  1. Showed the wife the eBay sold listings for this and the giveaway train set she built with the kids during Christmastime last year...She says she's never building anything ever again. She is in disbelief.

  2. Futhermore, no stores should price match clearance (it's against their policies) for obvious reasons - This is considered an unethical thing to attempt and is highly frowned upon in the Brickpicker community. The person in the Facebook group is sleazy, and worse for bragging about it.

  4. After the unfortunate recent events in Texas and Louisiana with Hurricane Harvey, I just want to let Brickpickers who live in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina know that we are thinking about them. I know our thoughts mean very little in the grand scheme of things, but get the Hell out of danger. You can always replace a LEGO set or TV...You cannot replace yourself. I am praying for you. Be safe and let that witch go out to sea... Ed and Jeff.

  9. As someone who lives just about dead center on Irma's path, just going to say it's been fun guys. I can't really leave the state so I'm just going to hunker down as best I can. Hopefully I can return with as much good news as soon as possible. All of us here are just hoping for bad instead of catastrophic. This is probably the most scared I've ever been living in Florida 17 years. Stay safe everyone especially since I know that there are other BPers in the TB/west coast area.

  12. $38 dollars for the pieces. Hell I have most of the odd colored pieces in one $20 set. Some of you know which set already! . Nothing special at all. Only a fool would buy at this price. But the world is full of them!!

  17. Lines at gas stations, water at the stores gone, Home Depot? Isle with plywood and other boards is empty, people sitting on carts waiting for delivery. Oh boy, I chose "perfect" time to move to Florida from a cushy IL. I've been here 3 months, fortunately I'm staying in 2 story concrete townhome. Got water, food, outside is my pick up truck that I'm hoping won't get destroyed. All my Lego sets were brought today from storage to the house, tomorrow I'll take them upstairs. Im a reseller scum but if I get stuck upstairs, no power, flooded first floor....I'll be doing a lot of Lego building...

  18. Let's be honest, when you've got: You have Chima sets still on the shelf, that have been retired for 2+ years, and they're still marked above RRP, You don't automatically PM your website (and PM'ing negates coupons and other discounts), You jack up the prices above RRP so that your sales aren't really sales, You have so many exclusions on your coupons, that you need a magnifying glass to read them, Your jacked up prices cause people to just go to the other big box store (Target, Walmart) that sells LEGO in the same shopping center ...you're gonna have trouble staying in business.

  19. Thanks for creating a feed! Many of my loved ones are in the NC,SC, and FL area. A few tips if you live in the many expected flood zones. Your dishwasher is like a "flood safe". You can save things you have to leave behind like pictures,small safes, sentimental items, and of course important documents etc. It is waterproof and secure. Also if you are expecting a power outage (which I would) and are staying, your washing machine makes a great fridge. Fill with bottled water, drinks (whatever you need refrigerated.) top with ice. Keep the lid closed. Should keep you good for a couple of days and the water simply runs out.

  20. I kind of doubt it. There was apparently a big run on this set this week as someone (or multiple people) bought them up to corner the market. I just don't see the end consumer paying more. Also, many of these sets will be returned. I think I had about five returned last year due to "too small", and these were probably sold for around $100 each.

  26. Seems no one is interested in the used ones. I wonder who will start buying the expensive ones still on the market expecting them to double in price within a week? Guessing that the end game of the buyer is to unload them ay 80-100 USD undercutting the few sets that are still listed and then gradually upping the price but you need buyers for that too. One final point - you needed to spend 65 euros to get this set and it´s worth looking at how the items bought to get it are performing. If someone bought a 10188 Death Star or Red 5 at fulll whack, they´ll be losing money hand over fist on the whole deal.

  27. This is BP's way of telling you, that it's too soon to buy even for flipping! :-). On a serious note these are everywhere despite huge demand. Last thing you want is to be tying up capital and be holding so many with it still being around for at least the next 2 years.

  28. Something is dodgy as FUDGE. This has happened over the past bunch of days, someone (or several people together) must have decided to vacuum and own the market for this set, probably for the upcoming Xmas?

  29. Some of the Gingerbread Houses will probably be returned (and then hopefully you can sell it for even more). Some uninformed buyers think that big price means big set.

  30. I don't think the 75192 will ever be considered iconic. Largest doesn't mean special or best...just largest. There will be very little emotional connection with this set in comparison to the 10179 IMO. Mark my words on this date...Once the 10179 hits rock bottom, it will appreciate (% wise) better than the 75192.

  34. I don't see it like you guys. I think this is going to follow the path of the prequel trilogy, instead of the OT. Ya see Disney has a "LONG TERM" plan! The long term plan is to not just create 1 trilogy but multiple trilogies. So, this is just my prediction, but I think we will see Kylo and Rey switch sides by this film (or the beginning of the next one), but in the end Rey follows the path of Anakin and becomes the "Cersei Lannister/New Vader" of the Galaxy. Kylo will try and stop her but fail. Snoke might die, Hux might get offed. Leia will die. But I have a feeling Finn and Poe survive, and maybe Luke does but he's at the end of his rope by episode 9... Then we will all be like "I can't wait for episode 10, 11, 12" and it will never end... and we will have 5.6 million new lego sets to buy, and 50,000 new black series characters and the character arcs will be slightly different. So, I don't see the resistence winning by episode 9, instead I see it in a state like it was after episode 3, which will set the stage for the next trilogy in which a new jedi order will rise perhaps from Luke Skywalkers real redemption, that will not occur in this trilogy.

  37. I feel like people will be confused with a Star Wars movie so soon after the last one and no new one coming for a year and a half. I don't know if they are testing the waters to see how people would respond to multiple Star Wars movies in a year without actually committing to that. I thought I heard it's because of the Avatar sequels, but it's looking like those are nowhere to be found.
