  1. STAR WARS sets are far less risky than any Super Hero set, this side of The Tumbler. For the most part, the most valuable STAR WARS sets are based on vehicles, while successful Super Hero sets (with exception of Tumbler) are valuable because of their figures. Maybe you should build a few and you will see the difference. As for my completely incorrect logic...You think you have this all figured out, but you really have no clue. You think you are Spock, only dealing with logic and numbers. LEGO is more than logic. It is a passion and creative force unlike any Amiibo, baseball card or Beanie Baby. It's sad that I cannot teach you these things. You either get it or you don't. You can make money off of logic, but when push comes to shove, the person who "gets it" will have a distinct advantage over those who don't. This applies to any collectible or item that is resold. I have seen people like you on this forum before and you treat it as a commodity, with really no respect for the product itself. Next year, you will be on the next forum, discussing the next hot trends in collectibles, but never really appreciating the collectible being discussed. Until you accept the fact that emotion plays a huge part in the LEGO world, you will never truly understand the opinions of many on this site.

  2. Finally feel like I got a sweet deal...Got the Empire State Building for $10, which took me 10 mins to build and now joins his friends in the office. Then as we're arranging a place to meet up (did this deal via letgo) I asked if she had any other sets, so she said she had 2 more. Only one worth discussing. 4954 Creator Townhouse. Got that used/complete/no box for $40. $50 total and I am a happy camper. Can't wait to build that townhouse.

  20. I actually just finished building a bricklinked 10179 in Bley with some black accents. I didn't just go for bley because new bley parts are more available, I wanted to also stock up on bley to build more star ships, etc. once I take the 10179 apart. The entire inside of the ship uses wahtever bricks I had in any color. It's not as if the lego designers made the perfect pick for every bit on the real ship - so why should I. Having a good looking ship IMO is more important than having the exact parts, since I am not planning to sell or collect this. I already had about 15% of the bricks, bought another 80% new, and about 5% used parts on bricklink and the Lego store. In Europe the total cost ended up being about 900 Euros. Here is a pic: ]

  28. UCS Slave 1. I'm 41. I was all G.I Joe and Transformers when I was a kid. The funny thing is I'm going to pick up all my old toys from my parents basement this weekend and I'm going to sell them to pay for my newly acquired Lego habit. I figure there's no better time to sell that GI Joe and Transformer stuff, I know guys in their 40s will buy stuff like that, but I can't see guys in their 50s or 60s buying a bunch of old toys. I have a ton of figures and a lot of the bigger vehicles. I used all my allowance and every other penny I earned doing odd jobs on smaller vehicles and Transformers and then all I asked for for birthdays and Xmas from 6 years was the planes and bases, etc. Unfortunately my parents weren't nuts, so the aircraft carrier isn't one of them.

  36. They changed something last year in how they do the BB so that it is more directly tied to MSRP even after an item is no longer offered at MSRP. I went around and around with Seller Support last year to confirm and they confirmed that each of the listings was working correctly. It's probably an issue of buyer satisfaction and is targeted more at products that are still offered on the primary market, but go out of stock for a period of time. It would be a huge driver of dissatisfaction if people were buying at a highly infalted price only to see the price drop dramatically when the item came back in stock. By eliminating the BB when a price rises too high, Amazon ensures that the price that buyers see on the landing page is more consistent.

  38. Found another Phantom today at a Walmart $19. In the last three weeks, I've found two ghosts at B&Ns and two Phantoms at Walmarts. Total buy in about $245 after tax, after breaking them into lover-pairs, I'm hoping for close to $200 for each pair.

  42. Our nook is now being taken over again as a play area. We built 75135 - Obi-Wan's Jedi Interceptor today. We aren't original trilogy snobs in this house. My son still prefers "The Clone Wars" over "Rebels", but we do pick and choose story arcs.
