ARCHIVE - LEGO Forums (2009-2017)

Hey guys, i just started collecting recently and I am not planning on reselling but I don't mind the great deals that retail stores and Amazon have to offer. Lately I have been running around town trying to pick up sets that I thought were pretty cool from last year(ex. monster hunters sets). I als...

I got my keychain in the mail on Saturday. I didn't think I would get one, but I guess I spent more at my local store and S@H than I thought. In the past year I got: Kingdoms Joust PAB Large Cup Friends Advent Calendar (lol) Haunted House Wedding Set (cake topper thing) Series 8 minifigs (32 or what...

Do they ever offer free shipping during their double VIP promotions? They did back in October. +1, pretty much every October they seem to have double points and free shipping. October tends to be a big month for Lego sales between what S@H does and TRUs bricktober. That's the month a lot of us tend...

One thing of note is that you can (last I heard) get prime service if you become an "Amazon mom" (you don't have to be female). That involves getting regular deliveries of diapers or other such supplies. I'm not 100% on the exact details. Just something to look into if it might apply to yo...

For me, it says "Suivi non disponible. Pourquoi ? " so I can't even track my order. How long should I wait until I file a "Non-delivery?" I wouldn't panic. They can take some time to ship. For series 7, I remember other people got them a week ahead of me. I'd wait a couple weeks...

Has anyone got their box of 60 minifigures series 9 yet? Amazon.fr says expected Delivery Date: Jan 24, 2013 for me. How accurate is that? I think it's usually fairly accurate. Mine says January 29th, but I'm farther away than you are (California). Mine showed up just now. That's 6 days early. Nice...

You have your location by your screen name and you've named the job title of the guy who told you all this. If anyone at TLG reads this, they will put it together and figure out who he is and probably who you are too. And that means someone might lose their job. I don't want you fired over a few mon...

I'm scratching my head about the advent calendars too. I usually buy one around this time of year for next Christmas. But I'm not paying full price.

No fully round , white , kinda like half a golf ball. Fully round? So, no studs or any other type of connection? Does it have a tiny printed "Lego" on it anywhere? The only spheres I'm finding in the online database are either half spheres or one of a couple types of true spheres (both of...

Me and my daughter were in the process of building a Medical Lab building and discovered an odd piece in my white colored box. It looks like half a golf ball , same indents. Beautiful piece to make an oxygen tank from. Anyone know where else this piece my appear? thx Is it this sort of thing? http:...

I ended up buying a Creator Seaside House, which they had priced at $55 USD, with MSRP being $50. I was able to use all 3 cash coupon things for $13 off, so that was like a discount of %16 off MSRP. Almost not worth it, but then I was able to use the last of my TRU gift card money ($34) and finally ...

I like how the shelf tag is also pink.

Very good price on a fantastic set that's probably on its way out soon. I loved building that one, and it looks great on the shelf.

Very interesting quote I found in an article: The business of Toys ‘R’ Us is highly seasonal with fourth quarter accounting for over 80% of the fiscal net income , primarily due to strong holiday sales. http://seekingalpha.com/article/290182-toys-r-us-ipo-deferred-on-stock-market-concerns That's a l...

normal TRU has it for the price shown on the website before discount 87.99, that is the standard markup on this set. They also have a nasty habit of claiming they do not price match themselves, so you are gonna have to do some wheeling and dealing to get the 69.99. Ugh. I'll wheel and deal myself o...

79003 Bag end 109.99 ~40 markup :crazy: Uh, am I going to run into problems trying to use my in-store only coupons to buy that "Bag end" (Unexpected Gathering) set at my local store at MSRP? Their website lists that set at MSRP. I didn't realize the B&M stores charge different prices....

I'm fairly certain it's tied to a particular rewards card ID. If you look at the regular coupons along with the rewards dollars, they use a different barcode. I think your friend would need your rewards card to use it.

Do I sort and sell......my heart says buy or they will split and sell on ebay losing the chance of rebuilding lovely sets forever....but my head says you are insane!!! Anything in particular I should look for. Any lego guru that can offer assistance.... Disclaimer: I'm more of a collector/MOC'er th...
