Finished. Well I guess I need to see the movie as there is a lot of build here that I have no clue what it is. Besides being an amazing display set, it is very busy and seems to have something different to look at each time, there are some awesome modules that have great detail on the inside that you do not see unless you take them apart and explore, like Lloyd's apartment that just looks like a plain yellow building from the outside and the comic book store. It is not your classic Ninjago set and I still think ToA is my favorite in the theme. It is also not a classic Modular where you build one floor at a time, rather you build separate modules that attach to make up the floors. I think they did a great job of recreating the city from the movie using new elements, elements in new colors and existing elements in new ways, but will have to wait to see it. I am going to add the Ninjago green dragon 70612 tonight and some lampposts from the city chase 70607 should be arriving Monday. You get a lot for $300 with over 4860 elements, 16 minifigs, sweep and 2 suprise figs that are part of the build.

Finished Ninjago City going to try and add 70612 green dragon to it tonight.

Great set and even better price? 1 of 5 had a beat up box so cracked it open, Scuttler for the win! Fun build, awesome minis and great final product!

Just built a 60115 Rally car with my 4 year old - picked it up for €5 from a local seller, brand new but box was a bit shabby

My son just really started to get into Minecraft, so we built our first Minecraft set. I like the flexibility and creative options. I can see why kids love the game and the sets.

I do not know why they choose to use such a big box when it could easily be a promo polybag.....

This is so tiresome. "I'm going to sell in bulk! Let's see...I can get about $400 each with free shipping, if I sell individually. Therefore, the bulk lot should be priced at $28,000 for 70 sets! Done! I can MATH!" See this all the time on ebay. Amateurs.

Yes, had to restart the service, should be coming through now.

for those doing the WM clearance most of these are from similar discounts last year (yes, plan on holding these for an entire year). Sold multiples of all of these FBA Police station 60047 $109 ($40) XXL box 10697 $85 ($30) Starlight Inn $55 ($11) hydra fortress $65 ($25, and available in bucket loads) Pop star bus 41106 $75 ($19) Livi House $106 ($25) had to make some room, my 10 boxes shipped off to FBA have about 7 received, 5 or so processed and 2-3 boxes sold through already

I read it as "correct my mistake."

Saturn V

Three's Company Regal Beagle bar set complete with Larry and Mr. Furley.

After my best ever Sweeps week (~$22 in points this week alone) I was able to buy the following using only Sweeps winnings (and a $10 surprise points on $50 offer): Gift Card was 6% discounted, so total out of pocket was $15.58 after tax. 76% off for a set that came out just last week, not bad. Personal purchase, so I'm okay with it not being free Thank you uncle Eddie!

Not a set I've bought but got the instructions for Mirko Soppelsas UCS U-Wing MOC and ordered all the parts i don't have. Hopefully this will tide me over until 75192 hits the shelves. Not a cheap set of instructions to buy but the manual is a work of art and comes with a unique numbered tile as it's a limited release.

It should be a hardcover for $800!

The Smurfs

Maybe it's my age, as the months come tumbling down before I turn 40, but a lot of my favourite mid size sets in the last few years have harked back to when I was a kid, Ecto-1, Mystery Machine, Benny's Spaceship. Look how happy Voltron made @Alpinemaps. Got me thinking to what sets I'd love to see made and I seem to keep coming back to tv sets from decades ago. Maybe this is what Ideas is all about, but I'd love to see a dedicated retro tv theme, here's a few of the sets I'd like to see: A-Team Airwolf Knight Rider Battlestar Gallactica - I know, Disney would never allow it Buck Rogers Magnum PI - Car and helicopter The Fall Guy pickup Dukes of Hazzard - PC means this won't happen Starsky and Hutch Wacky Races Mask Babylon 5 Can't believe such a crap set like BGGT got made, when there's so many more cooler sets out there to be made still. Love the fact that minifigures for movies/TV from these generations are creeping in with Dimensions, BA, ET, Beetlejuice, Gremlins, would love to see even more.

Now I'm intrigued. I want to see this ToA mod.

Built a bad-box set from WM clearance. I like the disc shooters and the moving wings (plus the great minifigs!).

$400 ea... not much of a "quick sale."

Is this from a fellow BrickPicker?? Is it a Deal?? ? http://www.ebay.com/itm/lego-10188-Lot-Of-70-Pcs-In-Stock-Quick-Sale-Please-see-Images-/172792804071?hash=item283b40f2e7:g:F4sAAOSwpmBZdjL2

@dcdfan did you say Die Antwoord?

If we have Hanna Barbera, maybe we can have a Grape Ape bigfig

Looks like another DK Book. John Stewart!!!

