Re: Is there something wrong with me?

I'm a builder and an investor. About 1/4 of what I buy, primarily liscenced sets I got at a discount go into the "speculation" closet. I plan to open that closet in 2016 to see what I can score money or trade wise. Worst case scenario: more brick for building. I am with you on that. If 3-...

Re: What sets did you have as a kid?

My parents also were not rich but all i ever wanted for Birthday/Christmas was lego. I didn't care about nintendo, sega gensis, etc. So I had a lot of the castle sets, pirate sets, and space sets. Unfortunately when we were moving overseas my father gave them all away...they would be worth thousands...

The idea of buying two is great, but not sure how "cool" it would be with my wife. I at least want to buy two of each one of the modular buildings. Gotta somehow figure a way to make up for it though. @condor want to sell me your double of Cafe Corner? hehehe. I'm dying to get my hands on ...

Re: Borders to liquidate entire inventory

I can confirm the Border's in Burlington Vermont has cleared out most legos with the exception of two duplo sets with damaged boxes. The only thing left for grabs is Series 4 minifigures. I picked up a few at 40% off.

Is there something wrong with me?

Hi All, After being a lego fanatic as a kid and having my father give all my lego away when we moved overseas (i had all the castle, space, and some city sets from the early/mid 90's) I have since started collecting again now that I'm 31. My son who is only 8 months old has no clue over what he will...

Re: anyone seen large sets at TRU stores?

I visit the TRU stores in Angrignon (Montreal QC), Burlington, VT., and New Hampshire and have seen a number of sets $150+. I must say though, the Burlington, VT TRU doesn't have much of a selection. I try not to go there much anymore since they have no City Set that I don't have.

Aren't they lego.com only items? I bought both when they first came out because I didn't want to miss out.

Re: [CAN] ToysRUs LEGO Sale: May 27-June 2

MMV now shows out of stock. I didn't even want to waste my time with TRU. I noticed that sears.ca did the same thing to me. Before you add it to cart, it shows instock. You add it to cart no problems. You apply the discount, no problems...you go to check out....it's out of stock?
