Figure I would share my pictures here will do a new one each day...23 Days of "Lego" Christmas here is the Lego Indiana Jones haul from today in front of the tree. Christmas came early! Got the entire theme of Lego Indiana Jones it looked so good in front of the Christmas Tree we are going to try to do a new picture every day for the next 23 days leading up to Christmas; The 23 days of Christmas (In all the Lego Goodness) Check it out delivered today 12/2/2014 Its like being in a time Machine All brand New Mint in Sealed Box MISB 16 sets total!

Well How Many missed the Boat on this set. This set will always be big money, and if they make a Big Batcave or a Bruce wayne manor it will make the Batman Ayslum even more popular. I been posting for 2 years to get the AA when ever you can, I no some guys have been buying these, but most likely alot of guys on here don't have any or just a few. Batman sets will always be good money makers. So if see the AA get as many as you can. Ed

Yeah, something about winning the F5 lottery is much more gratifying than simply buying the boring way. Plus, you get to complain about the box condition when it shows up! Win-win.

Word has leaked out from Lego that this set will be available in Northern Europe December 13th. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-02/for-lego-s-frozen-under-the-tree-try-santa-s-homeland.html Anyone have a private jet?

@exciter1 - Did anyone ever use this??? Just raised my prices to $178 after selling last 2 at $158 plus shipping.

Another thing to consider is that small and mid-sized investors must be stretched pretty thin at the moment. Tons of retiring sets and predictions of chaos, coupled with limited capital and space (small and mid-sized investors only) means it is tough to buy 10 or even 5 of every big set that is perhaps on the chopping block. I consider myself a solid mid-sized investor with a good amount of stock (and selling well this holiday season) and I am creatively trying to find space and funds to stock up. If this were out another year, I'd probably be able to get 5 or 6 more...and I'm sure plenty of people are in the same boat. Too much chaos! Not enough space/time/$$ That being said I'm grabbing two more AAs from TRU.ca with 20X airlmiles...if it comes back I can always return it. If it doesn't, I'll probably be quite happy with myself.

Why so hateful? I'm sure R2 prefers to be called "stocky", "robust", or even "thick". Technically he doesn't even walk. (granted, 85 people and their future grandchildren freaked out when you "rolled" him into the sunset a month or so ago) Nevermind that he keeps popping up like a Jawa in the canyons, just long enough to glimpse but not quite capture... On topic, I agree that AA was an EASY pick for EOL and I think there are still a couple sleepers left that are sailing under the radar while so much focus is on the obvious / popular sets. At any rate, in the immortal words of The Doors, "The time to hesitate is through."

New contest starting next week, change the ID and fill in the blank, justa_____?

It will come back next year but for now it's done ...those that waited are going to miss out big time...this was a very easy pick and even a rookie QFLL should not have missed it. Holding some back because I think it goes toward $200 or very close to it. And some said they didn't see flip potential Lol smh

Does appear to be the same canned post everytime a big set vanishes. But there is always someone new learning from it. Emazers is always trying to help us here, I applaud him.

I like it like I like my dad's old sayings...which he has been using for the past thirty years. Still, tough to argue...Batman sets do well, this set is cool...if it doesn't get a 4 year run like a couple of modulars we know, the returns should be solid.

Soooo 2 things to note from the winners list. The winner did not deliver on his great corn dog deal and the 3rd place finisher (my teammate) who was "Unavailable" for multiple parts of the trivia competition sure had enough time to post deals and place in this challenge!!! Hmmm, think Alpinemaps and myself will have to have an "internal investigation" into this Congratulations to the winners. It made for some interesting deals of the day too!

Oh yeah!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPLV7lGbmT4

Is there anyone else out there that hopes Global Warming destroys Elsa's Castle?

If you had any Walmart BF or CM deals unfulfilled, backordered, or cancelled please PM me. I am going to contact the author of the CNN article and inform them that the walmart numbers are fraudulent. Nothing will probably come of this, especially if no one responds, but we gotta try and do our part.

Ok, so the winners for the contest are FIRST PRIZE = $50 GIFT CARD TO AMAZON OR LEGO S@H EXCITER1 SECOND PRICE = $25 GIFT CARD TO AMAZON OR LEGO S@H JAISONLINE THIRD PRIZE = $10 GIFT CARD TO AMAZON OR LEGO S@H TREKGATE502 HONORABLE MENTION GOES TO: NO MORE MONKEYS DBRONCOBOY WINNERS PLEASE SEND ME A PM AND LET ME KNOW WHAT GIFT CARD YOU WOULD LIKE

Apparently MF has a new rectangular dish. You can see it in the photo you posted, it is massive. I hated that radar dish on the Kenner Falcon back in '79, damn thing would not stay attached!

The Horizon Express is based on the French TVG high speed train with the Orange colour scheme from the 80's. Lego have really nailed this design, it closely represents the real thing. In Europe this should be a hugely popular train, one which most city enthusiasts will not want to be without.

You would be better off getting 5 Batman Ayslums then 8 Joust.

Not if they offered a free one with every keychain bought.

