Why on Earth would that turn off people outside the USA ? This is a piece of history, when Humanity showed what it can do if it focuses on a single goal and put our vast resources into achieving it! President John F. Kennedy announced in 1961 that before the decade was finished mankind would put a man on the moon. It was a huge undertaking, but America did it, and the entire world was witnessing the Moon landing in awe and excitement. It was not just a huge achievement for the USA but for Mankind, as Neil Armstrong so eloquently said when he took his small step down the ladder onto the surface of the Moon! Too bad I was born in 1971 and so I wasn't yet around to witness it. But knowing that a human walked on the Moon still fills me as a fellow human with pride! And now I just hope to live until the first human sets foot on Mars... To answer the question directly: those words of the United States of America belong on this historic spacecraft and I wouldn't want it any other way!7 points

#fakenews e.g. the sticker in the pic is the same exact one as 10179. while lego will copy an older design w/o a second thought, they do pay particular attention to stickers. it's all about the stickers with Lego.4 points

I list very competitive prices on craigslist regularly, and in three years have never made a sale. Lot's of guys want to trade me their 10 year old cell phones, or lawn mowers that "just need a tune up", though. Others talk about using craigslist & local facebook for good money all the time. Depends on your local market. I would list your item simultaneously on ALL the platforms you can. See what works.4 points

New sellers and those with inactive accounts who become active again will now how to provide id verification (utility bills, state id etc), business license documentation for their state (including registering to collect sales tax) , and invoices for the items they have listed. This will curb the just launched scammers as well old accounts that are getting hacked by the thousands. Speaking of which if you haven't done so already I would advise anyone selling on the platform to setup two step verification for your account. Once done you will need your password as well as a pin number sent to your phone to log into your account. You can choose to disable this on machines that only you have access to (such as your home computer or cell phone). We have this in place on all of our amazon selling accounts and the number of pins coming thru that we did not request every week is a real eye opener to just how bad the attempted hacking of amazon selling accounts has become.3 points

If you're OK with risky "small ball" items: I've been wrestling with the idea of buying 4 x 853687 Ninjago Accessory Set (4 x $12.99 = $51.96) to get the Beetle. The Ninjago pack is 3 exclusive (?) Ninjago characters, currently about $25 on eBay (not sure there's a very big market for these, tho)... not yet listed on Amazon. In the end, decided to pass. I don't have to have every Lego promo that comes around.2 points

I'd consider a Snowspeeder if it would arrive without an imprint of a bagged R2-D2 on the front of the box.2 points

The $15 back on $50, your final price has to be over $50, so if you took it under $50 with points it would no longer apply.2 points

I sold my last 3... see ya.. The profit I made from hoarding this set pretty much paid for most of our star wars collection over the last few years. It was beautiful.2 points

"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." - John F. Kennedy (1962)2 points

Had some coupon and surprise point fun today. Wanted to use a $5 off $20 and $10 back on $20 coupon on each of my accounts, plus my Sweeps winnings. As I was checking options I noticed I had a $5 surprise points on $10 purchase offer on one of my accounts as well. Ultimately I managed to apply the following: 1x Friends Pool - $39.99 - $10 back on $20 + 15% off 1 toy + $8.37 in sweeps winnings = $25.62 (50% off of $49.99 MSRP), with $10 back in points 1x Friends Arcade - $11.84 - $5 surprise points + $3.44 in sweeps winnings = $3.40 (77% off of $14.99 MSRP) 1x SW Phantom - $28.96 - $5 off $20 + $10 back on $20 + 3.95 in points = $20.01 ("only" 33% off of $29.99 MSRP), with $10 back in points Still have a $5 off $20 left, which I hope to use when the $10 on one of my orders gets posted (hopefully they ship one of them tomorrow as the coupon expires on Friday), so I can get another $20 set for $5 Oh, and paid with a Sears GC which I bought at Meijer, for which I got a $5 reward posted to my account. So net, $49 plus tax out-of-pocket for $95 in sets, plus $20 in points, plus $5 in Meijer rewards. Figured I post it here instead of annoying everyone in the "What LEGO did you buy today?" thread.2 points

Unrelated to Phil B’s FBA selling methods of listing sets slightly below other sellers, I listed the Disco Batman - Tears of Batman polybag on BL .01 cent lower than another seller this week and sold it two days later. I made just over $13 which is not the biggest profit ever, but I am happy it sold so quickly. Though I missed the peak period for selling it, it is good to see it go and there was no scrambling to find a box to ship something this time! Curiously the minfigs seem to be selling for more separately than as a set in a new sealed bag.1 point

Not only are the primary builds quite good but the alternates are just as interesting and fun instead of seeming like leftover filler concepts. I am pleasantly impressed to say the least with this year's offerings all of which essentially feel as though there is a fundamental requisite in acquiring three of each to properly build everything together.1 point

I would think that making the die hard collectors who spent $20 each for these minifigs feel like stupid idiots, would be a bad thing - but what do I know.1 point
