  1. Saw this pic on reddit today. Sure the DO isn't a huge modular or anything, but man the Slave I looks massive.

  13. 40056 Thanksgiving Feast has some bottles that are good substitutes. LEGO is not stupid, they just can't do alcohol smuggling: pool bar and cookies? Come on. Even lego says it's alcohol. This set is really fun. If they stop the modular line after this, I am going to kidnap Jamie, throw him in a hole with heaps of LEGO and play the "put the modular in the basket" game.

  14. Well, here is a brilliant alternate model showing just one way this set can be transformed into a modular home on par in size with the larger brethren. >LEGO Alternative 31026 - House Church by alanboar >LEGO Alternative 31026 - House Church by alanboar >LEGO Alternative 31026 - House Church by alanboar

  18. It would be a foolish move in my opinion not to buy those sets. I pay above retail for many special sets all the time and I never regret it. People need to realize that not every LEGO set has to be bought at a discount for it to be a good deal in the long term.

  23. I also think the retiring soon could apply to the WM sales. You are going to have have a hard time finding Olivia's house after this week. The other ones might not retire (other than smallville) but their sale going to eat through a lot of everyone's stock, and they going to replace it w new stuff Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

  24. I'm not sure I would have figured out what they were going for had I not watched the video. Using cookies would have made it more confusing for myself if I was just going to study the set/box and try to figure out what was going on. I will say that for my kid, once I explained to him that they were using the hiding spots to sneak the cookies past the detectives...he would have a blast with it.

  25. Ever since I saw the movies I loved Star Wars. Being one of the most impressive vehicles on screen of course the AT-AT was something I wished for when I was younger, stay playing with LEGOs not thinking about investing ;-) There have been quite some AT-ATs and they all have something going for them, though since it's my first one I prefer the newest edition. Anyhow, I always would have loved to see a HUUUGE UCS model of this one. But as you all might be aware of there is nothing like it available. So some of you might already know those MOC AT-AT, but if you have not seen them before you might love them just as much as I do. (if you didn't know: MOC = my own creation, refers to everything that somebody did build by himself without an official LEGO manual (so don't get me wrong it's not MY personal own creation ;-) )) Please feel free to post other cool MOC AT-ATs It's difficult to pic a favorite, but to me it is the ATAT MOC8 (i posted). I also really like the Friends-theme version and the steam-punk one. And the VW bus is just hilarious :-D

  30. Sold a used / incomplete 10219 Maersk Train for $185 shipped. I bought it about three weeks ago as part of a used lot off of my local Craig's. I didn't inventory the pieces and sold it as is. If I had to guess I would estimate it to be 95-98% complete. I just didn't feel like brick linking the missing pieces. I only paid $50 for the lot, and it also included an incomplete Harry potter train along with a few other partial sets that I'll just break down and keep the pieces.

  31. Sounds like a sweat shop...lol. I wish I could get my kids to help out with the packing. All they do is play mine craft while I'm up to my ears in shipping materials.

  32. You can't play the game like that, at least not in my opinion. Because when that one set does become the next winner? Yeah, you've only got two of them because you're so diverse. I played that game at first, and I've got a garage full of onesies/twosies that I'm slowly chipping away at. R2-D2 is a good example for me. I have no doubt it will be a winner. I have no doubt that people that are picking it up are a making a wise investment. But, I have zero in my stock. Because I can't buy everything. There are other sets that I've decided to focus on. Don't spread yourself too thin.

  33. I really feel like this one is about to crash, too... easily lost as it is amidst the plethora of more desirable, more unique, more exciting exclusives already jumping on the new retirement bandwagon. Is it truly as poor of a seller as it seems? Why? Perhaps because anyone interested in it to begin with already has two or six other X-wings of some sort, all much cheaper and paid for? Stickers, huh? PPP, you say? There was already a UCS X-wing? What is the real draw here, exactly? Assuming some sort of truth in that assumption, my big question is whether the lack of interest will carry over into the EOL years to come, making this a poor to average performer... or if it will translate into a massive supply/demand imbalance due to the corresponding rarity of the set on the secondary market. A potential UCS TIE Fighter in the near future complicates predictions even more. It should raise demand for this set in its waning months (unless that time is now) and/or post EOL, . It would also demand shelf space, which conventional logic would dictate comes from the Ewoks. It might make more sense to try and sell this ship alongside a TIE... stretching its lifespan considerably. Or there might be no such idea at all. I have a hunch the Ewok Village is around a while, though, especially if 10188 finally bites the bullet soon. Episode VII and a new X-wing design? How quickly will Lego have to jump on that situation and what does it mean for this set? Honestly the way things are going now, they could have stopped producing it already and we might not know for a long time. It wouldn't surprise me if there are still a comparable number of R2's in B&M stores out there at this moment. With much more available capital I would prioritize this set pretty highly these days, knowing it could be a very high risk / high return venture.

This post on eurobricks cracked me up: "also looks like a departure from the love story we've gotten in the modulars: PC: first date PR: proposal GE: Suit and dress choice for upcoming marriage TH: Wedding PS: New apartment to start a family DO: wife has run away and husband hires a private detective to find her?"

  37. Wow wow wow my friends it's time to stop those speculations based on the back of the box right now. There are always been only 3 modulars at the back of boxes (the current, and the two last sets). It's like that since the 10185 green grocer. Back of boxes: Cafe corner - cafe corner, alone Market street - market street, alone (I list it because... see next line) Green grocer- green grocer, market street, cafe corner Fire brigade- fire brigade, green grocer, cafe corner (bye bye market street ! Thanks for the fish help) Grand emporium- grand emporium, fire brigade, cafe corner Pet shop - pet shop, grand emporium, fire brigade Town hall - town hall, pet shop, grand emporium Palace cinema - palace cinema, town hall, pet shop Parisian restaurant - parisian restaurant, palace cinema, town hall Detective's office - detective's office, parisian restaurant, palace cinema. 3 sets on the back ? Ok. So NOTHING NEW SINCE 2008

  40. So i got one hell of deal, i think even the best deal of the year for me. I managed to get 170 (yes, 170) polybags of this guy for under $5 each at my local Game Mania (Dutch Game Store). My question is: Should i flip them or keep them for longer?

  44. With them being relatively new, there really won't be any data on them yet. Many people have been cold on these so far, but some of the builds are pretty cool. Problem with lines like this, IMO, is that AFOLS are your target demographic when selling retired sets. They have the money. Do you see them ponying up a bunch of money for that Chima set? I personally don't. Not saying I'm right, but I see more money in lines that AFOLS are going to relate to better, ALA Star Wars, DC/Marvel, classic lines from childhood, advanced building sets. You get the idea.
