  2. 70902 Catwoman Catcycle Chase x 31 at $5 each (75% off). 70903 The Riddler Riddle Racer x 13 at $13 each (57% off). One of my local Walmart's is going through a remodel. These two sets were already marked down to $10 and $20 respectively, and they had a lot on hand. I know the manager pretty well, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask for a little more off if I took them all. It was the perfect storm of scoring a mega deal. Total purchase came out to 68% off.

  9. I agree with you. I think LEGO already has changed the way they sell sets. If it sells, it stays...If not...it goes. But at $800, I really don't think LEGO really cares one way or the other if this set sells. It's a "Statement Set." It's the biggest and best and makes for an awesome display piece at stores. With all these new movies with the Falcon in it, it's going nowhere soon in my opinion.

  10. Dragons of Asian lore are typical without wings much like the sea faring Leviathan. I suppose the idea is they soar through the heavens on pure divinity.

  11. here's where the extra money goes (when compares to 10179's MSRP) inflation licensing fee to Disney / LucasFilm. i'm sure it increases regularly. additional bricks, minifigs, stickers, printed elements, etc... projected extra money the Lego suits know they can charge since many SW fans are fanatics. Only problem is ANY $800 MSRP Lego set will sit on retail shelves and warehouses after the initial demand is fulfilled. It's too much money even w/ nice discounts.

  26. Hopefully this move on ToysRUs' part to prevent the use of rewards on "LEGO Construction Sets" will have an inverse reaction and bring back the old days of the Colored tag sales. Ever since the inception of the coupon exclusions for LEGO I rarely set foot in my local TRU. The only times I go now is for my kids so they can spend their xmas and birthday money and even then I show them the fine art of pming and coupons and do my best to prevent them paying TRU's inflated prices.

  27. The next Barnes & Noble sale should provide a decent opportunity to grab some more of these. My two stores are heavily stocked, and nobody buys lego from there. I'm assuming others share the same experience? I think I've only got 4-5 of these. My goal is 12-20.

  29. I think all of the Beatles fans that are going to get this have gotten it. Any future Beatles fans that are AFOLs or future AFOLs that become Beatles or Ideas fans can get supplied by the horde. See Doctor Who sales for performance predictors. I think it was a turd, so I'm bearish on this set, but there are/were supporters of this set who should chime in on the bullish outlook.

  32. If Lego has changed to production by demand then I predict a very long run for this kit because the demand will come from resellers. Fire Brigade, Doll house Death Star, , London Bridge, T1 Camper, etc., etc.. I predict a very long wait for a mature investment on this one. Also don't forget how many years it took for 10179 to reach $5k. My buy in was $400 from Amazon and I was happy to dump them at $800 four maybe five years later? $4K was/is a lot of money to have tied up for that long. I'm dumping my Fire Brigades this year. They will never reach the price of previous modulars. I'm not convinced any modular post Fire Brigade, will. Too many players on the field.

  33. Also this set is going to have a very long shelf life and be basically print on demand. TLG did not want to invest heavily out of the gate on this one. This set is going to determine alot about how this company operates going forward. The 2-3 year cycle is on its last legs.

  35. Got some info today on the Falcon and it looks like it's a complete remake similar to the Death Star remake. Practically identical with some colour changes to rare parts with new radar dish and minifigures. Retail will be $799. Hope everyone has offloaded all of their spare inventory.

