Y'all need to stop wasting time posting......you are wasting precious hoarding time. BUY, BUY, BUY, BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's see if we can make this set worthless!

But those will be labeled 'Health Leedger' on the box...

eBay: SSD $900 ($10 final value fee) Delorean $130

The Tumbler is a must have set. When it retires, people will panic once again. This is no Tower of Orthanc. It's much better. As I stated a long time ago, you can never have too many of this set. It will perform better than any Modular and will be on the same league as the Slave 1 and other UCS sets IMO. If it disappears soon...lookout.

Microfighter x-wing and millennium falcon for $38 on ebay. x3

LEGO: The tumbler and hellicarrier are retiring hurry and get them before they are gone forever!!!!!! The horde: we better hurry and buy buy buy buy buy!!!!!!!!! Lego a few months later: ha ha ha just kidding suckas!!!!!

$130 set bought on BF for 40% off sold via CL for RRP. $50 profit for an 8-day hold. My most sincere apologies to the QFLL's. I was wrong to criticize you. Even with my high moral standards, opportunities like this are just too hard to say no to.

Mom & Pop sale extravaganza!

I think there is way to much thought going into this, it's retiring soon that's all there is to it.

I just wanted to share a special moment I just had with those of you that are thinking of contributing and would really like to see your published work on the store shelves. Today was finally the first day I got to go to a store and see if the book was available. I got to say it was a pretty surreal moment to walk down the isle and then see your name on the spine mixed in with the rest. It was a lot of work, but in the end I am grateful that we were giving the opportunity and this next book will be even better.

i'm doing my part to ensure its not a poor seller. i think the timing is great. time to get to goal. up to 7 - would like to be at 21 by EOL. i have no darkseids and i can sleep at night. not sure i'd be able to sleep without a small stash of tumblers. Tumber EOL - now that will be some epic F5'ing you can be sure.

Today I learned something exists called "Google will eat itself" on a Lego-related site. Of course, I used Google search to figure out what GWEI is.

Woo! Just topped $200 on Amazon from a 3PS. Love it. A shame I only have two, but I think I'm going to hang on to them a while. I'd probably have more if I had a B&N closer to my home.

Where have you been hiding? Under a rock?

this set makes me drink alot.

40138 Christmas Train for $45 on eBay

These were a good buy with Target snafu...

Was in Canadian tire last night browsing and came across the LEGO section 20-50% off. There were some good buys (ISD, ATAT, Pirate Ship). However a few other locations i checked had no sales at all, and some were only like %20. Online price does not reflect the in store price as well. Picked up a couple ATAT's

Oh man those GBH prices, gotta love the insanity.

The problem is the sniping approach. When most investors buy in bulk when a set is rumor to retire that spikes sells and may lead Lego to extend its life. But if everyone buy their quotas in a steady phase throughout the product life cycle, it should not skew the sales metric too much and should reduce any last minute product life extension. Also less F5 heart attack on us too

I keep having no luck with local sales the last few weeks if anyone near DeSoto Tx starting 12/9 some vintage space if anyone near Liberty, Mo for 12/10- nice adventures stuff

Probably you are right. But I hope I am right.

I don't think they're that compassionate. If they were, you'd get a heads up on everything. I think maybe they're not selling it as quickly as they'd like & stock levels are high in the countries they have it tagged "retiring soon."

Where's the fun in that???

GBH $78 x2 Amazon, actually scared of selling higher with risk of price dropping and getting hit with returns

Unless you count the ones from China.

This statement is true but it also has 6

The online saving feature for Walmart.ca is back and Benny's spaceship is 50% off. My first post so wanted to say hi. I'm more of a collector vs investor and have been on this site learning and catching deals when I can and its hard because you guys are fast.

Sell the new sets and buy used sets to build. That is what I've been dong. Just wait for a deal to turn up. They always do depending on what you consider a deal... Then sell the used sets when you are ready for at least a small profit.

Yes, you did. Do not take it personally. Here you will even get shot down if you post the earth is round.

Buy the tires direct from LEGO.com for $8 per tire.

I posted 2-3 months back that my local Lego shop Boss told me that it would be retiring soon and it would also take everyone by surprise. It even had a Retiring soon tag on the box in the store. Got shot down pretty quickly. looks like his prophecy might be right Helicarrier is retiring soon as well according to him,like I posted. Retiring soon tag in the store and a sign that says "not eligible for members discount anymore"

I agree. Well, isn't there a new Batmobile in the new movie that would make the Tumbler outdated? Just sayin..... Makes a lot of sense...

