https://www.ebay.com/itm/282699474388 20% off TRU gift cards... Have to buy at least 2 to get discount. Buy 4 to get $20 off $100. Looks like a frenzy in buying. Buy quick... doesn't look like it'll last....

Given the state of politics in the world, I don't see how that's relevant to LEGO or a good idea.

If you haven't used Google Express recently, or ever, you might be qualified to get an additional 20% off purchases up to $30 off using code NEWEXPRESS20 (one time use per account). The cool thing is, you can use it for LEGO at Walmart and Target. There's already lots of good stuff on sale, some already marked down 30% - 40%. I guess there's also a Discover 20% cashback on Discover Deals for Google Express on some accounts. May have seen an email offer. Wal-Mart Target Get a $130 Destiny's Bounty, $120 AT-M6, $65 BB-8, $70 VW, $70 Winter Train using a combo deal, etc. Your friends and family might have Google accounts too.

Hopefully there is a December blowout of their retiring soon inventory on TRU.com similar to last year. That was a great and expensive morning.

Golden Goose still laying eggs

Mods can change thread title to 'LEGO is nearing its end these 3 signs reveal'

You can't triple stack a double stack.

It's kind of nice not having to stop in TRU anymore.

lack of unicorns ?

Cleaned out my local LEGO store of 6 of these that magically re-appeared on the shelf at 20% off last week. coupled with 2xVIP and freebies it made for a decent score. So if my store had them then a few other stores may still be sitting on some.

saturn V in stock at target.com and target on ebay where you can get 8% back in ebay bucks.

Women of Nasa already available in Toys R Us in London and probably elsewhere (TRU country wise). 20RPP and bonus polybag.

It has begun!!!........followed by the theme to Mortal Kombat...

You need a white 48x48 baseplate... :-)

Jet is still searching for resellers. Got an "order verification" email today saying that my purchasing pattern was suspicious and I may get banned if I keep it up. It's definitely a lot looser than it used to be.

I didn't know there were any other listeners on here. My brother and I are going to see TLJ premier with Jimmy, Jason, and other listeners here in Chicago. I'm pumped.

Does this mean we might see another clearance bonanza at the 99 cent store? I wonder if that type of thing would ever happen again.

These are live and lit! Fantastic little set, can't wait enough for this set that will complement my Hayabusa and Apollo V NASA sector in my office.

By being on sale for 6 years.

Here you go!

Happy BanDay! It's the same button

So they will bring TRUST (Saturdays) back in a couple of weeks, would be cool if Lego wasn't excluded on Saturday due to lack of programming. So now that TRUTH is shut down, I guess the best deal is getting Target to price match TRU 20% off and pay with Red Card to get 5% more?

It's kind of nice to not have to wait until Thursday to make a buy.

Bonanza!

Detective's Office is £119.99 at John Lewis (£23 off). Toys R Us are doing a £10 gift card when you spend £100, that will be valid from Nov 18 - 30. That coincides with Black Friday. I might go to TRU, get them to price match JL, get the gift card, and hopefully use it on something also discounted, on or around Black Friday. Seems like a decent deal to me.

it is a site about LEGO

These are great. I'd love to see more sets like this. How sweet would a Carl Sagan minifig be?

LEGO Dimensions Officially Cancelled... https://www.fbtb.net/lego-dimensions/2017/10/18/lego-dimensions-officially-cancelled-internal-memo/

Yes, there are two versions of most Toy Story boxes. IIRC, the blue versions were released first (before the TS3 movie was released), and the white box was released afterwards. It's not a very popular set. Sounds like your buyer was trying to make a complete bundle.

Yes, both versions were made. When Toy Story sets first released, they were all in blue boxes. When the Toy Story 3 stuff came out later, boxes were switched to white since Toy Story 3 merchandise had white box art and I guess they wanted all the sets to look the same on shelves.

I've tried all the browsers i have - Chrome, IE, MS Edge... no use will try to unlink/link now. thx!

CMF = Collectible Mini Figure

Did you have any discussion about the real problem?

Had an interesting talk with a TRU manager today . Lego rolled out a new inniative since their sales are hurting big time . No more % off across a certain theme , just certain skus a week and need to be approved by Lego. No more coupons , rewards, etc across all chains/retailers . Disclaimer :

No. The model maker uses various pics from the web for background box art. This was discussed on Rebel Force Radio 2-3 weeks back.

That didn’t take long ... lol

I'll tell you what sucks, not even having a meijer store.

Meijer : Should stack with the other mperk coupon

Just a heads up, I've got $20 in unexplained freecash on seemingly any purchase (without coupons) right now on both my account and my wife's account. It doesn't show up in the list of Surprise points offers, just hanging out there in my cart. Probably better just spend it quick, right?

I always wondered if people actually won prizes ?????

Going to keep you all posted on this one:

Finally got around to picking up the UCS Snowspeeder. I knew i'd love it, but just couldn't justify picking up without some promos/double VIP. The Snowspeeder was probably my favourite SW vehicle as a kid, i remember bringing one of those Action Fleet Snowspeeders everywhere as a kid. Also going from building 75192 to this was almost laughable. Only 1 bag per step!? what is this a juniors build? ? Guess i'll never again think a set takes too long to build after 75192...

No, just no. I think the NASA sets are awesome,. While I don't find this set that impressive, it's better than I though it would be, probably due to the packaging, and seems to fit nicely with the Research Institute.

I highly recommend the book/movie Hidden Figures if you want to learn more about Women at NASA especially the contributions of black women. They could have included a lot more minis if they wanted. PS I am the one who edited the first post, stay classy folks.

this set has been a disappointment as an investment . staring at 3 dozen more and the ones sent in to FBA only sell if you are willing to take paltry sums. getting close to cracking the 3rd year post EOL and 1.6x msrp and 2x the permasale price of 54.99 relative to going FBA. i'm sure one day when the seller count dips below 30, people will make decent money, but from a cagr perspective, this is a dud at a buyin over $42. this could possibly be the worst performing 2014 star wars set. i'll have to crunch some numbers. even the stupid salami battle set and santa's workshop kicking mos' arse.

It all started with one of our fish having babies. We separated them in a breeding tank for a couple of days. But that was not enough....my wife and sons teamed up on me and begged for a bigger tank. Next thing I knew...we had decided to not only get a bigger tank, but also decided exactly how we wanted to decorate it. We love our Lego displays, and this was just another creative way to add to the collection. What the hell...right?!! Great build! Very fragile! Great display piece!
