I JUST BOUGHT THE MILLENNIUM FALCON 10179 set!!!

The doctor I grew up with (4th) and who I always picture when the show is mentioned even after watching many of the later incarnations. Something about that hippie scarf.............lol

It must be Cyber Monday. I have been getting PayPal notifications all day long. Even my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle sets are selling! COWABUNGA, DUDE!

You're super lucky. That's one of the ancient mysterious relics from Lego Movie 2 The Goom Of Hub Ba Bub Ba

About 15 people lined up there just to buy Dr Who. They expect to run out in a day or two but also expect more in. Still had gbh too.

Cladner, please give exciter1 the toothbursh. It's his turn to clean the toilet now.

Saves me from buying that horrible ship to get a kylo mini fig.

I'm convinced it's not a real store. Just a tall tale told by central time-zoners to make us coastals feel bad about our geography. As if having the best out-going shipping rates wasn't enough, they also need a Lego Nirvana where coupons stack endlessly and clearance items are 40 deep in pristine condition post EOL. Sigh. #Jealous

4x GBH for $49 shipped Sold my last City Logging Truck for $85 shipped at $11 buy in. I find is amusing that I made more profit on that one than what I'm expecting for one of my PS three years from now.

I think I found your problem here, no one's going to pay €200 for the Crawler, a zero too many there

So we should avoid "The Force Awakens" sets?

I hope you used protective gloves when handling those toxic Movie sets!

Just adding this to the archive: Look at what I received with my S@H order. I hope this accidentally fell out of someone's mouth when this was being packed up. This is a new one for me, unbelievable.

No doubt about that, but this set is exactly on point in trying to appeal to the Doctor Who fan. If you asked a Doctor Who fan what they would want in a set, this has it. So Lego didn't miss appealing to the target audience, now the question is how big that audience is. I'll be getting some for a Christmas flip. And a report of 15 people lined up to buy it on release day? How many were lined up to buy the Mystery Machine?

My 15% coupon worked with Dr. Who this morning. No TRU markup either, $59.99 before coupon. I don't see this one lasting until TRUTH.

The SC is a great set! I'v got one here on display at work and enjoy playing around with it, its very versatile. I love how you can box it up so it's all closed and can be driven around or open the marketplace and start selling droids to the local farmers from Tatooine. I also have one for the personal collection and will build it up when I get tired of the Slave I and MKII. This one won't be around for too long. It's a fantastic set with 3000+ pieces and somehow it doesn't get the attention it deserves. However things will change once it disappears! It's almost the same piece count as 10221, but £100 less...so it's quite a bargain.

That single set has cost me more than I otherwise buy in like a year at LEGO Shop at Home. And that with a price tag of $0. And I will have to keep one or have a sulking wife: no question what to choose there. Hopefully they make it stop soon, I cannot take any more.

Is this dropping at midnight or in the morning? I cannot express how excited I am for this set.

Here is where the Maz Kanata minifigure came from apparently. Interesting seeing a Star Wars set with a couple play features reminiscent of Minecraft and that hanging banner looks like an uncooked slab of bacon. Haha.

the voices in his head...

When I do that they only ask if I am selling Girl Scout cookies, and ask that I "move away from the building".

The little super man duplo set $21, awkward size just over 1lb, so $6 shipping, but buy in was $5 still 200% on....duplo in less than a year

I wouldn't be that cynical on the Pet Shop. I think you will be pleasantly surprised when it goes. Gandalf Arrives has to be one of the best investment winners of the last 2 years. Its at least top 10.

I sold through all of my Stagecoaches at $50 each and made a good profit. I picked up 20 or so at KMart for $11-$13 each. Still kicking myself for leaving behind the 20 or so Gandalf Arrives at $6 each. I think I bought 3.

Probably the inverse, seriously, and also doesn't take into account the difference between casual viewership and engaged fandom.

70010 Chima Lion Chi Temple (NISB) for 100 euro.

Decorating xmas tree poly $21 shipped on the bay 500 piece WM box $49 shipped.

- 2506 Ninjago Skull Truck for 50 euro cash. - 70803 The Movie Cloud Cuckoo's Palace for 15 euro cash. - 70807 The Movie Metalbeard's Duel for 25 euro cash.

Although I far surpassed my Lego budget, I bought one Red5 and an AT AT, plus got 2 free GBHs

It must have blended in with the blue on the packaging and the warehouse worker couldn't find it, if he/she even bothered to look for it. I did have a half empty packet of soy sauce plastered to the side of my UPS package one time. Fortunately the contents didn't get on the inside, but I think my driver had lunch on the go and used my box as a table.

I've sold a few of the Lightning Lads on BL for $20 so far, mostly to European buyers.

I really don't want to bring any attention to my orders. Believe me, I want to. One consolation, the gum was on top and not between two boxes.

