Welcome fellow Chicago area LEGO person! Please, tell us a bit more about yourself!

+1 LegoCrazy81 Top Notch!

Can't really tell, is that Luke from 7201?

I think it might help if you knew what you were looking for. Older stuff is going bye bye, and new sets are coming in every week!

Updated everything before this post tonight!

Shirtless Mauls were/still are available in France TRU's correct? Thats where the seller of mine told me he got it from. TC-14s were/are a promotional item/GWP so good chance you won't get exact numbers on those. ARF Shadow Troopers were also a GWP, but those have come and gone at this point so those will start rising no doubt.

Yeah, I was there recently...about a month ago. But things change very quickly at a LEGO Brand Retail store. Exclusives? Like what, the Exclusive line? Yes, of course they do. They carry all of the modular buildings, the Hainted House, the B-Wing...etc... Build A Minifig can change weekly depending on how much is bought but until new items are introduced, you really won't see much that's new or never seen before. Grab Bags have been discontinued at the stores. Polybags are very rare other than the Brickley or Seasonal themed items. As for in stock on the Haunted House or Town Hall sets...give them a call. LEGO Water Tower Place, Chicago, Illinois, USA...312 / 494 - 0760 They open at 11am.

Series 8 CMF have been spotted at LDC and they also have the Green Ninja for all of you Ninjago fans.

My thoughts exactly! This is not a message board where we discuss the best ways to steal LEGO. Stealing is wrong, plain and simple. This thread is closed. Watch it!

As an avid SWTOR player (pm me for more), and for non SWTOR players, I definitely recommend the FURY! SWEET BUILD! There are a few great ideas on this ship...creating the angles of the wings, the slide out hidden compartement in the aft, and the cockpit design. As I was building it, I got the wings on and thought how loose and unstable the ship really was, until the next step when I plugged in the technic pins to hold everything in place! Super Swooshable! Didn't even bother with building the Republic Striker, just the figs and the droid, which is a very good representation. The Desert Skiff is much different compared to the one from years back. Let alone the minifigures that are included; it's a decent little build. I wasn't impressed with Jabba's palace at first glance, other than the fantastic minifigures that were included. But after parting the set out last night, this is a great set. Again, that's for parts and figs. I did not build it, I just tore it apart. If money is your concern, then hey, let's be honest...LEGO may not be for everyone. It's a premium product that holds up over time (except for some instances of white fading or yellowing way to fast) and with that premium product comes a price.Don't forget, these are all fairly new sets that will be around for a while. So keep your eyes open and look for those deals.

So, since this is exactly the kind of thread that is suppossed to be in this forum, I figured I would fire it back up again...after 2 years... Heard a rumor that the TRU in Niles had Series 8 CMF? Anyone nearby able to validate that?

I'd say welcome back buddy...but it's almost like you never left. So instead.... Kiss my megablocks!

Relocated this thread to Special LEGO Themes.

Yup, broadcloth. LD beat me too it. I took a cape into a fabric store and found out.

List was updated in April-May of this year. Unfortunately, stock has been low on many of the new items all over.

Last question... You're going to a huge LEGO fan convention! What are you the most excited about? Socializing! But I took your test and came up as... You are the most like the Customizer archetype!

Oh man, you must be a Cub fan? Just messin' with you. Good to see more Chicagoland folk on here. You'd be shocked at how many of us there really are. Welcome to EB, any questions, give us a shout. See you around the boards! GO SOX!

AMAZING VIDEO! It was so cool to look at everything all put together like that. I fear too many of us that get everything together don't really get a chance to take a good look at all the final product. So cool. I'm linking this out to so many people right now! I'm so damn jealous you took this name!

Gotta have your ship 'completed' before the judges walk around to do the niminations... Good job on the ship Q!

Woodfield's PAB is stocked with whatever I could get that was available. I have a secondary display already in the middle of the store...took care of it before I left today and then linked a pic on Facebook. My phone won't stop beeping!

Pizza without cheese does not exist. It is not pizza then.
