We added an LED light kit to our Treehouse. Looks awesome! Kind of a pain the ass though....I am now dreading putting on our LED kit for Hogwarts Castle!

According to brickmerge.de Vestas, Stranger Things & Hogwarts Express will go EOL as well this year: https://www.brickmerge.de/?filterTag=Auslaufartikel&find=Auslaufartikel

Built a bunch of random sets to put up for sale. Nothing extraordinary but still pretty fun.

Meet TLG's Director of Customer Engagement:

The Lightailing LED Kit...not cheap, but adds awesome detail for your collections at night. Makes me want to do all of my displays...but I don't have the time nor the money....

I've been doing that too. My daughter packed up her Friends and Disney sets a couple of years ago since she wasn't into them anymore. I've been tasking my son with rebuilding them to ensure they're complete. While he loves Lego, he hasn't been so enthusiastic about rebuilding Rapunzel's Tower and Cinderella's Castle. haha I've got more he needs to build too!

TLG reminds me of Nintendo in a lot of ways. Simultaneously a pioneer in their industry and stuck in the 1990s when it comes to online experience.

The Treehouse was my Father’s Day present. Snagged one when they finally came back @ LEGO Shop at Home at end of May. Finished building it the other day. I loves the build and the attention to detail. I’m going to BL the tree branch bricks so I can build the autumn look and just switch the entire tree limbs.

Just was at my local Lego store....they just ran out of trees and are now giving out Nutcrackers....

You can search your orders. Just type in what you were supposed to get.

One of the orders should show the date delivered for whenever you received the package. That should be able to narrow it down.

My state (OH) asks me for total sales during the period, exempt sales, taxable sales and amount of tax already paid. Total sales is all states, exempt is all states minus OH, tax already paid used to be everything via AMZ and EBay, and will include BL now as well, so that only BO (and CL and Mercado and Faceboom MarketPlace and other platforms I don't use) remains to be reported.

I read through it and see nothing that is "nuts". BL is going to do the same as EBay and Amazon already do - they are collecting sales tax and sending it to the local tax authorities. BL (and BO) were the only venues for which I had to manually report sales to my local tax agency, now I will still have to file but will show even less taxable sales (only BO) as Ebay, Amazon and BL are already paying these taxes for me. Less work is better.

if you have his address then send him something "Ebay Executive" style. Doesn't have to be something dangerous...but I get that getting scammed is highly frustrating and there is a strong desire to do something...so even a note in an empty (but weighted LEgo set box) indicating that he just opened a box containing...or just a warning that it could just as easily been real and next time he scams someone it will be...

Sorry, I couldn't resist given the Osprey debacle For immediate Release: The LEGO Group announces cancellation of Bespin Duel 75294 "Having an absentee father beat and maim his son before consigning him to the abyss after he refuses to accept his father's philosophical views isn't in keeping with our company values," says Dirk McDirk Face. "I mean, don't get me wrong," continued Dirk, 'We at the LEGO Group are all about good clean fantasy violence. We've made bank selling battle stations responsible for destroying entire worlds, but LEGO is a family brand and domestic violence isn't really our bag."

If I had an acre of land I would consider building a storage unit on my property because it certainly would pay for itself. As it happens, I don't 😝

- taking as granted that you have your own garden where to put it and have it under surveillance + the bonus is - if you ever have to move -you wont have to pack anything - they just grab the container

This is a good idea. And to echo what others have said regarding theft, sure invest something in security, but definitely get insurance specifically to cover what you have stored at your new location.

Saving this picture for the whiteface controversy that will pop up when he runs for President in 2032 ....

bigger list showing up: https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-sets-retiring-in-2020/

my guess is that if anyone wants and sees Diner or Treehouse at RRP...JUMP on it...cuz I doubt it will come back and definitely doubt there will be any kind of discount...I've been looking for weeks to get Treehouse at RRP...I am hoping that LEGO Shop at Home will have another restock...but at htis point if I see it on Amazon at RRP I will jump

I wouldn't wait too long. Many production runs are disappearing within 1 day at full retail. If you see it available I'd recommend grabbing it. At some point Lego is going to move on with the new releases and not look back.

I've found that Target has 3 sizes of boxes at the disposal of their shipping department: Funko Pop size, sarcophagus size, and this one in the photo, which is for everything in between.

I ordered a set from Amazon and a set from S@H. Already built the Amazon one. I got shipping notice the other day about my S@H one. I preordered moments after it went on sale, though. I didn't want to chance missing it. Sorry yours is on the way to my house right now.

Got my Zavvi order today of the Land Rover. This is easily the worst packaging I have ever received...
