Re: 10253 Big Ben from LEGO Creator Line - Official Press Re

Technically isn't this a St Stephens tower? I think it's the bell that's really named Big Ben. Anyway I love the scene in European vacation quoted above and this is a really impressive set, I wish I had the kind of space to display something of this size.

Re: May 2016 - LEGO Brand Retail Store Calendar

If you got a wall calendar at the end of last year for spending something like $50, there's a coupon in it good for 100 points on a purchase in April or may. It's not this monthly calendar, sorry if I confused you.

Re: Build a mini at legoland California

Just an update, I saw gold Jules Verne styled diver helmets, but no other diver parts, we already have him, so I didn't build any to take home. Also saw some black and white striped goth teddy bears.

Re: May 2016 - LEGO Brand Retail Store Calendar

Shoot! Maybe it's better to wait until the end of the month as a storm trooper isn't very exciting, it seems like we have a ton of them with minute differences but no captain America yet. Thanks for pointing that out so I didn't waste a trip.

Re: May 2016 - LEGO Brand Retail Store Calendar

So plan of attack is to bring calendar coupon for free 100 points with any purchase and buy $50 in star wars to get free poster, storm trooper and captain America :-) I'd better do an inventory so I don't buy the same sets twice, lol. I'm actually thinking the micro fighters would make good birthday...

Re: LEGO March 2016 New Sets, Sales & Promotions

There's also a mention of free duplo for preschool age children that do a preview of something i think March 7-11 before noon. While supplies last. I'll have to dig in the catalog, if anyone wants more details. Interestingly i nearly bought that free with purchase duck duplo set at legoland for $5 b...

Re: LEGO Disney 71012 Minifigures Official Image - May 2016

So far I've resisted the collectible minifigures even the last halloween looking series and i love halloween, so that's saying a lot for my restraint . I really like the Alice and Cheshire cat, but this will probably get me into collecting cmf...Argh maybe i can just collect disney cmf, there are to...

Re: Free LEGO nexo knights starter pack with purchase

I got one and yet didn't look at it when i came home, however I am guessing they still have them because there was an email about them again today so if they've already run out in many places I'd imagine sending out an email blast would be really bad marketing.

Target had Christmas Tree polybags this year for $3.49 and as of yesterday they are still easy to find and full price in San Diego, CA. I have never been lucky enough to find a post Christmas score, but this year went into my local Target on 12/28 and they had two mint in box Mindstorms EV3 and thr...

Re: Used Taj spotted at shop goodwill

Yes I've noticed some stuff sells for more than retail, eg ewok village for $249 plus shipping and handling. I could get that new for $250 and get vip points. The only thing i can think is people are somehow writing this off as a donation on their taxes? Although I can do local pick up worth no hand...

Re: Used Taj spotted at shop goodwill

I feel I've done well but you have to be able to walk away and not bid emotionally. I've gotten a couple new in box sets and a couple of lots locally. Most lots seem to go to one person and you have to outbid him. He usually just bids a per pound so you can beat him if there's something special you ...

I thought I'd note that you can get i brick legoland torsos at the build a mini shop at the entrance. You can also trade for them if you're lucky to find the minifigure ambassador available, but I just went to build a mini and thought I'd list interesting parts and maybe we could compare to your loc...
