We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.
As someone who is not a big Star Wars fan, that Falcon looks loving incredible. Just not $800 incredible.

8500,- in my currency which is ~$1100...

Thats just a tad less than what i paid for the original in mid 2015.

Wow, so it really is $800. Holy guacamole. It's soooo good though...I still don't think I'd ever drop that much on a Lego set. I'll be watching like a hawk for deals while it's in production.

That's like, a new computer or a down payment on a car goddamn. I'm going to lego tomorrow to get the Snowspeeder. and I know seeing that thing in person is going to torture me lol.

I'm surprised it took so long for these to show up. I considered doing one myself but I like to think that Ebay buyers are dumb, just not this dumb.

Bang Bang
I was looking through my old stuff and I half-remembered that, as a kid, I had a t-shirt with the same design as one of the pirate minifigures (sorta like a tuxedo t-shirt but piratey). Was this a thing Lego did or have I imagined it? Google Image search isn't giving me any joy. Think it might've been the same as this guy's jacket / striped combo:



Maybe got it through the Lego Club?

What time does the store update for orders? Midnight EST or Midnight PST?

It might be midnight EST. I got my saturn V receipt at 12:17 central time and I spent about an hour mashing on their website trying to get an order in.

It's funny that the only time I will be at a lego store for the past 2 years will be October 1. And I planned that about 6 months ago (There are none near me). Pity I won't be there until late afternoon and this will be sold out by then. Not sure how I would get that thing on a plane home though!

Couple of questions since I rarely shop at the Lego Store for more than PAB, and rarely use my VIP card. I want to go in tomorrow and buy the Snowspeeder, Can I use my 2x points right then and there to grab another set or is there a wait time? Also, are Lego Stores cool about holding sets for customers? It's an hour drive and I don't want to go there and find they are sold out.

As long as their system isn't down, you should be able to use them immediately after.

They have to charge more to make sure no spiders get into the box. Do you want to open it up and get attacked by spiders?

Yep. Just has to be a separate order.

Also, The $800 MF gives an immediate $40 in credit. Not bad. But better to wait for 2x and get $80.

So, if I want Ninjago city, should I just show up at the Lego store closest to me at opening, or buy online? I signed up for VIP like a week ago, but couldn't get to a store and would rather go get it in person.

Thoughts?

Right. But I can't get to one until tomorrow. Which has me nervous.

Well, it comes out tomorrow so I'm guessing they aren't selling out today?

I called them today about the speeder and they said they'll hold sets until the end of the business day. So just call them. not sure if there are restrictions on sets that came out that day though.

Right, meaning I now have to compete with non VIPs for it since I haven't been able to get it before tomorrow.

Yes but I think his point was since VIP is awesome and free, anyone who had ANY interest in rushing out to get the Ninjago City would have likely signed up for VIP to get it like, 2 weeks ago. Meaning tomorrow, they open up, and likely not many people care.

And once again, it comes out tomorrow so why would you be at a disadvantage by not being able to go there until tomorrow morning?

Unless I am misunderstanding what you are saying it seems like you think it came out today?

It's a $300 low demand set. I doubt they will be sold out. The rocket sells out but it isn't expensive. The last set that sold out consistently was the Disney castle. This is not the disney castle. It's a ninjago set.

The Disney castle was that popular? I say them for sale at Disney, but I guess you would not want to carry that giant box around with you at a theme park?

It took a couple months for it to become readily available. My point is that the ninjago city isn't the disney castle. It's not the Saturn V.
