I was contacted by Volvo to post a design video of the LEGO Technic L350F Wheel Loader. It's definitely an interesting video to watch. I love these types of behind the scenes and design videos. You can buy this set for $249: LEGO | Amazon |

Only about 20% of Lego Investors will wait 8-10 years after this or any set retires, some will crack after a few months only if they will only make a few dollars. Even I never waited that long. And that goes for just about any set, its easy to say I can wait, but everybody will find out its far from easy.

Gold Mine = $30 profit

One of the smaller Arctic Sets. I've been please with the whole series. I'm hoping that my next build will be The Lonely Mountain.

It's already peaked. Sell yesterday.

You do realize the first holiday season since it's retirement is still 50 days away? I think time will tell, once we get to March 2015.

I guess that would be more expensive than to get one from an ebay reseller right now.

37R4, and they couldn't fill the backorders?? What, the produced only a hundred in that run? :shocked:

He should also have friends who work on the customs.

I CAN HOLD MY CAMPERS A LONGGGG TIME!!!!!!

This set is officially "unprocurable" from Lego, in case anyone is curious.

vampyre castle is a better Halloween set.

This is the perfect set to box up your inventory of, put away, and forget for eight to ten years. Massive investment volume will hurt this model in the short and medium time frames... But as a long-term HOLD this has all the ingredients: iconic/timeless model, no remake potential, displays beautifully and the details are extraordinary. It will take time but the last guy holding this in inventory is going to be sitting on a gold mine.

So....sell it to fellow BPers at MSRP!

Same CC and shipping address? You may as well have used same VIP number. Check waddamon's and my awards. We speak from experience.

Not enough lifeboats.

eBay has them brand new for $160USD and higher. This is already money in the bag even at $150CAD. I bought two more and shipped it to one of our offices in Canada.

90% of Lego sets don't pop out of the gate. Takes a slower steady growth over 2-3 years. Additionally, Helm's Deep retired with plenty of notice. I don't remember much panic buying since it wasn't an exclusive (meaning, most of us purchased our target # of inventory at nice discounts 4-8 months before it retired).

Just got Tower of Orthanc delivery , bought at Amazon from 3rd party seller for about $142 shipped. Does not look like drop-shipped(shipping was via USPS with signs that the seller actually visited the post office). He threw in mini-mini-cooper because he delayed the shipping by 3 days. I guess he was taking his time to find one that fell off the truck? Don't know... Was shipped in lego unmarked shipping box. Seals seem ok (49R3), minimal creasing on the box (way better condition than from wbshop...)

No, the money he'll save not seeing a shrink because he can do something he wanted to (opening a $120 box) but he didn't. Sepotato: open it, enjoy it: it will appease your mind for the rest of your life, so you'll not have some regrets (I understand you can regret losing some bucks, but you may have far more regrets not having fun from a set you owned).

LR Constitution Train - $120 shipped LR Stagecoach - $38.50 shipped

I'd like to think they have a stash somewhere just waiting for me, but how many backorders did they have to fill for this thing? I still don't understand how they don't know how many they have/will have and why they have to cancel orders. You would think the largest toymaker in the world could buy a better inventory system.

Yeah, can't agree enough about the BL forums. At the very least, if you must read the forums, don't let the minority of sour apples ruin it for you. Some very bitter people are on there that are still mentally dealing with the Jezeks selling to the Korean company.

I hope everyone enjoyed the peak. Congrats to those that were able to unload.

I use the part set function on Bricklink - you can do the same if you've kept the sets intact, just remember to manually remove the minifigs and any of their accessories that you will not be uploading from the editing page that will pop up for you in the part set process. Making a few small orders first is a good plan - it'll get you familiar with the process as you mentioned, and it'll get you a few feedback points to start with, which will make some buyers more comfortable with you. Before you upload anything, make sure you have your filing system set up and the parts you're about to upload already filed. Nothing is worse than getting orders for parts sitting in a jumble on your "to be filed" table. With your eBay selling experience, learning Bricklink will be simple enough - a few differences, a few things that work better and a few things you won't like as well. The forums there are shark-infested, but simple start up questions generally won't get you bitten (or you can always ask here in safer waters).

Glad you found the castle you were looking for!

Hm, looks like I will most likely not be opening the HH I have for Halloween decoration at this point. I think Arkham Asylum will be an adequate substitute. It is creepy enough for Halloween according to popular opinion around the household.

Ok, I was playing mario kart 8 with a friend and I finished 1st on the circuit "haunted mansion", killing toad with a banana in front of the arrival ! It's a sign, so I got one more ^^ and I'll see if I'll get even one more on october. I just hope it will not be canceled, having one more waiting to be shipped...

just got back from a road trip and hit 3 Lego B&M stores, These items were absent from all 3 HH, GE, Sopwith, Maresk, SSD. Asked and they do not expect to get any of these back in stock. They all had plenty of Pet Shops and a couple of DS.

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.

Don't feel sympathy it was out two years plenty of time wait till last minute this what happens you fight for leftovers

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

Although banned by the wife, I could not pass up on these deals. My wife will kill me. But better be killed for buying lego than for something else. Ha! - 70010 Chima Lion Chi Temple (MISB) 80 euro - 2507 Ninjago Fire Temple (NISB) 88 euro - 2 x 76011 Super Heroes Batman Man-Bat Attack (MISB) 16 euro each - 76018 Super Heroes Hulk Lab Smash (MISB) 40 euro They had 1 Lion Chi left for that price so I will grab it too in a few minutes when I go back. Doubting about: They also had 2 Benny's Spaceship (MISB) for 68 euro each. Should I grab those as well? One 31012 Creator Family House (MISB) for 44 euro and one 75021 Republic Gunship (NISB) for 88 euro.

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...

That's a great idea. Donate them to the Salvation Army or Toys for Tots. The smile it will put on a child's face this holiday season is worth a lot more than the couple of bucks you will make off of them IF anyone buys them. Plus that child may just grow up to be a future AFOL who will spend the big bucks later.

But whoareyagonnacall?

now thats a deal. Just need a 125 of them to use your $5 rewards coupon lol

Perhaps he bought that delorean from Craigslist, for 50 million, and traveled back in time, ordering different amounts, but they still ended up unfilled

I'm happy with the impatient people around here.

Exo Suit is Out of Stock at Amazon & Target - Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You wouldn't want to use $1's in Australia - it'd be uncomfortable and cold. Our $1's are coins here

Just like in real life where an oil change for a European car is twice that of a Honda or American car. Haha I own a tdi vw jetta and wouldn't trade it for anything.

Seine said that they doubt a person made thirty orders to get 30 spaceman...so how else would they be able to do it? Only way is if they know an employee

..... and gone back to sold out in less than an hour!

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

And we all know that $40k of LEGO at TRU has an actual retail value of $25k.

While I do respect people's opinions, I would have personally kept this one to myself. If one suffers from degrees of mental illness like he did, there is no way you can comprehend what he did. You were not him and have no idea what he went through in his life dealing with it. I am not sticking up for or agreeing with his actions, but I am not going to judge him or anyone else. P.S. I will probably be locking this thread soon since I already have the gut feeling it will go downhill very soon.

So sad! He was a great comedian/actor. Really funny and overall appeared to be a truly genuine guy. RIP Patch Adams.

We could put this kid in the Guiness Book of World Records for the worlds largest personal collection of Speedorz. Let's make it happen, people!
