I just picked up a ginormous lot off of CL for $300. The pics were terrible and the listing was up for a few days. Usually I get no reply when answering an ad on cl so I was surprised to get a message back. So far I have a complete Black pearl, QAR, and imperial flagship. I also found a complete Garmadons fortress and clone turbo tank 8098. I found most of a 8097 slave 1 and all the figures. I really need about a week off now to go through all this.

At Phila Brickfest Live, my son and I picked up a NISB Harry Potter 4768-2: The Durmstrang Ship with Bonus Minifigures (Target Exclusive) for a decent enough price.

Pack them neatly in a large box and put them away.

this sets been out for 43 days. i have 40 and will buy another 10. i bought into this set thinking i would be holding until EOL which will probably be 1 year judging by the delorean which sold out at shop at home today. its kind of silly to prognosticate about the value of a set that hasn't gone EOL and was available today for like 10 hours from the worlds largest online retailer 4 cents below msrp. its kinda like saying - hey why hasn't that captain america vs hydra doubled in money yet. this set is just sulking in the shadow of the RI which is an anomalous event.

So much regret.......y'all might be in the wrong business.

Not sure if this has been shared before but this one is amazing! Enjoy!

Stamps.com - September USPS Priority Mail Changes - Ultimate Guide Thought some of you might find this useful to have in your back pocket. http://blog.stamps.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/UltimateGuide_to_PriorityMailRateUpdate_Sep2014.pdf

Masters of the Universe immediately came to mind when I saw the title of this thread. That would be a double dose of nostalgia!

BP shows a value around $35k (a couple sets weren't found, so rounding up for that). Would not be worth it at the current asking price to resell with all those different individual sets to have to deal with, but nice for a personal collection at that price. TOTAL $34,832 CL-Lot9.xlsx

I watched BTTF part I and part II last night (for the zillionth time). Lets be fair, the movies are awesome. It is timeless. It is great. wonderful music. I believe it is for every age. A large fanbase. I never met anyone who did not like the movies. This set will do good for sure. Just I guess after EOL we need to wait at least 2 X-masses for the stock hoarded by investors to dry up. After that it is cash time.

Pricing errors don't count sorry.

Exo may be around for a while longer who knows, but both RI and EXO and Ecto 1 are all on the thou shall not discount list. So you will not see them cheaper than MSRP of 19.95, 34.95 and 49.95 respectively barring some gift card deal. Of note however they are the only items on this list without limits specified which is very interesting. BTTF Delorean is not on this list.

That set is decent. I actually like a couple of the new Chimas. The fire ones are awesome. I am still (trying) maintaining that Chima will eventually catch on and take off. I think those fire sets could do it. They are kinda awesome.

The lack of patience around here is crazy!

Life sized Jango Fett for sale...Very nice!

The reason you don't use your VIP points during a 2X event is the number of of VIP points you receive will be based on the number of $$$ you spend. If you use $30 in VIP points on a $150 modular, you'll only be spending $120, therefore only receiving 240 VIP points. If you just buy it straight up, you'll receive 300 VIP points to use later. That's why I'd use your VIP points now and get yourself 2 promos, the Spaceman and the Chima Fire Bike.

Another thing, if you have VIP points to burn, you might want to consider using them now, before double and triple VIP hits in October & November. The first part of November might also be a good time, since if triple VIP hits, it probably won't be until Black Friday weekend.

I'm surprised that the set grew in value so quickly. I was expecting the set would be valued around $250-$275 by this Christmas 2014. Maybe we could see a jump in prices this Christmas to around $325-$350.

Thanks exciter1!

And this is what is wrong with ebay. If he's throwing the box away then why does it matter? That is why they have you rate your sellers, not to gouge them out of money. Either return it or keep it. If he asked for a partial I'd tell him to send it back.

I just realized the one you went to was Brickfest, this was Lego Kids Fest. Its about 4 or 5 lanes of Technic 4x4 crawlers with obstacles. It was one of the more popular events. Think they do Brickfest in Birmingham, AL will have to try that when it comes again. The only pic I could find doesn't really show much but set up in rows then the obstacles start once they get going.

