I just picked up a ginormous lot off of CL for $300. The pics were terrible and the listing was up for a few days. Usually I get no reply when answering an ad on cl so I was surprised to get a message back. So far I have a complete Black pearl, QAR, and imperial flagship. I also found a complete Garmadons fortress and clone turbo tank 8098. I found most of a 8097 slave 1 and all the figures. I really need about a week off now to go through all this.

At Phila Brickfest Live, my son and I picked up a NISB Harry Potter 4768-2: The Durmstrang Ship with Bonus Minifigures (Target Exclusive) for a decent enough price.

Pack them neatly in a large box and put them away.

this sets been out for 43 days. i have 40 and will buy another 10. i bought into this set thinking i would be holding until EOL which will probably be 1 year judging by the delorean which sold out at shop at home today. its kind of silly to prognosticate about the value of a set that hasn't gone EOL and was available today for like 10 hours from the worlds largest online retailer 4 cents below msrp. its kinda like saying - hey why hasn't that captain america vs hydra doubled in money yet. this set is just sulking in the shadow of the RI which is an anomalous event.

So much regret.......y'all might be in the wrong business.

Go to iTunes then music then purchased then not on this phone You have the new U2 album 11 songs for free to download

Not sure if this has been shared before but this one is amazing! Enjoy!

Stamps.com - September USPS Priority Mail Changes - Ultimate Guide Thought some of you might find this useful to have in your back pocket. http://blog.stamps.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/UltimateGuide_to_PriorityMailRateUpdate_Sep2014.pdf

Masters of the Universe immediately came to mind when I saw the title of this thread. That would be a double dose of nostalgia!

BP shows a value around $35k (a couple sets weren't found, so rounding up for that). Would not be worth it at the current asking price to resell with all those different individual sets to have to deal with, but nice for a personal collection at that price. TOTAL $34,832 CL-Lot9.xlsx

I watched BTTF part I and part II last night (for the zillionth time). Lets be fair, the movies are awesome. It is timeless. It is great. wonderful music. I believe it is for every age. A large fanbase. I never met anyone who did not like the movies. This set will do good for sure. Just I guess after EOL we need to wait at least 2 X-masses for the stock hoarded by investors to dry up. After that it is cash time.

Pricing errors don't count sorry.

Exo may be around for a while longer who knows, but both RI and EXO and Ecto 1 are all on the thou shall not discount list. So you will not see them cheaper than MSRP of 19.95, 34.95 and 49.95 respectively barring some gift card deal. Of note however they are the only items on this list without limits specified which is very interesting. BTTF Delorean is not on this list.

That set is decent. I actually like a couple of the new Chimas. The fire ones are awesome. I am still (trying) maintaining that Chima will eventually catch on and take off. I think those fire sets could do it. They are kinda awesome.

The lack of patience around here is crazy!

Hello, At Brickpicker, we strive to provide fast and easy access to the great content supplied by members. Jeff recently made an awesome change to how forum searches work. Now when typing a set name or number in the forum textbox, the predicted top results will appear automatically and are click-able. note: You can also still search the original way. Here are three examples. I want to ask a question about that popular Batman Arkham. However, I can't quickly find the main thread (aka topic). Type "arkham" in the search box and the most popular Arkham threads appear automatically. This is way cool and easy, right? Now I can post my question in the correct thread. I forget the exact Helm's Deep set number but I know it begins with 947. Type "947" in the search and results are automatically shown. I would like to search "10179" from the forums but then decide to see if any of the other apps contain information about this set. This functionality is also available. Happy searching.

And this is what is wrong with ebay. If he's throwing the box away then why does it matter? That is why they have you rate your sellers, not to gouge them out of money. Either return it or keep it. If he asked for a partial I'd tell him to send it back.

I just realized the one you went to was Brickfest, this was Lego Kids Fest. Its about 4 or 5 lanes of Technic 4x4 crawlers with obstacles. It was one of the more popular events. Think they do Brickfest in Birmingham, AL will have to try that when it comes again. The only pic I could find doesn't really show much but set up in rows then the obstacles start once they get going.