  39. Nice review from The Brick Fan. The LEGO Ninjago Movie Green Ninja Mech Dragon (70612) Review Posted: 27 Jul 2017 05:39 PM PDT My reviews of The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets are well underway and I’ve gotten quite a few requests to do a review on the Green Ninja Mech Dragon (70612). It is one of the medium-sized sets in the wave coming in at 544 pieces and retails for $49.99. Minifigures The Green Ninja, aka Lloyd, has a new black and green outfit with some printing going across the chest spelling out the word Ninja. He has a two piece mask however I do with there was Lloyd’s regular hair piece included as well. He has a double-sided head with one side being an angry expression and the other a confused one. His accessory is a sword with a pearl-gold chain tassel which I like. Master Wu has a new white robe with printing of the fasteners going down the middle. He also has a cloth skirt piece with similiar printing. He only has a single-sided head with a stern look. The white beard piece is the same one as before. One thing that is new, however, is the tan straw hat with an updated design. Garmadon, like with his previous versions, has two torsos, one of which has printing of his armor while the other has printing of his ribs. Going over the torsos is a paper robe/cape piece. Garmadon has an evil expression and he wears a large helmet. His accessories include two swords and a laser pointer keychain. If you’ve watched the new SDCC 2017 trailer, you may have seen it in use. Finally we have Charlie who we assume works for Garmadon. The printing of the torso and legs are of a tactical suit. The outfit is not the same as the one seen as my previous review of the Ninjago City Chase (70607) which has some slight differences. His accessory is a fish spear that uses a light-blue fish piece. Build The only build is this set is the Mech Dragon and I will say that it looks fantastic. I haven’t built many Ninjago dragon sets and the only one I’ve reviewed was The Golden Dragon (70503) way back in 2013. Obviously, this set is a huge upgrade and there are many reasons why. The whole dragon comes in a sand green color and has a very organic feel to it when you look at it from afar. Since it is a mech, there are some areas where it looks fairly rigid but it still looks great nonetheless. For the head is probably my favorite part of the dragon. It is attached to the neck using a ratchet joint and it can turn to many positions that make it come alive. There’s a sticker to give some extra detailing. The eyes are actually a trans-green minifigure head that is in a bowl. The mouth is able to open very wide and it also has a tongue that is made from a flag piece. There’s also a lot of pearl-gold pieces including the banana next to the eyes and tooth pieces on top of the head and bottom of the mouth. The neck area has a cockpit for the Green Ninja to control. The panel is a sticker however the trans-green screen is a printed piece. There’s even a clip next to it for the sword as well. The whole neck is on hinged ratchet joints and it can look up fairly high. Going down the back of the Mech Dragon are some black fin pieces for its spikes. In the middle of the body are a couple of hidden thrusters that are able to pop out during flight mode. The panels that open up has a large sticker on it. Both the front and hind legs are on ratchet joints while there are ball joints at the ankles. Using this combination of parts give the Mech Dragon a lot of poseability which I really appreciate. You can get it into a normal standing pose to a crawling one with ease. The front legs have a couple of stud shooters as well. The section behind the body and in front of the hind legs is connected by a Technic pin and it has some swivel in that area but not much. The tail sections have a lot of playability as it has a wheel turning function to make it whip around. It uses some new 2×4 hinged pieces to connect the sections and it actually looks really good when you turn the wheel. Build After building it and staring and swooshing it around for a bit, longer than I should, I will definitively say that The LEGO Ninjago Movie Green Ninja Mech Dragon (70612) is the best dragon set that LEGO has made so far. Although it is a technically a mech, you can’t really tell when looking at it from far away. As I mentioned before, the organic look of it combined with all the sand green and pearl-gold parts is what makes this dragon stand out from other Ninjago dragons that LEGO has made. The price point is spot-on and it is worth picking up even at normal price. The four minifigures are okay but not all of them are exclusive to this set and it’s not a big deal as they aren’t the main focal point. Design: 5/5 Playability: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Check out my reviews of some other The LEGO Ninjago Movie sets: Spinjitzu Training Dojo (70606) Ninjago City Chase (70607)

  42. I didn't buy any. The person that said, "Lego is better than gold" Bring your gold I'll trade you for Lego" I don't plan on buying any, except another 10255, I want to put two of them together to form 1 big one. Other than that I not buying any anymore, the richest man in Denmark got to greedy and they cant forgive, even if your 71 years old. No more investment here. I would love to sell all I have in bins, all of them.
