If you won't Stephen, I guess I'll post my huge stash......

Selling isn't for everyone. Most transactions most of the time go fine. Some do not, and you do have to be prepared to take some losses. It doesn't matter where you sell. If you sell most places online (and certainly Amazon, eBay, and anywhere you take PayPal), you're subject to their buyer protection policies which mean that you take returns and all those risks. If you sell in your own brick and mortar stores, you have shoplifters and kid damage and credit card chargebacks. If you sell on Craigslist you risk mugging and wasting a lot of time. If you sell only online through obscure venues accepting only postal money orders, you risk not selling much. Like the news, the information you get here is skewed: generally, if it bleeds it leads so if someone has a bad situation, it gets posted here. The majority, the good or uneventful ones, don't.

As a seller, you are obligated to give correct info.

You guys are setting yourselves up for the new "LEGO Whore'der" award.

I am down at Disney this week. Was able to get a Tumbler. They are quite protective of them. Great store. Tons of kids. The employee said its like Black Friday in there every day

Anyone else think the Town Hall would make a good Hill Valley clock tower to go with a Delorean? WIth a little work obviously.

I would print my own little stickers. Like: 100% pure columbian cocaine. Or: Definately not humans inside.

My gf and I did the same thing. We were just appalled, APPALLED I tell you, to learn that people are planning on reselling these at xmas time for a profit. What is this world coming to? Oh btw, could you use the $110 in VIP points I have earned in the last 2 months on this? kthnxbye

Don't push it. Your wife is going to murder you!

My wife couldn't keep a straight face when I acted dumb over the popularity of this set. I was constantly saying. "WOW. thst is amazing. I had no idea". ????

This feels like a harsh comment for a moderator to make on this forum. Certainly to Neosphinx who has been an active contributor to the content on the forums in a constructive manner. Looking to reduce your crowd?

Oh sorry, I'll keep my opinions to myself next time.

For a second there I thought you were stocking up on Lego Bags.

Oh joy, my Chima poly has shipped. Not even upset about my cancelled HHs anymore.

Full set of Series 1 Mixels for $99.99US + shipping.

Look the GE is retiring, if you need some and got the money get them. You guys are just driving yourself crazy. Get the GE if you need them.

About displaying this set, you can remove a wing so it takes less room on a shelf. And about investing, I think it will be still there up to december '16, as usual (2 years on LEGO Shop at Home for technic sets). Maybe up to summer '16 if it's a huge success and not produced anymore. Will it be a winner ? Yes, like most of technics sets that are $120 and more ($120/130 models and $179/199 models). Because of the color scheme, power functions included, big in size, great b-model (one of the best b-model ever), etc. But I would wait for a discount, plenty of time to get this baby. Note that I were wrong for the price on my previous post, 3 months ago: it's finally $139 when I thought $129... lego has increased their price... (but I guessed right for the 42024 ^^ )

You guys are so heartless. To give chima fire bikes to orphans, sick childs, etc. ? Don't you think they suffer enough ? And about US cancels, that's because these sets are on boat to europe, he he...

full disclosure, the 10% CC didnt apply. damn u TRU

All this talk about HHs is gonna make me crack open one tonight and start building!

So it's been quite slow on the Canadian deals thread so I thought I'd post this: All Galaxy Squad sets 50% off, makes for good gifts if not for investment. Sept 27th, spend $100 or more and earn 30x airmiles. Free Geoffrey the Giraffe ($5.99 value) when you spend $30 or more on any Lego set (they say any, but it excludes Galaxy Squad...) Also bonus airmiles for buying other Legos but not worth posting.

Bought a Tumbler. I don't know why. I don't want to build it, it is too early to invest in it, and I hate flipping. I'm sure I'll find something to do with it.

I love Emazers. He is like someone who works for Goldman Sachs and drops in to share key insider information and then quickly departs. Ed would love to have your conjecture on all the topics more often. (sincere)

I have to agree with Bjiri on this one. It is a bit harsh.

now-then not now-now

Available at Shop at Home (Canada). Finally ordered my first one.

