  4. Built 4842 with my 5yo from a bulk buy. Still need to find all the figs floating around in the bulk before I list it up for sale. My kid built most of it while I pulled the pieces for him. He loves Lego just like his daddy!

  6. Bezos is giving ALOT more than that. Bezos is spending billions of his own money building his own rocket launch complex and developing infrastructure that will allow the NEXT generation of entrepreneurs to take advantage of very cheap off planet transportation. His vision is to make earth a park and take manufacturing off planet. Just as he and his company benefited immensely from the already developed highway and aircraft transportation systems on earth he is donating his talents and energies to put all of that in place for the next generation to exploit almost limitless energy and resources in our solar system where the only roadblock is the massive expense to get off planet. We are entering the next phase as a human race where government becomes less important and private enterprise takes over almost everything. Musk, Bezos and Branson are leading the way in space, not NASA. Bezos, Dimon and Buffet are also going to revolutionize healthcare in the USA. To help others you must make it first. Gates made it along time ago. Bezos is just getting started.

  8. Stopped by today and the entire store was 50% off except LEGO which was at 20% off. Funny thing is the only set I could find was the the nexo knights blue castle for $119ish. I think they had the regular price around 150. I also found some DJ mini figures. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum

  11. Been today in 2 Toys R Us shops one in Croydon the other one in Merton. Both shops with mostly cleaned shelves, pathetic discount on lego 15% (MUST GO CLEARANCE OMG!) rest of toys 20% and plush toys 30% wanted to buy some funko pop but nothing left ;( Creator Expert are gone in both shops, hoards of Batman and Star Wars small and medium sized boxes. Rest RPP with tag -15% at the till. which is pathetic because in Sainsbury's on the other side of the street all City Sets and Batman Sets were discounted 20%. not planning to go to TRUagain. sail away T R U.

  12. Much to my son’s dismay, my wife built 60146 - Stunt Truck today. He got a few steps in and took a break. She sat down and next thing we knew she was done.

  13. Here is the short. There are always scumbags at the top and bottom. Always taking advantage of a system. Name them, who cares? In my experience advising people I have always seen expansion which includes new employees and their own opportunity when business owners reduce expenses, which in 100% of the cases taxes is the largest expense. Just today I met with a doctor and in reducing his taxes 60% we are,putting money in his employees pocket, that's real. That being said, I am a minority in the USA, ethnically speaking. I worked from 10 years old to today, mowing lawns, delivering pizza to advising millionaire. All the cards were stacked against me and my brothers. Never once did I think because someone has more, they owe me money or other benefits. Single mom making 7.25 an hour. I worked full time through,college as did my brothers, high school too. No handouts. My parents gave me 500 for college, thats it, that's all they had. The USA is about opportunity. I worked hard, I am a "minority", I almost failed three times. I wanted more for me and my family. I worked hard, harder than many. I am in my late thirties, I own a business, I employ people, I am upper middle class. No one gave me anything. In this country you can be what you want to be, if you want to work. Never once did I think that I was owed "things" because I was poor. I earned it! Entitlement is a manufactured belief. Both of my brothers also own their own businesses, architecture and graphic design. Poor, very poor, as I was doesn't make me entitled to take other people success. The USA is a remarkable place to call home, where I could be what I wanted to be, not defined by my race or my socioeconomic class! There are always scumbags.

  14. In the USA those LEGOLAND tickets are given away with any purchase, in catalogs, and you can find them online, etc. I've seen so many advert for free tickets I find it hard to believe they actually have the nerve to call them "exclusive." I agree... LAME!
