TRUTH - 75105 Millennium Falcon $9 after coupon and rewards.

Yeah, it is a deal. Since Barnes and Noble coupons don't really work anymore, it is hard to find good Architecture deals. Architecture New York City on Amazon $46.99 (22% off) http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Architecture-York-City-21028/dp/B017B19DOY/

My very first, albeit tiny sale: 2 x Arctic Snowmobile 60032 (Buy-In: $5.24 ea): $30.68 - Shipping ($13.06) - PayPal ($1.19) - BL ($0.60) = $5.35. My sell price was $10 ea, but like a n00b, I underestimated the cost of shipping when I prepared my invoice. But, I'll take that $5.35 straight to the bank!

20% off Lego LEGO Shop at Home: 41068 http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Arendelle-Castle-Celebration-41068?fromListing=listing 41066 http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Anna-Kristoff-s-Sleigh-Adventure-41066?fromListing=listing

Could be worse, we could get this...

Weak.. Need to keep stirring the pot. What he meant to say is u can get better deal with target eBay gc transferred into Tru gc from gc mall using 8% back ( who cares if it is targeted ). Then going to Tru and price adjusting ( not matching , huge difference people ) a screen shot of the eBay seller and yes they take eBay 3p because if they don't I'll make sure they do . Throw in there 8% rewards back, 20% off coupon and a chima freebie . Less than 100$ . Thanks op

Round here people need constant good deals otherwise they'll start bickering debating.

And the second we do that, we will have people say that they hate having to monitor two different threads for discounts. Just blow past those posts if they are not good for you. As others have stated, 10% here, or 20% there adds up towards making a good deal. It's worked for me plenty of times.

The 'it doesn't apply to me, so why would anyone want it?' remark, whether intentional or not, is irritating. Quick synopsis: Some people like to build their Lego as well as sell it. This deal allowed a person to build a tie at $159 shipped to you door or a buyer can use your method and buy a tie at $169 and pay up to 9.5% tax depending on your jurisdiction and pay an extra $26. Why not just throw the $25 out the window instead

Just built 75060 slave 1, amazing! Great design! Love it very much!

If they buyer fails to respond, you should definitely go ahead and authorize the return. Unfortunately Amazon allows buyers to return anything for any reason within 30 days of them receiving their purchase. They have already expressed they want to return b/c the set is to difficult for them. You authorizing the return should not be dependent upon whether or not you hear back from the buyer. Most buyers do not respond back to messages. Authorize the return and explain that once you receive the item back, they will either be 1) refunded in full if returned in brand new, sealed condition minus the shipping costs both ways since they are returning due to no fault of yours or 2) refunded minus up to a 50% restocking fee if returned in opened, used condition minus shipping costs both ways since they are returning due to no fault of yours. If you do not authorize the return, later the buyer could file an A-to-Z claim with Amazon. Amazon would then more than likely refund the buyer and allow them to keep the set since you did not authorize the return as you are required to per their policy. Make them return the set if they want a refund. They may even decide to not return the set since they are subject to paying the shipping and a restocking fee if they opened the set. If they return it back open/used, you are allowed to keep up to 50% as a restocking fee and they must pay for return shipping while you also deduct the original shipping fee if they paid shipping. ***Also note, earlier this year Amazon changed their A-to-Z policy. If the seller wins the claim and the buyer is denied, it no longer counts against your metrics.***

In for 3

Craigslist, $50 yo. The guy had a trunk full.

AT-AT was marked 'sold out'. Imperial Star Destroyer had indeed already retired before (end of 2015). Here you'll find a list of, mostly daily, Star Wars set availability updates during the last two months.

Seriously, if you don't want in on these deals don't bother to read the thread. Gift card deals are some of the best ways to get discounted LEGO in this market. If you have better deals, go ahead and post them. We'd love to see what you have to share with the community. I rarely find deals so I'm very grateful when others share, especially when it comes to gift cards.

I agree... I am very confident with MKII and Arocs for long term (2 yrs + after EOL). So 2 years from now for MKII and maybe 3.5 years for Arocs. Definitely not ¨for the faint of heart. Don`t really see it for the volvo though... But I didn`t write the book on lego investing

The Arocs set has the new pneumatics which should be around for a while... The trick with Technic is to be patient.. even more than regular LEGO. Quick flipping Technic is not for the faint of heart, but long term the Aroc, MKII, Volvo and a few others are really good sets that should do OK.

If any of you live near Pleasanton,Ca there is a Lego store there that still has Exo suits for 24.99 on clearance.

