I disagree now sugar. You call me I'll tell you when GE, HH, SC any ol' set you wanna talk about gonna retire and how much it will be worth in 6 months baby.

Bag 13 contains Gandalf and begins the 5th level - the attic. The attic stores extra weapons and armor and has a drop-down ladder: Bag 14 starts the top of the tower - the "spire": Bag 15 puts the finishing touches on the spire: The finished product: Overall, it's a very impressive set at around 30" tall! TreeBeard is 9" tall and the 5 minifigs + eagle are pretty sweet. (Although for $200, it would be nice to have a couple more figs). The tower is, obviously, nearly 1 color; but uses nice building techniques and contains lots of cool details. I expect this set to appreciate nicely after EOL.

Somebody should do Arctic expeditions meet Santa's Workshop display. Isn't finding Santa the goal of their expedition all along ?

I finally picked up the Tower of Orthanc. Here is the build. First, the box: The contents. 17 numbered bags 1-15 (two 3s and two 5s), the eagle bag and the manuals/stickers: Bag #1 contains an Orc and Treebeard's lower half: Bag #2 finishes off TreeBeard: Bag #3 builds the base/dungeon of Orthanc:

I am going out on the limb here, but it seems to be that there are problems with your expectations, not with this thread...

Not yet, they have 4 of them, but they are marked $40 for some reason. They have the 2 x small pink and 2 x small blue for $15 each, so I may pick up those. Here's what the rest of it looks like. They've added some new product the past few weeks.

Well it's a risk we may have to take. I am not going to hide the fact that we will be trying to do a few different things here and there. My goal was to never just go out and duplicate these other sites. There will be things you like and don't. The beauty is, we are allowed to make changes. But also, over time, maybe if you like what's going on here and things are working out, perhaps you will find a way to change the way you do things. It's like that commercial where the guy doesn't invest in Twitter because he says.. "who is going to use something with 140 characters". I bet a lot of people thought that was a bad idea. Will this be the next Twitter? Not exactly, but it will be a product that will show people what they are getting when they hit that purchase button.

update : now confirmed. it looks to have been Tumbler'd. Here it is folks. https://twitter.com/ZackSnyder/status/509889431210192896/photo/1 older pics.... http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/10/6130987/batmobile-photos-batman-v-superman http://www.theverge.com/2014/5/13/5710490/ben-affleck-batman-and-batmobile-first-photo https://twitter.com/ZackSnyder/status/465889795978194944/photo/1

I just bought my second copy of 21050 - the LEGO Architecture Studio set. Apart from the 10$ price increase, I noticed a number of unexpected changes were made to the set, branding and packaging. I shared these changes in the following short article... LINK: http://tomalphin.com/2014/09/changes-to-21050-architecture-studio.html Have you noticed any other changes? Do other LEGO sets see this much change in the middle of the release? Discuss! Sincerely, ---tom

If you buy this, I think you will have a easy time identifying the sets. It looks like one of the orange boxes has a lot of instructions.

Also looks like Colby City Showdown behind the canoe.

EXACTLY. i just cleaned up over 10 posts. please keep the posts on-topic. metric vs non-metric, Fahrenheit to Celsius, etc.. is way off topic. Stay on target!

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

?????

Excellent deal. Hope all works well and stuff is in good shape.

I didn

I demand them to be retired!

so about those GE........

I really don't know what you're talking abouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut

Yes, that is Cloud City. The big grey arcs are the landing pad for Slave I. You'll want to make sure the figures are there if he's selling as complete, they are the majority of the sets' worth.

Nuclear missiles.!!! This whole Lego thing is one massive cover-up.... Or what Ex1 said .

good. you warned yourself. ha

Exciter1's little honey-hole...

That's for Sept. 29 to Oct. 6th for us 'Muricans. Back order date is slipping.

Watch out exciter1, I'm making a road trip this weekend

Great read. Thanks!

I'm sure a lot of the OT vehicles will be featured, maybe some slightly modified like those TIE Fighters. The show starts 5 years before ANH so we should be seeing lots of familiar things.

