That's why I only list my stuff at ridiculously high prices. That way people know I'm legit. You all should do the same too. =)

Everyone bought the same five sets at B&N and TRU this week. This is going to turn out great!

we dont discuss such things here.

My wife is starting a new project today. I'm loving the organization.

Totally. If you want one of my 26 Pet Shops, you better make it worth my time. $400, take it or leave it. Payment in bearer bonds or uncut diamonds. And no shipping hassle. You come to me.

My wife and I's little haul today. Got all of these (except 24 emmets) at B&N at 40% off. $35 architecture sets, $60ish for capitol, $40 BBT, not bad I think.

I just went through an emotional rollercoaster of jubilation and disdain. I must be getting jaded. I just received an order for 39x 40252. Very excited because I had feared I would have to drop my prices to get rid of the batch I just picked up this weekend. Now I regret that I didn't buy more when I had the chance (my wife is going to rub it in because she told me to buy more. In fact she bought more than I did). But that regret was tempered by the reality that I'm going to have to figure out how to pack 39 (or more, gonna try to unload more on this guy) of these into one box, very securely. Packing has become a lot of work. But at least the profit is good. So I tried to focus on that when I received my second order. A 460 piece order on BL, consisting of 167 unique pieces, for $25... It's almost pure profit, and I have a box for them. But it will take hours to find all of those pieces. I have the worst inventory system for this kind of order. I guess the silver lining is that I've been rethinking my "system" and now I have an excuse for an upheaval while I fulfill this order. It's going to be a long week.

And now for something NOT Barnes & Noble related. I went to the nearest LEGO Store and snagged the following: 853651 Gotham Police Pack x 2 40237 Easter Egg Hunt Vignette 41587 Robin Brickheadz 41592 The Hulk Brickheadz 41595 Belle Brickheadz 41596 Beast Brickheadz 30607 Disco Batman & Tears of Batman Polybag Promo I find that having no car tends to limit your buying and driving options. Besides, you can only afford so much uBer and Lyft costs. Kudos to all of you lot who snagged the B&N discounts on the Architecture sets. Future discounts always in the future!

I feel the same way. It's become evident in the architecture theme that unless the set has a short shelf life like Sungnyemun that most sets not based on US landmarks dont rise as fast here in the states. If they are more obscure, then it takes a lot longer to appreciate. Last years Brandenburg Gate, LTOP, and the Villa Sovoye are pretty much RRP after fees right now or just the typical "thanks for the 5.00". I can see sets like the Eiffel Tower do well, but i'd be hesitant on hoarding a lot of Louvre, Burj Khalifa, Venice, or Berlins (all of which should retire next year). I could have bought about 6 Trevi, but I only grabbed one and the reason is i'm sitting on quite a lot of VS's, Brandenburg Gates, UN and LTOPs that I dont want to get stuck with another turkey. Basically, it seems Chicago sets are money (Farsworth house, sears tower, JH Center = $$$) New York sets do very well. DC sets seem to have some legs too. And of course any set designed by FLW has shown promise. I think the US Capitol set will be a great one to have when it retires... But anymore, I think the Eiffel Tower and the US Capitol Building are the two sets that i'd eye to stock up. The rest, i'd buy light.

Plus let me remind you that even though EBay/Paypal will have your back, they use our fees to cover these scams. The more these scams get encouraged by buyers falling for them, the more EBay/Paypal needs to reimburse, the higher our selling fees will become.

KMart.com - after $10 off $50 mobile coupon 75154 - Star Wars: Tie Striker - $47.64 (32% off) 70594 - Ninjago: The Lighthouse Siege - $47.64 (32% off)

Was out of town today so I hit up 2 B&N's. Unfortunately I stupidly put back 2 Villa Savoye and after putting the bags in the truck went back in to get them and they were gone.. Left lots of the City sets. I did leave about 10 other YS. They're at the Warwick, RI B&N if anyone wants them. Sale ends at closing. There are plenty of Friends sets as well.

Project getting there .. castle had an accident and needs to be rebuilt . Couple of smaller sets to buy and 3 sets to build .

I would start with contacting the seller, sending these pictures, and telling him that this clearly does not meet "Brand new box, perfect condition". Ask him to send you a new one, in a proper shipping box, and a return label so you can send this one back to him. Should he not respond, not respond properly, or otherwise not meet your needs, then file a claim with EBay. I would not start by proposing a solution myself, this is clearly the seller's problem. And $10 would not be enough for me as compensation. Don't mention you are a reseller, just say you bought it as a gift.

40xMinifigs Batman Movie. Clearance at Sainsbury's from 3GBP to 1.50GBP each.

You do realize an update is prepped for a Fall release?

The Alien quotes never get old.

I would file a significantly not as described claim as that it clearly not in perfect condition and try to work it out. I would take a picture of the envelope used to mail it as well. I would not mention being a reseller.

