Break them in half?

Instead of the beast, I wonder if the montly minibuild animals would be better fit.  Perhaps the Narwhal??

You spent roughly $4480 on Ferris Wheels? Ok now that is the one thing I don't get about this site haha  

I sure did.  Timing was reasonable, price was right.  I sold a healthy amount at 90-100% ror after expenses last year.  I also didn't do that with the modulars, pc, do or pr.  I have a 8-10 each of those and that's it.  It's a risk game and at 20% it made it worth it.  Ferris wheel is exceptional display and play set.

Amazing that you could sell it for, what, about $350 each or so (trying to determine how you'd generate 90-100% return on a $160 buy-in)!  I guess there are a lot of informed buyers out there.  Never ceases to amaze me!!!!

Anyone know why they skipped 10256? Or is it just a 14-wide car that's not yet announced?

Is there an early VIP access to that set?

Looks like next Monday will be an expensive day then.  Another set I can't wait to build and put next to Ferris Wheel.  Haven't cracked open any Fairground Mixers yet.

I was going of the Lego store calendar, but as far as I can tell the date is June 1st on Lego S@H too.

Maybe they changed date?

Yep, and signing in does you no good.  Must be an error on their part.  Shocking.

Was expecting next Monday, so today would just be a bonus. Had my hopes up though.

[c_rpg]

Yes it's up already. Guess the calendar was wrong?

Seen this one running on PF. And I have to admit, Michael Psiaki absolutely nailed it with design and final execution, THIS SET IS ABSOLUTELY BEUTIFUL!
and the most important fact is that THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO STUTTER, No friction no jumps etc this construction with PF is running butter smooth.
Can't wait to build mine and see what kind of "magic" is responsible for this result.
Mike, good to have you on board mate. I'm very looking forward to see more constructions in the future from this Lad.

Yep.  Missed on the original but after seeing the reviews on this one I'm really excited to see just how well this one works.  Thanks again for the QAR.

One of my few day or release buys. Used VIP points and gift cards so only paid $35
