  2. Congrats Inversion on becoming a Moderator and best of luck. I wanted to again thank Ed and Jeff and all the Mods with all their hard work and I had fun in the position. Time on the computer is something I don't have a lot of and wasn't able to devote the kind of time to the site that it required and didn't want to half ass anything. I will definitely still be around talking Lego with everybody.

  3. The careful filing of topics into a relatively few number of threads is actually an enormous positive on this site. You don't have to wade through pages of different threads to find relevant topics on the set of interest, you just go to one place. Also, the length of this thread and the age is actually another huge clue if you care to think about it. And if you're observant, there's even more to be learned from that "old and irrelevant" info that you think no longer applies. Quite the contrary, that's some golden info that will tell you quite a bit about the future of not just 10188, but a number of other sets as well. If this was easy and obvious, many more folks would do it. It takes time and patience to learn the basics on both ends: the best way to acquire sets (and which ones), as well as the best way to sell sets (and when). We were all novices once, and we're all still learning. The suggestions you make are counterproductive and would harm the way many of us use this site. I appreciate your suggestions, nothing wrong with those. Understand that the reason things are done such as grouping comments into single threads by set is the result of many expert investors input, some serious wisdom on this site, and the result of many mistakes made by others before you. You're benefitting from all that. You'll come to see why things are done the way they are here, and hopefully recognize the value they'll ultimately represent to your investments.

  4. if we did this, it would make it easier for investors to get into the market. many of us spend hours reading topics that are years old to see how the speculation pans out. this is great information. so read on, and maybe in a few weeks you can grasp which sets you should buy. have a good one!

  5. He's stating it more like fact rather than opinion, and not nicely either. I don't care if people want to post what they think, but when they are rude about it and act like a little kid trying to get their point across its annoying and a waste of time reading the post......especially with " I am right.thanks". Great, he may be right, but coming off like a pompous jerk isn't going to make others here like you or respect your input. Rant over, moving on.......

  7. Tonight was a pretty medieval night, I got a used medieval market village (10193) for $100 shipped and a used kingdoms Kings castle (7946) for $50 shipped so I guess now I'm basically forced to get the kingdoms joust set

  11. Nope no code and no inside knowledge. I remember I think Dave is the person who spoke with a mid level manager and was told PC is going this summer. It is really strange in how it has acted. I think he may be right guessing 40% chance. It is by Astrid and all her sets get retired early it seems It is my favorite modular. I think PS soon fills US back orders and is done Guesses I am probably wrong

  16. Hi all, Thought I'd stop by an introduce myself as a sumbled across your site when trying to find out more about lego, as over the past few weeks it appears I have become a wife to a secret lego wanting husband and mother to two lego wanting young girls! So far the girls are happy to just play with whatever I can get cheap! and we did pick them up some lego movie stuff on a recent trip so I think this has got them onto the ideas of sets being available and I'm already seeing first drafts of birthday lists with Elsa, cinderella et al. set's on so I guess we're into disney princess teritory. As for my hubby he's decided now is a god time to get back to his lego childhood memories and is talking about an upcoming purchase of a death star! and a VW camper (although I have to admit from what I've seen so far I'm strangely tempted to also push him towards the modulars as I think they look cool). So as I'm the one tasked with buying etc. I have the feeling that you may find I have some silly questions in the near future.

  19. If you don't ming me asking, did you get any type of discount or did you buy them at regular price? I want to get more of these as well. I have about three and don't want to regret not buying more like I regret not buying more Delorean's. Those were half the price of the Ecto-1's and I should have bought more but I just didn't. I wanted to diversify and get some different sets. These Ecto sets are awesome looking and have great minifigs. I don't see how you can go wrong.

  22. Problem is that a select few never buys thousands and if they do, they are not using the affiliate links. At least not what we see. I think you overestimate what people really buy and stockpile. As I have stated many times, the NON-LEGO discussions would enter areas of discussion that did not have a place on a site designed around LEGO bricks. Really, use the INVESTorSELL.com site. It's what you are looking for.

  24. The contract was made with LucasFilm and Disney had literally no way to dissolve the agreement without seriously burning itself. However I see a couple of LEGO SW movies/series down the road just not made by Warner. They will be done most likely in conjunction with a Disney subsidiary. Disney channel is already featuring Droid Tales. LEGO animations became a brand on its own by now which Disney has no way to compete with in that segment. But this game is purely a competition and a pretty close substitute. Most households won't finance multiple collectible toy games.

  35. Have you ever wondered "What would it be like if Jar Jar were to experience death each day all 365 of them in a single year?" then look no further than this currently ongoing project by Eurobricks member Dr Spock 888 over at his Flickr gallery. Jar Jar having a bad year NOTE: At the time of this posting date, it was on Day 99 so be sure to check back every other day at least once to see the new death of Jar Jar.

  47. 4x Fairground Mixer for $509.30 all-in. $127.32/ea shipped/taxed. I think this set will be helped by the upcoming Ferris Wheel, this is my first inventory acquisition of the mixer, and I had a discount coupon to use to acquire it.

  48. I was thinking about potential themes LEGO could come up with and one that I think would be a fantastic idea would be to create LEGO sets of rides and attractions at Walt Disney World/Disneyland. Since LEGO has an agreement with Disney on certain themes already, I would think this could be done as well. To be able to create LEGO versions of Cinderella's Castle, Space Mountain, the Matterhorn, etc. would be great, especially if they were like the modular series where the interiors were as detailed as the exteriors. There are many, many possibilities for this theme and it would allow collectors to create their own versions of the Disney theme parks. In addition to LEGO fans, it would appeal to Disney fans and also be a bonanza for LEGO investors in the secondary market once the sets are EOL. I would think that LEGO could make a ton of money off a theme like this. Thoughts anyone?
