This one is for you LEGO, inspired by @BrickLegacy and brought to you by Brickpickers everywhere.

I've never rated a set on S@H, but I have a 1 brick rating locked and loaded for 75159 as my first.

It was probably released before they had designer videos. That's probably why they rereleased the set, they needed a designer video for the archives.

Nice video by @just2good with great comparison pics.

I have a feeling the Amazon reviews are going to be brutal for the 75159.

And this is just for fun....

Girls love those fire bike polys

Unless you don't have a 10188, buying a 75159 only encourages LEGO to be lazy, uncreative and uninspiring.

If it's like last year, there will only be eleventy-billion sellers on Amazon, too.

Last one for a bit, I promise.

If someone need ornaments they are on sale at lego SAH. USD 1.98 each

I am not buying any of this sh1t lego is selling anymore. They could have learned their lessons after the toy shop. But obviously they didn't. So what keeps them from rehashing other sets now? If one deer is over the dam...

Toys r us UK have some pricier sets with unadvertised reductions. Sandcrawler currently listed at £199 - instore only and slim pickings but I managed to get one reserved locally for myself. http://www.toysrus.co.uk/toys/lego-star-wars-sandcrawler-75059-/TRUP1861360001 Porsche GT3 @ £229 GBHQ @ £249 Tower Bridge @ £189

Yes.

I'd throw in a free Chima set to anyone who buys my Sopwith Camel for $283.74.

I'm with the Queen on this one.

The best trailer yet, so good the movie might be a letdown compared to this.

Pick up a DIY Home Depot book. Very helpful. I rewired my whole kitchen and it passed inspection no problem. The Inspector even complimented me on the work.

Well, KMart didn't ask for PEE, since they already had plenty, but they got them anyway.

Today I bought...

Looks like my kids favourite film character - The Iron Giant.

This is the one from this lot that I like.

If you don't like the new DS (and who does?), you can call Lego and complain about it. I did. Just use the 800 number in the catalog (1-800-453-4652) and at the website. Lego reps are happy to pass on comments/suggestions/complaints. And with Lego, you will get an American (in the US anyway) who speaks fluent English, not a call center on Mars. They won't ban your account for making the call (I suggest not mentioning that you're a reseller, but it's your call), and it's a more useful approach to stopping future remakes than posting here (nothing wrong with that; just do both!).

Ironically, CW was so much what the prequels could have and should have been To me, the success of RO will depend on how much its creators have learned from CW and Rebels

Like when they obviously learned from reading all the negative views about the Toy Shop, not to mention the other negative rehash opinions (Iconic Easter Chicken, UCS Hoth, etc). We don't need to keep making excuses for them, and assuming that they will change (now that they know the truth, which by the way, they already knew) What we need to do is learn from their behavior, and what we have learned is that LEGO will lie - Retired, Exclusive mean nothing. Yes, they might tweak this or that, justifying the lie with some legalese excuses - but it is nonsense.

. Check your in box! Now for the GC deals...

From BrickFan: One thing to note in the press release notes was that the UCS Death Star (75159) is not an indication of any future re-release or set updates.

@jeff_14 of course ....

too easy

Yup. [emoji857] Couple of times. [emoji6]

That's pretty large for TP.

I tend to think the White House will do well if it ever retires, but I don't agree that sets in this range do well because they're the most recognised. I'd never heard of Farnsworth House or Fallingwater before I made nice profits on them.

Retired sets man, they are all the rage...

the thing is, i am more than capable of changing it, however it does take a good 60 - 90 minutes to put it together,take the old one down and hook up then new one. figured i would pay someone to do it and spend sometime with the kids this weekend before they start school. and yeah, u would think people would like being paid in cash after hours, ha..

Wife bought a chandelier and I had an electrician come today to install it .. He took a look at it , said it is too much work and left ... Guess i know what I'll be doing this weekend ....... Calling the fire department

Not quite today but built a few sets recently. First is my First Order Transporter mod. I never liked the dimensions of the Lego First Order Transporter it was way too short and stubby. So when i got chance to pick up a second set on the cheap i thought I'd use it to extend the original and sell off my second to claw back half the costs. I still need to order some extra 2×4 flat tiles to cover the sides but overall in happy. I've extended it by 10 studs and will get a FO Battle pack to fill it rather than the current rebels. I've also started experimenting with my many bridge battles. I've put two together in a reconfigured order. But think I'm going to use the span from a third set to get a full bridge effect. Last but not least i picked up a Turbo Tank because a: I didn't have one and b: Argos were selling it with 22% Off. I'm glad i got hold of it that way because i don't think it's really a £100 set when compared with Kylo Rens Shuttle or dare I say it, the Sith Infiltrator. Bear in mind I've not seen or built any of the previous turbo tanks for comparison but it just feels a bit flimsy and lightweight for the cost. Luckily these days the Lego RRP's don't last very long after launch and £75 I'd say is about the right price point for this set. I just can't wait for the Rogue One sets as the summer releases have been uninspiring and over priced. I will pick up the TFA set when decent reductions come along but most of the builds are a bit Meh and I'm not really into Rebels.
