If this is TRU Bricktober its the best in a while https://www.promobricks.de/lego-toysrus-bricktober-2017-lego-batman-movie-minifiguren-5004939/40650

First Impressions.... Love the box...Classic black. Red orange planet looks awesome. Font is professional and worthy of the UCS title Limit 5...They have plenty to sell and this will be around for awhile Minifigures...I wish they had Luke, R2 and Obi-Wan thrown in, but it is an obvious hint to another future EMPIRE STRIKES BACK set Ship...Very nice upgrade over the 10179. As expected, some minor, but appreciated inner details, but more than enough to satisfy me. The two dishes are a great option. Effect on the 10179...Short term...BIG HIT...Long term...Not so much. The two sets are different enough that there will be collectors in the future that want the 10179, especially the First Edition. No special edition of this set hurts it IMO. That was a home run collectible set. Now, it's just one of many others which could be around for a long time. Price point...I like it...Keeps the dilettantes away. Overall. I'm not happy with any remake, but if you are going to do it, do it right. LEGO did it right.

Thought I would quickly share with everyone the small Batman display I've pulled together. Check it out: Had to find a good way to display the Lego Batman CMFs, so I brick built the LBM logo and added all 20 minifigures across the logo. Select figs have a small Batman logo on their stand. All Batman baddies ever made are displayed above in the Rogue's Gallery (posted before), and I mounted the big figs and the Brickheadz directly to little stands that I nailed to the wall. LBM vehicles are in the shelves below. Next on my to-do list is to build a display for all of the Batman minifigures ever released. My idea is to mount them on a background that's modeled after Wayne Tower. Robin minifigs we'll be on the lower levels, and Batman figs will be in the upper sections. Hope this spurs some creative ways to display minifigure collections! Will post more as it's completed.

After trying not to buy much lately, I've found a few decent deals that I couldn't pass. Used, 99% complete Sopwith Camel, no instructions - $25 Sealed 4736 Harry Potter Freeing Dobby set and sealed 7913 Clone Trooper Battle pack - $10 total. And the buy I'm most happy about: Green Grocer, Town Hall, Fire Brigade, Grand Emporium, Pet Shop, Town Plan, and 7938 Passenger train. All are built and dusty, appear to be mostly complete, and there were no instructions - $300

PORGS!?!?!

This will certainly be a raffle prize for this years ST. PAUL LEGO Raffle!!!

And husband's when their wives' do the same.

Few more

I think I have a good chance to buy Ed's 10179s for $400 now.

There is no doubt this is great news for the kids in all of us, but as a collector and investor, this represents a sea change in the investing landscape. I am getting one Day 1 too. Maybe this is the right spot to place my latest BrickPicker YouTube video. "Lego Investing: Are Buying Big Sets the Best Investment"

Who in the US is waiting for the next Prime day?

I really just want one of those LEGO boxes with wheels and a handle. If I have to buy one of these sets to get one, I guess I will suck it up.

Lets break this down. 10179 = 5,197 pieces 75192 = 7,541 pieces 45% increase in piece count. 10179 retailed for $500 in 2007. Adjusting for the 45% increase in piece count: $500 * 1.45 = $725 Then, let's adjust the $725 for inflation: $725 is $850 in 2017 dollars. https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=725.00&year1=200710&year2=201707 So at $800 MSRP the set is already on sale! BUY BUY BUY We all thought we'd never see a $500 set at retail and now we have a $800 one. What will be the first $1,000 set?

