Best tru purchase I have ever made! Close tie with the mf I found at target yesterday, but it cost considerably more.

Interesting day today. Started out at shopko and picked up 4 friends light house sets for $20.31 each after tax by using the clearance price, additional 10% off clearance sale, and $10 off $50 coupon. This set is unique, unlike all of the cafes and pet themed sets from this line, which is why I bought them. Part of me said "what little girl is going to want to play with a light house?" but at over 50% off I couldn't pass. If nothing else I'll pair them with a dolphin cruiser and sell as a combo. Then I scored a local Craig's deal. All new and sealed 4867 Hogwarts, a 4738 hagrid's hut, a 4714 gringotts bank, and a 3222 helicopter and limousine for $200. Should easily double if not a little more on these. Also picked up a few more mystery machines at retail. It was a good day.

Whew! Something else to distract folks while the Slave 1 is still ripe for the pickin'.

Nothing says "wishing you the best on your birthday" like a set in a beat up box from Ross

Just enough time for me to move the rest of my 250+, then reload if they do indeed come back

It is typical of the investment game... zero patience. Not everything sky rockets like Town Hall and Haunted House. The UCS Imperial Shuttle didn't do a hell of a lot for awhile and now is taking off. My AAs are put aside and being forgotten about as I move on to the next thing.

Sold a new/sealed 7939 cargo train for $200 cash. Local Craig's deal. Buy in was $125.

Saw TB with new box (with new Creator Expert logo) today at the LEGO store. Guess it's not done...

Just back from the San Antonio LEGO store all Scooby Doo sets gone with the exception of about 5-7 Mystery Mansion sets. This is despite the fact that they have this built as one of their feature sets. In my opinion, this is the only set in the line where I feel like I'm getting some value for my money. It looks magnificent on display. I almost impulse purchased one but I don't have any room in my luggage.

Time moves faster in the F5 universe.

I don't know how much this will end up helping the set to appreciate, but I do think this set fits in nicely with Jokerland. This set could easily be another "attraction" in that theme park. While I haven't seen the two sets built next to each other, I'm guessing the scales of these two sets are equivalent.

I sold another today. That's 4 in the past couple of weeks when I couldn't sell one for months. €97 plus shipping.

Just set the box on fire and have the kids blow it out. They had piles of them at Legoland, so I'm sure he partook.

I have no clue about its retirement. But finding out if it's selling well is not rocket science (any more). These sales numbers (of a Batman set in EU) with a limit of one compared to other 100+ $/€ sets - what further evidence does anyone need?

Does anyone else feel like this thing has been retiring since it was released...?

Now this set is doing very well. Happy I bought them as many as I could at 40% below RRP.

Wouldnt it seem a bit off to have the tumbler on the shelves featuring bale and ledger as figures when the movie running then is completely different regarding the vehicle as well as the characters? The tumbler is no generic-licensed Batman set, but dedicated to the TDK trilogy. Draw your own conclusions from that.

Do you think Lego would spend millions on License Fees, plus millions for the molds to make these sets just to have them out for a few months. They have struck gold with this series so don't be surprised if the sets go into 2016.

my regular walmart haunt restocked all JW sets except for RE and Trex. i thought my TRU had stopped stocking JW lego until i accidentally strolled by the JW section no where near the lego section but in the merchandise section for the JW action figures and other JW merchandise. they were all there. long term this theme is a winner. for now i'm only hoarding the 2 raptor sets (RR+RE) which were the hardest to find near me and also the cheapest to ship. might make a nice $180-200 combo this xmas. still i'm thinking these raptor sets if they aren't back will just keep going up to stupid money land. and i want to still have RE double digits when we get to stupid money land. i'm hoarding cash for the inevitable transient appearance of the elusive Santa's workshop.

I picked mine up in December 2013 for $10 each. It's a great little set.

You guys thinking of selling your Batman Ayslums will be sorry, don't worry they will be $400 and up, so don't Crack you will make good money on them. Ed

A little MOC to inspire you to display this series. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=79162

I have no idea where this would go, so feel free to move (or remove). From another site... Quote Seasonal set news! Holiday vignettes (like the Valentine's and Easter sets) Halloween: Kid trick or treating, dressed as a witch, there's a stoop and a front door with a skeleton answering it. Thanksgiving: Restaurant scene - chef wheeling out a full turkey on a cart, pie underneath it, there's a table with a woman sitting at it ready to be served. Christmas 1: Kids building a snowman outside a snowy front porch Christmas 2: "Santa's Visit" fireplace, tree, presents 2015 Holiday Promo sets First is a train, looks like a Christmas version of the Emerald Express. Second is a gingerbread house. Apparently looks amazing.

