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 don't know if here is a thread for this already, but I was looking for an answer for a certain set (70809) Lord Business Evil Lair how many of them are in a LEGO shipping box. I think this would be helpful to have a thread where people can post for each set, as the amount of items that I have received damaged is huge, usually if you buy a single set in the UK (Not Lego S&****) they send it in bubble wrap (if you're lucky) in a plastic bag, but i have found if you buy the quantity of a shipping box they usually just ship it in that box and it protects the items better.

I think the topic you are looking for the is the Number of Sealed Bags in each Lego set. It has a lot of sets in the main list, so hopefully your set is there so you can confirm the contents.

Congratulation. It seems like you are the only BP'er in your area . No one buys Legos :)

Nicely done! At full retail, you will see a nice ROI for this.

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.

I have not been disappointed yet this year and have had no order cancellations but there is still 2 months left to be let down.

Sold 4842 Harry Potter Hogwart's Castle used, without the box, but with minifigs and instructions, for $285.

Lego announced the 2015 tour dates & locations today. They keep having a city close by to me so that is good. Its a fun day for kids & the family. I could not find a prior Kidsfest thread so I started this one, if there is one and it should be merged please do so. http://www.legokidsfest.com/?utm_source=2015+tour+announcement+10%2F23%2F14&utm_campaign=LKF+2014+Announcement+email&utm_medium=email Upcoming 2015 Tour Stops:

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.

Blasphemy! I loved trekking around Middle Earth in the LEGO LOTR game and thought the free play was fantastic. That is coming from a big LOTR fan though, so I'm a little biased. I'm not sure I encountered any more glitches with that game than previous ones, but I really didn't keep track.

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"

You're biased frenchie

As I see it, auction makes only sense if you are in a hurry or if you want a steady income, but for investment sets, the best is BIN.

It is strange... It is YOUR historical plane! It would be like a Winston Churchill butter sculpture being sold on EBay to an American top-bidder. National pride is on the line. It is a true patriot's duty, for King and Country, to purchase the remaining 11,238 SC sets immediately.

Knock on wood I e never had a return of Legos with over 50 sales in the last month and a half. All self ship. I've sold sets as high as $350 and as low as $3 plus shipping. I agree with others though and am thinking about stopping selling sets over $200 on Amazon. Problem is they sell for so much more than ebay. Helms deep sold for $190 plus shipping just yesterday. I'm intrigued about the shipping costs for using FBA but don't you have to pay a monthly storage fee for things that they store for you?

Tiger... I am thinking of where you live and remembering trips to the KC Plaza fondly.

I am holding just five for long-term. Depending on your investment capital, there's different considerations. 5 of these will cost you about 175; that is a bit more than one Arkham Asylum; a bit less than a Town Hall or Tower of Orthanc. If all three sets netted the same % return, you are managing only one sale versus five sales and all the time/cost/work that comes with it.

Garage sales! He sold me three AT-AT powered Walkers for $44 a piece, plus worked a Foreman Grill and Different Strokes season three on Blu-Ray into the deal.

The tracking just has to be updated within stated handling time, the timing of the actual scan doesn't matter. If you read the statement from eBay posted earlier carefully, that is what it's saying. The only change recently was that they actually validate that the tracking number you entered is real (meaning it has to get scanned at some point), whereas before I think people were just entering random numbers to get credit for uploading a tracking number.

It's doubtful because LEGO wouldn't just cut such a large portion of a VERY POPULAR theme in one go. (Obviously, I don't have facts on sales but it's hard to believe otherwise) They probably won't retire half the sets we are discussing. Come on people - T1 Camper, Sopwith Camel, GE, TH, HH, PS, Orthanc, etc. all in the same few months?? Unless LEGO is attempting to alienate their AFOL community and piss off a portion of the TFOL population who are saving up for pricier sets, I'm pretty sure we can expect 3 from the list that I just named tops. The odds of all of the sets being modulars is pretty low at that. Several experienced members (as well as some with insider information), have given their opinions, and the arrows definitely don't point to three modulars.

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.

I build in stages when I have time in my garage-workshop-man cave, and the TH is my current project. It really is beautiful, sturdy, and very well thought-out. I understand why some might say "meh" at first glance, but it's an iconic "city center" piece, not unlike the actual limestone courthouse on the city square in my hometown. I'm glad I have a few stashed away and one for me. I think it will do well as folks continue to build their modular cities and realize this is the building they were looking for to tie everything together.

Everyone wants what they can't get

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.

Give me that package, I'll take good care of it with fava beans and chianti.

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 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.

If there's any indication, this thread is one of them. This thread had like 20 posts at less than 2 pages on October 1st, since then we've had 56 pages of banter.

"Whatever" ? Maybe you missed a little detail but I'll help you with pleasure:

The question is do you want a fast nickle or a slow dime? I am generally content to set my prices on eBay at a bit about average on most things, and sometimes well above average if it's something I am confident hasn't reached its top price. If you need cash, the fast nickle may be more appealing. If you can wait, the attempt at the slow dime (knowing you can drop the price to the fast nickle at need) may work for you.

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

Four out of the Five TRU I have tried tell me I can have the free set, or the 25%, not both. Some right away, some after failure to scan it all successfully, some with managers involved and some not. Finally over the phone I found a cashier who rang up a Batcave with the CC discount and "Bricktober freebie" before I got there to test it, confirming it went right through with both deals. She only cautioned me that it couldn't be a "hot deal" set. When I arrived, she was super cheerful and whipped out the pumpkin polybag immediately. When I asked about the Pizza Place, she looked dumbfounded. Long story short, it still all worked without any apparent override after a small delay when she figured out that she had to press the TRU CC button after ringing up the Bricktober set (This after Membership number / 25% coupon scanned in). I'm 99% sure I walked out with the polybag completely unaccounted for. So until further notice that is my strategy - present membership, then 25% coupon, then ask for Bricktober set, remind to press CC button, then ask for polybag (which won't affect my decision to purchase). Not sure how Thursday will factor into it since three of my whiffs were last week and the one success was Monday night. Hope that helps...

100% have to do insurance for the full price. Signature Confirmation - I might even go sig confirmation by the person themselves. Pack it like you would pack a child (don't ship a child). Skimping is the way to screw yourself on a huge item. Make sure that thing could take a steam roller. The buyer sounds good - wouldn't worry too much there.

Hey guys, I thought i would share my investment tracker spreadsheet, which i think is pretty nifty if i don't say so myself https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-FkThHORDEicDBRMWkyNU54Vmc/edit?usp=sharing Basically, I love the Brickfolio, but it was just bothering me that some of the new sets were showing up as -100%, as I couldn't view the data accurately, I decided to make my own tracker in excel using the exported CSV file from Brickfolio. The formulas are all set up, so if you change the the numbers in the quantity, purchase price, or MSRRP columns, everything else including all the percentages cascades down accordingly. Every fortnight, I scour eBay and update the average market prices per set, this provides me with really accurate indication on the growth % of my inventory. The second sheet added is just full inventory list, which i'll update once i start selling (i haven't done so yet). I hope this helps others too here. Thanks!!
