Some Star Wars sets are priced crazily cheap. Amazon hasn't price match yet so I will let you all decide whether to jump in now or wait for amazon to pm. Darth maul sith for $39.20 Ucs r2d2 for 143.99 but out of stock currently. Jabba palace $96 Anakin and sebulba pod racer $56 Darth maul and the po...

Probably the same designers working on them.

nice! somewhat expected that. i think i made the suggestion of a cinema b4, something similar to the los angeles Grauman's Chinese Theatre. but i think the new modular is more like the palace theater instead of the chinese theater, which is still nice though. can't wait to see some pics.

^ that would be great! i think TLC is beginning to experiment with modular license themes. things like jabba palace and rancor pit. then battle of helm's deep and uruk hai army. so i would not be surprised if we get add-ons to the arkham asylum. it all depends on how well the set sells. i'm quite op...

lackluster. btw, guys - i think you should keep monitoring walmart.com. the online exclusives are going for absurd prices. town hall for $121, fire brigade for $108, even UCS DS for $290. keep refreshing and if you can, submit lower price report to amazon and wait for a price match there. crazy pric...

yeah, i'm interested to know what's the special too. i only get enough for the vintage minifigs set.

you are kidding right? S9 already at your store? Care to post a pic to confirm? this would be sensational news.

Love all the minifigs, but isn't this asylum a "WALL"?.........-_-II it is 5" deep, so it's not just a "WALL". also, not sure if anyone notice this but if you look carefully at the statues at the gate, you will notice new feathery wings pieces. seems to me to be hinting at ...

ugh, just got the fedex from walmart with the tower bridge. Their $0.97 shipping amounted to slapping a fedex shipping label on the box and sending it off no external box, nothing. and to top it off, it's been resealed with their tape too. Called customer service, but the item is OOS now. So I can ...

it's 3pm EST and brickset and FBTB already announced the set. gotta move faster ICE!

yeah, i wanted to place an order for nrg zanes and shipping ended. :( sucks.

FB is the exception and maybe even GE and PS. TLC violated the 2yr production rule with 6212 x-wing and increasingly seems to include other sets now especially when they belong to a popular series like the creator building sets. TLC must have seen the after markets for CC and GG. Note that DS also i...

I think Labor Day is the official start of Halloween season. Isn't that crazy, before we know it Christmas will be upon us! Not really. You have less than 2 months to sell Halloween stuff. What's crazy is that Walmart and Costco are now putting out Christmas stuff for sale. That's is crazy early. :...

Wow, and it works? Imagine that... A grown man asking his MIL to shop for toys. that's funny on so many aspects.

Just becoz some folks are quite vocal doesn't mean we all agree. I believe myself to be the silent majority who agree with scatmanjack. "further exclusions apply online" means just that. Yes, we all know about the marketing tactics of TRU by now, all means some and All means most and onlin...

I found it in store only one on the shelf out of three stores only one had it. not sure if maybe it was an online return or something i didnt think stores carried it. kingdom joust is available in the times square nyc flagship store. but i think it might be marked up even more than regular tru pric...

my walmart (in nj) had a 50% off red tag clearance sale. nothing too interesting except it tagged a batcave set and the batmobile set with a red tag. i cleared out the new, mint boxes of batcave sets and batmobile sets. tried looking for any red tagged avengers but couldn't find any. :( i saw a few ...

What is the best way to approach this sale? Obviously you want three sets at the same price, or 3 of the same set. But are there any combinations that make the most sense? this is the best price you will get from TRU, so I would go for the TRU exclusives, which means joker's funhouse, y-wing, any o...

wastedbrain wrote:Will there be customs charges if shipped to the US?

no custom charges but if it's above some threshold then you may have to pay for sales tax for that state. for e.g. when i buy from amazon.es, i didn't have any taxes to pay for 2 boxes but for 3 boxes it starts to creep in.

This is available again - though for 79.57. Shipping is also more expensive. but net-net it is still cheaper than buying in the us or canada.
