Confirmed now. In the January calendar. I love it! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

It contains 2,480 pieces and retails for US $169.99/CA $219.99/DE 149.99€/UK £129.99/DK 1399.00 DKK.

This was a fun build and looks awesome.

I'm moving all these Mixel posts to the Order Status thread. Please continue the conversation there.

Makes me think of Back to the Future.

abomination on hoth

I am sorry, is this a remake??? I thought LEGO already released a better looking light cycle set ?????

It’s the monorail, I believe.

Buy a packet of crisps then.

Your smugness is assumed by everyone to be at a constant high level. No need to remind us.

Conspiracy theorists may want to take a look at the sets featured on the back of the box....

Now that is a set that could be remade.

kiwi mart for 175$ at WM

Long overdue Spicoli set finally here!

Not 100 percent sure if this has been mentioned but the ship that everyone can't get enough off is now SOLD OUT on the uk lego site. First time I've seen this happens to it (retire please lol) maybe getting ahead of myself haha

That boxer is one weird looking dude. Pretty sure he's getting in shape to go do some low budget porn. The set is a cool change to the series, though. I do like it.

If I was a betting man, I'd say they are keeping this re-release for 2019 to coincide with SW Movie 9 (and I would not be surprised to see Starkiller Base II in SW 9 either )

Freshly baked this morning....

Hmmmm. I guess I didn’t read the email correctly. I thought Lego said my black VIP CARD was in the mail about a month ago. Apparently it must have said, “Congratulations on your $800+ purchase of a really cool box of molded plastic blocks and choking hazards!! As a reward we will be sending you and 10,000 other people a one of a kind, but completely non personalized and easily reproducible laminated piece of thin cardboard/ thick paper!!! We would like you to know how much we appreciate your love of Lego! This “special” VIP card, which can also easily be worn on a lanyard (not included) by poking a hole through the top, will make you and many others eligible for, yet to be determined, AMAZINGLY HO-HUM discounts and 15 minutes of early access to our “crashed servers” on occasional future sales!! This card, which you should have already received, is coming!!! We, at Lego, are thinking, very hard might I add, about potentially sending it possibly in the near to distant future; almost 50/50 to 73% chance one way or the other, maybe, but most definitely eventually. Thank you again for YOU, but mostly your money!!! Sincerely yours, Lego” For those still waiting just to buy the set, I apologize for my sarcasm.

eBay has plenty of traffic and you can do substantial volume, the issue is in the self fulfillment aspect. It's just such a pain in the...neck and hands and elbows and shoulders and feet and back and..

Agreed

Bad performer to a worse performer, good move.

Sure someone would take them off your hands if you had a change of heart...

Here's why: And this is after all 50,000 members of this site ordered 50 each. They must have a cargoship full of semi's full of these sets docking at the warehouse. Not so sure anymore about the "deal" I got this morning when I placed my order ......

Jasmine's Palace $40, buy-in $4.50. Sunshine Ranch $100, buy-in $17. 2x Pumpkin's Royal Carriage $30 total, buy-in $4. Duplo My First Bricks, $40, buy-in $16.

56 Friends sets $100 Sealed Mall $50

Sellers are weak. Everyone could raise these to $75 and they'd still sell quickly. Those folks on Amazon don't shop at LEGO.

I had to pass on em. credit card is walking funny after the treatment it got on the weekend!!

How is this 30% off, that's a joke. Feel sorry for those who fall for the 30% off when price is jacked up. Heck, they should change retail to $300 and slap 50% on it.

Edit: 15% was applied eventually. Had to go back and explain everything but it worked in the end. Some highlights: -Batman Movie sets (not the biggest though) -ATST -Rogue One sets -City VIP -Some Super Heroes, only one I bought was GOG Bad parts -no big sets, no new Star Wars on sale -some sets just didn't make sense... they had City Airport (which was on sale last year) but no sale -some sets had only 1 or 2 copies Good luck to everyone!

Those are reasonable arguments but there is one factor that will decide retirement that you didn´t mention - sales. There are still enough people buying modulars (you yourself said you have made your number) that a repeat of TH is now unlikely. If it were a poor seller, they´d try other strategies like discounts or 3x VIP promos before killing it off.

This could be a guess as good as anyone's... Taking the top 10 of Most Expensive LEGO sets of all time from this site: https://www.dailydot.com/parsec/most-expensive-lego-sets/ (which took their input from Brickpicker ): Eiffel Tower Death Star II Market Street UCS ISD Mr. Gold --> Kind of followed up with the upcoming Platinum R2-D2 raffle! Statue of Liberty Cafe Corner Grand Carousel --> Remade in smaller version as 10257 Carousel Taj Mahal --> Re-released UCS MF --> Remade and enhanced And we see a pattern emerge. Take the most expensive and highly coveted LEGO sets and bring out a remake or rerelease as a 'fan service'. I do not see a remake of the Statue of Liberty or the Death Star II coming out any time soon. But never say never ... A hommage to Cafe Corner could be a possibility, but it won't be identical to the original Cafe Corner. In my opinion an enhanced remake of the UCS ISD is the most likely set to come out, maybe as soon as 2018.

Easy option by Lego - steps: 1. Remake a Barracuda set 2 Remove a ship 3 Add a helicopter :-)

All this means is it won't be GBH. It will still sell FBA for $50 next Christmas, and $60+ the year or two after that. You just paid $10 for it. If you guys have better sets that will be 5x buy-in next Christmas, slide on into my DMs.

Not to mention the lack of sleep

I talked to Jet.com on twitter and according to them we should be getting 9 items for $16ish. Bought a few as a test, will report back.

As soon as you hit 100 sales and 1k within the 12 months you're gold. At least that's how I remember it. Thank you dimension packs! TRS is great, but ebay just really lacks in bringing in enough traffic to sell in volume.

Heads up, lego city advent calendar 2017 for 9.97 at my local costco. John

yes, gotta complete the collection

Rotten shortlist anyway. Roll on next submissions.

How I feel every time someone mentions "so many people being happy" to get another chance at a previously rare LEGO item.

Oh. Here it is. My google fu is pretty bad and slow. https://www.fredmeyer.com/asset/P11W3_FF_Coupon?cid=ema.pro.SSE_FM_HOLIDAY_FF_20171122_FM Also, there is a 10% home bonus, if you're buying other toys. Doesn't work on LEGO. https://www.fredmeyer.com/asset/P11W4_FM_Base_WCE_Coupon?cid=ema.pro.PDC_SS_FM_20171125_FM_BASE

It's from a pdf somewhere on fredmeyer.com. I haven't found the original. I'll go ahead and post the screenshot in a minute. Just saw it on a local fb group.

i told my wife. i doubt she grasps the magnitude.

I keep reading this as the sunshine smurf van.

Black Pearl and Queen Anne's Revenge. Paid a total of about £240, including Bricklink costs for completing them.

Because these are new ground it will be interesting to see which way they go EOL. My money is on up, but that's because I've got a few stashed.. ?

Maybe Jamie was busy with the interior for the Cafe Corner vault release.
