I sold my very first set today. A 75056 Star Wars Advent Calendar for $79.xx BIN on eBay. I am no longer just a hoarder/collector - I've crossed over and I'm glad to be here.

last night after going out to dinner with my wife we stopped off at target to pick up wrapping paper and some other non-lego junk. as we strolled by the lego section i spy an endcap of 20 or so target minifigure packs - scan at $15. put 6 in cart to wife's dismay. "you already ordered 12 of those yesterday online" "yes honey, but time is of the essence." eyes rolled, nose in air, slight scowl. listed a lot of 6 for $159 bin free shipping before bed, wake up and it has sold. made $38.36 on the flip after fees, taxes, shipping. told her she can take that out of paypal account and that we bought her dad's xmas gift with the flip. point. set. match.

I'm totally all over this idea... BTW For the record, this is post #1000!

TRU online only has 194 in stock..

Dear UPS, No there wasn't a spider on the LEGO box containing my Creative Tower, but thanks for stomping on it anyway. Yours Truely, I like FedEx better.

Yes. In your "Your eBay item sold!" e-mail, click the "Print Shipping Label" button or click "Print Shipping Label" link next to payment in Paypal. Lowest is $1.93 online and includes tracking. There are multiple ways to get there, these are just two ways.

Research institute is back available at LEGO Shop at Home get it while it lasts!!!!

In Europe it is already doing well. Keeping my two for the long haul though. Will be sad to let them go. Such a nice set!

5 more caves and 2 farms showed up in mail today, looks like caves are settling in at $45 now up from $40,over weekend Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

Bought 6 Joker Stream Roller with 6 free Target minifigures @ Target store, sold all 6 Target minifigures between $28.5 -$34.5 shipped within 24 hrs. So that's like a little over $20 discount on each Stream Roller.

Last couple of days : Kingdom's Chess 2x $109 and 1x $115 Mixels Set Red $44

We've recently seen an amazing wave of exclusives and high-end sets go out-of-stock and presumably retire. While we don't yet know for certain which of these sets are truly retired and which may come back into stock after the Christmas rush, I think it would be fun to speculate which of these sets will see the fastest price appreciation to the 5x RRP level. Personally I believe that 10224 Town Hall has the greatest potential to be the first of this pack to reach 5x. Implied in that statement is that I'm convinced it is retired (other than a few oddball shipments showing up here and there) and won't be coming back. My case for Town Hall is as follows: The EOL was unexpected. Most thought that that GE would would exit from the stage with a lot of lead time before TH, so having it EOL almost simultaneously with GE left people unprepared. This means that many people who want it for their personal collection likely don't have one. It is less stockpiled by speculators. Not only due to the suddenness of the EOL, but also due to the $200 RRP. It is a modular so people wanting to "complete the set" will need to purchase it. With a RRP of $200 Town Hall will need to reach $1000 to be at the 5x level. Any one want to guess how long it will take? Anyone else care to speculate another recent exclusive that will be first to reach 5x? EDIT: Ok, make the case for non-exclusives also if you prefer. But please explain **why** you think the set has great promise.

Word has leaked out from Lego that this set will be available in Northern Europe December 13th. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-12-02/for-lego-s-frozen-under-the-tree-try-santa-s-homeland.html Anyone have a private jet?

Last January Toys R US Canada had Buy one get one half off. So the effective discount was 25%. Total price was approx $420 CDN after tax for me. I never saw them cheaper than that, but I didn't really scour the Internet for deals after that as I bought my goal.

For a long time 10221 and 10188 were at 299,99

I will buy every The Mine you have for $40. Sure you don't mean The Cave?

I got a majority of mine from Amazon at the $310 price.

Yep it's a failure just like everyone else told me the tie fighter would be a failure and look where it's already at I'm ignoring all the comments and buying whenever I find them

Here's a few. Market prices are from back in March. First "real" set is probably Market Street.

The topic title and the body text ask for two different things: The topic title? Probably Heartlake Pet Salon. - Could reach $150 in 3 years. Other small sets have possibilities too. Explanation - there are very few pet based sets and friends sets in general have performed well. See Heartlake Vet Another real possibility will be a $15-20 set with exclusive minifigures or possibly a retiring minecraft set. Exclusives? Haunted House. For greatest gross profit, in dollar value, I choose the SSD - $1000 profit easy (at least according to my review of the set), but I don't see it reaching $2000 before the Haunted House reaches $850 Explanation - Haunted House is one of a kind. It has immense display quality and great detail, it looks fantastic and isn't limited to a Halloween display like other sets. Super Star Destroyer is a massive ship and as it has already appreciated 100% in 6 months, it could be the next $2000 set, joining the Taj Mahal, the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, the Grand Carousel, and the mothership. The Cafe Corner and the SSD are probably the only $2000 sets by 2019, if Lego is still appreciating. Edit to add - never underestimate the power of the new SW trilogy to old sets.

