Neosphinx Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Well we all do have common ground here. I drank five Belgian beers last hour (Blue Moon), love Bonaparte, and think the SC is one classy bird. In 1999, the Confederation des Brasseries de Belgique (The Confederation of Belgian Breweries) sued the then-named Coors Brewing Company over its use of the term "Belgian White." The CBB alleged Coors' advertising was misleading, and could confuse American consumers into believing Blue Moon was made in Belgium. Budweiser is even more Belgian then that Moon thing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weakside Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks for the heads up Sandwraithx157, would love to get 2...at the moment just trying to lower my inventory a bit more before investing in other sets. But definitely a smart purchase at this point I think, secondary prices are relatively high already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 The human body is an efficient machine for converting real ale into Budweiser. If someone is seriously ill, the result is Fosters! Anyhow, isn't a Blue Moon what you see when a Smurf bends over? As for the SC, I have 13 and ain't stopping there. One of the most iconic British fighter planes of all time.

Huskers1236 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Let's try to stay on topic. I like beer as much as anybody else here, but there's a time and a place. I thought a beer thread would be cool, but I don't see it going anywhere productive and it blurs the line of what is acceptable, especially on a Lego board. As for SC, wish I had more, bought a few over the last couple years but never really hoarded them, now it appears to be long gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscheaf Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Anyone else have 36R4 SCs? Me and someone else in the Order Status thread had SCs arrive from amazon with clearly cut seals and new 36R4 seals placed over them. Mine actually is triple sealed. Just wondering how common this might be, sort of like the Vamp Castle situation perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabc59 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I had a Sopwith Camel that was double sealed that I ordered direct from LEGO. The weight was the exact same as my others, so I decided to keep it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how much target.com was selling them for after raising the price from $99.99. The price moved back and forth between $164.99 to $179.99 during the last month, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, certainly not the buzz of other sets. With Target out of the way, there aren't many places to get this at MSRP. I can't find any in Canada anymore...

LegoManiacc Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Making yet another MSRP showing at LL's and Discovery Centers. Love, love, love this set: a classic, timeless plane and not overly hoarded. Nice, only have 4 myself. After playing musical boxes with about 20 TBs the last few days trying to make room, something to be said for the easy storage size of 10226 too!

Cross Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Couldn't agree more. Compact, instant massive increase in value, and based on the classic nature of the piece one that will not require clever market "timing" to maximize profits. I am in for a few more too.

Veegs Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 TRU.ca has some back in stock...I got my limit (2). We'll see if they actually ship...and if they do if they are in decent shape. Worth a shot, Canucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
