I wouldn't advise sitting on them, you'll most likely break the seals.

My guess: $179.99 by the end of the month

Buy something else if you feel that strongly about this set, plenty of other investment worthy sets out there.

Haven't heard back from ebay yet but I found a work around. On the app I revised the item, changed the item category to LEGO-Other and it allowed me to add GSP back to the item. Don't ask me why but it works. Not ideal but it's more important for me to have GPS than to have the item in the LEGO-Sets category where I would normally list most of my items.

There could be a slight problem buying this in March, might not land this with double VIP and promo like the toy workshop. You can easily drop this purchase to about $130 without using VIP points if you do it right by selling the workshop at its peak at $25-30. You also risk seeing this go OOS. Anyone who's a lego investors should have a pair of these this month. We all saw how fast the TH inventory got wiped out in a day. The triple E will have a mass panic buy happening here soon. People will create multiple accounts and use their gf's VIP to add more.

The blue pigeon lands at midnight...I repeat...The blue pigeon lands at midnight.

I heard back from ebay on the issue. It's a known glitch they are working on. I was advised to end my listings and create new ones. Don't think I will do it now since I found the work around. That would be a good bit of work.

Well I am up to 5 Town Halls but I would like to get some more. I called about 30 of the 78 Lego stores in NA today. 29 were out. 1 had stock but local pickup only. If anyone has locations that ship to home and still have stock that your aware of please PM me.

I take this "employee laughing at question" thing with a sack of salt. If you just go up to a shop employee and ask them if that or that set is going EOL soon. Then yes, it would be a good reaction but if you social engineer it somewhat, you can get reasonable information from them. And they don't need to know when a set will retire. The only piece of information they can share that can point to an EOL is when they don't receive any shipments of said set anymore. I know but I just find it sad how Lego employees here are being branded. Some say they are a conspiring bunch dedicated in misinforming us, bp'ers. Others say they are too dumb to know anything.. Bref, if an employee tells you something, listen to them. And afterwards, try to look for more info to verify this information. I simply don't think you can just dismiss any information coming from them.

Opened and built! Its a cool set, quite an usual thing compared to the rest of the stuff we build from lego bricks. Loved the colours too. Need a nice place to display it now

When you buy a set at $130 and sell for $200 online, you do not get $70. You get about half of that.

The fat man has a dog. I repeat, the fat man has a dog.

You could private message...

BRB, selling my car and all possessions so I can go all in on this one. I've heard all I need to hear

1 mixer just cause it seemed like the thing to do today. At this point I fear the wife's snip snip more than I fear Lego's ban hammer .

Looks like 5 to me. Good job at exercising your adherence to the limit and not getting too greedy.

I went into the lego store leeds with the family and they had one tumbler in stock. I already have 2. I wanted to get it but the wife would not let me. Should I A. Divorce her B. Thank her for restraining me from overspending on a risky short term investment. C. Say nothing then remind her about it repeatedly when people are reselling them for

Mister Ed Mack... be prepared... a trekkie is about to propose...

Yes. Limit was 2. Of course just try to get one at a time with one click since it won't put the order through if they only have one and you selected two. Repeat. On the second one, you'll be asked if you meant to do a duplicate order. Quickly click yes. They track cumulative purchases over a 168 hour period. So in 168 hours after the first purchase, you could order another one if you had bought two in the last week.

If she gets banned it's a good reason to dump her and get a new gf. That's what I'd do.

I'm proud to finally share my model of the Geisel Library at UCSD, which is a lovely Brutalist-style building that I re-created in the tradition of the Architecture series. The final building in the style of the Architecture series sets. The finished model is probably about 800 pieces, and it's on display this weekend at Seattle BrickCon! If you aren't lucky enough to be in Seattle this weekend, I've prepared a collection of photos of the models, as well as a exploration of the creative process as I iterated on the design before reaching this final version. Before arriving at the final design, I did a bunch of explorations including this much smaller model. some photos of the real building that I've tried to re-create in LEGO. More photos and the "making of" at: http://tomalphin.com/2014/10/geisel-library.html I hope you enjoy my first serious MOC, and I'd love to hear your feedback!!! Sincerely, ---tom

No. Only Superman is the same. Wonder Woman will re-appear but in a slightly different costume.

Wow...talk about taking one for the team.

Okay he let me have it all for 150$ with the bins and all the books. It's 52 pounds lego and 20 pounds bionicle. His grandkids came to visit for the summer while he was vacationing in Vegas so he didnt want to keep them. His grandkids are 9-12-15 so hopefully that means good stuff. Will check later but time to go to my local lego store to pick up some more town halls

The same people that buy the Series 10 mystery packs for $20 that MIGHT have a Mr. Gold will be the same morons that bid on this auction.

It's the signal that says "It's time to shut your PC for today, biniou, you have seen enough stupid stuff on the internet."

The description tells me that this guy has his IQ in the negatives.

I have both - here is the scale for reference http://m.imgur.com/oN5Ao5i

I have a guy that works at my local Lego store who is also an avid collector and has been for some time. He knows Lego inside and out. Does he know when sets are done? Heck no. But he also sits in a store and sees what gets put back on the shelf and how often. I always listen to what he has to say. Never hurts to pick employees brains. But I always buy what I set out to buy and don't stray too often. My wallet already hurts enough.

