Found a second hand kids store. Felt like I was going back in time.

It’s an easy Star Wars MOC for the best movie in the series.

Was at the mall last night and walked into a Disney Store. I was bewildered when I saw two Star Was Millennium Falcon 75105 just sitting on the shelf with a sticker price of priced at $106.99 At the register, I asked if there was any more available and the cashier said, they have more how many do I need. Did I want to take all of them.... I said I'll take as many as I can afford, but if you have 50 + units, I can't afford that many I asked them if they can check their stock first. Cashier comes back and she was told that 4 more were available. I told the nice cashier OK, I will take all 4 plus the 2 units on the counter. When I was getting rung up. The 4 sets in the back were not 75105 as they claimed, but were First Order Star Destroyer 75190 for $169.95. LOL. Item was scanned and it was marked $106.99 each. So I walked out with the 2x 75105 @ 106.xx + a Buzz Lightyear 12" Talking Action Figure @ $20 plus had to buy an reusable ECO bag for 50 cents.

My tenth modular building, purchased with VIP points. Plus some other sets I've been meaning to pick up. (Will quick flip the dogs)

*Cue Exciter here.

not the flu he has just become sentient and learned that 20% off is the real rrp

Found a redesign on reddit I like a bit.

Indeed. Astral projection Luke died wield a light saber but that version of Luke looked different from the old Luke as shown on the box.

Can confirm the new packs out and about. Wonder woman is in effect.... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

But airports ALWAYS do well. I'd go back for it if I were you.

False Advertising: Luke does not wield a light saber in this movie. The flashback and astral projection do not count.

finally a decent price. pretty much every target in my zone has this set marked down to $27.98 clearance before red card. getting to be last call with this target excluisve, sold out at shop at home.

Well, wahddya know

Or Hounslow...

I think opinions on here are very often clearly skewed based on personal situation. I have amassed about £1200 (current retail) worth of sets for medium term keep including F40, S5, DB, YS, etc. This has taken four months. They stand me in absolutely nothing - essentially free - because of sets like 70917. These sort of flips are perfect for me. Mine has sold at £85 cash, with a two minute local ad being the only work involved. The same margin with other ‘turkeys’ like police stations, ski lifts, bb8’s, heavy assault walkers, etc. If anybody can make £15 easier for a few minutes work then I take my hat off to you. I appreciate everybody has different agendas and there are different types of investing going on. Whilst I read the comments of others with interest and value opinions of those with far greater experience than me, for here and now my personal plan / hobby continues to work without stress, in my own time, and in a way I am more than happy with.

Well said Feed - really balanced view. There is a modest to decent profit at that price not a super one. too many people just go to polar extremes. It's either a turd or pure gold for them, when in practice I think there's relatively few of either spectrum, but rather a spread across those.

Of course there is value in the set. If you can’t make money buying 8 batman figs and 1456 parts at £70 you’re really in the wrong game. Are there better areas in put your capital, well that’s a different question and the answer is probably, yes. But I wouldn’t pay any attention to the comments here anymore, if i were you, only the negative opinions remain. Those of of us that see the upside and opportunities, don't bother anymore.

I'm not sure you can always trust those BiN prices as often there are a few outliers that skew the data and, when you add in ebay and PayPal fees, the effort of packing and posting, and then potential for returns or complaints it can very quickly become a pain in the arse. Personally, I love the minifigs in these Batman sets and have bought a few for myself for that reason. However, the models themselves don't inspire. I actually prefer a lot of the Ninjago sets aesthetically. But, at this point, it's all just opinions. I'll be watching with interest, that's for sure.

pretty sure the big set is just a Thanos set too. Guess didn't want to many Milanos out there?? yeah 76107-1: Thanos: Ultimate Battle technically no mention of Milano, just in reviews calling it the new Milano, maybe movie spoiler. Just thought it was funny with such a generic name

Just realized that IF the $5 in points cards were indeed multiple use per account, and IF I had spotted them before I started checking out, I could have bought that lot for $44+tax by ringing the first 11 up full price with $5 back each, and then using the accumulated points plus the points I had to buy the remainder Or buy all 30 one by one and end up with $150 in points for $120 spent .... What a missed opportunity! *wink*

Los Angeles area. Local stores around me still have Hermione, PPG Team, Green PPG, Knight Rider, and Chase. Ended up finding 20 more Beetlejuice on an endcap.