Hands up here to being a old DW fan here. And trust me, there are people who live and breath DW much more than me. A friend got us tickets to the recent DW Festival in London held by the BBC. As he got the expensive VIP tickets we got a goody bag, containing a T-SHirt, handbook, and a few other goodies. We were given a page of the script from episode one of the current series. Just a sheet of A4. I sold 2 of these for £4 each. I sold the T-Shirt for £20. Hopefully the handbook will go for £30. I grabbed a load of programs, I have those listed for £4 each. I profess to know nothing about DC, Chima, Ninjago etc A little about Star Wars, ie I know the films, hence I tend to steer clear of those sets. But this, I know it will do good. It has a worldwide audience. Its the first set lego have produced. Its them testing the waters. If it sells well, we ma get a eitire theme.

I didn't try. I personally don't care to stack multiple coupons on a single item.

I pretty much shared this experience as a kid. Although, I am willing to give the modern version a shot, just haven't made time for it yet.

All I remember when I was a kid was wanting to turn the station when this came on. No offense but zero for me.

These are starting to show up at more stores around here according to the stock tracker. They are probably in the back waiting to be put out when the promo starts.

AT-AT sold out at amazon today, so let the fun begin on this one. It's also sold out online at all the other big retailers, including TRU.

The Sitdown by Dave Kaleta

Sorry, didn't read them. Yes, it was easy, the answer is in the picture.

The thing to keep in mind is that part of the reason why Lego is valuable is that it's difficult to keep all the pieces together, especially when kids play with them. It's a challenge and here's what I've come up with... - Once a set is done being played with, we bag up all the pieces, instructions, comic, etc and put it back in the box. If there's any missing pieces, I'll write it down on a sticky note and put it in the bag. I also have a note on my phone that has a list of missing pieces for sets, that way if I find a piece I can reference the note. - Buy some sets that are really fun, but don't have collectors value. Early this year, the Galaxy Squad stuff was on such clearance at TRU it was almost like getting them for free. And surprisingly, they were some excellent builds. Tons of fun, and if we lose some pieces, no big deal. I'm hoping next year's January super clearance will be the Ultra Agents sets. - I tell my son that there are some sets for looking at, others for playing with. The Ultra Agents Ocean HQ is for playing with, the Sea Cow is for looking at. Some sets are just better for playing with, and hold up better for play. As awesome as the Sea Cow is, it's hard to move without some part coming off. On the other hand, other than the ladders in the back, the Ocean HQ holds up better for play. But, the Gatling dot guns are a parent's nightmare. Some of the Power Miners sets are surprisingly resilient too. - For many play sets like the Super Heroes series, much of the value is in the minifigs. I don't have any guilt about stashing them away, and out of his and his friend's hands. I have a bin full of minifig pieces that they could build any number of characters that function, but not built to spec. They can play with those, not Alfred or the Chrome Stormtrooper. - I strongly suggest sorting by shape, not by color. It's much easier to spot red in a sea of 2x4s, than it is to find a 2x4 in a sea of red. Color doesn't affect form or function as much as shape does, especially if the brick you replace it with is hidden. Also, if you sort solely by color, the small pieces will fall to the bottom and will be difficult to find. Those are the things that will kill you on a rebuild. Once you get the sorting done, the rebuilding is so much easier and takes less time. My elderly, retired mother helped me sort a ton. I told her that it would help her to ward of Alzheimer's. I told her she should suggest it to her friends by telling them how much sharper she is from sorting Lego, but she just rolls her eyes. - Sometimes it's good to order spare parts when they are cheap. For example, sails. I bought a spare set of sails for Destiny's bounty for a little over a buck. Well worth it to save the value of a set that might be worth alot.

I placed my order for 2. will be stopping in the store tomorrow. I need one tomorrow. Even if it will be my lunch break to get it. There will be a review forthcoming.

use those calls wisely, if i remember correctly, that you only have limit of 3(three) replacement or similar calls. after that they will just ban you or don't replace anything for you. other BP'ers can verify on this though.

sigh. that sounds awesome. i'm still cleaning the toilet with a toothbrush now that the Target order from last tuesday arrived before i could intercept. time to go to sleep so i can get up early and pack. ebay is finally waking up for my sub$100 clearance junk. even lite brixTM (ick) are selling for 4x what i paid for them at the grocery store clearance. 2 out of 3 PS and PR (each shipped 3 per box in 2 separate boxes despite one order) were surprisingly mint and PS not too recent 37R and 40R5 so September and October - is it DECEMBER YET??? long term ebay is in big trouble because of amazon . i wish i could find a way to do a 20 year short on ebay.

First impressions: Box is beautiful. This is a beast. It's almost the exact size of Brainiac Attack, but is easily twice as heavy.

You might have received my battery box.

Agents Ocean HQ for $119 + $20 shipping. This one might be a 'hidden gem'. I got two of them at TRU for $50 last weekend. Not sure what sort of long term hold the set would be, but I'd say it's flip worthy if your buy in was $50. I was shocked to see that 2-3 of these per day were selling at $140, right after the theme was 30% off all weekend at TRU. Nice!

3 fusion sets bundled together sold for $50 plus shipping, bought it for $15 mini model build gingerbread house 40105 from last years December promo sold for $15 plus shipping, I bought it for $4-$5

Yes, please! For both the new TRU coupon, and Doctor Who
