I like to take pictures of my swag when I return from Star Wars Celebration. I know this pile of items is small compared to most attendees and I included the KMart items from the 2 stops on the way down. I took the family this time, so my swag collection was very limited. I spent most of the time following my son and our group. I had to keep an eye out for all our kids, so I didn't get to browse or shop much this time. Anytime I looked at something for 2 seconds, it seemed one of our kids disappeared or were engulfed by a wave of con goers. We received very late notice (Thursday evening), but we're very lucky. Each of my family members who entered the LEGO exclusive lottery won. We feel very fortunate. None of my friends or their family members entered, don't get me started on that.

Well, I finished. I am not positive that I didn't make a mistake because something beeped at me in the middle of what I was doing and couldn't figure out what. but this should be pretty close. Unique lots 58. Total piece count 218? must have missed adding 2 pieces, probably a couple plates. I think I was near the end working on the plates that make up the top. Last 6 months sales average by quantity value $48.30. (probably $48.50 with the 2 pieces I missed.) Most expensive pieces: Han Solo's Hair $5 Han Solo's Head $1.15 Luke's Head $2.57 Stormtrooper Helmet $2.40 Stormtrooper Torso $2.20 Stormtrooper Legs $1.40 Everything else is less than $1.

lol - yes. including that claw thing creeping in the lower right corner. this was my one and only time. i made a mess, shelf swiped, victory dance/air guitar solo followed by a quick trip to the hanes aisle. sales clerk stocking the shelf literally 2 feet away, eyes wide open mouth agape at the spectacle. i wish i had some security footage. one of my all time greatest surprise lego endorphin rushes.

It's Ackbar's coffee mug, isn't it? The element?

Did some cursory hunting of the B&N website, and found only a few things so far on clearance, most already mentioned. Lego City Fire Station - 60004 - $49.97 Elsa's Castle - 41062 - $22.47 Spaceport - 60080 - $59.97 Deep Sea Heli - 60093 - $24.97 Training Jet Transporter - 60079 - $24.97 First Order Transporter - 75103 - $45.97 I was in the middle of searching more Star Wars legos, but the website stopped working for me. I'm sure others can add to the list as the day goes on.

The points back page on checkout is finally back!

While everyone is busy driving from one Barnes & Noble to another, I thought I'd share my purchases today: Needed 3 new tires for my car (4th one was still good as it had been replaced recently). Goodyear tires are on sale (25% off) at Sears.com. Got them for $315 before tax after discounted GCs (RRP at Sears and at my garage $455 before tax). No coupons applied as "these items are already being sold at the lowest price the manufacturer allows". Then I applied my 20% back in points Gold VIP benefit. $75 back in points. Interestingly enough, points posted immediately, so I ordered $100 MSRP in LEGO sets at 20-30% off, plus $10 off $75 coupon, for $67, paid entirely with points. Discount brand name tires with free LEGO, not a bad deal.

Not much in my Lego budget so I left a lot for my other local BPers. But I've been watching this TOA for over a year waiting for this day. It's for personal build and the rest are for my loyal Amazon customers

I fixed my file. I'll double check it then upload it again for those who don't want to type it all into a bricklink wanted list CELEB20017-1.bsx

All jokes aside I do hope you find a buyer for it. It is an awesome set and being BNIB (carton) is a huge plus. Good luck to you!

Barnes and Noble clearance did start today. I don't have a list of sets yet. I know Ninjago Morro Dragon is half off. As is 60080 SpacePort. Honestly, at quick glance doesn't look like a ton of sets are eligible. I'm sure someone else will have a more full list before I do

Well, here they are... [emoji6] https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5nqTh5wFAb6NWVLRm1wV05ZQWs/view

Effort is minimal to be honest. Live in London and have good contacts at TRU, SMYTHS and Lego shops who give me the heads up and keep stuff aside for me, including Pakaging from Lego which cuts down my costs. Im also connected up with my local LUG. Wife or mother in law drops packages into post office. I'm just investing to pay for my personal UCS Star Wars and Modulars and then I'm done. From the 'what did I build today' threads you can see that I've already got most of the older, more expensive sets and based on profits banked from my first year, about 80% of the outlay for those sets have been paid for already. By the end of this Xmas season I think I will be done and I will just buy for personal builds since returns are diminishing and it's more about jumping on those deals as well as identifying value. Much like my day job in the city. Although depending on how much the UCS Falcon tops out, this may extend for a little while yet. :-) My wife does ask why I even bother with this approach and not just buy the sets outright, since funds aren't an issue and therefore not bother with the hassle of hunting for deals and storing etc. The answer I give her is that I do enjoy it. From the analysing of sets and determine a good buy in and sell point and then reinvesting that into my personal collection and ultimately the building of those great sets.

