I just received 2x 75342 sets with the new purple clones. I don't think
I want to collect these, since I already have some 501st.

Any reliable seller in the USA looking to trade? I was hoping maybe 6x purple
clones and 1x Mace Windu for some new 332nd troopers.

So I just received the new Easter themed Lego catalog in the mail yesterday and
both of the sets that would be ideal for their promotion are already sold out.
The promotion starts on Friday of this week.

 
Set No: 40523  Name: Easter Rabbits Display
* 
40523-1 (Inv) Easter Rabbits Display
288 Parts, 2022
Sets: Holiday & Event: Easter
 
Set No: 40463  Name: Easter Bunny
* 
40463-1 (Inv) Easter Bunny
293 Parts, 2021
Sets: Holiday & Event: Easter

It's basically a worthless catalog. Why not release the sets on the day
of the promo?

I have 3 of these figures from a new/sealed 75290 set:

 
Minifig No: sw0554  Name: Bith Musician
* 
sw0554 (Inv) Bith Musician
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

The torso print is thicker than with the previous figures from the 2014 Mos Eisley
set (yes, I have the figures from both sets).

Is something like this grounds for splitting the torso entries?

I happened across this by accident:

"Due to the global shipping situation, some shipments to the US, Australia, and
New Zealand will be delayed as late as February 2022. Thank you for your patience
and understanding."

Also includes Canada

Has anyone's set(s) shipped?

I read somewhere that the first round would be shipped before x-mas. My castle
is still on "in process." I'm anxiously waiting.

I know with the holidays rapidly approaching and it may be difficult to find
certain sets online and in stores.

Target in Midland has both of these today (about 4-5 each):

 
Set No: 10275  Name: Elf Club House
* 
10275-1 (Inv) Elf Club House
1180 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2020
Sets: Creator: Creator Expert: Winter Village Collection: Holiday & Event: Christmas
$100

 
Set No: 10267  Name: Gingerbread House
* 
10267-1 (Inv) Gingerbread House
1470 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2019
Sets: Creator: Creator Expert: Winter Village Collection: Holiday & Event: Christmas
$127


Barnes and Noble, Midland had these out today:

 
Set No: 71374  Name: Nintendo Entertainment System
* 
71374-1 (Inv) Nintendo Entertainment System
2645 Parts, 1 Minifigure, 2020
Sets: Super Mario
x1

 
Set No: 21318  Name: Tree House
* 
21318-1 (Inv) Tree House
3020 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2019
Sets: LEGO Ideas (CUUSOO)
x2

 
Set No: 21326  Name: Winnie the Pooh
* 
21326-1 (Inv) Winnie the Pooh
1249 Parts, 5 Minifigures, 2021
Sets: LEGO Ideas (CUUSOO): Disney: Winnie The Pooh
x? (at least one)

 
Set No: 76389  Name: Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets
* 
76389-1 (Inv) Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets
1132 Parts, 11 Minifigures, 2021
Sets: Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets
x2 (or more)


Those are some of the harder to find sets that I found locally (many are out
of stock on Lego's page). I hope this helps someone with holiday shopping.

Also, I have seen this set at one of the Walmart (at least 2 sets) locations
nearby (Bay City, Midland, or Saginaw, I cannot remember which). It was within
the last couple days.

I want to build this over my x-mas holiday break:

https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-92684/BoltBuilds/the-university-alternative-to-71043/#details

I have most of a sealed 71043 set aside, though I am missing bags 1-7. I don't
need figures, snake, or the big rock pieces. I may not even need all of these
pieces, but the time savings would be worth the tradeoff.

USA preferred to receive this in time. Please use BL contact and include a price
if possible. Thanks!

I just grabbed one of these for 50% off (Target online, can be picked up in store
too):

This was one of the sets on my wish list, so I'm pretty happy. These days
50% off seems very rare.

According to my PayPal records a BL member (zach_attack_16) tried to purchase
from me 4 times. Twice on 7/24 and twice on 7/26 (one of each is listed as canceled
on PayPal). Futhermore, there is no record of the payment portion of the transaction
(where you print labels) and no record on BL.

All transactions are for $21.19

Can anyone explain what happened?

I just placed a small discount on most items in my store.

Unless circumstances change, I expect that my store will close between September
1st and sometime December. My education must come before the store, especially
as I close in on graduation.

I have 4 of the minifigs from this set in my store. They are listed under incomplete
sets for the time being.

Coronation Elsa, ice castle Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff. I am keeping Olaf, since
I didn't have one.

The set is a very fun build, though I didn't realize how much smaller it
is compared to Disney Castle.

What a crazy day (actually less than 8 hours) and from what I have read there
are many unhappy people to say the least.

It appears that these are the finalists for crowdfunding:

1) Castle in the forest
2) Great fishing boat
3) Sheriff's Safe
4) Pursuit of flight
5) Kakapo

Was the starting time for crowdfunding ever revealed?

I want to be online at that moment to ensure a chance for the castle, since they
are letting people purchase up to 5.

I recently bought a Deadpool minifig from a reliable ebay seller that I think
used to sell on BL. While the figure has the standard markings showing that
it is Lego, the figure feels extremely cheap.

The arms and legs are looser than normal minifigs and the leg to hip connection
seems poor. All in all it seems like one of those cheap made Chinese collectible
minifigs from years ago.

Regrettably, I sold my original Deadpool from the X-men set some time back, so
I have nothing to compare to.

I have just added 2 unsorted lots to my store, as shown. I tried to price them
so they would be a deal. Make offers if you think my prices are off.

Star Wars is currently priced at $89 and Elves at $175

The only thing I am interested in trading for at the moment is either a complete
Daily Bugle (76178) or one w/o minifigs to expand my current set. These and
regular sets in my store are eligible to be traded.

I need to switch email service providers that is used on both BL and PayPal.

Does anyone know if the BL PayPal onsite with merchant ID is connected to an
email address? I cannot remember setting up this feature on BL, so I'm not
sure if I will mess it up by changing the email addresses on both sites.

Thanks!
