Really like the end product , pretty sturdy , well designed and a lot of playability . The trigger to release the “bombs” is in the perfect place and well hidden . Figures are cool too

Yes. Just a reminder that this thread is for reporting retired sets. If a set is doing the dance, out of stock, call to check, etc, please report that it in the speculation thread.

Rakuten ;20% off cide : yearend20

Finished this off while the kids were napping. It’s -40 with the windchill today so cant do much else...

My daughter loves the winter village sets but is too young, so we built our own with a few new sets from Santa!

It´s like selling on Ebay, people don´t look at the description.

I visited today two stores to get Architecture Studio, by miracle I found the last one in stratford. the current status in brand stores might give you better indication about current state of EOL status and potential resurection (if) Palace Cinemas gone everywhere Winter Toy Shops gone everywhere Caterham hoarded everywhere 10+ boxes Elves series almost gone everywhere Batman Classic surprisingly was almost done. Assault on Hoth isn't going anywhere even discounted Simpsons with 1cm of dust surface on top of it Louvre gone everywhere Burj Khalifa gone everywhere Tie UCS still available Winter Train still available Winter station still available Yellow Submarine overhoarded Nexo - it depends on set and location Xerion Gone everywhere AROCS still available Minecraft the Village still available hassle free Friends Escort Girls mainly gone Escort Superheroes girls still available.

My winner is 41171 - Emily Jones & the Baby Wind Dragon. My average buy was under $3 from KMart with points and coupons, clearing them out over $40. Had over 100, down to 27 My loser was 75096 - Sith Infiltrator. Was expecting more because it was a TRU exclusive, and the Watto figure. Got my money back plus a little holding fee, but the ship just has no holding power. I don't predict much for 75099 - Rey's Speeder. have a bunch from Walmart at 70% off. We shall see what comes of it though.

My amazing grandma bought me the new ucs millennium falcon (75192) from the store in Liverpool yesterday

Lego must have produced a bucket load of trains, thinking that Autumn hype would shift them all by now. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4907012/John-Lewis-unveils-10-Christmas-toys.html Should have been a £120 set with the power functions included. People don't like paying twice.

Why are there so many things listed at 30% off that are already OOS / retired, and not included in the sale?

Interesting sub-plots over the next 24 hours: How many Brickheadz Lego actually have; Whether Elves 2017 is a poor investment; Whether Lego can succeed where TRU failed (TRU had a summer 50% sale to clear Wonder Woman, but still have Tanker Takedown); Whether there is demand for £120+ Minecraft; Very poor sales of Nexo will justify the summer axe; Releasing a train without power functions was a mistake; For me, the surprises are: Moana reduced; Pre-Ninjago Movie still available; Only one Architecture line; Very little Star Wars; Ecto-1 returning again, albeit briefly; Lego choosing not to farm out the slow sellers;

2x Winter trains for me. Had a £20 voucher as well so £42.49 buy in.

Contest it, Amazon will remove. Same for late shipments using prime

I was really considering it but when I saw the video I Bricklinked the parts right away. Got them in 3 orders. Cost around 70 Canadian.

Definite space saver. Will definitely use. Thanks for posting!

LR Constitution Train : $194 FBA

Building assault on hoth with my 6 year old, his gift. I'm going 20 deep on it, now having built.

Quite happy with that haul. Loaded up with more Yellow Subs, finally got the Caterham for a price I’m happy with, and completed another two full sets of the first wave Brickheadz.

If Disney wants to watch the Star Wars brand go up in smoke, then having a bad Solo film follow a divisive Last Jedi will set the ball rolling. I disliked the Last Jedi and have pretty much written off episode 9 and anything Rian Johnson touches, so where is it heading? It’s not looking good. Rogue One might be the only real bright spot.

So anyways, since I’ve sent you payment, when are you shipping’em? I took a day off from work on the 3rd of January so I wouldn’t miss the delivery. [emoji12]

When I am 64.

Jokerland is not doing well in Europe unless your buy-in was 5 quid. There are many many other sets that retired last year that have outperformed it, including XXL classic box.

2.2% is a great deal from Paypal. In many countries it´s almost 4%. You can´t defend yourself against this type of fraud unless you take such extreme precautions that you make yourself unattractive to buyers. Specialist platforms like Bricklink and Brickowl offer lower fraud rates but you will sell a small fraction of what you would move on Amazon or Ebay. Perhaps one of my bad decisions was not to check to Facebook marketplace, now you mention it.