Been slowly acquiring HP sets. Snagged this complete with most bags sealed for $65. Great build! I'm hooked on these sets.

Finally got around to build R2. Set was brand new in box, so I put it off for this long. Fun set to build, end result looks good. Some gripes I had were couple problems with instructions and at one point the colour tone they used changed suddenly. The small technic pin used in the leg area to prevent the feet from falling off is nearly impossible to put on. I had to connect one end to a flat piece and then transfer it in place. Front opening panels are rather tight and the left side comes apart too easily. I had difficulty positioning him properly with the third leg out. An improvement maybe to add some slopes to the head to make it look smoother. Besides these complaints, I like this set. It was larger than I expected and displays very well!

I'm building for me, but yes,people do sell them. The Batpod I think is one of the most famous examples of an exclusive that people put together to resell. Last year's escape from the space slug was getting sales.

Sold several Comic Con '66 Batmobiles that I Bricklinked.

I think Target uses a general DCPI (204-00-1379) for all LEGO Minifigure Series blind bags (at least my local one does).

I'll be going through and putting it into Brickstock later. The part list at the end would have been nice though.

Yes, thank you for moving it. I figured it was OK since it was the first day, with several other posts above. If I find anything else, I'll send it over there.

While this is technically a "Daily Deal" please contribute your findings over here:

We will never have enough B-Wings. Best OT ship. Bring them! Ah, crap. You're right. That thing will still be there next year.

Another Lewa Uniter of Jungle for $45 shipped, $4 buy-in.

To the original post : Its going to be a challenge for you to sell to a brickpicker for that price as most of us who have waited to get one mint, wouldn't mind holding off for a few more months till the rumor either fizzles down or solidifies with some concrete information. That being said, I wish you all the luck in finding a buyer at the asking price you mentioned. I have seen listings on Ebay bottoming down every day with some not even taking a bite at $2000 let alone $3000. The reissue rumor as caused some volatility in the market as most people who are holding on to are trying to cash out. Just my opinion. I would recommend either CL or Facebook marketplace where you don't get a buyer remorse burn.

MODS PLEASE GO AHEAD AND CLOSE THREAD, THIS WON'T BE TOPPED. Galaxy Squad 70709 Galactic Titan, Amazon FBM, $109.99 BOOM!

After about 16 months of collecting/acquiring stock, I finally began my first foray into selling. I listed all of these items last weekend. eBay: Raptor Escape - $118.5 (I bought 3 from a guy in a Wal-Mart parking lot for $120 about a year ago) Wookie Gunship - $70 (buy-in was $40 from Target clearance) Series 1 Microfighters X-Wing + TIE - $40 (buy in was $20) Rhino and Sandman Supervillain Team-up - $39.50 (buy in was $19 from Wal-Mart clearance) Loose Minifigures: Jek-14 - $20 Ithorian Jedi Master - $15 Wolfpack Clone Troopers (x2) - $20 AT-DP Drivers (x2) - $8 Kallus - $10 All in all, I'm pretty satisfied with the return. I never intended this to be a major source of revenue, but these sales at least somewhat offset the cost of my habit. I'm sure I could have held on longer for higher returns, but I've run out of storage space and my (live-in) girlfriend is constantly reminding me of this fact.

The Millennium Falcon 75105 is a real mess inside and outside, so it was time for me to tidy up that ship and rearrange the parts. Chewy got a kitchen with stove and coffee maker, the beds have a carpet in front, and telephones are installed at the couch area.

You mean the girl that surrounds your post?!

