This works for me,

Interesting note on the Ecto listing in my Target registry...

 

Target is being a LEGO employee. If you get what I mean..

Can you please explain why PS is STILL around and I lost out on TH last October? Why does TLG continue to crank out PS when TH was so much more interesting? Thought I was ok to hold off on TH because PS was released first. Has anyone cracked the Lego supply algorithm?

ISD now call to check and PS down to limit 2 on backorder, both at EU shop. Hopefully signs that these 2 are done.

Wow, that was quick! I checked and it was "call to check" ... Then I did a refresh, and it was GONE!

ISD is RETIRED in Europe!

Very nice.

And just like that in a matter of an hour the entire UK is stripped of stock, even Hamleys! Glad I've got 5 of these, should see a decent rise over the coming months

UN building and Villa Savoye are retired in EU.  3 sets (berlin, NY, and Venice) are on the way, and so I think one more is on it's way out very soon.  The Leaning Tower of Pisa did go to Sold Out in the US a month ago, but then reappeared about two weeks later.  I think that could be the next one.  The Space Needle is another..but it seems to have so much stock, it may take another year.

Got UN 25% off and plenty of ISd´s at 50% so that is just great news!!!

If you don't mind me asking, I'm really curious where you find your deals because you're always posting really great purchase prices on large, popular, or exclusive sets. It seems these deals would be next to impossible to find regularly in the states without serious LEGO discount voodoo magic.

#1 Are discounts like 50% of ISD or some of your other posted deals routinely found at retail shops in Europe?

#2 Are you combining multiples coupons, discounted gift cards, membership points, cash back rewards etc, to calculate your total discount? (LEGO discount voodoo magic)

#3 Do you have some type of wholesaler/store manager special pricing that is not available to the general public?

 

 

PM sent!

There's a toysRus in Bradford with some left, +some independents near me.

Not sure if full RRP is worth it though?

*raises hand* I'd also like a PM

me too please

I don't usually ask, but curiosity has gotten the best of me. I'll take one of those pm's too if you don't mind. Guessing it's not something currently available?

Me and my big mouth! There´s no witchcraft, smoke and mirrors or anything illegal or ethical. It just requires a bit of time to record which shops stock which items and what promos they usually do and when. After 2 years you can see a pattern develop so all you need to do is wait and time your purchases well r.e argos 3x2.

Remember that here we have higher than average RRP prices so 50% is maybe only 30-35% off German prices and certainly nothing even close to US deals.

Yeah, nothing on this board is ethical!

I m interesting by a PM too

Enjoy the PM stampede valenciaeric. Two pages of PM requests later.... and we'll get back to important things, like live star.
