Poor photo quality but here are some recent builds: My wife built the brickheadz and supervised, by leaving me alone, the other builds. I am indifferent towards the brick bank and it seems like a miss to me. The white exterior doesn't go with any of the other modulars (use rustic or tan to show age) and it's far too short for a corner building which forces me to break open a second set to compensate. I understand the trend of smaller and more detailed but this took it too far. The mismatched exterior color is a poor choice as well because it forces you to buy other sets to hide it and the laundromat is a throwaway section. There are some nice design characteristics but it's a general miss. The GBHQ was built from a used set with all of the pieces sorted by color. This took forever to build but I really liked all of the references to the movie and I really enjoyed seeing it come together. This is a well designed set particularly with how it opens up to show the interior and the back wall is easy enough to hide. I don't expect this set to have huge value for resale after retirement but it's a solid piece.

Each person you can turn away from any particular set, is one less competitor you have to battle with in the aftermarket. It's all a mind game to maximize profits. Everyone, LEGO as a whole has lost all value. The dumps will soon be full of plastic bricks. I am certified to recycle these bricks to save our environment. I'll take these off your hands free of charge to ensure we protect our planet. Just let me know where to pick up, and which size truck I should bring. Mother Earth thanks you.

Built a half used, half new star destroyer (75055). Mmmm gray...gray everywhere.

I call them customers.

TRU has a number of sets on sale again this week at 30-40% off. Included in that sale is the 76067 Tanker Truck Takedown @ $17.99. http://www.toysrus.com/search/index.jsp?s=A-UnitRank&kw=99827aug17&keywords=99827aug17&origkw=99827aug17&sr=1&ppg=96 Wonder Woman Dorm (41235) - $11.99 Speed Champions Mustang GT (75871) - $10.49 Tanker Truck Takedown (76067) - $17.99 New DC Super Hero Girls Sets are significantly lower than other stores. Harley's Dorm - $11.99 Lena's Kryptonite Factory - $35.99 Eclipso Dark Palace - $59.99 Batgirl Bunker - $26.99 It looks like it's a 2-day sale only, so no chance to stack with TRUTH.

Mint used SSD for $375 with box and instructions. Already found a place to display it!

My son was exposed to another money pit at Star Wars Celebration. I spent half the day yesterday figuring out how to play.

I really question why you buy any Lego at all...every one of your posts is either talking about how a set is a complete turd or makes no sense at any price. I can be negative at times, but I have never seen anyone who is as relentlessly negative as you are. Even accounting for the differences between the US and European markets, to say that 60111 would be a waste of time at 70% is so ridiculous that it leads me to believe that you're just messing around and don't actually believe the stuff you write. I can only think of one set (Construct-A-Zurg) that would have been a true waste of time at 70% and even that set has rebounded to the point where a 70% off purchase would have turned a profit (although it would be a money loser from a time-value perspective).

I have a wife, and she has expressly forbidden me from buying this set, until certain other non-essential things are purchased first (read: golf cart for cruising the neighborhood) .

Some recent interesting sales: Doc Brown minifig for $7 Cyberman fun pack for $12 76021 Milano for $80 2x galactic empire BPs for $13.50 each. Cosmic boy poly bag for $10.70 UN building for $75 And a Pisa for $60

Everyone and their grandma's cat sell advents during the holiday season . Number of sellers on these in the past two years has been ridiculous .

These have really fallen off badly since the Santa Vader set. Why don't we get truly unique figures any longer? The white Chewy was easy, but at least it was different. I just can't get over how unbelievably lazy and mailed-in this Santa BB-8 figure is. This might very well be the first year I skip the SW advent calendar.

slew of crap on FBA, mostly last years elf sets, some ninjago and city.... but.....proving again that the CMF market is dead, but at least got rid of one Mr. Incredible $3.50 on BL in a batch of 10-15 disney CMF, from $3.50-$6.00

I'm in the complete opposite situation from most...I'm the wife who wants this! And I don't plan on asking permission...

Sir von LEGO, one of the most reliable guys on here says we're getting sets next summer. https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/152123-lego-nexo-knights-2018/&do=findComment&comment=2843804 There also may or may not be an accompanying CMF Series...

Tatoinnee and Jedi battle packs; 2 new microfighters including Falcon and tie fighter. 3 constractable figured. A new Vader, bobs fett and also Darth Maul. Have pics. PM me if interested and can't find yourselves

My order number, a month or so ago, was 10XXX for what it's worth. Sets are sealed.

