Not true. Not even close.

sold another 21103 BTTF - $84.99 BIN Free shipping. Buyer is next state over. After fees and shipping, $40 profit on a $27.99 buy-in less than 1 year post EOL. time to go to $89.99.

I did stop at a few Wal-Marts on the way to Pittsburgh yesterday and I didn't see a single Raptor Escape. From what I've observed the past couple weeks, this one is fairly rare right now, as most of you have noted. My local Wal-Mart had 20 of them that I've been watching the past few weeks or so. I'm not sure why this Wal-Mart had received so many? I did bite the bullet on them this morning. I left one with a loose seal. They're still out there at a few stores.

9 Raptor Escapes yesterday from 2 local Walmarts. This makes a total of 24 to add to the stash of 15 that I bought earlier in the week.

Does anybody think that Lego paid 5 million dollars or more for the JW License and retire the sets in a few months, even the Lone Ranger sets were out for about 8 months. and that 5 million is most likely on the light side, for these sets not being around for Christmas will be a shock to me and many others.

im not looking to sell just amused by all those saying what a non ucs ugly gray ball non to scale play set not adult oriented over rated pile of bricks without a nameplate it is. Let see out of stock at 399.95 and to $578 in less than a weekl. Not bad for such a dog.

No. Where are you located?

Build this beast today. I bought it last year in a bulk lot for 60 euro. Finally got the time to build it today and guess what... it is 100% complete! That does not happen so often.

More are still arriving. 17 I.Rex, 16 T.Rex, 10 R.Rampage enrote to AZ for FBA. Looks like they may sit in their warehouse for a while as I wait and see how this theme pans out

Bought 20 of the 75918 T-Rex Tracker

A little while back Brickset posted this inventory data for the EU. We weren't sure what would happen with it, so we wanted to wait a while before posting up any page that included this info. It's been a while and they are still posting it on their site, so we are going to make it available here as well. I am working on new a new price guide template and this information will be included there as well. I will be adding the charts to it soon as well. These pages allow you to easily see the themes as a group. You will also be able to see the number of sales for the prior day and the percentage of inventory sold. http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/eu-inventory.cfm

They have to produced more IR than RE because RE is a WalMart exclusive while IR is available worldwide. Now the question is when this theme soars, which one will the grand/parents buy to the child... the $100 RE, $200 TR or the $300 IR?

These are pretty ridiculous, but the amount of $$ I would spend on GoT Lego would be ludicrous.

it (JE 75920) finally is - just broke the $65 BIN Free Shipping barrier. Next stop $75. easily $100 with nice customer feedback because they are soooo happy you sold them one by xmas if it really is done.

Looks like 75919 IRB, 75917 RR, 75918 TRT, and 75920 RE are still out of stock. 75919 went OOS at many places yesterday. I knew of 4 locations one could still get them, but now those options are gone. 75918 and 75920 also are OOS at rrp at the usual retail suspects. Interestingly, prices on amazon jumped much higher today. RE is now in the mid 70's, up from the low 60's. IR shot up into the mid 170's, and trex tracker is now close to 100. The amount of resellers has also dropped by a few. All good signs ..

People are going to be surprise by how fast this hits $1000.

Here is the latest look at the EU inventory for Jurassic World. The numbers in yellow show the amount sold yesterday and the percentage of inventory sold.

I do not know personally. I haven't done any fieldwork lately. But what I've heared they are still available in shops. In Europe people are on vacation now. People do not buy so many Lego. They buy swimming pools and other outdoor stuff. Maybe in September the run on these sets will start. Cause I cannot imagine they are not popular with kids.

I don't recall ever hearing anything like that.

I'm holding these… at least until the next film.

I'm just looking to break even. It would still beat EDB...

Honestly at this point i'm not sure any JW world set qualifies to be branded as a "Massively Hoarded Set"

I'm up to 15 or so and got 2 more stores in sight. It's up to almost $70 on Amazon. I do know from talking to Entertainment Earth my agent said that Hasbro is stopping production on many toy lines like Transformers to make room for all this Star Wars frenzy about to happen. I'm hoping Lego just don't have time to make more of these or the entire JW lineup for that matter.

Great minds think alike, also at Southcenter grand opening...

I thought you always hung around truck stops? ;)

Here is the main article.

Sailing past the dreaded cape of DualMaul. Many vessels have been sliced in two, beware all ye who brave that coastline.

