Besides having tons of Lego, I have a Monster Prop, Mask, etc Collection. Now these are big buck stuff, take the Heath Ledger Joker and Captain Spaulding, both only 5 made both resin, $2500 Each, Ed https://www.facebook.com/ed.mazerski/photos_all

Kai's Fire Mech for $28 FBA. $8 buy in. This falls in the category of "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink." I have a few of these I bought cheaply online and have held less than a year. After fees, etc., I'm taking home more than double my cost. Most people will overlook little sets--fine by me. #hiddengem

Ho Ho Ho tis the season to buy... 60 40123 60 40124 60 40125

Spotted this gem at a sale friday in texas unknown price and condition but who knows

I love this set. You wanna see a crappy set.... HEY!!!....WINTER TOY SHOP....YOU SUCK!!!

Love, love, love the negative comments about this set! All the elements are here now to make this a winner...

Can't agree more. Compare to any of modular buildings, this GB HQ looks really plain and boring. It is just a B grade movie with a very catchy tune. Wow. You are dead to me now.

Reservoir Dogs - Tipping Scene

Was just looking this morning and in the last couple of weeks, it appears sold prices on Ebay have really jumped on this. Many sales above $900 and a few above $1,000. I expected this jump, but not before December. I think the movie and Christmas may give this another $200 push.

This will look nice down the street from Brick Bank. Now we need a big Sedgewick Hotel to recreate the Slimer scenes.

And the inside and outside will be inside the box

There are real easy solution for those that despise tipping. Stay home. Don't use services that generally rely on tips. Instead of b***hing about tipping, do something about it and don't patronize those businesses.

Lego wouldn't retire White House before the election...[emoji6]

Amen - I can't wait for its release. First day purchase...

What's with the empty shelves on the right? You slacker!

Exactly... tips should be given voluntarely. When one is happy with the service. I do not like sometimes it is a common thing. Like in restaurants it is written in the menu how much the minimum tip should be. Cause then the waiter or whoever becomes sloppy. Cause they will get tipped anyway. I always give generous tips. If I have to be scrooge about that I'd rather stay home and cook myself. euhhh... I mean.... let my wife cook.

this one too! http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/lego-technic-service-truck-42008/6000090893068

Amazon Olivia's House - $110 Delorean - $113 9493 X-Wing - $175 EBay Grand Emporium - $310

Just sold one on BL for $136 CAD including shipping. I'm pretty happy with that.

I rather they just raise the prices on the meal and if it's over my budget then I just go somewhere else to eat.

I can see how people may not have much faith in this set but something to consider is that it didn't make it to 2 years. That's great news in Lego investing. I don't think one would need to be a fan of The Lego Movie to want this. It's a ship, large ships historically do well. I believe that most people would assume they "thought they had more time" to get one of these. I believe it's down to Amazon & Target now in the U.S. For people asking "what Lego set to buy" I would recommend this set. I don't believe it's heavily hoarded but one would need to be patient...my 2¢

Looks like the designer did a good job at recreating the real thing, even if it is a plain brick building. If the interior is similar to the Kwik-E-Mart that he did then expect lots of detail and plenty of microbuilds.

I´m sticking my neck on the line here but It will probably have a picture of the outside on the front and the inside on the back.

76042 like the Ideas submission is a Helicarrier, that is where the similarity ends.

Amazes what people can build from Lego

As for its exact retirement date, hard to tell indeed. But the set is making progress towards its end of production. Step 1: start of a new set. Max order 1 unit step 2: interest wanes from fans. Sets available in multiples online and in B&M stores step 3: set isn't visible in b&m for a while. In the end it gets a new large production run. The last one. Or not. (T1 Camper) Step 4: TLG continues to produce smaller quantities for its own distribution network. Online and the lego stores. Step 5: set goes Oos regularly. (DS) Step 6: horde goes crazy as it predict retirement. TLG starts a new production run. Stockpiles increase. Market gets flooded for very popular sets. (Red five) Step 7: one more production doesn t get absorbed rapidly. After another oos the secondary market only marks up the set 20%. Tlg decides to pull the plug. (Pet shop) The only way to accelerate this process based on sales and set popularity, is product renewal rate, licenced theme, product glitches, retirement of mold, better building techniques. Glad to read your improvements to this step by step process.

