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 currently live in Japan and visited a merchant where I picked up the Carbon-Freezing chamber. I visited the store on a Sunday where a stock person was pulling around a cart with all of the new sets. I asked if these sets were for sale and he said "no, they will be for sale tomorrow". So I returned to the store the following day to find the sets available. I only purchased one, kicking myself now. There are currently no more for purchase. I have asked other employees by showing them a picture and they claim that they will not be getting or selling that set. I have also heard rumor that the United States may not get many or will be late to get them. Does anyone have any additional info on this set and if the merchant was just early to release? Thank you all for the input.

Lazy more than patient. Coupon hunting, giftcard inception, social engineering, constant buying and selling - I'll leave that to you young folk

You're worried about a remake in 8-10 years? Goodness gracious, you must be a long-term investor. I don't have that much patience.

I recieved mine today. I ordered On June 1st and got my shipped-mail today only two hours bofre DHL rang at my door. Most noticeable change to the packaging seems to be a rearrangement of the boxes. Mine arrived in perfect condition, packed onto two boxes, once the tight fitting shipping box, and onthoer with a few air-pockets for extra protection.

It's a good idea to keep a watch on the set. Like the Tumbler, I don't think the retro Batcave will survive more than 2 years. I just hope it doesn't turn into another Arkham Asylum Breakout instead of Tumbler-like performance, Only diff is the AAB was available at nice discounts unlike the Batcave will be.

If you were a girl I surely would never hit on you after seeing your forum username.

Po-leesh remover of ny-eel, plus the fleece tipped scepter of Q-tip should do the trick.

I think I will end up hitting bricklink and just get another head.

I like to be told what to buy and how much tax to pay from complete strangers...[emoji23]

Love these. They're getting more and more whimsical with the vehicle design which fits the product line. Gotta have them all!

Thanos and the infinity gauntlet car is just plain ridiculous. Funny but ridiculous.

In for 3...

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

Built this in the morning. Pretty large when built.

It took me 3 days to build this thing, but the result is magnificent.

I always dismantle first. It's the only way that works for me.

Finished up The Tumbler tonight. Book 4 Book 5 - Complete This thing is a beast. My son thinks it's a big toy, but it weighs a ton and I'm going to have to get it in a case soon.

Lego Shuttle Expedition. A very strange build experience. I took this one on a business trip and quickly realized that the bags were not numbered. I scoured my room for ANYTHING to sort the colors in to, the ice cup (did you know there is the cup and then also a liner cup? Bonus!), the tray for the ice cup, the coffee pot tray, the ice cup liner... the build itself is very different and jumps around a bit to keep the techniques fresh. The landing gear was tedious but works nicely. The bay of mine for some reason does not open and close smoothly, you kind of have to manipulate the edges a bit, but it's mostly for display anyways. I don't get how both astronauts are supposed to fit in the cockpit with the roof closed so if any of you can explain that one to me... Stickers were scary, mainly because they are transparent and fingerprints came in to play. I think they came out alright though and this set is not going away any time soon. End result is great. New conversation piece for the work desk and can fiddle with it while on long meeting calls! Trying to convince my son that this was an actual space ship. He is trying to figure out where the lasers are!

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

Lego Ideas HMS Beagle would be a fitting replacement for the Imperial Flagship. Looks like it's going to make it through to 10,000. I'd purchase that set, easily.
