Jurassic World and Scooby are done this year, not in the 2017 Wholesale Order Form.

So I finally got around to building this set with my son. I purchased it used in 2013 and extras were included (another set of 7199 cars and minifigs plus some Temple Escape elements). The original owner paid $60ish for it (Target clearance price sticker). Tape seals indicate this set was made during the 1st week of 2010. It was a nice build. The track is a tad fragile and should really stand higher under the Temple so the mine card could roll from start to end. My kids love dropping minifigs into the cars and pushing them on the track

I stand corrected, it is clearly not a sea plane. Huge difference. Sea planes clearly have TWO head lights in the front. not just one.

If Toywiz buys from you then you're selling too low.

Easy to predict when price correction will occur

Today, I received my first Resistance X-Wing Fighter. The difference in box size is mind-boggling. So 23 additional bricks in an extremely similar set obviously made it necessary to enlarge the box by roughly 40%. This might explain why the set is priced higher than Poe's X-Wing Fighter in certain markets.

You already know the answer to that.

That doesn't look like a regulation smooshing basket

Got these 2 from a thrift shop today-$50 NZ :-)

My grandparents give me the same thing for Christmas every year- $10.

Here comes London bus

So 100% true story. Han Solo fans may appreciate it. Back in 2012 when I got married, my sister was dating/living with some scrawny LA actor who my groomsmen had fun ribbing. Apparently he had some big "blockbuster" called Beautiful Creatures coming up he was gonna be the "next big thing" from. Alden something, I didn't really pay attention other than he was the dude my sister had been dating a few years, he seemed like an artsy dweeb who took himself way too seriously for my tastes. Beautiful Creatures flopped a few months later, and he went into a 3-month depression where he barely left his bed. My sister left his pouty ass. Turns out scrawny Alden (Ehrenreich) was cast as the new Han Solo just recently here. My sister has since married some other guy. But the moral of the story: Hans f***ing Solo was at my wedding. I've got pictures of and with Hans Solo at my wedding. Top that!

I'll take my chances with the 400 Star Wars Advent Calendar sellers. Too soon to talk about those?

maybe it's the way he talks. like Chandler Bing.

That awkward moment when the S@H freebie was available for $4 LAST YEAR at Target

FBA : At-te : $200 . Made that 50$ a piece hunt at Walmart so worth it . Alt listing , since the primary was suppressed for the longest .

Found this today. On sale for $25.

Hi, first post here! Been reading for a couple months. Don't think I've seen anyone mention B&N for Birds on this topic. Maybe not quite the Amazon price mentioned above, but with 10% member and 10-15% GC I've been ticking off my easily reached B&N stores. Got an additional 10% off on a crushed box today too for self so I don't have to open a nice one. Cheers.

You think it is going? Should i buy for investment now?

FBA 70115 - Chima: Speedor Tournament - $48 75048 - Star Wars: The Phantom - $58

If it works with Falcons and X wings, why not for dinosaurs?

Don't forget your Swimways body board, free with a $40 purchase in store. Perfect for the beach or pool this summer.

$31.50

We've already seen leaked pictures of the 5 sets and 3 Constraction figures that will be in those boxes and none are the AT-AT. There could always be an exclusive or a later set that we don't know about yet, but all signs point to no AT-AT for the Force Friday launch.

Sold 1 Anakin's Y-Wing Starfighter (8037) on Amazon for $100.94 (ended up netting about $79 after shipping and fees).

You are right. I apologize. Please take one Internet for your troubles.

Nah, I get it. Gotta free up capital for those 30% off Bionicle and swamp police sets.

They have a new 2016 Bionicles show up on Netflix with the new Uniters and Creatures... Only three episodes so far though more are promised. Sorry to be a bubble burster but I don't think these are done. Last year's wave did this too ... Many found them on super clearance yet they're still available. I think last year's wave is on their last legs and the new sets will be around until next summer.

Ended up also buying today 9474 The Battle of Helm's Deep for $150.00 total shipped (and $7.95 in eBay bucks with the current promo). Figure that's about as close to retail as I'll find it these days and doubt we'll ever see more LOTR sets in the near future.

