  1. I had to make a few changes to the way this alert system works because it it actually too fast with the updates and too efficient. It was costing us a small fortune to send out SMS messages for items that people were not really interested in buying. You will need to go in an check your items to make sure you are receiving alerts on the sets that you want. You will now have the opportunity to select either email and/or SMS for each sets for each store that you are interested in. There is also logic in there tracking purchases (mostly Amazon since they have the most changes). That will disable SMS alerts after a while if no purchases are made. You will still always get email alerts, but there is no need to bombard people with 100 SMS alerts if you are not ready to purchase that set at this time. Hopefully this will keep your phones from going crazy as well as keep you up to date when stock is available. It is also keeps the system Free for people to use.

  5. If owned, I would also get out w/in months since City is refreshed so often. In the last year, we have had 3 city explorer type sub-themes. Coast Guard, Arctic and the up-coming underwater sets. Demand will decrease sooner or later. 2x retail if awesome for a City set that can still be had in various parts of the world.

  21. I'm a lot less bullish on the ice breaker. I think the best set at retail is the mobile outpost, then the base camp, then the ice breaker. By best I just mean what you get vs playability vs likelihood kids are getting these as gifts. The helicarrier is a pretty crappy set IMO and the other two smalls are easy buys right now for parents and there is still lots of them on shelves. To me this means the base camp and ice breaker could be winners but the icebreaker has to reach pretty big numbers in Canada to turn a healthy profit. And with the new underwater explorer and ultra agent ships looking good I'm just not sure. If you get the base camp at 20% off, you'll be ok at $150+shipping (CDN) which isn't unreasonable.

  23. leave it on. If you don't and its lost for some reason or doesn't show delivered you will be out. Same rules apply, it just has to get to the KY address. To much mail has been "undelivered" of late. Think the excess they are receiving from everyone boycotting UPS / Fedex dimensional is over burdening them. Seen a ridiculously high amount of items not get there since mid January. Most of mine were delivered so I won the cases but last week had 2 to the same lady that were not delivered and had to refund.

  27. After a (comparative) lull in February, sales seem to be picking up again and MISB EBay prices are now upwards of 400 euros. There is definitely potential for this set to hit GG prices eventually.

  32. Orc I have had many-a-discussion with The Misses over exactly the point you are making regarding Mini-figs Versus Mixels. A mini-fig is four bucks, and is less than ten pieces. A mixel can typically have 70+ pieces and is only FIVE DOLLARS. From an otherwise fair and straight-forward company this is ridiculous. $2.50 would still be a significant profit-margin on a Series-based mini-fig... four dollars just looks like greed. It's our only major disappointment with TLG. I don't mind paying a premium for Licensed products- understanding how many channels of payment are required. But for a tiny portion of ABS, non-licensed plastic to cost four dollars actually does the company a disservice.

  36. IMO, the bulls will be running on R2 for a very- VERY long time. Virtually no chance of a re-hash for a little bot that is one of the most iconic characters of one of the most iconic films of all-time... and who's presence and popularity will only increase with the slew of SW films to come (in which- worth noting- He will be featured). I would hypothesize this set goes well into the $1,000+ range, and faster than many would imagine. Again, just IMO. Hold. Store, forget about, and hold. Even with the hoarding, long product run, and opportunity to acquire, the exceptional popularity and demand for this set will override the volume acquired by "folks like us". ________________ Additionally: Both WVM and the SW AT-AT are virtually extinct at the retail level... both, as of this post, are currently available at MRSP @ amazon US. Well worth a look.

  45. Respectfully, I think you are over-thinking it. Hits and eyeballs make forums more successful and increase the value of a forum. If the Macks ever sell this place, it will be more valuable with more users and posts, not everything condensed down as far as possible. My goal with the Travel thread (which I believe prompted this thread) was to find good deals and eventually get a meetup together and I think that it would have taken off. We have high net worth individuals who are good at spotting deals and I don't think they will think to post Travel deals individually in the "non-Lego Deals" section...too tedious to find the section, then create a thread. I've posted deals here and helped this forum for 2 years. That travel thread was gonna be gold. You are limiting the freedom of the members you count on to make this forum work.

  46. I have slowly been accumulating the rare pieces for a green grocer. Just ordered 35 sand green 8x1 off bricklink. A seller had a decent sale on them. Need 15 more and I'll have all the sand green pieces plus the 1x2x3 windows. That much has taken a year, rest should be easy.

  48. Check out this one, I think this guy does some amazing modifications to existing modulars: Sjaak Lego 10246 XL Mod: Full collection of his photos HERE. Our family is working on the DO now, the detail is amazing. We primarily display our modulars but damn, building this thing is incredible. For us, the best part is the building and this is the most fun we have had building a modular yet. Every modular just gets more and more detailed and the building techniques keep getting better. Can't wait for 2016..

  49. Around here at least this set has been impossible to find since before Christmas. It was in the top 20 on Amazon's best sellers list for a while. I personally think it is a very unique set and once it is gone I don't think there will be anything similar to replace it for a long while. Currently it can only be found at Amazon and LEGO LEGO Shop at Home I believe. It is $85 at amazon.co.uk. What does everyone think about this set?
