Found this used on Wednesday for $40 (along with a used 9444 Cole's Tread Assault)...We'll see how many pieces are missing. There were 13 sealed bags and several open ones, so it seems like most are present. My son and I have been wanting to build an At-at and figured it would be 75054, so this was a pleasant surprise.

Sorry to continue to derail, but I stumbled across this one today and it's had me cracking up all morning. I'm easily amused I guess, but I could totally see me or some friends doing this in a past life.

The toy packaging was revealed today... Not too shabby, I suppose.

I had to get all those in before Alpine woke up and started modding me.

Poor poor guy. Here ya go.

did you tell him they didn't fit you right?

I think I could have gotten an entire sealed case of S14 the other day at Target - there was one thrown on a shelf somewhere completely sealed and the barcode rang up the price of a single one .... but my internal sense of right vs wrong didn't allow me to even consider trying this on a rookie cashier.

6 hours... too soon?

well a bit of luck sure. I'm guessing they worked deals out obviously to get at wholesale and I don't know how and, no I don't want them telling everyone on here either. I wish more people on this site kept things secret. either way, glad they can get them for those prices, so they can sell to us.

My store had Batcave 76052. This is the Only TRU store that carry 76052. I believe I bought more than 6 already. All with 20% off and 10% TRU CC. Around $195 after all discount.

You would think that the general 10%-20% premium in price would cover any excess shrinkage problems they might be having.

Just picked up these on EBay for a best offer of $307 shipped. Used $14 in Ebucks to bring it to $293..Good deal?

Last night was wall-e build but not grabbed a photo yet. Tonight was my first architecture set. I must admit the Ideas and Architecture sets have such a premium feel compared with most sets, even the UCS sets.

Today I had some fun building Merlok's Library 2.0 (70324) from everyone's favourite theme. For some reason, I only found this set available at LEGO LEGO Shop at Home. Originally, I only wanted the set for one minifigure: Ava Prentis. The Crust Smasher was of no use to me and is already packed for retail. I also considered selling off Lance but he grew on me and looks like a keeper now. It took me about an hour to build the set. In my opinion, the final result doesn't resemble a library at all but I assume that it's true to the look in the animated show. As I will disassemble Merlok's Library 2.0 again and don't see a use for those transparent orange pieces yet I refrained from applying the stickers. There are quite a few useful parts for future-MOCs. These include several printed pieces exclusive to this set (the black slope and the round 2x2 tile are available elsewhere AFAIK).

Just found a lonely 75019 at clearance at my walmart.. find it in the back store. paid 90.

My first Slave 1 75060 for $131 (TRUTH 20% + 10% + 15% GC).

Taxes. Doing them.

Nice article. too bad Lego didn't design the set something like...

I think it's obvious people want the answers handed to them...

A photo of my Mini Cooper, on display in my IKEA Detolf glass cupboard. One shelf above it is the VW T1 Camper Van, and one shelf below it is the Ferrari F40.

Didn't have to tell them, the rip at the seams was evidence enough .....

I'm sure we'll get some more practical sets.

This Batcave is insane, everything from the scale, detail and just the sheer amount of bricks used is incredible.

Should I invest in X set the month it comes out? No. This goes for every theme ever times infinity.

So, next time you are at Walmart for toilet paper?

To all those sending back tumbler boxes that were damaged Tumbler $265 used, no box BL

Good job, we commend you. There have some been yahoos on here that have done that and then post in the buy thread. Those posts are quickly removed...

So that makes 4 75038 sold?

A word of caution... if you do sell as sealed cases, be extra careful with your description. Despite you believing (or maybe knowing if you opened them) they represent the true distribution of 60 per, what's to stop a potential buyer of claiming otherwise? I've sold a few like this and I always put a nice disclaimer that contents aren't guaranteed despite me believing they have never been altered. They only sold for a few bucks less than the going rate so it was worth it to me.

I moved it. @BarryZola no need to repost

Such a great quote on all levels. Can you please make that your signature?!

Cashed in a load of VIP points and bagged another Sandcrawler !! Also flipped the Mr Freeze minifig on eBay for £15 !

After hunting around the area came up with 4 silver centurions, an Iron Patriot and a Jurassic world poly...........

Taxes. Paying them.

I just watched the BTTF documentary "Back in Time" on Netflix last night. Some of it was pretty cheesy, but for the most part if you're a BTTF fan you'll enjoy it! Don't want to spoil anything, but certainly some facts I didn't know about the stars of the movie!! Link to the film's website: http://backintimefilm.com/

I took a wrong turn on the Internet, got lost here and never found my way out ..... Help!

If I were Disney I'd have JEJ constantly in studio recording dialog. Anything they can think of, record it...

It is weird watching a SW movie trailer with no lightsabers, Jedi or Sith .

Same here...coupon works great...

That was my thinking as well. And it was a mom selling off her kids Lego collection that was no longer being played with. I already got it and it's about 100lbs (I don't have a scale but each box feels to be no lighter than 20 lbs). And out of two boxes that I've sorted so far- there's maybe 2lbs of minfigs and accessories ranging from Harry Potter, spongebob, Star Wars, dinosaurs, and random city people. Plus there's a decent amout of partial builds that will be helpful to look up online and see what sets I can try to find within the lot, one being part of a Harry Potter set. I can't wait to get to the other 3 boxes tonight and sort!

Can't wait for this minifig.

Entertainment value of die hard investors, cheats, scoundrels, morons and the righteous all chiming in. It's way more fun than my Facebook feed.
