Because of the countless people he has helped on BP (including myself) I thought it would be good to wish Ed a very happy Birthday. via BP app.

Sold/traded 20 Creative Towers to a local Bricklinker for a Haunted House, Asylum and $420. No shipping and no hassle. Plus I met a new friend. A great deal all around. #1000th

Yes thanks alot 66 years old today, I still am not ready to crack. about 4 more years of buying the big money sets and I think I will call it quits, it could take me many years to sell the stuff. Ed

It seemed pretty clear to me. But I'm not an idiot, so I guess that's why I don't get to go around suing everyone for stupid things.

few weeks old but since you asked :)

38 Joker Bumper Cars. Almost typed steamrollers by accident lol

Brickfan has some new info on the polybag. Bottom line: Lego might be mad at TRU for the way they handled the Bricktober promotion (selling the sets for $20 instead of doing the promotion as it was intended - free with purchase of a set amount). Lego seems to have pulled this polybag from TRU, and is giving it to Target. It has appeared in Target's inventory system with a DPCI attached to it: 204-00-0479 and a UPC as well: 673419233743. It's supposed to be showing up in March or April now. /edit: Lego might be mad (not made) at TRU...

Well pretty funny Jaylay posted 9493 right before what I am posting as I had those questions. I wondered how long the build was and size differential for the 2. I love the way 10240 looks completed but I just don't see the value for it hitting a high dollar amount after retirement. Took right around 4 hours. For a UCS set I just don't think that is challenging enough. Like I said in my Red 5 post the other day I built the Imperial Shuttle right before this so I might be a little skewed but another member said he built Slave 1 and then this and felt the same way as far as the challenge of the build. I still see it hitting $300-350 but after building it I don't see it being a $400+ set. I wouldn't shell out that amount of money for it. I had no problem putting out aftermarket money for the shuttle and it delivered. Now that 9493 is around $100 for about 1/3 the pieces I think the value is right for that set. This set is 3x the pieces and roughly 3x the price so I guess they are on par with the exception of the build time. Well here are the pics.

I sold all of my Destiny's Bounty recently for a little under what I believed was the market price. It is better to make little money than no money (I am looking at you Quinjets ).

It's like Sunday every day for you.......that sucks!

I'm with jaisonline on this one. I just can't get excited about this set. Maybe some interesting minifigs, but there'll always be more batmans, robins and jokers. A weird steamroller and a weird batwing... ok... maybe kind of fun to build and interesting for some... but is it prime "must have" collector material? I think not. Folks are saying they'll make a killing next Christmas, but are you sure that this is what every kid is going to want Xmas 2015? What about all the other new superhero sets... won't they want those? Some say it is a big winner 2-3 years down the road, but what makes you so sure? The Brickpicker price guide says these have been selling at a rate of 10 or 20 per month on ebay ... so that means what... 50 or 100 per month on Amazon? There are 1790 Target stores in the USA. If investors are buying, say, 9 Steamrollers at each one, then they will have stockpiled 16,110 of these by next week. They'd better start selling them soon, because they'll need to move about 380 per month for the next three and-a-half-years. I hope everyone gets the ROI they had hoped for. Maybe I'm nuts. Maybe this will be the best investment of 2015. But I'm just going to sit this one out. If nothing else, it feels nice not being part of the feeding frenzy (for once).

11 Unexpected Gathering 79003 @ $35 each I had been watching these religiously for the better part of 6 months, they finally got around to marking them down today.

If it's not it will be eventually.

20% off in Canada just makes me yawn. I miss Target, haha!

This baffles me. I would guess many of the reviews are from folks that haven't built or seen the set in person. DO may be my favorite modular, period. It has it all: story, detail, theme, variety. The exterior is easily the most varied of any modular, with the walkway, varying height sections, *printed* windows!, and fantastic sign. It's a bar! Add the rotating fan, pool table, complete barber shop with mirror, and the messy detectives office itself, and you have a 100% winner. It's not all about size. Besides, this fits in so well next to other modulars like PR and PS.

Most every review on S@H is underwhelming. Definitely not the site for quality reviews. My favorites are from the 12 year olds on sets that haven't even been released yet.

