That lady should be running a LEGO store. She knows how to sell.

Should have invested in corn last week . Predicting a popcorn shortage in the next few days .

Are you really still here? Why don't you write what I really said? I said it could be $1500 set or. $600 set, it all depends on the remake. You are such an ass.

Picked this up last January. Finally opened it up and built it last night and today. I have a bunch of similar colours in my parts bin, thinking I might MOC up a bit more of a scene and move it to a shelf. Love the style and colours, rather disappointed I missed on this theme when it was around at retail.

Here's the thing... for me to buy at retail price--because let's be honest, I can't conjure 30% off magic on a big set like this unlike other members--I would have to sell it for ~$750 to achieve the profit margin I seek. I can get to that margin faster with small sets. Yes, it's more "work" to sell many small sets in place of one big one, but the times they are a'changin', and no one wants to stare at a big, beautiful SW exclusive gathering dust for years. I have one packed away for me when the time comes, but none as "investments." Stay nimble and stay alive. It's my strategy and I don't expect it to work for everyone.

I'm glad I flipped my 10 Death Stars into two Sandcrawlers.

Counselling?

In that case, we'll definitely need to do a cover of Tommy Tutone's "Jenny." D-S-7-5-1-5-9 Would seem appropriate since (1) if the writing was in fact on the wall for this remake, it was on a bathroom stall, and (2) the design and/or marketing team was likely in the bathroom when they hatched this remake... BTW, first post. Really enjoy the site. Lots of good info and you all crack me up.

This is hysterical to me. My takeaway, in case you didn't know, there's a new one coming out and if you look into it, you can save yourself some grief by waiting.

I'm just here to post a countdown...

Wow. I thought it was more obvious. My entire post was a direct quote from The Godfather. I guess no one has a classical education these days.

Even though I've been waiting to crack open Cinda's castle, tonight I was watching the dark knight, and thought to myself, it's about time I crack one of my tumblers open, they aren't making any money at the moment so I might aswell get some enjoyment out of it!! Book 1 finished tonight, relatively complex build but very enjoyable so far!!

75159... What's between 7 and 5? 6 What's 1 plus 5? 6 If you flip 9 upside down...what number is it? 6 666...The number of the Beast and the end of LEGO as we know it...

Wow, When it rains it pours............. Another killer find. 40 lb tote of mixed lego themes (Harry potter, SW, City, Indy etc.), including a ton of instructions. As well as 4 built and complete modular w/instructions...........Town Hall, Grand Emporium, Palace Cinema and Pet Shop. Total caost $400.............

It sure feels like it's been remade.

I had my contact at Lepin hacked into LEGO's server and check their planned response to 75159...

Is the designer still alive? It was like a decade ago they designed the set!

I just phoned my local Lego store and the cheeky sod try to sale me a 10188 at RRP !! I said you must be joking mate !!! ;o)

Actually, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls...

Buy low fellas

oh well...

If she answers, you're onto something.

To be fair, they had to add the cheese slope to bring the DS up to code. We don't want any minifigs stubbing their... toes... on a bare stud.

I'm so glad you showed up. This horse has been beaten beyond death and it's always more fun in a two-horse race.

I think @dcdfan accidentally liked the post above or he's throwing likes around to hit his daily limit

I think it's time to start hoarding these. I hear it's going to retire soon.

Folks, I hate to break it to you, but the sky ain't falling and the four horsemen of the Lego investing apocalypse aren't charging down the road. DS is one set. If you're so weak in the knees that a single set is going to do something you didn't expect, you should head for the exit and forget about ever wearing big boy pants. In the grand scheme of things, DS is a blip.

FBA MEA : 40$ Wizard Battle : $40 AT-AT : $250 Mico MF : $41 Technic Bulldozer : $80

There is a belief that the new box implies that it's sticking around and that since SOH didn't receive the new box, it's going. I seem to have fallen into both ideas at one time or another.

I can say, definitively, yes.

Just grabbed another off Ebay..($285)... might need to get into Lego counseling. I JUST agreed to the Wifey no more buying this month. Now I bought 2 sandcrawlers in one day. One of y'all take me me in, if she throws me out? I am a great Lego building partner!

2x Elves Azari and the magical bakery 41074 (after less than 6 month hold) Buy-in $7.42 ea (WM), sold for $34.36 ea (Amazon), profit $12.95 ea Glad I gave a few Elves/Friends sets a chance. I also have 4 Dolphin Cruisers I'm looking forward to selling this Christmas (buy-in $17 ea).

I can't wait to see the designer video. I think it will be done by 2 people: The designer who is awkwardly trying to muster up every ounce of enthusiasm about his improvements. And the overly enthusiastic graphic designer who points out every single minute new print on the minifigs and the new accessories.

Playset vs. display set.

in for 2 more at walmart in store pick up in tax free NH. last 2 times I did this i received mint sets in cases. up to 10. might get a couple of more when it gets down to F5 time. this meets all the criteria I look for in a Star Wnrs set for investment. my kid is already asking me when they can order the Ferrari from all the riches that will unfold from this decision.

It seems we've hit the anger stage... They don't need to go in order.

How dare people on this forum disagree with my opinion and also claim to be the smarter than me I must argue with them everywhere and never read the comments they put unless replying sarcastically or placing a meme .

First line - Yes, from the perspective of the ridiculous. Second line - Than you should certainly already know that I am correct. Third line - You are clearly the most brilliant person I have ever met. (I would state sarcasm, but I will assume that your gifted insight will allow you to read into that).

Cue the "should I get a Sandcrawler or 2 Pet Shops" questions.

Crap! Now Amazon can unretire them too.

death star better than SSD.. i respecfully disagree

I built the 10252 Limited Edition VW Beetle one-two weeks ago and I have enclosed a picture below. I am willing to sell this set for $150US because it's an extremely limited edition and this set is only available if you have the unique knowledge or contacts of the Lego design team. Photo: . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ok, it's just a 10252 Beetle with three extra cheese slopes: Two "speed holes" on the front hood and one on the back.

These aren't on the list: 10234 - Syndey Opera House 10242 - MINI Cooper 10249 - Winter Toy Shop 70751 - Temple of Arijitzu 75095 - TIE Fighter 76052 - Batcave Anyone got the link to the 'Retiring Soon' thread?

Lego investors drive off into retirement.

Maybe this would be more fitting