The wall of text that will follow it's retirement will dwarf all other walls of text.

Smyths sell it for

That is Targeteese for 'we're smashing the bejesus out of your sets before we woefully under pack them and send them on their way to you.

I have bricklinked a 10179 and it is a beauty of a display piece. I love it and it was worth every penny spent. But do I believe Lego is going to come close to this again? I highly, highly doubt it. I mean, we are seeing pretty crazy prices for new sets now. Look at the sandcrawler. 300 for just over 3000 pieces, and it's a lot of smaller pieces. Even a rehash of 10179 would be in the upwards of $600. Do I believe they will remake it? Yes, I believe they will, but I think it's going to stay in the $300 range and be around 3k-3.5k total pieces. In my opinion it's a little underwhelming to get a smaller size set than the original. Of course we could all be wrong, but I don't know. Actually now that I think about it, there are those rumors of the Avengers Helicarrier that will be priced at $350. So who knows. Lego tends to throw odd curveballs from time to time.

You might want to up the listing. My brother sold his instantly at 125 plus shipping.

Mixels series 1

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, How are thy Indy sets so awesome.

The SaruMan.

The Fatman no longer walks alone. Batman has joined him. Who will join them?

This is actually the opposite of what TLG is doing. They tried diversifying their business 10-15 years ago and it didn't work out so well. Although they may own a minority interest in the theme parks, TLG largely divested their interest in them a while back and shed a number of other business units in order to focus on their core business. Given their success as of late, the reorg seems to have worked out pretty well.

Sold: (1) niob 6286 skull's eye schooner, roached box. Instructions there all catalogs and even the original poster was present. Plastic tray was also factory sealed. Heh bought everything for $200 in august just by asking the seller if he would accept an offer. Cha ching. Included were a couple of smaller new in bags vintage pirate sets for $610 shipped. (2) tie fighters $98/ea shipped (1) 10210 nearly complete with color swaps added cannons and added minifigures to replace originals that were mostly missing, no box, no instruction...$315 shipped. Finally seeing some cash flow...I broke down the actual profit for the misses and it was 135% of what I paid after all fees and shipping costs. No the tax man has not been included...yet. He will get his next spring.

I'm going to list some tomorrow, starting at $200.

LOL, we'll let it slide this time. If it would of been the first place prize there would of been some more heat about the matter. As it stands it looks like you just took "some" time away from the TEAM competition.

Santas Workshop on Amazon - 168.99 shipped

i took advice that others posted earlier and repriced all my stuff to include free shipping and saw an immediate jump in sales and also in overall profitability despite paying for shipping. sort of counterintuitive. i think the ebay shipping calculator is a PITA for some people that they just don't even bother. thanks for that advice. the #2 thing that has been working for me is shopping around for shipping. i am close to a fed ex distribution center and they are very competitive price wise and i think they give better service - haven't had any damaged deliveries with them and i've been using them only this month except for small packages where i go back to usps. by dropping my stuff at the larger regional distribution center, i'm getting my stuff delivered in 2 days or less and removing at least 2 handoff points where stuff gets thrown/dropped etc. i've had a few times where it got there overnight and i'm paying for standard slower shipping. buyers love that - its better than amazon.

So tiny, Maybe it's meant to be Ana's Summer or is it Winter cottage..if she is on a budget.

went back to snag some more Target minifigure sets - snagged 12. they had 20 left.

I will buy every The Mine you have for $40. Sure you don't mean The Cave?

It looks crappy to me. However, crappy looking gold is STILL gold :D

Of all the new sets just released, this one is my favorite. Like your video. Thanks.

Don't be surprised if they show up at Toys "R" Us though I'll be checking

Terrible set IMO... Don't get it.

TRU online only has 194 in stock..

Are you sure the boot sector is corrupted? I was getting MBR errors for a while, and tried rebuilding the boot sector, which didn't help. I popped open my case and found that the HD cable was loose. I replaced it with a new cable and everything works great now. Sometimes those random boot errors are due to cable issues. It's worth checking out.

Ok I can have one of these, an ewok village or a sandcrawler all at MSRP - 20%. Which two would you choose? I am going for Xwing and Sandcrawler as I can

did U try to pull the hd, put in an enclosure, connect to another PC and try reindexing and repair boot sector first?

I have never heard of this, saw a link on facebook and followed it for some reason. Thought it was going to be something incredibly dumb but ended up liking it. http://www.newsarama.com/22821-darth-vader-vs-batman-for-reals.html

That moment when you just happen to F5 a 10228 on Amazon...no scripts!

it aint a set but its LEGO ... hope to more than double than what i paid for this ...

From LEGO's POV, the $500 set did NOT work.. They had to discount them to get rid of them at the end. The fact that the market is paying 6x that now is irrelevant. As someone said, people are buying for scarcity now, Like the people that really wanted that 10,000 piece Sandcrawler, "i want, must have".. Would you pay $1100 for it? Well, no, I'd wait for a sale. Like sports cards, if Lego did a big Falcon again, everyone would grab one waiting for that day and boom, have another UCS B-wing on our hands.