Target said "let it go" but apparently it didnt work When confronted about who sold the tumblers early they replied "I'm batman" which they did not appreciate

damn its like Lego is the brickfather and if you break the rules they shut you down!

Wrong thread, this is the what architecture set and crazy monuments do you want to be done in Lego thread ;)

I think the only thing it means is you are twisting the knife.

The Big Time Toilet paper club list???

I look forward to my $0.23 check.

Hooper from the Pistons had it right.

These kinds of lawsuits are only about one thing...attorney's fees.

Because it just had to be done....for Terry.

Precisely one of the reasons why I find Bruce Lowell's work fascinating. While the idea of the model can be considered commonplace, the detail behind it is anything but. Here's another of his that practically blends into the local flora. LEGO Hibiscus by bruceywan LEGO Hibiscus by bruceywan

Haha, yeah. Angkor Wat at Miniland, Legoland Malaysia

well, I gotta admit, I really had fun building 9493. Im not usually a builder but every build I do Im just fascinated at the engineering of these sets ... truly amazing work! 2 hours and 15 minutes for me on this build ... I want more!!!

Higher. This will be $400+ by xmas. Easily. It's ahead of FB at this point in the life cycle (FB is 12 months in front), and FB is now $400+. GE remains the only retired modular under $400, and both TH and FB have been appreciating steadily.

My partner is building this right now. It looks fantastic and she just opened bags numbered two. She built all the modulars we have and she's finding this one to be a great and uber interesting build already!

Here is the list of sets with pictures that Brickset has in their database.

EDB Call to Check on SAH. Halleluah! Now let's see if there's any chance in heck this set appreciates.

Yes! Ask yourself, will you be able to get a better price?

This looks like kielbasa.

Oh, I think somenutty liked your Knock Knock joke, yes they did!

He did say that he can also source sets that aren't in his stockpile, in which case I guess he would go through a 3rd party. Seems like a nice guy, Asian Aussie, I got a PS and stressed I was after MISB. I got a perfect one and asked if he had any more. He told me he still had a few more PS, but no more mint-boxed ones. I almost bought a GE from him, but he said the boxes on his stock all have shelf wear (+the fact that they were already marked up to $350), so I passed. I'd like to build the GE, but the investor in me doesn't wanna pay over RRP. The AFOL in me seems to get vetoed by the Brickpicker in me of late. Anyway, I digress. I'm sure he does have 10+ TH, but at 400 bucks a pop, there are better ways to spend your capital. The TH is gone and IMO I'd recommend buying the Palace Cinema. My guess is it came out when the AUD was high, hence it is the cheapest Modular at only 199 RRP and it's already 2 years old. As this guy is local for me, I can see before I buy as I am anal about MISB. SAH works out (only just) slightly cheaper if you take into account VIP points, but buying local gets rid of the chance of getting a mangled box that's travelled from the other side of the earth.

Just got 18 more. Up to 45. I'm all in on this set. I like it that much, especially at $25.

What I heard from a Lego employee: It will contain more than 30,000 4646577:

Neither does the Colossus of Rhodes, which was one of the reasons why I wanted them .. and the other reason, I spent so much time (too much) playing Civilization 1-5 games

If you are on a Mac, check out GarageSale http://www.iwascoding.com/GarageSale/ iSale http://www.equinux.com/us/products/isale/index.html Since I'm not a high volume regular seller, I'm not a fan of the subscription services that charge a monthly fee.

had that question as well the past 2 weeks. Just someone upset that you have it and they don't lol.

saw this over the weekend and had to have one. Used the city bogo to get two and sold one so almost got it for free. Last pic is for exciter1. Now when you say to buy more TP you can buy it in LEGO form as well.

I'll trade you 2-3 Targets for your 1 WM with the Xwings another 2-3 Targets for a Meijer I'll send you the ones closer to mykingdom if you don't mind LOL

I know precisely what you are talking about and have come across plenty of these little minifigure vignettes. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cecilihf/sets/72157624440241953/ LEGO Collectible minifig modular display by cecilihf
