24 Exo Suits at $22

Most of the ones that sold during the run up were to each other - Remember, so many seemed certain (during the hype) they were going to sell them for $1,000 at Christmas. This was not a popular set - and now (after the dip in price) some sellers are worried, and looking to get out. Until the actual end users buy them, things could be difficult. Overall, the market is absolutely flooded with sellers. I periodically re-visit my stash of unlisted aging sets (to check if they are reaching their price points). More than ever, it seems that many of the prices are going nowhere. As I am considering changing some of my own rules, others are certainly doing the same. Stagnant prices, more supply, other sellers dumping supply - it isn't good.

Turned up this morning. Listed as 3kg Of Lego, Star Wars Theme, With Some Figures. £50. Took a gamble on the Sand Green. Dusty but otherwise good condition, haven’t inventoried him yet, but looks promising.

Brides of Dracula by teruel211

Tonight a picked up a used complete w/ boxes lot with 10225 - UCS R2-D2, 9493 - X-Wing, & 9492 - Tie Fighter for $380 shipped on EBay. Looks like a real nice lot and well kept by a collector. This way I won't be torn about opening my personal copies and I can offload them and cover most of the cost with profit.

Imperial Hotel and White House will be HOT!

I quick flipped a winter village market that I got for $78 on eBay a couple days back to a regular buyer of mine for $125 lol

No. We hope they retire 10188 & not replace it...

Why? So they can sell a new toy. Why did they replace Darth Maul' infiltrator a year later? Same reason.

You can buy from me--always a shipping box, 90% of the time a brand new box, appropriate packing, and a handwritten "thank you." We don't all suck, but the one's who do make the rest of us look really good.

I've been selling/flipping in some form since the mid 90's and have seen many "hot" products come and go. Either adapt with the changes or get out. There is no third direction. Anyone who thinks otherwise is only fooling themselves. Be it tulip bulbs, beanie babies, baseball cards, gold/silver, real estate...Lego is no different.

treasure is still everywhere, you need only get your head out of the past and look.

Maybe because in the U.S. they get them for 50% off with a coupon that they use to double the value of another coupon which decreases the price of ALL purchases while they can additionally add their bonus points and membership special deals and if the box has got a bruise they get it for free or sue the seller. And in most parts of Europe on the other hand we can be happy for double VIP points and a promominifig (if we get the cool one... obviously UK gets a lot of great deals so I'm not sure if I want to count you to Europe anymore when it comes to LEGO ^.^...) also I've never heard of anything like comic-con where they have awesome minifigs sometimes (always?) (too much frustration after I've been waiting for weeks for the 3 for 2 deal in the netherlands...and still nothing! :-( ) Would also be glad to see somebody post a pic ;-) I don't expect too much of the new box art though since I never really have been that much into the box art...

Lucky you are, hate you I do. ;)

Hey Everyone, I will be starting a live stream in about 40 mins. I will be building the 6973 - Deep Freeze Defender from the Ice Planet theme. Come on over and hang out. twitch.tv/silburned

I think I laughed a little too loudly at that. But I honestly think $22 Exos are good.

I owe you a Coke lol

Exactly. Aside from resellers who would be pissed, collectors and kids would go wild and throw money at a new death star. Look at people going crazy over the new MF......which is essentially that same as the last one.

We all also thought there was no way they would retire R2 before the new movie came out......but they did. I don't think Lego doesn't care what people think, especially resellers.

Remember that Lego dropped the Shell license, apparently because someone told them Shell was an oil company. It's not hard to imagine Lego dropping the VW license in light of the incredibly deliberate and widespread fraud the corporation has been perpetrating. We are talking about pollutant levels under actual driving conditions that are 40-50 x the legal limit, concealed by software with no purpose other than fraud.

LOL @ "extended" as opposed to "misprinted"

It was a J.O.K.E. but it is confirmed they are redoing Burj Khalifa at slightly bigger scale so anything can happen regarding the other sets.

^ I find that statement hard to believe . The fact that a company will keep producing a set indefinitely based on resellers' buying habits is a far fetched idea IMO .

^ this. Lego isn't stupid. If you continue to buy the DS, they will continue to make them. Stop buying; reduce their profit margin because of idle merchandise and, only then, will they stop and go to another line that is more profitable. You DS horders make it to easy for them

Being pissed off sarcastic that we don't have more opportunities here in Germany and sometimes when I read "what you bought at full price? If you don't buy for at least 50% off it's no deal!" and how people do it with all these crazy coupons and bonus points etc. (even for bigger sets that we can't get much better than 10% off) then I'm not so sure about the joking part anymore... but I think it is obvious enough that I might have exaggerated just a little bit ;-)

So, to summarize, the market for new Unimogs at $300 are people that: - Are collectors / completionists (still want 8110 regardless of 42043), and - Don't mind the look of the Unimog, and - Have money, and - Are lazy / insane Small market, I think.