Some Open Box Deals at Blinq....search because the links are broken Mini Cooper @ 64.29 Heavy Lift Copter @89.59

Are they BOGO yet?

lol true, but since it is only available in store this might be the last chance for Canadians to get one. Web Warriors was similar with its new 89.99 price and it dipped to $71 yesterday which was enough to get me to bite, and I did the same with the CLAAS when it dropped to $127. I like those two better for future prospects but who knows...this set clearly won't be widely hoarded and maybe the series finale of Rebels will spark some interest. I only have a few at any rate, even at $75 I wouldn't want a dozen of these.

I dont know if I should post this. Since it's a 1 day deal... and ended... TRU LEGO Star Wars DJ Building Minifigure (40298) is $5 for 2 in store today and ONLY today. No Sign, no poster, nothing.

76052 Classic batman batcave $169 Cheapest I’ve ever seen it http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Super-Heroes-Batman-Classic-TV-Series-Batcave-76052/47348012

"Hello I work for Lego, I fixed this for you."

I bought a Caterham Seven for $44.78 (44% off) via Walmart on the Google Express app w/20% off coupon. It might be the last chance to get these at a good discount.

CHAOS rather than LIFO seems to be their method. Perhaps these are just boxes they found during inventory at the back of the shed.

I’ve got a couple already. It’s hoarded all over the forums and I’m waiting before getting any more. Patience with the promo will pay off, I’m convinced having seen the hundreds piled head high in store ?

I debated putting it in the complaint thread, but I'm trying to be positive https://wtop.com/stafford-county/2018/02/stafford-co-man-arrested-1-8k-lego-scam/

Oh I also liked all the minifigures, have multiple graduate degrees from ivy league.... and regardless of their marketing intent... they can...

The whole point of blind packaging is to have consumers spend more than they normally would to get what they want. If TLG wanted everyone to pick the ones they wanted they could have made them individually labeled foil packs with the character on the front. Sure, some people can feel what they need and it's easy for them, but the average person has no idea how to do this and they just buy them blindly.

Yay, you went to MIT. I have plenty of math edumacation. Heck, I've even had to use it in real life to add some numbers a few times. Until these latest series, it's always been exactly 16 unique figures and 60 figures to a box. If they wanted it to be even, they could have just put 3 full sets in a box ... that's 3 x 16 = 48 for those who didn't go to MIT. Still would have made a nice shaped box with 3 rows of figures per box. They could have also been a little more even if they wanted a box of 60 for whatever strange reason. 12*4 + 4*3 = 60 (sorry, that math is a little more complicated, remember your order of operations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations). So how long have you been collecting CMFs and following LEGO as a company?

I think liar is a strong word, but I don't think she's being completely honest. Go back and look at the figures that are 5x in the series and tell me those are the ones you want most. There's a reason they are the stragglers when the box is about empty.

exactly 3 of each one per box? I don't think that's true. The guest of Tara Wike (Lead CMF Designer) said in this interview (starting at 2:40) "They're not randomly distributed, but they're not equally distributed?" and she confirmed, "Some are more frequent". "If we think one will be really popular, we try to make it more frequent."

The moc and the diner itself look like friends sets. The ugliest modular by a wide margin.

Thanks to B1ueseven & Elkkthunder! Got friends for Tower Bridge!

I cannot tell if he was being genuine or if he is mocking the re-release like we do with the new the DS when he mention LEGO made a color change to ONE of the cross axles and added a brick sperator... (at 44 seconds into the video)

My job gave out a candy dispenser for everyone. I didn't like the candy but the dispenser looked nice enough. I built a cherry blossom tree inside.
