Retired sets @ LEGO Shop at Home EU - Trooper Edition: 75034: Death Star Troopers 75035: Kashyyyk Troopers 75036: Utapau Troopers

One thing I've seen that may help the value of this set; is the amusement park sets possibly becoming a sub-theme for Lego. People are building their own lego amusement parks and including the Haunted House as an attraction, just as the ferris wheel or mixer would be.

deal! Dat dropship price doe!

Is that the Athens town hall in the middle?

You should be able to change an BIN to auction at no cost by going to click on that option in your My sales window.

They shouldn't be included. Those items are embellished, and you are paying for the additional item/service (plus, I don't believe that many of those transactions are valid anyway).

Y'all make me laugh! Heck just hold on to it till its worth 15 million..........

The story about the 2 men escaping prison in New York has been fascinating. And so are the confessions coming from the one that was recaptured. I heard today that the original plan involved a different getaway vehicle. One of the inmates had been saving his $0.17/hour laundry wages for years. Then he traded some "favors" to the librarian to use the computer. He ordered a LEGO UCS Millennium Falcon from Amazon for only $6,000, and he planned to fly it to freedom! Shortly thereafter, however, tragedy struck: his order was cancelled for reasons as yet unknown! He was unable to secure another UCS MF, and was forced to hatch a new getaway plan that we are now familiar with. But he never forgot the Falcon; it haunted him. And Canada isn't too far from New York! Thus began his second attempt to acquire the Falcon, this time on foot! Alas, it wasn't meant to be. Third time's the charm? P.S. $6,000 would buy a nice Sleep Number bed.

EU sale status as of this morning, I may not have captured every single set and i've not include keychains and similar low price items, but hopefully it's the majority.

Just refer back to my earlier post. I won't be picking up a 10179 but if I didn't have a 7965 I'd want it, just for the OT nostalgia. Like I said earlier this is *my* MF.

Especially if you consider that MF and X-Wing are the police HQ-s of Star Wars. Their appearance can be expected just as much as the sun is coming up each morning...

Can you upload or send me some photos? My dad has some really old sets that he keeps for nostalgia purposes and he might be interested.

I remember everyone saw the initial spike and was like "Woooooooo hoooooooooo the sky's the limit on this one!" And I was like........

Sold my Anakin's & Sebulba's Podracers for $120

TOO SOON

The yellow wavy flags for mustard is genius. The upside down criss-crossed window in the jukebox speaker? Sublime. Love it.

Didn´t you know that every fairground also needs a ghost train? And which train is the most ghostly? Lone Ranger Constitution, of course!

The 7695 is an OK set IMO...as with all of the non 10179 Falcons. I really wouldn't put too much effort into this set. Sell them and put the money elsewhere.

Wow, that is outstanding. Hmm...add it to the Fairground? It could stand a Hot Dog Guy outside. I will have to seriously consider getting these instructions and making this build. I really love architecture like this, so seeing this in Lego form is awesome.

I have 2 of the 3 I had left. I'm not going to keep one for myself so I may have to list them now. But what if the new one stinks?

... can't wait for fall 2016 clearance sales !!!

Don't underestimate Angry Birds. I like them.

I have never seen that in 16 years...

I believe once the seller has communicated the difference, there is no longer a difference so SNAD wouldn't apply to the buyer questioning the difference but I could be wrong...and of course unless I'm not understanding what's happening here...

pull up the page, then click "revise your item" scroll about half way to the price, click "auction" next to "fixed price."

there is a tab next to "fixed price" for auction.

My favorite part of that show was the way he put on and took off sunglasses.

It is firmly holding at around $200 on eBay. Any leaked picture of the new MF will test this bottom very hard

In europe u can preorder it 149,- € retail price is 199,- €

Sold today for $188. I have just one left now. I've never built one so in 2 minds whether to keep or sell.

I believe a few of those AFA graded Falcons sold for around $10.000. They were Buy It Nows for $12,000.

