spener90 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 In the case that someone wants to purchase one to build, the warehouse deal for 134 will just be a damaged box. Not $100, but still a nice price. Quote

I think this is probably a good idea. I think the B-wing and HH may eventually be worth the same but the HH is going to grow quicker in my opinion. Quote
KG204 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 In case there is anyone who didn't notice, the B-wing on Lego's website now states "call to check product availability" Quote
willy431 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Maybe they will redesign the heap, so it will stay on it's stand--and re-release it? Quote

LOL You have none? Credit Cards rock - you don't have to pay for stuff. In all seriousness I have a bunch because of rewards deals. Like 9 I think? Lol. Hard to keep up with. Quote

You should be able to get a free checking account under a parents account - I believe you can with most banks. You are a smart kid and probably don't need the coaching and learning that come with managing your own account, but its still good experience. My Dad opened one for me as a kid and taught me how to perfrom deposits, withdrawals, balance a checkbook, and all that. *Old man voice* Of course back then we didn't have ATM machines and debit cards. 1 Quote

I have thought about it, but then I spent majority of my money on LEGO. Thanks for the compliments! Quote

Get a credit card as soon as they will give you one. Use it to buy things you have money for and pay them off immediately. You can start building a credit history and that will pay off huge when you go to buy your first house. Yes yes, you are 14 and that's an old people problem. But I felt like I was 14 just a few years ago... Quote

It'll be a while before I run out of space though. Buying a house is a long way off. For now let's worry about high school, shall we? Quote
pat_teeth_hurt Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I called lego today about switching some 10227's I had that were damaged during delivery. They said they have no more in stock and there are no orders in the system. They said that typically means its retired. Let the fun begin! Quote

If true, we are looking at a Star Wars UCS set that was available on Lego.com for only 9 months (or so). Wow. The available $156 prices currently online are looking very appealing now. Don't be left without a few units... Quote

I would actually not recommend getting a credit card until you are mature enough. I don't have one yet, and have done well so far. Quote

Having a credit card is really really good early early early. Just have your parents control the statement or something. I got a stupid low interest rate on my first house because i had the credit cards early. I wish I had started them when I was in my teens. Saving interest on a house is big business. Quote

Usually they just try to get you to replace it or something. Amazon is the store that you would go to to get a discount on damaged merchandise. So you are in Chicago? I assume you are talking about the Watertower LEGO Store, correct? You should check out the Chicago/IL Thread. http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/1462-the-chicagoil-area-forum/ Quote
CNH1974 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 It seems a common thread, excuse the pun, that people can get a discount from amazon or LEGO Shop at Home if the box arrives damaged. Seems a bit random though. I got my my damaged tower bridge from the lego store because they were selling it as damaged. Got 10% off. Off course it would have been even cheaper buying it from amazon.it :( Quote

All three did not have the bwing unless they were hiding them in the back. Thanks. I saw the Chicago thread this past week. I'll start following it and adding my local experiences. Quote
