If you won't Stephen, I guess I'll post my huge stash......

Selling isn't for everyone. Most transactions most of the time go fine. Some do not, and you do have to be prepared to take some losses. It doesn't matter where you sell. If you sell most places online (and certainly Amazon, eBay, and anywhere you take PayPal), you're subject to their buyer protection policies which mean that you take returns and all those risks. If you sell in your own brick and mortar stores, you have shoplifters and kid damage and credit card chargebacks. If you sell on Craigslist you risk mugging and wasting a lot of time. If you sell only online through obscure venues accepting only postal money orders, you risk not selling much. Like the news, the information you get here is skewed: generally, if it bleeds it leads so if someone has a bad situation, it gets posted here. The majority, the good or uneventful ones, don't.

As a seller, you are obligated to give correct info.

You guys are setting yourselves up for the new "LEGO Whore'der" award.

I am down at Disney this week. Was able to get a Tumbler. They are quite protective of them. Great store. Tons of kids. The employee said its like Black Friday in there every day

Anyone else think the Town Hall would make a good Hill Valley clock tower to go with a Delorean? WIth a little work obviously.

I would print my own little stickers. Like: 100% pure columbian cocaine. Or: Definately not humans inside.

My gf and I did the same thing. We were just appalled, APPALLED I tell you, to learn that people are planning on reselling these at xmas time for a profit. What is this world coming to? Oh btw, could you use the $110 in VIP points I have earned in the last 2 months on this? kthnxbye

Don't push it. Your wife is going to murder you!

My wife couldn't keep a straight face when I acted dumb over the popularity of this set. I was constantly saying. "WOW. thst is amazing. I had no idea". ????

This feels like a harsh comment for a moderator to make on this forum. Certainly to Neosphinx who has been an active contributor to the content on the forums in a constructive manner. Looking to reduce your crowd?

Oh sorry, I'll keep my opinions to myself next time.

For a second there I thought you were stocking up on Lego Bags.

Oh joy, my Chima poly has shipped. Not even upset about my cancelled HHs anymore.

Full set of Series 1 Mixels for $99.99US + shipping.

Look the GE is retiring, if you need some and got the money get them. You guys are just driving yourself crazy. Get the GE if you need them.

About displaying this set, you can remove a wing so it takes less room on a shelf. And about investing, I think it will be still there up to december '16, as usual (2 years on LEGO Shop at Home for technic sets). Maybe up to summer '16 if it's a huge success and not produced anymore. Will it be a winner ? Yes, like most of technics sets that are $120 and more ($120/130 models and $179/199 models). Because of the color scheme, power functions included, big in size, great b-model (one of the best b-model ever), etc. But I would wait for a discount, plenty of time to get this baby. Note that I were wrong for the price on my previous post, 3 months ago: it's finally $139 when I thought $129... lego has increased their price... (but I guessed right for the 42024 ^^ )

You guys are so heartless. To give chima fire bikes to orphans, sick childs, etc. ? Don't you think they suffer enough ? And about US cancels, that's because these sets are on boat to europe, he he...

full disclosure, the 10% CC didnt apply. damn u TRU

All this talk about HHs is gonna make me crack open one tonight and start building!

So it's been quite slow on the Canadian deals thread so I thought I'd post this: All Galaxy Squad sets 50% off, makes for good gifts if not for investment. Sept 27th, spend $100 or more and earn 30x airmiles. Free Geoffrey the Giraffe ($5.99 value) when you spend $30 or more on any Lego set (they say any, but it excludes Galaxy Squad...) Also bonus airmiles for buying other Legos but not worth posting.

Bought a Tumbler. I don't know why. I don't want to build it, it is too early to invest in it, and I hate flipping. I'm sure I'll find something to do with it.

My exact experience yesterday. They even brought a built one out of the back to "sell me" on buying it for my son. I acted like I was on the phone with my wife. I then just had to buy two because my nephew has to have whatever my son gets.

