76000 Arctic Batman for US $71.30 (total with $8 shipping). Bit baffled on this one... It was auction style, i expected $25-40... Buyer paid too.

Finished a couple UCS sets this weekend, including the Tie Fighter. Looks great next to the others! Wonderful builds, all of them. Some innovative stuff in the TIE build, including the wing attachments. Have really enjoyed these.

Took the family to NYC for Mother's Day, and we swung by the Lego Store while we were there. There was an ignored pile of clearance items off to one side. I was surprised to see (and grabbed) 2x 60064 Arctic Supply Planes for $13.48 each (reg $49.99). Also grabbed a bunch of "I Love NY" Lego Statue of Liberty magnets while I was there.

Sold one Desert Skiff 9496, after fees/shipping = $50. I'll take it...putting the small profit towards Parisian Restaurant soon

I'm gonna list mine as "vintage".

I really wish they would open a processing center on the west coast. This time last year we were selling large quantities of big ticket items to Australia thru GSP prior to the USD flexing its muscles. Those sales only trickle in now. It was great while it lasted.

​ K9!!!!

Sold 16 HulkBuster Smash this weekend for $50 Amazon.

In the last week I've used some Kmart surprise points to get an avengers iron man vs ultron (76029) for $2.99, a guardians of the Galaxy starblaster showdown (76019) for $9.99, and a pirates soldier outpost (70410) for $9.99

​I've traveled quite a bit lately, and I always like to stop in B&N and Lego shops. From what I've seen, the LTOP seems to be depleting in stock, while the White House is almost always filled to the brim in all the stores (meaning it's being restocked). I've also noticed this same trend at my 2 local B&N. It hasn't had the UN and LTOP restocked while the White House was restocked. The same thing happened with the UN architecture building, it eventually stopped being restocked and now it's becoming more scarce. It could be just the stores i've visited, but i'm thinking this is just a sign. The White house is everywhere, while the LTOP is not.

I got a nice little deal yesterday for 75.00 CDN of used stuff. Here's what I got: 6868 - Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout 6860 - The Batcave 76005 - Daily Bugle Showdown 60022 - Cargo Terminal 30168 - Iron Patriot gun mounting system (polybag) 76000 - Arctic Batman vs. Mr. Freeze 6862 - Metropolis Showdown With those, around 4-5 other smaller Superheroes sets, a small City set, and a small Ninjago set. Not missing much from them - Spidey from the Bugle set and Aquaman from the Mr. Freeze set. No boxes for any of it, but all manuals were included.

​He's at it again, had to report a UCS Star Destroyer this morning. Same idea as the person selling the Cafe Corner and Imperial Shuttle, different user name, but location the same and 1 feedback as a buyer, again from the same Chinese seller as the previous two times.

​I've offered the other bidder who had the bidding war with the winner a "Second Chance Offer" at their last bid of 62USD, let's see if they bite

If you're willing to pony up for the Sandcrawler, I'd probably go with the X-Wing + TIE. Not that much more $$$, and they're made for each other.

​I agree with this. Built mine about a month ago. A cool little set and very swooshable.

L. Rivendell Museum of Natural History by Jme Wheeler

​I actually heard it was being replaced with a UCS Spaceball One...

Sold a Weathertop for $60 local cash sale. Bought at 30 or 40% off so a decent return. I only have one more of this crappy set to sell.

​...and Jake Lloyd "Yippee!"

I must be old because the 2 Electro costumes below are the only ones I recognize

Fred Meyer has Lego BOGO 40% off this week except Friends and Elves. Was hoping they would get Jurrasic World sets but no sign of them yet. And Bellevue TRU has the Spiderman 2 Electro polybag for purchase for $3.99 had several dozen when I left this morning.

I BELIEVE Tower Bridge is leaving us as we speak. Sold out at retail everywhere. (Ships in 30 days at SAH) Actually kinda shocked at how quietly it has been happening...

White House​

Bought a town hall, arkham asylum breakout and haunted house for personal builds over the weekend from a fellow BPer. Hurt the wallet, but I am late to the LEGO game and definitely wanted these for my own collection.