Here's some other telling graphs. First one is Millennium Falcon. In my opinion, what's interesting about it is right around the point that it was announced that there would be a "new lego MF" for Rogue One is the point where it plateaued, and then slowly plateaued in price and went south a bit. So, I think the At-AT will continue rising until that new announcement, whenever that maybe. Until then ride the wave. The second is the trajectory of the OT x-wing, which is still having an upwards swing. It's tough to say if a new x-wing is coming for Rogue One, but it's in the film, so I suspect we might see one, and that will probably plateau that set too. Interesting that Poe's X-wing had no effect on this older version, compared to say the new MF having an effect on the OT MF. Finally, growth of the Republic Gunship, AT-TE, and AT-TP. All these sets are showing upwards trajectories. So, i'm going to go out on that limb again and say AT-AT's are going to continue to rise. Also, sets that aren't currently retired but getting closer like the Imperial Shuttle Tydirium, Jedi Duel, and all of those first wave Force Awakens sets will probably see those EOL spikes. Granted, not all sets spike like they do as the MF did, as some like the RG, AT-TE, etc slowly but steadily rise in price through the months. But I think we will definitely see good spikes this year with other sets.. Now we just play the "when will the announcment be with a new At-At?" In my opinion, you have to sell right before that announcement to hit the peak. Because then it will more than likely plateau and start a slow but not too steep decline in price, similar to the OT falcon.

Am I the only one who didn't have a grandparent that could swing $250 for a single toy for them growing up?

I dare you to post similar replies to @emazers posts

I've had many inquiries, thanks to everyone! The collection has been sold, and I'm working with the buyer to arrange delivery. Thanks again to everyone, that was really quick. I actually had several offers in excess of my $12,500 asking price. I didn't accept them as 1) I had been working a deal with a buyer prior to this, and 2) I felt $12,500 was the fair price which leaves enough room for the buyer to make some profit on this collection. After all, that's one of the reasons we're all here. Thanks again, now I have to start packing things up.

Yes, collection is in Albuquerque, NM. I'll drive up to 500 miles on my end for delivery if needed. My treatment has been great so far. Losing much of your tongue totally sucks, but it beats the alternative. Thanks everyone for the good wishes, I'll make it through this.

I was sort of interested by the premise of Vinyl ....however seeing how many "f-bombs" were dispersed so liberally in just the teaser killed whatever interest I had. I realize as adults we may have a tendency to swear yet at the same part being a grownup should require us to know well when such language even is needed in the first place. To me so much cussing feels unnecessary, reflects ignorance of the speaker and laziness on the writers. Well I'm done with the soapbox. Anyone want it?

...or backyard fun!

40230 is done this year along with all the early 2015 sets (Le Mans car, Arctic truck).

I thought the Batman Superman film would have helped. The set itself is awesome. If anyone is in the market for a neat build and great Batman minifig selection, this is a great set to buy, Too bad every minifig is either a rehash or has already been rehashed. I think many Lego Superhero buyers don't seem to care much about the brick builds in sets. It's all about the minifigs. If even 1/2 of the included minifigs were really "exclusive" (meaning no other recent set contained a version of that character) , I'm sure prices would be above $400.

