If you told me a couple years ago I would be a moderator having 10,000 posts under my belt ranked as Chairman of the Brick with a Haunted House on permanent display from earned points, I would thought you were crazy yet here I am or better here we are. I honestly wasn

Just got the update from eBay that all my files are available. I took a quick look and do see them there, so tonight I will start to work on the price guide update. Since I am doing two months, it will take a bit longer than normal, but hopefully it should be there by Wednesday/Thursday. I have fixed a bunch of the migration bugs, so sporadic errors should start to be minimizing. Again, thank you for your patience, trust me, I know it's annoying when things don't work right.

I don't even know who you are....?

Love ya work! Grats on the 10k,

Man, just remember. We have had to read all those

Don't make the mistake of thinking that RAID is a backup system, because it's not. It's just a way of keeping your server up-and-running during a disk crash. You should always backup critical data, regardless of the RAID level you're using.

Can we get a count on how many of those posts were memes or videos?

I bought a MISB Cafe Corner for almost $600 after watching the values of this gaudy and tacky set continue to rise from $300 in a few months. It was then I realized that the Modulars were a fan favorite.

Hi I am New to Brickpicker.com!!!, for almost year I created video review of LEGO set with stop motion animation for fun! You are more welcome to see the all cool video here DeafpilotboyTV at youtube.com. Enjoy!! Also more info at deafpilotboy.com

Tell me about it. I can remember that yet can't remember what I did yesterday. Ha. Quoted for truth.

Lol...it's funny that you remember that I am an achiever. I haven't had the dude and Walter as my profile pic for quite some time now. Best. Movie. Ever. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

I always enjoy your posts, TOK. Keep them coming, especially the youtube clips! Sometimes things get a little too serious around here and your sense of humor helps to keep things in perspective. Congrats!

Alright here is my request: Whenever this set does retire, us brickpickers own the second hand market. So can we all just agree to jack up our prices to like 2,500$?!

Congrats, TOK! I remember when I first joined up, you and Stephen were already dominating in post count. The forum has definitely come a long way, with you playing a huge role in its development! See you in 1,111 posts!

The only thing I have on permanent display is my threadbare wallet.

Congrats on 10k.

Hey OrcKing, mad props for making it to 10,000 posts!

Congratulations on your success with finding happiness.

Funny how just 7 months ago everyone on this site would do anything to get their hands on those sets ( discounted price was nice but not necessary)

And I was feeling good about passing 500 last week! Two thumbs up!

Congratulations TOK!! You`ve hit a tremendous milestone! Hope this doesn`t mean you`ll just stop posting now, though I`m sure some part of you would like a vacation?

no problem at all. I've seen so many posts saying that Lego is 'screwing' with us that it and like you were serious. As to your note about the system being triggered by Phantom stock. I think there are plenty of legit issues that could make a system behave like this. There's failed payments, mistyped 3 digit CC codes, billing addresses not matching, etc that could take the final batch of items and throw them into a temporary state of. .. we're not sure if these are really sold or not. It might take cs reps several attempts to call customers and untangle all these issues. Some are true failed payments and the item becomes available, some get resolved. All of this happens all the time but is hidden by the 100's in inventory. This is just my theory of what we're seeing.

First sets I bought with no intention of quick-flipping were 2 Grand Emporiums. I have a couple of Live Stars I got just before the no-discounts policy went into effect which are at this point long term investments, even though I wasn't thinking of them as such when I bought them over a year ago. *Sigh*. (It only took a year, but I'm finally at the point where I'm actually investing...next thing you know, I'll be making snide remarks about quick-flipping low lifes LOL)

Did I miss the post about GE being removed from TRU.com or is this a new revelation?

My first set I ever bought for resell was Dino 5887 for $69. But then I opened it My first set that I actually kept was Vampyre Castles. 3 of them. Still have them along with a hoarde of others. Damn you TRU.

or more likely this is exactly how an inventory system works when it goes from thousands available to just a handful available.

This forum, and people like you, have ruined my life!!!!

Great job TOK - keep the hitz coming...

Nice job Orc! I think this forum has enhanced my life a little. Definitely financially!

Thanks for all you do to keep things fun and relevant!

great post Orc King!

10000 like CUUSOO? Shouldn't you be made into a Lego set then !

Congrats TOK..keep them post coming

Congrats and thanks for contributing to make the forum enjoyable to follow.

Awesome and congrats! You've done well for brickpicker so keep it up. Cheers to the next 10,000!

Lego celebrates its 15th anniversary since the first wave of releases for Star Wars in 1999! Amazing it really has been that long, huh? via The Brick Fan

If this is the case why didn't we see the Delorean go out of stock while they changed the box? The Rover may come back but I don't think it will have anything to do with the box. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker

I had to leave in a hurry yesterday and didn't even watch the video through before uploading it to youtube. Here is the link with correct audio. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw12Ppobmc0

Made my first purchase today of lego to hold and sell after EOL or to flip quickly havent decided yet. Only very very new to lego investing/forums/blogs. I bought town square 60026 for

Found 9473 for $54. Bought one and left a few on the shelf, am thinking I should go back and pick them up

I hate it when mods erase me posts. (watch this one will probably get erased) We should be able to erase mods posts.

I always put 15 for online dating. Then I have the NBC news team waiting when they show up.

That's another important fact to keep in mind. With sets this size, after all shipping and fees are taken out, even if the set doubles in value your profit will never be that high, unless you sell several of them.

I was doing some shopping at my favorite Target today. It is worth mentioning that I was there two days ago, and they didn't have anything worthwhile LEGO-wise. Being the eternal LEGO optimist, I decide to check the LEGO aisle again. And there it was...on the top shelf, all by itself, with rays of sunlight beaming down on it. The Zombies 9465! Now before anyone gets too excited, the box is in pretty bad shape. I'm talking maybe a 6/10 for condition. Regardless, I was beside myself with excitement. Horrible condition aside, the good news didn't stop there. I got to the checkout, fully prepared to pay $39.99 for it. Then it rung up at $27.98! On top of this, I found a Desert Skiff set that someone had returned. It was on clearance for $17.48. Also a pretty sweet deal! The point of this thread is not to gloat, no sir! The moral here is that if you live close enough to a retail outfit that carries LEGO, it would benefit you to check back as frequently as possible. I never thought I was going to come across these two sets today. I was prepared to feel the disappointment that has been more common lately than not. I hope everyone who reads this has a similar experience soon! Happy hunting everyone!
