Should we really increase the MIn.Wage?

​ yes but its poe's x-wing... just imagine...

​You need to ask different people...

The value was too good to pass up.

reports of the SOH demise were greatly exaggerated...

'Star Wars' Dreamliner will feature likeness of R2-D2 http://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2015/04/17/star-wars-dreamliner-will-feature-likeness-of-r2-d2/25923671/

​All members should read this as: Leave your price at $250 or above!!

​No there is not. Political discussions are generally ... well ... not allowed. That forum is for (mostly) less volatile topics like video games, movies, and other stuff that can related to hobbies and such.

​I always liked the fable about the dog and his reflection in the water... something about bones. As far as supply and demand goes, the price is affected by perceived drop in demand. It's all speculation and too much emotion right now. This is the way of the stock market as well. Stick to your plans and leave the emotions on the shelf.

​I think it has to do with supply and demand, for the most part...

​UCS Jar Jar bust is still a possibility.

​Shipping cost to Spain is only 21 USD - you might be able to sell the product cheap but why would you subsidise shipping too? One way of catching scammers might be to see if they took the time to calculate foreign shipping accurately - very low values could set off alarm bells.

​It still feels pretty good at $25 buy-in.

I disagree. Keep in mind the RI has already doubled in price here down under. Smaller, popular sets tend to increase in price faster than larger ones. Look at the RI compared to the GE for example. They also sell faster due to a cheaper price point. I do, however agree that being a part of a theme has its appeal. By way of illustration, the Mixer will probably do better eol now that the Ferris wheel has come out.

New Elementary posted a link on their facebook page to a huge update of new parts which were recently added to the Brickset database. This includes completely new elements, and existing elements in new colors.LINK: http://brickset.com/parts/new-03-06-2015I also did some analysis to see which parts are most interesting for fellow LEGO Architecture enthusiasts, especially folks like myself who enjoy the LEGO Architecture Studio set.I hope you find the new bricks interesting; I know I did. I'm especially interested in the new transparent plate with pin, which has a lot of potential uses.---tom

​Another X-Wing?!

Why are you worried? here's some comments made earlier about LEGO DELOREAN in that thread - ​ ​ Delorean is doing better than average at more than 2x MSRP on amazon and ebay 6 months post EOL. Delorean was discounted a long time and is cheaper. Both of these things lend it to being more hoarded. Ecto has never been discounted and costs more so might be less hoarded. I am expecting even better performance from ecto than the delorean. The day ECTO goes out of stock, the price on ebay will be $75 just to cover fees and shipping and will go up quickly from there. This set is targeted right at AFOL's with money. I don't expect this to go out of stock until December at the earliest and probably more like February based on Delorean longevity. But you never know....

10196 GC (no box. excellent used condition with manuals) for $1,450. Only held onto it for 13 months for a nice profit and best of all, had a chance to build / review it.

jeez. sauromosis beat me to it. at least i can list the sets with USD and CAD prices. ha Hoth Bricks has published the official set names of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens sets that are scheduled to be released on Force Friday, September 4th. We already knew the set numbers, the pricing, and number of pieces for the sets which came from BZPower but it’s nice to get confirmation of the set names now. Rey’s Speeder (75099) – 193 pieces $19.99 USD / $24.99 CAD First Order Snowspeeder (75100) – 444 pieces $39.99 USD / $49.99 CAD First Order Special Force TIE (75101) – 517 pieces $69.99 USD / $89.99 CAD Poe’s X-Wing Starfighter (75102) – 717 pieces $79.99 USD / $99.99 CAD First Order Transporter (75103) – 792 pieces $89.99 USD / $109.99 CAD Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle (75104) – 1004 pieces $119.99 USD / $149.99 CAD Millennium Falcon (75105) – 1332 pieces $149.99 USD / $179.99 CAD

​It comes free of charge with every new Exo Suit you buy.

