll always be more batmans, robins and jokers. A weird steamroller and a weird batwing... ok... maybe kind of fun to build and interesting for some... but is it prime "must have" collector material? I think not. Folks are saying they'll make a killing next Christmas, but are you sure that this is what every kid is going to want Xmas 2015? What about all the other new superhero sets... won't they want those? Some say it is a big winner 2-3 years down the road, but what makes you so sure? The Brickpicker price guide says these have been selling at a rate of 10 or 20 per month on ebay ... so that means what... 50 or 100 per month on Amazon? There are 1790 Target stores in the USA. If investors are buying, say, 9 Steamrollers at each one, then they will have stockpiled 16,110 of these by next week. They'd better start selling them soon, because they'll need to move about 380 per month for the next three and-a-half-years. I hope everyone gets the ROI they had hoped for. Maybe I'm nuts. Maybe this will be the best investment of 2015. But I'm just going to sit this one out. If nothing else, it feels nice not being part of the feeding frenzy (for once).

11 Unexpected Gathering 79003 @ $35 each I had been watching these religiously for the better part of 6 months, they finally got around to marking them down today.

If it's not it will be eventually.

20% off in Canada just makes me yawn. I miss Target, haha!

This baffles me. I would guess many of the reviews are from folks that haven't built or seen the set in person. DO may be my favorite modular, period. It has it all: story, detail, theme, variety. The exterior is easily the most varied of any modular, with the walkway, varying height sections, *printed* windows!, and fantastic sign. It's a bar! Add the rotating fan, pool table, complete barber shop with mirror, and the messy detectives office itself, and you have a 100% winner. It's not all about size. Besides, this fits in so well next to other modulars like PR and PS.

Most every review on S@H is underwhelming. Definitely not the site for quality reviews. My favorites are from the 12 year olds on sets that haven't even been released yet.

Target said "let it go" but apparently it didnt work When confronted about who sold the tumblers early they replied "I'm batman" which they did not appreciate

damn its like Lego is the brickfather and if you break the rules they shut you down!

Wrong thread, this is the what architecture set and crazy monuments do you want to be done in Lego thread ;)

I think the only thing it means is you are twisting the knife.

The Big Time Toilet paper club list???

I look forward to my $0.23 check.

Hooper from the Pistons had it right.

These kinds of lawsuits are only about one thing...attorney's fees.

Because it just had to be done....for Terry.

Precisely one of the reasons why I find Bruce Lowell's work fascinating. While the idea of the model can be considered commonplace, the detail behind it is anything but. Here's another of his that practically blends into the local flora. LEGO Hibiscus by bruceywan LEGO Hibiscus by bruceywan

Haha, yeah. Angkor Wat at Miniland, Legoland Malaysia

well, I gotta admit, I really had fun building 9493. Im not usually a builder but every build I do Im just fascinated at the engineering of these sets ... truly amazing work! 2 hours and 15 minutes for me on this build ... I want more!!!

Chik fila is on hxckid88s very very short list of approved fast food. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app

$29.48 or $24.98? I picked up mine for $24.98, as did a lot of others. I'm guessing your Target isn't offer the greatest of deals right now, if Benny's is only down to $89.

My pleasure and thanks for little xtra and coupon will use it for sure ;)

I sold a 10227 Bwing locally (I think that is the set number) and we were chatting about the red five. He waited too long to order and was waiting for his. He ordered over the phone and the Lego CS rep told him that he would for sure get it. Didn't have the heart to tell him not likely. That was two weeks ago... Oh well, if not he can have one of mine for $300. :D

Excellent. I like fantasy baseball almost as much as I like Lego.

Santas workshop is three to a case for sure.

i thought BTTP was the target not walmart .... B-A somehow you may have made the list. have you returned a lot of item?

5x Painting Easter Eggs $11 CAD each 6x Bad Cop Pursuit at $25 CAD each 2x Friends Sports car $13.50 CAD each

Now I wonder what The Big Lebowski would have been like with Nimoy considering how very "Dude" he was in that music video. Haha. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!I don't know but maybe if you stop yelling I can find out! :rofl:

There is nothing transaction wise that it helps. It gives you a defect, and creates an environment for hostile communication between the buyer and seller (as most buyers are not intending to open a case, didn't realize that they did, and the seller doesn't realize that the buyer did not intend to open a case - meanwhile, the damage has already been done).

3 Benny's Spaceship @ $49 each 2 Creator Family House @ $21 each

Has anyone noticed at the bottom of the description of most LEGO sets on Target.com - it says... NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED Hmmm...

So seeing I got to leave the warehouse early from our lovely snow situation in *** I decided to start this. After doing the Imperial Shuttle last week I have to say this is a breeze so I guess that's why the set gets a little less love than others. I still like it but I breezed through Bags 1-5 in under 2 hours. So for $200 I guess a 4 hour build might be a little less than desirable. I do like it though, mainly because I like X-wings in general but can see better why the set might not of been the best seller. The shuttle was much more complex price point wise. It is a 1000 pieces larger than Red 5 but had a lot more to it I guess. Think the sets with numbered bags are much easier as a whole than the older ones that required sorting and such. Gotta say I'm hooked on building these UCS sets lately. Never was a huge builder just mainly reseller and been enjoying them. Biggest decisions is what's next. I brought 4 things home (Helicarrier, Red 5, Town Hall that came in on Amazon load in bags lol, and a Tumbler). Chose Red 5 first mainly because I enjoyed the shuttle so much and was in the SW mood I guess.

Coins are a much more mature market than LEGO in every sense of the word.

Um... did I hear "move along"? *hint, hint*

Check out this one, I think this guy does some amazing modifications to existing modulars: Sjaak Lego 10246 XL Mod: Full collection of his photos HERE. Our family is working on the DO now, the detail is amazing. We primarily display our modulars but damn, building this thing is incredible. For us, the best part is the building and this is the most fun we have had building a modular yet. Every modular just gets more and more detailed and the building techniques keep getting better. Can't wait for 2016..
