Indexed Have you ever had this happen, You're taking apart your latest build and after five minutes of speedy destruction all you have left is a bunch of small plates stuck together and a base plate filled with flat tiles. Now you get to spend another 10 minutes trying to pry all this apart. http:/...

You can ask the designer. ;)

I wonder how much this 'set' would cost if you made it using the DesignByMe application.

kids are the perfect excuse to buy more legos! I didn't really need an excuse, but I have bought more since my daughter was born. It will be their inheritance. :lol: I had forgotten how much fun legos are (i know I should be beaten for that statement). It was not until my oldest was old enough for ...

When my kids get older, I anticipate we will build things like this together.
At least that is my wish.

Just to throw some Math at it.

The lowes amount that would work would be they sold 3 prior and the new sales number is 20

Check your local walmart, mine had several of these for 50% off, I got the last one a week or two after that for 70% off.

eurobricks reports:

4287 parts,
219,99€
Release Date: Oct. 2010

That would probably make this a 199-249$ (US) set.

I am afraid that they will not quite be that big, as the buss alone would be 5 inches tall.

yeah I ordered 5 of those, they make great presents for birthdays, Christmas and whatnot. And there are plenty of family members, friends, colleague's, etc that have little kids.

Nothing beats a 25$ gift for 6$ :D

I got 5 Duplo Tanker Trucks for 29.85$ shipped (suggested MSRP 24.99) at s@h

Looks like there are a bunch of new bionicle sets on the list for 50% off and 2 duplo sets Thomas the train (50%) and the tanker truck (76% off)

Lately I have not been leaving the state much. (Driving Long distances with a 0 and 2 year old just isn't compelling ;))... Whoa, I hear ya there. My brother lives in Columbus, but have yet to get down there to LEGO store mainly for reason stated above. Will have to wait til the one in Troy opens u...

sigh this makes me sad that the closest LEGO store is 300+ miles away :( Just remember, always check for the nearest LEGO store on your trips that might take you away from home :) I had no clue there was one in Cincinnati and I had literally walked by it at one point....doh. Lately I have not been ...

lol I love bragging about deals so here's another two: 6 Track Repair Train sets (5607) for 28.83US$ shipped and 5 Road Sweepers (4978) for 22.35US$ shipped okay those are duplos, but they make great gifts I have 2 kids so Duplo deals are good to me. :D Sorry these two deals are like 6 months old :(

I think it may also be related to the fact that the younger generation has nothing with the star wars franchise anymore. It's been quite some time since a movie came out in theater and tv doesn't show them all that often anymore.

oh and late last year I got:
10185 Green Grocer
7746 Single-Drum Roller
6241 Loot Island
for a grand total of 144.98us$

Two weeks back I got the Space Police Galactic Enforcer (5974) at my local Walmart for only 30$

I think that should count as a steal of a deal! :D

Since i did not pick my LEGO hobby back up until late last year I am working on expanding my collection first. Since my budget is set (the misses sets it) at this point I mainly look at price and buy sets that are on sale. Once my collection expands I can start buying sets for specific pieces. Oh an...
