Apparently included with this set is a free cat lounger. I'll remember to put away my box next time.

Parisian Restaurant with the double VIP & VIP set. Only built my first modular a month ago, now I have 5, including GG... This is exactly why I held off modulars before, knew this would happen!

I'm a bit confused as to what TRU thinks it's doing, right before the holiday season, restricting top brands for promotions, all while their balance sheet and reputation are going down the tubes.

First Order Band Aid

For real this time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

I just enabled the down vote just for that...

sold a couple of FBA I-Rex's for $259.99 today. This thing is going to $300 by xmas if price keeps going at this rate. repriced higher. RAAAAR!!!!! Ariel Magical Kiss for $68.95 . starting to think this could make it to $80-90 in not much time.

Please stop making so much sense.

I built the Lego Atlantis undersea portal. A very unloved theme, but a really nice build. Grandparents got it dirt cheap, and the kids love it.

Right there with ya...personal record for Freebies...spent $127, double points and five freebies! Nothing too special (VIP excluded), but free is free!!!

Looks very CGI or something.

Trailer just leaked.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96v4XraJEPI

Failure to innovate while Amazon and the lot ate their lunch. Sad story for the workers while management negotiate their golden parachutes.

My wife didn't like my pics, since they didn't properly emphasize her trick or treater placement talents, so here are some better pics. Also, I'm a horrible photographer

Perfect skillset to work in TRU warehouse.

I see Kylo Ren flying around and immediately think how proud his grandfather would be.

You'll be able to next year, patience.

And they're siblings... which means they will follow the family tradition before finding out

Dude, you are killing this thread. Stop trying to to show off and figure it all out. There has to be a twist. Rey is Anakin, Kylo is Obi Wan, the little furry Porg is Yoda. Now that is a story.

Rey and Kylo to defeat Snoke in episode IX together. One is dark with a bit of light, one is light with a bit of dark hence bringing balance to the Force.

I really feel this set deserves a box as oppose to be in a polybag.

These don't look like Gorilla Walkers in this "hanger" shot. There's also a Chicken walker in the left most circle. Can't tell if it's looks more like the older model or new one

Until sometime in the past year, you couldn't get a TRUTH discount on diapers. With some in-store signage fanfare, they removed that exemption. In their minds, it's probably a fair trade. First time in a while today when I went into a TRU, wanted to spend $50 to get the Batman Bricktober promo, and couldn't find anything worth spending $50 on. But I walked out with $84 worth of diapers that I bought with 6% off gift cards and received a promo $30 gift card.

Trailer was friggin awesome. Tickets fandango'd for opening night. Apparently I'm more of a fanboy than I realized.

I liked it. Overall, it looks pretty intense and like it will be a roller coaster ride that in the end will break apart and leaving you hanging for a year and a half to debate what's next. As for the porgs, the marketing gimmick obviously works, because my little boy only wants lego sets with porgs. And I can relate because it's like when I was a kid and was sad when that little ewok took a laser to the back from the AT-ST and laid there lifeless and I felt like we just lost our pet dog...

And you can see the red guard on the right side

Snoke (gold rope) shares at least 1 scene with Rey.

Hmm looks like someone is being manipulated to join the dark side... and I am not referring to Kylo Those snow / ice foxes/coyotes. I wonder if they have any relation to the big white wolf in next season of Rebels

He speaks!

I said might be...

Here is my Halloween display. Was going for a neighborhood with trick or treaters.

Won the lottery for NYCC Lego Star Wars Brickheadz. While there, Wildcard Toys was selling the SDCC exclusives so I got those as well.

Here... to inject a little joy into the sad story that is Sears.

Seems pretty absurd, though. Let's ignore the difficulty for sellers to track the actual location of all inventory at all times (which is rather opaque on Amazon and in constant flux). If I sell something on eBay and ship it out with any carrier, it transits through multiple warehouses and facilities along the way to the buyer. I don't think it's unreasonable to argue it's quite similar: an FBA seller is eventually selling inventory to a customer in a particular state. The inventory may transit various states during that fulfillment process. Inventory shipped to an MA warehouse by an FBA seller may move from that MA warehouse to an entirely different state before it's actually sold as Amazon constantly moves inventory around to make sure it's closest to where it expects the final buyer to be. Seems like the collection burden would be way too high, obstructing commerce, in order for MA to win that fight.

