I buy up a ToO, really beaten up box, but as it

All this practice does is hurt the legitimate ebay sellers including most of you on here, yet every time one of these type auctions comes up of $50 Death Stars or half price this and that people bid on them with the hope they are going to get something that will never come. It affects ebay sellers as a whole as ebay then takes proactive measures like restricting additional accounts a legitimate user may have or putting harsher monthly limits on sellers to protect them from getting more damage from hacked accounts. If something is over 50% off on a hot item you know its not legitimate so why bother!!!! The attitude that I am covered by paypal and ebay so it doesn't matter is the wrong one to have. It still have repercussions on the site as a whole. Just report these type auctions instead of purchasing them and hoping for the best.

I'm not trying to bust your you know what but your attitude is precisely why scammers are so successful. Your logic is if it's a scam oh well ebay or paypal has got my back. Meanwhile the scammer got away Scott free with your money. Who do think reimburses you? The thief? It comes from PayPal or ebay who have to foot the bill, and then people wonder why the fees they charge keep going up and up.

Is that the guy waiting on his Death Stars to arrive or waiting on them to retire LOL?

You may as well open your PayPal case now.

They produce the set for an additional number of years equal to the quantity you order.

Lol @ "when they arrive".

I ended up placing a couple orders from zavvi.com after they were rumored to be sold out. I didn't think I would get anything but today I got a nice surprise in the mail! I read they made 500 of each color, I ended up with 4 copies of red vinyl and one of them is #000001 as shown in the photo! Never expected that! If anyone ends up with an extra yellow and wants to trade for a red, keep me in mind. Time to break out the wheels of steel.. lol

A resurgence is imminent and a Katy Perry polybag may be pending for the full ensemble.

Atlantis is doing so well in retirement Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

Can't agree more with this. Look at the price people will pay for a bumpy grey triangle (aka: Super Star Destroyer) if you need proof.

Stained Jenna Jameson jigglers? Those crappy huge Hasbro X-Wings that are out right now?

Who's your source?

Bulk lot of 30 GS Creepers at $7.50 each. Huge Gains on GS , HUGE I tell you!!

Ah, the classic Chinese 'Lego to Jewelry' bait and switch. It's the oldest trick in the book. I still have a giant heap of costume jewelry where my stack of MISB 10179's is supposed to be. I just can't bring myself to take the loss and accept that the UCS Falcons I was promised by 'supertrustguy99' (only $99 each with free shipping!) will never arrive... I mean, delivery from China can take a long time, right?

Point taken I shall see if I can get in touch with ebay regarding a possible scam. In the future I will be a lot more careful not to be taken in.

That could have been easily covered had USPS stopped subsidizing those damn mails from China.

To me, these look like City-ized reissues of the AquaZone and AquaRaiders themes.

My wife complained when I have her that same disclosure. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Brickpicker mobile app

Not enough to satisfy the demand for them, apparently?

I am a seller that calls them new. If I part out a set (minifigs), are they used because I sliced open a big bag to take the minifigures out? I don't use stock photos on sets like that and I also list a good description of what was done so it isn't a surprise. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

Something about Star Wars and spaceships seems to trump all rationale when it comes to Lego investing. I have an equal share of these two so I'm happy to see either win. Assuming TOO poofs out completely soon, I expect Red Five to win the 1-2 yr appreciation race and TOO wins long-term.

I might have bought a couple of those X-Wings at Sam's Club, but I'm not sure what they finally cleared out at? I think I saw them at $19.81. I thought about rigging them with some rocket kits for some Saturday night fun.

like clockwork...

I would believe it if SOH was mostly star wars grey...

i Like this boat. It is like the dolphin cruiser for boys And will likely be very popular amonst boys.

Oh goody, it's Cash4Gold but with LEGO.

