Where have you been hiding little guy?

Latest Star Wars UCS set. Classic Ship.

$40. I missed the boat originally so it's nice to get my hands on one...

I simply could not wait to share. Marvin the Martian and Duck Dodgers by Tyler

Shhhh. The first rule of the Temple of Airjitsu thread is that we don't talk about ToA investment.

atat $230 FBM

5 sold. You really think someone sits on 6+ of these and doesn't know their value?

Pretty good price for technic fire plane @amazon for $34.98 limit 2 Brickolodon wants you to see this item at Amazon.com LEGO Technic 42040 Fire Plane Building Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WHXP7LK/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_8AcExb6M92W3V

Definitely my favorite build so far in 2016. My 7 year old son and I built a couple bags a day for about a week. Looks fantastic in the display cabinet + a lot of quality time with my little guy which is priceless. I don't have any for investment purposes, but the current promo(s) tempt me to grab one for a rainy day. Doesn't appear overly hoarded + it's super unique.

Lego store $50 plus 10% IL tax. NEXO sold for $15 and shipping, castle knight sold for $20, also got 5% VIP back. with castle promo and my NEXO coupons I'll be buying plenty of $50 sets in next couple days... Plus Ferris wheel few days ago, I really like this set and personally think it will be an investing winner...

Just for the record: your return period has expired

By that time, there will be another 8 versions of the Tumbler or Bat Mobile. This particular one is safe in my opinion.

Just like to clarify for those that have ever wondered, Crustybeaver is geezer and not girl.

You can interpret that as either they are producing less SOH and running down stock or the horde have made up their minds that SOH is retiring next and buying the set hand over fist, hence its OOS status. There was a time where one of the sets would have just sold out. These days however I think Lego milk the late surge of interest in sets, Pet Shop, EWOK Village. I'm sure SOH or Tower Bridge will be no different, kicking around for longer than expected. Even retailers are taking advantage, Smyths clearly saw an opportunity in the Tumblers retirement, buying up huge amounts of stock so they could push them all out long after everyone else had sold theirs. I expect this is behaviour we may end up seeing a lot more of now as retailers adapt buying and selling techniques to take advantage of the late surge of money for retiring sets.

was in my local walmart, and noticed all the force awakens sets were reduced at least by 30%. 119 MF's, 64.00 Poe's X-wings, 55.00 Resistance Transporter, Mazy's Castle was 47, 15.00 Rey Speeders, 55.00 FO Ties, and after I cleared out the FO Transporter at 40 something a few months back, they had a new case sitting there at 71. Signs on the wall. These are all gone by christmas, IMO.

You need to refer to the sales and use tax laws of the state in which you reside. The fact that you haven't set up a formal legal entity through which to make your sales doesn't matter at all. Up until this year, I have done all of my sales as a sole proprietor and have been collecting sales tax for several years.

Oh man, and I thought I was good with the obscure references. Haha.

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.

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.

Investing in LEGO sets is the best idea around. Either the sets increase by huge multiples in 6 months after retirement, or you just unload the whole lot to a BPer for what you paid. You can't lose.

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".

Big Ben in its new home. Very tedious build which is worth it at the end.

Finally gave my 6 year old the last of the figures he needed to complete his set...then built the stand out of a few random pcs from a recent bulk purchase. Also built changing seasons which I will photograph and share at some point soon.

Speaking of slow selling, you have to wonder why The Tumbler lasted only two years when other major exclusives last longer than that. Slow seller? Too costly? With the current market conditions, The Tumbler will be the IT set that everyone wish they had more of.

@alpinemaps thanks for the pics, these are really helpful. It turned out that the 5th plate was stuck to one of the others. I decided to go for it, but the odd thing I noticed was that the two blue 2x4 smooth tiles were attached to one of the blue plates. I checked the bags but they all looked sealed? I'll have to inspect the bags a little closer to see if they were re-sealed...

Bart Smit has a weekend promo of up to 20% off all toys from July 1 to July 3:http://www.bartsmit.com/nl/bsnl/content/kortingsweekendvoorwaarden I just bought the moss eisly cantina for only 75 euro and the trains multipack for 160!

