With Halloween approaching, I built this with my 7 year old daughter. Picked up a new in sealed box along with a new Townhall about a month ago. I was hesitant to open it since it was my only copy, but what the hell. It's only money! Build was okay, quite different from the typical modulars I've built. Now I have to incorporate this to the rest of my buildings. Oh, my daughter loves the play features of this set, especially the ladder function.

I can confirm the half off. I took the last one on the shelf. Store employee said there might be more in the back...but only one per customer. They are always so darn busy over here. Edit - Now that I'm back and settled in. Big thanks to @PhilB and the brickpicker community in general. This was definitely not on my pick up list, but at half off with promo item, couldn't resist.

Zero effort? Are you joking? You're basically making minimum wage for a whole two hours. And with the risk of a $350 Lego set being damaged or stolen during the transaction. Meanwhile you're deflating demand for the product by selling so low. If you can't sit on these till Christmas then you shouldn't be buying them anyway.

50% off SSDs had us spoiled

Gonna tell you what you all are doing wrong : discussing this on the DD . Take it to the 71040 thread .

Amazon has a return reason option for when they accidentally send you more than you ordered. That way you can keep your second one (assuming it's mint) and return the slashed one. "Received extra item I didn't buy (no refund needed)". Hint.

Got approved to sell on WM so the $1mil is not true. I am about 1/4 that much. Its all about getting wm to acknowledge you.

SoCallers, just saw this on Eurobricks:

8275 Motorized Bulldozer. I actually started this set a while back, but half way through i realised that the set was missing afew pieces, so I had to bricklink the missing parts. Advice for people who plan to build the set, pay real attention to the placement of the power functions cables, i didn't follow the instructions 100% and realised after i built the set that the PF cables get caught on some of the gears and this results in the front part not moving up correctly.

A year too early - probably.

Cleaning up thread. Lets get back on topic. Hopefully soon with my enhancements to BrickPicker 4.0 you will have hundreds of shops across the UK, Europe, etc to talk about where to find deals. Thousands of listings in all sorts of categories. Basically all things Lego will be at your fingertips

Anyone else think we need two European threads, rather than there being constant off topic posts here? Maybe we could keep this one for daily deals and another thread for all other business. I get that moment of excitement when I see a daily deals notification, only to be brought back down to earth when it's someone posting about their order status, not looking at anyone in particular, Seth

That would involve me having to leave the house. Besides, I won't be in a Walmart again until their next clearance event in February.

Ok thanks. Must be one of Exciter's stores in Amish country. I haven't seen a WM scanner like that for some time now. Thought it was TRU and a possible national markdown.

I'm glad there is finally another set that I really don't care about. Too many entries on the "want to buy" list already.

True but when the risk is $350 if you get scammed by someone on Amazon or eBay and the reward is $20 that makes it too risky for me.

I guess the risk of a bad transaction either by shipping or scammers needs to be taken into consideration as well...

Finished a certain giant black tank last night. Helluva build. Also Did this polybag I found at Target this morning. What a great little build. Nice palette cleanser after the lengthy Tumbler build.

You can say about this set what you want, but this video is pretty neat.

Now we need some more of that $41.99 Wall-E action! Missed out yesterday!

Amazon 70751 - Ninjago: Temple of Airjitzu - $174.98 (13% off)

Now's your chance. It's back in stock at $117 https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Creator-Expert-Fairground-Mixer/36246211 ...and it's out of stock.

I consider myself a savvy shopper, but until I got a few months into the game here on BrickPicker I was ecstatic about getting a few bucks off of MSRP, and gladly paid full price. Now that I've seen the light I'm not buying much for less than 30% off (certain exclusives and must-have items excluded, but even there I'm playing the waiting game - looking at you, Brick Bank!).

I don't think the average consumer pays attention to pricing and discounts and whatnot like resellers do.

Yes, good thing was that the 10% Payback was a direct discount. But I really thought they cancle that order.

^ Thanks for the heads up. For $1.88 I figured it was worth the risk so I put in orders for a couple of each. Got a shipping confirmation for the Minecraft sets. Now I just have to wait 6-8 weeks to see what shows up...

1 London Bus promo, for €26 including shipping (of €6,50).

To anyone who missed out on the first go around, Lego Fairground Mixer is back in stock at Walmart at 116. https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Creator-Expert-Fairground-Mixer/36246211 Tempted to buy more, but I'm way past my quota for lego this month. Need to stick to the plan.

Don't worry I found it!

Picked up this beauty for half price at Downtown Disney store. Employee said it was only at the Disney locations.

Take a pic of a new one. Now I'm curious.

Hey guys, the mop is taking the day off. Feel free to keep the QFLL Castle chatter going here.

I just got home@philB . Did you really have to post this?

That's Big Mac money son!

Mixels still 30% off at Walgreens. I found one store that had them at msrp +60% off. That's like 75% off in Wally World. All series 4 btw

Did you build a bat-tank? Today I finished my Ghostbusters building. From the Ideas set I only built the Ecto 1. That's because I think about selling the minifigures as I plan on getting the Firehouse Headquarters at some point. Then, the minifigures would be redundant. The abundance of silver/metallic pieces used in the Ideas version is a nice touch. Also, no stickers to be seen! The last build was the new Ecto 1 & 2 set. On the plus side, it has functioning doors and seats for the whole Ghostbusters team. I could do without the stickers though. The new hairpieces are cool. Both Ectos are nice builds and look cool but they seem to be rather large compared to the figures. Finally, a shot with both Ectos next to each other:

Add in the monster series minifigures that would boost the look even more. I saw an MOC post somewhere here on the forum where they added a graveyard and a basement etc.

You forgot the sound...

I think the Monarchy tried that once, don't think it went so well though... but anyway, on a lighter note, yes being so close to the border helps with both purchasing and selling. hopefully a win/win which ever way it goes

Got my $117 Fairground Mixer today. Thanks to Walmart for slapping the shipping labels on the box. The side is open but all the bags are amazingly still there. However, still a phone call for the complaint and now Toywiz will send me their's for only $126 more than I paid Walmart, and Walmart gets to cover that cost. So instead of throwing it in a less than a dollar shipping box they're going to pay a difference in price that's more than what I paid originally. I should have just told them to let me keep it for free and it would save them $9. Save money. Live Better. Whatever.