Back in action . Thanks @Jeff Mack

I would love a set for Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.

His time machine is now in the future. Don't see it either.

The Muppets & Sesame Street.

Fraggle Rock

I hope it's the crappy decisions and brand deterioration. 10179 remake put them over the edge.

Forgot to include obligatory ymmv forgot to discuss why I might or might not receive such offer forgot to include cut off time forgot to include if a minimum applies forget you all together .

I'm just going to copy pasta you, because exactly this. Hanna Barbera stuff would be awesome. You just need one iconic set piece from each with the main characters and you're done. Like the Flintstones car with four minis and Dino. Or the Jetsons "car." If you wanted to do a mega set, you could do Yogi's flying ark and include a bunch of the characters (anyone remember that?) Wacky Racers were also HB, so you could throw those in there too.

Padda's reign at Lego didn't last too long. https://brickset.com/article/29843 The LEGO Group today announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Niels B.

Danfoss is a family-owned, Danish-based global technology company which specializes in infrastructure, food supply, energy efficiency and climate-friendly technology solutions. Christiansen said: "I am honoured to have the opportunity to join an organisation as iconic and purpose-driven as the LEGO Group. I have loved building with LEGO bricks since I was a child. As I look at the challenges facing this generation of children, the Group’s mission, to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow, is more important and urgent than ever. I am looking forward to working with the Board, the family and the LEGO Group team as we embark on the next phase of global growth." About Niels B.

Picked this up last night. All bags and the two sub-boxes still sealed. Tempted to build, tempted to flip. #brickpickerlife

Built the Friends Hot Dog Truck with my daughter the other day. Also, decided to move my 10030 ISD to another location for display and had to apply some CPR as it was trying to fall apart and die on me. The internal structure of that thing needs some serious Technic upgrades. Mine does not sag but the two halves need more holding them together.

We all have a high roller buyer , and mine yesterday asked for the following ( she pretty much has bought one of each set i had in stock in the past 7 months ) 10221 SSD : $ 1250 shipped 42055 bucket wheel exc: $ 450 shipped 10228 HH: $ 600 shipped 42009 MKii: $420 shipped 10258 London Bus: $280 shipped 70618 TNM DB: $240 shipped. Good times .... I paid 100 bucks for shipping alone... but she demanded next day delivery... hey what ever she wants !! ? I need to offer her a Mixels series 1 !!

The Architecture Sydney Opera House I found a few months ago was pretty good, but I think this might have it beat for my relic of the year find.

To be honest, you're way overpriced.

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.

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.

Agree. Holiday set is normally VIP amid-September with general release October 1. And the UCS MILF should be the other set. I'm betting a Sept 1 press release (Force Friday) with the on sale date being mid-September as well. Which hopefully means we will get some leaks for both in the next two weeks.

Can we at least all agree to call this set UCS MILF? To distinguish it from the last one?

Going to start this one tonight. Seal codes 23R7. It has 2 white boxes inside one with bags 1-4 multiples of each I will inventory them later for reference. Box 2 has bags 5-8 and bags 9-16 were loose in the bottom of the set box. Three instruction manuals sealed in a plastic bag without cardboard, 1 for each floor, I like how they highlighted the floor in color on the corresponding manual. They are similar to ideas manuals and have information on the designers, set, minifigs and history of Ninjago. Two sticker sheets, one unnumbered bag with various larger elements and one 32x32 dark grey base plate.

Super Escort Girls is the lepar version of Super Hero Girls. As despicable as they are it's pretty hilarious. edit - On topic - I like the name. I would hope lego would stay with whatever the designer named it.

I think it's the same as Chile. In Chile Lego has several branded B&M stores and also an online store, that is not part of LEGO Shop at Home. It's just an importing company that got the license of the LEGO brand to use it in Chile. Prices here are between 2-3 times US retail price. New sets take at least 6 month to arrive in store. You can make good profit buying online in the US and reselling here 30% or more cheaper than official Chile Lego price, specially with friends, minecraft, Star Wars and other licensed sets. There is not to much reselling competition, but also the market is not that big. Maybe I should move to Brazil, I think the market there is bigger. About the "no interest", the same happens in Chile, people buy everything and everywhere, splitting into at least 3 payments, sometimes even to buy something that costs 5 USD. There is no interest, but there are some "hidden" fees. And also people often forget to pay the second, third or whatever payment (they don't use banks and automatic payment) and then it goes boom, with interest rates of 50% and more. It's a very lucrative business managed not by banks, but by the big stores that give this type of "credit" cards to everybody.
