After the unfortunate recent events in Texas and Louisiana with Hurricane Harvey, I just want to let Brickpickers who live in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina know that we are thinking about them. I know our thoughts mean very little in the grand scheme of things, but get the Hell out of danger. You can always replace a LEGO set or TV...You cannot replace yourself. I am praying for you. Be safe and let that witch go out to sea... Ed and Jeff.9 points

Let's be honest, when you've got: You have Chima sets still on the shelf, that have been retired for 2+ years, and they're still marked above RRP, You don't automatically PM your website (and PM'ing negates coupons and other discounts), You jack up the prices above RRP so that your sales aren't really sales, You have so many exclusions on your coupons, that you need a magnifying glass to read them, Your jacked up prices cause people to just go to the other big box store (Target, Walmart) that sells LEGO in the same shopping center ...you're gonna have trouble staying in business.4 points

Thanks for creating a feed! Many of my loved ones are in the NC,SC, and FL area. A few tips if you live in the many expected flood zones. Your dishwasher is like a "flood safe". You can save things you have to leave behind like pictures,small safes, sentimental items, and of course important documents etc. It is waterproof and secure. Also if you are expecting a power outage (which I would) and are staying, your washing machine makes a great fridge. Fill with bottled water, drinks (whatever you need refrigerated.) top with ice. Keep the lid closed. Should keep you good for a couple of days and the water simply runs out.4 points

The only reason I would waste my time waiting on line at the mall would be to get that cool box. My wife will probably want to toss it in the recyclables.4 points

Stumbled across one at my local B&N while browsing the 75% off clearance. With my 10% membership discount, I was quite happy with the find.3 points

Me too, but I just like to complain about how much lower I sold the item compared to its current price3 points

Another personal purchase: All 3 Advent Calendars for $45.71 total (54% off) plus $15 in bonus SYW points from KMart/Sears. Needed some serious SYW magic, but in 2 orders, using a $5 off $35, a $10 off $50, a $10 back on $10 and a $5 back on $20, with $35 in Sweeps winnings did the trick. 6% discounted GC gave the final few dollars of savings.2 points

SSD is too niche and small scale. ISD has a much higher chance to be remade, and I would actually welcome that. Remakes should be done really sparingly, but ISD, Falcon and X-Wing are those I can forgive, since the number of ships so iconic is limited. No matter how creative you are if the movie limits you. Toy Shop, on the other hand, was not limited by its own universe. It was genuine laziness. And I share the same idea for obscure SW ships. There are enough of those so remakes are not needed. If I were LEGO I would release here and there some obscure stuff never to be remade, but make the staples available regularly for average AFOLs. And if they ever remake any modular ... well, that would be their worst decision to date.2 points
-
I love the line .. "by a real LEGO designer." Does that mean someone who doesn't just tweak remakes? Or perhaps someone who doesn't comb the web looking for AFOL designs to rip off? Might have made more sense to say "one of the MF designers."2 points

I don't understand all this hate for the Falcon's rear end. It's no worse than on 10179, and arguably the blue tubes are a better representation of the actual engines from the movies. 10179 rear 75192 rear (photo taken by @jstodda earlier in this thread) Rear of Falcon from SW: A New Hope Rear of Falcon from SW: The Force Awakens2 points

I personally like the Palace Cinema better than the Pet Shop. I know a lot of people like that the Pet Shop can be split up into separate buildings. But most seem to like the brownstone better than the actual Pet shop building. It's also a shame that it's the last of the $150 modulars that didn't go crazy on the inside details allowing you to customize more.1 point

#5...2 Exclusive Minifigures plus 3 buildable figures...totaling 11 figs...not Bad this is actually a huge let down since you can BrickLink 80% of those figures for 30USD w/ shipping. C3PO - Escape Pod Rey - Rey Speeder Han TFA - Rathar Escape Chewie - trash bin. Pogos are not a figures, it's pile of bricks put together. Finn - any TFA TLJ set literally.1 point

Oh I have some horror stories I won't share with you because of the pain. Let's just say I undersold my Harry Potter stuff by a insanely large margin.1 point

I haven't read it, but why do people suggest that? I've never deleted any of my listings. I like to follow up and compare prices and aging and such like that. *** ALSO - For any of you long time pros, I know the tons of stuff being gated thing is relatively new - Once an item is no longer available from retailers, does it automatically ungate? How does all that work? I've seen gating for things that are not available (Not LEGO) - So therefore providing invoices and such is impossible. Any way around this?1 point

So, why is the UCS MILF so special, that it's a test? We've just had two other UCS sets rereleased - Snow Speeder and Death Star. It seems to me that we're on the part 3 of the test. If you're just arriving for the test, you're late.1 point

@TabbyBoy those people are just common folks, not the ones who are looking at the whole thing as a lego resellers. They've got all those sets from LIMIT 5 orders and now trying to offload them. This website charges you 5% of the transaction and shipping in Poland is about 4 times cheaper than in UK using same carrier as DPD DHL etc. Sending Apollo in Poland will cost you 3GBP (DHL) in UK 12+ for same carrier. So for those guys 125% RPP makes the same sense like 135~140% in UK. about same profit.1 point

Nice! Of note, my 10019 is still for sale. I listed it up on this site a couple of weeks back.1 point

These false sales happen all the time on Bricklink. I reckon it is the same stock.1 point

Bought and rebuilt a Queen Anne's Revenge (4195) with the thought to flip it. This is my first ship from Pirates. But now that I've built it I don't want to part ways with it. Such an awesome ship! [emoji21] In fact now I want the Pearl.... ugh lol1 point

With the September sets and the UCS Falcon, we will have all the best stuff. The next interesting wave likely be 2hy2018. Will be interesting to see if we get any non OT UCS sets for 2018.1 point