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/tag/4663440486.html Haven't looked at my CL for awhile, saw this. Would be fun to have this pull up to your house. For me would be insta-divorce.

I wanted to give you a like but I am out of likes. :)

Everyone, enough with the ethical this or that. That is not what this site is about and not really what most of us come here to read. Please keep this on track or the thread will be in danger of being locked for good and I don't want to do that. Over time, it will be interesting to see what happens with this set. Please think before you hit the submit button to see if it is adding anything of value to the thread before doing so. Thank you.

I returned 6 of these today. Why? Because I had something better to invest in and it turned it to not be as hot as I thought it would be. At this point having 20+ of them is above my risk level. It's asinine to say returning something is unethical as it's an option the store offers its customers. No questions asked returns. If they offer it then how can that be taken advantage of?

The seller's packing job sucks, but if you're opening the set like you said then this is a non-issue.

I'm thinking this as well--if not sooner. And once that happens I think we'll see this set appreciate nicely by the end of 2015 and into 2016.

I agree. I think returning items because you made the wrong buying decision is unethical. I say sell them at break even or at a loss, get most of your money back, and chalk it up to a lesson learned. You can even sell them for about a $7 profit after fees through Amazon FBA right now.

Let's just stop feeding the troll.......hopefully he will just go away

This is cooler than any $50 set this side of the Exo Suit or Ecto 1.

DK's reading area. Quite a few parents also treat this a rest area. Ha

If you have a nearby Costco then you may find a special 3-in-1 super pack deal on this year's Microfighters. Two different ones containing three sets each with the first having the Clone Turbo Tank, AAT, and Millennium Falcon while the second features the TIE Interceptor, X-Wing Fighter, and Star Destroyer. Both triple packs go for $23.99 which considering the regular $9.99 retail of each individual set means buying a single super pack instead of the three included sets separately totaling $29.97 means you would save $5.98 (before tax). Basically that is like $1.99 (roughly 20%) off each of the three Microfighters in the pack. via The Brick Fan

All we need is just a little...

Tru exclusive for b&m stores.

I say open it!

Yes we know. We are waiting for the new version of the mobile forum app.

We need to figure out at what time exactly Target queries Amazon for the lowest priced FBA price, and implement rotating schedule of FBA resellers to temporarily set MSRP price for the sets that no longer carried by amazon. I wonder if that could be considered as collusion... BTW, I noticed that Walmart started doing something similar - see http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Star-Wars-Jabba-s-Palace-Play-Set/21095580

Looks like a re-release of the one from 2013 alright.

Poor man's Rancor Pit...

Black Pearl for $302 shipped!

It's the perfect time to retire. This holiday season will wipe out 1/3 of those sellers and by next Christmas it will be more manageable. I'm just saying that by next year holiday season it should be an easy double after online seller fees.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00DQC2FPM/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=lego+21103&_sacat=0 http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?q=21103 With almost 750 sellers, I tend to agree with newbie77 and think it will be quite a while before this set sees significant gains.

I can see the childhood memories ingrained on the old worn astronaut. I think I could cry from such a sight of playful innocence.

Another set of Series 1 Mixels, for $89

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.

Was last years SW Advent Calendar selling out an American thing? I'm damn sure these were on the shelves well into 2014 here in Canada, and I even remember them being marked down at the LEGO store here in town and at TRU.

Yeah not including AS with the possible error in the book or the delay to produce a second edition of the book. Waiting for JA to tell me to move this to the AS thread ;)

These are fun. Good B-day gifts and conversation starters to sit on your desk at work. Those conversations will more than likely paint you as a dork, but hey, if the shoe fits..

I'm very excited for the DeLorean becoming a LEGO set. Ever since I first saw it on CUUSOO, I really wanted it to pass and now it's happened. I wonder if the demand is as high as the Minecraft set.
