Sounds like a serious case of "I thought I was going to get rich from selling LEGO but it's too much of a hassle".

The tone of the ad and the free weights in the picture lead me to believe it's hcxkid; however, there aren't enough grammatical errors for it to be his.

When I called he asked if I was a CEO.

"every damn set over the last 2 years" - Somebody sounds pissed. It's got to be someone we know.

UCS Sandcrawler for $260

Pretty easy sequence to predict here people. Both for Cindy and Death Star. 1. Image leaks. 2. "Meh, not impressed, where has Lego's creativity gone?" 3. "Guaranteed investment winner" - Ed Mack 4. "Well, the previous version [is/isn't] selling well in [Europe/US], so don't think your market can predict the [US/Europe] market on this set!" 5. OrcKing posts high-res official thread pics minutes after they are available. 6. "You know, looking at this again, I like those two greebles, and look, two new unique parts in [seafoam blue/dark-light-gray-bley]" 7. Goes on sale on Lego.com with a Nexo Knights promo cycle or chopper. 8. "In for 3" - Exciter. 9. "This is my first Lego investment, was it good that I bought 20 of these already??" - user with reg date of x-1 week from posting date. ... .. ... 10. Profit! :-)

Latest Star Wars UCS set. Classic Ship.

UPS stinks for their signature service since they keep trying to deliver (and usually at the same time because they were successful the day before)... But you can register at their website and get them to reroute to a particular time of the day (not sure about address). You should just do the research for her and send her a link and instructions. That way at least you have done your best to please her whiny ass.

Meditation. Zone theory. In order to know what Lil' Timmy will want come christmas 2018 one must become lil' Timmy. And lil' Timmy's gramama. And what @dcdfansaid.

My first garage sale find. 23 minifigures and one motorcycle. $0.25 each, $6 total. I left all the loose LEGO. Who is the dude on the lower right?

I think this set is really bad and worthless. I bought three of them a while back just to burn them in some kind of ritual.

Pure Gold right there. Had to laugh really hard. My girlfriend told me: "You don't have to become Lil timmy. You are Lil timmy." I think thats the secret of all the pros on here. They got 8 yo. After that they only grew taller (Though I'm far from being a pro - just hoping that's the secret - being the Lil timmy myself )

I don't think being unhappy about a signature required "ambush" is whiny... unless you are referring to the tone of the reply - which is certainly subject to opinion. I've been on both sides of the issue. It is extremely inconvenient when I am working a long stretch of 12-hour days with no one to receive a package for me, to have it show up "signature required" and then have to chase it down a week or two later. And the first "expensive" sale I made on eBay, I decided to add the signature option at the last minute without thinking it through, and had the package return roughly a week after the buyer kept telling me it had not arrived when it should have (with poor tracking updates, I might add) - undeliverable due to the signature requirement. Was that in any way the buyer's fault? Nope. I learned from my mistake, ate the double shipping charge, and confirmed whether they'd be able to sign for it before sending it out again. Same thing here. Perhaps you did nothing wrong, but the buyer did LESS wrong. Communication is the key to all things successful in business!

Well...it's no Magnetomobile (with apologies to TOK)

I use a fortune teller...

My non-LEGO business has donated items to a raffle this year, and my accountant told me it was just an expense on my budget - no special "donation" tax free status or anything. Now, this is for a sole proprietor LLC - I'm not sure if this holds for an individual as well. I do my LLC taxes as part of my "normal" taxes (i.e. my LLC is a disregarded entity) so it's likely to hold for an individual too. To make it a donation it would need to be given to an entity with a non-profit status. Best way is to check with a professional though - IANAL.

New Shop Your Way VIP Choice Benefits have been loaded to their website and can be used at Kmart.com or Sears.com. I selected the 100% back in points on a single item purchase up to $50. You may have to be a silver level VIP to access this benefit, but I'm not sure. The points should show up in your cart when you're checking out, but it doesn't seem to work on certain sets (I tried T-Rex Tracker and the X-Wing unsuccessfully). This offer may not work in conjunction with any other coupons or points redemption. http://www.shopyourway.com/tag/shop-your-way-rewards-vip/1461510

This one should start showing up at TRU towards the middle of July. Hopefully some new 20% coupons are introduced by then.

