It's really just as simple as that, to be honest. If they are available and you don't have one, and have the funds. Buy it! It's one set you won't regret the purchase of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Anyone ever buy after market stickers for alternative movie posters?PC is in my future to build. I love the idea of changing out movie posters to keep it interesting. I'd also like to mod the way the posters are placed in the building so I can change them out easily.

There are sellers on eBay that have stickers for different movies. I think there's one for The Force Awakens and Ghostbusters (2016) out there right now. They're pretty cheap. I never grabbed those stickers that LEGO had for a while, and now I regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGallows Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I always been very tempted by these, Ive just never get round to it. I'd try to mount them on card so they were interchangeable. 1 hour ago, dcdfan said: TFA would be cool.

If Smyths stock them then from what i hear there annual 20% off weekend is coming up so that could be an alternate route for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboy Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 2xVIP last year was the last two weeks of October for the EU. I'm hoping for at least the same this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenix_2k1 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Toys R Us had Palace Cinema down at £95 earlier in the year with £20 of gift cards too so keep an eye out for reductions there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I'd be a bit careful with modulars now if I were you and be prepared for a VERY long term hold as competition (and fakes) have increased somewhat. Times have changed since the Fire Brigade went EOL and you can now see that the Grand Emporium is only just over break-even in most cases after fees, postage and tax. One GE recently sold for "only" £185 (£200 posted) which equates to £24 profit after fees and giving the tax man his share. That to me is a very poor margin unless buy-in was -30% or less. There's virtually no opportuity now to get these sets at a discount and in the quantity to make it worthwhile. The PC could be produced for another 3 years for all we know and then the likes of TRU (with wholesale prices and vast warehouses) may have vast stockpiles to hog eBay for a long time afterwards. LEGO also now have vast production and storage facilities so why can't they keep churning this out until eternity if it sells well? There's no reason why 12 modulars can't be on sale at the same time. I've had it with modulars for the time being and I'll let the horde fill up their valuable space with long-term large, easily damaged boxes instead ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I've never built a modular before as always been more interested in technic / star wars, but I really like the look of palace cinema. Might pick one up on UK double VIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenix_2k1 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I never meant to get into building and collecting modulars but couldn't resist opening one of my £95 PC investments when I ran out of SW and Technic sets to build. Got to say I was very impressed with Palace Cinema. Think it'll be an in demand set a few years after retirement but who knows how long that will be.
