I'm wishing for something like this.

2 X Birds 21301 at K-Mart for $80 ($69.75 out of pocket) with $11 in points back This might be a good one if anyone plays the Shop Your Way game and has points. These are on the web for $44.99 (I hadn't noticed these at K-Mart before). If you look for SYW coupons, there is a $10 back in points on a $50 purchase. Also, I went to the direct mobile coupon generator here http://shc.cpn2c.co/RecomService/web/bE3R. There was a $10 off $75 toys. I was able to apply both coupons to this order (you can't always do this). I paid the balance with a 7% off raise GC. I paid with some points to get my out of pocket further, but I had to pay $75 out of pocket (via GC) to get the discounts and points back. After some points I had, it was $69.75 (7% raise card) for 2 sets out of pocket. $10 back in points, gets these sets pretty darn cheap. Once these ship, you have points to do this over and over once you generate some fresh coupon codes. About $30/set if you count the points back like cash. It's some work, but I was kinda stoked to see this set at K-Mart online.

So, when you purchase tickets on a boat that leaves at 330 with 20 other groups on it and you show up at 345 and the boat is gone, how exactly is that my problem? It's called punctuality, look it up.

me too

Our kids really like the Mixer set for exactly that reason... being portable they constantly load and unload the trucks. Frankly, for them it's more fun than pretending to hit the strong man bell attraction. They do like the dunk tank though. I just hope we don't get something like this...

I just went to pick up my son returning from his Easter camp with the boy scouts. Started talking to another dad about Lego while waiting for our kids. His son was going to buy the High-speed train and he asked if I knew where he could get it the cheapest. So I sold him one of mine for

First, let me start by saying that I must give credit where credit is due and I mostly copied this build as best I could from the pictures at this link https://www.flickr.c...N06/6937426891/ Second, I hope this is ok. I've always wanted to attempt this but I'm not very creative. I also wanted to make this my own by altering some things and not trying to make an exact copy. Level 4 (top): reserved for the 75034 Death Star Troopers set with large cannon. Level 3: Emperor's chair with window (will be accompanied by Royal Guards from 75034) Level 2: Stormtrooper's area? I'll place some Stormtroopers from set 75078 on this level. Level 1 (bottom): instead of the trash compactor, I opted to go with a docking bay that will either have the Falcon 75030 or the Tie Interceptor 75031 microfighter. Side view Side view with bay door open Back view Top view I'd like some suggestions and feedback. Especially on the top. I've had a rough time lining things up in LDD. Thanks.

Correction: VIP purchase of 10247 doesn't begin until May 13. Still more than a month out. Can't wait for pictures of this set, I do love the whole portable carnival theme...

I went back and smooshed two divers from the same box. I chatted it up with her and she mentioned that she had a couple of sealed series 8 boxes in the back. Needless to say, I bought them both. Paid $524 after tax. Feeling good!

I am eagerly awaiting to see even a hint at what this set could be followed by how well it goes beside the already released Fairground Mixer and on that note, I have some ideas for what this may potentially be. If the suggested retail of rumor becomes true then $200 gives a lot of possibility in terms of the height, number of gondolas, and what side attractions we might see. Traditionally a Ferris wheel is a 'couples ride' in each car seating two persons but anyone knows the extra space required in placing two minifigures together therefore the design might be a single-seater. However such a high price point could lend towards a decently wide design which really shouldn't require a whole lot more pieces to achieve this as they would go into each pod than the actual wheel. If it turns out to have single-seaters then we are looking at a six wide (from the front) ride holding ten cars. If it is a double-seater then an eight wide (again from the front) design with eight to ten cars. (This all assumes there won't be any inside gondolas that some of the large ones have in certain parks.) I can imagine some fancy decor across the sides with plenty of those glow-in-the-dark studs to make it shine during the night just like the Fairground Mixer and it will be made Power Functions ready. As The Men's Warehouse guy would say, "I guarantee it". I suppose there will also be some sort of fencing and a few steps to a platform for the people to get on the ride. Since there already was a ticket kiosk in the Fairground Mixer I question seeing another one included here although it is a constant necessity with theme parks. I guess the only thing left to speculate is what color shall it be and what the two added side venues will be?

If you don't want U2 how about.... Dum dum dum, another one bites the dust. Dum dum dum, another one bites the dust..... And so on. :)

Your welcome on the U2, hope you're feeling better soon and make those Bricklink sellers ship the parts on their dime. They shouldn't have left them out in the first place.

I booked each and every ticket, all were told to be there at least 15 minutes prior to departure (330) and the boat leaves with or without you.

I purchased instructions to a MOC 3-4 years ago for a Kenner Micro version. We never purchased all the pieces but it's so cool. http://www.baronsat.net/baronshop/bshop_instructions.htm

My advice about this signed box is... Do not sell it. Sell it only if one day you are in trouble and really need some money.

I'm guessing this fits into the theme of this thread. And I can't let TOK have all the fun. The Brickfan posted this one tonight: LEGO Speed Champions...ready to form Voltron!

Finished the Tumbler (another multi-day build). Build was just OK for me, I much prefer the minifig scale builds. But the display value is omggggg. And I did like how they broke the build up into smaller parts (like sandcrawler) so you built a piece then connected it to the main model. Definitely made it more exciting that way.

10240 vs 9493..

