Dear, TRU.com, Thank you for deterring potential theives from taking the beat up sets you shipped me. ?

Hi guys, to celebrate Rogue One hitting the screens in the UK I have gone back to my favourite style of building and created this Scarif micro landscape.

I have tried to force the perspective on this one so it looks as though they are flying high above the battlefield.

Just search for 'Scarif' on lego ideas. As always any feedback would be greatly appreciated too! I hope you all enjoy Rogue One and may the force be with you.

Made my first Lego sale today. Sold a winter holiday train set with power functions, local sale. $190

Buyer fatigue in full effect over here. Even at ~50% off I can't bring myself to store these for umpteen months waiting for them to retire.

Sorry... no pictures... my 3rd grade son did extremely well on some advanced placement tests at school... top of his class in math! So we had to reward him. Pulled out of storage my only copies of 79011 Dol Guldur Ambush and 79014 Dol Guldur Battle. He's been wanting these on-and-off for a long time (he didn't know I had them). I probably paid about $10 for the one, and $55 for the other, over two years ago. Probably can't make much profit on them anyway, but even if I could... the look on his face was worth so much more than money.

This has beene of the best two weeks ever. Every day there are boxes outside, I open them and forgot that I had even ordered the items inside. Day after day. Multiples after multiples. Too old to remember what I did. Getting old is kind of fun. I blame the spending on forgetting what I already did.

Every set mentioned in this thread?

Went to Target and got two Spiderman bridges. Price matched to Amazon, used the $25 off $100 coupon and used the Red Card. Total for two before tax came to $88.33.

Livi's Pop Star House is back in stock on Amazon for $39. Limit 2. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017B1ALQI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Found a lonely 21306 Ideas Beatles Sub at my local target doing some last minute Xmas shopping. This set has never been stocked here and was also red tagged to $41.99. Figured hmm most likely a return but all seals were in tact and box was minty fresh. No shelf tags or space or end displays anywhere for this set. The toy section and particular the lego aisles were a mess. I was hoping to find some batman movie mini figs. No luck, still S16 & KyloshuttlePoly. The entire batman movie end display was being blocked by a dolly full of random boxes filled with electronics and movies. Managed to unearth a few series 5 mixels @3.99 ea that showed up from the bermuda triangle to put me over the $10 off 50, sweaten the deal even more than the $41.99 be a hold or for personal collection/build. The cashier doesn't see the red tag because the check out scene was a mad house. I don't notice until I get out in the car so I head back in to customer service. The same guy who said good night helped me out, felt bad as I explained the cashier had missed the red tag price. He immediately backed out the $59.99 on my $57.97(67.97 before the $10iff) crediting me with $2.02. He then rang up the red tag price of 41.96 and said felt bad about the whole ordeal and my time so gave me the $10off'50' again and over rode 2x$5 store coupons on this transaction to make it $31.96. So all in all to make a short story kinda long that really only took place in a very small amount of time. If I'm not mistaken, I paid $32 for a 21306 and target paid me $2.02 to take a few mixels off their hands phew

In last 20 hours I sold 9 full sets of batman cmf minifigs and probably 20 single ones

The delay is not from us, it is from your email provider. AOL, Hotmail, MSN, a few others are very famous for holding emails when they see a lot of email coming from a particular place. Not sure if you have any options to whitelist [email protected], that may help. I use a third party SMTP server to help with delivery. We have sent 2.7m emails since Nov 25 which is when much of all this deal craziness started. There is a good chance they are the ones putting it on hold. The forum queues them up and just spits it out, this service just shoots it out from there. As I said, I would look to see if there is a way to whitelist the email, that may help them find their way to your inbox quicker. Gmail seems to get them just fine.

Smart kids know the difference between clone crap and legit LEGO. Sure, some parents/grandparents don't care and will try to pawn off the trash, but when the kids see the fake box, parts and instructions, the parents will be sorry they made that choice. Most kids who play with LEGO on a consistent basis are hard to fool and are above average in intelligence. They want the real deal...

