A great morning for me. Rolled up to the mall about 5 minutes before it opened. Ended up third in line. About 15 minutes later a horde came in and lined up. Sold my spot in line for $200 cash to a late arrival who showed up about 45 minutes after the mall opened, and made it to work on time. Guy just walks to the front of the line and says "$200 to whoever is willing to sell their spot". An instant "I'll take that sir" before anyone else could think about it. There may be some peed off people in line behind him now, but that's his problem... not mine. Was buying this to quick flip locally... made out quicker and faster than anticipated.

On my way back from Leicester Square with 1 signed UCS MF. Few nice freebies etc and a fun day with some good peeps I met in the queue. One of the wheels failed after about 2 mins of rolling it along. Luckily I can carry the thing

Transport problems [emoji38]?

My haul from last night at LS!

People make a big deal about Max Profit. It can be ignored. The reason it stays here is because 500+ users follow this thread. If I remove it from here, then I have to tell hundreds of people to go elsewhere when this is the deals thread. It's not going anywhere, so ignore it and then don't complain about it. Those that are complaining about it are making more of a mess of this thread than Max Profit is. The script runs every 3 hours. Removes all previous posts and just leaves the latest and greatest (1 single post). For each of those that complain, there are plenty of others that send a PM, email, Facebook message that say..."thanks" Max Profit will be improving and also be integrated into other features that may eventually replace this part here. So have patience. Maybe one day some of you will find use for him, but for now, do what works for you, ignore him and have a happy day. This is the end. If you want to PM me about it fine, but don't waste anymore time here in this thread.

I hope they hurry up, my Mom wants her credit card back.

For those of us that are fans of the other VIP set to come out today...

On another note, it's good to see you all this morning...

If only there was some way for LEGO to anticipate this type of problem. I guess there's no historical data for them to draw on to gain insights.

My daughter used her Irma-induced day off of school to finish up her 41130 Friends Amusement Park Roller Coaster. Her Friends mini-city is now complete with hotel, houses, sports park, all the amusement sets, and several other random things (like the news van and an entire jungle section...ha!). She really likes the amusement park, but of course wishes the roller coaster was motorized.

I would have refused it in the store

I ended up being 3rd in line getting there at 7:35 (4th guy showed up around 8 AM). Another 20 or so people were turned away before 10 am

You have 3 Moms?

Nice try suckers! I sold my sets for $50-60 and put that back into 21031 Lego Birds! Who's laughing now!!! *tap tap* Is this thing on?

Also our store was very kind and gave us a goodie bag of whatever promos they had left - 1 Ninjago Dragon 1 Han Solo in Hoth Gear 1 Shoretrooper Poly 2 each of 2 of the Millennium Falcon Posters 2 Ninjago Posters 2 MF Brochures Now I'm only missing 1 of the Millennium Falcon posters. Anybody looking to trade posters?

Saturn V is back at Amazon I figured it was safer to post it here.

Like how i dragged myself out of bed way early to buy a toy that costs almost as much as my monthly mortgage payment.....what choices in my life have brought me to this point....

I only use my points during double-points.

disagree. there have been plenty of flash >50% off amazon sales all summer long i've gotten because of max profit posts. max profit is a slightly different version then the running header that used to be at the top of the daily deals thread. and at least max profit is always posting on topic in the daily deals thread.

This video is kinda hilarious. Glad I did online even if it completely sucked. Also, I figured out where a large portion of the $800 went to: the fancy BOXES! What. On. Earth.

I was bored. Should be working. Thought I'd do this instead.

Do me a favor.. Count how many Max Profit posts you can find in this thread right now? (not counting the sticky on the top of the page). Go back 50, even 100 pages and tell me how many Max Profit posts are messing with other peoples posts.

Holy moly! Just logged in.... Page 113 of 132. Guess something got released today.

I'm guessing he's also pretty disappointed that his store probably hasn't been hitting its sales numbers for the year either.

They are trying to make it the must have toy of the holiday season. "OH MY IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET" "THE DEMAND IS HUGE". It's the same crap Nintendo does I will sue LEGO for lost revenue and crappy website and really bad releases of their products. This is why 1400 people are losing their jobs.

Who needs to actually buy one when you can just lie on the internet. I bought three! Triple winner!

Everyone stop trying, let me order first

Paragraphs man. Helps the reader.

I guess that it has retired then. Good while it lasted.

How did the other dude take the rejection?

Because many of them are offensive and political in nature. We have enough experience over the years to know they're not funny (to many) nor do they generate valuable conversations in these threads.

Billund at 6pm today as the Lego salesforce leave for home.

The arches are higher and so is the footers

Everyone is over here: Meanwhile, I'm just over here saying, "yeah, new holiday set came out today!"

Me too, you all are enablers!

That's what 'he' said...

How many didn't plan to buy, but are just now trying so they can feel like a winner?

I take back what I said about the dummy that runs the Lego website. They suck!

We had a thread on this. Everybody won!

Finished for now. Time to run! 3 circuits.

Sheeps ready to be trimmed.
