Wasn't expecting another big set from this line myself, looks interesting! https://www.brothers-brick.com/2017/09/26/70922-joker-manor-lego-batman-movie-officially-revealed-news/

I bought Jokerland for the Batmobile, Starfire, and Beast Boy

This is my favorite part: Ever the spurned boyfriend, he can't manage to part with his ex-girlfriend's stuff...

that's odd that was in July's wave. Course they like to stagger them throughout the country now. Next wave is below. Few others like Turtle and another one I can't remember at moment. More of the recirculation of poly's already available other places but a few neat ones. Santa should be B&N / Target again like last few years.

Everything except for the castle pretty much

"The Joker Steamroller is the new hot toy for this Christmas season. The number of popular Batman Characters and its relatively cheap price combine with an excellent batwing to make a set that every boy will love."

Well, I sold all four of my Gingerbread Houses on Amazon FBA for $709. Missed my goal of paying for the MiLF with free Lego, but close!

I'm calling this as the precursor to a Fairgrounds Rollercoaster set in 2018.

I could totally imagine a medieval monster hunter type theme. Old school Castlevania atmosphere, paladins, dark knights, powerful wizards, clerics and adventurers hunting vampires, werewolves, gorgons and other beasts. One thing was sure for LEGO in recent years: people dig monsters, and a theme like this could be more relatable to people than nexotrash.

I haven't been this entertained since someone last posted that their backorder flipped it in process then back to no stock whatchamagiget

A vanilla Castle theme was tried a couple years ago and met with nigh moderate approval altogether. I would imagine something about the concept and general feel behind Nexo Knights and Ninjago have been received well enough to continue forward. Genre mixing has and continues being popular in all forms. Why be stuck under the confines of a strict rule set (aka reality) when a realm of unlimited potential can be born from one's imaginative mind's eye. If anything that is the LEGO Company's core concept and perhaps what attributes to such themes ongoing popularity. Also the level of technology helps these themes to be more relatable with the targeted audience of the present day world.

Just finished up ucs y-wing. I like this build, the detail on the ship is well done. It seems to hold up against repeated fuzzball attacks too! (I'm fostering those guys for local spca)

I tried to find a good .gif for "selling out the back door", but most of the hits returned were of Farrah Abraham. Not the back door I was looking for...

It´s directly proportional to your income.

While the design is based on the structure in the movie, this also feels inspired by or at the least similar to that one humongous Joker's Funhouse MOC from a while back. Hopefully those new coaster track pieces are a good indicator of what we can expect to see from LEGO's fairground theme and perhaps some other sets as well.

You got fish in your shoes!!

Not Modular, but I like it, I'm not normally for halfsies on the buildings. Everyone loves the Joker and a fun Playset to boot. Rollercoaster! http://nerdist.com/lego-batman-set-joker-wayne-manor/

I'm pleasantly surprised by this set. Plus, this gives me hope for a Creator Fairground roller coaster (to go with the Ferris Wheel, Carousel and Fairground Mixer) in 2018. Especially since it looks like they have some new elements....the purple coaster track and lime green roller coaster train.

It was sold by Amazon, LLC, and came from an Amazon warehouse. The only other one I've gotten from Amazon came in the LEGO carton, which was fine because it is a very sturdy box. The two I got from SAH were also shipped in the LEGO carton but inside a shipping box as well. I've never seen Amazon ship LEGO without a shipping box before, so this was a nasty surprise.

You mean the start of the non silly season when prices are hopefully more realistic?

Friends don't let friends sell on the street just the bay

I'm just happy pseudoty will have another wave to keep the master collection going.

oh goodness, here comes the 'i want classic castle!!!!!' discussion again. it's not happening!!

After getting one from Amazon without a box, I sent it Back. "Whenever I order one now I call Amazon up and tell them I want it sent in a box, and the last 3 have come in one of those perfect Lego Boxes and all were mint, So if you get one on Amazon call them up right away and them them. Here is the shortcut phone number. 1-866-216-1072

Finally got a hold of instructions for my little Record Store. Now just waiting for the stickers to come in. Cute little Modular.

Picked up a 310 Esso Station recently and got round to building it. It's in really nice condition for it's age, probably around 55 years old.

Just get an extra large doily to hide it until it's time for cash money.

Give that mouse time....

"Do you need a Chima Firebike?"

Usually one of you has to die first.

By watered down I meant there are just too many sets. I believe there are 18 sets not counting CMFs, polybags, and this new Joker Manor. This is on top of any super hero Batman sets out now. They are all good sets for the most part but with so many it's tough for one or two to stand out. Where is the investment winner in this line? I thought the target set had a chance but it's hanging around too long. Jurassic World had 5-6 sets? Most have been winners. I know that's not a lego movie but 18+ sets is Star Wars territory. Lego Batman ain't Star Wars.

Isn't that....Monster Hunters theme?

So you've been reading the same thread I have lol. According to someone else with authority on the matter, the "Shop Your Way Superstore" concept that was in testing may be coming to play. With Elmhurst IL being a testing ground (would explain why they closed the Kmart there, it was top 10% in the chain)

Thanks for all the advice. I have complained to Amazon both about the packaging (There was none!!!) and about the order. They are offering me a 30% refund if I keep it. I think I will keep it and build it. I'll still be snagging as many as I can get. Normally I'm a QFLL'ing fool looking for cash flow, but this is one set I'm buying and holding. I'm certain even a "used" version of this set built for display will appreciate just fine and with the buy-in price I'll end up with, I'll get well over what I paid for it if I ever decide to sell it after it retires to the secondary market. (This of course is the problem with being a fan first and investor second - one can always talk oneself into opening a box!).

Got an offer of €90 cash for 75052 (Mos Eisley Cantina). That's original (Dutch) RRP for this set, while my buy-in was €56. Was expecting a bit more love for this set, considering the unique max-fig (Dewback) but oh well. Freeing the money for new purchases is also good.

happened to me too, my thoughts exactly.......

just because it's in production doesn't mean it will be easy to acquire in bulk. it's been in production 4 months already. demand is no where near met and that can't even offer any to sell. definitely that's more than 10% of its life has passed by if you were to say that the set was going to stick around for 38 months which would be a long production life. how many more 10%'s before you start to get worried that you hadn't been stocking quite possibly the coolest lego set of all time for afol? also if you read between the lines, emazer's is hoarding saturn's to the point that he's on the phone with amazon telling jeff how he'd like things done.

Any of those TRU exclusives worth picking up at these prices? I still need the Wonder Woman set.

Here's the really important question, am I going to get my green mech dragon poly bag? I made a total rookie mistake and didn't order a key chain or anything to get my freebie to ship.

The only thing blocking a normal castle theme, or space theme for that matter, is Lego.

7 days thereafter, starting on Fridays

Thanks, I was just getting ready to post it: https://www.toysrus.com/search?q=99839sep17

I didn't see it listed,maybe I am late to the party but it looks like all the TRU exclusives are 20-30% off online.

14x smooshed sealed complete disney minifigure sets sold over the last 2 months - no returns or complaints about mis-iD'd figs on amazon - FBA $129.99 . This is a $30 premium over the opened and ID'd set price which are going for $99. these are super easy to smoosh id. i was the only one FBA'ing under the sealed set listing for a while so that was nice. still have more for the long haul i think these are going to well.

Picked this up today and built it ...

That poor little boy, bottom right, in the yellow shirt. He needs his own festival.
