Achilles Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 4 hours ago, Pseudoty said: I had to go to the Apple store at the mall today and was early for my pickup time so I went into the Lego store to kill time. I think the last time I bought a set from there was Assembly Square on New Year’s Day 2017 and they still had them on the shelf today. My GF (like how I threw that in there) said: “let’s get a set to build it will be fun”. They had a lot of neat sets I had never seen in person: diagon alley, coliseum (no way was I building that), piano, Batmobile, and many more. We ended up getting barracuda bay it just looks like a fun build, no points, no promos, no sales, no backroom deals just being a regular person not a reseller or QFLL. I want this set for a personal build, just need to find the time. I still have my Eldorado Fortress and Black Seas Barracuda on the shelf.

$20 on joe vs dan Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) is there any way I can talk my wife into believing the Vestas set is a functional fan that we could use to cool the air in the living room?

Sets look to be complete with minifigures, but missing manuals. Only interested in keeping 7036, so if any pickers are interested in any of these DM me and we can work out a deal less than eBay or Bricklink. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post elmaslıefendi Posted December 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Got a rare one, new & sealed 4478 in the blue box, none listed anywhere, just one sold through BrickLink in October for ~550€/~$660. Black box is quite common, this one isn't apparently. Literally no sealed blue boxes. Edited December 31, 2020 by elmaslıefendi 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicSpeed Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Went to the Lego store. It was very busy. Picked-up the Bonsai tree and flower bouquet. Didn't want to be there long, should have looked for the TukTuk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cladner Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) i remember when i thought this would be a winner but then the barge(s) showed up post EOL and seller count went into triple digits and i was a little concerned but faith in a perennial winner is rewarded. i still have a freaking ton of these but since they sell like hotcakes at $57-59, few more unexpected at $20 msrp didn't seem so bad. even if they are smashed returns, still will make money. there were originally 20x when i noticed they were available so probably not returns. i put 14 in my cart, ended up with 6, reduced to 4 by time i frantically hit the pay button.

redghostx Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I found a discounted Winter Village Fire Station in the wild today by random chance. A welcome find. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I just ordered the Bookshop from target using my discounted GCs so no great deal, but got it to build looks like it will look nice with the Police station I ordered from LEGO Shop at Home.

The most I've ever done was two transactions on one trip with one VIP account. My Lego store is a smaller one with usually only 2 staff working, so it's pretty obvious.

The nearest lego store is 2 hours away and I go there maybe twice a year, I've bought a dozen brickheadz at one go whilst they are not bothered by it I'm not sure if it causes my account to get flagged.

Dude your calling my wife cringeworthy 😂 Well she is somebody’s wife from Austin TX Anyway, I found her relatively new channel when looking for a review of the new Modular police station and her’s was pretty good IMO.

The time interval counter has sections labeled so you can jump/skip ahead. Must be a newer feature on Youtube. Very helpful to jump through 2 hour videos for the 1 min of content you are looking for. In this case, I just wanted to see the Police station next to other Modulars. However, this small feature doesn't reduce the cringe level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
