For all of the companies I've worked for, generally it was ok to buy product and do with it as you wish as long as you were not on the clock and you did not use your employee discount. I don't know if that's Lego's policy. So all they would have available to themselves over us is stock status. I guess they might need a forum thread, "what I heard from myself today."

You should have told him that he can buy one from you for 300 euro :-P

Called Lego again because I wanted to return my exo suits :-P.. I also asked them again about the HH that I have on backorder. The friendly lady at the phone said there was a small batch coming in where also all the Lego employees themselves were excited about, because there was a frenzy going on under the staff itself to obtain also a HH. So.. first divide the shipment under the staff. is there anything left? OK than we are going to fulfill some backorders LOL.

for 135

Having LEGO declare a set "retired" is just a confirmation of what a sharp and savvy investor investor already knows. If people are waiting for a set to be officially marked as such, they are already too late and will never make any money investing in LEGO sets.

Dump the crap, not a FB.

Keep FB but buy more TH. With 90 day free returns that would be the best strategy right now IMO. I was a doubter 3 weeks ago but after TLG tipped its hand then it is time to go all in. I am in this game to make money, not to be right.

When you have dozens of similar boxes of fun piling up - it isn't so much fun.

I do have to say that if this bad boy is truly gone this year and gets the "official" mark from Lego, then me picking up 14 in one fell swoop at the very end may go down in my very own history books as an amazing opportunity. When SSD was going and I was able to snag 4 from amazon at the last minute of random inventory I thought that was great. I am now at 24 of these, I figured I was done and wrote it off, thank you Brickpicker!

If you read enough of the posts these last few weeks - everything is retiring.

The more I look the more the more work I see.

My eyes!

Mixels are a horrible investment. Everyone should stop buying them. That way I can come and buy them all up.

When the movie "the Avengers" came out I saw it on opening night and bought a large drink which came with the Avengers souvenir cup. I then sold the cup for $36. So ticket $14 + drink $6 = $20. I got paid $16 to watch the Avengers.

Dunno but the EEE will not retire before 2050 considering all these dedicated containers.

Everything is retiring this year!

I've actually pulled all mine from Amazon and didnt re-list at EBay. I sold 6 in five days but I am not selling anymore for at least a couple years. I have built one and that changed my thinking on its potential for $700-$1000. Money now is great but lots more in a few years is worth a hold now.

Both stores in my area got some in today. They won't put them out on the shelf, they get you one from the back if you ask about it. (Same process with the Tumbler, it seems). One of the stores had a shipment in two weeks ago, as well. That's all since the very first batch, whenever that was. I don't know any quantities. That seems to be top secret info.

Yes the legs are attached too. It doesn't look like anything can be taken of a light-up minifigure.

Do you guys think Series 3 and beyond will sell as high as Series 1 has/is? I figure the first series or two of anything get the high sales for those who were late to the game.

I unexpectedly found a pile of Series 1 (not many yellow as I recall) - maybe 30 total - sitting at the end of a clearance isle where there were no other toys in WalMart a couple weeks ago. Was in a hurry and foolishly left them... haven't seen any anywhere since. Around here Series 2 is like this: Flurr (blue) is nowhere to be found Slumbo (blue) exists in quantity only one place Jawg (brown) is getting hard to find Lunk (blue) is of course a little scarce but nothing like the first two. One of the B&M stores has about thirty of him along with all the orange and brown. Targets have tons of Series 3, Many TRU do as well, and I see considerably less of the purple ones than green or gray. Anyone surprised at the bright color dominance?

For an intelligent analysis of 10228 read here: http://blog.brickpicker.com/evaluation-corner/lego-10228-haunted-house-investment-potential-that-is-scary/ FWIW HH is already outperforming GG handily in the early stages. I bought my MISB GG for $300 shipped on ebay 18 months after its offcial retirement.

Yes, without hesitation! Especially Yellows as those tend to sell for the most. Black/gray tend to be the most common but still worth grabbing

I don't plan to hold mine long term, but come Christmas season, little Johnny needs his Mixels fix.

How many kids errrrrrrr disguises do you have?

That is why you have frayed capes. You can't remove the head. You can however change the batteries. I have done this several times with no problem.

You were joking right? As long as you've been on the forum, a little reading or research will do you some good.

200% agree with that. I forbid you to resell your FBs now ! (unless you just want your money back, of course) That's not a year since it's retired !!

Welcome to the show.

Not to get off topic but let's not put Lone Ranger and LOTR in the same category. One was a single failed movie which is already forgotten and the other a beloved franchise that will stand the test of time. I'd put LOTR more in the category of Indiana Jones and those are doing ok, though it depends on the set... it will be the same for LOTR.

Yea, I hit one order, then went fro another and it dropped me to 6 available. I took forever too, as I wasn't logged in etc, wrong CC. I figured no way. Then CC flagged as fraud, jumped through those hoops and still snagged the second order. BP's must have been looking at flowers at that particular moment.

In any event, do not miss the boat if you feel it's on its departure.

Use coupon code 941 612 780 for an extra $10 any order over $25.

Some people find petrol, I find legos.

Yes, in a local toy shop that was also the one that had some 21110.

In a certain way, it would be like comparing an Emporium with a Grocery. So I wouldn't exclude this possibility, even if it's slight. But a museum, a tool store or a school would be a better bet. (come on lego, where is the sex shop ? I have a serie 12 - piggy guy to put in front of it)

....and lose ALL of the manuals? I'd be leery about this one. Personally, I'd stay away from this lot.

No one here can verify that claim.

Lego police aren't issued any guns, they would be defenseless against the impending pack of wolves that would run amok amongst Legotown.

The limit on likes... Any reason why that limit still exists? Maybe I'm too willing to give up likes, but I find it easier to like something than give an empty response. I thought lines were linked to points at one time, but since we don't use points anymore...

Great idea! And Christmas is right around the corner. I would have been happy to receive a card, but classic spaceman! My address is ...

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.

It don't matter anymooooore! LEGO Shop at Home cancelled my order but today I bumped into 4 more :'D

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:

If I have a good planned out idea of just the pieces needed/wanted for a MOC based on the ones included from a set then I'm sure it is quite possible as there usually is a handful of stuff leftover. There is for consideration how consolidated a list could be made between the pieces wanted and the sellers out there with most of them available. Then compare all that trouble to the sake of convenience with buying the set outright from the store. For me none of the parts go to waste and I enjoy the challenge of trying to design something utilizing the included parts only. Funny thing as I go with the MOC, I find myself constantly modifying it because a new idea using some of the parts lying on the sidelines pops up. I lost track of the times taking apart my Small Cottage MOC to implement another bit of furnishing I didn't think about when drawing up the initial blueprint in LDD. Heck, I ended up scrapping my original idea and went freestyle. Now it's my favorite house on my desk ....even if it is a tiny one sitting there beside the towering Haunted House. Ha.

Charm will work over anger 11 times out of 10.

RI, $74.95 Mixels Series 1, $114.95

I sell a lot of box damage and it goes for roughly the same. Nothing to worry about especially with 20% off. I would take box damage AA at 130 any time.

I built this set and absolutely love it. The build was far more technical than the box graphic would imply. I have several stocked for investment, and will acquire a few more. That there is NOT a lot of buzz on this one makes it more appealing to me... Less stockpiling by fellow investors + the passion of LG train enthusiasts (of which I am one) are a recipe I like. Hoping I'm right!!

Less hoarded. Once in a generation set. No future remakes likely. It can be used as a wonderful display piece every Halloween, which is the new cool holiday. Just a wonderfully creative and finished set.
