Re: Feedback/information on Lego Club Meetings

Took daughter (age 7.5) to meeting this morning at NorthPark (Dallas, TX) store. They were given a sealed monthly model to build. An employee read a back story and then children were given a mini pick-a-brick box and were told to fill it up from the wall and build a dog house for the alien dog. The ...

Re: LEGO Black Friday 2014 VIP Early Access (USA & Canada) -

So at 3x VIP you would have gotten ~$45 credit while at 2x VIP would have only been ~$30 for your ~$300 Sandcrawler... Also could have gotten 2nd 2014 Set (resell for $15-20)... If near a store, the 2015 Calendar with additional free products would have been included...

Your loss...

Re: Sopwith Camel Sold Out

I am thinking a 'Sold Out' sign on S@H doesn't indicate this will no longer be available. If you look around at other products, Sets that are no longer available are listed as 'retired product' or similar with no pricing information listed on item page. The 'sold out' items still have all the pricin...
