If you bought 857 of them, it sure could feel like it.

When did you start wearing glasses ?

Someone's going to be busy cleaning up this thread later.

Ok. I tried tonight. Here's the catch. You can have 20% and 15% on the same transaction but not the same item. BUT you can NOT stack the $xx of $xx coupon to the same transaction. So the best bet will be 2 legos and use 20% and 15% in 1 transaction. I can use the $15 off $100 on Dimensions pack, but no other coupons. and yes, I buy 12 3-CPO and get 1 FREE. I tried use the $15 off $100 even after my discounted lego (1 with 20% and 1 with 15%) are over $100, the system will throw you an error saying no enough amount. I tired used the $5 off $25 even after my discounted lego (1 with 20% and 1 with 15%) are over $25, the system flag the coupon as OFFLINE, I have no idea what that means. In Oct, we can have $5 of $25, 20% and 20% on the same transaction, but in Nov, that's the case anymore. It still can be done, but need manager override, so I tell them remove the $xx off $xx coupon, and everything works. Hope it helps.

Don't mind at all. I purchased lot from a fellow Brickpicker back in February/March. Consisted of 250+ lbs. He had done some initial sorting, but finishing that and washing all the parts took about a month. I have been ordering parts as I go, inventorying about a dozen sets or so going by theme.(Had over 100 sets in it from 2005-2009 timeframe) Overall, I'm sure I've made minimum wage due to that hours put in sorting, but was able to keep some really cool sets like an Emerald Night, Motorized AT/AT, 7993 Service Station I've wanted for a long time, random figures, etc. etc. Between what I kept and sold/end up selling(have about a dozen left), I'll make a few thousand profit on a few thousand investment. Was hoping to double my money and I'll be darn close to doing it. This takes into account parts ordered, but not time or anything as I don't lose normal income due to working on this. I've kept a spreadsheet just for this lot to see how it goes. I'll also be taking a long break from doing this again as well.

I would imagine the Campervan will most likely never get to the lofty heights of the Beetle for value, but it's not about making 500-600% ROI. It's about knowing that in the T1 Campervan you're investing in a set that should have no problem doubling it's price within a year or two. eBay sales sit around 80 - 120% of the retail price, a strong indication that despite being readily available in stores people are happy to pay a premium for this set. The numbers sold on eBay are impressive. The EU stock and sales figures for TLG (according to EU Brickset figures) were some of the best for any Creator set. The demand is there for a Lego Campervan, and unless they remake it once it retires it will always be desirable and garner a premium. That in my book is very cool.

I have a funny story about a husband and wife cosplay duo at CVII. Her husband was dressed up as Slave Leia and she was an Admiral or something. I took their pic and laughed, told the guy he had cojones and went on. Later in the day I saw a red Stormtrooper or something, stopped for a pic and he said "Hey man, you took my picture earlier!" I did? "Yes, the dude dressed up as Slave Leia." Doh!

I swear I recognize that Princess Leia. Scary. Makes you wonder what the view from the back is like in a I-want-to-throw-up kind of way. ;)

I'm old school with Dark Forces....or even older school with Empire Strikes Back on Atari 2600.

He's only BTP when it comes to the TP... LEGO doesn't float his boat like a wall of TP

Someone tried stashing a couple behind the city advents at my TRU. I saved them.

I tried my best here. I am NOT a PS expert. I used Paint!

That means cancelling all the Porsche Speed Champions sets too, then. Ain´t gonna happen. Beware of any car that declares 1 under the emissions tax threshold - only a German would fake things with such precision.

In hand and already listed on eBay as RARE LIMTED First Edition for $99.97

Leia's poster looks like CSI starring Carrie Fisher

^ Lol at the woman in the grey dress. And ex1 that dude was married (per wedding ring). I wonder what his wife thought about the costume

you know he's busy installing that setup as we speak... I have 2 walls, and I can wipe from both sides of the bowl, so this setup is going in on each side.

+1 to Ban Ed Mack!!!

Since the owner started this one with the Battlefront link (and everyone is enjoying it) - I would say that you might be overruled. It will likely die out soon enough. If not, then it should be moved (but I say give it some time). Well aware... That's why I said deeper. If it's not ex1 derailing a thread it's Ed Mack! BTW I'm old school (or just old) my fav was the original X-Wing and Tie Fighter games that ran on my old 386-40.

It changed my whole look.

Eis Pirat by Philip Stark

I still have a copy of ESB and ROTJ for 2600 in the box w/ instructions.

I still play SW BF2 from time to time if I feel like destroying a bunch of rebel scums. I use Imperial Pilot to fly a TIE, sneak in to the rebels' main ship, steal an A-Wing, and use the A-Wing to destroy as many X-Wings & Y-Wings as I can

X-Wing on PC is my all time favorite.

Sold a 9474 Helm's Deep sealed bags no box on Brick Classifieds for $150. My first sale on BC. Thanks to the Macks!

Congrats. We all know how much work it was just to get those 100.

Agree. After the vignettes, they're going to have a hard time matching, much less surpassing those.

We Brickpickers care deeply about the environment, especially when it's related to our hoarded beloved Lego vehicle.

I do not see why VW would be the only one in the carworld who has cheated with something. Many other marks also did it with the fuel consumption stats. What is going on with VW is just an example of economic warfare.

I didnt want to do that but now I had to: I really cant understand that everyone is so hard on VW. Yes they messed up, they lied, in terms of the stock exchange, I totally get that. Everyone now is an enviromentalist as it seems...or is it just because its about a stoopid car? What is about Tepco or BP or Monsanto or Nestle or Disney or Foxconn? the list goes on and on. and to be honest the co2 footprint of our beloved toy is not the best to have..

If stupid silly Jar Jar appears in TFA , it better be this way or I'm walking out. How great would it be for Ren to take out Jar Jar this way

You mean he will use trickery to get voted from senator to Grand Chancellor by way of overcomplicated plan involving a force sensitive boy and a queen in Kabuki costume ? Haven't we seen that movie before?

That's one of the better modular mocs I've seen here! I like the roof technique!

My lego B&M still had an ample supply. Combined with a few 40123, 40124, and 40125 for another train (which they said they're almost out of)

Oh yeah that's where I heard it from

I'm with you there that game was amazing!

I still prefer Rogue Squadron on the GameCube.

Is that an above ground swimming pool? cool...

Limits work best applied to Brick Bounties, Benny´s Spaceship, SW Ep 1-3 stuff and Exo Suit.
