segreto Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 OP... Lemme think. Oak Park? If so, I didn't know that there was a LEGO Store there. Did you call the Watertower location? Orland Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Orland Park Yup, Orland Park. Schaumburg is closer so I checked there. Watertower is a little bit of a hike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Who here went to the Gurnee Mills Grand Opening and grabbed their Lego Store set? If you did, what did you buy to get it? I bought x2 Funhouse - what a great set. And it's taking every once of willpower to keep from opening the Lego Store set box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon90820 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 i got a grand emporium, i've been wanting it for awhile now to build and plan on selling the store set. i was going to get up early to make sure i got one but i was super lazy today. i called the store around 5:30pm and they still had the store sets so I went over. i'm not tempted to open mine at all, it looks pretty bleh and can probably be bricklinked for cheap, except for maybe the lego sticker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Anyone in Chicago that is looking for a decent price on Helm's Deep should log onto Toysrus.com and search for a Store Pickup at the Burbank store on the south side. there's one or two left as of late last night. If the $25 off $100 promo is still running, you should be able to grab one for $114 total. They are currently selling for over $150 on eBay and rising.

Quacs Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Chicagolanders - OP store still has Winter Village Cottage sets in stock. I called to confirm and they still have a stack left. This one appears to be retiring guys - get them while you can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

segreto Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I only really watch Baseball, though. Bad year for the Sox and the Cubs, in fact, this year, if you combined their losses, it was their worst year ever. Anyway, Sox in 15!

brandon90820 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I'm selling most of my collection and thought you guys might be interested. I just posted it on craigslist (lots of good stuff!!). Can pm me or email with any questions. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/tag/4334180220.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamhappyfrog Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 So glad there is a Chicagoland forum! I have only been on brickpicker for a few months and thought it was a bit weird there were not sighting threads for each state/country. I have been a member of a transformers board board(tfw2005) for 13 years and their Illinois sighting thread is my main post area. We have meet ups special trades, drink nights etc... Hope we can do something like this also. I am in the wrigleyville area and work in River North so always hitting a bunch of stores. The Lego store downtown has all the newest superheroes & Star Wars sets. Grabbed a Joker Steamroller today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 I don't know how many of you are interested in Craigslist buys or loose bulk pieces, but here's a pretty darn good deal... $10 for 2 bins of LEGO's. I'm just not the biggest fan of going to stranger's houses. But hey... http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/tad/4391150113.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segreto Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Looks kinda dirty and played with by a 'baby'. If I saw a few mini's in there, I might bite, but one picture doesn't entice me. Thanks for posting it, though. I am not a fan of CL at all. I am waiting for garage sale season to kick back in soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brick-of-life Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hi Chicago BPers! Have you seen any Robie Houses or John Hancock Centres on B&****** shelves or lego stores lately in Chicago? Understand these are retired but sometimes they still sit on the shelves for a while more. Am thinking of visiting Chicago next week and would be touring RH and JHCs so would like to purchase one of each for momento. Appreciate any advice. Thanks!

brick-of-life Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Thanks both! Info and link has been most helpful. Didn't know there was such a function on B&******.com. Think I'm better off getting one of these sets off ebay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
