Analyzing 7036 Dwarves' Mine

[speaknspell]

Dwarf mine coming to regular retail next year in all major markets. Hoth base, 4th quarter TRU exclusive, I'd bet money it won't be produced again. I eat lunch with the people who handle S@H forcasting, I'm probably right.

shameless plug here:

if you want DM that badly, buy them at my store!

You should've posted that link a couple of days before I ran out of money!

Asterios, this seems to be nothing more than an over-developed grudge or personal issue, and one with little concrete relevance, either to the argument you're making or to actual thread itself.

Your post has completely deteriorated into an all-out attack on TLG, rather than a relevant discussion about this set or a follow-up comment to Dunechaser's original post.

If I want to hear biased attacks against both a product and company I adore, i'm pretty sure i'd go to one of the competitor's websites for simply that, and not here.

nothing Biased about it,if i was biased against LEGO believe me i wouldn't spend any of my money on them when ever i had some,instead i'd buy cheapo or garbage-o or whatever their calling the clone stuff,am i mad at LEGO for its lack of solid color in the same color?yes (who isn't),am i mad at LEGO for bricks that won't connect together or misshaped?yes i am (who isn't?),am i mad at LEGO's Reps?No i'm not their doing their job and doing it well,they are a well meaning lot that gives out what info they can and when they can,but remember they only know what they are told nothing more,as it goes their is a possibility the Dwarf's mine may return but i'm thinking maybe in June or later if at all,i just don't see it showing up any earlier (maybe in May though),do i want the set not to be made anymore?no i want them to continue this set it is by far one of LEGO's better Castle sets (going by pictures i've seen of the set).

now quit getting on my case i'm trying to relax and think of a couple of good trade/market sets to design so i can win me a Dwarf mine set.

as far as saving up for a Dwarf's set,sorry but this year has been an exceedingly ruff year for me and i can barely keep up with bills let alone keep food in the house ,so spending money on a LEGO set no matter how much i want it is not in the cards for me.

This year has been exceedingly rough on me as well, Rick. Except I don't post and complain about it. Instead, as I suggested you do a while ago up thread, I put my energy into other things and I was able to get my hands on a Dwarfs Mine through my friends in the LEGOverse, and in this particular case it had nothing to do with my position at Classic-Castle (happened to be a TexLUG member).

But if we're talking about rough years - my company hasn't been able to give me regular paychecks since January 2007 due to a variety of reasons which I won't elaborate publically. I've been lucky if I got one paycheck a month (normally get two), and I've had to borrow thousands of dollars from my parents, my grandparents, my friends, and my Discover card just to keep my house and food in the stomach of my wife, my 16 month old son and myself. In April of 2007, my mortgage company said 'oops' and raised my mortgage $200 a month because they 'forgot' about taxes they were supposed to pay via escrow, so I have to make up the difference. Had I been getting normal paychecks we'd just be squeaking by with this increase, but it's just forced us to borrow more. Because of my borrowing, my parents are having to dig very deep just to pay their property taxes this year so they don't lose their own house. With the exception of the Joust set, I haven't bought a single LEGO set this year unless I first had to sell either LEGO from my own collection or from profits from commissioned MOCs.

And yet few on this board even knows about it. Why? Because I've made the choice to putting my energy into constructive efforts, and it's paid off. By selling LEGO, commissions, even skipping lunches and pulling a fe favors, I was able to get the Dwarfs Mining set, build a few new MOCs and traveled to several LEGO oriented events (though I was forced to miss Brickworld). I was even able to pay a few bills, too.

Put your energy into something more constructive, Rick. You'll enjoy life more.

This topic is turning into a never ending argument. That violates the Classic-Castle TOS. I am locking this thread.