June off to a good start, these are all used. 10144 Sandcrawler $150 4766 Harry Potter $130 3825/3832/3834 Spongebob lot $100

So, I went to return it at the Store, they wanted to credit me back only $68. The computer shows that I paid $320, but will only allow $68 credit. No wonder they are the richest family in the United States.

​not that we know of . when i saw that pic, i was hoping endor froze over.

Yup

​Time to dump your 75054 AT-ATs ?

You know you are out of the loop when Ed posts, and posts talking about the Ed post, make no sense to you

​This is not realistic.

I will tell you a secret. You can keep the bricks in the bag and just use the plate with the chip.

​And don´t advertise that you have 25 available!

​So yesterday buyers were willing to pay $250+ for it but today they will only pay $225. That is all free market magic and has nothing to do with impatient and panicking sellers fighting to see who can get the lowest price and sell theirs the fastest? If everyone left theirs at $250 or above today they wouldn't sell anymore because.... why exactly?

​If I were in Spain you would be right. I would be seriously worried about any set. But the german market still seems pretty healthy. So no sit-downs needed here.

​ Yep. Yesterday there was 1 MF under $250 on Ebay. Today there are 15+. Of course the lowballers will blame it on supply/demand...

​This makes me think.... Of all the "updated" vehicles that are already known in the new movie (xwing, tie) I hope the vehicle that shows up in unchanged form is the AT-AT. I believe there was concept art of a crashed at-at being used as a hideout, but I hope we see a live one in its un-updated glory.

​ Agreed. Just think. They've gone from a one piece radar dish to a several piece rectangular one.....that's like...........at LEAST 3 pieces right there.

​Not sure anyone really reported demise, but I admit I was one who thought it was probably gone - twice now. 21R5 seals in a local store yesterday.helped convince me otherwise. I was really going to buy it, too...

This set was still available on the shelf yesterday. However the store said it was going soon. Take that with a grain of salt as usual.

Yup. I wasn't a fan of Investing in 10225 until building one. Then I was hooked. It's an awesome build that displays nicely. Just wish I had more

​Huh, so that's what a 'sitcom-in-a-box' looks like. I will give LEGO a hand for keeping the design very close to the original submission. Shoot, right out of the box the design is ready for animating and I expect to see a handful of fan-flicks pop up across YouTube soon after release. The layout of this diorama does feel rather 'homey' and is nice all-around. ​I don't know when but I am snatching myself the Doctor Who one in a flash upon release.

​Ya arrived with significant box creases but it was legit.

​A rolling trash can that beeps!!!! You sir have crossed the line.

15 bucks maybe......20 tops.

78 pieces. Badder?

​You've put "the feds" and "mobsters" on the same level by calling them "competition". I'd call that judgment (and a bad one, but that is my opinion).

Well. Should have held mine a bit longer.

This is my find of the Week........ $5,000 Pesos for both..... Sealed , box condition Good.

​A prequel where they show the birth of the hero of the original movies and that hero has mystical powers. Who would ever come up with such a daft idea?

Given that LOTR is over and SW is about to be born again and all leaked details and characters are signs point to not sucking, I'd rank that list Red 5, Red 5,Red5. Ok, not quite that extreme but I don't think you want to be caught under your goal on Red 5 and seems like the set that will pop the quickest and has been hardest to come by of late - at least round these parts. I've decided Red 5 is even a set worth getting banned over so I have 3 on back order at the moment. Don't underestimate the power of the force awakening in a crop of new 1%er SW kid fans and the synergy resulting with their nostalgic parents/grandparents to blow vast wads of cash on sold out or very hard to find UCS SW-themed LEGO sets. Would be nice to have a few bonus Red5s stashed just in case, we get a year with GDP of 4-5% and some wage inflation. Once Red 5 is really past the F5 stage of panic, and listed as SOLD OUT , & darrin gets done buying all the low hanging fruit, this set will be just like all the rest of the recent wave of retired UCS SW sets. . Of course you could go the contrarian route and corner the market on ToO and still have the same happy ending . Everyone wins with these sets. Just some will win more than others.