Still want city theme Zoo sets. Like they did farm stuff a few years ago. Could have anything from $150 big zoo, $50 enclosures to a merry go round or train. How about animals polybags too Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

I understand the nostalgia behind Grand Carousel with its classically artistic vintage appearance but it isn't something you would find in a modern real life amusement park or at least not one that travels. The Fairground Mixer on the other hand is rather spot on in its realism with the main attraction capturing the look and mechanics of a basic twist/scrambler ride. Like it or not, that is how it should be and I would imagine the Ferris Wheel shall be the same. Besides it is a Ferris Wheel, the most basic amusement known to man. Shoot, an enterprise would be more fun and interesting. Course I guess you don't have a Ferris Wheel for fun, you have it for looks and people with queasy stomachs. Haha.

So sick of these eBay sellers selling Lego knockoffs under category Lego. I've spent several hours every week for the last couple of weeks reporting these losers.

well i got the half of it guys, there we "no photo" signs posted behind her. I respected those orders and did not take a photo. but here it is! this was fantastic and everyone loved the set when i pulled it outta the box waiting in line. I will keep the fan expo itinerary and my exhibitor pass with this set, at least it something to authenticate it.

Having U2 or Queen stuck in my head really isn't a complaint. :)

The link I stated seems to 404 all of the sudden (this is pretty common with sears/kmart/shop your way). Here is an alternate link to the coupons that you can use to get the $10 off $75: http://m.kmart.com/promos/ecoupons

4x Fairground Mixer for $509.30 all-in. $127.32/ea shipped/taxed. I think this set will be helped by the upcoming Ferris Wheel, this is my first inventory acquisition of the mixer, and I had a discount coupon to use to acquire it.

I can confirm that your points can be earned in either the US or Canada and used in either US or Canada. One point is one point. Earn them in Canada and spend them in the US to maximize your benefit. Ex astris, scientia.

Well, the 4957 was a 1063 piece set. Double that piece count and you might have a real nice model.

75 actually.

Well...I have already notified wifey that her computer desk has to be cleaned out soon to make room for Springfield construction...She was not amused but that is the only spot available at the moment. The Shield Hellicarrier is already on the dining table...

I'm surprised they only got about $10k worth of stuff. Even a minute in the video game section back then could easily be several thousand alone.

I remember wanting to win so badly as a kid in the early 80's. SW action figures and slot cars sets were my big wants then.

1/3rd through reading it. awesome so far. great share. i do remember these TRU / Nick contests. sadly, i never won. i would have prob blew it anyway deciding between 2 toys

I'm hoping there will be less side attractions and the focus will be on the wheel.

At the rate we're going, I think more Galidor than Chima.

Just sold a Mixels Series 2 41512 Chomly for $11.50 shipped

It will never happen.. but the Road Warrior and Mad Max would be "that" series, i'd spend a lot of money on getting every set and making sure my closet was stuffed full with interceptors for investment. Could just imagine the possibilities. The Pig Stye with Master and Max "Who runs barter town". UCS version of Thunderdome with a Tina Turner and Blaster Lord Humongous with his Dune Buggy and captives tied to the front (technic set overload) Of course, the Interceptor. The oil rig That would be a start.

9515 Malevolence - I was foolish as it was 40% off but, a hideous model from the rubbish prequels. Nearly 2 years on, I still can't recover the

It is if you live in Alaska. :P

I was shocked to win this 10240 - UCS X-Wing auction tonight. I had some EBay Bucks to burn, so it was good timing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/191551821198?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I also picked up these at KMart this morning. 4 x City Cargo Truck 4 x Friends: Olivia's Newborn Foal 1 x Chima: Eglor's Twin Bike 4 x Series 13 (3 Hot Dog Guys) 1 x Dunkin Donuts 12 oz Ground Coffee All for $92.95 plus 2 x Gas Coupons ($9) and $12 back in points. I used some points to get the prices down.

Just finished the UCS 10240 x-wing, great build but a bit boring during the wings and jets assembly.. and its big, bigger than I expected..

I just constructed the last of Mixels Series 1 with the Electroids. Other than a pattern for some of the little hinged arms, I can also see a repeating cycle of character design as in there being a short Mixel, a tall one, and then an 'inbetweener' (middle height). Not a complaint; only an observation. Anywho, I'm not sure who to pick as my favorite this time around. I like Teslo already for namesake being named after a certain inventor just altered slightly, I have not seen that hose part in a long while which was great and having it 'hang' behind him as a tail makes him like some robotic version of Pikachu, and his overall form is nice. Now Zaptor is interesting but may appear a little too much on the 'mentally challenged' side. Ha. Finally Volectro is awesome and better in person honestly. That exclusive yellow bush is both cool and funny, his arms and fingers are very poseable, and the build was a fun one altogether really. It feels like a tie between Volectro and Teslo leaning a tad towards Volectro ....maybe. I don't know. Both were neato in my opinion. On a side note about the three tiny Nixels, those are not bad at all especially with everyone together. Only disadvantage is the ratio with three Nixels and nine Mixels. ....What could the Mixels ever have to fear from these little gremlins? I mean any one Mixel is larger than any Nixel. I guess in greater numbers like piranha they could be fierce. Well anyway, the whole gang of Series 1 looks great and now onwards to Series 2!

I like the initial list and agree with all but the last one. I would 7750 Steam Engine to the list instead

To avoid rustling anyone

I love this model. So much better than the 42000. Next is the 8674 and then the 8458....

If I understood Jeff correctly, it was not just taken by brickpicker members but also by people visiting brickset, brickfan etc. As far as Biniou's comment is concerned: I don't think the survey really pretends to indicate how many AFOL's exist per country. It tells where the participants of the survey come from. No more, no less.

How about, ignore for a couple years.