It is a nice looking set. But I still cannot see how to display the set and play with it. Maybe take it in the bath tub?

It's a great set that's just raking in the cash. I have 30 left and was considering keeping them for another year or two, but I'm already doubling my money and thinking about selling them now to fund more T1 Campers

They will definitely catch up, they're #1 in the industry for a reason.

Go to the VIP section of S@H and there should be a tab for special offers.

If we're lucky.

I could have easily sold a lot of mine at $115 but decided to just wait patiently at the next price point

i like the chart you provided. we just don't know if TLG thinks the set is a financial success or not based on that info. the set might look like a good seller to us but in reality, maybe TLG had higher sales expectation. thus, i don't think we can judge whether a set is selling well because we don't have the original 76023 expectations to compare to actual sale #s.

Saturday, August 8th - 75040 General Greivous Wheel Bike has moved to Sold Out.. Retirement is near.

I listed mine on eBay US for a little above the going rate, but have still seen a lot of action (watchers, views). You can't underestimate the power of those big jet engines--especially without another Lego airport in sight.

I suppose so. But then this set only came out 2 years after the last Dark Knight movie. It's hard to know what Lego's thinking might be with this. Also, I know it's not quite the same thing, but they're still releasing OT SW sets along with new ones, I guess because they sell well. I think with the Tumbler it will just come down to how profitable it is to keep it going rather than how it aligns with current movies.

Yeah I agree. I think a lot of consumers (and maybe investors too) have been putting this set on the long finger. It wouldn't surprise me to see it go. I still think it will do well as it's just a great set. I just hope we don't see those exclusive tires pop up in another set at some stage.

So....much....pink.... Castle Charlotte

Picked up two Farnsworth houses at $52 each

I drop them off at a UPS Store or Office Depot, etc. We're never home during the day and I don't like leaving the packages outside. It's not required that you have them picked up.

I will be buying the Ford Mustang GT the first day it's available, and hopefully MOC'ing a couple of different color versions too. I'll probably pull the trigger on the F-150 too, depending on how good it looks.

They did with the Lone Ranger Lego had ordered a shortened production run (I mentioned this earlier on in one of the JW threads that I had heard that it would be a limited run from retailers) but I think they were hedging their bets. The movie's massive success as well as the interest in dinos once again has shifted their thinking into pushing through another production run. Indominus aside, are the other dinos new moulds or same as last Dino run just with different printing?

In my retail experience the plano grams were likely set over a month ago, they come from corporate. They stores may adjust if no more sets come in, but often the major resets are not even done by store employees but by traveling employees or contractors who just follow what is on the paper. LEGO and most stores do not really care about empty shelves in the Toy section right now. Its back to school time, toy sales are slow. As for JW, well I assume it will be back. I also assume LEGO is pushing full production capacity into the force awakens right now. Thus JW, Scooby, and other new sets may be scarce until October or November. My prediciton is we will see a major restock of these around October. By that time the SW shelves will be bare. Then come November a major SW restock will hit. So the real question is what stock will hit in December, more SW? or will smaller lines get heavy restocks. There is almost no chance LEGO can keep everything on the shelves through December, and its likely they will push harder on SW than on JW and Scooby. But like always quick flipping is a risky business. JW may come back and by then the kids may not care. the resellers may flood the market and buyers will be too bussy with SW to notice.

My Endor Trooper packs have been selling for $30 on Amazon, so I'm still a believer. I usually pick these up whenever I can get them $5-$7, so if you can sell for $17-$25, they are a good winner. I usually bundle 2 together for $35-$40 to lessen the hassle.

I like the combination of the lighting and the paint on the wall. It gave it a more haunted feeling! Since I missed the Creator lighthouse, maybe I should get this one too!

Only display technics and large sets...

This was from the tub I bought last weekend. Took forever to find all the pieces in the tub but I finally finished it tonight. It was worth it, much cooler than I expected. I ordered a manual off bricklink to make it easier to sell but I kind of want to keep it now

Another build, it was great!

Terrible set - STAY AWAY - nothing to see here. move along. move along.

Got some new parts to build myself another minifigure display shelf. Will have to do some re-arranging tonight and put up all the ones I have in random other spots.