I'm pretty sure none of those replies are actual replies from the guy ... this forum is full of part-time comedians (moi included).

Hi guys I would like to announce - for those who do render their LDD virtual models and may already know my work - that there is finally official page of my SunFlow MOD for BlueRender. So, make the story short: anyone who cares can grab it for free at http://lego.queryen.com/php/_sfmod.php?j=en (there are separate WIN and MAC versions and lot more!), regards bublible

Ha ha ha, are you saying you're receiving private messages from guys thinking you're a girl and trying to hit on you? Here, on this forum? ROFL If so, that would be utterly pathetic! <edit> Ah, now I notice the "his/her" remark by Furious_george. Silly me...

Oh noes, it become a meme. WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

In for 3.

I am getting 699 pts when adding Temple to cart at Lego Shop. Isn't that Triple VIP Nevermind I get it. 500 bonus plus purchase. Duh

Isn't it delightful?

Serious opinions only!

Exactly. And only in the remote mountains of Japan. So shipping will be a pain.

Added the Black Pearl to the fleet today

Daughter built the grand hotel from the what did you buy thread earlier. No QFLL'ing that one (unfortunately). Took her about 4 hours

Finished building my $16 Town Hall from last year. Was an Amazon return and had been built before. Took a some time building but came out good. The top right is missing a piece as I just dropped it. Fell on a shelf and couldn't find it. Deal with it later.

Finally got around to using some of my bricklinked dark grey slopes. Built a new modification for my 9474 MOC today, bridging the tower and keep modules together. Next up, the right side mountains....

Jumping on the 75094 bandwagon I finished mine today. Sorry for the cheapo stand but I will make something out of either clear or blue, to mach the engines, translucents. I agree with PP a lot of technic that IMO does not make this a $100 set. The cockpit was a nice build and as stated so is the top fin. The wings seem like an after thought then the ones on the $60 75051 Jedi Scout are far superior. If this is a play set I could not see spending that much perhaps if you can pick it up at TRUT in the low 60s. Guess I am still going to have to pop the seals on my 10212 Tha

31039 Creator Blue Power Jet. This was a brilliant building experience. The little details, like using the 1x1 slopes to make the seats are clever. But the wings are ingenious. A hinge is used to connect the two main pieces together which are then filled in with angled plates. Love it, highly recommended. I think this set will be a winner.

So, built this one last night. Box was in good condition considering the age, if a bit musty. Instructions were also in good. In the box also had two Expert Builder (Technic) posters/catalogues (in perfect shape), missing piece/feedback card and a 1982 (I think) Lego catalogue, also in great shape. The model itself? The pieces look almost new. The minifigs are immaculate- no "Bennied" broken helmet straps, no faded Classic Space logos. Baseplate is also immaculate. However, missing one white minifig and 4-5 other pieces, even though it was advertised as complete. But, it is a beauty. I'll have to take a comparison photo with Benny's Spaceship Spaceship SPACESHIP to show both the scale and just how bloody good an hommage the latter set is to these lovely old sets.

Yesterday I built the 21004 Solomon Guggenheim Museum that I picked up for $25us. It's a very pretty build but it suffers the same fate as sets like Rockefeller Center, Sydney Opera House, and Brandenburg Gate and that is that the smaller horizontal builds LOOK small. Sungnyemun only suffers from this a little but Sydney Opera House is just ugly to look at. I really liked the method to "weight" the large radar dishes. Today, I built the 21020 Trevi Fountain. What I said above for horizontal builds doesn't apply to larger ones as 'Trevi' is beautiful! It reminded me of when I visited Rome and it was a LOT of fun to build, even the usually tedious parts, and you see it nicely build itself up starting with the fountain. The techniques used for the columns and facade are pretty clever and look brilliant. My only quibble is that I don't really like the rocks as they look clumsy and the sculptures are too large but it is my personal favourite of the architecture line to date. It just looks sharp.

So I had a great weekend building all these pirate ships: Black Pearl, Sea Cow, Queen Anne, Imperial Flagship and Brickbeard's Bounty. I tremendously enjoyde building both POTC vessels, great builds!!
