I'm living order to order with them - I don't dare leave those points on my account for more than a few days in case they go belly-up in the meanwhile. Tomorrow is WWW day - hope to score a few dollars more in points, then time to cash out again (and hopefully start the accumulation of more points for next week ). FREE LEGO!

I've been waiting for Double VIP to pick up the T1 Camper, but sadly it looks like I missed out. So tonight at the Lego store I picked up 10252 instead. Had a serious mental debate about also picking up a modular, but i held off (for now). I also saw 2 Temple of Airjitzus which are currently on sale for $150ish. I'm thinking I should've picked one of those up. Guess that just gives me an excuse to go back!

Why did you miss out? It's still available (though on backorder for the 19th) at LEGO Shop at Home - if you order there you'll get your double VIP.

That's a great build, it was my like third set.  It's challenging, b/c it's not in numbered bags like most sets, so you have to sort the 1,000+ pieces and find each piece. You will then have to follow it up with the Mini, the F40, the Beetle, and the Caterham is the only problem.

Wild Wins Wednesday ... a special SYW Sweeps that runs only on Wednesdays (duh) and almost always pays, plus it has one or more Doorbuster periods throughout the day where you get an additional $1-$3 just for playing.

Saved up a bunch of points from Raise.com purchases. Had a $15 back on $15 expiring and to my delight it stacked with a $10/50 and $24 in my points. Plus I earned an additional $15 in points for buying my GC through Fount!

That's a lot to be paying, even allowing for Aussie prices being a bit nuts, a lot of people will have a buy in at least half what you paid. So you could be waiting a long time to make a decent return.

To be honest I wanted it for myself (liked the movie), and it was only 100 bucks. Look on Aussie ebay and it was one of the cheapest available.

Broke my own rules already, but from now on it's soon to be retired/on sale larger sets.

According to the BrickFolio I'm up a couple of hundred bucks already, but it's always easier to buy than to sell lol.

If your going to build 21303 that's all good, enjoy the set. But investment wise your going to struggle to turn a dollar for a long time. Even tho I never seen them in a retail shop, with VIPs I was getting them for $50ish. I have only one KeM and would have sold it to you cheaper than that if you had asked.

75103 FOT finally dropped more 50% off in my area. At $45 these were meh, but at $27 I'm not sure you can go wrong.

add name of set

[MinifigW]

Nice find with the Elmo. That's going to be an easy x5 RRP when it retires.

[Alpinemaps]

That was fun.

Now, back to the subject on hand.

Can confirm that R2-M3 is available for a $55 SW LEGO purchase at LEGOLAND California.

Any word on legoland florida running the same promo?

Had my 16 month old with me, she wouldn't put it down. I guess the price you pay for dragging your kids along.

07728 for the zip

[167pilot]

tracker shows 40+ at those stores. Not accurate or limits at store?

Sorry mate, didn't know about you.

What part of Oz do you reside in?

I'm in the NSW mid north coast.

As I said above, the 21303 is for me and was only a 100 bucks. I'm happy enough with these KEM's, as the shop said they'd go out the back and pick me the 2 best boxes they could find.

But sure...love to hear what you have, and swap notes with you

KMart was in a giving mood today:

$5 each before tax - I'll take it (80% off)