Please sell your stock everyone. Prices will plummet to $15 shipped and then you will be losing money.

It's also called the "alternative model". Technics sets are "two in one" (like creators sets -except the creator expert- are "three in one"). You have to download the instructions, unfortunately, because lego is too greedy to give you those. The b-model for the cargo is an hovercraft:

Thankfully was able to order one from LEGO Shop at Home this morning, decided it was not worth risking waiting until x2 VIP.

Stop crying about the new run. Of course its a new run. the initial run was depleted on day 1. backorders will be fulfilled, leftovers will go to the stores. this is nothing unexpected. better buy what you can, because its your last chance. Edit: i do hope prices online drop to $30s so i can buy them all.

The owners of this board will be launching Brick Classifieds before too long and from what I have read they will also be offering authorize.net in addition to Paypal. Hopefully they will expand that to Stripe and Amazon Payments in the future. IMO the days of just listing your item on ebay and letting them bring traffic are coming to an end. Selling successfully in the future is going to require more hustle. I am hoping Alibaba opens a P2P platform and offers no fees for a few years like they did in China. They would get insane numbers.

Like literally every star wars set ever from EE

They have finally figured out how to add additional runs to high-priced items when originally scheduled to retire. Beware a new HH run! And if they are using their factories for this, it explains the shortage of newer sets.

Yeah i wanted to walk out of there with that thing. I would have to buy it a plane ticket it home. I would put it in first class

And back to "Available Now". Song and Dance ritual continues...

Fair point, maybe by the time they file the SNAD complaint at 179 days we can have the Lego page will say retired. (joke)

Great, the Lion Chi Temple will do very well on Xmas but you can resell it 139e right now to calm down your wife ! About the 3 other sets, respectively: 68e is awsesome! great 44e is ok 88e is ok FYI my best deals for these sets are: 88e (not a real deal, I just wanted some RIGHT NOW at that moment. Note that many people were able to get some at 68e shipping incl. on amazon.co.uk) 42e 80e If I were you I would take 2 or 3 of each set. (let's say 3 spaceship + 2 houses + 3 republic ***.)

How does that old song go? I get by with a little help from my friends...

I stand by saying it is one to watch. Hoard it now? No. Consider it's position and potential, and work it into your future investment strategy? Absolutely.

Just when you think you've read everything, now we've got the UCS X-wing as an under the radar set.

He's pulling out stinky dates.

Why do people think ri will go down. Even if there is a small number in every lego store. Not everyone will go to lego store to get one and probably still limit of one. Then done

The train did not last, the last ship did not last, this will not last. Lego would not admit a mistake and reissue this with printed rather than stickers. A fork is stuck in this set, it just needs a carving knife. I am loading up on 10/1.

Picked up 4 MISB The Zombies 9465 for $120 each. I know the set is probably near the top of it's value, but I may hold on to them a bit and see. I figured worse case scenario, I could flip for a few bucks... If JAISONLINE hoards his stash for a while, maybe they keep going up, up, up! I'm actually pretty bullish on the whole Monster Fighters theme as a whole having sold some nice lots recently. Now I wish I would have bought even more...(Just have a few vampyre castles left)...

< bleep > S @ H for canceling my backordered HH and practically sold it to other buyer

Mine arrived today. Code 36R4.

Yesterday, I built the 6090 Royal Knight's Castle I received this as a gift a couple of weeks ago so I probably will not replace the missing minifigs (1/2 of them) but I will buy the 4 missing pieces as they are cheap. As I did not have the instructions, I had to work with the online set; unfortunately the first 15 steps (of 57) are rotated 90 degrees so that made it challenging. I forgot how neat the 90s castles were (I was a city builder, one of my brothers was the castle man)

as people come to play this game, people will also leave it ...

Rumor I heard was that they had to clear the production lines to produce more Deloreans because of recent surge in sales.

With the retirement date for the Death Star do you mean 2017 or 2117? ;)
