Great price - But with all these "great" sets finding their way to 20% off or more, it might not really be such great news.

I married someone whose Venn diagram of interests with me doesn't have a huge overlap.

She watches the Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars and I watch Supergirl and the Flash. I listen to 80s music she's firmly in today. She just never had an interest in the good stuff. Lol

 

That's what happens when you marry someone ten years your junior.     (my assumption at least, haha)

I have a similar Venn diagram with only a 5.5 year gap.  But she does watch GoT and is a bigger TWD fan than I am.  The only Star Wars she's watched was while my daughter and I were watching them and she only half watched while editing photos.

Crawling to OOS!

I''ll take all the exclusives discounts that I can.  This is the way it used to be, (10179 must have been a bad seller due to always being on sale) before the illegal price controls by a non US entity.

Crawling in and out of stock at Walmart.

Seems like the old method of only VIP points for damaged boxes doesn't apply anymore, my local lego store was doing 15% off, pretty good deal for only some cosmetic damage.

 

[thebrickdad]

Which store, and did you buy?

15% off for a personal build seems OK.

Didn't buy it as already got one. Also trying to save money as bought too much recently from tesco 3 for 2.

SC should do well once retired but I just don't like buying big exclusives as I have limited storage space. I also prefer to buy small - medium size sets instead of exclusives as prefer to sell after shorter period instead of long hold.

Welcome to lego investing in 2016.

Lol. While she would have you believe she's 10 years younger (and she does look the part) she's only a year younger than me.

Pointless comment when the pic shows that the Lego store is in the UK.

Thanks. Bit too far to drive from the smoke.

That´s what happens when you know you won´t be able to sell what you got on sale.

[Ciglione]

It's also about that the sales are accessable to anyone (amazon.uk for example). So it is not even worth to mention what you bought. We already know.

It used to be more fun to post something like: I found this set for this ridiculous price at a toyshop in my neck of the woods. 

Now it has become boring indeed.

This time 2 years ago alot of quality stuff was long gone and it was F5 time. Truly the peak. There was chaos, there were cryptic clues, and there was a ton of money to be made. Now it is TLG telling you what is retiring in the hopes you clear their massive oversupplies. Not quite the same thing.

[Bold-Arrow]

Totally different times . Folks used this site to gain an advantage now u need it just to stay in the game pretty much .

Saturday and Sunday mornings were don't sleep in or lose out.
