Disney

Disneys themes seem to perform terribly. Not just one but all of Them. Cars and toy story being the worst of them all But even the potc sets have done poorly with the exception of the ships. Why do you think these sets have done so poorly on the after market and do you think the Lone Ranger, Star Wars and the super hero theme could follow (with the exception of exclusives)

A picture is floating around the Internet shows some upcoming Cars 3 sets for the movie next May. A picture has surfaced showing 6 sets. No details on the sets yet.

If you're a Frozen fan, this set is for you. Snowgies. Nuff said

A while back, I wrote a blog article about the Bottom 50 LEGO sets, Anatomy of a LEGO Investment Loser. Well, fast forward a year and the lowest of the low, the Toy Story 7591 Construct-a-Zurg, is making a comeback. If you take a look at the BrickIndex, you will see that the 7591 is number #4 on the list, UP 41.84% over the past six months. Not only that, but out of the Top 20 fastest growing sets of the past 6 months, 6 of the 20 sets...or 30%, consist of some of the worst LEGO Investment themes...Toy Story, Prince of Persia, Pharaoh's Quest and Atlantis. Is this the time to invest in these perennial losers?

The new Little Mermaid set looks like a really fun build, pics are up in the usual places.

If true, I’m a happy camper. ——- There’s a new rumor that we could be seeing the return of the LEGO Indiana Jones theme later this year. StoneWars is reporting that an online ship has listed a range of sets (75571-75574) codenamed “Coconut” that will be releasing in October that suggests that the theme will make its return after 13 years. LEGO does codenames for various themes which includes “Banana” for Minions and “Leaf” for Super Mario and the coconut may be referencing the ones found in the LEGO Indiana Jones 2 video game. As always, these are purely rumors until LEGO announces them or images show up at an online shop. Source = @tormentalous http…

So, my replacement Cavalries arrived 20 minutes ago... Also in padded envelopes... And in worse shape than the original ones... Unreal.

Saw this on a FB Lego group today: Rumor is Series 2 in September 2017, with another 18 minifigures in the set. Purple packaging, $3.99 USD MSRP.

Three sets so far, and the show is quite well received. 43181 - Raya and the Heart Palace 43184 - Raya and Sisu Dragon 43185 - Boun's Boat What do you guys think? Will the dragon set be elves part 2 in terms of appreciation? I don't think it looks fantastic though although it will certainly go into my dragons collection.

I have the chance of picking up a couple of 7597 Western Train Chase at roughly 60% off, what's your opinion on this set? I don't know this particular line very well and I'm second-guessing myself... TY.

The IR remote that I ordered in early March finally arrived on Monday. Getting the IR sensor to fit in the box car required a little modification from my original design, and I'm still working on some finishing touches (roof), but overall I am happy with how it's turning out. I'll do a brief write up on the new design, but tourist season is in full swing now so it'll be a while before I will be able to get to it. Anyway I had a couple requests for video so here ya' go...

Hi We have a messed up 7199 set which I could spend some time sorting out in order to sell. My question how do I price it. I looked the the info for it and it might fetch in $103 as it's second hand [in Australia]. I looked on ebay and can't see a recently sold set. So how do I know what to price it at? I should mention I have the box and instruction both in vg condition. Thanks! zeee

Hey everyone, just wanted to get your two cents regarding a couple smaller retired sets: 4192 POTC Fountain of Youth 4865 HP Forbidden Forrest. I have a chance to get up to 10 of 4192 for $25 each which includes all taxes and freight from a mom&pop; type shop, and up to 10 of 4865 for $15 which also includes tax and freight.. (I'm in CANADA) Just wondering if these might be good investments? I know both are retired, and 4192 was up almost 9% last month, just wondering where people think these might end up say 2 years down the road thanks for your input in advance! I know this isn't a very exciting post, just trying to use the tools at my disposal to make an investment…

Is anyone else as surprised as I am that this set isn't worth more since it EOL'd? It just seems like this is one of the closest and most authentic minifigures Lego may produce with and 'army' type orientation. Maybe a lot of people had the foresight and bought them up with they had the chance. The uniforms and helmets of the minifigures are very nice and nicely colored in particular the medic helmet. I'm surprised it isn't more popular. Just some food for thought.

Didn't know where to put this, sorry if reposting, sorry if wrong place.

I want to hear you .. this set seems to be a winner .. lots of good pieces How many have you bought ?? Any speculation ... Edit: Wrong section .. Can a Mod please move this topic under Disney ! Thanks Sorry can't move it !

Includes: 811 pieces, Walt Disney minifigure Expected Retail: $99.99

Per Brickset:

(Didn’t see a Disney 2018 thread yet, so I’m posting here for now) I was happy to see a Mulan set in the new Disney Princess sets! (41151 Mulan’s Training Day) Wonder if this will perform as well as the Merida set from 2014 (41051 Merida’s Highland Games)? It’s the only “Brave” set released by Lego, and it’s since doubled in price. I’m still kicking myself for not purchasing the 41060 Sleeping Beauty’s Royal Bedroom. That one sold out fast and has risen in value exponentially—still blows my mind. If you have this set lying around, consider selling now because there’s a new Sleeping Beauty set that just came out for 2018 (41152 Sleeping Beauty’s Fairytale Ca…
