  2. A blurry image (of course) for the exclusive set to be given at this year's Star Wars Celebration event next weekend in Anaheim. It appears to have a little diorama of Luke's home on Tatooine, a (loosely) Microfighters-esque sandcrawler, C-3PO (I would guess the one from the UCS Sandcrawler), and a micro landspeeder with some characters.

  6. I think it's 1 air mile for every $20 spent but totals over a month. So 95 air miles is $1900. (It might be $15 per). If you stack with a good credit card like the BMO World Elite that gives you an air mile for every $10 then its approx $633 for the $10 coupon. What you really need to do is take advantage of air miles grocery offers... Not sure what you have out east but where I am there are frequently air miles specials that can earn you 500 air miles after spending around $200. Add the air miles from using an appropriate CC and you're getting about $55 back in coupons. It's not unusual for us to get 1000 miles in a month and I think last year we earned 21,000 miles. We however still use air miles for flights. :)

  9. I was waiting for that remark. Ha. Ah, looks like I'll have yet another project on my hands. That reminds me, are there instructions for the older microbuilds of JEK-14's Starfighter, Bag End, or Rocket's Warbird? Let me guess, I just gave myself more work didn't I? Dang it.

  14. Correct, the base value of an airmile is $20. Hardly worth it if you only collect airmiles at the low basic rate. The key is to sniff out airmiles deals periodically advertised by airmiles sponsors to really hoard the miles. I do well just maximizing airmiles specials at the grocery stores (Safeway and Sobeys out west) and gas at Shell. Even TRU has airmiles specials here and there. That's my general advise to everyone with airmiles but gregpj has pretty much reinforced what is already good to know. ;)

  17. Yea I'm relatively new, I thought maybe my thinking was flawed and it was very plausible that it would go from OOS limit 5 to sold out. I went ahead and ordered 2!

  22. I sold it on EBay! I was surprised myself. I raised my prices, as I'm on a fishing trip and did not want to encourage buyers while I am gone. In the listing, I wrote about being a Lego fan and priding myself on my bulletproof packaging. Who knows if that separated me from the ton of these listed on EBay for under $20.

  24. This will be at least $50 but I wouldn't be surprised if it's $60-75. And if it's anything like the SDCC/NYCC exclusives there will only be about 250 per day and they will go quick.

  25. Started looking around at what's out there. The best thing I could find were both IKEA solutions. Either a series of LACK coffee tables (about $80 / 4x8 space) or a build-your-own table using: 1x http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00251135/ 4x http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/90217972/ I like the table better because it will be higher. Each one is about 2x4 and runs $20 a table, so about the same price as 8 LACKs. The other option seems to be plywood and folding legs, which runs about 70$ a table and requires sanding, sealing, and painting. For $10 I'll go the IKEA route. I think I will start with 4 tables and expand from there. I plan to use hook hasps underneath to hold the tables together but allow them to come apart if needed. 3.50 each. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-3-4-in-x-1-1-8-in-Satin-Nickel-Hook-and-Staple-19764/204485787 So, has anyone else played with this idea? What did you find?

  34. 4x Fairground Mixer for $509.30 all-in. $127.32/ea shipped/taxed. I think this set will be helped by the upcoming Ferris Wheel, this is my first inventory acquisition of the mixer, and I had a discount coupon to use to acquire it.

  35. Our kids really like the Mixer set for exactly that reason... being portable they constantly load and unload the trucks. Frankly, for them it's more fun than pretending to hit the strong man bell attraction. They do like the dunk tank though. I just hope we don't get something like this...

  36. I just went to pick up my son returning from his Easter camp with the boy scouts. Started talking to another dad about Lego while waiting for our kids. His son was going to buy the High-speed train and he asked if I knew where he could get it the cheapest. So I sold him one of mine for

  41. Birds 2.0 by Poulsom has just been introduced at Lego Ideas. It goes without saying, a 2.0 version of this set will cause the original to skyrocket in value. Hence, I urge your support for this new version. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/98737

  42. Furthering our discussion. Video Game character on random card = $17 Same exact Video Game character, on Original Trilogy packaging = $40 The gap used to be even crazier. like 9 bucks to 60 I suspect sand from the set of the film would sell for 49.99 if packaged on a vintage card.

  43. I recalled someone yesterday was worried about Target might ship the marbles with the LEGO sets so he/she was doing store pick-up. Anyway, Target.com is 'smart' enough this time to ship them separately. just FYI

  45. Always been a fan of classic Space; my first set was a little gray spaceship in Christmas '86. I was parting out a Joker's Steamroller last week, and when I got to the Batwing/Jet, and for two or three seconds I could've sworn I was 9 years old again and breaking open bags for my Blacktron Renegade. It was a strange rush of memories, but a nice feeling nonetheless.

  46. This is getting kind of sick. Many of you go and clean out stores without thinking twice about what you're doing, but when you're on the outside looking in, you complain. Enough is never enough, and when you have it all, you still want more. Instead of thinking of others, you only think about yourselves. It seems like you get the thought in your heads that only resellers are buying LEGO or looking for the next deal, and 'if I don't buy all of them, another reseller will!'. Exercise some restraint and leave some for others. You don't need everything. Some non-resellers are actually looking to purchase a set when a sale arises. I'm all for getting a deal on LEGO, but at the same time, I know I'm not the only person who should benefit.