God no, that's .co.uk, only you guys could get excited by that kind of sale

Well it would appear that LEGO Dimensions is planned for at least three years. Also all the booster/character/extra/whatever packs are not required to earn all in-game medals (100% achievements). You just need the basic starter pack to, well, get started.

If it make you feel any better, my kids are 7 and 3, and don't do that anymore. Oh, sorry. That just makes me feel better.

We service VWs everyday and they are way overrated. Sorry to any fans out there. German cars are generally overrated IMO. I've had my share of BMWs and Mercedes and they are pricey and unreliable.

The old UCS sets are not a problem for LEGO. Their values help justify current new prices. That being said, the true problem that LEGO has is with resellers flipping in production sets. Retired sets are not their focus. Making money is and remaking old classics is an easy way to make money.

as long as you have this guy too, you can be a coin collector

Hmmm.. 1 day overlap with both promotions where many people will purchase a ton of sets (likely hitting purchasing limits) in separate transactions... /insert Admiral Ackbar

Did you read the poll @ the start of the thread?

Based upon the board game from long ago, here is Ghost Castle. Also be sure to watch the video for a better overall view.

Finished the last of The Force Awakens sets with the Snowspeeder set. Of all the sets this looked the least appealing to me but it's much bigger and better looking in person and I really really like it. I still don't get the functionality of an opening top vehicle in the snow though. If I had to rate the sets in order it would be: 1. Poe's X-Wing (a surprise to me since I wasn't originally planning to get this set) the cockpit piece and color scheme is amazing. 2. Millennium Falcon - with the figures being a part of my vote for it here 3. Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle - even though the wings are not at the right angle it is a fairly easy mod to correct and of all the sets this one felt like a UCS set and a fun build. 4. Snowspeeder - like the way it looks like a hovering boat with giant engines, snow trooper is great 5. Rey's Speeder - love the colors, fun little build 6. Tie Fighter - the new printed pieces in the dark red are great pieces 7. First Order Transporter - I was so disappointed by this set. I wanted to love it, it was one of the first that I purchased but it just doesn't work for me. Disappointed but the figure selection is pretty good.

Since some newer members or people who have missed out on some older sets don't grasp the ramifications of this set. Instead thinking, yes, I welcome a 10179 (MF), 10181 (ET), 10189 (TAJ) or 10196 (GC) 'cause I don't have one. There's absolutely nothing wrong in wanting a second chance to purchase them. Absolutely! But think for a minute what if Lego were to release a new GE or HH, TH or BTTF (or any other set that you have invested in) in a couple of years? If you think it doesn't or won't affect you, I think you're kidding yourself. Do you think the buyers of the sets you've decided to bank on or at the very least simply purchase & build will want to pay top dollar later for that set? I think you're sadly mistaken. Every buyer will have in the back of their mind "I'll just wait for the re-release." This release devalues every other set whether you think so or not. I'm not saying don't buy it. People will buy it. I will not be buying it.

The Sandcrawler remake is fine. It's a much improved version over the old set. I expect LEGO to produce quality products like that. The Red 5 wasn't needed because the 7191 was an iconic set, but I could live with it. The Toy Shop is laziness in my opinion, or an experiment. As I have stated before, LEGO needs to be careful here. Scaring off the collectors and resellers with exact duplicates will damage the secondary market, which will in turn damage the primary market. Do you really think it's a coincidence that The LEGO Group's profits started increasing at the same time eBay's growth was exploding? When people realized a LEGO set was a valuable collectible, the company's profits skyrocketed. It might take some time, but corporate profits will be hurt if LEGO continues down this path.

I do not want to throw oil on the fire here. But my guess and hunch is the following: All Star Wars sets without the Disney Logo will have either a new box design or will retire by the end of the year once the movie is out. That also would explain the many OOS and small restocks we see every time. They are stalling till December. Again... this is just a hunch/guess/gamble from me. No proof. Just my common sense. You can thank or burn me later.

Just finished my third modular and second via bricklink. Spent a hair over $400 on it. Could have been cheaper but I stayed pretty true to the original except for the third floor windows. The front door, dark blue posts next to the doors, blue shirt minifig, and skis over the door were the priciest. I did end up with some extra doors so I can sell them to get it under $400... or do another one...

I finished a 75054 AT-AT yesterday. I've wanted an AT-AT since I was a kid ogling the Sears Christmas catalog. I watched other Lego iterations come and go, but this fulfilled a life-long quest for me. Now it's going to accompany me to my office, sit on a filing cabinet, and get hijacked by pirate zombies.

my son and i completed Arkham Asylum Breakout yesterday. That building will def be part of my Halloween theme! just nee to make the gate longer.
