Disney

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...

Per Brickset:

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)

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that at my local Target in Boisbriand (Quebec), LEGO 41054 : Rapunzel's Creativity Tower is listed at 34,99$ instead of the regular Lego Store price of 49,99$. The Target price is the regular one, I had it confirmed by one of the clerks. It's 30% off for this set. May your daughters enjoy it!

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.

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.

I just started collecting legos recently and cheaply so I've been checking out the local walmarts for clearance. I picked up Macks Road Trip 5816 without any real interest in it, but it was only $30. I've seen them selling for over $100 new, so I was wondering, should I sell now or should I sit on it for a bit? It's a duplo set and a younger theme, doesnt seem like it will get much higher in my opinion, but I've only just started collecting. It's new in box but has a crease/dent in box. Thanks for the help.

(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…

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…