You may be able to get your money back from ebay/Paypal but buying from these types of sellers where you know there is a good chance that it's a scam only ensures that this type of activity continues. If people don't buy from these sellers the scammers will give up and move on to some other scam.

Back on topic. Kallus was no match for Thrwan. Actually, not sure how the Rebels would win vs someone like Thrawn, which made him the best foe for them so far. Not saying Vader was not good, but he was more like the sledgehammer that crushed and scattered the rebellions. Thrawn is more like the exterminator that goes to every nook and cranny to destroy every last cell.

Here's hoping the series will be picked up by Amazon Prime

I just discovered that http://www.shopyourway.com/mp/app/16250/l?p=WebPromo2 gives access to another wheel (with some sort of fish? in the center of the wheel). Won 250 points with it (about the most points I'm getting nowadays with Sweeps, probably used it too much). Remove the mp/ part for desktop as per TacoCat's original post. Red Wheel suddenly started working for me again as well (the first link in the above post), but the Blue/Teal wheel no longer works for me. ADD: Also noticed that there seems to be a $10 surprise points on a $10 sporting goods purchase promo .... not LEGO related but someone might be in need of new equipment or supplies for free ....

We'll see! It gives me the Brandenburg shakes. I have my fill.

Words of wisdom.

My local Wal-Mart's been cleaning out their trailers. Can't get the picture to load, but I found 2 Golden Dragons among the Hero Factory, spider-droids and Goblin King Battles.

For you guys going to B&N....

Noticed an influx of large quantities of Homer packs at my local Target that I suspect are returns from somebody shopping at 99 Cent Stores. All other packs they only have a couple in stock. Rotten. Just rotten.

Make sure you keep the oven below 350 degrees. Low and slow.

Only if it´s FBA (Free-Basing AFOLs)

Great. Now I can't look at the pic without seeing that.

Gives a whole new meaning to the words "Hot Rod".

That's the problem, working the angles to leverage return/refund policies can only hurt everyone in the long run.

Hi, My name is Sarah and I always had a love for lego. Recently my husband and I opened our movingboxes and there was our old lego. Turns out my husband loves Lego to and kept his sets, like I did. That was the start of our quest for things we wanted as a child (mine is paradisa, his is technic) and make room for these sets. Our childeren (age 7 and 5) now often look at us like UH?? ;-) But they got the same love for Lego like we do, only for the newer sets. We love to just watch them create something and then actually play with it.

I have those, but he's not a fan of feeding discs. Kids nowadays...

Used some Sweeps points and my $15 back on $15 coupon to get 75137 Carbon Freezing Chamber for $17.64 plus tax (on sale for $20.69, plus 5% off toys coupon), with $15 back in points at KMart.com. Small purchase, but couldn't resist using the coupon.

lowest price on amazon for Trevi is $68.91 and a favorable seller count of 56. with a barnes & noble buyin of $42 , you're up 61% from buyin . slightly worse than the tumbler and beating red 5. granted that's a little bit apples to oranges. granted at this recent discount it needs to get to $100+ before its worth selling. clearly there is still stock out there at bn so until that sells out the price will take a while to get to $100. i am comfortable loading up on retired sets on discount like Trevi Fountain or Flatiron Building which have virtually no chance of a remake and are targeted square at AFOL. 24 months from now i will look back fondly on this weekend.

i just finished building the 7662 set. It's a cool vehicle and lego design. This MTT reminds me of a combo of the 6210 Jabba's Sail Barge and 10144 Sandcrawler.

I'm not real high on Trevi, growth has been stagnant (I know it's early). You'll be able to get YS on sale and also with coupons at TRU, etc.

i felt the same way about YS barnes noble sale after i spent all my cash on the retired architecture. probably for the best anyway to wait to buy yellow submarine. i will snag some during double vip holiday promo time. i am doubting that YS has a production life under 18 months so i am guessing there is some time left. better to focus the cash on the retired sets. the bn sale was particularly satisfying because you were buying some of the best performing retired 2016 sets at 32.5% discount to msrp that were already selling significantly above the buyin. it seemed like they must have found another truck full of trevi fountains because these were at every bn i visited in abundance (3 stores in Western MA and Enfield CT) and without the spider-antitheft device. I was able to snag 12 Trevi between 4 stores. one store (Pittsfield MA) had 8 .

Left 3 Trevi and other stuff for you guys.

Yes

The US list pinned to the top is updated and the changes were significant.

(I will say a close second is when he yelled at his sister "They don't have Hello Kitty Lego because they don't have THE LICENSE.")

My son and I were checking out some of the 2017 set pictures. He was mad when he saw the Quadjumper set. I asked why. "Dad, one of those figures is exclusive to a Lego book I bought!" I asked why is that bad. "Because now if they have another one, the value will go down!" He's 8. Never been so proud.

This is gonna be one slow thread.