I returned 6 of these today. Why? Because I had something better to invest in and it turned it to not be as hot as I thought it would be. At this point having 20+ of them is above my risk level. It's asinine to say returning something is unethical as it's an option the store offers its customers. No questions asked returns. If they offer it then how can that be taken advantage of?

The seller's packing job sucks, but if you're opening the set like you said then this is a non-issue.

January 2016.

I think that some of us myself included see buying a bunch of something say 30 RI and then returning them all if they can't be quick flipped as damaging to the lego investing community, and could possible lead to changes in return policies, which would hurt us all. I also do not think its completely fair to the stores, or to other customers who may want to purchase the product. As far as discounts versus pricing errors, I think its pretty obvious which is which if all other retailers sell at a certain price and never discount but one time one retailer sold at a large discount for only a very limited time, its probably an error.

First @ Trekgate there is a great deal of sarcasm on this forum so take it in stride. If you have the funds and the space hold and store the exos. I have three but would buy 10 more if funds were available for them. @Newbie77. An item that is MSRP $49.99 and marked at $16.48 is a pricing error. Additionally one that retails for $249.99 and marked at $148 is also a pricing error. Bith of these sets are far from EOL and were not being replaced.

Let's just stop feeding the troll.......hopefully he will just go away

Maybe. The other option is that stomp the crap out of it and then ship it to you.

Perhaps this is a geeat time to say, "thank you Target and Walmart for being human and making pricing errors on lego sets"

It WAS a pricing error. A discount shows the original price on the page while a pricing error is one that shows just one price, that is also am incorrect one.

501st representing.

Too much irony in trying to predict the future of this set. All I know is I'm betting on the Cubs to win the Series next year!

Lego miniature golf and build a wall.

All we need is just a little...

Tru exclusive for b&m stores.

i am . you have to be optimistic if you are going to invest in lego at all. i also have a 2000 sq foot temperature controlled storage room and abundant patience. i also have zero expectation to make any profit on a set when its still available for sale at walmart, target, amazon. its going to take some time to clear out stock but if you have the 24-48 month horizon i think you will be rewarded. i bought a bunch more of these tonight and now i'm hoping that wm goes out of stock on these and there is a quick clean EOL.

Yes we know. We are waiting for the new version of the mobile forum app.

If you have that many, I`d return them and put the capital elsewhere. Seems like the heat has gone out of this set, at least for now, it will likely go up over Christmas, but with the quantity that resellers appear to have, maybe not enough to justify keeping. That said, you may be able to sell them for $50ish over Christmas and make a few bucks on each, got to decide if that is what you want or not.

What are your and everyones thoughts on flipping or holding the Tumbler? eBay had some at 300 or under but is going up again. The LEGO Shop at Home website says in stores in October so it does not discuss online. Most Lego stores are very clear that they will not mail order ship the tumbler and either pickup in store or order online which you cannot right now. My first reaction was flip. Though when I see them I probably will want to keep one. Appreciate your advice and others...

We need to figure out at what time exactly Target queries Amazon for the lowest priced FBA price, and implement rotating schedule of FBA resellers to temporarily set MSRP price for the sets that no longer carried by amazon. I wonder if that could be considered as collusion... BTW, I noticed that Walmart started doing something similar - see http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Star-Wars-Jabba-s-Palace-Play-Set/21095580

Seems like Walking Dead or similar zombie theme would go over well....

Another set of Series 1 Mixels, for $89

They will either both be back, or neither will be. Or one will be back and one will not. Or both will be back briefly and then discontinued again. Or Exo will be and not RI or vice versa. There will either be one or more production runs of both, either, neither or no more runs of one or the other or both. It is likely that I will buy between 0 and 100 more of both. Prices will likely remain the same for RI, increase if supply is low, or decrease upon multiple more runs. For Exo the outlook looks the same. Mark my words, put it in the bank. My Lego manager insider told me, his wife plays bridge with the wife of a guy who works on the board of directors of some place that knows the CEO.

I know your delivery man: (such box condition is a total shame)

Can everyone start also including what their item sold for. I speak for many when I say that I really don't care what you sold as much as how much it sold for. Thanks!