I love Emazers. He is like someone who works for Goldman Sachs and drops in to share key insider information and then quickly departs. Ed would love to have your conjecture on all the topics more often. (sincere)

Do not break that rule. Buy it from me in 2020 for an inflated price.

I have to agree with Bjiri on this one. It is a bit harsh.

now-then not now-now

3rd time to be exact

Available at Shop at Home (Canada). Finally ordered my first one.

Please sell your stock everyone. Prices will plummet to $15 shipped and then you will be losing money.

You could always buy after market sets

He tried flipping them in parking lot and got robbed I'm assuming.... Logical conclusion. Rip

Like literally every star wars set ever from EE

They have finally figured out how to add additional runs to high-priced items when originally scheduled to retire. Beware a new HH run! And if they are using their factories for this, it explains the shortage of newer sets.

Yeah i wanted to walk out of there with that thing. I would have to buy it a plane ticket it home. I would put it in first class

- Keep personally to build: Tumbler - Flip & Profit: Snow Glow Elsa.... uh... I mean Tumbler - Long Term Gain: GE

And back to "Available Now". Song and Dance ritual continues...

Fair point, maybe by the time they file the SNAD complaint at 179 days we can have the Lego page will say retired. (joke)

There are no regular coupons active at the moment. They "only" come about every 3-4 weeks, for a couple of days. There is 20% off with membership though this weekend. Not as good as the regular coupons though, but it depends on what and how much you buy.

I feel the same way when someone uses the word "rare". I usually ask, "great, you have confirmed production numbers. How many exactly were made.... And what is rare?" About that time when I get blocked.

Although banned by the wife, I could not pass up on these deals. My wife will kill me. But better be killed for buying lego than for something else. Ha! - 70010 Chima Lion Chi Temple (MISB) 80 euro - 2507 Ninjago Fire Temple (NISB) 88 euro - 2 x 76011 Super Heroes Batman Man-Bat Attack (MISB) 16 euro each - 76018 Super Heroes Hulk Lab Smash (MISB) 40 euro They had 1 Lion Chi left for that price so I will grab it too in a few minutes when I go back. Doubting about: They also had 2 Benny's Spaceship (MISB) for 68 euro each. Should I grab those as well? One 31012 Creator Family House (MISB) for 44 euro and one 75021 Republic Gunship (NISB) for 88 euro.

That hulk is BADASS!!!

Just got off the phone with LEGO Shop at Home... Asked about GE. They placed an order for two for me and said there is a 50/50 chance the order will go through- she stated 1,240 in stock but they are not sure if all of those units are already on back order. Thus, they allowed me to make the order, on the chance that they will have a remainder between inventory and backlog fulfillment. Very interesting. I will post as to how it plays out.

An investment in the future, I like it

Just when you think you've read everything, now we've got the UCS X-wing as an under the radar set.

He's pulling out stinky dates.

Picked up 4 MISB The Zombies 9465 for $120 each. I know the set is probably near the top of it's value, but I may hold on to them a bit and see. I figured worse case scenario, I could flip for a few bucks... If JAISONLINE hoards his stash for a while, maybe they keep going up, up, up! I'm actually pretty bullish on the whole Monster Fighters theme as a whole having sold some nice lots recently. Now I wish I would have bought even more...(Just have a few vampyre castles left)...

< bleep > S @ H for canceling my backordered HH and practically sold it to other buyer

Yesterday, I built the 6090 Royal Knight's Castle I received this as a gift a couple of weeks ago so I probably will not replace the missing minifigs (1/2 of them) but I will buy the 4 missing pieces as they are cheap. As I did not have the instructions, I had to work with the online set; unfortunately the first 15 steps (of 57) are rotated 90 degrees so that made it challenging. I forgot how neat the 90s castles were (I was a city builder, one of my brothers was the castle man)

With the retirement date for the Death Star do you mean 2017 or 2117? ;)