Technically, no. 10188 never went Toos last year. It went 'out of stock, will ship whenever'. That status is fairly common, even with new releases, and still allows orders to be placed. The set did go for several months only available at LEGO Shop at Home, and only as a backorder. Combined with the limit drop to 2, I took this as evidence of retirement. Others did as well, but the set eventually came back. Note that PS and T1 behaved in exactly the same way last summer - fall. Since I'm currently using one stack of DS's as a TV stand and another as a packing table for sets that actually retire and get sold, I'll miss these when I finally get around to selling them. Mentally, I've been thinking of my DS's as IRA funds. Which is to say, they're untouchable until I turn 59.5, at which point even the super duper new DS ought to be long retired, and the colonists on Alpha Centauri will pay a hefty premium for antique plastic toys from the early 2000's.

I just did Wal-Mart scan on there app and went through close to 35 walmarts and found 3 red neck Wal-Mart's in Middle of nowhere and secured 7 more. They are going fast. I'm am officially broke now till payday. I am upset I passed on at least 6 IRex sets for 99$ last week. Hope they stay around.

Who said anything about that?

followed by the EOL's that appear...

ebay buy it now (BIN) free shipping. got lucky for once not going to freaking menlo park.

makes me wish even more that Lego had the license...

I would guess they don't put prices because they know they aren't suppose to be selling them before their street date. In this case they get the shipment and just throw them on the shelf and pretend it was an accident, "but we're confused, it's in the system so sure we'll sell it"

Technic 8288 crawler misb for $430 shipped.

Guys, don't shoot the messenger, I am watching this one from the sidelines and am seriously wishing you fantastic profits. I just raised what I believe to be legit concerns, you are at total liberty to dismiss them as worthless babbling. But, IF the sequel is similar & not to far off in the future, value can take a hit. That and the fact that hoarded quantities by this crowd far outweigh the mainstream market (well-off parents who want to please their children for Xmas). Enthusiasts market (i.e. people who wanted it, could afford it and didn't pick it up in last 7 years)? I seriously think emazers could see to them :p

well someone posted on reddit finding these at TRU in illinois and also canada, ontario region I tried my TRU but nothing yet

I think it really depends on how closely the new design is to 10188. If it is a close rehash with updated build techniques, updated minifigs, power functions ready but a close replica with most of the same scenes then it will have a profound effect on the resale value of 10188. If the new playset depicts all different scenes then I think there will still be a good market for 10188 as collectors will want both. I can't imagine the new star wars flagship model will be anything less than spectacular tho no matter what direction they take.

Disabled white house for now. Ordered sets by earliest first.

10 Raptor Escapes

I mostly LOL at 33.3% feedback

I think this theme is a winner regardless of a new production run or not. The most recent Dino theme, which also had 7or 8 sets did very well. It will be a short run either way and the only money that I will lose buying now is potential savings from discounting if they do restock. But just in case they don't restock...well, these will appreciate very, very well.

I still wonder how they could totally overestimate demand after the first hype wave was over. Everybody around here always talks about how TLG is taking reseller activities into consideration and all that. Well, in this case they were completely wrong and produced like 10.000+ too many. How in the world could that happen?

Great score, but that isn't a 50# tub unless there is gold in the bottom.

All your profits went to Exxon

Yes, but it wasn't 'temporarily out of stock' and then 'sold out' until this week. Anyway, everyone knows it's over-hoarded, been out too long, the figures look dated, the build techniques make duplo look sophisticated, and there's a bigger, better, cheaper DS due out any day now. So really, everyone should be loading up on Exo-Suits ('retiring soon'!) or Mixels series XXXIII.

7965 MF for $220 locally, so zero fees/shipping.

Ha! Maybe scooterlesssausage...

Well I am happy that it improved for you. They have a new caching technique in here to keep a lot of the load of the DB and web server. That is fine in theory, but it does hurt other areas of the site like the widgets on the main forum page and the widget I had at the bottom. It looks like the one that was at the bottom of all threads caused much of the delay as it wanted to update alot so you would hit it during an update and the page would not want to render until its done. This has been an on going discussion with the developers for about two months now. For now, I have just removed that bottom widget until some new update happens that might make that better for everyone.

This is terrific. There's nothing I need more than my 5-year old daughter believing private jet flights are something I am able, capable, or willing to provide.
