I ordered 5 Stigs today (before they lowered the limit to 2 I guess). Who still wants one sent to them for cost price + postage? Edit: All taken.

Pfffff man I've been off lego for a while and even when I did buy it I never cared about sets or displaying anything, I just wanted the bricks to build my own stuff.

But that is too cool, with working flaps and everything, and it's not even that expensive...

gently caress why did I even open this thread again?

I'd sort you out if you were in the UK, but shipping costs might make it uneconomical as it is.
Minifigs though. I have all the series so far, plus 138 duplicates to sell in future. I'm not sure if I should be annoyed at the money I spent, or happy that they wil be worth more in the future.

Don't know whether this is worth anyone's time, but after a quick chat in the bluewater Lego store in the UK I have found out that the Death Star is being discontinued next year.

Also bought tower bridge that looks like a real project. Really wanted the B-wing but it just looked a bit dull.

Some good news for TRU, but it's not as good as I had originally hoped.
They're finally introducing price matching!
Sadly, it looks like they're only matching printed advertising. No taking your phone and and showing them Amazon's storefront. Second, it doesn't apply to any category-wide discounts, any BOGO offers, or any percentage off discount (so a 20% off all Ninjago probably wouldn't count, but if they advertise the Seaside House for 20% off and show a price, it probably would). Or any Black Friday deals. And the Google result says 'Until Christmas Eve', but it doesn't say that on the page itself.
So you might be able to take a Lego catalog in and actually get MSRP prices and avoid paying the TRU Tax. But otherwise, it's not a very good price-matching program.

My local TRU said that if I could pull a price on my phone, they'd accept that. Just had to be actually published somewhere.

Stigs are pretty great. Normal sort of Lego keyrings, pretty much what you'd expect, but it's the Stig. Hope some enterprising person's going to prise a visor off one at some point, I want to know what's under there. :v:

Thanks for tipping the thread off to them, whoever it was.

OR you could wait a month and get a Christmas set bonus (probably a small vignette) if you buy around Black Friday.

Oh I was not aware Lego did anything like that for black Friday, guess I will have to keep a eye out to see what they are offering. I would rather get the bonus set instead of double points.

Online 10% off, plus a few sets will be discounted. In stores 10% off, with possibility of 20% or 50% off. I got 20% last year and was very surprised/happy.

Last year sets like Emerald Night was 20% off. So, expect a few things like that. You'll have better luck in a store.

And the aforementioned bonus set. It's been confirmed that there will be one, but they haven't revealed what yet. There is usually a teaser image a week beforehand.

I make a pilgrimage to the LEGO store every black friday at some ungodly hour. It's great fun.

Not sure if this is common knowledge but an industry guy let slip during a 3D animation lecture that he was working on the Lego movie and also a TV series due next year. Nothing I'm particularly interested in, but I thought there might be a few here who are.

I never realised before but apart from the face (young ice planet guy), my "build everything for this one guy" figure when I was younger was basically the Stig. I think I'm going to have to buy one now.

Several (maybe just one?) designers have commented that they sometimes choose colors for sets based on what is expensive on Bricklink.