75059 is among Lego's most satisfying complex builds out there. Then throw in 1) the Sandcrawler is sorta iconic and 2) Jawas have a cult following. 10144 also performed like a champ until 75059 pics leaked.

Yes. I purchased it last week after a cup it of morning JAWA (what I call java) and it arrived yesterday.

looks like marker to me. considering the paint chips, I'd think it had been rubbed against something that bled. The purple is not the same color from one side to the other.

Finally found an Ironman v Ultron for $3.50 at WM. I've seen it in the app about a dozen times, but this is the first time I've found one.

The day of reckoning will come soon enough. Will the new Death Star kill the old one? It could be the best of times and the worst of times...all in the same couple of minutes when that first image is released.

If you don't have any I would suggest getting at least a few, as You will never see a large $300 Sandcrawler again, so if you have the money get them, I have plenty of them, got them all at the Lego stores and all beautiful Boxes. Ed

As someone that has built, or been a part of building just about every worthwhile star wars set from the last 5 years, this one ranks first in my book as one of the most satisfying builds. I know i'm not the only one that shares that opinion. Is it as sexy as the Slave 1? No. Is it a cooler build with a lot more interesting features.. Heck yes. To me, this is everything a large scale UCS set should strive to be. On the same token, i'm not going crazy on these as an investment and will just add a couple to my stock, but I expect it should do very well if you hold it past 2 years.

You missed 3B: thisset will do justfine I will start buying2 per month soon and work up to 500units you cant lose with large exclusives - Emazers

At $400, I'm expecting the castle to be epic. Crossing my fingers as both my daughter AND my wife are going to want it.

Isn't it delightful?

I'm sure there's a Marvin episode with a big U-shaped magnet too.

Check the Number of Sealed Bags thread. Myself and at least one other person posted the contents. Actually, just found the photos. You should have 5 blue plates. But 28 bags are correct:

So far I love it! They made some great improvements and it looks great on my ps4.

Wondering if Amazon will acknowledge the bad reception last year and up their game this year. I'll be on the lookout for deals.

It sure is. I can really imagine many (new) investors jumping ship when it becomes the worst of times. As at the end when the "retiring soon" tag appeared many jumped in and bought more than one. $400 each is no peanuts.

just like the last one, this does work on egift cards for TRU, sears, staples, lowes, etc...

Spielemax.de is having a sale. They do not have much choice. But it might be worth looking.

STAR WARS sets are far less risky than any Super Hero set, this side of The Tumbler. For the most part, the most valuable STAR WARS sets are based on vehicles, while successful Super Hero sets (with exception of Tumbler) are valuable because of their figures. Maybe you should build a few and you will see the difference. As for my completely incorrect logic...You think you have this all figured out, but you really have no clue. You think you are Spock, only dealing with logic and numbers. LEGO is more than logic. It is a passion and creative force unlike any Amiibo, baseball card or Beanie Baby. It's sad that I cannot teach you these things. You either get it or you don't. You can make money off of logic, but when push comes to shove, the person who "gets it" will have a distinct advantage over those who don't. This applies to any collectible or item that is resold. I have seen people like you on this forum before and you treat it as a commodity, with really no respect for the product itself. Next year, you will be on the next forum, discussing the next hot trends in collectibles, but never really appreciating the collectible being discussed. Until you accept the fact that emotion plays a huge part in the LEGO world, you will never truly understand the opinions of many on this site.

These may be out already at your local Lego store but 7/1/16 refresh has SAND GREEN 1x2 plates and 1x1 bricks. These will make a great buy in order to get the two in store promos.

Good advice from back in the day!

This will be an awesome set, if done right. We've had annual passes to Disneyland off and on for the last 20+ years. Disney fans are insane, and they will love this.

No time like the present . Decent price
