​Why? Did you sell a Chima Fire Bike?

​Brickfolio says I've doubled my money, this investing lark is easy. What's that you say, I've to actually sell stuff now, ah crap

I'm keeping my fingers crossed:

By that time, it is too late.

on the topic of the next addition to this team, a bumper car area would be nice. Similar to this one (just mute the video)

A Eurobricks member spotted at the back of the new City Square set's instruction manual an image for a possible future video game without much to go on aside from the "EXPLORE. DISCOVER. CREATE." top caption and an image reminiscent of the classic PC LEGO titles. Let's see, a sprawling digital realm where you can build and create without limitation to your hearts content. ....So basically it's Minecraft but with LEGO bricks. Source: Brickset

The most stupid Ideas set ever... I cannot understand who can vote for such set, if there is a lot of perfect custom sets made by fans... The Ideas is the only one opportunity to have lego sets which AFOLs are dreaming on, and we waste this opportunity by such simply set, which can everybody build from standard bricks. The Ideas is perfect opportunity to make licenced things, which dont have their own serie within standard lego sets, as Ghostbusters. There is a lot of perfect movies and characters, which could be great as lego sets, and which dont have chance to be a standard set. I cannot understand why people vote for Birds, Labyrinth, etc, which can be easy build based on custom instructions from bricklink. But nobody can build sets like Ghostbusters without figures and special parts.

Please share said list! Please? :)

​I dumped all of mine the past few months averaging about $225 each. I do have one left, since this might be the last original trilogy version for quite some time. I'm not sure who I'm kidding, I'll never break the seals.

​ So he won't say what price he wants, it just has to be over $1000 and you have to guess. If you guess 5x that amount he is offended and won't talk to you again. You were supposed to read his mind and offer him the price he wants instead of him, you know, just asking what he wants. No wonder this guy is a failure at lego reselling and has to dump his entire lot at once.

Yes. It looked like they picked the labyrinth set because it was unique. This choice was rather surprising because, well let's just say there was a good reason LEGO retired the entire LEGO games line a couple of years ago.

Sold a 6862 Superman PowerLex set for $30 via Craigslist. Stoked!!

So I was the Discovery Center in Tokyo today and I found the following! And their TRU have a lot of these tall towers... but they are no where North American pricing Bought 5x SOH, 5x Rockfeller Center, 10x each Harry Potter keychains Also have anyone see these in stores in North America yet? These looks really cool and I think they will do really well!

In case anyone wanted to see the set in relation to modulars and/or the Fairground mixer, here's our summer display-

Wife went to go pickup a smallish star wars and castle craigslist lot. The sellers were so happy they were selling to a nice family (my kids are awesome) that they gave her a $160 telescope for free and tried to give her some bookcases for free but she didn't have the room. Some people really are just good.

Ex1, i see your Chima and raise you a City

I just wish LEGO would give some of the larger sets a chance. Enough of these $50 sets. How about a kick butt $400 set?

People need to make sure they put the CORRECT ADDRESS on their orders. How was it my problem when the items never reached them ?

​I think it was more a case of "if something is going to retire earlier in the year, ToO is a likely possibility".

​I think it was something like 12PM PST or maybe EST. But they goofed up and it was saying XX% off. It was working around 2AM PST.

​If Brickpicker has said that you doubled your money, you've pretty much broken even after selling fees, paypal, the sales tax you paid, and shipping. Now you must sit and wait...

Yeah, trust me that I don't think anyone necessarily did anything wrong. I never said that. Just saying I have to filter what info I share on here, that's all. And correct tonysbricks...pretty cheap lesson!

That's a good deal and a very cool ship.​

Only thing even remotely interesting is the Statue of Liberty and the Ferrari/Lambo. AA and tumbler, OK. Most of the rest is dump-lot fodder.

On a positive note, the inevitable 7965 clone and any potential UCS Falcon remake is that it will be a different version, with the rectangular radar dish and other components I'm sure. The characters will be different (or older versions) as well. The new Sandcrawler was a better version of the same vehicle, so that is why the 10144 took a hit. The new Falcon is coming and there is no way to know for sure if it will be the last, but rumors persist about a set that is not Falcon related and would make many people happy.

​Yeah, just using the UCS angle from that video. ​So what you're saying is people ought to continue dumping 7965 then. I only have one left and it's for a friend's birthday it looks like.

Seems like I have to log in every time I come to the desktop or mobile site now. Like the "remember me" checkbox is merely a suggestion. Was working fine until last week for mobile and today for desktop. Yes I cleared out cookies and tried again.

​You can always just buy the minifig... http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=108546

​Haha, no way would I open a Town Hall just for some minifigs. Plus already have the one and only town hall owned open. But yes, similar kid figures like that would be great.

​Absolutely. I think that's why we can write off some of the upcoming review sets now. (Elsa's Ice Palace ain't goin' happen, folks.)

​Looks like a great big reseller kick in the teeth to me... Obviously it'll depend on the end product, but unless they have some unique piece in this set it'll be just a regular old set. I'll get one for the kids though, looks like it would be fun to let them play with and customize.

​Yes, there is a new MF.

Felt like I hit triple 7's yesterday, for me at least. I went to a Walmart about 30 miles out of town. Started chatting it up with an employee in toys and she ended up marking a ton of stuff down even more from the clearance. Picked up: 70146 Chima Flying Phoenix Fire Temple - $50 70724 Ninjago NinjaCopter - $20 79116 Turtles Big Rig Snow Getaway - $20 (x2) Various Microfighters and a few others - $4-$7 Not too big into Chima, but couldn't say no to a set that big that is more than half off. They had two more left, any thoughts on if I should go back for them?

​I think the hoarde expects everything to retire at all times.

Finally found out how to block this SoaB. Thanks to my friends here. Cheers!

​They appear to be 8x1 black bricks with the center line being made of 6x1 alternating black and white plate, layed as a brick wall on it's side. This could be interesting as you could add extra lanes with yellow 6x1 plates as well. The challenge would be any curved road sections, however we are in LEGOland... "We don't need no stinking curves." I really like how the roads and sidewalks look. To wrap the rails they used angle and wedge pieces. That is a lot of work, and it does look really nice. I wonder if the road plates would be cheaper than building. But, there would be a customizability conundrum the plates would create in the process... Hmm, it is interesting to ponder. Maybe it is time to stock up on long black bricks. Thanks for sharing the pictures!

​...and next Easter

​I salute you sir the wisest of decisions. Big money this Christmas. Take it to the bank.

​Then you have 10 or so more than me I said this set bugged me last year and something about it still bugs me. The only redeeming feature is the "retired" flag on S@H website * Usual Disclaimer: Please do not use me as barometer for your investment strategy. Just be glad that you will have 1 less competition when it is time to sell your WVMs

​Exactly the reason to buy more of this puppy!

I'm never sure if 'not selling well' means I'm supposed to avoid a set, or load up on it. After all, TH supposedly didn't sell well...

A new condition coined only here, box envy.

That "dilemma" is my guiding principle on the investing side. That is, only invest in stuff to flip that I really would want for myself. This gets tricky when I reach the intersection of Investment Street and Collection Avenue, but it's still a good bedrock principle to have. (In the case of this promo set, I'm trying to obtain one purely for my collection)

Just trying to funny. To be honest I have gotten caught up in a EOL friency. When I heard that they were going to pull Jabba's Palace off the shelves for being offensive to some religion. I ran out the house like it was on fire ( not panicking, leading the way to safety) out of sheer luck, I got a decent price. Lesson learned
