5 pointsI popped into Wal-Mart where I've been watching some older sets for discounts. They have an entire 2-sided isle of legos marked down and an additional 50% off the marked price. I spent $2000, but scored 10 Lego 9398 for $45 each; 3 Millenium Falcons for $32 each; SW Jek 14 $15 each; and 5 Goblin Attack Sets for $22 each. I also grabbed a bunch of smaller sets for kid's Christmas gifts. I broke the bank, but I'm set for Christmas selling. The only set I left behind was TMNT Shell Raiser. I figure if they have to discount them when the new movie just came out than TMNT must be a loser. Now I have to bust the blow dryer to pull off the clearance stickers without damaging the sets.5 points

3 pointsI got this deal on EBAY last friday but did not want to post until I actually received them. I tought it was to good to be true. It was on the toysrus canada ebay page. The deal lasted like 5 minutes and it was all gone (well five minutes after I got there) I managed to get 5 Fire Transporter (4430) at 11.50$ CAN shipped and tax included. Pretty sweet deal but tought they might cancel the order. But they got here today Will be an easy flip for christmas at around 55$ a piece around here. Should I hold to one or two? Its retired and its kind of a unique fire set.

Careful, you're handling hotcakes using that strategy! We don't get that many deals, don't hog them all! And if you do that too often, we might just have to resurrect the White House posts from that other thread to recover a little national pride....2 points

I had to look this up because I've never tried a corn dog. 'A delicious hot dog surrounded in sweet corn batter and fried to a crispy golden brown' it sounds like a heart attack on a stick, but what the heck I'll have 3 of them!1 point

1 pointSince it sounds like you are looking for general information on the Creator theme, you can probably look through some of the Blog Articles. Here's one that I found very informative and helpful: LEGO Creator Housing Market: Boom or Bubble? by Veegs. Historically Creator sets do finely after retirement, but I'll let you decide what you want to buy on your own.1 point

sometimes you just gotta go for it. sell something if you need to help fund it ($-wise). that is what i did to buy some of my personal sets including the latest (10196 GC - no box but had 2 new sound bricks & a used one). i already sold one of the sound bricks to help out.1 point

I agree. People like me, who grew up in the 80s and are obsessed with that decade's clearly superior pop culture, will love this set. I think it will really appreaciate after EOL. Where else are you going to get a Doc Brown and Marty minifig? Where else are you going to get a hoverboard, flux capacitor or OUTTATIME license plate piece?1 point

Then it will please you to know I left more on the shelf than I purchased. Was there for work and just to curious to see what a Canadian TRU had. I was surprised to see full range of monster fighters as well as many other retired sets I have not seen in the U.S. for many months, though at rather high prices.1 point

The one I think that will do well is the Unexpected Gathering. It is iconic to both tales. There are not a lot of sets that have the ability to show up in a number of different movies. Also, I always wonder if they will make a movie out of the tale of the return to the shire at the end of the Return of the King, the battle of Wormtoungue. . They pretty much skipped over it in the movie but since they made three movies out of the Hobbit it can't be too hard to plan a movie for this story and make half a billion dollars. Either way - I still think the hobbit house is cool and under appreciated as a scene piece.1 point

1 pointIn a box of 30, there's 3 complete sets of 9, plus an extra set of one of the tribes. I think in series 1, there's an extra set of infernites; and series 2 its frosticons.1 point

I'm sorry but this thread needed to be resurrected for the following auction. This is awesome. Only asking $500 OBO. Hey, it just be a deal since AFA "U" graded it. Yes folks, someone mailed AFA an unopened Batman JetSki poly and paid them to open, build, grade,and encase it. Who the heck pays another person to build a Lego set. Jeez. Don't get me started... u grade. JOKE. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-mini-figure-vehicle-BATMAN-with-JetSki-were-graded-/301290180515?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item46264b4fa3 Update : I hope the flippers and flick missile heads fall off the BatSki. Oh, I'm livid.

Guess I should be patient and ask more for mine, if this is it the price is definitely going up. Something tells me Lego will release more though, it`s just strange. Remind me of Minecraft a couple years back, major spike in price, then more is released and the price comes down.1 point

Both lines are crap. I could not sell the sets for 2x MSRP when they were still in production. Blah blah blah boring, blah blah blah small, blah blah blah brown * *The last set I criticized / blasted did rather well after EOL.. so here is hoping1 point

I definitely agree that this just needs more time. The selling prices are deceptive because most people bought these at a big discount, so most sellers only need to get to 25% over retail to double their money. For the majority of investment sets, it takes 2 years after retirement for a set to sell for twice retail. Everyone's feeling on investing has been skewed by the huge returns on a few high profile sets. Be patient, and every set in the LoTR line will do just fine, especially if you are comparing it to average returns in the stock market.1 point

1 pointIn this case you say "Oh, I only brought enough cash for the original price we agreed upon, can you wait here while I go to the ATM?" Then you go grab a cup of coffee, check daily deals thread on BP, go to supermarket to get some groceries, watch a few movies at the theater, go on a vacation to Cancun, then come back and tell the guy it turns out you didn't have your debit card on you. Because screw people who don't stick to their price.1 point

Like already mentioned, buy R2 and DS sets. The other sets should be available for a while. There had only been 1 Lego Sandcrawler (10144). before 75059. When you think it's near retirement, buy as many as you can. Orig Trilogy fans like myself go nutty over that vehicle. It's popularity among SW fans surprises most people. For some reason, people like me are still fascinated with Jawas even after nearly 4 decades. While not as popular as say the Falcon and X-Wing, it's a dark horse.

Forewarning this is a picture intesive post. It's a hot mess at the moment because I've been running very low on space and the kids like to play in there so stuff is just everywhere. Hopefully you guys enjoy my little collection. I've had a lot of fun putting it all together with the wife.

1 pointI have no information on this but talking about 10193 on another thread has got me thinking. 10223 is arguably the replacement for 10193. But it is also a Kingdoms set and when I was in the Lego store last month looking for 853373 chess set which had gone, they mentioned that the Kingdoms theme is going. So will this set be going soon after a relatively short life. It came out in early 2012. It's still available at LEGO Shop at Home UK (limit of 5) even the BP says it is not. The cheapest Amazon deal is1 point
