I flipped one, am holding one, and sent one for free to a random STEM teacher on Twitter who mentioned wanting one for her classroom. She seems confused and excited.

Received as a gift from a guy who worked for Lego years ago.

laughed out loud when i noticed this on my metrics - from one of the $99 sales. my first triple - woo hoo - 1%er grandma's rule.

Superfriends for the win! I️ just wish they could have squeezed Gleek in here somehow. Was he in the movie?

Great price on this set. Lots of nice pieces in it.

Target has 20% off friends sets. It's stacking in store with already reduced prices for some nice prices.

I don’t name them, I just report them. Just the opposite for me. Never in a million years would have I thought I’d get all those Superfriends minis. This is much better than 5 different Batsuits.

CL sale, 41056 Heartlake News Van $25. Buy in was $9

I saw these posted on Facebook and thought I would share it here. It is not LEGO, nor does it purport to be. The display is found at Target near the movies and books, where they have various licensed knick-knacks. It's called the Nano Scene by Jada. They also had a Harry Potter scene display and a DC Comics Batcave scene display. There is not a covering over the slots and the space inside is big enough for about 3x5 studs. I used some 4x4 plates as I didn't have a bunch of minifigure plates. It was $17.99 or about the same cost as the 2x4 minifigure display case from LEGO. The plastic rock base is detachable and it can be wall mounted. Target DPCI 323010416. I did not install the 3 AAA batteries. K-2SO on the plate was slightly too tall for the slot and had to be hunched, Chewbacca fit fine.

Seems like the price went back up. I was able to unload 3 at $52 shipped today.

Looks like these 2 themes could be getting some much needed secondary market demand. ======= “Amazon has greenlit one show that it hopes to rule them all. The company has made a multi-season production commitment to a television adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy epic The Lord of the Rings.” https://www.reuters.com/article/us-amazon-com-lord-of-the-rings/amazon-to-produce-lord-of-the-rings-television-series-idUSKBN1DD293 http://ew.com/tv/2017/11/13/lord-of-the-rings-tv-series/

amusement park space ride is almost 50% off with red card - $11 and change. the cupcake cafe and the horse trailer seem like good deals at $25 but i only snagged the horse trailers. roller coasters for $65 before red card. still no great deals on the bumper cars.

Yeh similar to Tecso.

Bollocks. As if you’d ever be happy about anything to do with eBay. Or LEGO investing at all, for that matter...

https://www.theverge.com/2017/7/10/15946642/two-factor-authentication-online-security-mess 2 Factor Authentication isn't the answer .. the big tech companies know it and don't care because it won't ever make them money. Short term they need to do some type of 2FA AND also start disabling accounts that are inactive (even something like 3 months). You can come up with some creative ways to have accounts re-enabled using ID (just never save the ID on insecure servers) or tie the 2FA to a specific device ID - many high security firms use USB fobs - such as your phone. Sure you can lose the device, but if it's password protected that buys you time to cancel/change info. Long term, they should be working together with anyone who is interested to come up with something better.

Just ordered from SaH Women of NASA x2 Finn, Captain Phasma and Black Widow Brickheadz to qualify for Christmas 24 in 1, plus Snowglobe with O2 promotion also got £5 off using paypal Also got Ghostbuster HQ from TRU It’s so easy buying Lego!!! ?

Wow, that was fast, but it was on SD

20% @ TCB and free snow globe with a £15 spend. I can smell desperation and it’s not even BF week. And if the TCB doesn’t track at that rate you can always call Lego and cancel the order

Those custom roller coasters tend to use these links to pull the cars up to the top... https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=3711&name=Technic, Link Chain&category=[Technic, Link]#T=C The picture is blurry, but this is an example.. You'd have to modify the track layout so you have a higher peak on one side so it can roll around completely to start over. And it would also depend on whether you can get those links under the cars and above the tracks.... or if you can tie into the single rails as done here.

From what mad house did they escape? 20-29 on ebay....

Pretty sure this was a convo on Saturn V thread too and someone posted way earlier in this thread about availability.

Sometimes I think I have gone mad with buying a certain quantity, but then you guys come around the corner ?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-Star-Wars-Millennium-Falcon-UCS-75192-IN-HAND/272913925155?hash=item3f8af00423:g:oQEAAOSwsYpZ~LG7 Really dude, How can you build the boarding ramp on the wrong side of the ship. This is just disgusting to me.

With tomorrows delivery I should be around 150 AS's and that will probably be my limit unless I really start to see sparks fly towards the end. While I can't prove this I believe that there are a lot of schools that use this set so there will be a demand for it long after it's gone. 6166 & 5560 are still in amazons top 50 after all these years. I got rid of all of my 6166 years ago when it hit $60. Btw, I have some AS's with 06 for the seal code year but the last two shipments I got straight from the LEGO warehouse were 04 for the year.

I like some of these but I'm getting a Simpsons series two vibe. I'll try to pick up a set cheap once they're everywhere.

What I was trying to say was that you put it in the wrong thread.

Day trading OK for me...

Personally, I think that this "quick flipping " (buy yesterday, sell the other day for XXX profit) doesnt exactly quantify the term "investment", which I see as a kind of long term commitment to purchase something, keep it for a rather long period of time and sell it later with some (considerable) appreciation. THIS.. what you have been presenting here "quick flip" - buy on monday for 25 bucks - sell it on thursday for 75 bucks - is nothing less than some pawn shop behavior.. you might call it "investing".. but its not.. its simply buy in / sell off and the margin in between. but it has nothing with INVESTMENT. - afterwards (after posting this item) it crossed my mind that the actual term for this selling practice would be probably TRADING - accordingly to the Wall Street practice

I'd keep it, but hey, I'm Sanford.

So...MSRP?

blew through my last 3x jasmine exotic palace's at $52.95 each FBA - last of walmart clearance $9 each. easily available for $14.99 during its life. should have backed up the truck. the sky is the limit until another jasmine release.

It's funny, the game for me has always been wayyyy after EOL. Now, the "game is over" in 11 days of release.

That’s cheap entertainment, if $50 puts you on an emotional roller coaster.

Same here, one store $24.95 b4 coupon and another one $34.95...said Clearance.

Whenever things are going their way, some sellers love the free market and competition. It's brought up whenever a customer or Amazon reviewer is ticked off at scalping. But when someone, one of the many sellers whose independent actions make up the free market, acts independently, the same people dislike the free market. If you care one way or another how one seller decides to price his product, maybe you are one of those people who should be internalizing that "if you can't afford to lose it, don't invest it" statement I've seen here recently.

Math is hard... Accidentally only ordered enough parts for half the assembly, but here we are so far. Drew A LOT of inspiration from 10179 MOC engines that were floating around the forums, so big thanks to those amazing designers. Was also able to use the pool noodles behind the trans-blue elements to get a nice effect. Happy to answer any questions or take deconstructed pics.

I got lucky and bought a #75053 The Ghost locally for $75. It seems to be original seals.

www.ebay.com

So I had been trying to sell a ucs y-wing with box but no instructions that I had about $200 in. Not much luck so I decided to buy another one Made an offer of $317 shipped on one with instructions but no box which was accepted. I took the box off my auction and lowered the buy it now to $379 (from $499 obo with box) and it quickly sold. So now I have a complete set with box and instructions and am well in the black. Pretty happy how it shook out. Have a nice set to build and get listed this weekend

Then supply would have been higher and sales price lower, though. The winners from last year were so because the horde seemed to overlook them, despite all the retiring soon tags.

The trouble is I also like building modulars....an architecture sets.....and the winter village theme....and Star Wars.....and I am married to a very supportive but pragmatic woman
