Where have you been hiding little guy?

Latest Star Wars UCS set. Classic Ship.

$40. I missed the boat originally so it's nice to get my hands on one...

I simply could not wait to share. Marvin the Martian and Duck Dodgers by Tyler

Shhhh. The first rule of the Temple of Airjitsu thread is that we don't talk about ToA investment.

atat $230 FBM

5 sold. You really think someone sits on 6+ of these and doesn't know their value?

Pretty good price for technic fire plane @amazon for $34.98 limit 2 Brickolodon wants you to see this item at Amazon.com LEGO Technic 42040 Fire Plane Building Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WHXP7LK/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_8AcExb6M92W3V

Definitely my favorite build so far in 2016. My 7 year old son and I built a couple bags a day for about a week. Looks fantastic in the display cabinet + a lot of quality time with my little guy which is priceless. I don't have any for investment purposes, but the current promo(s) tempt me to grab one for a rainy day. Doesn't appear overly hoarded + it's super unique.

Lego store $50 plus 10% IL tax. NEXO sold for $15 and shipping, castle knight sold for $20, also got 5% VIP back. with castle promo and my NEXO coupons I'll be buying plenty of $50 sets in next couple days... Plus Ferris wheel few days ago, I really like this set and personally think it will be an investing winner...

Just for the record: your return period has expired

By that time, there will be another 8 versions of the Tumbler or Bat Mobile. This particular one is safe in my opinion.

Just like to clarify for those that have ever wondered, Crustybeaver is geezer and not girl.

You can interpret that as either they are producing less SOH and running down stock or the horde have made up their minds that SOH is retiring next and buying the set hand over fist, hence its OOS status. There was a time where one of the sets would have just sold out. These days however I think Lego milk the late surge of interest in sets, Pet Shop, EWOK Village. I'm sure SOH or Tower Bridge will be no different, kicking around for longer than expected. Even retailers are taking advantage, Smyths clearly saw an opportunity in the Tumblers retirement, buying up huge amounts of stock so they could push them all out long after everyone else had sold theirs. I expect this is behaviour we may end up seeing a lot more of now as retailers adapt buying and selling techniques to take advantage of the late surge of money for retiring sets.

was in my local walmart, and noticed all the force awakens sets were reduced at least by 30%. 119 MF's, 64.00 Poe's X-wings, 55.00 Resistance Transporter, Mazy's Castle was 47, 15.00 Rey Speeders, 55.00 FO Ties, and after I cleared out the FO Transporter at 40 something a few months back, they had a new case sitting there at 71. Signs on the wall. These are all gone by christmas, IMO.

You need to refer to the sales and use tax laws of the state in which you reside. The fact that you haven't set up a formal legal entity through which to make your sales doesn't matter at all. Up until this year, I have done all of my sales as a sole proprietor and have been collecting sales tax for several years.

Oh man, and I thought I was good with the obscure references. Haha.

Meditation. Zone theory. In order to know what Lil' Timmy will want come christmas 2018 one must become lil' Timmy. And lil' Timmy's gramama. And what @dcdfansaid.

The tone of the ad and the free weights in the picture lead me to believe it's hcxkid; however, there aren't enough grammatical errors for it to be his.

Investing in LEGO sets is the best idea around. Either the sets increase by huge multiples in 6 months after retirement, or you just unload the whole lot to a BPer for what you paid. You can't lose.

Sounds like a serious case of "I thought I was going to get rich from selling LEGO but it's too much of a hassle".

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

I don't understand why eBay fees are going up...

EBay 6860 Batcave for $99 shipped

Amazon 60050 - City: Train Station - $40.98 (37% off) 42046 - Technic: Getaway Racer - $13.98 (30% off) 42049 - Technic: Mine Loader - $32.98 (34% off)

Next to the search bar is an "advanced" label. Click on this. From the options, pick "Sold listings" (and potentially set the country your looking for, plus other criteria). Then click Search and lo-and-behold .... Oh,, sorting by "Listing End Date: newest first" gives you the best view.

And that is exactly my thought too. Not going to break the bank on the Batcave but put a few aside for a rainy day.

The best thing is to seek professional advice from an inedependent financial advisor in your area as every country or even state has different rules regarding selling (and buying). Anything that generates profit will interest the government and they will want a share - it´s logical.

a target destiny bounty. been wanting one to build for a while. left a stack of Ariel palaces, nothing else at my target. I may go back for one or two

It's too early I think, if they make a movie or tv series it'll drive interest again.

+1 I don't think the JW line will last much longer. Same goes for Scooby Doo I don't see either at retail anywhere. i didn't buy any of these sets for myself but I did like the clear gyro bubble thing included in some of the sets. i might grab some of the bubbles off bricklink if the price hasn't gone skyrocketing on them.

@dcdfan thanks for the quick reply

Looks like the next wave of Marvel Mighty Micros has been revealed: https://www.yahoo.com/movies/meet-legos-mighty-micro-marvel-heroes-exclusive-130148713.html

"every damn set over the last 2 years" - Somebody sounds pissed. It's got to be someone we know.

Eek! Ok , my theory is shot. Im gettin 2 haha.

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: ]

There are long buses, medium, and shorter ones. This is not the long or medium bus

Built this in the morning. Pretty large when built.

Made it through bag 3 of The Tumbler yesterday. Only one missing piece so far. I'm not going to hassle the seller, I just replaced it with one of my own. Book 1 Book 2 Book 3

^ green grocer is awesome!!! I had ordered this last week and put together today, overall think I got a good deal on everything and for some reason I like this more than the newer version (which I have also built)...

Have spent the last 18 months slowly ordering parts when I had extra money in the pp. Finally finished it today, no substitutions. Never built a modular before, it's really much nicer than I expected. Was thinking I would sell it but maybe not...

Queen Anne's Revenge Really enjoyed the build. Couldn't believe how big it was. The family loved it.

well, I gotta admit, I really had fun building 9493. Im not usually a builder but every build I do Im just fascinated at the engineering of these sets ... truly amazing work! 2 hours and 15 minutes for me on this build ... I want more!!!

Millennium Falcon

Our five year old twins built Trevi Fountain this weekend. They love filmmaking and this is their third stop-motion video, but the first they have done with very little assistance!