Congratulations! This Creative Tower is perfect gift for children.

TRU down to 75 left

you are gonna be in solitude alright, and not by choice. LOL

I'm holding steady on my SW advents. I did dump my friends sets. Had many less of them and the outlook doesn't look shiny. See the same Galoroca seller must have had a pallet of those as well and he still has plenty left.

Sold all of my Chima Worriz Fire bike polys @ 6.99 ea

use medium sized bubble mailers. usps first class mail is a good option. always use paypal or usps for printing labels since you get a small discounts (and usually free tracking). this link might help (in general). http://blog.brickpicker.com/brickvesting/a-guide-to-shipping-carriers-its-a-drag-but-you-gotta-do-it/ note : i'm also merging this thread with existing ones that discuss shipping polybags.

My gut tells me a big Batcave is coming. 6860 was an amazing seller and I think they kept it around an extra year while they built a big exclusive Batcave/Wayne Manor. If it is coming AA leaving makes sense.

you should be charging $2 per poly. firstclass is $1.94 across the board. (2oz) If you charge "calculated shipping" your buyer will pay less and then you'll pay more due to +$ for tracking. (Not a big deal for promo or after holiday polys) yes you should be printing your labels through ebay. You can also print on paper at home and use free pouch at post office.

Well, I was hoping for some good BOGO from Target this week to pick up some more long term holds/Christmas 2015 stuff. Now I feel like it is time to make a move on a few key sets that seem to be sold out at Lego (I am assuming this is good EOL indicator). I am pretty much done picking up 2013 Friends sets but looking to add more Sail Barges (18 month run if gone), Batcaves, and Family Houses. I think the Falcon is risky since a new one is most likely coming out. I am selling mine this Christmas. Might be the wrong choice though. Any other sets with Lego supply issues to key on? All of these are "Sold Out" on Lego USA. Hard to find Sets: 21105, 21106 - Minecraft 7965 -- Falcon Easier to find sets: 41005-41008 Friends sets 31012 - Family House Available: 21103 -DeLoreon (sold out at Target) 75020 - Sail Barge 6860 - Batcave 79008 - LotR Pirate Ship (Call to check availability) 71000 - Arctic Batman (Call to check availability)

It's showing for me now too. Just had to restart my browser...yeesh.

Don't be surprised if they show up at Toys "R" Us though I'll be checking

I got 9 caves in yesterday. I also sold a crafting box for $99 and insta bumped the price up higher

I did, it still shows sold out on the item's page. Maybe because it's limited stock, they don't want people in other countries knowing that it's only available in some countries. Bit weird though. Am I the only one seeing sold out?

Not sure if this is the right place, but I'd like to nominate SnowmanOlaf for the 007 badge for sharing TRU.com inventory levels. Most recently, on the Cinderella's Castle thread.

Our long national nightmare is finally over! OOS on TRU.com and not available at any store within 50 miles of me.

I just stuck that on. Was gonna take the wheels off but was in a hurry.

http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=7038-1 BTW, that spinning blade part in the second pic doesn't seem to belong.

And we though The Tumbler was going to be flip of the year... when workshop price crosses over WVC prices, I will be sad...

The people that think there will be a re-release are more of the "I don't have it, I want it, but I don't want to pay for it crowd", with a little "I am going to load up on them to make a ton in the aftermarket" (not realizing that everyone else will and it will be a Death Star scenario). If you want one, buy one.... Or don't

Only bought 1 set. I'll give you a hint: It's big, black, long, and hard.

Yea I have a feeling the next falcon will look like the current AT AT and Star Destroyer, smaller versions of sets past

The Guardians of the Galaxy sets have a tag saying "available for a limited time" in the official lego catalogue of this semester. Is it any indication of retirement?

Seems like lately some of our more distinguished members could have earned this... Super Troll

If you could see my face, you would see awe mixed with jealousy. Amazing score!

The glow-in-the-dark is awesome. Too bad they remove it
