The LEGO Movie

What do people think of this as investment?

Does anybody think this exclusive polybag (30280) will be worth grabbing? I still don't know how I feel about the movie sets, but I am a polybag junkie, especially when they're free!

I'm always on the lookout for unique sets to add to my modular street setup. I'm curious how this set, when built in the convential ice cream truck configuration, might look parked across the street from the Pet Shop or Green Grocer?

70810 MetalBeard's Sea Cow is a great set...apart from the miniaturized version of MetalBeard himself. This obviously means that the only realistic version of MetalBeard fans can acquire is in fact 70807 MetalBeard's Duel. I think this disappointed a few fans to realize they got a wimpier version of MetalBeard in a $250 set, but that's all a part of LEGO. Since he is *technically* an exclusive figure (I say technically because he's a buildable model more than a figure, but whatev's), is this a better "The LEGO Movie" set to stock up on?

As I mentioned in daily thread, you would be able to get it from BN, but too bad coupons don't work for pre-order items. Otherwise, discount GC and 20% off coupon would work out nicely, even if it is priced at 41.99. Might wait until 17th - I still have one printed coupon valid until 22nd.

708 pcs. 4 minifigs (Emmet, Angry Uni-Kitty, and 2 Skeletrons). RRP US$59.99, CA $74.99, EUR 59.99 I'd been hoping to buy this one below US$40. Now on sale at TRU.com at $55.99. There were a couple aging in the clearance aisle at my Walmart at $45... then there was one... and now, with Amz prices at $69.99, I decided I'd better get it. I bought it as a special treat, I gave it to my son last night. We love it. Very fun set, fun to build, fun to play with. Has lot's of interesting, large, chunky parts... pieces "you don't see every day". Once these run out at the retailers, I think this could be a winner.

I noticed the Cloud Cuckoo Palace is listed online as online only now (and shows sold out ). Does this suggest some of the early Lego Movie sets will start to lose their shelf space in stores? As a former store logistics manager, when we couldn't keep something in stock we eventually dropped it from our system and gave the space to an adjacent product. I wonder if a second wave of movie sets might be coming? This set has been popular in stores and online for awhile, I wonder if replenishment will ever catch up at the store level.

The Lego Movie Micromanager Attack 30281 polybag has been spotted at Meijer... Hopefully it shows up at other stores as well since I am not driving 90 minutes to go to Meijer!
