Pretty easy sequence to predict here people. Both for Cindy and Death Star. 1. Image leaks. 2. "Meh, not impressed, where has Lego's creativity gone?" 3. "Guaranteed investment winner" - Ed Mack 4. "Well, the previous version [is/isn't] selling well in [Europe/US], so don't think your market can predict the [US/Europe] market on this set!" 5. OrcKing posts high-res official thread pics minutes after they are available. 6. "You know, looking at this again, I like those two greebles, and look, two new unique parts in [seafoam blue/dark-light-gray-bley]" 7. Goes on sale on Lego.com with a Nexo Knights promo cycle or chopper. 8. "In for 3" - Exciter. 9. "This is my first Lego investment, was it good that I bought 20 of these already??" - user with reg date of x-1 week from posting date. ... .. ... 10. Profit! :-)

You missed 3B: thisset will do justfine I will start buying2 per month soon and work up to 500units you cant lose with large exclusives - Emazers

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.

Going way off topic folks . Not the place

No, but hopefully it will have a helicopter.

According to Ironbrick, the whole planet is doomed and mankind with it! When i see his posts I immediately imagine

I think this set is really bad and worthless. I bought three of them a while back just to burn them in some kind of ritual.

My first garage sale find. 23 minifigures and one motorcycle. $0.25 each, $6 total. I left all the loose LEGO. Who is the dude on the lower right?

As someone that has built, or been a part of building just about every worthwhile star wars set from the last 5 years, this one ranks first in my book as one of the most satisfying builds. I know i'm not the only one that shares that opinion. Is it as sexy as the Slave 1? No. Is it a cooler build with a lot more interesting features.. Heck yes. To me, this is everything a large scale UCS set should strive to be. On the same token, i'm not going crazy on these as an investment and will just add a couple to my stock, but I expect it should do very well if you hold it past 2 years.

Went to grab a Technic Porsche from the Lego Store in Cleveland. Wanted to try to get another sale in under the wire on the eBay $50 for June seller fee promo. While in the store, I asked if there were any damaged box exclusives. Low and behold, they had a Porsche with a small crease on one side for 1,000 bonus VIP points. Couldn't pass that up. Already flipped the good box set, can build the damaged box set, and when my LEGO Shop at Home order shows up in 2018 I'll hold that one long term.

Point 5, I think you're missing a zero. Point 9. Ironbrick mentions for only the second time, possibly the third, how bad this new set is for the 10188

I am afraid it will go differently: 1. Shortyz will post the first leaked image and asks: thoughts? 2. dcdfan and speedsausage will say they like 10188 better. And that the boxart reminds them a little of the B-wing. 3. Val-E will alert everyone to keep an eye on Bricklink. 4. Many will share how happy they are they just sold their last 10188 for $500 a week before the leaked image. 5. Emazers will try to calm the horde by saying the 10188 wiill still sell for $500 down the road. 6. The new DS is starting to grow on MarleyMoose who isn't really a big fan of the set. 8. Some people, are happy with the new DS. Cause they just missed the 10188. Whilst many others, like Ciglione, are calling for a boycot of the new DS. 9. .........

BokBokTron Meggatron by Angus MacLane

I'd have to adopt you .... no more senior discount at Shopko!

That's why I operate my own in-house LEGO store where my kids can buy their favorite sets (prepopulated based on catalog reviews, wishlists and store visits) at discount prices.

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.

According to a story by Andrew Paul, Contributing Writer to Comicbookresources.com, the next wave of DC Mighty Micros will be released January 2017, and include three new superhero/villain pairs: Batman vs. Killer Moth Superman vs. Bizarro Wonder Woman vs. Doomsday For more on this, check out the Comicbookresources.com story here. Thoughts on the new pairings? Please feel free to share in the comments section below. View full blog article

If you don't have any I would suggest getting at least a few, as You will never see a large $300 Sandcrawler again, so if you have the money get them, I have plenty of them, got them all at the Lego stores and all beautiful Boxes. Ed

just like the last one, this does work on egift cards for TRU, sears, staples, lowes, etc...

Totally correct. And when the decision is "no".....I suggest to watch "A New Hope" (again) which pulls the decision-maker back into the rollercoaster of "feelings". Beside that, I really like this beast......

There are lots of opinions on the potential of the Sandcrawer in the 21 previous pages in this thread. You might be swayed one way or the other by reading through them. I don't think any new opinions will help with the decision.

