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.

One MF to quick flip.

Hasn't the LEGO primary and secondary markets always been about cardboard and useless ABS plastic?

Boxes are in too good condition.

How long does one need to be married before the wife starts yelling things like that?

So it seems that customer support is pretty clueless. So I already have one, but just for kicks I had a few moments and decided to call LEGO customer support and ask when I might be able to place an order. On the first two calls the service agent only told me they would be getting them available as soon as possible. But they have no date known. The third call led me to someone who said they will appear here and there in store to try and get some on the shelves while they continue sending out the back orders, but likely won't open back up for online or phone orders until 2018 due to the massive backlog of sets they need to create. He may have no idea what he is talking about, but with one sealed at home the profit margin would climb the closer it gets to Christmas if no new orders are available. It will make for a holly jolly Christmas whether I keep it for me, or the price jumps so much that I can get my next one for free.

According to Brickset´s latest article, yes and yes!

Disco Joker looks more like Pimp Joker. Like it

Hey, I think I earned partial credit in imaginary points. This should've been one of the first sets, instead of one of the last. Also, make it a 2-in-1 with instructions for regular Wayne Manor online.

Some of the TRU exclusives are also carried by Barnes and Noble. Wonder Woman is there as well as Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive. Maybe others.

Honestly, with Harry Potter, they can have all the wizards they need. I see this is as the swansong for Nexo, R+D budget is clearly minimal and these sets are just filler to keep the commitment to a 3 year run. Don´t be surprised to see it ending in the summer.

A profit of 34 euro cash is not bad. Especially since it retired last year(?) and there still are quite a few sellers.

Very good point - I wasn’t thinking of in bulk purchases, more like 1 - 3 sets total.

You're right things require balance .. people have been shut down in the forums for posting "hey, who's with me to jack up the price of X" stock manipulation fraudulent returns tax evasion People have discussed them all and more. All of those behaviors upset the balance of the secondary market and portray Brickpicker as a community in a negative way. Most members here do not want that because it is an unfair picture of how most members conduct themselves but as a society, we pick and choose those negative moments as highlights and expressions of how the world is. It's not about an echo chamber, it's about being polite and truthfully many of your comments about resellers make you come across as an ass passing judgement on everyone who does it. We get enough "bad press" from people on other LEGO fan sites and in my opinion (and many of those here) it is unwarranted. They pick one moment in time and label all resellers as "blood suckers in it just to make a buck." People don't want to read (rightly or wrongly) "And this is why people frown upon resellers and their impact on normal availability... not just "providing a service" " because whether you see it or not, your comment implies 1) you don't agree with it and 2) that it should not have been done in the first place. It was not helpful nor conducive to intelligent conversation - I was surprised to read it and was surprised people let it go so easily. I can provide more examples, please don't make me. But let's get something straight - I agree with much of what you say, just not how you say it. That's been said of me as well, but after four years and at least a half dozen members such as yourself coming here and "telling us how the market works and why people hate us" we tire of it and maybe focus on things we shouldn't. Or maybe we should tell members when they're coming across as pompous and arrogant? Maybe they didn't mean to and we're just providing constructive feedback? Let's call that the Ironbrick effect. He's one of the most notorious members to join in the last couple of years who was constantly telling us we were WRONG, INCORRECT and didn't understand a thing about the secondary market (why it exists or how it works). I call it like I see it, I already said that. It's not about thinking I am superior but I'm not afraid to tell someone the truth about what I see (you should get that, you seem to do that as well). It also wasn't directed at you. It was directed at all those comments people on FB and other LEGO fan sites have said over the years about reseller scum. I have no idea who you are or what your situation is - good on you for paying for your kids college. I am quite a small investor around these parts .. most of our disposable income goes to our kids' activities and travel. Anyways, for all those bored with this .. flynnibus, please feel free to reply but I'll take further replies to PM if needed. I've said my piece ... I'm done.

