Keep buying, a UCS creepy Santa is achievable.

I finally made it over to B&N to pick up a few of the sets that I had reserved. Left a lot of pretty good stuff that I am hoping will make it to the big sale in several weeks. What I did get was 25% off + 10% member discount +8% discounted gift cards. 21014 Architecture Villa Savoye x2 $43.21 each 21017 Architecture Imperial Hotel x1 $80.71 21018 Architecture UN x1 $30.71 21021 Architecture Trevi Fountain x3 $30.71 each 41135 Livi’s Pop Star House x1 $30.71 75903 Scooby-Doo Haunted Lighthouse x1 $30.71 75904 Scooby-Doo Mystery Mansion x1 $54.91

For me, I tend to not buy sets that are really creepy looking. This fits the mold.

Now it works. B&N haul today. Sorry to those who don't like seeing haul pictures.

Local toy show average paid $7.40 per bag, trying to fill some older missing figs

Excellent afternoon of brickpickin. Wiped out all the barnes and nobles of their white houses, and lincoln memorials. Also found a maze, and a mystery mansion. The maze came out to 47, plus I had a 10% raise gift card thanks to their "add 4" promo. Then I stopped by TRU and wiped out the last of the Sith Infiltrators and the last lonely Tydirium. The US Capitol Building is mine to build. Couldn't resist the 67.00 price point at B&N.

Not bought today, but arrived today. Thanks Navy Exchange!

Why are there still Lego Santa's 40206 left at SAH for 50% off... you guys must really fear the bubble...

At that price I would not sweep, but I would lightly dust.

That's me. I'm trolling Amazon and their inconsistent authenticity policies.

32.5% to be precise.

Zoinks! by Chris McVeigh Jinkies! by Chris McVeigh

they ask because they REALLY really don't want the person they are getting a gift for to see how much they are spending and if you are selling them one of your price gouger over priced retired LEGO sets you really shouldn't be surprised that they wouldn't want someone to see how much they spent on some plastic bricks. they are looking for a human on the other end. they end up coming back and buying more from you when you accomodate their request. i never include the packaging slip as standard protocol because i'm so cheap and don't want to waste ink and paper for something destined to the trash. i sell hundreds of items a month all FBM. i get the request to leave it out all the time anyway so my standard protocol means I never once screw that up. i have never once gotten a complaint saying where the hell is my packing slip. from my perspective as a voracious online customer (and the husband of an even greater consumer), the only upside to including a packing slip is if you are really trying to make it easy for the customer to remember where the set came from when they want to return it to you.

Looks like people have gone out and bought the Resistance Transporter today. It's been wiped out from buying online at TRU and stock has dwindled country wide by about three quarters of where it was yesterday. I think by the end of today with the B&N and TRU holdouts being the last retailers with stock that it will finally sail off into the sunset. Naboo starfighter is also sailling off finally.

Wait... You're telling me that I was wrong to load up on Nexo Knights at MSRP?

Bought a 9499 Gungan Sub for 80 euros. Decided I need the Queen Amidala minifig in my collection.

Some recent FBA sales: 79000 Hobbit - Riddles for the Ring - $29.99 60083 City - Snowplow - $34.99 10669 Juniors - TMNT Turtle Lair - $59.99 70707 Galaxy Squad Mech - $71.99 10574 Duplo - Creative Ice Cream - $149.99

3 gorillas Fairy, pretzel guy, alien queen Statue of Liberty, leprechaun Spartan, mime, weight lifter TLM panda and taco guy Still have some more to open

I inadvertently stumbled on this when I bought GG for my stepsons back in 2008 as a birthday present. They never came and got it so I just put it up on shelf and forgot about it. I recently moved and the box was slightly damaged but it is still intact/sealed and I would consider it in very good condition. Do you think it will appreciate in value over the next 10 years? Should I sell it?

There are lots of Retired sets available at multiple retailers below MSRP. TRU has over 999 Droid Escape and they still haven't gotten rid of their clearance Sith Infiltrators or RTT. BN has over 1400 Flatiron left last I looked not to mention you can get them for $28 on BL. I don't want to say the "B" word but if you look at a Bell curve we are definitely approaching +2. Unless LEGO decreases the number of sets produced per year or you are lucky enough to only pick short run sets I do not see much of a chance for recovery. Mods now please move all this talk to the bubble thread. Thank you.

