Apologies for the double post and looking like a doofus. Apparently the

That thing is uuuuugly. I mean, I know it's supposed to be, but still... And what's up with the front wheels not touching the ground? It has little train track wheels underneath that roll instead. As for investment potential: If the 30+ yr old guys here arent singing its praises, and they're not, I don't think it has much potential. If you can't sell turtles toys to an 80's kid, you can't sell it.

I'm lost, I was looking for the "unofficial" Target clearance thread. Dang it.

"Thread Digger" is catchier and easier on the eyes

Something like the news feed would be better as a horizontal ticker of sorts than jammed on the right with basically redundant info.

Its too crowded in my opinion. Why I personally prefer the older layout is 1. you get to see new topis on the right (in new one they might get side tracked cos of number of responses in different threads) 2. putting who join (new member) and then also having latest member is not needed imo. What I do think is good from the new layout is the amount of latest posts !

Sorry. Before it was just the topic and at the bottom their name (I think?) there wasn't the 'has posted on'. I think that it clogs the feed up and makes new posts harder to anylize.

Hmm, perhaps I should start a LEGO Annonymous group. Based on the number of potential clients in BP it may be more profitable than selling LEGO on the secondary market

What was the exact date the USA Today article came out? I really can't remember. I joined at the beginning of September last year sometime way before it. Ooh, that does sound sweet. Maybe for a member that posts links to a number of deals?

Nice find. I hit garage sales for about 2 months, never found squat, and figured I'd rather get an extra hour sleep anyway. Glad it worked for somebody :)

It's not exactly a fair award. I'm a builder first and investor second. Also, we need an award for Brickslickster. Not sure what it would be for, but I love the name. Also, Threadcromancer. We've had a lot of necro'd threads lately.

It's probably more structurally sound than the real thing.

Winner! Yes it is frys. I went there today to look at some printers and noticed they had LEGO. I didn't even realize they had toys. I noticed the Knight Buses when I was walking away. Most of their items don't have any pricing, so I had the sales guy running back and forth scanning them for me. The instore prices suck, but instore pickup from online looks pretty good. It is frys so something will probably go wrong when I try to checkout.

This wouldn't happen to be at Fry's, would it? (I just posted a thread about it today too) Many of the prices seem to be pretty good on the in-store stuff. Unfortunately my area only has a few items in stock, and anything they do have available online will pretty much be killed by their shipping. http://www.frys.com/product/6747235

Honestly if LEGO did a mythology theme, I would go broke. That night. Not even kidding. I absolutely adore Greek and Roman mythology. There's just a plethora of heroes, monsters, gods, goddesses, etc that could be fleshed, er, fig'd out. Not only that, but the architecture of that time period was just fascinating. Arenas, altars, temples, AHHH. Everything was so awesome. Atlantis realllllly tickled my mythology bone with its sunken ruins that were very reminiscent of Greek architecture. Even more when LEGO released its Roman soldiers, Captains, Emperors, and traditional fantasy monsters like the Minotaur, Cyclops and Medusa. To be honest, I can't really understand why LEGO -hasn't- done something like this yet. Children are taught enough about this kind of mythology in school (at least I was), and LEGO could even be somewhat educational with a theme like this. I imagine everyone had at least one favorite god or goddess from some pantheon, or at the least enjoyed some of the fabled stories or epics. I really hope the naysayers are wrong in this regard. I would thoroughly enjoy a Mthyology theme. It would immediately become my most favorite LEGO theme of all time. Unless of course, LEGO took another shot at Avatar: The Last Airbender sets. The initial offerings (only TWO sets!) were made before the show took off (back when they thought the series would do only one season), and was competing against Spongebob (insanely dominant at the time) for a spot for a full line. I want my Toph and Azula minifigs!

Yes. This is an improved version of 9398 (exactly the same chassis and mechanics, just a new body from a fellow designer), so it contains all the PFs to make it a RC car.

All i am saying about buying More haunted Houses is you are right who know's when it will retire, but if you have the money to get a few now and then you should, along with a Tower bridge now and then, The batman Arkham Asylum, and the way people talk on here most people don't have any Death Stars. I think when the Retiring soon goes up on the Death star and haunted House, the prices are going go on fire, massive panic buying will take off. And whoever does not have any or just a few of these are going to miss the boat. Most guys on here missed the Boat on the 10179, but you don't want to screw up not having the Death Star,SSDS,Haunted House, Batman Asylum, Helm's Deep, Vampire Castle, Ninjango 9450, falcon 7965, Vokswagen 10220, I have thousands of dollars invested in these. If you are saving money each month I would buy some of the Lego above. I just can't believe anybody on this site does not think the Haunted House and Batman Ayslum will not be a big big Winner, everybody loves Vampires and Monsters, and just look at the $79.99 TRU & Lego Exclusive older Batman Asylum, $500 and up and the new one is way bigger and better. Along with the other sets, The Ninjango 2507 from last year, check ebay now, the 9450 Epic battle will be big next year. last October,November I was on this site telling everybody to get these sets are you will miss the boat. 2507, Black Pearl, Queens Revenge, Potter Castle, 10217 Alley, And last May 4th the Imperial Shuttle was $207 at Lego, looks like not to many people got them, You can't wait for over to hope prices fall 50% or more. Now if you live pay check to pay check well thats different, but if you can afford to buy something now and then you should do it, And I don't mean spend $500 on $10-$20-$30 sets, the big money to be made is from the sets above, and there are more but you can't buy them all.

I always check whether a given set has been selling for more on BrickLink or on eBay, and I price my items accordingly. I've had good success with expensive sets on BrickLink (>$1000). BrickLink fees for the first $500 of an item's value are only 3%, and it drops off pretty fast from there http://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=38 .

How about a pickle dressed as a man drinking a beer!? :)

An epic white tiger, flying through a lightening storm, with Batman riding him, with a saddle of pure ionic energy..... shaped like the Batmobile!! If you can make that..... you would qualifiably be the, THE MAN!! It would look like an 80's rock album.

That is exactly the way it will work. The reputation points will become more important as the Brick Classifieds matures. At the start, there will be jerks trying to abuse the process I'm sure, but as time goes on and people build a large and positive sales record, the jerks will be weeded out.