I don't dismiss anything, nor I completely accept anything. I have absolutely nothing against store employees.

Another set of Series 1 Mixels from KMart. Wal-Mart PS3 LEGO Marvel w/ Iron Patriot for $19.96 A Batcave w/ Bricktober Theater, free pumpkin, and a Series 12 Princess

#10221 may be reach 2x retail price in year 2016/17 but it will be a slowly seller

Maersk Triple E

I like the crane and the two small buildings that are included in the set. I think that this set is better than the Public Transport set, but not by much.

I thought there was a US restriction on exclusive sales. But here is proof you can still get one 50% off.

Even if you don't know the Tower Bridge , if you go on brickset and search bridge --> pieces high to low you will only find this set usable for a bridge in a city moc. Plus you can modify it for train passage.

This set keeps coming back into stock and then going out of stock because of panic buyers. I went to lego store. They had over 20 plus a whole display. They laughed when I asked if it was retired. I left them all on the shelf. They had no ge and said they had not had any for over 9 months and did not expect any more ever. Th is not retiring

Let us wait for trek to weigh in before we jump into conclusions

I cannot agree. Firstly as I already mentioned it still can be found here. Secondly I just took a look at ebay.com sold items and there I can find sets sold this month for 205$, 230$ (okay that one is from britain I see...), 180$, 170$ (older ones have been cheaper that's true). So if you bought it for retail 130$ and sell it for about 200$ (that's the price I see for the time around christmas) you still get 70$ (probably you've bought it for less than retail though). Even if you sell it for 60$ it's still not too bad (60-70$ = +50%) The Fire Brigade has been 150$ retail, looking at ebay 260-320$. This is +100% and yes it is "better" I cannot argue against this fact, but I don't know how widely available the Fire Brigade has been and if there have been any huge discounts on it, and since I have not followed helms deep too much (wasn't in the game) I cannot say for sure but my educated guess would be that there have been more discounts on that one = more opportunities to get it cheaper and to get MORE of them (+ it's cheaper to start with which makes it more affordable for smaller resellers). You can say what you want, but +50% is not bad and assuming that you got helms deep for less than 130$ I'd say that +100% (like Fire Brigade) is not totally out of questions. Of course not every set perfoms the same and probably Fire Brigade really is better than HD but still I wouldn't say that HD is "bad", especially not if you take the availability and discounts into consideration. Please feel free to disagree but that's my opinion.

Picked up the Fairground Mixer today with all the goodies.

One can argue about whether or not the Tower Bridge is a well known landmark, but as a LEGO set, there is no argument...it is a great set...and value.

*ahem* Before seeing this set in lego, I didn't even knew that the tower bridge existed. I'm serious. I never went to London, and I'm about sure that's the same for a lot of lego collectors. ^^ It's not enough iconic to be known by every rednecks (like me), like the famous Big Ben for example. And to build two times the same huge tower: thanks but no thanks. And because I don't want to ship such a huge box internationaly... I'll pass. For UK members, this is certainly one of the best lego set to invest in... and to resell inside the UK. All lights are green. But I wouldn't that sure for the outside (for a seller/buyer to sell/buy outside the UK), because of its size, weight, and "redneck reasons".

For what it means, the "Monster fighters" theme has disappeared from the LEGO Shop at Home. This theme went in and out some weeks ago, it looks like this kind of scenario: (lego, 2 months ago) - Ok, the HH is nearly done, we will sell the rest of our stock for halloween and Xmas, that's great. (lego, few weeks later) - Well... it's already OoS ! Afterall it's a great set, bah, it's better than being stuck with. We do not want another kingdom joust. Ok, we have to ask for retailers to return their boxes, they will be glad to make some room. And since it's OoS, let's remove the Monster Fighters theme from the shop. (investors) - The Monster Fighter Theme has been retired ! What's going on ?! Let's buy some more HH ! (lego) - Damned ! It's already sold out ! A lot of people still want that set ! Let's make another production run ! (investors) - The Monster Fighters theme has returned ! Want does that mean ? The HH is still sold out ! (investors, few days later) - (investor A) It's back ! I want some ! (investor B ) I'll wait for double VIP points ! (investor C) No way it's retiring ! (October 1th, investors and AFOLs screaming together) - Heeeeeeeeee ! Double VIP points are here ! PANIIIIC BUUUY !!! (lego) - What the ??? We sold everything within 24h ! Well, we have no more now... let's remove the Monster Fighters Theme. (investors) - (investor A) I got my set ! Seals 38S4 ! (investor B ) My 5 sets have been canceled ! lego, burn in hell ! (investor C) I have plenty ! I told you ! (investor D) I have none ! Will it come back ? (investor E) I don't know ! I hope so ! To be continued...

Modular EOLs no longer concern me now that I've hit my target of 30 Chima Worriz Fire Bikes (30265). Pass the Courvoisier.

$440 shipped to Taiwan. Big money available if you're willing to deal with shipping internationally.

My thoughts are you found a fellow Brickpicker trying to lowball you. LOL

Is there no longer a way to see how many amazon has in stock?
