Bold-Arrow Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Because some people use these types of threads to entertain themselves and post garbage all day and night that aren't even relative to anything let alone Lego. I've had to unsubscribe from a bunch of them because my email account keeps thinking it's getting spammed and well it is. Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker Agreed about the garbage. As long as it is SSD related I don't see the problem. P.S: I've unsubscribed from som threads too ;) Quote
Hollyw00d Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 So they cancelled my phone order after having it be confirmed for two days. Great Quote
NJHitmen Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I want that job. LOL ...and now back to "call to check product availability". I picture that guy doubled over, in stitches, as he reads this post. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote

Or someone forgot to send the memo to database folks. Either that, or they banned you, Hollyw00d.. Quote
johnwray Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 ...and now back to "call to check product availability". I picture that guy doubled over, in stitches, as he reads this post. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker CS says it's not available and that they're updating the page. Again. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Even without the investment aspect, as a collector I still struggle with the cost of buying even ONE of these sets for myself. It's a lot of money regardless, and significantly more than 10030 for comparison.I agree wholeheartedly. Heck, I try to keep my overall spending on frivolities in a month to less than $300 so putting everything into one thing for yourself or resale is a lot to say the least.Please do not shut this thread.As long this doesn't turn into another joke of a thread and people remain civil, it should be fine.

djim Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 FAO Schwartz in NYC has an SSD with a damaged box for $450 ($500 - 10% for damage) if anyone is interested. I passed. Quote
Ed Mack Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 This is turning into the Crawler thread. JUST DIE ALREADY Hey wait, wheres Mark? It only turns into the Crawler thread because of comments like yours. 2 Quote
Dbroncoboy Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Personally I hope we can keep this thread open as I like to keep up with what is going on with the SSD. If your sick of reading it then unsubscribe and don't come back. The rest of us are interested and that's why we are keeping it updated with any changes. Closing threads (while necessary sometimes) really benefits nobody. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 41999 is not dead either. Ebay has 169 listings sold in the last 90 days. Not too bad. Hasn't grown, but it will. No way investors are buying it now. As for the SSD, I think the only reason I am not buying more than the few I have is I don't want to have to ship that thing. Quote

As for the SSD, I think the only reason I am not buying more than the few I have is I don't want to have to ship that thing. That's exactly why I have none in my stock. I refused to buy this set because of its size and weight and shipping that thing from Hawaii to the world = loose money = wasted time! Quote

Alpinemaps Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 For those of you in SoCal, 10221 has reappeared at Legoland California. With an annual pass, you will get 10% off. I did not pick up any today, even though I need to. They had 4 on the shelf. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app 1 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 My store is sneaky, they keep some of the bigger sets in the back. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Man hard to imagine people used to be able to get these at $309. Quote
exciter1 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Man hard to imagine people used to be able to get these at $309. I think several people got them for buy 2 get one free. Quote
