I really hope Lego makes this droid.

Woke up at 3:00am and checked my phone (Don't judge me lol). Noticed I had sold another Wall-E and went back to bed. Finished packing the one set and when I was about to print the label noticed the buyer (From Japan, Global Shipping Program) had actually bought 3 of them. Now that was a nice way to start the morning.

Someone should add a "Swooshability" rating to the set review categories. Would this score better or worse than Green Grocer?

My WM had 4 REs on the shelf this morning along with stock of all JW sets in groups of 4. Looks like they've only been bringing them out in small batches so they don't get gobbled up. Almost like they are trying to keep life support on the stock they have... RE codes were still 22R5

He's just saying a 400 dollar haunted house wont appreciate as much as a death star. I am not sure i agree that the death star will out perform the haunted house. Assuming equal price points. Death star has the brand going for it. Haunted house has scarcity. I think scarcity is going to win out. I wanted to snag some haunted houses before it hits 500+ because i see it at 1000 in 2 years. Will the Death star even retire before then?

The "brick" confirmed that Ill be asleep at 12:01.

For 10188, I consider swooshing "silently and ominously moving it around the house until your little brother is in range." Pew, pew!!

Asking the important questions...will the Hellicarrier fly?

I hope it's not and that it's OT related. I really want to see a good Hoth set as all the bases to this point have been very underwhelming. Direct to Consumer

Take with a grain of salt, but I just got off phone with LEGO CS asking if Series 14 minifigures is really done (e.g. no more from shop at home) and the rep told me that they should be back in stock within 2 weeks. Played the part of the concerned father of little Timmy, worried he wouldn't get his zombie cheerleader without his father having to step foot in a target or walmart and that I preferred to buy them from shop at home with VIP.

I thought I would resurrect this thread since its been a year since this debacle took place. I'm happy to report that I'm back on eBay and sales are picking up! I want to thank everyone in this thread for their advice, reassurance, and support. It turns out the best advice was just to lay low for a while and use my original account when the time felt right. I started selling on eBay in May. The summer was slow but things started to really pick up towards the end of August. So far I've sold a SSD, a Lone Ranger polybag, and a few sets in between. It's been fun a ride so far. Thanks again to everyone on Brickpicker. I would have been lost without your advice and input. What a great community we have here. I am grateful to be a part of it.

I SOLD A CHIMA FIREBIKE ON AMAZON!!!!!!!!!!! One penny plus 4.99 shipping. I believe it's the most one has ever sold for.

There is no way I would buy a Haunted House for $400 now, and returning a Death Star to get one to me is a big mistake. The Death Star will rise fast when it retires in a few months or so, just look of all the crap I heard when I kept saying get SSD,HH, etc. Now with 46 SSD and 62 HH and I do have 56 DS most thought I was crazy.

Like others have said, I don't recall seeing Sold Out for something so new rather than (Temp) Out of Stock. This series is more seasonal than the rest, but 2 days would be crazy to be gone already. With all this talk, the fear suckered me into another Minfiguresplus order. I'm sure I'm not alone.

That's good to see. Probably going to be packaging this with Haunted Houses next month.

A New Hope was based on just about every piece of worldwide heroic mythology (Lucas was a fan of Joseph Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces), so why not?

Another Vampyre Castle - $150

Everybody's been saying how much they love this entire series.. Granted it's a good series, but the gargoyle is a cheep cop-out imho. They should've given him an accessory... They could've been more imaginative than throwing in another Frankenstein monster again, and the (modestly altered) zombie.

Sold out is definitely the wrong phrase for something that they plan to restock. It sounds permanent. Poor grammar. Shame on you Lego [emoji88]

If we could've logged in, maybe they'd have sold out sooner...

Sold Out at LEGO Shop at Home

Bought 10 Piggy coin banks for £9.50 each.

Well, I've seen both. A few posts above shows the link to the stormtrooper minifig. So....I don't know. Honestly, it might be different at different TRU stores. I am an idiot. I thought that picture of the stormtrooper was a minifig bag....but I see it's just a brick. Well, whatever. That's kind of lame. Not gonna cancel my plans just because of that, though. It's still a nice bit of memorabilia.

I was able to purchase 6 SW Advent Calendars from my local Toys R Us. with the 15% off coupon and TRUTH 10%. Total $35 each OTD with taxes in Houston.

Might need a swooshability by age range category... My youngest once swooshed 10188 and it didn't go so well. I could probably do better...

Please check this out and support it if you like it. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/115875 I made it.

Yeah, that's what NDAs and digital signing/encryption are for. We really don't know what they saw and what was brought to them, but to not have real photos must have been a bummer. Also it says initial design sketches which are probably a lot more accurate than the concept art that was released/leaked. As usual this stuff will probably look better built that in a photo, but it just seems to be a really poor decision. What else has LEGO been working on for future waves that they've had to do from photos and sketches? Might make all those fab OT sets that much more desirable to the nit picky collector!

No one could imagine TLG retiring HH before Halloween or R2D2 before EP7, but both happened.

Over the last week or so, moving more used sets from big bulk lot 7885 Robin's Scuba Jet - $70 7029 Skeleton Ship Attack - $115 Aqua Raiders Lot(4 sets) - $110 City Fire Lot(3 sets) - $120 City Construction Lot (2 sets) -$70

Not a bot! My 3rd post, with one awaiting approval in my intro thread.

unless there is a shortage this holiday season, any and all Wall-E bought should be designated to the back of the storage to be seen at a later date in the future ...

Its such a joke. Got to wonder why not build up inventory before making it available for a longer duration.

Why?

Why would you buy a HH for $400 if you're sitting on 62 already...?

“Believe none of what you hear, and only half of what you see.”

I shouldn't have gone to the Lego store today...$182 at the current exchange rate. All minty fresh! Trackable inventory here now down to 10 sets and many of them are badly damaged from idiotic freight handlers.

A wall of Wall-E, got pictures?

My Nan returned hers after it came back in stock, I told her she was a fool!

Got a case… but, only had 2 werewolves in it, and instead there were 5 gargoyles. Regardless, i've managed to land 5 complete sets with the addition of this case, as I also found these early at a Target when some of their employees disregarded the "out on september 1st only" stickers… Can almost make a sixth complete set, if I get a few figs.

On the flip side, lots of people actually WANT those Pet Shops and Red Fives, whereas many don't care about an ultra agents set and never will.

So I received a parcel from London Drugs today (I'd say they're like Walgreens for all our US friends... not sure about elsewhere... but they sell a little of everything). They're having a good sale on some LEGO right now but many BP members have been receiving them in bags and we all know how that often turns out. I received a single TREX tracker in black sticky wrap, taped up, in suprisingly good but the other order arrived like this. (this is staged, sort of, I put it back together after pic 2). Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Picture 4 (sorry, it's blurry) To top it all off, on this order I had forgotten to use their special LEGOSAVE10 code and emailed customer service about my order. They refunded the $10 with a pleasant reply. Then my parcel arrives as pictured...

I read this thread so I can get annoyed by how much people spend on Amazon for items I sell for much cheaper on eBay
