Didn't buy anything but in the process of packing up for our upcoming move, I discovered a box with two sealed Haunted Houses that I forgot about. Woohoo!

Dragon from Ninjago Dragon Forge. Nicer than I expected. Some less common blue (not sure which blue is used) parts and several of the shield shaped tiles (in black). Edit* the blue I mentioned is Dark Azure.

I finally finished up UCS Artoo after a week of 1-2 bags per night. I really enjoyed the build and love the final result.

didnt see this anywhere yet 76055 for $30 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01CU9X64K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501840825&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=lego+76055&dpPl=1&dpID=51PCwyj2xxL&ref=plSrch

First (low-resolution) picture of the 40263 - Christmas Town Square vignette has surfaced: Looks like a really nice addition to a Christmas town / Winter theme !

Did a big trade for some of my Prime Day glitch stuff. Got a used Black Pearl, an incomplete QAR, a sealed box of Series 14 minifigs, a used Vampyre's Castle, a 10188 Death Star with a beat up box (to build), a smooth hair Leia, a sealed blue polybag White Boba Fett, and some cash. Also some more Walmart clearance which I'll post in that thread.

$5 piggy cars? I'm always on the look out for Lego to donate to the local childrens hospital and would definitely buy some of these at $5 but can't find them. Are they in store?

Those clearance stickers probably have a small exclusion list on them that includes LEGO Construction Sets.

I co-ordinate the donation on behalf of my LUG (MBLUG.org), and I draw from friends and family as well. I've been doing it for 6 years now and have a contact at children's hospital of Manitoba who let's me know what themes, gender and size of sets they are most in need of. I then drop off a couple hundred sets in the fall. Just google your local childrens hospital and they will have a donations coordinator you can work with. Sets that retail at $13 are the most popular as the kids build them on the trays in their hopsital beds, then take them home. I try my best to pick them up at 50% off throughout the year.

I just happened to be on SD forum when it first hit, got lucky before the alert went out.

Man, has this thread gone dry or is it just me? Anyhow, Kmart has started a new clearance wave, some of the sets are actually discounted pretty well, instead of the usual 5% off only. Once the extra 50% off sale hits it's gonna be a gold mine. I'll be posting a list to the Kmart clearance thread later today.

LEGO needs to simplify their greys/grays. No need for twenty versions IMO.

maybe the worker is an undercover purist AFOL secretly trying to bring back true light and dark gray. the bley colors are ugly compared to their predecessors.

Even the employees have trouble with the greys!

My CL hot streak came to an end, someone beat me to this one.

Grabbed 6 ninjago minifigures. Love the pieces in this series!

Disclaimer: This is NOT the official poster. A fan made this and it was posted on Reddit yesterday. Here is the original link in question. That being said...I'm not even sure if the official poster can exceed how AWESOME this looks, much less Luke's "come at me, bro" gesture.

You can never know the feeling of going to Walmart without actually going. The wildlife there is something to behold. The first few times I went on Lego hunts at few prime Florida locations, I really had to consider whether it was worth it. It's the intersection of two very popular (and very true) memes: "Florida Man" and "People of Walmart". There's not one visit that I don't see one or both.

New LEGO Build Your Own Adventure book, DC Comics Super Heroes. It includes Green Lantern John Stewart! And a nice little mini jet. I just wish they'd offer up instructions for the builds inside. There's a few good builds that I'll have to figure out.

Don't crack.

No problem with the link as far as I'm concerned.

I was told that if you cannot use a LEGO gift card that your account is flagged for some reason. My account was flagged due to something with a return of mine from months back. CSR told me this when I mentioned I couldn't use giftcards and she removed the flag and I've been able to use LEGO gc's since.

Looks like you can generate a new unique coupon code every hour through this site.

I got one. I saw this this morning, but my wife has my disney rewards redemption card with $100, was trying to wait for her to get home so I could use that too. Once it hit SD tho, forget it, I pulled the trigger

The hospital we donate to is Markham Stouville Hospital. Moderators please feel free to delete this link if deemed inappropriate but you can find out more at http://mshf.on.ca/additionalwaystogive You may want to check your local hospital to see if any more local opportunities exist.

Got lucky. Managed to order one at 1:55pm. Thank you.

I got one, at least the email confirmation said so.

It seems there's a 'reservation period' if you have added the item to cart between now and exciter1's post. Hmmm... nvm then. My order went through 'after' @fuzzy_bricks post.

Why am I still hesitating...

http://metro.co.uk/2017/08/03/lego-recalled-120000-sets-because-one-worker-packed-the-wrong-shade-of-grey-6827254/ Doh! There goes the Christmas bonus..

Got an email for 20% off clearance coupon for in-store and online with code CLEARANCE20.

Large, unbagged pieces are stuffed into the boxes by humans. Or it could have been a human selecting the wrong color for the machines to pack into bags.

And Back again.

Highly recommended...I was excited when I got that "new season coming" e-mail from Netflix!

Bought a used 75054 off eBay. Is one of two sets I really regret not owning. (The other is 10221, gonna have to work on the wife for that one though).

I just don't understand who buys that set at that price. So random.

For@Alpinemaps

weird seeing this on the shelf at target today. without spiders too! i had no interest in this theme but the sets all really stand out in the aisle.

Friendly reminder to noobs - check the seals! Went to WM yesterday to pick up two $30 scuttlers. Picked up the first and someone did a great job of using scotch tape to fix a cut seal. The other one was fine. Folks are sneaky out there.

I did not watch Voltron either, but I am happy to get a traditional Japanese mech for the sake of fun. Now somebody please pass a Godzilla so I can make them fight in my modular city.

Thank God. @Alpinemaps would have been unbearable if it hadn't been made.

Finally got around to starting this last night. Did bags 1&2, no stickers yet, KAI and KONRAD figs with his fishing boat. A couple of elements in new colors to me they may be in some mixels or friends sets that I haven't built and one new element that is covered. Took me longer then expected because I had to line up all the imprints on the translucent light blue elements but looks nice. Plan on bags 3& 4 tonight.

Finally all here. My SDCC collection is complete once more!

Posting this here, perhaps someone will find this offer attractive? who knows. https://athensga.craigslist.org/bfs/6211179089.html

Seeing the exo suit instantly reminded me of Ripley and the Power Loader from ALIEN and I asked myself: Why does LEGO not get an ALIEN license? Produce a set like "Ripley with Power Loader fighting the Alien Queen". Produce all those cool vehicles and ships: - The Nostromo - Landing Ship - Troop Transport - The Colony... ...well ok, I already get it: too scary, too violent, not really LEGO-like. But seeing all those vehicles and ships in nice black und blue boxes in a LEGO store would have been awesome.
