The missus just finished this. It’s way bigger than I was expecting and very detailed.

Turned a book shelf destined for the dump into a nice piece for the baby's room. (took about 2 weeks between sanding, painting and staining.)

my kid built them. I contributed by applying the stickers.

You were missing something

So many sets, so little funds... and the wife thought I was slowing down my purchases

I really don't see how they can offer such great deals on huge sets, express ship them internationally (for free), and still make a profit.

FYI Zavvi has the Technic Defender on sale again for $144 with free shipping. It is also tax free (depending on your state.) Use the code DEFENDER at checkout.

Its a terrible seller, complete dud

It’s by far the most accurate, comprehensive and publicly available list out there for EU that I know of. Short term changes may occur, but they keep that list very well maintained with all recent Information coming in once they have released it (they added 10257 to last years list at a later point in time, for example).

They are usually very accurate. However, often times Lego will extend the EOL date of very popular sets which is why I'd use this list as a guideline only.

Sold one of my two NYC, I'm on track.

I like how when I go through and look at the pictures of the sets, I can't tell one Hidden Side set from the other! The art killed that series. I think they have some neat things in it so it's too bad.

Today it's nice to see that BrickPicker has achieved the milestone of hitting 100,000 registered users. Sure all of those members are not active, but regardless it's a nice achievement to hit, something Ed and I never would have thought would have hit years ago. New and better things are on the horizon, so stay tuned! Thank you for registering @lasloo!!!!!!!

Thanks for the tip! My listings were done on my phone. I'll use my desktop next time and see what happens after a week.

Zavvi also has 60229 for $120 (20% off) w/ free shipping, use code LC10: https://us.zavvi.com/toys-lego/lego-city-rocket-assembly-and-transport-space-port-60229/12540191.html

Ok thanks everyone for the responses. It was not very clear to see with the deal being expired. Consider me educated and let's not hijack the thread based on my ineptitude! To get things back on track, I did find a similar deal for the Hidden Side Shrimp Shack Attack, for those interested. It's 20% off and bundled with a $10 e-gift card. However with the line being discontinued there may very well be 50%+ discounts coming in the future so something to consider : https://www.walmart.com/nco/LEGO-Hidden-Side-Shrimp-Shack-Attack-with-free-10-Walmart-Gift-Card/629874356

This only happens to me when I list on my phone through the app. If I go through my iPad or desktop, it stays where I set it. (Crosses fingers this continues...) I think some people have said to start the listing on the phone, take the pictures, then finish on another device.

It was 20% off at Walmart PLUS a $10 gift card for each one you bought. Assuming you bought 4 total and applied the $20 in gift cards to the second purchase you ended up getting 4 for essentially 30% off. So, most definitely better than Target.

I try to avoid in person pick-up. Too many weirdos out there.

6 base plates from Target. 6 base plates from Target.

Well well so I have to rethink my business model then 🤨

Crazy that Hidden Side is done! Some of those sets haven't even been released in the US yet!!!! I really like the Hidden Side castle that releases in August in the US. I wonder how quickly these will get pushed to good discounts by retailers and how many will even hit the shelves in the states? Talk about a short run... I guess I'll grab one quickly for myself and hope to pick up a few more with a discount. I know its been debated some in the clearance thread, I think some of the sets area really nice for a Halloween theme, but I guess sales have been pretty terrible for LEGO if they are already killing it off... Definitely a few other surprises as well.

For sure remove them. Yesterday I had an eBay sale that did in person pick up and I could tell he was offended I bought the set on clearance and sold it for more. He asked me what I paid and where I got it etc.

So I grabbed the Green Grocer when it popped up as the seller had 100% feedback. I then started to research and it looked legit, but I was still skeptical. Then the Cafe Corner and Market Street appeared so I grabbed them as well. The seller's listing practices were consistent with older listings, and feedback from sales within the week, so I figured no active seller wouldn't notice if their account was compromised in a timely manner. But still I was skeptical. Things sat for two days, then I randomly received a combined shipping refund from the seller yesterday and feedback. They just arrived. I scanned all the bags and all the pieces say "LEGO". Still surprised they showed up. They will sit in a 3 day quarantine in the garage then they will be inventoried and flipped.

7709 Sentai Fortress. I know this set doesn't get much love (or Exo-Force in general) but I had a great time building it. Quite a bit going on in this set, 2 mechs, 2 tall towers, service area, entry gate and walls. I had to put the towers on the inside for it to fit on the shelf once it was moved, it was almost 3 feet wide without doing that. I think if a set like this was released today under Ninjago it would do really well, but hey, it was cheap even after 10 years of retirement Bonus: I wish Brickset had a tag for "folding box". And that Lego did that anymore in general

When I get the same "What's your bottom price?" messages for five of my listings, and I go to add the user to my blocked buyers list, and he's already there.

I don't have a system anymore but I couldn't get rid of these games as collectibles. Still have them after all these years.

Lots of memories for me. My brother and I would always inhale dinner as the first one done and upstairs got to be player 1 and decide what game(s) were played that night. My parents recently retired / moved, which means we had to go through all our boxes of stuff that we still had at their house. I received the NES and the games. My initial thoughts on this set were meh, but after going through my games, I like this set more and more and think they could add so much to it such as Excitebike, Spyhunter (if they could change the scrolling), Castlevania, Megaman, etc. And for the math discussion...

One advice I can give you: some Raspberry pi fellows will be wanting this so they can house their Pi's.

brick built Zelda cartridge please ...or dare I wish...brick built Nintendo Gameboy /w Tetris on it

Under produced? So, just like every other Nintendo system...

I built BricksWithWings' MOC of Buck Rogers Starfighter over the weekend. It's one of my favorite ships and brings back a lot of childhood memories. It's about 400 pieces. The instructions cost $4, and I sourced the bricks from my bulk bin and Bricklink. I spent less than $30. This is the first MOC I've built, and it really makes you appreciate Lego's instruction manuals and build process. Granted, they are a multi-million dollar company and it's unfair to compare them to a fan-designed instruction manual. Overall, I am happy with the build, and I even swooshed it around the house afterwards. The look on my teenage daughter's face was priceless. Side note: I didn't follow the instruction manual for the display stand and ended up building my own stand with bricks I had on hand.

Day 1 purchase for me no question. This makes up for the whole Super Mario theme. This is like Christmas for me as an adult. In July! Man, I stoked. Merge with Exciter1's thread please.

Today I ate chips and slept. Felt like this afterwards -

Awesome! Though really, all in all, I'm just another brick in the wall

It's TRUE and somehow my 7 year old daughter is taking after her Dad, I woke up to find this...

No worries, it was a legit question. Thinking more about it, probably would be good to have a running tally of what may be retiring as it is. My reaction was not appropriate and I do apologize for that. The internet can be a hateful place unfortunately and definitely don't want to add to that, especially in today's world...

You actually think Lego is not going to be able to produce a new, popular set like Pirates of Barracuda Bay until next year? They're just going to forget Christmas when they make all their money??? And please refrain from saying "the new normal". It's an idiotic phrase that was pushed on us as a form of compliance and acceptance.

seriously... when the kids go to college, their room is becoming... The BIGGEST LEGO CITY EVER!!!!! They can sleep on a mat under the mountain region. 11 years and counting down.

That's weird, my train fits under the bridge with smoke stack intact on a track without hitting the bridge.
