Let me save him the trouble. He's probably busy looking for some Quiznos boxes: [emazers voice]. Emazers has been telling you guys to buy these I've been picking up 3 a week for the past year now have 39 ill keep buying to 50 now don't miss the boat on the ds, ge, sw droid, etc this may be your last chance to get these so order as many as you can afford now "don't be like the people who are kicking themselves for not buying ssds instead of all that clearance crap Ed [/emazers voice]

They will either both be back, or neither will be. Or one will be back and one will not. Or both will be back briefly and then discontinued again. Or Exo will be and not RI or vice versa. There will either be one or more production runs of both, either, neither or no more runs of one or the other or both. It is likely that I will buy between 0 and 100 more of both. Prices will likely remain the same for RI, increase if supply is low, or decrease upon multiple more runs. For Exo the outlook looks the same. Mark my words, put it in the bank. My Lego manager insider told me, his wife plays bridge with the wife of a guy who works on the board of directors of some place that knows the CEO.

I started it. Sorry Mr. Mod.

Too much punctuation and capitalization.

Don't really understand why people almost always associate this set with "Halloween" Its a Haunted House. Its Haunted all year long. Its Haunted on Valentines day, Forth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas & yes, even Halloween. BTW, if you don't have one or want to get another one, buy it now, forget the Camper, GE, SC,PS ect...

I know the catalog is a poor indicator of EOL, but I would have to say the HH is a goner if they are not promoting it in the Fall catalog.

TRU Weekly Bricktober sets (1 each week) - Nice!

Finally someone knows what they are taking about.

This doesn't surprise me, it seems like Lego uses a weak tape for the seals. As was previously mentioned in the exo suit thread, the seals on those sets are slipping due to the strain of the box flap, gotta keep those sets packed tight or they'll eventually pop. Also, the seals on the SSD's tend to stretch and slip if they're moved around too much, probably due to the massive size of the set and only have 2 seals on each side. Lego really needs to re-evaluate how they seal sets, really wish they'd just go back to the punch tab style boxes for everything instead of taped seals.

The certainty in some people's posts is mildly humorous.

Is it haunted at Easter?

Kmart RI online page is gone.

..and into the arms of the Devil Reseller!

No worries the Macks just like us to run a tight ship.

I finally cleared off a shelf to display my B-Wing, I really like the set and it's pretty sturdy for what it is. The stand seems to work well, although a strong bump would probably knock it off. I've always loved this ship and the Y-Wing. I guess I have a thing for oddly shaped ships. I'm secretly hoping for a redo of the UCS Y-Wing to add to my collection.

Some sets are at MSRP. For those, use a coupon, rewards, CC discount, and discounted gift cards. For marked up sets, price match with another retailer, ideally when it's on sale, then use rewards and discounted gift cards. I have consistently gotten certain sets this year from TRU at better prices than any other retailer, just have to plan your stacking carefully and wait for the right moment.

Hi all, I'm an AFOL who came out of my dark ages about 5 years ago. Started flipping in 2011, not so much for profit but to support the hobby. Love playing and building wiht my daughters and just got my wife interested in building the Fairgrounds Mixer. At the high my inventory was about $20k MSRP in opened sets, but had to free up a bunch of shelf space so now I'm down to mostly things I hope to build in the future. The biggest lessons I've learned so far are: These things taka a lot of space to store. These things can be expensive to ship. Dont discount the value of your own time. Don't sell too soon!

Just to add on, you going to make more than retail no matter what.

I always read this set as Heartbreak Stables. I guess that is where you go to put down your horse

Well, I did my part to help; called Lego and told them it was confusing to Star Wars fans that they keep the DS in production, since the real one blew up decades ago. As a result, I trust it will be EOL shortly.

Not necessarily true, just because 2 opposing action/inaction resulted in the same thing, does not mean they are automatically null and void. Consider this: 1. Exercise is good for your health 2. Sleep is good for your health Just because you cannot do both exercise and sleep at the same time, does not automatically mean both are null and void when presented as 2 rules back to back.

