Re: [USA] ToysRUs.com BOGO 50% off NOW

I get so hacked off at this outfit so often - I saw the BOGO deal and went online to see if I could get two Imperial Shuttles for myself and my nephew for Christmas. The page for the item clearly states - limit 2 items per customer. When I go to do the BOGO however it will only let me order one. I c...

Are Lego 1:17 cars done?

I'm a big fan of the Ferrari and Lambo 1:17 cars that Lego has been doing for several years now. They'd been introducing new ones each year for several years, but the most recent 1:17 (the Lambo police car) was introduced in 2010 and apparently isn't available from Lego anymore (although I've seen i...

Display cases for large sets

I may be doing some wishful thinking here, but I'm looking for someplace I could find acrylic display cases like the ones used in the front windows of Lego stores. I have a glass-front Ikea shelving unit where I have some of my cooler Lego sets, but the biggest think I can fit in there is the Imperi...

Lego set - better to sell apart or put together?

I'm getting ready to list on eBay a pretty large and popular Lego model that I've pieced out with new parts from a variety of sources. I'll actually have two of them, as I want to build one first to make sure I have everything. My question is for what would be the best way to list this piece on eBay...

Re: Anyone aware of TRU Hero Factory promo?

That's part of what hacked me off today and why I'm absolutely NO FAN of TRU - there were probably 150 small poly bags from different Lego promotions right behind the counter. I asked if I could get one, and was quickly told - no substitutions. I wish all customer service was as good as the Lego gro...

Anyone aware of TRU Hero Factory promo?

Saw some signs up today @ TRU saying there was a free Hero Factory item to be had (I believe a $4.99 value) with a $20 Hero Factory purchase. I hadn't heard about it, and when I got to the counter the clerk told me they were out of the item.

Anyone know what I missed out on?

Re: Cafe Corner and Green Grocer - Part Out or Pony Up?

So the CC I referenced above? It was in broken up and mixed in with a bunch of junk, and with no guarantee it was complete, sold for over $460. Unbelievable.

Re: Cafe Corner and Green Grocer - Part Out or Pony Up?

I would do the following: 1) Go ahead and sell Cafe Corner..it should be nearing a plateau soon (sure, it should continue to increase in value, but the rate of increase will start to level off now that it is 2+ years retired). 2) Take the proceeds and buy used CC+Green Grocer, build those out...esp...

Fire at the Lego Cincinnati store today

There was a fire around lunchtime today at the Cincinnati Lego store in the Kenwood Town Center. If you look at the attached picture, it appears the wall-mounted display where the the device is held that animates Lego boxes when you display them on camera caught fire. The box that holds the display ...

Cafe Corner and Green Grocer - Part Out or Pony Up?

So after years of accumulating sets for a Lego city my kids and I hoped to build, we finally got to work about a month or so ago. We absolutely LOVE the large modular buildings (just finished the pet shop Wednesday), and want to build as many as possible. We have Cafe Corner and Green Grocer NIB tha...

Website for XML lists?

I'm trying to find XML lists for the Lego Corner Cafe 10182 and Green Grocer 10185. Does anyone know of a site where these types of lists can be found? I'm too lazy to enter the pieces individually into Bricklink, so I'm hoping for a shortcut somewhere! Thank you!
