You are reading way too much into all sorts of things.

Alot more end users already have GE in their collection. Most missed out on TH. Resellers stockpiled GE but most missed out on TH. TH is the centerpiece for the modulars collection and is a must have:

very true but just a free warning hxckid88 (sorry if I flipped the x and c again) will gladly ask you to paypal $5 to his personal email address for just about anything lol As stephen said though plenty of people willing to help out and plenty of information available if you take the time to read the threads.

This is probably the strangest or most random purchase story I have had so far. A couple of years ago, in a kid's activity center gift shop I found a couple of retired 8051 Technic Motorbike's for $45.99. I bought one and left one (was selling for about $120 at that time). We were there again probably a year or so later, and they suddenly had 4 on the shelf. That time I bought 3, which all have sold in the $150-$160 range. We returned again about 6 months ago and they had nothing. I happened to be by there yesterday, so we popped in for a look, and they had FOUR of them on the shelf again! Picked up all 4 this time. It's a fairly rare set with very few for sale on Amazon/eBay, I have no idea where they keep finding these, guess I need to just ask how many more they have in the back. :-)

He's asking about the "passes on" sets... The ones that don't get made get squat as far as we know. I find this whole notion that Lego steals ideas from the ideas site pretty funny. I can't imagine the good designers wouldn't look for MOCs on the net for ideas... Or experiment with a wide variety of models before settling on a few choice models.

all the investing tips you need are on this site and are absolutely free. No need to pay anyone for stuff that can be found for free with a little bit of effort. Welcome to the site and good luck.

I still print on a printer and adhere with shipping tape. I've been doing the same thing for 15 years.

Are you F5ing the listings or something? Chill out, take a break, forget the TH exists and revisit it in the fall.

PS Falling water went from 99 available at Lego to "Sold Out" about a week ago. .........Kinda big news Fallingwater just yesterday went to secondary sellers only on Barnes&Noble .com THAT might be the big news. Amazon is now the only retailer to still have it at retail and they are limit 2. The hoard may now descend. Thank you.

I got too much time

I think I heard my wallet grown as I watched this with big eyes.

Well, if he used his knowledge and discount to buy up a load of those sets he probably doesn

Classic supply and demand situation. Resellers think it will go X times MSRP so are buying them from other resellers thus pushing the price up further. We will see if they manage to create a bubble or if there is really a sustained genuine demand very soon. Also if you see the full street built , it is the most commanding building and is a real centrepiece.

Task #1: Buy 5 Flying Flushers right now! http://shop.lego.com/en-US/The-Flying-Flusher-70811

Well, I'm sure it's no surprise to anyone, I don't own a smartphone either. I have a work phone, locked down. I can receive texts, no pictures.

There's unconventional, cheap, old school or whatever you want to call it lol and then there's guys giving away these labels on ebay for 1.5 cents to 2 cents per label delivered Can't see how a sheet of paper and tape is cheaper than 1.5-2 pennies a label but as we say to each his own I went about 10 years and gave in. Shoot I remember the old little Pitney Bowes postage machine you stuck the bubble mailer in and it put postage on for you. Before that stamps in all sorts of combinations for the mailers lol.

I'm old school like that too. And cheap.

somehow that doesn't surprise me LOL

Coming Soon!!! ???

Picked these up from Asda just to alleviate the boredom of this course I am on

None in Chicagoland. I would like to do my part and pick off about 10-20 more heh. Maybe I'll drive to Milwaukee.

Now we have to get rid of the 3-6 per store at the 650+ locations Hadn't gone in awhile, stopped in 4 in an area and they all had that amount.

Have a current inventory either in excel or some other format Set Number, Name, Quantity,Price and comment such as damaged box. Come up with a price you will accept for the individual sets and a discount if the buyer takes them all. I did this with a couple hundred sets it was a win/win for both parties.

Down to only 158 left worldwide on BL (no further US sales but some people have withdrawn multiple lots and European sales have increased slightly).

Down to bags 4 and I love this build. While TH still remains my favourite as for the bang/buck, this one is my favourite when it comes to detail, character and building fun. A relief after building PS and PR.

It was actually yesterday, but I bought 2 Trevi Fountains and 1 Brandenburg Gate from the Archetecture line. The Trevi Fountain sets were $34.76 marked down from $49.90 and Brandenburg Gate was $21.34 marked down from $29.99. Got these at Target and was really surprised. They were actually hiding on the second shelve down behind the 30% off clearance sign. You couldn't see them just looking at the shelf. You had to lift up the sign to see them. I'm so glad I looked!! It's about time I found a couple discounted sets.....and I'm glad they were Archetecture sets since I don't have any.

Welcome!

Stay away from SGE but learn about kaos and shulk and MM Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

Welcome home

You'll sit on those for too long waiting for them to appreciate. Here's three quick tips because I'm bored: -Join the free Barnes and Noble email club (or the full club for 25 bucks), wait for an email coupon, and use it to buy every "Fallingwater" Lego set in your area in-store. -Try to get some Ghostbusters Ecto-1 at Toys R Us using coupons (none right now but they creep up every week or two)...that will be a winner. -If you see people post that "Research Institute" is live for its normal price, get some. You'll want them one year from now even with no discount now.

Welcome. & get comfortable. You've got a lot of reading to do.

Just built my very first MOC alternate using only pieces from 31012 Family House. Wanted to try it out as a "modular" size house and this was the result What do you think? Any recommendations? Each level comes off easily as well, second floor and roof.

Yep testify, great site , great great help to me ,and only a short while on it,some minor clowns knocking around ,but that's every site .my little opinion ,VW T1 will be a winner, again my opinion.very best of luck @denawayne

Don't pay anyone for advice. It's all personal opinion and, in many cases, highly suspect.

Welcome to Brickpicker! Yep, there is absolutely tons of stuff on here. The forum is also well organized, so topics are fairly easy to find, just got to look in the right places. Just a quick rundown, there is the search bar at the top right, and plenty of categories on the main forum page, inside each you have the specific threads relating to all kinds of info. I gaurentee you there is much more than one might expect to find, it`s amazing. If you`ve got any general questions feel free to ask someone or myself. There`s plenty of very knowledgable folks on here who I`m sure will be happy to help, but like stephen_rockefeller said, you can find lots with just a bit of looking.

Anyone else notice this in the PC description on Amazon? Pretty sure I'd fit in that Limo, forget minifig scale. How many bricks build that limo again? Maybe 50,000? How did they fit them all in that box?

a qfll Hulk Buster smash sets - sold 5 @ 69.99, buy in was $20

Nice find! Don't know about you, but I've always found when I actively seek out yard sales or estate sales, I never find anything good. It's always the ones you randomly run into or go just because a friend or significant other is going.

I love Kroger.

I don't normally follow this thread so I apologize if it has been said. I am sure I am not the first to say it but if you are holding on the set 6866...it may be time to let it go...with the new deadpool movie coming out, surely there will be additional deadpool sets. (There may already be one...I have trouble keeping up with all the lego minifigures currently out.) Just a thought...

SOLD my Mr. Gold for $1099.

Huw of Brickset has done something 'tried & true' with other modulars by adding another floor to the Detective's Office. It does make the structure more level with Green Grocer and a couple of the older modular houses but now it seems too big altogether in my opinion. >Detective's Office + extra floor

I always thought the '50 Shades of Grey' books were the laments of a DS investor who loaded up back in 2008...

You can always counter offer with a price more that what you were originally asking. It works for the Old man on Pawn Stars.
