X-Men vs Sentinel that someone tried to hide at some Walmart... Not the best looking box, but for $7 who cares

A worthless pile of plastic? It's a Star Wars Millennium Falcon, not a Walmart discount Ninjago set. It will be just fine.

​I never pay for shipping I signed up for a trial max a couple of years ago and it has been extended repeatedly. Kmart had a sale recently. We just got a few things.

​why would my conscience be bothered? i put the product out there at a market price, provide best possible customer service and on top of that get dinged 15%+shipping for every item. if someone doesnt like the price im not twisting anyone's arm to buy it. not one of my customers ever contacted me because they were "tricked" and left me a review stating they got ripped off. amazon = reputable dept store, ebay = flee market full of thieves. there is your price difference.

I recently inquired about why my country flag wasn't showing up under my user ID on posts. To solve this Jeff suggested that I log out of the forum and log back in again. This solved my issue and I'd suggest it to all members so we can keep track (visually) as to what is happening where with sales, findings, etc etc.

$270 Helicarrier, thanks AWD.

​I noticed the cool LOTR keychain selection. I was tempted to pick-up some, but I passed. Let's just call it the "when I snuck away to use the restroom, the wife didn't realize I visited the clearance store as well". I didn't have the gumption to visit there again to pick-up a few, with a big dark cloud looming and it was close to closing time.

​It's also good to know renal function is golden in the sunshine state.

I picked these two up today... Just jonzin to build some new Legos. I love the ghostbusters Ecto 1 it was a fun build...

nice. can't believe you left out this epic image. (here)

​I would use clear RTV Silicon II. It will hold the pieces quite well, but you will be able to peel it off in the future.

Yeah, thank you everyone that has bought from me. Everything went very fast. If there is anything left that you are interested in, please let me know and we can work something out.

I personally think stupid comments are site killers not over moderation. Yes I said that comment was stupid......well because it was.

My bad, I'll commit hari kari for this mistake.

Oh that looks super cool. I need a Rent-A-Kid.

​Judging by the amount of crushed boxes in that pic a lot of shower curtains.

I love Kmart I shop with them all the time.

​ One thing i'll say about Mines of Moria and Attack on Weathertop. They're GREAT sets for Game of Thrones custom figures. Be sure to pick up an attack of the wargs for Direwolves too That being said, I have faith in these sets, but maybe not by Christmas. They need to REALLY flush their way out of all retail markets (like the one you've found) before they creep up. Once they're REALLY gone, i see them doubling from the levels we're out now. Who knows how long that will take though?

​I really wish we'd see more reports on here, especially for folks who know they won't return to their visited locales anytime soon. There's nothing wrong with providing availability reports.

​I sold one to a grandma (well, convinced her to buy one at Target today). She was in the LEGO aisle with her grandsons, and one of them kept going on about how it was "rare". I just said "It is a Target exclusive," and we started a five minute conversation about the value of LEGO. She wouldn't let go of the set, saying, "I wonder if they'll even restock it." I think someone just found a new retirement job.

​No, I should add that, no Tower Bridges in sight.

Okay, my personal opinion. The problem is that the AB franchise is pretty much having its least breaths. 3 years ago this would have been a hit. However Rovio revenues are plummeting and it has about zero media presence right now. AB is just so last year. If the movie can gather interest AND is good, then these might do well. Otherwise Lone Ranger.

Wasn't there a whole movie about this? UNLEASH THE KRAGLE!

Received 15 R2D2 from our one of forum members. Well packed and comes in great condition. I even didn't pull them out but directly throw the whole boxes to my storage. I won't meet them again until Christmas season.

Anyone who pays that much for that lot is not using their money wisely.

​I say this every time I buy a TRU GC.

​No. Basically you are paying the ebay rate after fees (not counting shipping and fees) and many of these sets are not going to realize significant growth. 33,500*(1-.129)=$29,178 Edit to clarify - yes, many sets will achieve growth but some are so new that you could buy them from other sources and receive discounts or rebates, etc.

