ARCHIVE - LEGO Forums (2009-2017)

Just remember to leave a few for others, what goes around comes around, and if those do not listen, they might CHOKE on it like in a horror movies. My local Walmart limited the purchase one box per family. I took 2 boxes at check out and they only sold me one box. In fact, only 6 boxes left when I ...

The offical landing page of their servers failure was returned. Hopefully, Jor-EL is still available when it is up.

Some shoppers were possibly looking for surprise.

TLG server was crashed.

S@H will offer 20% off for this set at Black Friday sale, too. What is the point for shopping at TRU?

Based on the images, the outcome of this series is better than I had imagined. No excuse for not picking up two complete sets: one set for display and one set for untouched. It was awful that I am still collecting CMF while I had told myself to quit after the impact of Mr.Gold from series 10. Thanks...

I don't consider the sale of Silver Mine set was part of this event. It has never been advertised and It was not on sale at my local TRUs either. The mini set did not come with any exclusive minifig; I wonder if it can retain any value. IMO, $115 for these sets was overpriced. If I have $115, I rath...

Agree

Same here.

I usually bring some LEGO to the kids/person whom I visit, if I know he/she is addicted to LEGO. Sometimes, I may get them 1 or more CMF, a polybag, or a 19.99/24.99 box set; the give away LEGO item(s) will depend on how well I know them.

You could try the wonderlab at N.Van marine drive. I picked up my second one after building the bat signal. They still have a bag full of the polybags behind the counter at 11:30am.

Spending more than $30, I grabbed one Raccoon from Richmond TRUs at lunch time. This store was busy that I had to stand at the line for 15 minutes while only 2 cashiers was working. I was avoiding to shop from TRUs due to their poor customer service; however, this polybag was too tempting. I thought...

Nice minifig. I hope this is not the only event that TLG would offer this polybag.

Lacking good discount and minifigure in the promo set, this year bricktober event can't motivate me to spend $75 at TRUs. I rather spend my money on lego shop for earning double VIP and elves promo set. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the review. I am surprised you have received the set as early as Aug/Sept.

Excellent. Good job TLG. I need the white classic spaceman. Honestly, I'm still very surprised that the Spaceman promo is September instead of August. If they do the two free holiday sets in October and November again, it's going to be really hard to also justify them after the Spaceman in September...

Thanks for the image. This set is one of the worst in CMF. Not impressive . I just like the pig suit guy, scary girl, video gamer, and Battle Goddess.

The good news is that I could save my money for UCS Tumbler and Ewok Village.

I can't believe it is tie. Just give each of them a box of grand prize.

"First Church of Springfield" by StClair : 3 points

The worst part of it is that they printed the under pant on the leg.

I would like to say all the entries in this contest are very cool. It's not easy to pick the best out of the best. "First Church of Springfield" by StClair: 1 point "Micro Springfield Elementary School" by moofer: 1 point "Springfield nuclear plant" by hanzbizarre: 1 po...

Nice. Another great value set to collect DC heroes minifig after 76000 Aquaman on ice.
