Amazon 75059 - Star Wars: UCS Sandcrawler - $236.76 - (21% off)

I married someone whose Venn diagram of interests with me doesn't have a huge overlap. She watches the Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars and I watch Supergirl and the Flash. I listen to 80s music she's firmly in today. She just never had an interest in the good stuff. Lol

Probably this year's election.

This is how I sell my Lego watches, usually in the TRU parking lot...

Hi there guys, I havent posted in a while but thats not because I haven't been building, I have just been away with work! I have a couple of builds to share with you starting with this... It is my recreation of the final scenes from Revenge of the Sith. As with all my MOCs I have kept this on a 16x16 base. Here it is in comparison to the actual scene from the film... Quite a fun build this, especially making the Death Star look like it is in the early stages of construction. And I loved the fact I could use the new style Vader and Tarkin (From A-Wing vs Tie Advanced set) as I think they are two really good looking mini figs. I took the figures off for these shots to show the detail on the panelling. Finally, It is impossible to resist as selfie! As always I hope you enjoy and any feedback would be greatly appreciated! More builds on the way!

ZOINKS!!! Haunted Lighthouse, Mystery Machine are OOS - Call to check USA LEGO Shop at Home.

I am trying to figure out where to move this discussion. TBH, the discussion has been too civil for the bubble thread

all 3 for the win. dollar cost averaging down on the cusp of EOL. it's the stuff of dreams. our grandchildren will speak of this day.

Especially for those of use that picked them up at full price earlier in the year. Talk about a kick in the nards!

Brand new sea cow didnt get this as I was getting into lego new sealed $287

Wash your mouth out Tabby, EV is in a different league to the Hoth 5 in 1 Superpack.

This thread is letting me know which sets I need to return, not buy.

Keeping an eye out. Are you kidding me that White House stays around another year? What will it take for that set to bite the dust?

The Vampyre Castle didn't have the "Velma Factor".

Folks, make sure u are clicking the appropriate affiliate links for your purchases .

One thing to keep in mind about all of these discounts on exclusives is that we are now in an environment where there are a lot more people tuned in to the potential of these types of sets and they are likely to be hoarded to a much greater degree than any in the past. Add in discounting on them and that is likely to accelerate. Personally, I'm done with the large exclusives after watching the prices of many of my recent purchases languish below 2x RRP after EOL.

None ..lol i love my SC

yes the amount of discounted sets these days is a bit worrisome.

Fairground Mixer 10244 is $100.94 on Amazon.

Oh man, I hope there are pants under that coat...

With either of the next candidates in office, that set will be devalued for the next 5 years.

Just watched this interesting and informative video about some of the current and recent Lego licenses and how they had been used by other construction brands in the past. Of special interes, Doctor Who, Yellow Submarine and Scooby Doo.

600 sellers on Amazon?

The 1% has all the advantages, even in Lego hoarding!

patiently waiting for 10247 Ferris Wheel to drop in price as well. these price drops are really making DVIP and promos look like....well......child's play.

Just for people that picked these up at retail. Some of us remember the days of exclusives being on discount. I fondly recall $119 FBs.

FM for $100. ;-)

"Saying stole is just too easier"...? Just2Good lost some street cred with this video. He repeatedly stats that TLG "stole the license". As we all know a toy manufacturer must "purchase" license rights to manufacture a toy line based on that license/franchise. LEGO simply won the license. I actually do not see any issue with multiple toy manufacturers with the same license. Perhaps there's an "exclusive license" for toy manufacturers as well. Either way. I've seen better from Just2Good.

It depends on the set. Popular sets that sell out at retail can be very profitable. Retired sets can have dips due to more people selling around the holidays (a good example is haunted house at halloween). Basically if your flipping new sets xmas can be very profitable, if selling retired sets it won't matter much or may be better to wait until Jan when gift cards are getting spent.

When it comes to Star Wars UCS I'd rather donate to a resellers profit margin for a back catalogue UCS set than give Lego money for AoH. I'm resigned to the fact that as a bit of a completionist I'll have to pick it up at some point but I'm exhausting all other options first and waiting for a deep discount.

Terry obviously isn't wearing pants while he's fondling all those Friends sets. Oh you mean the photo that he posted

Not a deal but yellow submarine is available at LEGO Shop at Home. https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Yellow-Submarine-21306

FM will look great if there's a new Carousel to go with it next year.

Hard for me to like this when I want it to be selling for more.

Limit 1 Going to complain to my rep about this travesty. Going to pass on this one anyway!

Bring back the Rovers!

Buyer network activated. (No business account) In for 6-8 Mixers.

@BrickLegacy - that's exactly what I was thinking when I posted my response. Go Monster Squad!

When you didn't know your neighborhood has a bad element, you're probably the element.

That´s why I toned it down for you good folks.

Many adult collectors stop buying for themselves around Christmas (to spend on others) & most kids want what they see in commercials. So for sales of rare pricey Lego sets, I always notice changes - although if someone is a flipper, it's likely a great time. The Christmas holidays will always bring the most overall sales (and headaches) - I much prefer the Jan, Feb post Christmas period.

Its a good video, i like just2good content. Regarding his title, yes might be abit clickbait, but seeing some other video titles on youtube its ok. It could have been "Lego EXPOSED - Manipulating others - prank gone wrong in hood gone sexual etc etc"

Hi guys, here is my latest MOC. Its a recreation of the final scenes of Revenge of the Sith - one of the most iconic images from the Prequels I would say! Hope you enjoy.

I think we shouldn't confuse interest in an item and qfll potential. Yes this set is highly anticipated in UK, however there will only be qfll potential if ALL shops sell out (SAH + supermarkets + independent B&M shops + TRU etc). People have already started to undercut each other on ebay and are selling for £59.99 + postage in uk. The real money was made by the people who managed to get this set from lego liverpool last week. You can make money if bought from tesco 3 for 2, however the amount of money is not alot considering the set is only selling for £60 shipped, after p&p / fees etc you end up with not alot. The only reason technic porsche did good was it was only available from lego stores in person, as all SAH orders were delayed for 1 month + no other store except lego sold it for first 1/2 months. This set is NOT exclusive to Lego, so is not limited at all.