I give to you....the Supermobile!

It's nice to see AFOLs join who value Lego as a hobby. Welcome to the website.

GHOSTBUSTERS 2016 HeadQuarters by Eric DRUON

Built the new Ghostbusters Ecto-1. From a build perspective, it's a nicer build than the original set. Pretty sharp too. http://imgur.com/a/bLzp3

If you say so. I'll keep my fingers crossed you're right before the remake with the reindeer coming from the other direction on the box...

In for 3...

@Ciglione I honestly couldn't believe it turned out to be such a great set that was offered. She sends me two random set #s, the other was just a small creator house that is maybe worth the $30 she was asking, but I didn't really like it, and have spent too much lately, the other, I just couldn't believe. I know my 6 year old will be super happy for an awesome set to build to keep our little city moving along. Finally feel like I got a win...I see all these amazing CL post wins about GBHQ for $150 NIB or 4 sets NIB worth $1000 for $100...guess it just pays to be persistent and ALWAYS ASK if they have more...I'll share some images once built but my son who turns 6 this weekend will be getting the mystery mansion and possibly a train set, so lots of building ahead!

Big Ben in its new home. Very tedious build which is worth it at the end.

Built Big Ben and added lights from Brick Stuff. What a slick addition to the model - I added two white LEDs in the top of the tower, and two green LEDs behind the colonnade above the four sided clock. Next step is to illuminate the facade and light the Tower Bridge displayed next to it. For those builders and MOCers that have thought about diving into lighting, you will not be disappointed.

Anger Poster by Angus MacLane

I see a couple pieces to some kind of ship (maybe pirate).

As Elkkthunder said, it is a Fantasy Era Troll Warrior wearing some random vest.

Can confirm it's 3.

I am dealing with the very same dilemma except I do not have the PR yet and got an used GE and TH already. I might pull the trigger on the SC anyway since if I end up really liking it and have to get it after retirement my fear is that its price might climb faster than PR or DO/BB in similar circumstances.

but i read "war stories"?

The King or Queen does. In this case....LEGO is King.

Hopefully this means we'll get a Bizarro and Doomsday figure in 2017. I would hate to think that these are the only versions of those characters coming for mass release.

6755: Sheriff's Lock-Up It seems like most people hate the western theme, but i absolutely loved this set! My favorite from this set was that it included a money safe and coins / notes.

Yep, same sort of standard as Elsa's Sparkling Castle, minimal piece count, aesthetically quite poor, however every little girl is going to want it regardless and us Dads will part with our money just to see them smile !!!!

Put together the Midieval Market Village set today. Picked this up with the intention of adding snow to the roof and adding to my winter village. Set is a lot of fun to put together and I really like the figures. I understand now why this set is often included as an honorable mention in the top Lego sets of recent memory. Very cool!

Sopwith Camel 10226 I've been putting off this post for a week as I tried to digest this build. It's not that I didn't like it, I just wanted to like it more. Don't get me wrong, I love the subject, there were some neat elements, the thing is impressive on display, and both I and my niece had fun with the build...I just wanted to like it MORE. I picked this one up for around $60 and for that price, I'm glad for the experience...also glad I didn't open one of my sealed ones. For the right person this is an amazing model and well worth the cost though due to its size, it takes a commitment to display. Oh well, spent the last 30 minutes breaking it down to move on down the road. Hopefully the next person who gets it likes it a little more than me.

This is actually about a week or maybe two old now, so not 'built today' but built recently! I'd mentioned plans of doing this in a few other threads during the spring. Finally finished my first iteration. This is my modular Bike Shop & Cafe, comprised of 3 copies of the 31026, plus a tiny handful of extra bricks from my own collection. I googled other people's variations on this set, and I think mine came out quite unique; I was going for the older building look that fits the early 1900s (and other modulars) for the shops on the ground floor, but wanted to do a 'new reno' flat on the upper floor. I managed to keep a handful of the original set's features present on the ground floor, but went full custom on the next floor. The modernized hipster flat is complete with an eco-friendly green-roof, providing fresh produce for the chef next door at Chez Albert. One may also note the owner of the flat has purchased some of the abstract art from the painter that lives next door too... [did I go too far? lol] My images are too large to fit in one post... Edit: and now I can't upload any more? Guess this is all you get. I have a whole wack of shots of the inside, everything is fully furnished. Aw well.
