Let us know the codes once you get those

I sold my very first set today. RI for $52us +shipping. (And a fiasco of printing two seperate shipping labels). Because this was my first sale on eBay, or anywhere, I added a bonus polybag (but they don't know that) for taking a chance on a first time eBay seller. I'm on my way to millions!!!

There is nothing leading to the conclusion that Lego was ever against the project which became the Research Institute set or they only produced it just because of a random letter from somebody

flipper anyone? if so, it should have been done about 3 weeks ago. hold onto for the long-term. if not, maybe you can try to flip again at christmas

Ironic that you posted that twice.

The lack of patience in this thread is staggering.

Sorry this is the only thing I ever saw that was related to Lost.

At one point I was convinced it was going to be the greatest show ever. Then the last season came. Now, I was a mega fanatic, listened to the podcasts, visited all the sites, investigated all the mysteries (wish I had poured that energy into Lego back then). But the show creators stopped caring about answering the mysteries. And in their podcast years earlier they said that it was not all a religious purgatory but it was...those other people had died and were waiting for Jack to die so they could complete their ascension into whatever heaven or such that they were going to. Bogus, stupid, religious ending. Like everything Lindelof touches, it ends up being about religion, see Prometheus (Jesus was an engineer, google it). I refuse to watch the Leftovers because I know it will be all about god. And the thing about pulling the cork in the cave...really dumb. It peaked with all the Faraday time travel stuff but then just unravelled completely.

Really wasn't a feature that was talked about or used all that much. I will revisit it again after a few of these other products are released. Right now, my main goals are to get classifieds launched, a site update for certain areas and a new mobile app that we haven't talked about that goes with one of our new features. Based on the direction this site has headed in, we feel it will be something useful to many.

You've got to be kidding... LOST deserves a complaint thread of it's own

There is one RI set on ebay at $87. The next lowest is $93. I anticipate ebay to be $100 by Labor Day. Lego has clearly told me on the phone that the letter from the little girl came in after their decision to release the set. That could be true or may not be but that is what I was told and that the letter did not effect the decision. With all of that in mind I might be more of the opinion to say $19.99 retail for a 150 piece set with 3 mini figures is underpriced. Not from a buyers perspective but from Lego caring enough to mass produce this, print boxes, distribute and freight costs. Are they really making that much money off of it? I think this set is done. I find it interesting comments that state it is coming back with not even pointed rumors to justify the statement. You cannot trust LEGO Shop at Home information but at least their firm statements construed as rumors are pretty clear. If someone has something to prove it is going into full manufacturing I would like to hear the rumor and source. However, If it reaches $100 on eBay I will most likely unload most of mine.

It makes it a much easier decision to hold if you only have 2-4 of these. If you have 30-50, unload, IMO. It might not be worth the risk to lose out on the money on the table right now.

Received 16 exo's from wally world yesterday, 2 orders of 8 each, sent in original lego carton. All of them are in perfect condition.

so clich

so German... so French...

Just sold another as of ten minutes ago. Looks like we're over $100 Mark with shipping on Amazon. My stash is now free. The rest, profit.

You know, it's illegal in 9 countries.

Made with bits of real panther, if I'm not mistaken. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

She's just one of the folks who gains enjoyment writing to sellers to tell them their prices are too high. You get them sometimes. I always seem to end up behind them in the line at the supermarket. You can ignore their messages, or send back a polite, "Thank you for your interest, but this is our best price at this time."

Considering the success of Lego and DC cartoons over the last few years, they could do worse than putting out a recurring DC Lego cartoon the way they do for Ninjago and Chima. Kids would make that show a massive hit.

My stock 2 weeks ago from TRU. Just had time open them up last night.

That's amazing that they didn't sell. I think here they would have flipped out of that basket like hotcakes.

And so the age of returns begin....

Are we not supposed to do that, or is it just bad etiquette? I've done that once here, before the Bricktrader section was open, but the guy mentioned he got some damaged boxes and I just wanted one to build. I've done that on other forums too. Might as well go straight to the source if there is a hint they might be interested in something, otherwise it may get missed in the trade section.

Prickly

I consider Breaking Bad to be one of the greatest shows ever. Great pacing, excellent writing, superb acting, that show has it all. Battlestar Galactica is great, but suffers from some plot holes and pacing issues in later seasons. Also suffers from bad ending syndrome, although the ending has sort of grown on me with repeat viewings. Game of Thrones is great, but of course I'm probably extremely biased because I love the book series so much. LOST still blows

This.

TLC was against that set. It took a certain letter from a certain girl to practically force their hand (or at least that is our interpretation). TLC normally does not release two CUUSOO/Ideas sets on the same day. Do you think this set would sold out if there was at least one male minifigure there? With all-female cast, this set was making a statement. Making statements is controversial

The following sets NISB @

This coffin will be a nice addition to my Haunted House.

We shall see them in next year's Technic sets and future ones, I'm sure of it. A piece made exclusively for a small minifigure is one thing but a humongous part like that is another.

Correct. :yes:

Things are slowly progressing but still progressing all the same. Nevertheless the longer I ponder about it, the more I realize I could use some help especially when it comes time to cover say Star Wars or City. If you take a gander at the main post, you will see I added a "contributors" section. Comicblast has already offered to lend me a helping hand the other day. In fact he gave me the inspiration to ask. Anybody willing to help out, the assistance would be greatly appreciated. If I can get four more members at the very least onto the team, things should move at a fairly brisk pace and these set review resource topics shall be covered in no time. Of course "the more the merrier" as the phrase goes so please feel free to help in any way even if you don't wish to join the group. If you would like to help contribute to this set review list resource thread project then please send me a private message or leave a reply here. The more members who contribute mean the less work each one of us has to do and the quicker each topic can be completed. Thank you.

my fault

I got two of these early on in the sell out period and paid $40 each. Was feeling pretty stupid about that, but I feel better.

a quick word of advice: Folks need not rush to Amazon just because one set is going pretty good. Do your homework and read up what their policies and rules are. Example: Amazon requires a signature as proof of delivery in most cases. Tracking by itself is not enough

Yea most if not all sets have the set name in Spanish and French along one side of the box

I sold a non-mint 41999 for $385. Not great, but ill take it.

A box of goodies for our garage sale tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how I do.

I plan on grabbing a few sets, just look at the spar from 10179. If they show up in a bunch of other sets and never spike in value I know a schnauzer that will have a very good time with them.

If those tires are only found in this set, they could go for a lot of money when the Tumbler retires. I don't think that Lego would use these tires in many other sets. My guess would be that they would be used in the future in another exclusive set, but that's it.

Pmed a 15% coupon.

If u have to worry about your respective investments you're in the wrong Game. I buy and forget. I have other things to''worry'' about....

I saw this calender on Brickset and looking from past years, this will probably sell for around $50 if it goes OOS and you can't find it anywhere. If you buy it at retail, and sell it for $50, you would make around $10 in profit after fees and other expenses. I wouldn't buy this set for $30 as an investment, but if the price was around $20, I would buy it.

I like the part where the money from my paypal is transferred into my bank account

Speaking of Wild Wild West - if you have 20 minutes to kill watch this hilarious video of Kevin Smith (Clerks etc.) talking about his failed attempt at a Superman reboot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgYhLIThTvk Audio is NSFW so headphones may be required.
