Thanks, Alpine. I really do have limited room to store sets and unfortunately I only have my closet to work with. I'm planning on buying another Pet Shop and maybe a Palace Cinema and then I may use the money for some other things that I need. Plus, I gave the wifey some money as well. It's the first time I've been able to do that and I wanted to show her that this Lego investing wasn't a waste of time.

Amazon Mystery Machine - $55 City: Logging truck - $58 SW: Droid Escape - $53 SW: 7913 Clone Trooper Battle Pack - $44 EBay SW: Republic Gunship - $180 Creator: Family House - $100

So I just made my first "pure" investment purchase it's 17-20 lbs. Of bulk for $143.50 shipped on eBay And from what I've seen I see the latest Harry Potter castle, hogwarts express, knight bus, Hagrids hut, freeing Dolby, possibly the smaller hogwarts castle add on, dumbledoors office, Loki's helicarrier breakout, that giant rare baseplate, possibly some clear bricks ( I don't know if they're real or fake) and whatever other mysteries lie in there . I saw a lot of minifigures and minifigure parts so I'm sure it's a winner, I can't wait to see how much money I make once everything is said and done

What a marvelous set and great build. Whoever says legosets from the 90's are boring... eat this!

too early my friend.

My yield from the 22 i found at Walmart earlier (rest are doubles, booo). Really wanted the Spectre/Banshee, but i'll get em eventually.

agreed but shipping the two together will be a challenge.

What happened to the price of this set in the US when the new version was announced? That was before pictures of the actual set were released which confirm it to be near identical.... When the new one comes out and gets down to 100USD on discount, most people are going to be looking very hard at those satellite dishes to justify paying 2.5 times more! Of course, hoarding 7965 till the new one retires as well or sells out at Xmas is another option but is it really going to ever be a 300/350 USD set? I´d rather be clearing the shelves of the new one before the Xmas rush.....

Believe it or not: LEGO The Lone Ranger Constitution Train Chase (79111) I even made some money! Very small money but honestly I'm happy that I sold it without losing money.

Just got the TRU pre-order and the box is HUUUGE (like Trump says). If the MSRP really is $49.99, its a steal. Time for some QFLL action.

Neat!

I sold two Grand Emporiums for $290 cash each via CL. My last two. Goodbye my friends, you have done me well.

I took a huge risk and bought a LOT of these at the end of last year thinking there was a good chance they would be gone in January 2015. Unfortunately it didn't happen so I've been holding them a while, but glad to see it is finally going up. Makes me feel a little better for all the room they take up!!!

More Raptors, and stickers don't forget those...

It was good times. Even waiting in line, chummed it up with a guy from brickset forums and talked jurassic world and millenium falcon. Was also worth watching 2 adult couples maneuvering thru store in the most obvious way, along with tons of looks, nods, and whispering while trying to get more of the lego store openings than allowed. All that was missing to make it any more obvious would have been some camo face paint, walkie talkies and a t shirt with reseller printed on it. If they are reading this, next time remember to calm down and smile and act like you are in a toy store. Its supposed to be fun isnt it:)

I do. Most won't care. Disney has a huge fan base with about 95% crossover with Star Wars fans. It will only help sales to have their marketing behind it. I think most are happy Disney is adding movies, toys, other media and theme parks. All Star Wars investors should be pleased that the franchise is only growing in popularity. Disney was the ideal buyer for fans and I couldn't be happier. They are a great company. This is set should do fine as now they can make more Millenium Falcons without it being the exact same version. Prices certainly won't be going down.

Is it a cat in a bag? Miraculously only two are damaged.

13 Joker bumper cars. TRU I frequent had maybe 30 left in stock. after points and gc discounts it works out to just under $3 each. this store will not let you use gc and TRUTH anymore so best deal I could get.

Too early for you, but the right time for him. Too early for you, but the right time for him.

Got here at 930 and out the door with a temple of airjitzu and retail store by 1040. Super cool to get retail store and attend a grand opening. Got a pic with son in store so in 6 years when he is forced, i mean wants to apply to work there, maybe the pic will help grease the wheels to my personal goldmine....i mean a great part time job for him:)

Sold my last 3368 Space Centre for 175 euro excl. shipping. Sorry to see the last one go. One of my biggest success sets in my short reseller career so far.

The sweet spot to sell pricewise would appeart o have been April/May, the new one is basically a 2015 Model Year iteration and 8 out of 10 people would not know the difference - the box art is probably the biggest change along with the minifigs. Reminds me a bit of a certain toy shop set...... The new one is going to take the bulk of sales and only completists are going to be after the old one. The correction in prices already happened so now it is probably going to stagnate around the 200 mark or have very gentle increase.

I think the time to dump was a few months ago right before/just after the episode 7 set list was leaked. At this point if I still had any I would probably hold long term to see how it compares to the new set and for the OT die hards in the future. Unless you need the money, of course.

The Admins and Mods on Eurobricks should lock that thread for stupidity. They are basically promoting LEGO counterfeits. Dopes.

Have you ever thought about rebuilding old sets using new techniques? If so then perhaps you should check out experienced MOCer L@go's gallery showcasing fresh spins on classic sets.

Hi all! I went to the thrift store the other day and scored two bags of lego sets for my kids (some instructions included!) for $15. There was a full Star Wars set (Clone Trooper Battle Pack, 7913), a mixed up Lego Friends set (HELP!), a Ninjago set (Cole's Earth Driller, 70502), and a Chima set (Sir Fangar's Ice Fortress, 70147). I'm a little torn on what to do with them. I sorted them as best I could, but I was wondering - what do you normally do with partial sets? The Star Wars set and Chima set are the only ones that had the minifigures included, so I was wondering if I should try and complete the Chima set, or just give them to the boys for their 'extras'/'free build' box. The sets aren't terribly long retired that I can't order replacement pieces, but they're both larger sets so sorting through piece by piece would be tedious. What do others do when you find partials? Complete them, part them out, or ...?

I will check out the store on Monday, our corporate office is right across the street. Now, I will come up with any excuse to go down there and kill some time after work, hate the five o'clock commute in CLT.

I thought Lego was trying to reduce box size. Jeez.

Nice. Trip well worth it.

Exactly... build it or stash it away till the new one has retired. That is what I do with my last one.

Bulk purge continues. Sold about 5 lbs of Star Wars Lego from sets 4504 and 6210. No figures or instructions included for $66 + shipping. The mountain is slowly shrinking.

Been trying to put this together from my own bulk lot. Need to bricklink some stuff though, jealous of your blue and yellow dome pieces there... Also short 1 chain link for the conveyor belt in the back. It's a fun build Nice one.

it was under review the other day on Amazon .. Must be a sign

I hear ya, unless the UCS Tie Fighter starts to disappear.

I love it when Lego continues to use the same size boxes for new releases. Thank you Lego for not making me add another size to the mix!

I don't have one but I am a fan. Very steampunkesque.

30% profit isn't bad. Multiply that by 10+ and now you're talking.

Everybody who is so concerned already about this ONE reissue of a rather unimportant set, that he cannot sleep at night anymore should just quit investing. This might be the best solution for him and especially for all other investors. Less competition = good. Otherwise one could just wait and see what happens next (IF something happens next at all). As of now there has not been an announcement nor a rumour of a possible reissue of any "grail" set. IF a reissue of a major investment object should happen some time, then you will see even better why it is important to diversify. Since Lego cannot reissue every set you invested in at one time, you will always have a certain amount of time to sell - and in the end you'll still have a low risk of losing any money anytime overall.
