  1. grabbed the last one 60306 shopping street today for $42, clearance, box is bad and creased, but new and sealed
  2. I like these three themes ONLY - Creator Expert, Creator 3in1 and City. Nothing else. Only Creator Expert is popular here, Creator 3in1 and City aren't, but it also makes price here for these themes usually low
  3. In terms of size, it's just perfect, not too big, not too small. Quality is also good. Although I am getting more and more scratched bricks in recent years, they are not easily noticed with naked eyes. Investment value is also very good. I am living in a well developed area where many great products are widely available, priced cheap, and people are very wise so business is very difficult here but retired sets at raised price still sell quite well that you can at least make some extra pocket money, not enough for living though.
  4. Many people are already rich enough for their rest of life and even the rest of the life of their offspring but they are still hunting for money every day. Human beings are never satisfied
  5. Whether my opinion is constructive or not is not judged by you, because you are not qualified. In any manner. Age requirement? When I speak to mature people, I will use mature wording, when I speak to childish people, I will use "childish" wording, which one do you belong to?
  6. I'm also free to express my constructive view against this topic, according to your oppressive view. Yes, I am not satisfied with this topic, but I haven't gone away, and I can still post here, so what can you do to me? Hit me? LOL
  7. If you don't have a Paypal account and pay with offline method on that site, it is undoubtedly adding further risk. If you insist to buy on that site then avoid expensive items.
  8. You are not possibly going to lose your money if you pay through Paypal on that site because you can start dispute but a waste of time is unavoidable. Try to explore local shops in your area, you can check the Lego bricks in details before paying and when it's done, pay and go, quick and easy. I always buy on Amazon, or local shops, prices are often better and sources are always more reliable
  9. People never discuss the price increase for their own wages and salaries and take it for granted while they like to discuss the price increase for toys, if you are that unsatisfied about the price increase just go away and give up Lego, this doesn't worth any discussion.
  10. That many people in the Netherlands sell Lego on this site doesn't necessarily reflect that Lego is more popular in this country rather than the others. There are a lot greater and more reliable platforms in the world than the one you mentioned. In China and japan and many other Asian countries there are many many Lego fans too but we seldom sell on this site.
  11. I'm really missing City sets of "one small box 4 minifigure" e.g. Lego 60184. And as far as I remember, 60184 is the last one in recent years. There were a lot of "one small box 4 minifigures" a few years ago which really worth the money but now, I am getting more and more hesitated in buying those small city sets with one minifigure only. What is the possible reason behind? People getting tired of City minifigures and so they don't sell well? Or just because Lego sells so well and so they further reduce the cost by giving less minifigures?
  12. For those said to be retiring soon in Lego site, are they really retiring soon? Look like police patrol car has been "retiring" for some time but it is still selling on Amazon.com for long time and the Beach Rescue ATV seems to be too new to "retire soon"
  13. listed as retiring? What is the url? I'd like to look into it
  14. really?! thanks for this great line of information! sorry, but does date or year of retirement differ among different countries? Because I don't see any sign of this set retiring here (I very often check prices and availability of Lego sets that I am interested)
  15. Do you think 60262 (Passenger Airplane) is going to retire this year? I'd like to get one more set of it for keep but I don't want to get it recently because I don't have space to store it.
  16. Humidity? I know that heat will affect plastic but it should only occur under experimental condition or at very high temperature that shouldn't happen in anywhere of the earth. But how humidity affects plastic? Plastic should be inert to water in the air
  17. It's just an example, I'd like to renovate my bedroom where it will display complete sets and I am thinking if I make lots of small lamp of white light like this on the shelf, shining on the sets for long time, the lamps will be switched off sometimes, will it cause yellowing or does only sunlight cause yellowing? The distance between the light source and the Lego sets will be even smaller than this example picture.
  18. These Lego thieves are just even more ridiculous than other thieves, they are taking advantage of the loophole of the TLG's return policy while they may even believe that they themselves are not thieves. But fact is it's just illegal, it's only because Lego has overlooked the problem....Fortunately I have never bought from Lego stores, all my Lego sets are bought directly from other local reputable merchants who don't allow any return or refund after walking out of the shop no matter what. I will never, ever buy from Lego stores unless they largely tighten their return/refund policies one day. As an amateur Lego fans I can immediately detect that the staff at Lego stores here are just clueless, I can remember the set number, number of pieces, the new products and the recently retired products much better than any one of them. I truly believe that they may possibly never think of these Lego thieves in their mind, but they are doing this job and getting paid for this job so this is not an excuse. Honestly speaking, from my feeling for the staff here, I believe that it is VERY EASY to steal bricks and refund in the Lego stores here. I have never, ever done this and I will never do this bad thing but this doesn't mean other people won't do this.
  19. You've left one of the greatest comments to the world that I really admire. Yes, you've pointed out what I am always saying - people swapping bricks. In the worst-case scenario, those people carefully open the Lego box perfectly, taking out all the bags and replace it with pasta (e.g. Macaroni) and return it. I always wish to know how Lego is facing the challenge when it is unlikely that friendly return and refund policy will be changed in the future. I wish Lego would investigate the returned item before reselling it again to next customer or simply liquidate it. However at the moment I really don't know how they handle returned Lego sets, will they just put it onto the shelf and sell again without any investigation? It's a real danger to the fame of the TLG
  20. No it is for sale, asking approx. $20. I am interested because it looks great and is rare, but I am not able to find out any information about this set. The seller claims it is "version 2"
  21. Did you mean second one is likely to be fake??
  22. A user has been ignored by me for long time and in the list of "Ignored Users", but when he quoted and replied to me I am still notified with a red spot, does it mean it is not working? If it is, please fix it ASAP. it's really a waste of time to read ignored and useless contents.
  23. I don't understand why Creator 3in1 doesn't sell well because it almost always has the best price per piece while it comes with three booklets of instructions. Their design isn't bad either, Ferris Wheel, Castle, Seaside beach house, wow, all of them are so awesome. I can now still get some 3in1 sets released 5-6 years ago for the lowest price at the time before they retired, e.g. I can get 31026 now for around $50, 31036 for around $35 while other great sets like 31063 for less than $20. It's a myth
  24. I have uploaded again. Can you see it now and notice the difference?
  25. Did you notice the difference of the second picture? They are different
