  1. Tomorrow they say is double points day at the Lego stores and also you are supposed to be able to get the Gingerbread house set when you spend $99.
  2. Looks like on the back of the Lego Club mag they are showing some of the 2016 mystery minifigs. I really like Sharkman.
  3. I've heard a couple of rumors about the mystery minifig sets. The first one is that a set will be Disney Mickey Mouse included and the other is Doc Who.
  4. I got the train last night, I like it. Now I will wait for the Gingerbread house next month.
  5. Last night at my local Target store I found The Joker Bumper Car 30303 for $3.99 in the Halloween section.
  6. Double points work for both in store and website. Everybody warm up their VIP cards! Also if you spend $75 it's free shipping to the lower 48. If you are spending less, let me know I have a couple of promo cards with free shipping to the lower 48.
  7. You only get double points the 1st thru the 4th next month. That is VERY good to know. I thought it was through the whole month. I have a bunch of things that I am interested in that I will pull the trigger on then. I bought the Force Awakens Falcon but am glad that I did not wait since ... well for no other reason than I wanted it right then and there... I'm definitely looking at picking up: 10246 Detective’s Office 21303 WALL•E (If they fix the neck and release it again in time) There are a bunch of bricks I am looking for so I will have to place another Bricklink order this weekend. Hey Buzz, while I was at the Lego store last night I picked up Wall-e and also found out that they extended the double points now goes to 14th. \ Thanks for the heads up. I was thinking of driving out there tonight. I am assuming that the WALL•E's have been fixed then and I wanted to grab one on double points before they sell out until after the double points are over. I have two more parts orders coming in over the next couple of days. I will show part of something 'fun' off, hopefully by Sunday. Excellent! I grabbed the last one at the store I go, so I would call them and ask them to hold it for you until get there. They will usually hold a set for up to 48 hours depending on the store.

  9. But to be fair some of the older forum members put a lot of junk like and have over 30000 posts that put up c-rap and rip on people that disagree with them. When I read those posts, I think you want to sell to this community and this is how you treat people.

From what I understand, Lego will be having other days with double points. So they may have a day or 2 in November and December.

  12. They do not add anything to your Lego account, only those purchased at a lego store or lego.com. Not LEGOLAND either.
  13. When I had the opportunity to ask Hasbro about this at NYCC several years ago, the Star Wars team would only say, 'No Comment". When I asked Lego, also at NYCC, they remarked that they were not able to address it further (or something like that - I specifically remember the 'no comment' though.) Now, while Lego has offered polybagged Star Wars figures after 2010, it is important to note that these have been promotional items or store exclusives with later sales to clearance out remaining stock by a vendor. Lego Han Solo in Hoth Gear was a lego incentive and only available for free if $75 or more was purchased through the Lego Store. Rocket Raccoon was aTRU Exclusive that was originally a store promo if $50 or more was purchased in Legos in the store. Eventually, TRU sold the items individually. This brings us to Marvel. Keep in mind that Hasbro also has the license from Marvel / Disney to produce action figures so the same type of arrangement probably exists on Marvel figures as the Star Wars figures concerning what Lego does. So while Lego was able to secure the rights to produce and sell individual Simpsons minifigures, it is very unlikely, that unless Disney steps in, that we will see individual Marvel or Star Wars figures sold in the minifigure assortment. This is highly unlikely though, as Disney is starting to have a strained relationship with Lego... but more on that later. (Maybe today actually if I feel like writing more.) I have that set, still sealed.
  14. I did not even know that they were released yet. Cool - I wanted a couple of these. On the flip side... I was denied purchasing some things yesterday at Target. They put them out by mistake and the register would not allow them to be purchased. The sticker for the First Order Snow Speeder was correct at $29.99 but the label for the X-Wing was nowhere to be found. My local Lego store had them last week. Monday I believe they where available. I have not seen any of the new Star Wars sets.
  15. The new Lego Mystery minifigures Monster series are awesome! I now have the complete set of 16.
  16. I talked to my friend who did the show and he said he will not be back to do the show again. He left early each day. I also asked if that Marvel collection had the 35 cent variant of Logan's Run, he said they didn't have any of the price variants that he could see.
  17. I just got a text from my friend, he said someone there has a complete Marvel collection from 1961 to present, every da-- book!
  18. A friend of mine is setting up there, he has 4 booths. He's bringing some GA horror stuff, plus lots of other stuff. Stop by and say hello. It's Captain Jacks Comics.
  19. I think you're reading into things a bit too much, here. Sometimes, things need to be hashed out. There's too much simmering under the surface around here, that never has a chance to be aired, even if never resolved, and that simmering inevitably manifests itself in other, destructive ways. If talking openly about these situations brings heat....it's ok, we're big boys, and we can take it...no? Better than to never have addressed it at all. Yes I will agree that things need to be hashed out, we are big boys and we are supposed to be able to take it, but we've seen the butthurt. I don't have a dog in this race, but after a while please drop it and move on or bring it to pm. I'm just trying to help.........
