So we are allowed to offer trades now?  Seeing a lot of these trade offers lately.  Am I missing a change in the rules?

Ed, didn't mean to be unclear, I'll trade a 41999 for either a sandcrawler or two fire brigades

Sorry...I have a four year old pounding on my head. It's snowing in NJ and I have a day off from work.

 

Thats some excellent photoshoping done there. Definitely quit your day job

If there is something of interest from reputable members, we are pretty lenient with posts.. I just don't want to hear complaints from members about bad deals or bad trades. I'll talk to Jeff about starting a thread about trades until the Classifieds are done.

My paintshopping skills are tremendous as well. Lol.

 

My favorite is when I can't find a stock photo of a set without minifigures. I pull the one from Shop at home, blow it up, remove the figures using the eraser, run a pixel cleaner-uper to make it not blury and bam! picture for my listing.

You asked before this was in place and you also asked people to lie on custom forms if I recall correctly.

Well, Ed was referring to trades not sales. There's a difference. Plus, he also mentions "reputable members", while at the moment you had just joined the forum.

Stephen has a bee up in his bonnet hasn't he, Every post i make his on the case lol Cheer up steph is Xmas   

a "bee up his bonnet"  hilarious

Not at all.....I was just giving you an honest answer to why you were temporarily banned. Merry Christmas to you as well buddy. I am more of a new years type of guy though ;)

You asked the wrong person. Now if you threw Jeff and me a Crawler each, we'd post your request on the homepage. Wink. Wink.

Hasn't he got enough to make a 1:1 scale model?  He may as well as they're not worth a lot right now. ;-)

The customs officals actually did call me about one of the packages I sent him claiming gift for a crawler.  They were confused, but I told them to check this thread---at only $450, it WAS a gift!  I hope they get up to a grand in a couple years, and he cleans house.  I like to see people win!

I'm keeping my last 7 for the long haul as these can only skyrocket, especially as being the coolest and rarest Technic set ever IMHO. I'm also buying more when the nervous start selling close to RRP to bail out.

The crawler only accounts for 10% of the collection been collecting for many many years, And have the room to store unlike many people on here having to rent storage units, Doesn't that scare you not having them at arms reach ? plus whats the cost of a unit over 1 year ? aprox.

 

And can anyone explain why the Star Wars AT-AT Walker 8129 says limited edition on the box ? limited to what? 

Mark,

 

I think we need a pic!  I would love to see what you have been collecting there across the pond!

There is no way this set will sell for near RRP. They are still making

Got 2 more today!