Winners: all 2016-retired: Technic sets, Wall-e and most of Friends sets Losers: all Star Wars sets, Nexo Knights and -of course- Pet Shop [emoji4] I believe that Technic and Friends will make my Christmas 2018 (48x 41101 Heartlake Hotels bought per 64-68£, 23x 42053 EW160E each 38£ and others are waiting.. [emoji4] )

Winners: Jokerland at 65 Losers: Kylo Ren 75104 at 65 when will this set die

As @feed mentions, the most profitable strategy is to go in deep on one or two sets - any of the fantasy investment leagues people have run prove that. The problem is if you don´t pick the right set and it is not always easy to tell. Stuff like 75919 IR are no brainers but who would have bet on Emily Jones Wind Dragon being the best ROI Elves set or indeed that a Bionicle would be the best performing set of the year? There is also a time to buy and a time to sell. A lot of us make the mistake of thinking appreciation will always stay constant but then the remake comes or market tastes change. Diversification doesn´t help the chronic hoarders who can´t bear to sell as they will feel they can´t if they don´t have enough of that set.

some of the most respectable ppl on this site would vote just 3 months back, that the "right set" in your area would be Friends 41122 Adventure Tree House.. and now its getting some kind of a "twin" .. are you so sure about your strategy.. ? Its like the proverb never put the eggs into one nest.. I like diversification (to certain level - like not buying 50x the same set and nothing else)

Importing 99c store dimensions into the UK. Portal 2 in particular. Deciding that Lego are better at making sets for girls, right now. This could be more the change in toys and interactive/video games and the whole role-play vs. linear play thing. But pink sets have been killing it for me. Not following my gut on sets, not going all in sets that were obvious winners. This game isn’t about diversification, it’s about loading up on the right sets. I still find it hard to buy 50 of one set rather than 2 or 3 of 20 sets. Even though when I do that it pays off.

Both good and bad - the amount I spent and the amount I earned.

I just started Lego Investing but I bought the Ultra Stealth Raider at like 82.26 which I know realize was kinda dumb but better than $100. I picked up all three sets from the Dead men tell no tales movie and I expect great rewards though.

Metro Germany have it marked down already and the EX VAT price is very nice. Amazon.de ar already price matching it with launch tomorrow.

Got my first & only one from TRU today. Couldnt resist with the price match to SAH & then using the £20 promo card. I can take a punt on it at £18.49.

Looks like 204 00 0293 Lego 41489 Rey and Kylo Ren

10% eBay Bucks on $50+ YMMV

It’s on at target. 30-50 off

Seems the Dutch prefer their Honey Nut Loops to logic.

Caterham is TooS. Sent from my SM-G920F using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

My feelings above.

Good or bad, it just seems like Star Wars products and related things are overproduced. How much stuff(not just LEGO) from TFA & RO are we still finding out there and sometimes at BIG discounts. First Order Scout Walker is just a bomb of a set now that we've seen the movie and Rathtar Escape was poorly executed which has happened to too many LEGO sets recently. Not sure how to divvy up the blame on that. I saw a bunch of Quad Jumpers at my Wal-Mart and that's a very good set that seems to be moving slow. I want to blame overproduction because seems like the pre-Disney movie sets are not as heavily produced and seem to move a little better overall. Plus they seem to have shorter shelf lives.

Merry Christmas everyone! John

Yes but they are not exclusives. The real exclusive ones (so far) are still full price. You can use the next 6 minutes wisely by checking out the offers in other countries before making your order....

Amazon Lego 70902 $9.00

A lot of this for me on multiples. I start low and sacrifice some profit at first and raise my price moderately above most listing after the 2nd to 3rd sale and gradually move up from there. My listings will appear top 2 or 3 for the remainder of my units 90 percent of the time. It seems shoppers want to buy from where others have bought before and trust the multiple sales history. I personaly don't use stock photos and have had very good success on multiples. I take one really good photo showcasing my product and I'll make sure i have a lot of units that are close to the same condition OR I write in the description all sets show some shelfware and imperfections. That seems to do it for me.

Drop it off a building kids.

Built the docking bay 327 which will be the new home of my recently purchased 10179.

Same here no email, came today.

From LEGO Shop at Home How long will it take to receive the card? It can take up to 6 weeks after purchase of the Millennium Falcon™ (75192) to receive the card.

I've noticed the Yellow Submarine set has been on sale at shop at home for a little while now. Generally Lego marks stuff down before it retires, but the Yellow Submarine is available for backorder... the backorder makes me skeptical, but all other things seem to point to it retiring soon. I would like to buy a few, but was curious to see what everyone here would say about the sale and potential retirement? I couldn't find much on the web. No doubt it will do well after it does retire...
