Re: Toys 'R' Us Sale!

For those that aren't aware, twice a year, Toys 'R' Us (TRU) has a buy 2, get 1 free sale and it's going on now! I, for one, wait just for these sales to get my goods. :) Hmm... how do you know they do it twice a year? Do you know when the are usually scheduled, or is it random? The last TRU Lego s...

Re: mid-sized castle

Something the size of Black Falcon's Fortress would be great! That was exactly what I was thinking when I saw this post. I liked the Tower Raid and the new Drawbridge set looks good, but they seem smaller. The trade off is that the new sets are more detailed and use smaller parts instead of the cas...

Re: Should Lego update and bring back some of the old sets

I would personally like to see some of the older sets rereleased. I understand the potential cost if they use elements that aren't in production anymore. However, strictly with Castle (which is the main line I would want to see rereleases from) most of the parts are still in use. The only thing righ...

Re: LEGO.com Pick A Brick Price Explosion

I don't want to terribly side track, but are the skelton heads in PAB different from what they were before the update? The picture is of the older slightly more cartoonish looking ones and I don't remember if that was the picture before or not. I had been ordering skeletons in bulk through them beca...

Re: BEWARE the Meijer sale!

As far as I know, the registers always discount the lowest priced item for sales like this. The ads are usually worded in such a way to indicate this. I actually asked at the last TRU sale to be sure and that was what I was told. I just split them up. They tried to give me grief over it before ad I ...

Re: modern castle? v.s classic castle?

I own a reasonable number of classic sets (right up to Fright Knights), but I also own almost all of the Fantasy line. While I wouldn't mind some type of classic remade set in current colors (even updated design if necessary), overall I prefer the current sets. Having said that, I would like to see ...

Re: Review - 7041 - Troll Battle Wheel

One word: Overpriced :mad: Really? I know there's massive repitition with the parts, but 500+ parts and 5 figures for $40 is usually considered a good deal. Even better if you had ordered it from TLG for $28 while it was on sale for months. I like the set myself. I have 5 of them. I put 1 together ...

Re: If you could bring back any faction?

If I had to choose one, I would choose Black Falcons. I always liked their faction and wish I had more of them. On top of that, I would expect they would update them. Newer torso prints (like some with visible chain mail) and newer flags would be nice. The only real compromise I see as possibly bein...

I stopped at one of the Wal marts near me today and they told me that they could not resell them to me if I returned them. They said they had to restock them. I thought that sounded pretty absurd since me rebuying them on the spot would save them trouble. It is obviously a work around price adjustme...
