Used Taj spotted at shop goodwill

So I know most of you may not have good luck with auctions at shop goodwill but this one might not get as high as it could if it were advertised properly. It's just listed as a bulk lot instead of the Taj mahal plus other stuff and hovering at $400ish. I thought I'd share since this is out of my ran...

Thank you, I was thinking I'd have to brave the mall on black Friday but if I can go on Monday that would be much easier!

Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!

So I happened to be by the mall and I checked, there didn't appear to be a train so I asked and they found me one in the back, but I had to have them put it back because they had no gingerbread houses. He told me they'd have them for the 27th but they didn't have any available until then. I guess I'...

Minifigure trading at legoland California

Sorry I seem to be image challenged and cannot attach or embed an image but here's a photo of what I assume to be the minifigure ambassador, he had about 400 minifigures for trading and he built that solid pyramid for the minifigures over 4 days, he told my husband that he thinks there's more value ...

Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!

Thanks @StClair and @spaceviking I didn't have time to go today because we went to Legoland but on the 27th I'll ask about it in the store. I'm hoping the calendar is better than double points since the train I'm looking for is $109. I read somewhere that it had one coupon for 100 points so i imagin...

Re: LEGO VIP Day is on Saturday, November 21st!

So are there any benefits of shopping on the 27th? I want the gingerbread house as well as the calendar but the item I want is not normally in the stores large Duplo train set. Wondering if I can call and have them bring the set into the store for the 27th. Anyone have any experience with that?

Re: [USA] Toys R Us The LEGO Movie sets on clearance + sale

Nice, I don't have any of these sets, but I wish I had a good excuse to go to tru, it's much easier to need to go pick up something at target and happen to find toys in sale :)

Beware of fakes

I've bought from goodwill a few times but this has me rethinking it as a source for minifigures http://www.shopgoodwill.com/auctions/19-Factory-Sealed-Bags-of-Lego-People-25603507.html These are clearly fake as I've never seen factory sealed minifigures with the hands and legs separate, plus one fac...

Re: looking for advice on technic sets as gift

This appears to be sold out but perhaps you could request a restock. http://moc.bricklink.com/pages/moc/moci ... citem=1284

I think the fact that it's an automaton is really appealing, but I'm not sure if the Pegasus will appeal to your friend.
