stephen_rockefeller Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Sorry just had to get that out over what transpired last night with that stupid minecraft set!!!! I fell asleep not 10 minutes before Aaron posted that they were available on Amazon. I knew there was something up this morning when I checked my notifications and there were 140 new posts overnight! Anyways I'm just pouting, glad you guys got your hands on one! Oh yeah and I still think minecraft is dumb!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay you can buy the 2 I ordered from me for $100 a piece LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doofy McGee Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Sorry buddy. We were thinking of you the whole time. I was trying to will you to your computer using my Jedi powers, but alas, The Force is not yet strong enough with me. But you said it best. Minecraft is still dumb! Dumb as could be! Think of it this way, at least you don't have to sully your noble LEGO collection with the lowly likes of Minecrap. (Got that from your other post. Minecrap...brialliant.) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Any bets that every single one of those sets last night went to someone on this site....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doofy McGee Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 You might be right. I was watching the numbers, and as soon as the post hit the site, the numbers dropped dramatically faster. That was my hope, that our members cleaned out the whole supply so we can all get rich! Muah-ha-ha-ha!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_rockefeller Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 You disgusting monsters.......how many kids were deprived of that LEGO set because of y'all??? Ha ha ha ha ha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doofy McGee Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Kids would just lose all the pieces and drool all over them anyway. Plus, there are a lot of 1x1 pieces in that set, a definite choking hazard. I think we did a great service to kids everywhere! Plus maybe it will slow down the Minecraft juggernaut. The last thing we need is to contribute to the ever growing (but completely inexplicable) growth of this ridiculous game. I weep for the future. Lol.

hreed1985 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Is there anyway I can get notified when a new post is made. That would actually be awesome! I check in the notification/subscriptions but I didn't see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get notified if you posted in the topic previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cflannagan Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm a software engineer and I was actually pondering developing a simple web application that "spiders" various sites (LEGO, Walmart, Target, Amazon, TRU, etc comes to mind) and creates a database of "what's out there" and notify me via email/text/whatever of any events that I want to be aware of (ie: "retiring soon" tag added to an item on LEGO website, or a new item that is not in my database), but I see Brickpicker.com already did most of this work, lol. Not sure how frequently Brickpicker.com checks for new updates out there in the wild (once daily? every half hour?) but if it's frequent enough, hopefully the site owners can develop some kind of notification system, that would be cool!

justgod Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Does anyone know what Amazon's policy is on purchasing limits? I am wondering if this set comes back again if I will be able to purchase another or if they will tell me there is a "limit of one". I imagine there has to be some minimum time frame that has to pass first. One per day? One per week? I just want to make sure I get them before Stephen....

hreed1985 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Do you think it is possible to be able to add a subscribe feature for members to certain forums or to all forums like the mods. It would be great to know what new posts are made. I understand that I can get updates to the posts that I interact with, but it would be awesome to get notifications for new posts made that I was unaware of.

exciter1 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm thankful I wasn't around. I have one of these sets and that is enough. I hate having stuff around that I will potentially never open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It prob would be a good idea if some people had each other's mobile # to at least text msg each other or send a mass text for situations like this. A few people hav my mobile # on the RebelScum SW Vintage forums and we help each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 I was actually gonna send out a few PMs with that info just hadn't got around to it.....that definitely would have helped out. The minecrap sets will be available again soon I can feel it. I only need one just to say I have it...........its garbage IMO. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
