Set No: 40712  Name: Micro Rocket Launchpad
* 
40712-1 (Inv) Micro Rocket Launchpad
321 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2024
Sets: Space: Classic Space

I was just checking to see what's the average price, and there's a number
of sellers who has 50+ of this set somehow. The set was gift with purchase from
LEGO. Either someone placed multiple orders with LEGO to get 50+ sets or they
got it from another means.

Any idea how would someone get 50+ of 40712 sets legally?

those are all in china. rules are very different there. look at US only listings
its only 1-3 qty with one person having 10 as the most available.

Stunning in person. They're everywhere in this area just now, a popular tree
for many up here. Short lived though, they'll have dropped their blossom
in a couple of weeks. After first shifting from brilliant pink to white.

Washington state is the top U.S. producer of apples, pears, and sweet cherries?
Especially the crops in and around our volcanoes, the Rainier and St. Helens
regions with that special volcanic soil. Washington produces more than 90% of
the nation's organic apple crop.

Seems every few homes have their trees blossoming just now. Makes for a wonderful
drive to the shore

And it's days like these that I miss having to pick up my daughter on campus.
I'd arrive early just to wait under the canopy of their famous Japanese imported
cherry trees.

Meanwhile in Chicago…

Hey, I know that roundabout! That's Al Capone Lane

Seriously though, looks like a nice neighborhood. Late spring, or even Summer
and Fall pics would be nice too

Sincerely sorry for those poor people.
They don't know they're living one of their best time at this moment


Ain't that the truth, fellow old man

  Don’t forget tonight at 2:00am to 3:00am the 95% off sale will be running.

My internet has been out since late Friday, and probably won’t be back up till
tomorrow minimum.(I’m using data)

But the sale will continue.

Happy buying tonight!

Thank you for honoring your sale, a man of his word!

Order placed for all the minifigs, sets, and various parts (so no need for local
pick-up after all).

Niek.

Well too bad for all the doubters that missed out
Saved me some money

Thanks for posting that the sale did happen too.

Just a heads up you might want to update your store banner. Unless you’re doing
another sale

Thanks for the tip, that could have ended poorly.