I found this animation which after the way how YouTube has been acting for me lately seemed very appropriate.

Some will ask "Why?" to which I reply "Why not?". Gingerbread house by tikitikitembo Gingerbread House by lyninsquam

Bag 8 continues the office level: Bag #9 finishes the office: Bag 10 starts the Potions room on the 3rd floor and includes Grima: Bag 11 finishes the potions room: Bag 12 contains the 4th floor - the "library", lots of great details on this floor and the tower finally seems BIG:

T-rex hunter 5886 for $155.98 (includes shipping)

All accurate, but thanks for throwing "fair" in there. Great shirt, too. One thing we do well in Kansas: make fun of ourselves.

Welcome. Last time I drove across your fair, flat, and very windy state I ate breakfast in some little diner somewhere around the middle off of I-70. The waitress was around 90 years old and wore a shirt saying; Dear Auntie 'Em, Hate you, hate Kansas, took the dog. Dorothy I nearly died laughing.

Not dumb at all. If you buy a set for $100 and it falls to $80 and you think it will go to $110 in a year, but you know you can sell it now and buy a different set for $80 and it will go to $120 or more in 6 months, then sell, whether you need to or not.

I got 5 Ties at Target for under $40 each back in January, the Jabba set for $80 during a BOGO free from Amazon around the same time.

If you read my earlier posts, I stated that we are about the "small guy/gal." Our setup will let the small seller shine. Price you product properly. List the item correctly and creatively and it stands a good chance. Plus there will be other options about highlighting sets going forward. We will deal with big sellers as they come and work with them as well. As for the advertising, see my above posts. We have some solid ideas and will advertise heavily.

Yes. In a situation of multiple sets, just show a picture of the multiple sets that indicate you have them. Sellers have to realize that photos help protect them. If they show a picture of an item, it takes away many possible issues later on in case of fraudulent buyers or claims. Experienced sellers will eventually be able to circumvent the photo requirement. Another idea would be to require a photo on items over a certain price threshold. If people are selling $10 poly bags, that might not warrant a photo., just a generic image. Here's the thing though, the listing page is very attractive IMO and a quality photo goes a long way in selling that item. Just my 2 cents as a buyer of THOUSANDS of LEGO sets.

The set has been revealed:

The idea of Brick Classifieds is to sell product at a fair price. Everyone, it seems, has their own methods and requests, but we want members to price fairly What purpose would we have to clog the Classifieds up with overpriced items? If people want to do that, there is eBay and Amazon.

Its Like I said every would be investor says that they can play the waiting game, but it boils down to around 75% of investors crack within a year or so.

Hmm. I just noticed your signature for the first time, and I have to say, I find it offensive. In the Age of ***** , everyone deserves to be a winner, whether they put in the work or not. I should wake up each day to find a whole pile of promos sitting on the pillow next to me, as a reward for breathing successfully on my own. The idea that I have to spend $99 to get the promo I want is incredibly discriminatory against people that don't have $99 to spend. Let's all try and check our privilege, folks...

ROFL! I think I saw that set. Special VIP Edition comes with female scientists wearing EXO-Suits...

There's no rush. My sources at Lego tell me there's a new mega-exclusive coming out this winter that will be a blend of GE, DS, CV, SC, HH, TB, and of course SSD. I've already preordered up to the limit.

Oh it will end, lol. If you are lucky no one won. If you are unlucky, the first low bidder will win because no one else could bid. I am jealous of whoever it was that got that DS for $320 today. I bet the seller is piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiised

I don't know what it is, somehow, Halloween themed MOC's come across as edgy and cool, while the Chrismas ones just seem a little cheesy. The one above is by all measures an excellent MOC, but I can't help but picture it in the home of an old lady with WAY too many cats. I would add that I think the Grand Carousel would look good with a FEW slight winter mods.

I like this set as an investment, but remember investors, to make top dollar from this set, you need to pair it with 75005, Rancor's Pit, to maximize value. For every Jabba's Palace you buy, you need to buy a Rancor's pit.
