Anakinisvader Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 My family would totally do this: I saw this and almost peed my pants I was laughing so hard. Uh uh, looks like I did. Quote

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Pics of your 200 crawlers or it never happened ........... This is one of the many internet phrases that absolutely needs to die a painful death. But he came through anyway. Are these limited edition though? I don't think the secondary market will be kind to these. I would return them. 1 Quote

Fcbarcelona101 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Pics of your 200 crawlers or it never happened ........... Ok, this is just my personal opinion, so please don't assume that other mods or admins see it the same way. This "pics or it never happened" is something I just don't understand. For example, take that time I got that excellent deal that included Market Street for $60 and similar discounts on a bunch of valuable sets. If someone had asked me to post pics to "verify" I actually got it, do you really think I would post them just to prove something on here? I would say no. Quite honestly, when I get a great deal it makes no difference to me whether people on here believe or not, I will still make lots of money either way. Even more, anyone that is coming here and posting fake deals or purchases just to look smart or gain some sort of reputation is what I would consider pathetic. 6 Quote

When someone tells something incredible.... as having 200 crawlers... people tend to want to see some ''proof'' not just because they do not believe it but because it would ALSO be great to see 200 crawlers in 1 room... simple as that... I myself dont care if he has 200 or 150 or 5... but seeing 200 crawlers in 1 room on a photo would just be great... I dont believe it right now but I will believe it if he shows it once and even next time when he claims something I'll believe him... but i dont care either way 1 Quote

For me, it depends on who makes the statement. If someone just joined the site today and comes into this thread to say they had 200 crawlers, I myself would like to see that this new member is not just starting "trouble" or killing the thread. But hey, if you have the connections, and people that are willing to help out, anything is possible. Quote
M4x18 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Back on topic, the guy with the supposed 200 Crawlers must be the same guy that had something like 80+ about 3 weeks ago. This was already discussed previously on the thread. As I am writing this post, I looked up the guy on Instagram, user @mozzie1986. He has a picture of the Crawlers and stated that he's <slowClaps>past the 200 mark.</slowClaps> Quote
M4x18 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Also, reading the comments on his pic, he states that he has paid nearly 300 GBP apiece. Some quick math... 300x200 = 60.000 GBP. That's insane. Quote

That's insane. For those of you that use US Dollar that is $475 per set and total of $94,914.00. Yes, that is a lot of money!! Quote
M4x18 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Guess some of the sellers here contributed to him reaching that mark. That leaves out the suspicions of foul play between him and Lego. Quote
willy431 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I don't have instagram--where is the person? I sold 4 to one guy in GB. I sold 2 to a guy in Ca, 2 to a guy in NJ--and 2 to someone in China. All just over $400. Quote
cvail8 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 What kind of amazes me at this point is that none of us (as far as we know) is a mole inside one of the Lego stores. Imagine the possibilities. Quote

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Don't be silly, there are no girls on the internet. Why do I spend soo much time on the internet then?!?!? NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Ok, this is just my personal opinion, so please don't assume that other mods or admins see it the same way. This "pics or it never happened" is something I just don't understand.

Even more, anyone that is coming here and posting fake deals or purchases just to look smart or gain some sort of reputation is what I would consider pathetic. Absolutely. Even more so, what do the people asking for proof get out of it? Oh, you don't have them? awesome, I proved you wrong now I feel better about my low self-esteem. Who...freakin...cares. It's called a <enter word for genitalia here> measuring contest and it literally does not matter. When we die, we all go to the same place - the ground. If proof is needed though, I think we could just all ask for it in a much more polite way. And sometimes some of us ask for pictures just because we want to see it because it's awesome! When someone tells something incredible.... as having 200 crawlers... people tend to want to see some ''proof'' not just because they do not believe it but because it would ALSO be great to see 200 crawlers in 1 room... simple as that...

I would want to see the great crawler pyramid. Beats the ones made out of beer cans that are normally in my places of living. Quote

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Lego-Technic-Limited-Edition-4x4-Crawler-Exclusive-Power-Function-Set-41999-/171124886071?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item27d7d68a37 Man that one got creamed. I think that will seriously affect the sets value. The box is a big draw - although I guess if you find someone who just wants to build it. Quote
graffiti600rr Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Pretty sure that this is what TLG does NOT want. But good on him for spending more money than alot of people make in a year. Hope it works out for him. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 I personally think some employee snapping photos in a Lego warehouse. Quote
Jackson Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 When we die, we all go to the same place - the ground. Nope. Resellers who buy one or two 41999s go to heaven. Resellers who buy over two go to hell. 2 Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Nope. Resellers who buy one or two 41999s go to heaven. Resellers who buy over two go to hell.damn.....missed the heaven cut off by one. O well you can't win state every year! Quote
rcdb1984 Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 That mean i go to hell 5x quicker? Quote
leaningjowler Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Does anyone have anything remotely relevant or interesting to post to this thread? Instead of posting nonsense here how about scouring the Internets looking for Lego deals.... 1 Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted September 12, 2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Maryland lego stores still have plenty of crawlers limit two per person Quote
