So far I've only found the S13 CMF's at one of my local Targets, the Walmarts, Walgreens and the other Target didn't have them yet.
I'm in SoCal, btw.

So I really want 75055 star destroyer but it's out of stock in my location at physical retailers. Amazon's price is way marked up.
Is it going out of print soon?

I doubt it the set came out not long ago. Amazon price is probably because of holidays demand.

It is only like 6 months old or so. It has a lot of time left. People are just waiting for restocking.

Just looked on Bricklink and one place in U.S. has it for $8.98 and another for $8.99, then it jumps way up. If you wait a little bit, it may come down a bit when supply is a bit higher. There are only 3 per box and demand so far is HUGE for hot dog guy.

Just read someone in my neck of the woods saw them at Walgreens. Places like that though stop carrying stuff like that without any notice. Frys Electronics used to carry LEGO CMFs for a few series then just stopped.
It will be around for at least 1 more year IMO.
Have to be careful on Amazon. When Amazon is out of stock, all the resellers start showing up with their hiked up prices. Once Amazon is in stock again, Amazon will start showing up again as the seller.
Always pay close attention to the sellers. Also, I use sites like Brickset.com to check the MSRP prices. You can use LEGO site to check MSRP prices too.

LegoGAF, i need some help with interior design here:
I am wanting to build a big set to put on permanent display in this space:
Now that is an Ikea Expedit shelf, meaning it has enough space to display something like the Black Pearl comfortably (since it was sitting on there before). I am unsure what to put on there next and it want it to look great obviously but also somewhat "classy" if that makes sense since we have a pretty sober look in our place.
Should i put :
a) Queen Anne's Revenge
b) the Sea Cow
c) the Death Star
in there?
(i guess a distant last option would be Benny's Spaceship but somehow i feel that's pushing the envelope with my wife)
also: would the Sea Cow or Death Star even fit properly on there or look too big for that kinda shelf?

A more squarish space is best for the Death Star. Sea Cow is actually not that deep, but it is long.
Might I suggest Ewok Village as another option too.

Currently at the Santa Clara store and they have a single Tumbler. Damn, it's so tempting. But my wife would kill me.

Santa Clara store only had Cinema, Parisian and Dectective. You'd better order the Pet Shop from S@H, it's not going to be around much longer.
I'll be purchasing the Cinema during the next double VIP.

I have the same shelf in one of my rooms. I've always displayed the latest Star Wars UCS model there, so soon it will be home to the UCS Slave I.
Barring that, from your list I would either go with the Sea Cow or QAR - of course the Sea Cow is a bit more comical than the QAR, but it is also more interesting to look at, with its myriad of details.

That is only one of the many awesome entries in the TBB's Chibi Micro Contest.
EDIT:
I decided to just enter my Chibi Golden Dragon even though it may not qualify. Rules weren't very clear.

I took a new picture of my building area after the last addition of more sorting boxes. I'm constantly running out of space in the small drawers so I need to put stuff in bigger bins.

Nice modular setup.
Congrats on "leveling up/graduating" your LEGO elements. I'm constantly moving items from a smaller drawer to larger drawers too. If I have too many of an item in one color, I throw it ziploc and put in one of my bulk boxes.

Wow, that's really nice. What are you using for the 'table', and how did you attach it to the Expedit shelves?I took a new picture of my building area after the last addition of more sorting boxes. I'm constantly running out of space in the small drawers so I need to put stuff in bigger bins.

It's a Lack sidetable, using only the upper part. It's attached along both edges with a dedicated connector (for Lack/Expedit) that Ikea sells.

Ok all, I'm new to Lego building, kind of caught the bug a few months ago. I've been mainly building the marvel/dc stuff, really started with the GotG stuff. Bought a Tumbler already, but haven't built it.
I'm sitting on $200 in gift cards to Amazon. What are some good choices? I know about the modulars from reading this thread, but not sure if I want to blow the full amount on one building.
Haven't quite got the fever that bad yet.
HALP.
Oh, got Benny's Spaceship for me and my daughter to build.
Edit - They have Exo Suits in stock, that's a good one right?

Just get yourself a Death Star. You know you want to.
Exo-Suit is very interestimg. Its very cool to have and sit in shelf, but play wise not so much.
I would still recommend you get it.
I'd only get the Exo Suit if you only plan to display it. It is very fragile.
I'd recommend the AT-AT, Bike Shop & Cafe or the Ultra Agents Headquarters truck.

In cart right now updated:
Bike Shop and Cafe
Exo Suit
Dragon Mountain
Delorean
I think I'll go with these. I was planning on making a run to the Lego Store in the next week to see what catches my eye. Yes, the Death Star is on my list. Wife is gonna kill me.
EDIT just saw the suggestions. Lemme look at em lol.
Oh and I have the Ecto 1 already.
EDIT 2 - A lot of stuff is third party seller and above retail price. I would assume because of Christmas? Agent HQ is 40 higher than retail.
Holy crap I want the Agent HQ. That's a buy at the Lego Store or Target.

The good doctor knows what is up. You know you want the Best Star.
If you are going to do something, do it right.
There is no kill like overkill.
EDIT: Look at it this way, with all that Amazon credit, you are only paying 50% out of pocket for the awesomeness of the Best Star.

Except the cheapest one is like 480 bucks.

I echo the AT-AT recommendation if you like Star Wars; great set.
If it is still available, the Creator Family House is a very pretty and playable set you and your daughter might enjoy. You also might want to consider the Dolphin Cruiser. Despite the Friends dolls, it is beautiful (my daughter is about 50% through it now).

I will call the Lego Store tomorrow and see if they have a Death Star.

Awesome. I am trying to find a setup where I can get the modulars all lined up like that. They look so much more awesome when cobbled together like that.
Also, is the Quinjet making a grocery stop? I noticed Smaug making a shopping trip like some others.
The Agent HQ was just clearanced at a lot of Targets for 40-50% off MSRP. I picked one up for the super fabulous price of 48 dollars last week.

Damn. All I saw on clearance at my Target were some Mixels and random SW sets at the insane 15% discount.
CronosBlade
Member
Really? Inventory tracker shows a few left near me, but I don't recall seeing it on clearance. I picked up a few clearance items, one was a Hero Factory build, and the other is SW but I forget, I know it has Anakin's apprentice in it.
Well looks like I have multiple stops tomorrow.
BentBricks
Member
YMMV (Your mileage may vary). Each store has allocated "funds" for clearancing items and it's up to the manager or whoever is in charge of the toy section to decide what to clearance and how much. Places where sales are good or in areas where people have money rarely see good clearances. Or if they do, they never make it to 50% off or more.

It was only a matter of time before Disney corporate execs wanted more synergy between their properties incorporated.

By the way, is Chima gonna be discontinued?
I feel like i'm the only person on LEGOGAF who even acknowledges that brickfilms exist.
Oh well. That 2016 wait is painful, but at least we have a lot of stuff like this in the meantime
