Look at it this way. If the set remains out of stock and retires , it will be the shortest run of any Modular. It is the largest Modular. It will be the least owned Modular since the Green Grocer...by a large amount. People just didn't pay attention until it was too late. To say the set is boring or unappealing is unfair. There are a lot of people trying to make themselves feel better because they missed out and spent their money on Exo Suits and Campers. This is a beautiful set and will be wanted by many future Modular fans who didn't get the opportunity to buy one now to complete their collection. The Cafe Corner took years to get to its current level and so will the Town Hall. But people should remember not everyone loved the gaudy Cafe Corner and look how that has worked out.

I thought Death Star was the largest modular

Eurobricks

Without a Town Hall to uphold the law and keep Lego towns protected, I fear anarchy, pandemonium, and martial law may run rampant. Also, wolves. Without a city council to address the problem of wolves, there will be no organized defense against them.

A shipping manifest showed that there were 4 containers delivered to NJ chock-full of Lego Town Halls. See if you can find them.

Too slow on the draw. My internet farted :-(

I don't know anything related to such alleged illegal activity. He was banned from bp for trolling and nothing more. Also if we are working off assumptions I would advise that we leave him out of this thread

One silver lining, if you want to call it that. If you loose the TR Plus 20% off FVF due to this, you do not have to worry about participating in the holiday return policy.

Next Ideas set will be Lego Poltergeist.

If you wedge a DS between a Parisian Restaurant and a Palace Cinema, it somehow works.

Just read through this thread, and for anyone that missed it- someone with the name "Bricksexpert" chimed in last year. The nice thing with that Handle is you don't have to change it a bit if joining Ashley Madison.com, etc. On topic: completely, completely unfair this set became inaccessible in the U.S. So long before it has in Europe. Please take back The Beckham's. Give us the SSD instead.

I went to Kmart and TRU, Kmart: Polybags and 2 Olivia Houses at Kmart in the 50% off clearance area, the polybags scanned at full retail, asked nicely if they could be adjusted, and they did.... Spideys @ $2.00 and Creator and City Polibags @ $1.75. Olivias House $35 each, got the only 2 left..... and 2 Complete Sets of Mixels Series 2, at full retail.... TRU, 2 Complete Sets of Mixels Series 1 at full retail, plus the pumpkin promo and a free mini-modular, the cinema.

Probably because i already ordered 2pcs in May 2014 or because i placed order from Austria OR i just took the "Arschkarte"

Sold a Mixel Series 1 3 pack 41500,41501 and 41502 for $39.50 shipped. Guess that means the complete series 1 should be heading higher than $120 soon if not already.

Mixels. Ex Astris, Scientia.

Series 2 is starting to disappear. They're retired. You can still find them at Lego Stores for $3.98. They're around other places in the wild, but they are starting to disappear slowly. I need to heed my own advice, and finish up some sets that I'm building now. I don't know...I *really* want the Ghost now, but I don't know that I'm willing to do this. Just seems like it's too big a price glitch to take advantage of.

My money is on the horde

Yep no complaints here. And you are right the seal codes have no useful information other than telling you when the pieces were placed inside that particular box. You don't just flip on a switch to produce pieces for a set it is a little more involved and costly than that. They may pack small batches every few weeks but the actual production for the bricks that are being packed was completed a long time before that.

As many smashed up Lego boxes inside pristine shipping boxes I have received from Lego, I didn't think they repackaged sets with damaged boxes either. If they do they must be reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal f-in bad before they repackage them. My last Falling Water I got from them looked like it had been used as a Welcome mat at Fat Camp.

Just came by to read this thread and I'm LMAO right now. I posted about loading this baby up and saying its done this year during July and August and got banned from posting. I posted not only in here but in the daily deals. Although I have only 12 of these, it beats having none. The short run on this will make this a big winner. This may not yield stratospheric returns like the HH but it will be an easy double immediately when it goes EOL.

We are on ToO now, please try to keep up

I don't know anything about Mixels, are series 2 hard to find yet? They had some of those at Target too. Having pretty good luck so far with the minifigs. Identified about half of them. I know I don't have a Princess or a Genie in these 25 since all the rest left have normal legs so I know I need to find at least two more in the wild. Ending up with a few doubles so far too, got a couple each of the wizard, pizza guy and video game guy. So far have 8 different ones identified. It's getting easier as I go along. One trick I found is to pinch the baseplate up in a corner and shake all the other parts down to the bottom so the baseplate is out of the way.