My inventory ultimately ends up sorted in a tray system (for the most part). I use the "Remarks" section to tag what tray the lot is in, so "T1, T2" etc. When looking at your inventory summary page you can sort by the remarks. So sometimes I will spot check a tray by sorting for the "T2" remark and auditing. I can only get about 30 lots in each tray, so it's manageable. Happy to share pics of the trays I use if anyone is interested.

Sold gbh for $77.94 on Amazon

Oh yeah, well one time I got them for $3 each after BOGO, stacked with 20% off, TRUTH and Rewards dollars. So I pretty much can't be beat.

Good luck getting that feedback removed. You will need persistence or luck in large amounts, maybe both. I had a similar situation last year with an old Star Wars polybag set. The mom who bought it let her kid open it and build it then left negative feedback for it being "so small" and "such a ripoff". I even bold / highlighted the piece count in my listing description... It took a lot of convincing eBay that her "honest experience" had nothing to do with my performance as a seller, only her failure to be a responsible buyer.

Truly amazing how little attention this is getting. The space station that cried wolf, indeed.

My last 70006 Chima Cragger's Command Ship for 122 euro excl. shipping. Goodbye my friend. You've been very good to me.

10196 has done slightly better...

More like orthanc doing well ? ( atleast here in the land of Uncle Sam)

Did it once while I was under 10k. Extremely time-consuming. Since I passed the 10k mark, I know that alterations to my inventory can only be minor and besides, each BL member knows that if they order the full quantity of a certain piece one store has, they may end up a piece or two short. I had one larger order recently, a fellow reseller emptied my inventory on some parts I had on cheap, I was missing 6 of one piece, 5 of other, 3 of another yet and then 1x and 1x. Completely negligible compared to the size of the order and of course he didn't mind in the slightest, it happens to all of us... The important thing is you pack your orders well (ziplock bags preferably), and that you are honest about your pieces (used/new) and that you ship fast if they need them urgently, all the rest is secondary...

I did my first You Tube Video for fun of the Top Ten Lego Investing sets of 2015 4th Quarter in September & "The Tumbler" was my number 1 pick. Oddly enough I don't have any! That will change tonight as I will start with 2 from Amazon.....

Last time there was a new status update to Death Star (when it went Sold Out in July) they sold about 1,000 of them in three hours. This whole place came unglued. Presumably we've all gotten that out of our system? Let's not convince TLG to produce 1,000 more by going bananas at this new tag.

Yes if anyone was curious... Amazon is where the stupid money is. (as I like to tell people) For what ever reason people will pay a premium to shop on Amazon than deal with eBay. GBH is a (sorry) example.

I prefer the tiered approach. I currently have 12 of these, and i've bought in the 70s up to 100. If this breaks 200, i'll definitely sell off a few in the next week or two, and may sell a few more up into february if the movie creates a frenzy. Last years MF 7695 is a prime example of what might happen to the At-at. I believe the MF peaked around 260 (yeah a few may have sold over that, but not many) and then when the new MF was announced prices pretty much plateaued. After the new release, it's been sitting at 235 since and it hasn't really risen like the other sets. I really would be shocked to see the AT-AT go for 300.00 and hold at that price. Even MF 7454 has pretty much plateaued at 350.00 and that's been out for since 2007 I believe. A decent peak will probably be within the next few weeks and while it could go higher, I doubt it goes MUCH higher. Other At-at's like 8129 currently sits at 245. The ancient one 4483 while in the 500 range would have had to been held for a decade. The motorized one is kind of it's own animal, and that sits around 700. I don't see this version following in the footsteps of the motorized version. Personally, I don't view most star wars sets as super long term holds since rehashes are too common. Just look at what happened with the A-wing, Droid Escape, Hoth attacks set, Homing Spider Droid, etc. They are all getting rehashed next year, and will be out soon. AT-AT may have 2 years before the next iteration, but it will definitely have a new iteration in some form very soon. Since I have a son that likes to build, I can pretty much flip two at-at's in the next couple weeks and take the profits to a lego store on January 1st, and buy a Brick Bank for free with the profit play money. Not a bad move, by just picking up a few more at-at's over the last few days.

so snow dolphins???
