  4. I just picked up a used, complete 10179 from a trusted seller and forum member for ~ $2500 USD without manual or box. I want to build this set as it is my grail and have no intention of flipping. No regrets.

  7. Just putting a note out there that I am waiting on an updated data for the US from last month+. File was way too small to be accurate, that is what is holding up the price guide update. I will let you all know when I started processing it all.

  11. In my mind it is even simpler: During busy times they drop the limit to a low number, as they want to serve as many wanting customers as they can. During slow-times they raise the limit to get higher sales volume from a lower number of buyers. Come time for the next promo or buying season and those limits will go down again.

  13. We'll c. I just don't believe the Lego Group's production scheduled gets changed because of last minute increased purchasig of a certain set. That would be a nightmare to manage production that way and would delay the production of future (new) sets. Or maybe that is exactky how the release of 75098 Assault on Hoth came about. That that would be pretty bad is that were the reasoning

  16. I feel like, since it is a show that takes place in a variety of times and locales, pretty much any abandoned idea for most themes could be repurposed for Doctor Who. It would only involve a little bit of research to figure it out. 4th Doctor set with Sarah Jane and an Anubis headed minifigure, throw in some Egypt themed stuff and you have the Pyramids of Mars. Tribal warriors and a disused Indiana Jones set, you could add in 1st Doctor, Susan and Ian and you'd have the Aztecs. Reissue it in a limited edition in black, greys and white, and you'd be printing money. Basically, since the Doctor can go to any time frame, they can use space, castle, western, or any one of most of their properties. All they would need to do is create a few new molds for some of the aliens. They could even reissue just the tardis with some different decoration, or create a new console room or three to attach to the existing TARDIS.

  21. See I'd go with the opposite line of thinking. If you have a new playset that's not selling well, retire the alternatives to push customers towards your new product that you've invested in.

  22. Kids' bday today - Got executive permission to build something too, so we built: 41122 Adventure Camp Treehouse (still unfinished), 30398 Adventure Bridge (both my daughter's projects), 75102 Poe's X-Wing (my son) and 21303 Wall-E (me, yay!). My son, ever the charmer, wanted to give his sister a present too so he bought the Rey constractible from me that I got during the May the 4th sale at LEGO.com for $6.50 (no, I did not upcharge ). She built it immediately (Rey is her favorite SW character). Here's our breakfast nook during these festivities:

  31. Thats intresting, i dont think i have seen any hard to find products at a limit of 5 since september. Maybe TLG has decided that people with 5 children deserve the right to be able to buy 5 ewok villages etc, without being banned.

  33. My boy started this a couple weeks ago but only got about 15 pcs in...I wanted to finish it up yesterday and here's the end result. This time used the GS7 Edge for convenience sake, as well as being rather impressed after seeing the macro images it can produce.

  38. That was the beauty of TFA. It felt like the star wars universe we were all used to growing up with. It was filthy, gritty, lived in. It looked like a universe that you could say is realistic in nature. Then you look at Episodes 1-3, and it's so insanely clean and not a spec of dust exists in the universe. It makes no sense that the entire universe would get so gritty so fast. It felt too clean, too unrealistic. On top of all the other problems. But for just the atmosphere alone, it felt right with all the physical effects they did for TFA.

  39. I love how they built the whole MF in it's entirety instead of using CGI. This is what made TFA feel authentic. The number of sets, vehicles, and aliens they actually built/made is incredible. They cover a lot of this on the TFA blu-ray.

  41. The new vid he puts up where he combines this, the hoth attack set and the 2011 hoth set.... wow! That is a true echo base IMO. I'm tempted to say that if TLG released those 3 sets and removed the UCS logo....$350 no questions asked. I'd still be in the running at $400 i think.

  42. Not sure if my pics really do it justice but i got my final bricklink order in to complete a Helms deep and uruk hai army lot that I got 95% complete. Also added another Uruk hai army and went slightly overboard on eBay getting a few more elves, orcs and wargs to flesh it out. Massive LOTR fan and these make a great display piece IMO - just wish i had more room to fully do it justice

  43. I was pretty damn sure they were gone, there were enough of the warning signs there. No, I wouldn't have bought them at RRP, but that's not relevant to my point, because I'm comparing what I could spend my money on versus buying an SSD for $1,000 and I didn't need to pay RRP. I was pretty confident a remake wouldn't come that fast, past form gives us a bit of a gap, also we are probably going to have a 6 month window between us finding out about remakes and the buying public knowing. Hindsight would be the perfect business model, but without it we also don't know that the SSD isn't about to plateau, which would be the big risk to @Fcbarcelona101's cunning plan. Obviously knowing that the set is retired and you don't have to worry about competition from stores is a great advantage, but at 150% above RRP already, way too much of the growth is already gone for me.

  44. My son picked up this over the weekend. It's quite impressive when a Kindergartener is determined enough to save up months of chore money and garage sale money to get a specific toy. He wanted the UCS Slave 1, but I convinced him to go with this for playability reasons. Anyway, we opened it up and started on it last night, and we are both thoroughly impressed. The build will be complex, but at the same time entertaining enough to keep a little kid engrossed for quite some time. The ship will be quite hefty, but considering it comes with seven mini-figs and opens up, it will provide endless entertainment for him. I also plan to keep the box, just in case it is worth something when he is grown, which I think may be possible with the Han figure, especially considering what happened in the latest movie.

  45. The growth over the last few years on the UCS class of sets is not likely to continue. While I agree that the SSD set has room to grow - to extend that general reasoning to other retired UCS sets is misleading. The graph (especially since most have been retired for more than 5 years) is based on circumstances that will not be happening again - ever. Investing in LEGO can be a safe, reliable, and profitable investing option - Adding unnecessary risk for what would likely be a very limited gain (and even a potential loss) seems foolish.

  46. well, apparently the MF spends some time again on " Ahch-To " and a cool new building set of some sort.

  47. Tricky situation, but IMO your best bet is to .. - in the title, list the sets for sale using the set numbers, i.e. LEGO X-wing Fighter and TIE Advanced - Mini 4483 - as your very first line in your description, state Only contains parts for the main model as displayed in the photos. extra pieces for the bonus model are not included! (and then obviously put up a nice photo or photos of what they are getting and nothing more) And then move on to your regular listing style such as "bricks are clean, good condition" if applicable, etc. If a buyer is going to read anything, it'll likely be the first line. If you keep claims of completeness out of the title and put that disclaimer in the first line, then there is no way any sane ebay representative wouldn't support you in a SNAD case. It's those claims of 100% complete or photos that show items not included that get sellers in trouble in the first place.
