Women of Nasa. It's the new 2018 calendar I'm ordering. I hope my wife doesn't get jealous.

Like an idiot, I first tried scanning the barcode on the scanner itself without success before a nice employee showed me the scanning gun attached to register. Worked like a charm after that. Picked up a 75151 Tank for son as Xmas gift. Side story: Nice old, 80+ grandma was creeping down LEGO aisle and fixed her eyes on the 75190 FO Finalizer. Bent down to see $159.99 price and just slowly mumbled "you gotta be sh*ttin me. He's getting a basketball instead." Poor Timmy.

Too much other crap to sell. Spaceports can wait.

After 2 hours with customer service trying to find what happened to my Palace Cinema (88 dollar cyber monday deal). They determined that it was forever lost. And out of stock. They escalated me to level 2 then level 3 customer service. In the end, got left with a refund of cash plus 100 dollar courtesy credit for me to spend to get a brick bank or anything else I want to get from their amazon prime line up. Not bad.

I still can’t find my last spaceport. “hidden gem”, indeed

these spaceports are doing great. quick post EOL bump from the BN 50% off + 5% member discount + discount gc deals earlier this year. recent fba: $12 buyin city snowplow trucks for $49 quickily. even the porta potty truck is getting $49 now. sold through a dozen $12 buyin scooby doo planes for $44 and $9 buyin scooby mummies for $44. haunted light house for $105. all out of scooby except for a few dozen mystery machines for the long haul. scooby has been doing great.

More space ports $140+ FBA Thanks WoN!!!

Today’s Leicester Square haul. Always like visiting the store. Staff were friendly and so many promotional freebies!! Happy days

Honestly, I'm still in denial. This year my business grew by an unreasonable amount and don't have the capacity or infrastructure to manage it. Weathering the storm through the holidays. If some of the more experienced volume sellers would be willing to give me some advice, please PM me, I am considering going full time and have some questions. Side note: When do storage fee's hit for November?

we work 3-11 about 12 of us bought tickets to go catch it Thursday after work at midnight... pumped up!

i'ts been this way for a year. if you click on approval it asks you to upload invoices. hit cancel. this is the reason why i didn't buy any of these for resale. probably a good idea to go through and add all the sets you plan on selling on amazon early with placeholder in case a gate comes down like sandcrawler.

Supply and demand.

You can always go back in time in 2019 and fix this problem, if it becomes one. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Took a gamble just now:

With just over 3 weeks left before end of year and the way the deals have been this season, I feel like someone will look at their sales goals for the year and just shout out "F@&* IT" and push that super deal button.

Exactly! When the (perceived) value of a LEGO set far exceeds the enjoyment someone has in actually building it, then the Lego stopped being a building-set and became an investment object. The purpose of an investment object is to keep it in pristine condition with the purpose of selling it in at a future date for an increased price. When the Taj Mahal set was a rare set, people coveted to HAVE it as an investment object, believing it would increase in value over time. That made the demand for it. Now that 10256 Taj Mahal is available for everyone, there aren't actually that many who genuinely want to build and display it.

I'm surprised you guys consider this "good", I am personally disappointed with its performance. When these were available they were discounted along side the deep sea fishing boat which is pushing 220$.

There are other examples of this. Assault on Hoth (75098) was released well after the run of Force Awakens sets (e.g. 75105), due to delays I believe.

My theory would be that Disney knew that the live action B&B movie was releasing March of the following year (2017), but the set had already been developed/designed well prior to the intended release. Why not withhold the release of the set until its more relevant in culture while not hogging shelf space. Frozen will continue to remain popular so I imagine they went ahead with that release.

And drink up.

cool - i still got some ground to make up in the play money spousal investing game. i put my money in lego and hot wheels. my wife put her money in bitcoin... and a tesla. ok - ready for Town Hall to go to $20K now.

When people complain that lego "investing" is dead and then I see these comments , I know I am on still doing the right thing.....

Volume should stay strong through the week of the 18th. The drop off should start sometime mid to late that week. Volume has been a bit steadier this year than last with fewer peaks and valleys.

Cool thank you. I had not been buying these either but I had to at $75 each. I'll throw em on ebay once supply dries up a bit.

Put mine in cryo-freeze with my K-TEL Records.

My LEGO store got MFs $799 and SH for $139.95....got SH passed on Falcon, may be on double points week? Sent from my SM-N900T using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

No, I don’t think that. I do think that they’ll do okay after retirement. It might take time though. How well? I have no idea......I guess I’m optimistic. It’s no Exosuit, I can tell you that.

But look at BTTF now. I WISH I would have bought more than the two I picked up. I sold both over a year ago for $100 cash via CL. These WoN will just be a long term hold. I only have two anyway, so I’m not worried about funds being tied up. If I had a warehouse full, I might be singing a different tune.

some great prices out there https://www.ebay.com/sme/toysrus/Save-up-to-20/so.html?_seedid=362068454299&_soffType=SaleEvent&_soffid=5027736103&_trksid=p2047675.m2197&_sop=PRICE_PLUS_SHIPPING_HIGHEST&_pgn=1

I have yet to have success doing this. Have tried calling CS a few times with no luck.

If anyone wants to dump at $17,99 I will buy

Where are you located? I'm sure a local picker would love to have first crack at them, and any sales for cash with no selling fees is a win win for everyone involved. This would be my approach as well. I'm forty and I still have all of my sets from the eighties when I grew up, but only because my parents saved them for me. I'm so glad that they did, because now that I have two kids of my own I was able to get them all back out and build them again. My kids and I created a huge city layout combining the classic town sets that were mine and some of the newer City sets. Most importantly, we had a blast doing it. My kids are 12 and 11 and have already entered their dark ages, so the hundreds of sets in their collection are in storage until it's time to pass everything onto the grandkids. I feel it's my duty to save them and pass them on since my parents did the same for me. Lego truly is a timeless toy.

Yes, because EU ≠ Europe.

...and City 60097. There were also 7 other retirements so far today but nothing significant I can see.

My First Order Transporters 75103 have been flying off the shelves the last week. I knew I shouldn't have left any for LegoMan1212 when they were on clearance for $28 at Target this past summer ?. Sales have picked up nicely these last two weeks and reaching the Top Rated Seller in the last month probably didn't hurt me either. Good timing!

I agree!

Anybody have a mic I can drop?

There's nothing quite like that freshly opened feeling though...

For anyone interested, Brickstuff just announced their lighting/sound kit. http://www.lightmyfalcon.com

Dude...Are you TRYING to get robbed?