Here is another Mixel Mech with this one made from the Wiztastics. It blows mine for this tribe out of the water. Nixel Blade Mech by Ezra Wibowo Nixel Blade Mech by Ezra Wibowo

X-Wing is to Star Wars as Batmobile is to DC Superheroes. At least this one to me says "I'm Batman" more than the Tumbler did but still yet another vehicle for the caped crusader. Also the more I see the redesigned slimmed-down cowl piece, I'm not sure I like it better than the more prominent one from before. In this shot the helmet looks like it has tiny cat ears.

The modular modification to the Haunted House is very good. The original design could fit in before being a large-scale building but the 'dollhouse' setup in a street of modularized homes made it stick out more than the fearful facade did. Here the structure goes seamlessly with the rest of them on the street without really altering what the abandoned abode is all about. If anything this is like an answer to the "What if LEGO had released the Haunted House as a modular house?" question. On one hand, I know I would like to make the same changes to my own Haunted House yet at the same time don't because of all the sets I have owned this is that perfect one I just love to have on display all year round.

I'll also take a gentleman's bet on this if there's another taker. If I can't sell mine for 10K USD (~12K CAD, fees included) in 2 years (Ebay or Amazon), I'll buy you a beer, or the other way around

No bad vibes meant with this but t I would take a gentlemans bet with you on that If in 5 years this lego set hasnt sold for 10k I will paypal you a beer (max value £5) and if it does you do the same.

No lego set will EVER reach the 10 grand mark, that is all.

While I don't believe Lego is in a bubble, I believe some sets like this one might be entering bubble territory. Lego just needs to make a few pieces that are rare but easy to make and the secondary used prices would drop. When the price disparity between used and new is large enough, most people will buy used instead of new which would drop new prices as well. Although I don't believe Lego will ever release a MF as big as the 10179, it is possible. That would most likely significantly effect prices. So for me personally, I manage my risk by trying to limit it. I would rather risk buying $4000 worth of modulars rather than 1 falcon. That's just me and my 2c

not according to the IRS nor basic accounting, the cost is still the purchase price. However, I totally understand your thought / reasoning.

Sorry, never ever saw this post....I answered above

1. People are always interested but if you're going to try an entice members of this forum, the price will have to be pretty low. Returns on older bionicles are hit and miss with only the most popular sets bringing in top dollar. 2. Yes there are now fees. The fees are 2% of the total sale + your PayPal fees. Brick Classifieds takes the fees right away so you have no "monthly invoice." 3. Yes you can restrict where you ship. 4. Possibly .. there is a feature to sync with your eBay listings if you'd like to list it in both places. 5. Kind of an open question... take good pictures, consider fees here are quite a bit lower than eBay and Amazon so price accordingly, if you're listing has some good stuff in it will attract Bionicle collectors. If you have specific questions about a specific feature of BC, I suggest posting your Qs into one of the dedicated threads or the general thread. It'll probably get more eyes on it.

Buying these for about $20 a pop at TRU ebay fire sale was a steal, even though it has been slow to move back up. It's selling for about $50 now so that's 150% above what several of us paid for. Unfortunately I may have gotten carried away and still have more than 50 of these...

You know, I recently gave a ride to a European tourist and videotaped him as we drove. He asked me the same question: "Niko, how do you keep your hair so beautiful? What conditioner are you using?" I responded: "When I choose a conditioner, I don't ask what the conditioner can do for me. I ask what I can do for the conditioner". The tourist then said "I think this is my hotel, please let me out of the car".

Lord Business???

A good general rule is to sell the sets that aren't appreciating rather than focusing on taking profits. This does not apply to QFLL situations, of course (better to have sold RI for $100 than hold 'till now and sell at $20), but HH is firmly retired and I think we've got a pretty good feel for the available inventory. It is also, as Jaisonline writes, a unique set that is not likely to be reproduced, well, ever. The new Monster CMF figures can only help. They let people flesh out their Halloween style lego displays with additional creeps, and CMF list price is so high now that even near duplicates don't really compete much with the HH crew. As an aside, Chinese culture very much frowns on depictions of graveyards, ghouls, and the undead in general. This may have the happy side effect of dissuading Chinese counterfeiting of 'monster' lego sets and figures (for what it's worth, I have not seen any for sale thus far).

I think this is a MOC, from set 3065 Olivia's Treehouse.