As you can read in my comments before this set really gets to me. I mean I want it NOW! Reading all these "negative" comments I have no doubt that most people here who are writing them now will BUY BUY BUY the set later. And I'm betting that some of you will even love this set for yourselves. I didn't like Kylo Ren's Shuttle (and still won't build it) but having seen it on display I must confess that it looks better than I thought it would be. I agree that LEGO could have added some minor exterior details to improve this model even more but this is a solid build with or without nostalgia. If you can't see that comparing it to the modulars then maybe you will once you see it in person. The Quick-E-Mart or the Simpsons House both look rather plain to me as well but opening them you can discover all kind of fancy details that make these sets awesome. (And the exterior isn't half-bad either). But please: Everyone who thinks this set is boring, too expensive, should have been better, etc. please please please!!! just stay away from this set. Don't buy it for yourselvesl. Don't buy it as investment. Don't even buy it for others. Leave this set to people who love it already. I guarantee you this one will be a winner as soon as it is released as well as down the road. Please feel free to quote me if I'm wrong later on :-P By the way: http://shop.lego.com/de-DE/Feuerwehr-Hauptquartier-75827

Lego wouldn't retire White House before the election...[emoji6] Okay, now you're just daring them publicly. 🤔

I actually can't wait to build this thing.

I was parting out the train set in the summer for ~$160US after fees and I kept all the track for myself. If prices are close to what they were, there is a LOT of meat on the bone.

We just get a high tip for selling lego sets to these people. They are just very happy we exist. Wonder why Lego disagrees. ;-)

eBay - Fallingwater for $185 shipped. I was very surprised that I had this sale

Well, at my day job I work under a union contract. This particular union contract leaves no room for individual tangible rewards from our employer -- everyone doing the same job gets paid the same, there are no individual raises and no bonuses. And I would be the first to point out that yes, for many of the people here work degrades to the lowest bare minimum of service they can do without getting written up. However there are also plenty of other employees that regularly try and raise the bar for job performance. These people find that they get the gratitude of their fellow workers, their customers and if they have a good manager they are also awarded priority for picking schedules and projects. These employees also tend to stay for the long haul and receive longevity raises and tend to stay until their retire with pension benefits -- the slackers tend to leave angry and upset after a couple of years. -=- As for how it applies to restaurants, I live in California and we have a fast food chain here called "In & Out" that can be an interesting case study. Based on friends I knew that worked there back in the 90's, they were never expected to be tipped, they were paid nearly double the minimum state wage, shift supervisors were encouraged to write up anyone that provided bad customer service and most importantly managers actually fired people that got written up. As a result, as a customer -- I knew they were paid well and the service I got there always exceeded my expectations for a fast food restaurant, and often exceeded what I would expect at a diner. -=- If I walk into a restaurant, if I receive poor service, I look around and see what level of service other people are receiving. If it appears my service was worse then that received by other people, I mention it to the shift supervisor, or manager on my way out. If it appears everyone is receiving poor service, I vote with my money and never visit that establishment again. If others did the same, then those that run places with poor wages and low expectations will go out of business and those that pay well and have high expectations from their employees will prosper.

Its a ship people! Even bigger than 10210. The trepidation is that the Sea Cow is not an 'orthodox' looking subject. But that just makes it even more unique.

now it will be too crowded. so better pass it now :D

A former waitress told me you are supposed to tip servers like this a few cents. This lets them know that you didn't forget to tip and that you think their service was poor.

So sick of everyone "deserving" in this country. I'm sorry but most do not deserve!

I personally wouldn't eat at a place with $50 steaks, but if I were eating at some place with $30 steaks, I'd rather pay $35 and not be expected to tip and *know* that the staff were receiving decent wages. And then if I believed the staff had gone above and beyond my expectations, then I would leave an additional tip. IMHO patrons should not be expected to tip for "standard expected base level of service" -- patrons should tip when they feel their expectations have been exceeded, as a show of appreciation for a well prepared meal, or a server who had gone to exceptional effort to make sure you were taken care of. And I expect patrons should be charged (as part of the cost of the meal) enough so that all the staff should get paid a decent wage. -=- Now I might argue as to what constitutes a decent wage (ie, commensurate with the service that is expected at a particular venue, that is appropriate for the venue's location, and adjusted for the staff's level of experience & skill) -- but that doesn't seem to be the point of the current thread...

Finally got around to updating the messaging center on Brick Classifieds. Today we pushed new updates to finally have decent looking area to view, compose and reply to messages. It is a little easier to navigate. We will be addresses a few other rough looking areas in the near future as well. Please let me know if you run into any issues when communicating with a buyer or seller.

The set looks awesome. I do not agree the building looks boring. It is just the way the building from the movie is. There is always a chance Lego might retire Ecto-1. To make up for the WTS debacle. To fit it in your modulars takes some puzzling. Cause I believe the baseplate for this set is 32x48?

ISD came out in August 2014 - its only been out a little over a year. Phantom came out the same day.

Forget Lego Light up bricks, they need a Theme Music playing Brick to play the iconic Ghostbuster's Theme song! Or as my 2 year old says "GO BUSTERS!"

According to LEGO... Firehouse Headquarters doors can open to fit the 21108 LEGO® Ideas Ghostbusters Ecto-1 inside!

I've had it worse. I've found Mega Bloks in mine. The horror!

Is that what you want, what you really really want ?
