  6. Tokyo & Dubai Skylines will be released on January 1, 2020. I'm pleased to share the first in-depth review of the Dubai set on my Brick Architect website. It's a better set than I had expected, mostly due to the absolutely fantastic rendition of the curvaceous sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, in the High-Tech Architectural style. ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡ: #21052 Dubai Skyline As you will see, the other three buildings in the model aren't quite as good, but the overall effect is effective. I hope you enjoy the review, and please let me know if you have any questions I can answer! LINK: https://brickarchitect.com/2019/review-21052-lego-dubai-skyline/ Sincerely, ---tom

  9. The process I have used to get around the errors was to go to my lego.com profile page (https://identity.lego.com/en-US/profile) in a separate tab and forcibly logout. then go back to SAH in the other tab, reload the page so it knows i'm logged out, and add the stuff to the cart without being logged in. Then checkout as normal and log back in to complete the transaction. Rinse and repeat if doing multiple orders.

  10. bogus bricks did steal, but they gave the people what they wanted when they jacked this from an afol years back. I agree with @crayxlp where it looks better than the corner garage, but so does your exgirlfriend in the morning. The bookstore facade is rather nice, but its so tiny that it gives the feel of a creator 3-1. They could have expanded on the 'Birch Book' store and left out the very uncommon color small flat. just my 2 cents.

  11. Watched an item on eBay for months entitled "3 Star Wars Legos Sets With Mixed Pieces (Some Pieces May Be Missing) ". Listing contained 75059 Sandcrawler, 75060 Slave I, and 75095 Tie Fighter. Listing started at close to $500 and slowly dropped. Listing dropped for over two months and eventually was sitting there at $185+$35 shipping. eBay sent out that "we screwed up sending you that better coupon, so here's one not as good" for 10% off, so I figured I would finally message the seller. Seller says she knew nothing about Lego or Star Wars. I explained to her what a minifigure was and if she could pull them all out of the box and take a picture of them. Turns out, every figure was there, plus a few extra. So I asked her to change the price from $185+$35 shipping, to $220 with free shipping so I could maximize the coupon. I ended up paying $213.20 after tax, plus $22 in eBay bucks back. I broke down and inventoried everything over the last couple days, and all 3 UCS sets were complete. It also included a complete (less minifigures) Ecto 1 and a Snowspeeder Microfighter.

  14. To clarify: I also wanted a single big open building like the bank or Emporium. I was just trying to find positives in what was presented.

  16. Went by my Lego store this morning. They has a mountain of these with more in the back. They expect them to last longer than the tree. They did have the big gingerbread in stock but they were going fast, 4 sold while I was there. Mini bat still there too, they will give both that and the ginger with 1989 batmobile.

  17. Lego: I’m not mad I’m disappointed. I was hoping for an Emporium-type full bookstore with a coffee shop, escalator, etc. my critique of Emporium is that it is bare besides the escalators, those are really the main attraction. Thought they could fix that problem with this one. Bunch of books, book signing table. I hate the half-ones like PS. The double walls decrease an already small amount of space. Should have fully committed to the bookstore. Unlike Diner, AS and CG, where I was an early buyer, this will be a wait for sale type thing, which I think will be the case for many

  20. Thank you for this! Found a Ninjago docks in stock locally at 20% off. Another $50 off brought it down to $165 which is 41% off. Not bad at all. Should be a fun build.

  23. Not big savings, but https://www.fleetfarm.com/ has some sets that aren't discounted often (yet) for 20% off. Includes Harry Potter Clock Tower, Rocket Launch Control, Downtown Fire Brigade, Lloyd's Titan Mech, and others.

  26. Filoni wrote and directed this one. There were lots of good easter eggs in this one. Ming-Na Wen was awesome, of course. In great homage to the classic westerns, you have our cowboy talking to the locals, to secure passage across their lands. In 60 seconds time, Filoni gave us some true depth to the Tuskin Raiders that we've never had before. A language, a means to communicate, desires, and motivation. That is, IMHO, a great way to build lore without being heavy-handed about it.

  27. Just in case, I always screenshot my order confirmation page with the order number and products ordered. Because sometimes they do take forever to send the confirmations. That way I at least have proof of the order in case I need to call them later due to a website glitch.

  31. Sold my wife's copy of the 75192 UCS Falcon for $650 as the local listings were starting to get plentiful and I don't want to hold this forever since it's not retiring. A much worse return than the 2 hour hold, but still good enough for me. I don't have a fancy bot, but I did have two browser windows. One tabbed town to the right button, and the other with a mouse over it. Smashed "enter" with the left hand, and clicked with the right in succession.

  32. For those getting errors, I've been seeing those on and off after the Black Friday snafu as well. My solution is to: Empty cart. Log out (from all browsers/devices if necessary). Open incognito/private window and go to lego.com. Add everything to your bag. Checkout. Now sign in to SAH. Checkout securely (even if using Paypal, don't Express Checkout). Site should take you through shipping/contact steps instead of having them pre-filled. Checkout (if using Paypal, select the "One-Touch" remember me) Close incognito/private window, rinse, repeat.

  33. Based on my current strategy I would have zero as well, despite loving the set. But alas, I have a few collecting dust. I stick with, if it can't fit in a 24x16x4 box, it's not a worthy investment.

  42. From a reseller perspective I agree. But from the LEGO fan in me, I’m always excited to hear about the next modular. The buildings are unique, and they are themed well. The speculation is fun, and even if the rumors are correct, what I imagine is never as cool as what they come up with. With the endless redos of police, fire and Star Wars, the yearly modular is always nice for it’s ability to stand on its own.

  43. Post office? Is there a line out the door of elderly patrons, a disgruntled worker cutting the lawn using a refurbished garage sale Toro, a soccer mom strutting in with yoga pants and Etsy packages followed by a beat-down middle aged man with a stack of eBay packages and all the workers on break in the back vaping?