We can store all posts related to this set here. It currently looks like # produced is between 2,500 and 4,000. From Lego... To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Star Wars saga, Star Wars Celebration attendees will have the chance to enter a raffle to purchase a special-edition LEGO Star Wars set inspired by the Detention Block AA-23 from the original 1977 film! A Star Wars Celebration exclusive, the set includes Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in Stormtrooper disguises ready to infiltrate the Death Star and rescue Princess Leia. The opportunity to purchase this exclusive set is being raffled off on the Star Wars Celebration website prior to the event for attendees only, beginning now through 12:01AM EST on Friday, April 6th. All winners will be randomly selected to purchase the exclusive onsite at the LEGO booth next week, and will be notified by April 7th.

good chance the printed plate is fake considering the manual isn't part of the auction. the plate is even very hard to get it through customer service as a replacement part due to the set being very limited. ...and forgot about finding a manual. Nearly impossible. I was shocked when a damaged box with mint manual was on eBay 2 years ago for $20ish. I jumped on it and then bricklinked the set. I was very lucky finding a real printed plate.

3 per case

Took advantage of recent eBay £1 FVF offer and wanted to clear space so priced to sell and sold following in 2 days. 2 x Artic Truck for £65 each, buy in £30 each Wall-E for £70, buy in was £25 T-rex Tracker for £100, buy in was £20 using TRU Vouchers Trevi Fountain for £65 - buy in was £10 (on sale at SAH and using VIP points) Total investment £115 and a profit of just over £200 for what was a six month old with minimal fuss and a lot more than your high street savings bank or blue chip tracker fund.

I'm lol'ing at 70747. My son just put that together last night.

I wasn't counting my eggs before they hatched when I reported the other day. I wasn't sure how the other pick-ups would play out. Stranger things have happened when it comes to exclusives at these cons.

I've got one I'm trying to get rid of as well... and I bought it only a few months ago... for $5000 canadian in mint condition, still in shipping box. The strengthen rumors lately of the remake is a cruel sense of humor from the big guy upstairs I suppose xD. Needless to say, I'm trying to resell to hopefully get most of my money back... fingers crossed. Each passing day sucks a little more life out of that! Good luck bro! May the force be with us all!

Epic, fans recreate the "Rogue One" Vader's pursuit of the plans at Star Wars Celebration.

EU 3x VIP. Wheel for my daughters. Other sets are for my nephews. Little cars for me I guess.

Kmart.com has Super heroes 76079 Ravager Attack $16.46. Plus few points can easily get price even lower. http://www.kmart.com/lego-marvel-super-heroes-ravager-attack-76079/p-004W007284317001P?plpSellerId=Kmart&prdNo=24&blockNo=24&blockType=G24

Had a lot of fun building Elves Secret Marketplace with my son (6) and daughter (3). Mainly me of course, but they chipped in. Engaging and bright set, with lots of small, interactive parts.

That 1x2 tile looks like it could be used for bacon.

I wish I was retiring soon ..

In honor of our recent trip to the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama and in anticipation of the new Saturn V launch in June, my daughter and I built this classic model.

Thanks for your post. I have absolutely no interest in the Angry Birds theme but there is something about this ship. I was not convinced by its looks so I ignored it. But after reading your post I watched some reviews and pulled the trigger. 40% discount, acceptable for me as I just want to build it for my personal collection. Buying this ship did felt a bit awkward but hey..sometimes it is good to go outside of the comfort zone . Currently I am watching "Black Sails". When seeing those pirate ships in the Caribbean one thought immediately crossed my mind: "D@mn, watching this fantastic series will cost me a lot of money".

Picked this up a few weeks ago, finally pulled myself away from Zelda long enough to build it last night. I have built several HP sets but this is the first time doing one from the original run of sets. I really like the alternate build ideas at the back of the instruction book. They should still be doing that. The old flip box is solid too. The minifigs are a little primitive compared to the newer HP stuff but overall it's a nice set.

You guys should know me by now... A. I'm a smartass. B Canadian's God bless Greg's soul and others are notorious for saying eh. C. A few others know my LL / Merlin wizardy

Neutral as well. Lego Architecture need to start looking at sets that we actual care about: 7-Eleven Motel 6 The Badda-Bing Hotel Calfornia ... or a legimately "appealing" architecture theme, like the Seven Wonders of the World. Even on the Robie House, how many people really give a !#@?
