I wish they'd do more challenging mid size models.

Edit: 1000th post!

I found 3 21050 at B&****** on Thursday. They are still out there in some of the smaller markets. The same store also had a 6868. Of the lot I've only got one studio left.

I'm going to go very bullish on The White House next year.

I have sold 8 White Houses on eBay in the last 10 days.  First 3 at $70 and next 5 at $80 with free shipping.  Got them all for under $35 during the Target/Amazon cyber weekend craziness.  I would buy all of the Architecture that is out of stock at Lego.  Mainly it is at Barnes and Noble now.  This series is going to be amazing once they start EOLing.  I just hope Lego makes a few more next year so I can stock up again.  Looking back at the White House trajectory, I thinking it will hit $150 without too much trouble within 2 years after EOL.  Pretty good for a set that had a significant discount.

There's been several other good architecture sets that you can double to triple your money on.

I admit, I feel very uncomfortable when dealing with the lines like Architecture, technic, etc. Is the strategy/margins the same? Or getting Arch sets for 25%/35% off a bigger deal beause they are harder to find at the big retailers?

I expect the Guggenheim Museum to do well but, eh, not so much for the Rockefeller Center.

A bit of both. Technic is readily available here but I have no issues when selling the sets. A fair chunk of the Technic Power Functions sets do extremely well when discontinued especially the large sets like the Motorized Excavator, Tow Truck and Bulldozer amongst others.