Lego knows it's market. Demand on this is largely due to it's rarity. If this set was everywhere it might not be such a hot seller, esp once the media stories faded out. Before this and exo launched everyone was high on exo and lukewarm on RI. Lego knew they could sell more exo so have been cranking them out. May have not been the same with RI.

Maybe it's a new kind of "The Sign"...

There was a 1 per household limit.

I think the point was that your statement reads as fact rather than opinion. It's a good opinion and one that seems to have a lot of potential, but it's still an opinion. The point being made is that waaaay too many folks around these parts state opinions as facts. We all know hotcakes sell, that parking lots are a great place to flip sets and that the Canadian border services folks in BC have better things to do than shake down people bringing home cube-vans full of Legos for their kids, but it is sure is annoying to continually read posts from people who come across as know-it-alls about Lego production when in truth 99.9999% (possibly even 100%) of the people around these parts know very little. I'll leave you with my own little quote... "Opinions are like ..." Nah, I better not. Note: That last part is meant all in good fun and in no way am I trying to rekindle the North America vs The Rest of the World debate from other threads.

I want to second that comment. The guy is old school cool and is a master at his craft. The fact that he visits here to impart knowledge when he does not have to deserves a huge kudos. I hope to see him on Wall St one day.

Or to common sense. His advice is great, but nothing really complicated. Buy a lot of exclusives to maximize profit. Not everyone can do it though

Emazers if you're reading this I'd just like to clarify that you're a stand up guy and we all respect you. There is no harm meant, it's just friendly banter. In fact no I lie it's jealous spiteful greed.

Haunted House x 2. Hope I get them. Been waiting to bite this bullet. Its time, hope my wife understands.

This has always been my favorite rule. Not to live by, but to remember how true it is from certain point of views.

How do you know if it's humidity? The seals on one of my sets just popped yesterday, the rest are fine. Hopefully, it's just that box. Mine are all in the basement.

From what I remember they were but I remember thinking.. neat, but not really interested. I found this which laid out the Canada reqs to get them last year: http://brickfanatics.co.uk/toysrus-bricktober-2013-details/ Last year there was only three from what I found... and October also brought 20% off Technic which is about as good as get.

I think those will be much more sought after than the minifig packs.

Don't get high on your own supply. Of course, if there is a Drug Cartel army storming your house - it couldn't hurt.

I use those exact ones for my bulk pieces. Not a bricklink store just pieces. they work great, have four of them. You can even get dividers for the drawers. not sure how big you want to go. My original one filled up pretty quick with my first 16 lb lot. Also for the very common pieces consider a bigger set of sterilite plastic drawers as those big drawers on the bottom will fill fast with 2x1, 2x2, and 2x4 pieces. Another consideration is if you deal in both used and new parts you will need to have two separate filling systems to keep them seperated. Also I can see that being a pain bringing several in and out of the garage all the time. I would consider mounting them to a wall in your garage and having a table set up with lighting for a nice little inventory and packing station.

As I said in the other thread, if the HH is not in the Fall LEGO catalog(Halloween), I think it's a goner.

I deleted a few posts because of my error. The RI was in the catalog. No special notations.

The 10188 is back in the new catalog for those who track those sorts of things.

I agree. Like you said, box condition only matters for some sets. Bottom line is people want "new" sets and box condition is secondary,

where can you readily get 7965's for $100 or less right now??

Ebay working fine for me. But Facebook on the other hand... If brickpicker is hacked and goes offline, I might as well throw my phone away. What else would I ever use it for?

Does anyone know when this will retire and how much will it be worth when it does? Is this gonna be sold out as soon as it goes live? I hope when I order it I get an order confirmation otherwise im gonna freak out.

So, you're saying the plural of milf is milves? Interesting...

Well, I hope Jack Bauer gets his own interrogation room with an electrified bed and waterboarding bench.

I bought an Imperial Flagship 10210 used missing three small pieces but comes with manual and box for $150 on ebay from a 1 feedback seller, doh. I figured I would take that chance as it was too good to pass up.. It showed as shipped just now. Keeping the fingers crossed.

You guys might be happy to know, no polybags sold. These aren't the bargains they were looking for.

I'll fell asleep to Animals countless times as Twentysomething. I still get back to that "feeling" every time I listen to Floyd. Good good times....