I've accumulated a healthy stash of these and will be selling these at $15-$20 ea every Xmas. Nice profit if u ask me.

No, US market. Isn't the rule of thumb - take what is going in the US and deduct it by half for Europe? Heck, I don't even know why there are European brickpickers on this site.

I was able to buy several cases of 40252 again today. I know time is running short on this, but I'm sure I can more than double my investment in just a week or so. Found a new Ninjago accessory pack that looks pretty cool. And the little chick from last year 40202. Oh and the iconic brick calendar.

If your state collects sales tax and TRU have a presence (store, office, or warehouse) in your state, then you still pay sales tax

8 different Chima Polybags for $40.

Navy Exchange is correct. Nothing on sale at mine.

Only problem is Subway footlongs are $6 now!

2x Back in Black LBM Movie posters $8 after fees/shipping, eBay (Buy-in $0) 2x Disco Batman/ Tears of Batman Polybag 30607 $21 each after fees/shipping, eBay (Buy-in $0) 6x Lego Dimensions Scooby Team Pack 71206 $15 each, local (Buy-in $3 each) 1x Minecraft The Mine 21118 $150 after fees/shipping (Buy-in $41.76)

Just sold the oldest set in my inventory (based on my purchase date). It was a Technic 42001 Mini Off Roader from 9/10/14 I got for $8.47, a whopping 35% discount after tax. Sold for $20 with free shipping on eBay. Stunning performance on this one lol. With the eBay 10% rewards bonus on sales, will net a bit over $4 after fees and shipping. Yay for almost 50% return! I can almost buy a $5 Subway foot long with the profits!

I am very glad my whole family loves my hobby. My husband and I bought these today for our collection!!! Not the greatest deal ever, but I saved some money and got the sets I wanted. Not in photo are old VW Beatle and monster Haunted House

Thank you man

It's probably 32.499999999999999999999%

dope find, what are the prices for these?

I think Kmart meant for the appropriate action required was to delete the email right away. Mine contained $1 off beauty products and $5 off of shoes lol.

Got lucky today found this little sucker in The Entertainer at rrp.

Makes me feel even better but you're right, as many tydiriums, Rey's shuttles, and other sets I was able to get, only found 2 JW t-trackers

Very few at this price

Just got back from B&N. Went to pick up some Mazes and to stack the 25% with the 10% member discount. I politely asked the clerk if they had any more in back. While she was looking I found a single White House that I grabbed as well. She came out with four more Mazes. I paid and left the store. When I got in my car I glanced at my receipt and noticed that the White House also rang up as on sale. I wasn't expecting it to since Architecture is usually excluded. I didn't even ask when I checked out. I went back in and grabbed the two US Capitol Buildings that were on the shelf. Those rang up on sale as well. Again, I didn't ask. They automatically rang up that way. Most likely a YMMV, but you may want to try.

Very impressive and amazing looking model. The BMW M4 DTM 1:10 racecar designed by brunojj1. I had collected and organized the pieces to build this model quite awhile ago but I wasn't sure about how to power it and control it. It uses 4XL motors, a servo motor and three sets of lights. The original design requires two V2 IR receivers and one regular receiver and three AAA or Lipo battery boxes. I was waiting because I was debating building this with the Buwizz which I ordered but it was delayed for a couple months. In the end, after getting a few more V2 receivers, I decided to build as per original design instead of waiting for Buwizz or using Sbricks. It is just too fast to try and control with a phone / tablet. Superb looking model. Sorry for poor pics with my phone.

Good ol'made in USA inner packaging saved the day!

I think starting a thread with a list of buyers who have filed A-Z claims using this same method would be beneficial for all who sell on Amz.

Ship to one of your trusted fellow brickpickers. At that price I bet there's a few takers

I was sort of interested by the premise of Vinyl ....however seeing how many "f-bombs" were dispersed so liberally in just the teaser killed whatever interest I had. I realize as adults we may have a tendency to swear yet at the same part being a grownup should require us to know well when such language even is needed in the first place. To me so much cussing feels unnecessary, reflects ignorance of the speaker and laziness on the writers. Well I'm done with the soapbox. Anyone want it?
