Received a Raptor Escape from Wal Mart today from an order placed last week and it had a seal code of 09R5, so they're still shipping older stock.

Haven't we all?

August marks two years for the DC. Time for this ship to sink.

Personally, I like Jangbricks' reviews better as I think his reviews are more technical, comprehensive, and better articulated.

Lately Taj Mahal $1400 Cafe Corner $1000 Green Grocer $800 Town Hall $440 All used with boxes and Instructions 2 x lonely mountain for $230

Red five sold out at LEGO Shop at Home

2x Creative Tower 10664 for $175 together

I was doing a little searching around for some modular size Hall of Justice instructions and I stumbled upon this: Now my son wants me to build it.

The rough and "just out of bed" look is part of the appeal in my eyes. After all, we are talking about LEGO sets. No need to be formal or stuffy. It's all good fun.

I would prefer this guy: ...almost

Finished the PC today. Used the custom Star Wars movie posters. Turned out nice.

So... A: somebody screwed up trying to fix the exclusive tag. B: they forgot to add the check back soon note. C: I should have bought that one at the lego store yesterday...

Hah! Modulars really don't get played with in our house, just because they are up on my desk.(though I'm about out of space with the whole series up there) I have no problem swooshing a ship or driving a little car around the town when it's set up. Sets like Olivia's House are much more conducive to play with the back open.

Riiiiiight. I bet most here play with the "kids lego" when they go to bed. Swooshing and swishing... heh.

The Brick Show guys are 'your average joes' (that also are a couple of fathers if I am not mistaken) who review LEGO and for that I enjoy them over another reviewer whom would come across as a paid infomercial or some salesman. The 'growl' is a signature of their channel and overall attitude. If I had anything to complain over it would be the long lengths in some of their video segments which can go on for a while. For myself I tend to watch JANGBRiCKS because his reviews seem more to the point (aka short), he has pointed out some pieces of interest (rarely used color or part type), and his calm tone works well. Rarely have I watched any of his clips where he said anything was terrible really. Sometimes he makes suggestions that may have worked better but then reiterates he can see why they (the LEGO designers) did what they had. There really isn't a 'one is better than the other' speech here. It all is merely a matter of personal preference and everyone has theirs.

looks decent enough with the nod to mcquarrie and the included jawa. wish a tuskin radier / sandperson was included though. we didn't need a stinkin ewok. h

These models are quite good I think. Santa Maria della Salute, Venice Frauenkirche Dresden

If folk would raise the prices faster on eBay, it would do better even more - but the one off resellers are keeping the appreciation down to a crawl. Overall prices still slowly rising.

Buy box or not, it sells pretty darn well at Amazon and eBay. We're still in the slow season. Winter is coming.

SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! Captain Hook by Markus Rollbühler

There's no need everybody in the world looks like a Wall Street banker. Interesting to have to point that out in a nerd forum...

Expected ship date of Aug 30 for LEGO Shop at Home US. In for 1

Trying to upload pics

I am going Hunting for more later sold 2 sets so far and basically paid for my 29 packs I still have missing a few for 3rd and 4th set i shared at my local store with a mom that was a collector I guess

No offense, but this thread is in serious need of housekeeping. It used to be for posting of Lego official retirement announcements, that was it. If this thread had new content, you could bet you'd be reading about retired sets. Yes, my post needs removed, too. Perhaps a mod can clean this thing up. We have many other threads to discuss speculation, markets, etc. I've actually been quite busy, lately, and haven't had nearly as much time to read and contribute to BP. But, I do check a few threads, including this one, just to track my portfolio and stay on top of market developments. Please keep this one on topic.

Another official announcement during D23. Here we go... the first poster

Finally, I can participate in this thread and not just watch from the sidelines. Made my first eBay sale today! A vintage era 6247 Bounty Boat for $28.50 CAD shipped. Original buy-in $0, childhood toy. Pretty stoked, haha.

We've all been saying there are tons of better ideas than a remake of the X-Wing. So let's throw them out here, maybe somebody will pay attention. Numbers 1/1A on my list is an AT-AT and a Slave I.

I thought this would be a fun topic to start. Mods, if you feel differently then please feel free to delete it. We have all heard or been a part of the same story. You spent a bunch of money on some "toys", with the intention of reselling them in the future for more than what you paid for them. Meanwhile, your spouse was ready to have you committed to the looney bin, until you bought them this with some of your profits. I'll start... We have had a pool since we bought our home twelve years ago. Wisconsin winters can be a bit harsh, and this past winter Mother Nature decided that it was time for our old pool to go. She had her way with it, and reduced it to a pile of scrap. Our kids, who are nine and eight, were pretty upset about it, and my wife didn't feel like dipping into savings to buy a new one, so the Lego fund came to the rescue. We just had it installed three weeks ago, fully funded from Lego profit. Now my wife doesn't give me the old fish eye when she comes home and finds several packages on the doorstep. Does anyone else have any fun stories to share?

I wish I could ship it to you to sort[emoji29]

I'm not so sure it's overstocked by resellers. Many ignored until late and it wasn't a popular investment at the beginning. Heck, Darin hasn't even started buying yet and he'll get 50 before it's all said and done.

Lots of 22r5 shipped also

Box redesign is expensive, whether you believe it or not. It is a change in the production chain and has to be planned for months in advance. LEGO would not do such an investment if it would retire any time soon. It is a fairly good seller in its category.

This is getting really awkward...

It's happened to some of us in the past, rather inconsistently.

I like these guys. I'm curious how much of a money maker the videos are. They seem to have grown their inventory since the early days.

I kind of like it. That mini at-at is really cool.

The Disney logo on the top right corner on top of the red bow. If that is not an expertly placed subliminal message, I do not know what is.

All ebay: Mystery Machine $37.99 + shipping Delorean $74.99 shipped Delorean $84.99 shipped Mystery Machine $39.99 + shipping Lego Retail Store Opening $174.99 shipped Seattle Store Opening Minifigs $95.49 shipped Greedo from 75052 $5.49 + shipping Smaug from 79018 $65.99 + shipping

I think $100 this Christmas is a little ambitious, I think next year is more probable for sure.

Batman three set lot of steam roller, batwing, and funhouse for $165 shipped. New & sealed. Series 14 complete set for $125 shipped. Opened for verification. Both sales on eBay.

Ship has sailed on this set. You should look towards investing your money in other sets that are currently available.

Edit: arg the site ate the multi-quote. ​Now this is strange. On March 30th 2015 a new bricklink store opened up with the owner being canonikon. That store has .... drumroll please .... 200 RI for sale. On 4/3 the canonikon on this site says he has 5, and on the same day s/he professed these were a long hold. I find it strange s/he bought 195 of a retired set since then, assuming there is only 1 canonikon in the world. Twisted by the Dark Side, young Lego Walker has become. This was brought to my attention by another member, I can't take credit for the discovery.

A UCS Sandcrawler wouldn't be pulling any teeth. :)
