  2. They will either both be back, or neither will be. Or one will be back and one will not. Or both will be back briefly and then discontinued again. Or Exo will be and not RI or vice versa. There will either be one or more production runs of both, either, neither or no more runs of one or the other or both. It is likely that I will buy between 0 and 100 more of both. Prices will likely remain the same for RI, increase if supply is low, or decrease upon multiple more runs. For Exo the outlook looks the same. Mark my words, put it in the bank. My Lego manager insider told me, his wife plays bridge with the wife of a guy who works on the board of directors of some place that knows the CEO.

  5. Don't really understand why people almost always associate this set with "Halloween" Its a Haunted House. Its Haunted all year long. Its Haunted on Valentines day, Forth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas & yes, even Halloween. BTW, if you don't have one or want to get another one, buy it now, forget the Camper, GE, SC,PS ect...

  6. I know the catalog is a poor indicator of EOL, but I would have to say the HH is a goner if they are not promoting it in the Fall catalog.

  9. This doesn't surprise me, it seems like Lego uses a weak tape for the seals. As was previously mentioned in the exo suit thread, the seals on those sets are slipping due to the strain of the box flap, gotta keep those sets packed tight or they'll eventually pop. Also, the seals on the SSD's tend to stretch and slip if they're moved around too much, probably due to the massive size of the set and only have 2 seals on each side. Lego really needs to re-evaluate how they seal sets, really wish they'd just go back to the punch tab style boxes for everything instead of taped seals.

  17. I finally cleared off a shelf to display my B-Wing, I really like the set and it's pretty sturdy for what it is. The stand seems to work well, although a strong bump would probably knock it off. I've always loved this ship and the Y-Wing. I guess I have a thing for oddly shaped ships. I'm secretly hoping for a redo of the UCS Y-Wing to add to my collection.

  18. Some sets are at MSRP. For those, use a coupon, rewards, CC discount, and discounted gift cards. For marked up sets, price match with another retailer, ideally when it's on sale, then use rewards and discounted gift cards. I have consistently gotten certain sets this year from TRU at better prices than any other retailer, just have to plan your stacking carefully and wait for the right moment.

  19. Bought my first Live Star today. Signed up for a TRU card and got the 15% off. $340 ship to store. I plan on buying another DS from LEGO Shop at Home in Oct for double VIP and I also plan on finding me a used but complete one so I am not tempted to open these two.

  20. I gave you that once the Dominion War started, it limited the writing somewhat as most episodes had the war as main plot or subplot in some way. However, IMHO there were still variety of stories late season 6 and the beginning of 7 that the show did not become just about the war (even though that was the big thing threatening the whole Alpha quadrant at the time)

  24. One other thing that might be confusing you is that they're not talking about VIP points from the Lego store. They're talking about Amazon credit card reward points. You get 3% back for Amazon purchases that can be used to either buy something else or apply towards your credit card bill. With Lego VIP points, it doesn't matter how you spend them.

  25. Just wanted to get back to you on this. In the upcoming forum release, tables are a standard feature in the editor, so I will not be adding any plugins to this board. I will wait until the upgrade is available.

  26. .. Or just watch Star Trek Deep Space 9 (DS9), available for free to Amazon Prime subscribers. One of the best scifi show ever. The show cleverly presented the different races (Ferengis, Cardassians, Bajorans, Klingons, the Founders, etc) as societies with their own unique rules and customs instead of as "race of the week" (exposed in 1 episode, forgotten in the next). It was well written too with episodes that managed to be distinct yet still part of the bigger continuity.

  27. I do not see the contradiction. The rules simply mean any good Ferengi can do good business in war OR peace. * Contemplating about changing my avatar to Quark ;)

  30. Add the item from each seller to your cart (do "save for later" just in case...). If they have less than 5 or less than 10, you will be shown "XX left". If one of listing don't show that, then edit qty for that entry in the cart to 999

  36. IF IF IF TLG retires SSD (done), DS,GE,HH,SC, Winter Market Village, and maybe T1(?), it is gonna be one memorable end for 2014 ..

  37. If you can find Series 1 in the wild still, pick these up. I've been flipping set after set the last couple of days. TRU seems to have some still. I'm buying them out. They are selling for more than 2x RRP, which isn't bad for a freshly retired set. I've got plenty socked away for later, but they're so easy to sell right now, I can't resist the flip.

  39. As I said in the other thread, if the HH is not in the Fall LEGO catalog(Halloween), I think it's a goner.

  42. I agree. Like you said, box condition only matters for some sets. Bottom line is people want "new" sets and box condition is secondary,

  43. Just built HH. It is a fantastic gorgeous piece of Lego. That one is difficult not to open. I ordered 6 of them at good price, 5 for investment and 1 to build... because I just HAD to.

  44. If the catalog was sent to printers before August 2nd, of course RI would be in catalog. They are not going to reprint catalog just because they ran out of one set. Wasn't SSD in some sort of holiday catalog?

  46. Really wasn't a feature that was talked about or used all that much. I will revisit it again after a few of these other products are released. Right now, my main goals are to get classifieds launched, a site update for certain areas and a new mobile app that we haven't talked about that goes with one of our new features. Based on the direction this site has headed in, we feel it will be something useful to many.

  47. I know it wasn't done on purpose, but for me, I prefer those color variations if I'm building something that is supposed to be old like a castle wall or haunted house.
