dr01d3k4 Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 i was thinking of getting a 3 or 4 part time jobs a local TrU stores then taking all there star wars sets out to the store room and opening them up >:-) why 3 or 4 jobs? I just thought about an idea.Disguise yourself as the bombsquad - Bring a shopping waggon disguised as bombtransporter! Then clear out the intire sektion of SW and claim they could contain bombs :-D i don't think lego sets could contain bombs, great idea though :-D Quote
rexcal Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 On a more serious note, all this talk about weighing the individual sets is great and I have a few tips for those that are brave enough to venture into the store with a small scale. First thing you need to have is a cell phone, why you ask, so you can talk to a friend or at least pretend to while you are doing this. The reason being is most employees do not bother you while you are on the phone, plus you can say that you are figuring out shipping charges to ship said boxes and deciding on which you want to buy. Paper and a pen, and finally a lot of chutspa. Excellent! :-D Reminds me of some newspaper article which said that women more and more pretend to talk on their mobile while walking around town, because they feel safer then and also avoid brash guys haunting them. :-$ Quote

Ladies that do that need to come to my classes :-D Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I wonder where people are going to get these "brickbusters." :-D -ZotS Quote
Khorne Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I wonder where people are going to get these "brickbusters." :-D -ZotS Black market? :-P Quote
mutley777 Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 why 3 or 4 jobs? Each job at a different stores, which equals more sets. It was a joke! :-| Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I bet everyone wants to go to a store and steal every Lego star wars set, open them, look for Chrome C3PO's, take them, seal the boxes back, and send them back to the store. Am I correct? :-D -ZotS Quote

Am I correct? :-D -ZotS there is two bad parts with that idea: 1.how are you going to steal the lego, 2.the shop will find out you opened the sets. also, the C3PO's are gold, not chrome Quote
xwingyoda Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 also, the C3PO's are gold, not chrome You are both correct ;-) The colour is called Chrome Gold (its more shiny than the Chrome Antique Brass ;-) *yoda* Quote
Vader Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Yeah and whats the bet it will be really easy to scratch :-| Quote
sam89 Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 also, the C3PO's are gold, not chrome Actually, the 5 gold C3P0s can only be won in an online competition coming up later this year. The ones that will be included in boxes are just chrome ;-) Quote
vahkimetru Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 While I'm a slight fan of the Hasbro line, chase figures belong with Hasbbro, building sets with Lego. I'm going to be sick (again). :-X Quote
Scouty Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I bring unfortunate news in this bump! "According to some disappointing new info on the FBTBforums, the 10,000 gold 3POs will be distributed only in the USA." That's not bad for me, but I'm sorry for the other countries of the world. Quote
xwingyoda Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Here is my reply: SCREW YOU TLC !! SEriously this Pro US policy each time really pisses me off big time !! Hope they choke from it, freaking bastards >:-( >:-( >:-( Really pissed off *yoda* Quote
Vader Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Well if this info is true then it goes to show once again how highly us in europe are rated by TLC, and to think they wonder why we complain so much |-/ Quote
DoubleT Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Well maybe we should start a signatur collection, that all can be apart of.. About C3PO and to respect non american fans Quote
Zane Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Well, it's not like you'd actually have much of a chance of getting one anyway. So it's no big deal really. Just eBay it for an extortionate amount of money. ;-) And it's better than tham not existing at all I suppose. Quote
mutley777 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 From what i read it is not a official response yet from lego. So here is hoping that it turns out not to be true. Quote

Well their may of been a low chance of winning one but at least their was a chance and it would of been fair. Quote

Starwars4J Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 herE:http://img137.imageshack.us/my.php?image=goldenc3poxt8.jpg We already had pictures waaaaaaaaaay back of the 5 Gold droids :-P Thanks anyway though. As for the US-only thing Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh- er, I mean I'm sorry guys 8-| On a serious note, starting a petition would be a good idea. Especially since we have this wonderful new Ambassador's forum! If anything, it should go there. Who knows, they might do a second 10k droid run for europe if it gets big enough. We can advertise it on other sites as well, or rather get other sites to do it, and have each one link to the petition at all the others. Of course each person can only sign it once. Quote
Ras 74 Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 If TLC decides to release those sets with golden 3POs in USA only they are plain stupid. I know me and many with me will order SW sets from USA this summer. Maybe this is a question for our dear Ambs. browsing and posting often at those boards these days? Quote
casewindu Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I bring unfortunate news in this bump!That's not bad for me, but I'm sorry for the other countries of the world. WTF! ! ! ! ! ! THAT IS CRAP!!! >:-( >:-( >:-( >:-( |-/ |-/ |-/ |-/ TLC have made such a mistake! ! ! (luckily i am going to america in the summer for holiday) is it just me or does it seem like lego has become American? Quote
Scouty Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Eeeh, sorry to bring it. This is good for Americans since it gives us a better chance of aquireing one. It's kind of a good/bad thing going on here. And it's not good to go directly to point at TLC. Maybe there were cost reasons. Something like that? Think of that? I'm sorry for the rest od the World, but don't be bashing TLC. They do bring us what we are today ;-) . A petiton would be a good idea, one I'd sign for :-) . Quote
