I'm in the complete opposite situation from most...I'm the wife who wants this! And I don't plan on asking permission...

Mint used SSD for $375 with box and instructions. Already found a place to display it!

Finished up the U-Wing this morning. My son quit about half-way through. Great ship!

I haven't tried to check out, but right now LEGO LEGO Shop at Home is showing the Travel Suitcase free with any purchase (shows up with a 3.99 CMF), which stacks with the free Build to Learn pack at $35. A few minutes ago it stacked with the free Iconic Cave at $50, but now it is showing that the Build to Learn and the Iconic Cave stack at $50. Not the hottest promos, and certainly doesn't compare to the stacking Bank / Snowglobe of a few weeks ago, but two Promos is always nice.

My son was exposed to another money pit at Star Wars Celebration. I spent half the day yesterday figuring out how to play.

I got my $50 box of awesomeness tonight. I have lots of pieces that looks to be a train station. Lots of other pieces not pictured. I love the crane. 2 full sets of working PF Functions, IR, and remotes.

Must have went for some 10188 instead ... looool . U need new friends Aholes need to be burnt down to ashes , a bunch of basketcases.

Is it safe to say that this officially brings the Golden Age of Lego investing and reselling to a close? Between the remakes and all the counterfeits of large sets and the over saturation of resellers you could argue the golden age may have waned a few years ago. However 10179 exemplified the possibilities of reselling and investing and now that it's poised to be replaced with a bigger , better , newer version it would seem the star is coming back down to earth. Oct 1, a new age dawns. I'm excited for this set but at the same time sad to see our star finally burn out .

Finally got around to finishing up the Porsche! Life gets busy!

I don't have to ask for permission, but my wife doesn't either. That's a whole other issue... [emoji856][emoji857][emoji24]

modified spidey bridge to fit trains. I don't have much room for a straight incline ( 4 ft on both sides) so lots of work ahead.

I agree. I've never had any issues with it, and I don't have to worry about knowing export rules or international shipping rates. I've heard that others have had some problems, but it's been fine for me.

Flip'em if you're quick. Found 3 at KMart

My bad...I have issues derailing threads.

You really are flying hi then. AT-TE would be a good buy at $90-$100. $30 is killer, $67 is totally worth it.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but i found this MOC to be very interesting:

I think you´ll be glad in a few weeks you didn´t drop 700 on it. Shows there is still hope for sellers, though.

@fuzzy_bricks checkout the Jang video above that @Val-E posted. That is what I am talking about it doesn't blend in well with the other modulars IMO and it is not a classic Ninjago set. I still plan on trying it with MS on one side since it has the open market area that the water may blend in with and can even add a few trans light blue 1x2s, and GBHQ on the other side for the height. Also I want to see how it is in the movie as I most likely will go that way I can not get to those sets at this time because the table they are on is blocked in by hundreds of lego sets I will probably never sell

Agreed, the boxes for this set have already been printed and with no image leaks seems like they are keeping tighter control. Perhaps this set is only being produced at plant S and/or O. I am sure if it was being produced at R then @boliramirez would at least have a set of MINIFIGURES by now and possibly some images. And if was being produced at the new china plant then pre-sale would be available from the counterfeiters.

Guys, what if this has all been one big diversion campaign, there is no new falcon, and 75192 is actually a toddler-scale pod racer. So bogus bricks will be just as flabbergasted as us when LEGO shocks the world with the real set. We've been smeckledorfed.

70% through Ninjago City what a great build, possibly my favorite of all time. Taking my time, 3 nights so far and catching up on some old movies while building.

I built the Yoda Jedi Starfighter and Darth Vader's transformation the other day and today my daughter built the Ninjago movie Green Dragon. For her birthday she got a variety of LEGO and that was the one she most wanted to build.

Oh the joys of being a recently divorced guy with no kids. I don't have to explain or ask permission for jack squat. I can throw money down for this and be proud of it and not have to worry about a nagging wife hahaha. In your face!!!!!! haha jk guys.

Came back from a few days hols with no Lego brought. 4yr old was itching to build with me so I pulled out a 2nd hand 5867 creator speeder no one wants to buy off me and modified it for left hand drive

That's a free steak dinner buy. My ToysRUs would say, "Thanks for finding this, we can't sell it to you." It would then disappear.

These were available at Target for $50-55 for what seemed like forever. I remember texting a Brickpicker friend "think we'll regret not loading up on these at this price?" I grabbed a few, should have bought a terry dozen.