My FREECASH points disappeared last week, only to return Friday with a clear "in store only" clause. Expiring today. I happened to be relatively close to a KMart in KY, so I popped by to check it out. Indeed, worked like a charm ..... Thanks again for the free LEGO, Kmart! Btw, clearance was still at 30% off, and was all dumped on low shelves towards the front of the store. Luckily there's still more clearance hiding on top shelves, and the bigger and better sets for that matter. Might need to keep an eye out

no one really knows, but if TLG can drop the ball on Saturn V, I can completely see them underestimating the demand for this UCS Falcon since it is a 800 dollar set and somehow the number 20k black VIP cards keeps coming up. TLG may have thought 20k was enough to satisfy demand at least until the end of the year. I imagine even if they backfill all the online orders, they will probably not allow any more online purchase until stores begin to carry regular inventory beyond weeks.

Sorry, you're right .. I don't own any of those bootleg fakes so I can only judge on what I see or read. PS Oversized copy is not identical, but now we're getting technical aren't we? What I see is fakes and copies and sellers who are skirting the laws overtly. See, the thing is that you may not agree with the premise of buying for the quick flip around here but it's 100% LEGAL to do so. Copying someone else's product/design without permission, marketing it as the real thing by copying their logo and marketing materials, selling them with the promise of getting around tax laws .... NOT LEGAL. Every single member of this forum who has posted illegal ways of obtaining discounts or selling their product has: 1. had their posts deleted 2. been warned or banned from posting without approval 3. been outright banned from the site My comment is simply ... I love those fan-made products that do not claim to be authentic products. They take a real idea and make it better (I have not the time nor the money nor the desire to collect them, but many do). Licensing? That's an issue for another day .. That local collector that I've traded/bought/sold with showed me on the back of the Takara Tomy boxes the TWO Chinese symbols/letters/words (not sure what to call them, I do not speak Chinese) that are different on the KO packaging. They are buried in the back near the UPC symbol. That is legit unscrupulous branding and packaging. How many people likely have those thinking they are genuine? If those asshats who made bogus bricks made their OWN designs of the UCS Millennium Falcon and it was better, go for it... sell it, make a profit. Then you can deal with Disney and licensing. But when they piggy back their own business plan on the success of someone else ... well, that's poor and unethical if not illegal in many parts of the world. PS I'm not judging you for your beliefs, I'm judging because every single person who has disagreed with you on these forums gets some over the top holier than thou bullshit in response normally avoiding the entire point of the original comments/discussion and directing that conversation in a direction about unsavoury resellers and how nasty we all are. TL;DR When members are asses in the forums, they get modded without question (I'm not perfect, I've been modded myself). Fakes and knockoffs of any kind are not welcome because they're highly questionable, likely unethical and often illegal. Discussion is tolerated because it does affect the LEGO reselling market. That's a pretty bold and jaded statement. Have you ever considered taking a break for a while?

Well that does sound like 100% of the community!

Wondering the same thing? Isn't it good for people on here as investors that these sets, especially the limited ones at Leicester Square, are doing so well? Shows the market is strong. Those 150 are the special ones after all, as none had special first run certificates or anything. So those first 150 are the closest we can get to being "limited edition", surely that's a good thing?

MILF #1 bags. With the help of a few drams of scotch...

Definitely on their last legs, but so are alot of retail chains. 2018 is going to be brutal for brick and mortar. Walmart and Target adapted to shift focus to online, the rest will not be around much longer. Lots of chains we all grew up with will vanish by 2019. Amazon will be broken up by the Feds but Bezos has been prepping for this eventuality for many years and has been diligently separating all of their brands from each other. Kmart, Sears, Toys R US, Macys, Kohls will all be history. Amazon will also take out Autozone, NAPA etc within 5 years. The big clothing chains were already destroying themselves prior to Amazon so Wardrobe will pick them off extremely quickly. Costco and Kroger should last a bit longer, but just a bit. Their online offerings are a joke.

Maybe my hope for a Wayne Manor set will be realized. For its time in the movie and promos, I found it odd that it wasn't produced.