I feel that the trailers are trying too hard to deliberately deceive you into thinking that certain events will take place when it is rather obvious they won’t ( I ain’t seeing no dead people Disney )

VIP promo is on the way, sweeeeeet. Demand looked high so I was ready to make my order. Of course the gift card option was throwing an error code so i had to call to place the order to not miss out on the the poly. The gentlemen I talked with was very nice. I decided to take the plunge and ask if he has heard any news on the 21309 fore front and if it will be avail for 2xVIP. He started by chuckling and saying funny i mention it, they were just talking about it at the CS area he was in. He said the next shipment will be even larger than the last. That has been their model, make more each time and each time they sell out. So this time, they are making even more and hoping to get the right number to fulfill all the people who want/need one and remain in stock. He said next shipment (fwiw) is due to arrive most likely end of this week, begining of next week. Meaning there is a good likely hood this will pop up before 2xVIP ends. Just need to keep those eyes peeled. Most likely the VIP poly wont last and lloyd and cave people will be over. Ahhhh welll, the goal is to get this on dubVIP?

This is a great SUPER trailer!

Luke training Rey be like...

I just called because i missed that the keepsake box wasn’t added to my order. So i’m getting a free santa snowgobe. i was told there are plenty of the globes still in the wharehouse.???

Just about ready to get this thing up on the wall (or at least attempt it, never know what will go wrong when it's up there on it's side). Did a bit of "gravity proofing" on parts i know will fall off, the rest will just be trial and error when i get it on the wall. Before i started all this i did a quick google search of wall mounting 75192 to see if anyone else had posted about doing it yet, didn't find anything, but i came across a review with Jens saying: "I asked Jens if there was anything he couldn’t incorporate for structural reasons. He said no, but recommended against wall-mounting this Falcon to save space. Some of the panels fit as a result of gravity and friction alone, and would therefore fall off if the structure was mounted on a wall." Anyways thought that was funny, it's not like it's difficult to fix that issue... if you go through the trouble of wall mounting it, getting panels not to fall are the least of your concerns This is one of the small panels i know will fall off, so all you need to do is slot one of these yellow technic stud things on the other side of each panels "peg" of course have to do it when it's in place, but this is just to give an example. So i'll do this for any panel that decides to fall off, but i think many of them will be ok without it. The most difficult was the top turret section, as mentioned i can't use the technic liftarms used on the section by default as there's no room for them due to the wall mount construction. So i had to redo how i connect this to the set. After a good hour or so of trial and error i came up with this design. Works perfectly and is amazingly still centered and low on the model. I was worried i would not be able to get it centered as perfectly as before, and that there might be a bigger gap, but it fits perfectly. Almost there, next step is to get the holes drilled and the mount on the wall. Side note - for some reason i much prefer the design of 10179's cannons, there were a bit bulkier and meaner looking. 75192's seem a bit small and wimpy, could be more movie accurate, but still.

I just got one of these yesterday at the store, since of course I won't be able to get 75192 for awhile. I wasn't planning on getting it, but after taking a closer look I kind of like it.

In EUROPE this set is now in stock for order at FNAC (French): €119,99.

I hear ya joe...I went through the same thing day one of the release of the 42056...it took 2 months...plus I got a $20 gift card from lego and a huge apology. The thing about that release was a much lower price point of what...$300?(I can't remember) anyways...the day of that release they were letting peeps buy several at first over seas and by the time we got a chance to order in the states(in my case 12:01 am central time)...they were sold out on backorder. SMH sooo I'm hoping with a limit of ONE, things will work out better this time, and most sept 14th orders might see and end by November(fingers crossed)

The Sceletons by Tobias Buckdahn

Picked up TLBM minifig set from TRU. Was able to buy Ninjago week 1 Bricktober off the shelf and had that contribute to the $50 minimum. Had 30+ Ninjago on the shelf and 8 TLBM at customer service (I'm sure more were available). Probably not the best value, but glad to get the figs!!!