So heres my collection so far. May take a few posts due to image size.

One of my local Target's is showing over 2000 minifigs in stock.

Certainly not for his stash of Doctor Who!

I guess Tesco had a big growth of site visitors this year.

Plenty of discussion of this on the bubble thread. I am of the opinion that there are plenty of people like you, who have no effect on the price. You wouldn't buy one at $300, so your purchase of an ILLEGAL copy is irrelevant to the market for sealed 75054s. (IMO) Mostly collectors buy NIB sets at 2.5x RRP, and they don't want potentially toxic plastic junk, so they will still pay the premium.

How?

I think they actually base it on sales data because I just got reimbursed ~ $120 for a 10697 that was damaged even though the set is currently selling somewhere around $70.

can I like and not like your post at the same time?

And that's how I got my MegaBloks TMNT collections started

Here's 4 of the many ... Rancor Pit x3 $100 ea Ghost Train $110

Sorry to hear that. My 4 arrived today. Sound packaging, minty fresh.

...and you make me wish I had 3 hands.

U need to be culled . Def price will soar over the weekend* * TP and Blue Proton are to disregard this statement ... nothing to see here. Loser set . High storage fees .... I have kids to feed .

Too much of this two years ago.

All look the same to me.

Find an employee that stocks the toy section and ask them politely to look for them in the back with the DPCI number. Let them know that they will have to open the outer box and check the Batman Movie packaging since it's a shared DPCI code.

countdown to my showing is less than 2 hrs. now gotta find my 1977 kenner lightsabler to inflate, fight my son and scream "you passed the test" 30 mins into the film. note: In 1978, Kenner execs knew Padawans would go ga-ga over a toy version of the Star Wars lightsaber. As one of the first Star Wars toys on the market, it lit up toy aisles, literally. Designers basically took a flashlight and connected it to an inflatable yellow vinyl blade. Although no yellow lightsaber can be found in A New Hope, the color stayed in step with the one brandished by the Luke action figure. The toy lightsaber commercial featured kids slinging their blades and swatting at silver balloons, the latter a stand-in for Jedi training remotes. Sounds like playtime bliss, right? Well, overly excited wannabe Skywalkers often dueled so hard their blades would spring a leak, deflating the fun. Thanks to forward-thinking toy honchos, all wasn’t lost. Each lightsaber came with a patch kit for repairs.

Watched the film today, its great, far better than The Force Awakens.

Dimensions Starter Pack $39.99 at Meijer this week, plus 20% Mperks general merchandise coupon, plus free Fun Pack with purchase of Starter Pack. Probably walked into a Gamestop to get the free Green Arrow polybags.

I know this was mentioned from Target above, but these are now less than $24 each when buying 2 from Amazon. LEGO City Airport 60102 Airport VIP Service Building Kit (364 Pi... $29.99 [40% off] Dropped 25% on Dec 15 3:30 AM

Rather them stay that way and just mark everything 50-75% early next year. Less chaos. I don't like the way they marked a lot of stuff 20-30% for over a month. I like the weekly mark downs lol...

walmart is so quiet.....

Look for the ones that can't be shipped to home anymore.

I'm just anxious to hang out with @Alpinemaps. Sh!t! did I just say that out loud?

Either these are the salad days, or the new normal. Either way this has been a banner month for 50% off lego buys. Thx again for all the help.

It's been posted a few times before, but better to overpost than under. It is a good deal for play, pieces, or army building. I just don't like it as an investment. I wish the Ep. VII sets weren't so damn ugly. Only Kylo Ren's shuttle remotely tempts me, but presumably it isn't retiring. The prequel trilogy at least gave us Gunships, AT-TE's, Naboo Starfighters, and Jedi Interceptors. Ep. VII gives us a TIE Fighter remake, inferior X-wings, and a bunch of blocky dropships. Awesome.

Yes.

Looks like someone's had a little to much to drink on 1st Street Great work!