Brickset.com has a description of the next Star Wars Advent Calendar. They seem to think it will be the best yet. 75097 Star Wars Advent Calendar (

Oh there's no "lose" in Mixels as far as I'm concerned. I just hope we can move them sooner than later. I hope that BP member that's being talked about up's his asking price. If he holds that much power over prices, it could be wise for him as well. I was gonna say, it better not be Alpinemaps! haha. He wouldn't keep them too low. lol

its been less than 3 weeks . with 99 limit TLG must have ramped up after they got sold out during holiday. Now its overflowing... bad timing... amazon ranks it @ 27,383. its moving albeit slowly but at least about 20sets/week. price has been steady and BB price has slightly increased. i see this as a "+"ve ... S3 may not be the best amongst with regard to reselling but again depending on your entry point $$ is there. if S3 remains this cheap by next year then it will act as a very good X-Mas stuffer ...

Don't you love it when your writing a sentence in a memo for your job and you are evaluating the use of the proper to or too for writing and your so deep in lego the first version that comes to mind as the answer is ToO?

Agree, they will be fun to build and play with but for investment maybe not so much Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

42009 (Crane MkII) is the mother of all technic sets. An amazing, long, complex build. 2 gear boxes that switch between 5 functions. You'll get to book 3 (out of six), and still wonder what the heck you're putting together. Very sturdy final model, highly recommended.

I also received two on Saturday in a lego shipping box. Both 10240's came in excellent condition.

I have a hard time building anything but UCS now. Once you go UCS, it's hard to go back.

Yes... (someday...) You seem to be pretty new to the forum so I'll point it out pretty clearly: WE DO NOT KNOW which sets are retiring and WHEN... or even if they really are retired... what we do here is assuming... some here are looking for signs and patterns, trying it the logical way, while others just have "the feeling" or need more posts to get another LEGO-MINIFIG picture ^.^ Also the title of the thread (where you just posted in) could be an indicator: "retiring soon open SPECULATION" ;-) So to come back to you question: YES! The Simpson House is retiring... but I would be surprised if it would retire just now... you should check international markets for it... easiest way is to look at LEGO shop at home (www.lego.com). Is it available? In most cases that's a good and first indicator if it is retiring or not... if it is widely available it obviously is NOT retired... and you cannot tell if it is close to retirement yet.

I love this guys work.....and it transforms

I too had the problem where every time I set out to buy a Red 5, I bought a ToO instead. 2400 pieces versus 1500 for the same price, and the tower is far less likely to be released as another set, while we all know the future holds many more Lego X-wings. Plus you can actually play with the tower. Even at several hundred dollars each, lots of these exclusives are being sold to parents (judging by online reviews and my own customers' emails). With the tower, you can display it from three sides, or turn it around and play with the interior. It's a win-win.

Sold Xmas promo 1/2 and 2/2 together for 45 euro cash.

Haunted house as well?

Anyway I am not going to get into an argument about what is or was the norm. Company policies change all the time and the people that don

While I don't disagree that it is better to not put bad ideas out there - I find it hard to separate these statements of potential danger from many others. If it is all about the common good - We should never discuss what might cause the market to crumble - since it might send people into a selling panic. We should never state that any set is a winner or loser - since it will effect the way people buy and sell. And most importantly - We should never say that someone throws, runs, punches, or buys LEGO like a girl.

Liquidation could begin as early as Thursday: http://www.thestar.com/business/2015/01/30/target-canada-liquidation-to-begin-soon.html

I agree that the box looks a little small, but the set is amazing! Lego did a really good job with these Ultra Agents sets.

Well you can be sure, I won't be competing for inventory. I will display the older UCS star wars in my house. I would not display this. Either make it a play set 10188 or make it a display dsII. Most grown men who would actually pay 350.00 would not display this. IMO. everyone recognizes star wars ships, most would not have a clue on thos one. The tumbler on the other hand, very well executed, displayable, afol target market. To each his own though.

I expect the 66493 Will stop Soon, because of the normal sets are not selling. The 60052 is more expensive than the 66493 in Holland.
