Yup. For other toys and figures, Back In Box could mean something that was opened, displayed/played with then put put back into the box.

Still 1 Arkham Asylum at 1U TRU.

And I saw 1 Jabba's Palace at RM 819.90?!?! SERIOUSLY? Box condition is pretty worn.

Only thing that remotely interests me is LOTR Shelob Attack or the Police Helicopter Arrest.

Yup, I'm planning to. Just holding off the LOTR theme first but it's in my Wishlist. Probably going to start that once I finish my Batman theme tongue.gif

Interesting 4-part documentary about AFOLs. Have you guys seen this before?

Blocumentary - The Impact Of The LEGO Brand: AFOL - Part 1

Blocumentary - The Impact Of The LEGO Brand: AFOL - Part 2

Blocumentary - The Impact Of The LEGO Brand: AFOL - Part 3

Blocumentary - The Impact Of The LEGO Brand: AFOL - Part 4

Check out what one of them says in Part 1 of the video. At around 2 mins 30 secs, he is asked does he know how much he spent on LEGO.

The AFOLs response "Umm, yeah I have a rough idea. And it's scary. I'm figuring probably a couple hundred thousand dollars. Over a 35 year period. With the last 10 - 15 years, our budget (if you can call it that) has been in the neighbourhood of 500 - 1000 dollars a month".

Answered like a BOSS! biggrin.gif

Bro. Don't say you're not into it. Same like me but after watching LEGO designer video and reading reviews plus seeing the photos. Tempted also.

Unfortunately, it's not the top priority for me and also reloading bullets.

I think I wanna quit Hot Toys after this. See if I can get Catwoman first or not. Maybe that will be my final piece then focus on LEGO tongue.gif

Lucky I'm not into Iron Man - Hot Toys milking collectors dry with all the different versions!

Reporting live from 1U.

TRU was first stop:
- Arkham Asylum set is gone
- There appears to be some restock for LOTR and Hobbit sets. Saw some pretty good condition Shelob Attacks and Attack On weathertop sets.

Didn't really notice the others as they don't really interest me, even The Hobbit.

AEON:
Sad to say, nothing to report. Saw them filling up the LEGO glass cabinet with Furby toys!

Talking about AEON, they are really f***ed up, I suspect they keep some new LEGO stock and re-release it back on the shelves after the 10% sales is over.

Then forever they won't sell and we lose. I don't know how many consecutive sales I've seen them having.

Now is Aeon Carnival. Before this was Aeon Card Member. And just before that was something else. Anyone else noticed this as well?

For those looking for AA, brickboys gardens just restock, with other exclusive sets. Rm699 with 10% discount  rclxms.gif

I see camper van, Death Star and SSD as well. Together with winter village, R2d2 and modulars.

Just a question - any way to tell from the blog/site which store has the new stocks? I spoke to them before and apparently the different stores get stocks at different times.

If you know me earlier , U needn't. Many years ago after I bought my first real townhouse (which I'm living in now) ,  I sold off set 4954 Town house at 20% off retail.

First time I've seen/heard of the set. Looks good!