Poof................

I'm still flipping mine now. I've been told by multiple outlets, including earlier on this thread, that Lego's plan is to continue production of this set into 2018. I've honestly seen absolutely nothing that would make me think otherwise. The Lego stores around me are still getting them in every few weeks. I just sold my 19th copy yesterday. My profits after eBay fees, PayPal fees, and shipping costs exceeded $450 in total. I'm not complaining. In fact, you can help me. Keep buying these things, every time you come across them. It will continue to feed my quick flipping campaign. Thanks in advance for your help.

Or you could check LEGO Shop at Home now.

Lego LEGO Shop at Home knocked the Classic Batcave down another $15 to $199. https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Batman-Classic-TV-Series-Batcave-76052

I love my wife, and I love Lego. And she doesn't really understand my love for Lego, but she tries. She even sits down with me and builds. It's a fun family event. Luckily, I'm invested in Lego, and will be able to buy into this set at the beginning with money obtained from selling other Lego. So, no need to ask the wife. She already knows. I'm so excited to build it. The only problem I've got, no place to put it after it's built! We live in a small apartment and have a one year old. I'm already taking up a large section of the living room for my shipping supplies, which really pushes my wife's limits. Thus, I might be building, appreciating for like four days, and disassembling this set. At least for the time being. But, I believe it will be worth it. Maybe this will give me an excuse to build it several times. That might be really fun.

The buyer's GSP shipping breakdown is only shown on the shipping slip you print during the postage purchase process. At times the buyer's GSP price was insanely high so I let the buyer know these fees are not from me but ebay itself.

It is a simple test to see if you have what it takes to be a reseller. If competing with 100s other sellers for $.50 profit is enough to stop you from selling, then the reseller life is not for you

I know the color of the box and some details, it is being manufactured in Mx... I cannot confirm minifigures yet... my contacts are keeping these details even from me..... which is good, I want it to be a surprise for me as well... that is why I have not digged deeper into the detaisl...

she's not to fond of you trying to sell on her listing either...

Finished up the U-Wing this morning. My son quit about half-way through. Great ship!

Not sure if this has been posted before, but i found this MOC to be very interesting:

I don't have to ask for permission, but my wife doesn't either. That's a whole other issue... [emoji856][emoji857][emoji24]

Oh the joys of being a recently divorced guy with no kids. I don't have to explain or ask permission for jack squat. I can throw money down for this and be proud of it and not have to worry about a nagging wife hahaha. In your face!!!!!! haha jk guys.

You could probably fit the kids in it.

Best Buy is now selling LEGO sets. Reported by just2good:

Man! That's tempting...I may have to pull the trigger now. Thanks for the heads up...

Fantastic job! I gotta admit tho - opportunity missed at ~:34 when you said, "I've got you, I've got my set, I've got my shirt - everything is good." No! Everything is awesome!

Haven't bought Lego in awhile. But just did on a 21309 for the hell of it. Just wanted to know what the hype was all about.

Yep, I remove from the Brickfolio after each sale and I make periodic backups. I enter each sale into the spreadsheet. Volume hasn't killed me yet.

I use it, and as a seller I like it. I've had two problems with it, but both problems seem to have been caused by the buyer screwing up their address in some way. Both times the item got shipped back to the Global Shipping Center near me, but I never personally got them back. The beauty is that if there is a problem between ebay's global shipping center and the buyer, as a seller, you are not responsible for the mess. All you've got to do is get the item to the shipping center.

Flip'em if you're quick. Found 3 at KMart

I was counting on the Chinese concern revealing their version first. It´s remarkable how TLG seem to be able to keep a lid on internal and exteral links when they really want to. Makes me think that a lot of the previous ones were stage managed.

I got my $50 box of awesomeness tonight. I have lots of pieces that looks to be a train station. Lots of other pieces not pictured. I love the crane. 2 full sets of working PF Functions, IR, and remotes.

Mine actually came in the original LEGO box. Set box condition is pristine. Seal code is 29R7

$575 on BL for a sealed 10129 Snowspeeder that I picked up a couple weeks ago for $250 off CL

Just a thought on my previous question. The 755xx Darth Vader and Boba that people are assuming are buildables. Could the number jump indicate a new product line. IE Star Wars Brickheadz?