Some people probably wonder if I'm averse to going outside the comfortable zone of Star Wars sets. There's a whole universe out there of LEGO themes and sets that have nothing to do with Star Wars or Super Heroes. Well, I wanted to start with the daddy of the modular sets, the one that began one of the most expensive (on average) series of sets out there. LEGO Modulars are an offshoot of the standard Creator line. Introduced in 2007, this sub-theme consists of large, detailed buildings targeted at adult collectors. The retail price tag of the sets and the 16+ age range tends to discourage the younger collectors. The very first set in the line was the Cafe Corner. This set was designed by Lego's Jamie Berard. It retailed for $139.99 and contained 2,056 pieces. Current Brickpicker Price Guide Value shows a value of about $795 used or $1700 new in box. The used price of this set is more than 5.5x its original retail. The original retail price per brick was a fairly reasonable $.07, while now the value of the used bricks averages much closer to $.39 each. So, why not just make one out of the parts that your kid keeps leaving on the floor of the living room? I'm sure you'd love to save almost $800 plus shipping on this beautiful beast. The biggest problem are the parts involved. Not just any part will do. In a lot of cases, you're going to need far more of certain pieces than you are likely to have on hand. In other cases the parts involved are either unique to this set or in so few sets that the odds of you happening to have one are rare. If you were to buy a set used, you probably know what to look for there, but we'll take a look at some of those things so that people can be aware of what might have been substituted if the dealer is shady. So, 2056 parts listed on the box. Of those 2056 parts, the number of different element/color combinations is 259 including the 3 minifigures. The color palette is 17 colors dominated by dark and light bluish gray with tan, white, reddish Brown and Black filling in most of the remainder. I don't know about you, but to me that sounds about like what I would expect from a big building. Parts with Highest Occurrence: I'd like to take a look at what parts are most common in the set. These would be the fundamental building blocks what might say. Each of these pieces occurs 25 or more times. I had to pick a lower limit and 25 was it. This article is in no way a comprehensive parts list for the set, it is an analysis of what makes this set unique. For a complete inventory, I suggest the Bricklink reference catalogue. (Apologies for when the images do not match the color in inventory. We are using the basic element picture to represent the item from the set. Please pay attention to the color listed in your inventory.) The most common element in the set is Element 4070 Brick, Modified 1x1 with Headlight (Sometimes called an Erling Brick) in Reddish Brown. You need a massive 60 of these bricks. Bricklink shows an average of about $.12 each. Fortunately it's a fairly common part appearing in 109 sets. The next highest number of pieces in the set is Element 3069b Dark Bluish Gray Tile 1X2 With Groove. For 51 of these at almost $.08 each, You'll spend almost $4.00 but you could definitely average lower since this piece is even more common, appearing in 268 sets in all It's not deja vu, you need 45 reddish brown element 3069b Tile 1x2 with groove. This part appears in only 148 sets (I know, that's still a lot, but almost half as many as the previous entry.) so has a slightly higher average of just over $.10 If you liked the 1x2 tiles, you'll go nuts over element 3068b Tile 2x2 with groove. This piece appears 45 times in this set in dark bluish gray. It has an average cost of $.14 and is fairly easy to find, appearing in 209 sets. Continuing the theme, you need 44 dark bluish gray 1x1 tiles with groove, element 3070b. This element appears in 141 sets and sells for about $.07 on average. A brick (break) from the pattern is 39 dark blue 1x2 brick element 3004. This part appears in 47 sets and has an average bricklink cost of about $.19 each. Element 4460b Slope 2x1x3 (Does anyone actually measure the degrees of slant?) in Dark Red appears 39 times. This piece appears in only 5 sets total and will cost you about $1 each. None of the other sets that contain this part have anywhere near the quantity that this set does. (This part should appear in the rare/unique section below, but I will be excluding the duplicate listing to avoid confusion. Just note that this part is both rare and the quantity required is high) You will also need 36 each (that's 72 in total) of white and light bluish gray tiles with groove, element 3070b. White appears in 293 sets and light bluish gray in 151 and they average $.06 and $.08 respectively. 34 Dark Red Plate 1x1, element 3024, are next. It appears in 69 sets and has an average cost of $.08. After that, we're looking at 30 dark red element 3004 Brick 1x2. These run about $.07 on average and appear in 75 set I was thinking about how such a large set seems to have a high proportion of small pieces. How could you ever make something of any size with those. Well, here's something substantial, 29 light bluish gray 1x8 brick element 3008. This part appears in 104 sets and averages about $.27 each. You're looking at almost $8 there. White Plate 1x2 element 3023 is next with a count of 28. This piece is super common, appearing in 1126 sets. You could probably find all of these that you need for $.01-$.02. I'm glad that this next part is on the list. The standard bricks get sort of boring. 28 dark bluish gray brick 1x2 modified (log) element 3036 fills the need for variety. It appears in 93 sets and averages about $.05 each, 27 is a magic number for 1x1 plate element 3024 because you need that many each of trans red and light bluish gray. For trans red, it appears in 485 sets and is easily found for $.01, while light bluish gray shows up in 218 sets and sells for about $.06. You will also need 25 reddish brown round brick 1x1, open stud element 3062b. It appears in 211 sets and averages $.04 each. Up next I'm going to again combine two into one. You need 25 each medium blue and dark bluish gray brick 1x2 element 3004. Medium Blue appears in 87 sets while Dark Bluish Gray shows up in 277. Both average about $.06 each In all, we have accounted for 625 pieces. That's about 30% of the set. Rare and expensive parts: Now that we have looked at the most numerous pieces in the set, let's take a look at the pieces that are hardest/most expensive to find. I am going to list these from most expensive to least expensive. (Note: Not every rare or unique part is expensive and not every expensive part is rare or unique. Just usually it is both.) The most expensive piece in the set is element 73435c01 light bluish gray