I rather doubt that fire saleing your inventory is a particuarly profitable venture. :P

Dude, do you just sit around and try to think of every possible media franchise that you can imagine, then slap the word 'Lego' at the end and come running to post it here?

Went to Zellers for the very last time today, unfortunately I did not buy a single LEGO set with this coupon. I wanted to get the blacksmiths shop so I hid it behind some Hero Factory sets hoping no one would find them. Well some a** h*** did find it and bought it. I went upstairs to find it missin...

If you don't mind my asking, where in Canada are you located? Ottawa, but only one store listed that price online. Other Ottawa stores listed it for $15. However, if you see my edit too, the trip was a bust. None of the stuff that the site said it had in stock and for great prices (The passenger pl...

For some reason ONE of my four or five local Wal-Marts shows the Streetlight Repair Truck on sale for $5 while all others have it for $15. I need to get some stuff at Wal-Mart so I think I'll be pooking around there. The Passenger plane is also $30 apparently. That said, I don't much trust Wal-Mart....

I just think it looks silly and the commercial entirely negates the 'construction' aspect as well. It's more like 'Pastel Doll Houses, More Than 'Some' Assembly Required'. Ontop of that, the entire commercial feels fairly 'generic' in it's goal to plug a 'girls toy'.

Keep in mind that my main view here is based on the Town/City sets, since that's what I had as a kid and that's what I'm buying these days. Since there's about a 12 year gap from when I played with lego as a kid and now, that was a lot of time for Lego to evolve and so it suprises me. Minifigs: When...

TRU does not carry train tracks, they can only be purchased at a LEGO store or online. They do however have the rail crossing at my store, or at least I think I saw them at some point. Seems not, I went to the second TRU in the city and that one didn't even have the cargo train. I get the notion th...

It's a reoccuring story. Not just legos, but other toys and video games. I'm sure lots of people look back at having sold their old video game consoles as teenagers to pay for newer ones or games for newer consoles only to go 'Man... I wish I still had my N64 and Goldeneye!'. When I have kids, I'll ...

My Zellers is still tapped, just stuff I don't want mostly. They do however have one Bank and Money Transfer, but even at 50% off that set seems kinda expensive. :X

I was at one of my local Toys R Us on boxing day, just scoping it out, since I have an interest in the trains but they're a Toys R Us/Lego Shop exclusive. I saw the two train sets and the station, but no sign of tracks, the crossing or the other little things. The US TRU site lists those items, but ...

Good to see that The Lego Group thinks that girls are only supposed to make cup cakes, do their hair and like ponies. :X

I don't know just how much he is kidding. By 'Traveling to the United States' I assume he means across the US/Canada border. It costs like $20 just to cross most points so you'd need to get a fairly nice discount just to make it work out.

I wonder when Zellers will restock. I might have to exercise my credit card (It's at $0 right now anyway...) if some 2012 sets show up by the 31st.

I thought so, it seems that every part matched up but it was possible there was a difference. Since there's a price difference there could be a parts difference too. But that's what I meant, use LDD to design based on PAB, then just order the parts and not the Design By Me system, it's a lot of mark...

So, I find that LDD is a good way to tinker with parts I don't have and to hack up MOCs without having the parts right off. The obvious issue is that Designed By Me is a passive rip off in terms of costs. However, does Design By Me's parts available exactly match those of Pick A Brick? Could I just ...

Realize that consumer debt is a bad thing and exercise willpower? Big savings arn't so much savings once you're paying 20% compounded interest on them for a while. :P

I hear you. Some of those sets would be great to have at 50% off. :3 But if not, I think I'm done, I have to resist this urge to buy.

I may go back later if something smaller can catch my eye. Right now, I wanna center my stuff around the trains, so I want industries, service vehicles and stuff like that, I'm not so interested in the fire or police stuff at the moment. (Though I'll totally get the Heavy Duty Helicopter if I can ge...

Once you're done with college you will have more money to spend on LEGO ;-) Sadly, I'm studying to make film and television, while that can lead to a lot of income, I wanna do my own unrestricted self-funded indie stuff on the side and that eats up a lot of money. But this forum is proving to be a ...