I believe it is the issue yes. I ordered in may 2 times same day. 1 order got cancelled promo. What I do now is order to 2 different adresses OR wait until the other order is delivered.

I'm seeing a MOC Plaza... maybe a modular.

"While supplies last"

No, it is the "prequel" novel that explains how Hera and Kanan came together. Also gives a good bit of Kanan's backstory. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/A_New_Dawn

You mean....I have..... a friend? Yes yes, friend, you're right, beetle ftw

This seems the case also here in Belgium. I bet it sells well in Germany hehe.

The car, or ACTUAL, living beetles? I have many around our garden and will gladly trade them for a T1.

I will tell you how I plan to use the BP trader feature once up and running. I absolutely love researching Lego sets, purchasing solid quantities, and making great returns doing so. Having fun, and making money doing so- can't beat it. Due to the nature of my work, plus family/home life, I do not have the resource of time (nor interest) in establishing an online store via EBay or Amazon. The time investment of dealing with returns, end-buyer inquiries, etc. is more than I am able to do. I would much rather have a wholesaler's approach- selling to fellow BP'ers at a profit-generating price for both myself and them. I place an extreme premium on qualified buyers, and would rather bulk sell/ship at a discount to an established BP'er than manage single-unit sales to the public. Can't wait for the Classifieds to be up and running.

fixed your title. my return rate is very very very low on Lego. I do FBA 99.99% of the time. one thing of note: i dont sell expensive retired sets on Amazon though. to me that is a no no

Picked up two sets of series 2 mixels for 60 and change. They are 3.99 at the local shopko and bogo 40 percent off. The real fun will be Sunday if they still have a bunch of clearance and a 20% off friends and family coupon.

yes, and a modular red light district along with a coffee shop would do well

Lol, you don't think that would do well? I would put it right next to my Morgue and Animal testing lab, across the street from my Modular Slaughterhouse. And of course its all built on a Lego Indian Burial ground.

This doesn't always happen either though. Some people have you hold them, forget to pay for one item, etc. I can attest it happens a lot. What I do is, if someone says they are buying more, or will, or whatever else I will just ship one item at the lowest rate (1.93). I put that tracking number for everything until they decide and are ready to be done. I then create a real one, add that to the items and just void the other. Generally it works fine. But once again, something simple and obvious that Ebay just ignores for the most part.

I have a feeling this thread is going to get busy after that post!

D@mn right, you Sith b@stard!

PC load letter! What the Eff does that mean?

Thanks! The 10020 Super Chief was in the lot as well so really made out well. That one is just missing a few pieces I have already found, but the passenger car has me scouring the globe for several replacement pieces for the under belly of the car.

Utimately resistance is futile but wow today I resisted.

come on! sorry not needed. i'm not some sensitive guy. heck, i have my 5 yr old son calling me major payne now due to how i need to wake him each morning for school.

The fact is though, there is less chance of a kid getting 2 of these at Christmas and selling 1, less chance you'd sell this set if you got it as a gift, a lot of investors like to keep to investment on a set under

After seeing the quantity hoarded here, now I'm seriously thinking about selling mine. Everyday we keep seeing new signs that this market is getting overcrowded.

I've got close to 90 of these now. However as it's not looking like retiring anytime soon I'm going to hold up buying anymore till next year. This is by far my most stockpiled set and I'll be aiming for 100-150 by the time it's done.

I can comment on US stock based on my relationships with Lego GM's on the West Coast... Most stores are on week three of a seven-week run. Depending on store size, shipments are generally five minimum (one case), upwards of twenty plus for larger stores. Nowhere have I seen them last more than the day they arrive. This may differ elsewhere. My advice: Ask your Lego store which day their shipment arrives and be there that day thirty minutes early. Gratefully, in So. Cal. We have seven stores in a sixty mile radius; doing this I have acquired 11 RI's. Should work elsewhere.

A mon calamari can go really wild if he feels trapped.

The Progressive lady is almost as annoying as the duck. I avoid both insurance companies On topic: Darn eBay and their glitches. As if I did not already have things to do on Sunday night

Ha. This is also a 2 in 1 Creator set. UCS Sandcrawler and Swiss Army knife.
