it they do this, gonna be nightmare for box licker

OfferUp, lady is selling a 70620 Ninjago City, posted about 15 hours ago. Tag on the ad says selling for $250, description says $240. A bit high for me, so I send a note saying if she doesn't get a buyer that that price, I'll throw down a standing offer of $200. Not long after, she messages to accept the $200 offer - I was surprised, figured she'd wait a few days on $240. Get to talking about where to meet up, we agree on 230pm today. Then she says "I have two of these by the way." Ooooohhh, OK, I see now - a red flag that is. Look closer at the photo, it's in the back of a car, you can see the 2nd one behind it, and also a third large set but cannot see the set number. So I ask her how she got two and now selling them so cheap. She says her sister bought them for her kids, can't find the receipt to return them, now her sisters car is broke down, needs the money to fix it, and she's stuck in Minneapolis with 5 kids until she can fix the car. OK I tell her, but too many red flags for me, I'm deciding not to buy. Her: "you have a lot of Lego sets for sale on your OfferUp also." Me: "yes, I run a side business of buying and selling, and I have receipts for all 250+ Lego sets I own." Her: "well I don't appreciate you judging me and my sister." Me: "Fair enough, but I'm not buying this today. Good luck" I'm actually building Ninjago City with my kids right now, and it's AWESOME. I'd love to have 2 of these on the shelf at 33% off, but can't support their lifestyle. I'm betting if I called the Lego Store at Mall of America, they'd be two short in the last few days. I think that's the only store in Minneapolis that would carry this set. She now has it listed as "Sold" and I reported it as "I think it's stolen." Also, during this process, for whatever reason, she changed her profile picture in OfferUp. It went from a "trashy tatted girl" theme to a "trashy tatted girl with infant" theme. Be careful (and ethical) out there.

Long live Clayface.

I had the pleasure of building an intricate LEGO Ideas model of Machu Picchu, built in the style of the official LEGO Architecture sets. The model was designed by Diego Baca, a proud Peruvian who wanted to help LEGO enthusiasts learn more about the globally recognized UNESCO World Heritage site. Not only did Diego build the model both digitally and using LEGO bricks, he also created a beautiful instruction manual in the style of official LEGO Architecture sets, and a matching glossy box. I had a lot of fun building the model using the easy-to-follow directions. The completed model is immediately recognizable, and looks great next to the official sets, especially the recent Great Wall set which also features historic architecture in a mountainous landscape. For an longer, in-depth review of the set and an interview with Diego about his project, you can read the whole article at: https://brickarchitect.com/2019/lego_ideas_machu-picchu-diego-baca/ If you want a chance to build it, be sure to vote for it on the LEGO Ideas site! Sincerely, —Tom

The Disney/Fox merger is making some immediate changes.

I bought one for the Heck of it. You never know...Maybe Walt Disney signed a few.

So. is this a no-show for Target? Not in-store, not online. Bust is a bust? Oops, seems like its the 11th...not 1st.

I guess a bunch of people were able to order the Cherry Picker yesterday for $3.99 until Target made the product page unavailable, but I did confirm via photo and receipt the DPCI is correct.

Target's got that screwed up in their inventory system. I went last week to get the Cherry Pickers with that DPCI and all they found when they scanned the packages was the Naboo Starfighter.

wait the hoard / horde is wise??

Also found a new (to me) poly at Walmart, 30363 City theme Race Boat. If you're looking for polybags at Walmart, check the Easter section that may not be near the toys, there are a bunch of Easter toys and Lego has a display stand with Minecraft, Tulips, Star Wars, City, Friends, Ninjago small sets.

Found the 30461 Podracer polybag at Target today on an endcap with all the 20th Anniversary Star Wars sets. All the previous Targets I have visited only had the Snowspeeder and Naboo Starfighter polys, must have been waiting for an April 1 set date. DPCI for all three: 30461 Podracer 204-00-4899 30384 Snowspeeder 204-00-4845 30383 Naboo Starfighter 204-00-0546

Look up leaving cars and coffee on Youtube if you don't get the joke.

If you set it up correctly (using the GSP), yes - it would be shipped by you to a local location (who will ship it to them). If you didn't set it up correctly - well, at least shipping to Canada isn't that bad.

That’s from Singapore if I’m not mistaken.

Always amazed at the support this event brings. Thank you from long time SPSMOM - my daughter graduated last year and is doing well in her classes in High School and my son is currently in 6th grade at St. Paul School with great grades and long time friends. Can't wait to see this year's prizes - maybe I'll finally win?????

Posting watermarked prelim photos runs the risk of being loaded into the back of a black SUV and never being seen again.

76124 War Machine Buster 20% off as well at Target

Not a fantastic deal, but if you wanted a 76125 Hall of Armor right out of the gate, Target has it for 20% off.

People would be thrilled to have an opening day flip as good as Exo now... It deserves at least that nod.

That´s what they said about Exo Suit!

The "real" LEGO raffle starts on Monday.

76119 — LEGO Batman Batmobile: Pursuit of The Joker 342 pieces | Ages 7+ | $29.99 USD

batcycle? Is it just me or does that look like a mini tumbler?

That Clayface is pretty bad.

If you’re listing obo but can’t factor in a 5% loss over listing price....why are you bothering with obo? Not specifically directed at you but to anyone in general. If I list an item as Or Best Offer, I’ve already calculated and accepted the sale at 15% less than my asking price. Makes it simple when those -5% offers come in. Accepted.

Buyer's remorse kicked in... I'm experiencing that now w/ an offer I made and now the counteroffer difference is $4 on a $50-ish set....but I'm realizing that I didn't "really" want the set even at the reduced price...or at least I want another set more. I haven't been at it long...but I figured out that if I decline a "reasonable offer (within 5%)" they usually don't come back. I recognize the potential for insult.

4 more days and mods can change the title of this thread to April Fools 2019.

Thanks for the 4/11 </dadjoke>
