  1. Over the past couple of weeks, we have been working at really trying to make this feature worthwhile. We now have a server farm working on this 24/7 trying to keep the checks on most sets done in seconds and at the longest every 2 minutes. Some of you members have acute vision and have noticed that i have had the SETUP ALERTS button on the Stock Tracker pages. I am writing here to announce that you can sign up for SMS Text Alerts, Email Alerts or Site Alerts (on select areas). When you visit any of the three pages we have setup (US Retailer, Amazon and LEGO) you will see a red button to setup alerts. This is where you can select the alerts you would like to get. In order to receive alerts you need to be a member and logged into the site to set them up. Guests will not receive any alerts. Here is the form for selecting the alerts you want to receive: Select the type of alerts you would like to receive. Also select the stores you want to receive alerts from. There is no need to receive alerts from shops that will not even ship to you. We will give you the option to receive what and from where EMAIL: Emails will go to the email account you have registered with on Brickpicker ON SITE: You will see a full width green bar appear at the top of the page. This alert will happen within the forum areas as well as certain parts of the main site that I have been updating the template on. It will continue to make it's way through the site over time. Below is a screenshot of the Top Bar Alert. The yellow link will take you directly to the retailer. SMS ALERTS: First, let me say this disclaimer....(These are real text messages. If your phone plan is limited by a certain amount of text messages or text messages cost you money, Brickpicker will not be responsible for any costs that you incur from receiving these alerts). Ok, now that that is out of the way, lets move on. When you enter your phone number, you will need to verify that you sent it. You will receive a verification code and need to enter that into the form. You will not receive any alerts until your phone number is verified. Once everything is verified, you will be able to active alerts on sets that you want to receive. That's all there is to it. Get ready to be alerted!!!!

  4. A Willis Tower I had that was opened with sealed bags $52 20215 Master Builder Academy Invention Designer $145 ebay That invention designer surprised me like crazy when I looked it up. Very few sales. Wish I had stockpiled a lot more. Got it clearance from TRU, 3 total. Part of me wants to save one for the long haul but I'll probably sell all 3 if the keep moving at that price.

  5. In the back of the instructions for the Valentine's Day Dinner set, there was this picture showing the next possible small seasonal set of a diorama. No official name just yet same as the other for a few days but it appears to be another couple this time decorating the eggs for Easter. Just noticed this will have some dark red masonry bricks which is fantastic in my opinion.

  20. Just saying the silent ones around here have a plan ahead of time and do not to rely on sporadic inventory. There's really nothing advantageous about relying on inventory that may not really be there.

  26. I'm with jkaesler, however keep an eye on stock levels at Kmart, especially if your near a "country" one like I am/was. The price will continue to fall if no one are buying them to at least 60% off RRP. Personally, I've got a few that I'm watching and when they drop to 59/69 I'll pounce as it will compliment Emma's house, especially for new girls entering the market. Hope it makes sense, I'm slept deprived.

  27. No... you are right about members here... but ordinary people rather buy lego at ToysRus or other retailers than from someone they do not know on ebay. Am I talking sense or do I need to explain myself further?

  28. To me these two sets looks quite familiar each other (certainly because of the roof) and I understand that a guy who search for an "haunted gothic building" could hesitate between these two sets. Yeah yeah, these are not exactly the same, but again, IMHO it's in the same category... (fun gothic building) Some hours ago I showed the picture of the MM (mystery mansion) to a friend and he told me "cool, it will fit well with my monster fighters sets". He still doesn't have the VC, so... I guess that if on 2015/2016 he had to choose between the MM (at retail price) or the VC (50% more expensive for the least) he will choose the scooby set. Overall I don't say the VC will drop in value, but the MM might arm the CAGR of the VC (less demand). Maybe I'll have to change my plan and sell my VC with an Helm's deep set and write "castlevania" inside the title. (where is this picture again ? the one combining these two sets ? edit: ok here it is: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=89205 )

  30. Worth the read. And in case that disappears, here's the text: "I am selling my brand new sealed in a MINT condition box Lego Tumbler UCS 76023. This was the second one sold in the US and I have the receipt to prove it! Also the item was sold to me by Christian Bale himself, as he sometimes moonlights as a Lego employee in Dallas. I also have documented proof that when Heath Ledger passed, he reincarnated himself into my Joker lego straight up Chucky style from Child's Play. As I was a bit startled by that last fact, I immediately took my set (first class, and bought a seat for my box as well) to the Vatican where I had my UCS Tumbler blessed by Pope Francis. On our [uCS Tumbler and myself] way back to the states, our plane was struck by lightening when our speed was exactly 88 mph (yeah I know kinda slow for a plane, but it was during takeoff on the tarmac) I was immediately transported Into the future. After walking around for about 72 minutes I came upon a Lego store and saw the current date. I had been thrown into 2039. To my surprise the Lego store had my exact set on display in a glass case! It was selling for $4,000.00! I was spotted by some future citizens and they started bowing to me, as I was in possession of one of the most sought after items in their time. I was made their leader and shortly after deemed all legos illegal. Why? You ask? Well I did not want competition. My set Is now worth millions, but I have no use for the currency of my time, as it is all made from justin bieber hair. Yes I know I'm disgusted too. He is the emperor of the world and I will be killing myself soon. So, which brings me to the sale of my set! I want the last thing I do to be a good thing, so I want want to make you a future multimillionaire! All I want in return is my asking price and you are guaranteed to make your money back and more!!! I have found a wormhole into the past and can communicate with past me. What are you waiting for?! Secure your families future and purchase this Lego set! Text past me at"

  32. Back in late September, I placed an order at LEGO Shop at Home for a VW T1 that included the free promos at the time... chima polybag, classic space mini-fig, and the mini VW van polybag. Forgot to track it, and by the time I realized that it should be arriving soon, FedEx said it was 'delivered' 4 days prior. I had seen no sign of it, of course. A few calls to FedEx were not helpful. Our neighbors that share our duplex said they saw a package on the front porch the day FedEx claimed it was delivered, so I wrote it off as stolen. Even watched ebay and craigslist for a week afterwards thinking the T1 super/mini combo might show up. No sign of it. To add insult to injury, by the time I realized the package was missing all of the promos were out of stock. No chance to re-order. I was really looking forward to the mini VW van, too. Well, tonight it showed up. Four. Months. Later. :-) The woman who dropped it off said it was mis-delivered to her house a few doors down, and she forgot about it. I've never been so surprised and happy to see a box with the LBRI label!

  33. 20215 - I remember those being on 50% off clearance at TRU. I remember looking at them. I remember saying, "no, can't afford it today. Just don't know what it will do." *sigh* I have come a long way since those days.

  44. Sold a HH for $350 + shipping on ebay the other day. Put up another one at my next price step of $400 + shipping thinking it would take a few months, but someone took me up on it today. So we can now say HH has cracked $400 on ebay. Of course the buyer has zero feedback but they paid right away. And I'll do signature confirmation and insure the package to reduce the likelihood of any funny business.