Door 1 x 4 x 5 Right with Trans-Clear Glass. Bricklink says that it appears in 6 sets, but I dispute that since it shows the same set with an altered box. So, 5 sets. It averages close to $25, but if you're patient, you might get it for less. Just, be careful of scratches to the glass. Doors seem pretty pricey. The next most expensive part is a black Door 1 x 4 x 5 Right with 6 Panes, element 73312. It appears in one other set 4886 Building Bonanza. It's going to cost you close to $20 This next piece surprised me. Mostly I think of element 3680 turntable 2x2 plate base as a common, cheap piece. When it comes to light bluish gray though, it appears in 11 sets (10 if we ignore that same duplicate city airport.) You can't find one for less than $9 right now, and you need 4 of them. Averaging more than $6.75 each, you need 4 Dark Blue pillar 1x1x6 solid pillar support, element 43888. This piece appears in 2 other sets 8894 Piraka Stronghold and 4981 The Chum Bucket. There are 5 white 2x4x3 window frames in this set. At an average cost of almost $6.50 element 4132 makes the list of rare parts by appearing in 10 sets. I remember that in the announcement video for 10235 Winter village market that they specifically pointed out element 3308 dark blue arch 1x8x2 as a rare piece that was in demand. You need one for this set and there's not a lot available for less than $5.50. It appears in a total of 5 sets. I never thought that the light bluish gray trash can with 2 cover holders was a hard to find piece. It seems like element 2439 usually appears in dark gray or dark bluish gray. In this color it appears in 5 sets and will probably cost you $5. You need 2 green 16x32 baseplate element 3857. It's not actually rare, appearing in 76 sets, but it is going to cost you about $4 each. (it is the only green piece in the set, maybe that's a definition of unique or rare?) Again, not super rare, because it appears in 25 sets, Element 2362b panel 1x2x3 with hollow studs in white is here more because of the average cost. It averages more than $4 and since you need 20 of them, it looks like you are going to need to make a bunch of orders because the only people carrying that quantity on bricklink are charging significantly over average. The white lamp post elment 2039 (2x2x7 with 6 base flutes) has appeared in every modular set. It was a trend started by 10182's Lego designer. So, I can't really leave it out of my list. It appears once in this set. It's part of 21 sets and averages $3.50. Appearing in only 2 other sets 8893 Lava Chamber Gate and 10187 Volkswagen Beetle, element 2339 is fairly rare. Dark Blue brick arch 1x5x4 continuous bow averages close to $3.25 and you need 2 of them. Be careful with element 2546 dark bluish gray bird. It appears in 8 sets, whereas the older dark gray version appears in 29 sets. You can get the 4 that you need for about $1 each, but it'll be frustrating if someone sends you the older color by mistake. Bricklink shows element 3747a tan slope inverted 3x2 without connections between studs as part of this set which appears in a total of 4 sets. It lists the more common 3747b as an alternate while rebrickable only lists 3747b. The more common piece appears in 16 sets. The rarer piece averages about $1 each and the more common one about $.30. I wonder if only early issued sets had the a variant. either way, you need 2. You need 4 Dark Blue brick 2x2 corner element 2357. It appears in 9 sets. and averages about $.70 each. I always notice that Dark Blue pieces tend to be harder to find. Minifigures and other stuff: There are 3 minifigures included in this set. All of them are fairly plain, ordinary, nondescript figures using fairly common parts for the most part. The older gentleman is the lowest valued of the set. He runs less than $5 on average. Female #1 has a unique jacket patterned torso piece that makes her the queen of this particular set ringing in at more than $16 on average. Female #2, who is the most boring looking of the 3, actually tops the old man by more than $1 on average. I think it's the hairpiece. The average cost for all parts used through Bricklink is about $564. That's not terrible, considering the whole has sold for more than $200 more than that. Building one for yourself out of parts that you acquire may be more satisfying eventually, but may require far more orders and therefor more shipping than you want to deal with. All parts costs that I calculated are based upon bricklink's average and reflect only the average that these parts sell for, you may be able to acquire what you need for less in a lot of cases. If you want to add instructions or a box, your costs jump significantly, and your options are significantly fewer. The instructions are in 2 books, and there are only 2 listings on bricklink currently that include both books. You're never going to cut down on the quantity of certain parts that are needed. It is possible that at some point one of the rare parts will be released in a new set, knocking the price down for a time. Hopefully having this list will help you to keep an eye out for the key pieces if they ever do show up in a new set. The value of this particular set is unlikely to trend significantly downwards, unless there is a remake. Modular collectors who are just getting into the game will be behind the eight ball if they want to catch up. Demand's going to be there. So,if you can restore one of these sets from various sources for cheap enough, you may come out ahead if you tire of it for your own collection.

I would approach it the logic way. Are you thinking of buying them all ? If you are, then buy the oldest set first, so you don't have it retire on you while you buy others. If you don't want all of them, then buy the ones you like, starting with the oldest...

This is more like Martin O'Neill before the final whistle had gone lol

Think of it this way. You see the figs, they're right there in front of you. Buy em now! People say that's it and people say there will be a flood. No guarantee on anything but what's in front of you.

I built 75105 Millennium Falcon.

Once again, thanks to all. I really didn't want my health to be such a big deal; we all deal with stuff like this eventually, at least if you're living right. Here I am. 6" incision on my neck from the radical neck dissection I had 7 weeks ago. All the lymph nodes in the left side of my neck were removed, along with about 35% of my tongue.

Stephanie's Whale Watching Tour Boat by Tyler Sky

You guys asked, and you shall receive. These were taken a couple of months ago, and I don't actually happen to have all the sets. Missing is the Imperial Shuttle, Ewok Village, and some winter village sets. Oh and detectives office is missing as well because it was destroyed by our friend's kid and had to be put back together which it was.
