Hi, I've just joined and thought that I should introduce myself. I've been an AFOL for around 10 years - I collect UCS Star Wars sets and run a Bricklink store (which hovers around 50K parts). I'm a member of Eurobricks (Fellow) and Brickset with the same username. I've been lurking for a while, but I'm always on the lookout for bargains so I thought that I should join up! Cheers, Robin

My son really wants the mansion just so he can get the indominraptor. I personally think the set is fairly hideous looking... I'm not really impressed with any of the JW2 sets..

If Moses calls off you gotta make due .

So I finally stopped by my local Toys R Us yesterday to see the amazing deals... and most of the shelves were still packed. I quickly found out why as nearly all of the premium brands were severely marked up in price. My favorites were the $19.99 Super Hero Mighty Micros, and the 50+ 75155 U Wings marked at $109.99. I decided to ask a manager what was up with the prices. I showed them the U-Wing on the Lego SAH site and let them know the MSRP was $79.99. The manager started yelling "THE PRICE ON THE SHELF IS THE PRICE LEGO SOLD IT TO US AT!!!!! WE ARE TAKING A LOSS AT 30% OFF SO BE GRATEFUL!!!". I did a little facepalm and headed towards the door. Now this is a store I have never had an issue at. I guess emotions are high strung trying to maximize profit while tricking the fools into believing they are getting a deal. It was clear why so many people were walking out of there without buying anything.

It’s listed under each item.

It’s hard to do that without spoilers.

If I hadn’t picked up a used Carousel in fantastic condition last month, I’d be extremely jealous.

Yep. She died of old age in the next movie or the 1 after. People in Houston, TX... Too soon??? The boat was to get students from train station to school in movie 1.

Yikes. Better be super cool on the inside or something. Looks like something I would build which is not a compliment. I get that they are going lower price point on this, but how do you have this set without R2 and C3PO?

$25 FREECASH back on $50 at KMart/Sears

Looks like the significantly reduced the piece count .. the eyes and rump are better on the new one, but I like the traditional brick built legs better on the old one.

There and back again with Shelob, Frodo, and Samwise plus mini Mirkwood spiders.

That's cold - you must have run over some eBay exec's dog ?

Got my box a couple days ago, gave all the minifigures out to a couple school classes, kids were thrilled. I know it's all about money and profit around here, but it's nice to see kids with genuine smiles and no strings attached.

We also saw Ghostbusters stuff released well after the original movies and Ecto 1 wasn´t exactly a slow seller.

Wow - As a crazy person myself - Trust me when I say that you are nuts!

I not worried at all. Well actually, I started selling my Harry Potter sets when I first heard rumors of the new Harry Potter sets for 2018. These are my sets with boxes, I actually have tons without boxes. But by mid summer, I should have sold all of my Harry Potter inventory.
