For those hating on the SW Buildables: 75107 Jango Fett - $50 - FBA also sold a damaged box one for $32 shipped on EBay. Buy-in was $7 each.

You mean this one?

Will this retire before the first true black card benefit??

I go under Reece Cellar Jr III

It’s time for all of us to begin complaining on Twitter !

While I fully expected the benefits to be bad, I didn't expect them to be nonexistent. I'm not sure why I still expect anything from TLG at this point. I'm tired of companies making claims like this that aren't carried out or about exclusivity of items that aren't true.

I would like to complain that the site owner doesn't even have a Black VIP card. How is this possible? not a good sign that the person that has every set known to man and has never sold a single one of them does not even want one. I tried to change my name on my account before they printed it so it would say QF LL for first and last name, must of just missed the cutoff

Well, I guess this is sort of like burning it down. http://www.nme.com/news/music/police-raid-rave-at-toys-r-us-store-2288378

Haha, yep. Every story you've heard about from other stores about not letting you use a coupon, or not matching a price, or withholding product, they are all true at this store. They would rather not sell something than help you out. I rarely go there unless it's for something exclusive like a polybag I can't get elsewhere. I won't miss it.

It will be the... greatest uprising in history. It will be... amazing!

Yeah, looks like a Ponzi scheme where even the first investors don´t get anything!

I sold two assembly squares on Craigslist for $200 each, with Target buy-in.

The new 180 day limit interval sucks .

I'll look for your tweet, retweet, and complain myself. I won't reference BrickPicker.

You´ll get one cheaper in the not too distant future - consider it a as a plus.

Seems the only winners so far are TLG and the resellers who sold the early release versions before the VIP card benefits - or lack of emerged.

Merged

I didn’t know dinosaurs liked roasted Porg.

I say no chance.

I received my two orders of 17 minifigures from Lego Shop at Home and one order did have the policeman (got lucky).

Well...the new cowboy and cactus finally made it into our western themed train station...

Target sells on Facebook now? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For those who might not know what the differences are (see below) - Note that the eyebrows/beard hair is also black on the rare one.

The Ghost set was released July 2014. Here is how to read the seal codes: https://bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/7014/what-does-the-4-digit-number-embossed-on-my-lego-set-represent. Kudos to Phil B for answering this question on the included web site link! If your set has a seal code close to July 2014 you very likely have the rare minifigure.

I still have over 50 of those, but I haven't tried to sell any yet. I'm waiting for it to completely disappear from retail. I haven't even really been looking to see how it's doing yet. I have faith in Rey. She won't let me down, and at a $10 buy in my concern isn't at Steam Roller level...yet.

£7 from a carboot sale, had to replace some missing parts on Bricklink though, total buy-in was around £30.

March 30, 2018. This is a date that will forever be remembered. I can get a little emotional at times. As an adult, there are a few instances when I've shed a tear. I cried when my son was born. I cried again a year later when my daughter was born. I cried tears of joy when my beloved Green Bay Packers won Super Bowl 31 after three decades of mediocrity, and again when they won Super Bowl 45. The last time I cried was two years ago this April when my Mom passed away. March 30, 2018. Today is another day that I've sobbed like a baby. Upon waking up for work, I checked my phone like I always do. Waiting for me was a PayPal notification. A large one. I checked my Bricklink account, and it appears that some blessed soul has decided that they needed some Steam Rollers in their life. Yes, some Steam Rollers. All of them. 27 to be exact. Gone. Purchased by an unknown person. A risk taker. A gambler. A guardian angel, perhaps? I began this saga with over 50 of those Steam Rollers. I'd sell one here, one there through multiple platforms, slowly chipping away at that number. I whittled it down to 27. Now I have 0. They are gone. The purchase price was just a shade over $1k. I'll make a few bucks on each one after the usual fees and shipping, but that's not the point in this circumstance. The nightmare is finally over. March 30, 2018 is my Independance Day.

What is astounding is that so many of the working population (Amazon and Walmart, etc employees) earn hardly subsistence wages such that they require negative taxes just to exist. The percentages quoted above are nothing more than the result of astounding income inequality.

You might not think it's a day 1 purchase yet, but TLG knows how to hook you now: LIMITED EDITION, COLLECTIBLE LEGO TECHNIC DRIVER LICENSE VIP CARD Get your new LEGO Technic Bugatti Chiron on 1 August, 2018 and receive a collectible driver license VIP card with your name on it! With the card, you'll enjoy a full year* of Technic-themed offers throughout 2019! *Offers may not actually occur "throughout" the year. Probably more like once or twice. And don't ask what these things might be, just trust us, they'll be awesome**. And even if there ends up being nothing extra offered, you've got the special VIP card and the great set, so do you really need anything else? **Items may not be that awesome.

Turns out I was 16 out of 17 for smooshing last week. Accidentally got two Cat Girls instead of Dragon Boy. Picked up Dragon Boy today, no problem. But....people suck. About half the bags at this Walmart (the same one I was at last week), had been cut open. The minifigs were still inside. But obviously someone didn’t want to bother smooshing or just grabbing.

Paying zero tax helps too https://www.seattlepi.com/business/tech/article/Amazon-paid-no-US-income-taxes-for-2017-12713961.php

That’s because Gates gives away billions of his fortune every year. Bezos literally only gives millions.
