Good for you. I wouldn't give that one up for anything!

Check it out. He got it signed by Masashi Togami of Team BTTF and Claudia Wells (Jennifer Parker) from the first Back to the Future movie!

 

 

Lea Thompson was there as well but I didn't know she was there or else I would have gotten her signature too

Just got 4 Orc Forges from Amazon.uk 

 I've just bought 5 as that's all they let me have so, I'm asking my other half to buy another 5 when she gets home - 10 is a nice round number.  BTW... this is no longer listed on Lego GB.

These arrived within the last week.  Im just starting out...

 

 

Just received my new in sealed bags (no box) 10174 UCS AT-ST. Wanted this for a long time and finally pulled the trigger.

I expect a 50, 000 character review by tommorow morning. Just kidding, congrats! Enjoy the build (I hope you are buidling it...)!

Is this going to be for investing or building?

I'm building it at the moment! This is for my personal collection not for investing. I got it cheaper than what used ones are going for so it was hard to pass up!

Have fun building it. I had a blast when I built mine.

I just rebuilt mine recently, great build.  I then sold it (for about $200).  Regret it a little but wanted the money and display space for the new LOTR sets.

I wish I could do this kind of thing. Once I build a set I find it impossible to part with it....One of the reasons I have not even opened the $280 ISD I got a couple weeks ago. Once it's built it will stay lol

Here is a good tip to solve this problem. Buy two or more of the same set. One is to build, and the others are to invest in. I also have this problem of finding it impossible to part out with a set after I built, so this is what I do.

 It has been hard.  But I'm selling out of most of my SW sets to collect LOTR.

I have been shifting to LOTR as well, and once I build the Council of Elrond and the Black Gate I will officially be out of space. Considering that Tower Bridge is already stored, Ewok Village and Sidney Opera House in the horizon, I might start to store even more sets...

Trust me, if he came accross two ISDs for 280 (each) he would have. I think any of us would have.

Finished building and it was enjoyable. The finished model looks fantastic in person.

The mine 69.00

2 x Mines of Mora  54.00 ea

I got a General Grievous 10186 for $82 - only two bags are opened.

Scored quite a haul tonight.

 

1x 10188 Death Star = $320

1x 10234 Sydney Opera House = $270

2x 10228 Haunted House = $120/ea

2x 10225 R2D2 = $120/ea

 

Total = $1,070

 

Sydney at $270...wow, at that price I would be building that set for sure.  Congrats on the haul.  

 

Today I made the pilgrimage to the local Lego store.  4 hours round trip (not good!), but I scored the following:

 

41999 Crawler ($200)

 

Captain America's Avenging Cycle (several at $10.48 each)

 

Next month's promo, the mini VW Bus, is definitely enticing.  

Another Imperial Inspection for $85 and used 4842 for $88

Sometimes one gets lucky.  I went by walmart today, they had a 5770 on the shelf, I didn't think much of it, glanced by it like any other set.  Went home, fell asleep and had a dream that I was at walmart and saw the set.  Woke up, and couldn't figure out whether I had actually seen it or not.  Went to the store anyways, BOOM, $20 Lighthouse! It was dusty, so I figure it was in the back.

You mind if I asked how you scored that? Great deals right there! I see that they were shipped in the original LEGO boxes too

Wow that is a fantastic pickup

He mentioned somewhere that a friend got them for him. I would assume it is some sort of employee discount or something