While I am getting closer to releasing a long overdue update to BrickPicker, now is a good time to release some content that I was hoping to release with the updated site. @belljohn has been talking with Ed and I for a very long time and has spent a lot of time in creating a series of Brickvesting videos that he is happy to share on the BrickPicker YouTube Channel. I am hoping to see this expand this into a bunch of different topic series and welcome any of you that are interested in working on some videos to reach out to me and we can work on it. Set reviews, investing tips, set builds, etc. It's not easy to speak for ~15 minutes, but Brook does an amazing job covering this topic. We will be publishing more videos soon from belljohn. We hope you enjoy it. Who knows, maybe soon you will see Ed showcase his amazing words of wisdom in video. That will be a real treat. View full blog article

Today on OfferUp. $70 would also be great if you guys could help identify them. Big technic is 8285, I see landspeeder but what about other 2 technic sets? Or the 'coast guard" city builds? Thanks.

You should get some recessed lighting. It will look much better

It's a beautiful thing, cheap shipping for seller (not for the buyer), stress free sale.

FYI, the "frustration free packaging" that was on the main listing a few days ago meant that the Saturn V shipped in the original cardboard Lego shipping case, 1 to a case. Arrived 10/10, it's a keeper.

We are all assuming the other set is this year's winter village. Interesting to note that we haven't had a leak for either set yet. Makes you wonder...

I bit at 25 euros, figure it will make a good xmas flip once it is retired and no shops stock it (most have cleared it already).

Mmmm ok yes ... let's say that .....

I'll worry once I watch it . If it is a rehash of episode 5 I'll be pissed . Then again, you would expect the FO to have the upper hand in this one on par with most trilogy series .

This was selling just fine at $140 until the FBA a-holes jumped in.

Here is my one hope for this set: I hope all the hype over this set before and after it's release (and its presumed scarcity) overshadows some of the other newer sets like the Saturn V. That way, consumers will spend all their time thinking about the MF and shopping for it and won't spend time looking for other sets. That = $$$ for us! It would be cool if the MF was a well done model, but there is no way I'm dropping $700 on one.

If it´s a mint original numbered set, residuals should still be well above RRP. Normal NISB will continue to drop in value to around RRP of the new one, or a little below. A lot will depend on how many nervous sellers flood the market in panic. Anyone who bought one for more than RRP and hasn´t sold it yet is going to be in that category, will they hold their nerve and stick it out? How many of them are still out there unopened? Used sets or ones with missing parts or manual/box will be the hardest to sell but there will always be a good part out value as a safety net.

No wonder the Irish used to have such large families.

I have a three year old and 2 eleven month old. Still going to try and justify this to the wife...

I like the "investor" angle on this. Taking that angle further, what about: - Limited Editions. Perhaps you can review a list of special editions, either very limited in run # or first series limited editions like 10179 ..... - Smallest Themes. Review small, short term themes like Scooby, Lone Ranger, Spongebob etc. You could do a top ten list of those - Most valuable themes. Review CAGRs by theme. .

Mine actually came in the original LEGO box. Set box condition is pristine. Seal code is 29R7

Stumbled upon a Jurassic World Raptor Rampage 75917 at a local Toys R Us. It seemed out of place since the series has been off the shelves for months. Scanned the thing and it came up at $0.03. Shocking deal.

According to a German Lego-Blog, a store-employee let slip a few more details, mentioning the weight of the set to be about 15 kg ( 33lbs), making it again a good deal heavier than 10179 (11kg with box and instructions) https://www.promobricks.de/lego-star-wars-ucs-millennium-falcon-75192-karton-soll-15-kg-schwer-sein/39573

It would be cool if the new set included all minifigs who rode in the MF onscreen. ROTJ Lando, ROTJ Numb, Farmboy Luke, nearly any Leia, nearly any young Han plus old, ANH Kenobi, R2, 3PO, Finn, Rey, BB-8, and Chewie. Heck, ESB Lando and Luke could even be used Come to think of it, I don't think Lego had made a Nien Numb mini dig yet.

I've been wondering why the price of these has been so low on Bricklink; I'm glad I checked this thread. There are some great parts in this series for resale. The female hair has been a steady seller for me: I'm buying Harley Quinn to stock up on her valuable bright pink hands. It's forced me to find creative ways to move those torsos:

I've been asked to source a MISB 10179, so would appreciate a PM from any UK based Brickpicker that is looking to offload one at a sensible price. Please PM me if that is you. Thanks.

I found about 5 boxes of series 5 figures at a Walmart after Christmas last year for a buck a pack. Made a few complete sets and let my kids destroy, uh I mean, play with the extras.