LEGO Dimensions Midway Arcade Level Pack currently at 14.98 at Shop at Home. Seems they have it priced as a team back right now. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Midway-Arcade-Level-Pack-71235?fromListing=listing

After TRUTH, GC, Rewards magic after tax... 2x 21301 $35 1x 42008 $49 1x BSSS $50 1x kwik e mart $158 1x 76052 batcave $203 1x 10246 detective office $131

Every time I order an exclusive from LEGO Shop at Home, the item looks like someone held it up in the air as high as they could before dropping it in one corner since the shipping box is immaculate. Before sealing the box they lift the exclusive up and slide the promo underneath for a forever imprint...

Whaat? How is that similar? There is no ancient senile Jedi or twins or Force nullifying creatures. Were you referring to Luuke, one of the weakest point of the otherwise great trilogy?

Someone did a MOC of their storeroom I see

Communication is always good, especially if it ends up in a dispute that you want Amazon to settle by looking at the history. But in my experience, you have about a 3% chance of the buyer acknowledging your message or replying. If it was me, I would let them know I'd be happy to issue a full refund if the item is returned unopened. Since they changed their mind, its reasonable that they will have to pay for return shipping.

Here is my theory of Rey's origin. I have this in my head for a while, just been too lazy to write it down Discuss

You have to take it back, whether its opened or not. When you receive it back you can decide whether to issue only a partial refund (that's how you deduct your restocking fee). There is a bit of a reference here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=901926 and you can charge 20% if unopened or 50% if opened. But there are some important things to keep in mind. 1. Any partial refund is more likely to generate negative feedback 2. If the buyer is unhappy with the refund, they may open an A to Z claim. That is a major ding whether they side in your favor or not. 3. If you issue a partial refund, you do not get any fee credit back from Amazon. So use your judgment and weigh the options before you issue the refund.

'66 Batcave is in-stock at toysrus.com, so I'm trying again.

Just ordered a Red 5 from TRU for $189.00. We'll see.

Lego Architecture Studio on sale. Going into the giant stash of Lego sets for when my one year old daughter gets older. She is pretty much going to be getting Lego sets for every birthday and Christmas until she is 18, lol.

That seems like a hard pill to swallow when the set's been retired for a year and still hasn't moved from retail. to paraphrase an old president "I've seen the AT-AT, and this set, sir, is no AT-AT." Even the "Star Wars Hype" didn't raise this boat in its high tide. With that said, I think there's a likelihood that it will grow, but it will be slow and that Leia is definitely not the linchpin of the set. If it were, all the hoopla months ago would have cleared them from B&N shelves.

There is an open box UCS Tie Fighter on eBay for $159 shipped or 20% off. I can't create a link with my phone.

I did notice upon my sixth viewing that right being Kylo killed his dad there was a pretty quick scene where what's left of the light out side is overconeby complete darkness . Very telling .

I often wonder that too. I have a couple of ideas, but don't know for certain. During the "off season" (which pretty much the entire year other than summer and spring break), LLCA is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. So I'm assuming they go through and do a lot of cleaning then. There are times when buildings "disappear" from Miniland. There's nothing special put into their place - usually it's gone, and if you're frequent visitor you know it's gone. Then it reappears, or a new building appears in it's place, and it's a bit shinier. Other times, a whole section will be walled off, and they will rehab or redo a section completely. For some of the buildings that have been there a long time, though, it's obvious that they've seen better days. There's definitely fading on those buildings. I think they try to get to them as often as they can, but sometimes it takes awhile. That's my biggest concern with the new Star Wars area at LLCA; a couple of the scene are positioned where they are in direct sunlight almost the entire day.

Well, not as simple as that. To start, he's only 4. And we could buy a shitload of LEGO with that money. And if we open this one, why would not we open a Helicarrier, a Town Hall and a couple of SSD as well ? Of course, we build a lot of LEGO together, and I probably would'nt invest if I had no children. Anyway... there are really awkward moments, like when I have to explain that "Daddy is shipping a LEGO set to someone he doesn't know" or "Daddy, why did you buy 10 of this set? We already have one". But most of all, I would be sincerely afraid to spoil my child with a 600€ LEGO set (even if I have great hesitation about this one in particular :))

3 recent builds. 4768 - Durmstrang ship - I picked this up in a bulk bin and I am surprised at how nice it looks. On Friday and Saturday, I built the New York City skyline and my fiancee built the Wall-E set. New York City is well designed, particularly the Chrysler building. And Wall-E is already famous on the forum... go and get one to build and some to hold.
