    Again. I understand the prices are off putting. But I’ve literally watched thousands of you walk away with $1000 of STUFF. 
    Yeah but they were flipping that stuff.
    Sounds like they’re no better than $250 tickets then.

    Straying from thread integrity but the LEGO Home Alone set is a great build/set if you can find one.  
    It’s not a coincidence that the Home Alone set and one ticket to see EV with fees is about the same price.  😉

    You’re entering lego holy grail territory with that one 😁

    I’ve bought a bunch of lego sets the last couple years… mostly out of nostalgia - ghostbusters ecto-1, all the Scooby Doo sets, friends, Seinfeld, Flintstones, the 60s Batman bat mobile, and a few more.  Now the Home Alone set. I haven’t opened any of them yet.  🤦🏻‍♂️

    Haha...I was just about to reply and ask how long they take you to build on average.  I got my answer!

    Too damn funny.  Smart kid!  ;)  I really do want this Home Alone set though.  My kids absolutely love the movie and we watch it as a family multiple times each year around Christmas.  Would be a fun project, but probably would take an eternity to finish.

    :lol:    I think I have about a week and a half left of Home Alone.  I’m doing 1 or 2 bags per day after work.  It’s pretty satisfying to get something done after spending 8 hours attempting to get stuff done.  

    Like I said this will be an annual Christmas decoration for us lol.  I say open this one!

    I think they are hoping some rich dude doesn’t notice and says “row 1 awesome” then pulls out the Amex black card and brags about getting front row tickets

    Are we laughing at the scalper because Gallery tickets are bad, or because there is no Row 1 in the Gallery?

    So rampant I guarantee more than a few flippers were complaining about prices. But of course the band and Ed are the hypocrites