First.. correlation doesn't mean causation. Lego was in trouble and it wasn't due to lack of inflated sales due to speculation. Sure the new speculator sales help immediate revenue, but like all sugar rushes, it's not real, nor is necessarily healthy. Lego pivoted in what they were selling and what brands they were licensing - that is what turned Lego around... not scalpers. People have been buying "boxes of plastic" for entertainment for decades. Speculators don't create a market - they obfuscate it. If anything, one would argue it's more harmful as it creates a false view of the market that is unsustainable. I bet 99.999% of Lego buyers have no idea they can resell their sets when they are done as anything but "a box of misc legos". Sure, the UCS and other limited run sets are a different market and those buyers are different. But I'd wager that most fans still don't buy with the idea of flipping or 'selling for appreciation'. Most just know there are secondary markets where they can get sets that are NLA. The "investor" crowd only works when you are ahead of the curve or can influence availability. With Lego re-releasing sets, the availability angle disappears. With the decade or so now of the flipper behind us... there is no more 'ahead of the curve'. Lego isn't producing for the speculators... so when someone groans about their piece that used to be an exclusive showing up in other sets.. boohoo.

I was working on a new book "LEGO Investing For Dummies" I have decided to change the title to "LEGO Investing Is For Dummies"

I was hoping for this to be the box art, I mean look at the design of that thing. It is far superior than the one we will be given.

Right now, there is no helping the 10179. It's a race to the bottom. People who keep it, want it and won't sell it anyway. But at some point, the bottom will be hit and a buying opportunity will arise from the ashes. Some prudent investors/resellers/speculators might take advantage of this and do well with the 10179...a second time. There will be people who want them all. To an anal LEGO elitist jerk like me, displaying them all is the only way to go. Go big or go home...

That was quick shipping

This is what i'm going to do with mine

Current situation on ebay with 10179 price.

So many kids are going to be disappointed when their parents tell them to bugger off after seeing the price.

Disney logo needs to be bigger

Where can I order a new cover page for my copy of the Mack's book? Needs to show the Taj Mahal now ......

You met any 2 year old's recently, this isn't for them. This is what 2 year old's do with Duplo. Apparently this was a boat.

Got my 2 from Toys R US Today in the Lego Box, perfect condition, with Gift cards got both for $100.00 each.

Drag it? Who said drag it? Those wheels will never hit the pavement when I buy one! Too nice to mark up.

LEGO has killed "Special" - and it will never be coming back again. People can try blaming websites, resellers, and the fakes - but none of these things could even come close to what LEGO has done to themselves.

No so much? Sorry, but unless by long term you are talking post apocalypse - you are being extremely generous with your optimism. These are some very sad times for LEGO investors.

Just looking at this initial picture and observing all the great sets in the background... Slave 1, Vader's Tie Advanced, the Stormtrooper Helmet... wait what? Is this an unreleased set or an indication of something to come?

The entire FF II wave is now up on Kmart.com and none are hot buys.... http://www.kmart.com/search=lego?sortOption=PRICE_HIGH_TO_LOW&catalogId=10104&kmartTab=true&shipping=true&frmPg=dis&storeId=10151&levels=Toys %26 Games

I'm glad I never went down the Bricklinking road I considered.

RIP 10179.

Seems legit. 2 dishes, all the minifigs you could expect and an interior. Take my money at 70% off.

You are such a nerd

Haven't seen these reported yet!

Hi everyone! I'm new to posting on BP but have been lurking for awhile now. below are a few pics of a MOC that I originally made to be a center piece to my daughter's LEGO elf village. It never really got finished because she decided to use it as a night light! Now if course my son would like something as well. For the lighting I used shapeable wire Christmas LED lighting. I hunted around online for some model lights but everything was pretty pricy. Any suggestions on good deals out there or any suitable alternatives? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Limited to the number of Falcons made.

Finally put AoH on sale when they announce the new Falcon. Nicely played Lego.

I just finished watching your video and I have to agree with those salient points regarding the drop in the large sets. I was fortunate that the modulars I own I got at more than 30% off rather than full retail and have no duplicates aside from a discounted Pet Shop. The nature of the game has indeed changed. Now, if only I had more shelf room or space larger than an apartment.

BINGO. never bite the hand that feed$ you. Folks like Jang need both YouTube and Lego to keep their current biz model going (regardless whether it's for the $, exposure to get cool Lego swag, side hobby, fame, etc...).
