That's a cool set but geez, at $350 there is absolutely no chance I buy it.  Even half off wouldn't be enough.   I'm finding my Lego expenses have really dropped like a rock with all the price increases.  So many sets I WANT out but the only stuff I have bought in the last 6 months or so are the...

Huh. Interesting. Sounds like same happened to me. Was your double Rowlf? Because I bought 2 boxes and am only missing Fozzie also. (edit: see you already answered that. Still odd we both ended up missing Fozzie!)

I missed out on the space coin but managed to get the gold one by being totally lucky. They said it was going to drop at 9:30 AM (EST).  I was setting up my account to be pre-logged in on my phone at 9:02AM and saw it.  I assume it dropped at 9.  So even when they release at a reasonable time...

I have the roller coaster set up and it is amazing.  My favorite of the fairground sets by far, but yes it has a huge footprint.  It is also VERY fragile.  I moved it once and it barely held together, despite sliding it onto a piece of solid wood to transport it.   It is also very finicky and...

I'm probably just going to sell my coins, since I missed the Space one but got the other 3.  It will forever bother me I could not complete the set otherwise. Though I had to fight with customer service to even get the pirate one since apparently the minifigure limits on the website are...

Maybe! As a precaution against that potential situation, I put my mask on after only licking it once.

I've been noticing a decrease in quality control from Lego lately or I'm also having bad luck. My NES set isn't fully built yet but bag 1 had an incorrect swapped piece. Fortunately it was a common piece so i just went into my spare bins and pulled out a dark grey wedge but this is the 3rd set...

Yikes.  Some of these sets are pretty cool but I'm not paying those prices.  

 I was interested when the Mario sets were announced, but they did a really poor job with them.  I'm going to wait for sales on any of these at those price points.

Lego Voltron is now on Prime sale.  $143.96. I grabbed one and was sure to select amazon packaging this time because this time I caught the warning it would come in packaging that reveals what it is.

Got my Solo Millenium Falcon from the Prime Day deal already and hilariously Amazon just slapped some shipping stickers over the box art and shipped it that way.  Can't complain too much at the price, but I do usually keep the larger boxes.  

Excitement! I can't wait to save 20% on 2 year old sets that Target and Walmart have had for 20-30% off numerous times!

Specs list it as 56.7 pounds which probably does not bode well for the material quality.

I keep all of my instructions in plastic storage tubs.  The kind you'd find at Lowes or Home Depot.  I throw a little cardboard on the bottom for the ridges they tend to have and just stack the instructions inside. I hit up 2 TRUs in NJ yesterday just to see if anything was left.  There was...
