  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.

  21. 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.

  25. Walmart Canada cleared these out at 20-25% off months ago, including the Simpson's House, Kwik-e-Mart, and Palace Cinema.

  26. Ok so time for a revised thermometer test following recent news: 99% sure: Simpsons sets, TIE Fighter, Palace Cinema, WInter Toy Shop, Batcave, ToA, SHIELD, AoH, Ferrari F40 (10) 50% sure: Slave1 (1) outside bets: T1, Tower Bridge, Minecraft Village, Mini, Parisian Restaurant, Fairground wheel (6) Seems we could get another bumper retirement year like 2014.

  29. 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?

  37. The AFOL in me loves this set. The investor in me knows the chance of a batcave appreciating nicely is small since one is released every 2-3 years with very little duration in- between the old being totally sold-out at retail and the new one arriving If any batcave should appreciate, it's this one. However, I view buying this for investing as high risk / low reward. I'm forcing myself to pass even at $200 each. The buy-in would need to be $125-$150 for me to buy 2+.