Lol. Polys and big sets are different categories

People will be selling them for that price soon when the new one comes out. Ok, seriously, what I sometimes do with freebies and competition wins is bundle them with the toxic stuff I have (Lone Ranger, City,SW 1-3) then it feels like I actually turned a profit on them!

Kmart should do the right thing and just close down. Stop fleecing the shareholders $. Sears tried to add some life into them, but that's like the blind leading the blind.

Canonikon is a concatenation of two of the most famous camera brands ever. Considering the world has 7 billion people I can see someone else having that name online. Much stranger coincidences happen every day in the world.

I thought they did everything bigger in Texas ? No ? When it comes to what you paid it appears smaller.

​Just grab one of those my size elsa dolls and put her in a stroller. You'll get some looks, but honestly who's gonna say no to a guy with a doll in a stroller with a gun? Oh right, bring a gun too.

I finally found some Jurassic World polybags. Grabbed a handful and will either flip or start my dinosaur army haha.

You could have the same argument with Bricklink vs Ebay. People shop on site that they are comfortable with and know about. People are willing to pay more for peace of mind even if they know there are cheaper alternative. For a fact, some lego on Bricklink is much cheaper than ebay and amazon but I doubt most ordinary folks will actually purchase from bricklink even if they knew about it.

​not sure where you got confused. if the public shuns the brand, it includes all sets, however you wanted a falcon discussion here, hence frivolous references to 7965. granted certain highly sought after sets will be the exception, but 7965 is not one of them.

​Thanks. It's pretty much the 2015 Polybag Setlist from Brickset, with some additions to the list based on feedback here. I know my local TRU seems to have an endless supply of pumpkins. I'm fairly certain I saw it there on my last visit. I'll be back on Thursday for TRUTH....I'll double check at that point.

​Why do I have the feeling we will be having the same discussion about death stars here in 6 months or so lol.

​ Thanks. That was a great place to start. It doesn't have everything, nor is it up to date on everything, but it was a great starting point. I've been trying to figure out the best format for this. I think what I will do is maintain a spreadsheet of all the none polybags for the year, and then post a monthly update. I will need to get input from everyone throughout the month as to what polybags you're seeing - this table is only as good as the input it gets. But with any luck, we'll be able to find polys that we want easier. Here's the list as it stands now. Please continue to help me out.

Honestly, I'm not expecting much...sort of like the minecraft sets being "cool" because it's a hot toy...but really the sets themselves aren't anything special...

Agreed. The Joker Bumper Car just hasn't hit anywhere in any capacity yet. I think you are right - it might be tied to Jokerland's release.

​Europeans (like me) can skip it right away. No need to stock up any for "if it takes off" - in Europe it simply won't. And even for the US it's hard to imagine. Imo this has written a big "100% play set" investor's warning all over it, so don't be too surprised if it turns out to be a ROI disappointment in a few years. As long as it's not a UCS Death Star I would avoid play set-style things like this here Jokerland almost any time. Diversification is a good thing, of course. But that does not mean diversifying into ANY set you come across. I'd rather diversify into Jurassic World Indominus Rex instead for about the same money.

You mean there's other polybags out there other than Joker Bumper cars??

guys, another rule for investors .... dont let your your personal feelings of a set shadow its investment potential. dont need to buy 40 of these ... add 5 to your stock to diversify it ... if it tanks, youve got only 5 to deal with ... if it flys, then youll wish you had more ...

Location of your trash can please?

​The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing us the SSD being in the catalog meant it would stick around for at least a few more months.

This is still a great set for the long haul. I think growth will pick up a bit once the license is done and gone frankly. Just look at the craziness with Harry Potter prices now that it is gone. I think Potter is broader appeal and more popular, but still think LOTR/Hobbit will pick up once they are completely gone (if that happens as previously discussed)

New Sealed box in good condition $250 for both..... I guess waiting 2 years for lego to gain value is not for everyone.....

Found a couple of old sets in 2 different TRU today: 4x 21008 Architecture - Burj Khalifa 2x 4430 City - Fire Transport Hope to find some R2D2 next!

Vancouver: My LEGO store sold out of ~50 ferris wheels on day 1. And I found tons of those dino polys at TRU a week ago.