​If he's stealing from family, I wouldn't hold out much hope for the ultimate end of any transaction with this doofus. Do the mutual refund thingy and then put him on your blocked buyer list.

​Haven't had the two side by side, but from reviews is sounds like 7662 is still the superior model.

​Let me know who they are, I'll offer them one at $55 USD.

​You want to watch out for Smyths, they're not that cheap. If they say 20% off, then that's off their price, not the MSRP. The Cantina's MSRP is €80, so 20% off would have been €64.00. You should have bought them from Lego separately before the Star Wars offers ended yesterday if you wanted to buy them. You'd have got them for €72.00 each (10% off), gotten an Admiral Yularen polybag, worth about €20.00 and you'd have received €3.60 worth of VIP points.

​LEGO + Video Games + Dr. Who ? I have not seen an Orc so excited in my life The TARDIS doors better be printed pieces

That portal set. I was not planning buying any of these, but... a brand new gun mould? Now please LEGO make a Gordon Freeman with a bloody screwbar! You made Revan, he is the other one I want!

I had a good CL score today. $125 for all. The HP sets are mostly complete w/ instructions. The SW sets have no instructions, and are missing about 1/ 2 the minifigs. 4840 - HP The Burrow 4842 - HP Hogwarts Castle 7676 - Republic Gunship 7680 - The Twilight 8018 - AAT 7674 - V-19 Torrent 8019 - Republic Attack Shuttle 7877 - Naboo Starfighter 8095 - Grevious Ship 7665 - Republic cruiser

TMI ;)

Technic Volvo Front Loader - great set, but not as great as the crawler cranes. A definite recommend for any Technic fan.

I just recently started using gsp and starting to sell a lot of things. Since it is 70 miles from my house almost anything I send there costs $5-7 priority mail...

Bought that Craigslist Town Hall I mentioned a week ago. Damaged box, but still all 4 seals. Paid $447 USD. And I'm pretty damn certain I'm going to crack those seals and build the sucker. Figured it might be good to be on the buyer's side for perspective right? It hurts the wallet, but was thoroughly satisfying at the same time.

​Did you try to see if it was there? It is already there. I remember adding it back in the beginning when this came up for shipping entry.

Heavily discounted TP is a good place to start.

​Gahhhh! Never drop in on someone's wave. Great wave!!!

​Done and done.

I don't really care if it retires in six months or 2 years, I've got the number I feel comfortable with. Whenever it does finally go and the F5 brigade all start freaking out I can sit back with some popcorn and a frosty beverage and enjoy the show. This isn't timing the market, this is waiting the market out. Point is, if you think this set is a good investment, and you have the scratch, why wait until it's hard to find before you get one or ten, or go all Ed on it? Or, go all hulk on it in this case.

"De Spar" supermarket with apartment upstairs by aloisvonesterhazy

​Apologies if my NOPE was offensive. This SW thread seems to just be very circular. Page after page of someone saying the set is retired, followed by someone saying that these holiday sets have a 2 year cycle, followed by noting that the other holiday sets came out of retirement in the UK, followed by the suggestion that it's a popular set why wouldn't lego bring it back for another year? It's like listening to my Grandfather tell a story. Anywho, sorry to be negative. It will be back for next Christmas, I'll unsubscribe from this thread. Good day to you sirs and ladies.

Thanks for all the input guys. So my gut feeling was good... Potentially worth in a very long time haul but mid-term there are better ways to invest your money. Besides I found 5 GE for 172€ in the same shop, that's a far better investment imo. Let's see if EV gets a better than 10% off treatment this May the 4th, this one I am also terribly biased about (the other end of the bias ), I have a feeling it might do really well after EOL.

​you just eliminated 99% of brickpickers

Emerald House by cimddwc Indeed. I almost didn't post that set because of the messy bits but still I thought some of the overall ideas for aesthetics in the buildings were good albeit difficult to see past the obvious downfalls. At best there should be some decent inspiration to be had and maybe even a little nod towards what not to do.

Sold my HP lot on Brick Classifieds for 700 to Fcbarcelona101...thanks fellow BPer!

Naf, I hate picking on grammars, but shouldn't the text read "Why you fail, that is" ? ;)
