SPACEBALLS THE PLAYSET! by ChrisR18t on Flickr

He was referring to R2-D2... R2-D2 has a single robotic eye and is on wheels. He meant R2-D2 wont be the only one retiring...

Presented as food for thought. Green bars are speculative. Ask yourself what you think the 2015 offering of Star Wars exclusives are going to look like?

Isn't that pretty much what you said about the Town Hall? Wait, I have exactly what you said about the Town Hall. mscheaf, on 04 Oct 2014 - 11:48 PM, said: So maybe, just possibly, perhaps you don't know everything about everything.

The negativity comes from the person in question not just giving their opinion, but essentially implying that everyone else is stupid for buying into believing certain sets are retiring, all the while proving over and over that they actually have no idea what they're talking about.

The same people saying "R2 will be around for a while there is a new SW movie coming out" are probably the same people that were saying there was no way Haunted House would retire/vanish before Halloween.

You guys aren't seriously debating whether or not the Sandcrawler is retiring, are you? I'm shaking my head here...

Sandcrawler not going anywhere .

Teenagers smoking weed at tru parking lot?

worst case scenario: you'll end up with an army of R2D2 which also might be pretty cool... just imagine how you can replace all your furniture by LEGO R2D2! Table? putting a plate on 4 LEGO R2D2! chair... same decoration infront of your house? R2D2! (like those two lions infront of chinese restaurants) it will be hilarious! :-) so this is a win-win-win situation

It's not that simple. This set can be a long term winner. I mean, lego will certainly make a new MF. But the new one will be the one from the new trilogy and have a new crew inside -it will not include Leia for example-. And what if it's rusted with brown pieces ? It will look not exactly the same as the one in the original trilogy. Also, look at the new versions of the Imperial star destroyer, the B-wing... They are small/not that big compared with the older versions. And it's been a long time since we didn't get a medium-sized MF (500 pieces). That's why I think we'll have: 1) a $69-$99 version of the MF (autumn 2015 ?), about 600-900 pieces. Most likely from the new trilogy, but a MF from the original trilogy is possible if a UCS MF from the new trilogy is scheduled shortly after. and 2) a UCS MF from the new trilogy (2016 ? 2017 ?), $250, about 2500 pieces So whatever the scenario, in my opinion it is very unlikely to see a MF from the original trilogy bigger than the 7965. We'll have to wait something like 4 years to see one bigger (if it happens). Aside note: Set / year / pieces 7965 / 2011 / 1254 7778 / 2009 / 356 10179 / 2007 / 5195 4504 / 2004 / 985 7190 / 2000 / 663

I've been lucky over the last few weeks, and sales have really picked up. Of course, I hadn't really started listing things until the last couple of months either. Now that I'm listing, I realized - my books aren't as in good order as they need to be. I kept okay books - I knew when I had bought stuff, and how much I bought it for. But I realized it was time for a complete overhaul. I also needed to go through and do a complete inventory (again) to make sure I had everything in the right place, and tracked. And to make my life easier when it comes time to filling orders. So, while I've been following all the excitement over the last few weeks, I've also been busy getting all my receipts in order (or printed or digitized). I've been updating my spreadsheets into nice little monsters, with nice summaries of my current status. I've been tying sales and purchases to specific receipts and invoices (thank you eBay). What hit me was the amount of sales I was doing, and realizing that this is now a legit business - eBay and Paypal are going to be reporting me, so I better make sure everything is airtight. Don't wait until it's tax time. Get on your books now, and make sure, if you're really in, you're all in.

MUHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!!!! The one eyed midget will not roll alone into the sunset...

Well my 1 Click Order went through no problem, AGAIN BTW- Wife isn't happy. I have UPS or Fed Ex stopping at the house daily over the past few weeks between Legos & Christmas Presents. Neighbors are getting peculiar that something illegal is going on.

In the third moon of Shawshank, when the serpent sleeps with the tumbling clown, hold the Staff or Ra to the light, cite the booklet of Exo suit backwards and the EOL dates shall be revealed on the bottom seal.

$120 is the new selling point for Mixels Series 1.

Don't worry, I won't. However, I do appreciate your self-awareness.

I just called lego and they told me this one is done and wont come back. A few months ago i spoke to a lego store manager she told me the next sets will go eol: HH check she was right GE check she was right TH check she was right R2 check were not sure but really looks like it. She told me all this at a point that there where no signs at LEGO Shop at Home about these sets. O and there's one more thing, she said that DS will go soon as wel.

Just an alternative to people so sure about TLG keeping R2 for the movie: There are countless lego & SW fans already got the R2. So with the movie coming out, they could put their resources to produce R2 to get more fans to buy it, or they could release something new (and also in the movie) to get all the fans who already got R2 to open their wallets. Why are we so sure the 1st one is definitely the winning move?

You mean like not releasing the Frozen Lego set _before_ Christmas?

It seems there is another Lego Batman movie out for release soon on February 10th of 2015 with an exclusive Batzarro minifigure. Source: The Brick Fan

Lord Business in his natural habitat. It's a massive, pretty impressive setup.

Yeah, all that does is take attention away from the discussion about the Tumbler retiring.

Well I can accurately answer this go down the page on the item on Amazon and it shows you the sales rank in its category.

Some Mixels only have one eye...... And quite short! Trekgate, I have Tumblers you can always trade me TH's for them!

T1 rolls!!

has anyone tried rolling their death star? please someone confirm that it rolls.

I saw Kenny Baker's wife get really belligerent in line for coffee at Starbucks once. She might sculled you for that.

I love it - R2 is #5 on Amazon in its category. I looked Saturday before the Frenzy and it was in the top 10 then. So this set will be popular and as of Saturday I think there was like 85 listings on eBay. Please Please Retire! Here's the breakdown MF - #2 Mindstorm 3 - #4 R2 - #5 Ewok - #7 (even with Promo not topping others) WVM - #11 Crawler 9398 - #14 Death Star - #20

Pfffft. I don't see any Mixels.

Red Five, standing by....

So I've just seen this one comment on amazon.com where the guy gave 1 star (or zero...) because he really doesn't like what LEGO did there... He writes: " Disappointing what can I say the best part of this set is the minifigures but the vehicles are lacking in detail the minifigures do not fit inside the vehicles the doors do not open regardless I made a better lego version if you are interested send me a note and I will provide you with a link." I made a better lego version if you are interested send me a note and I will provide you with a link I made a better lego version better lego version then he posted that link in the following comments: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-DeLorean-DMC-BTTF-Back-to-the-Future-custom-9468-9464-76004-21103-10229-Fig-/121364891685?ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=9Ukx8B%252FrQMW7SVZsYtALg9XJCMY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc I don't wanna say that his DeLorean custom made version doesn't come with a certain charme... but I wouldn't go as far as to call it "better" ***** just in case the link vanishes I'll provide you with some pictures ^.^

Awesome movie. Some of my favorites.............. "It's gone from suck, to blow" "I see your Schwartz is as big as mine" "Funny, she doesn't look Druish"

I've got enough of these so I am very relaxed watching what happens now, I even enjoy it! But I might grab a few more from a store or something as this thing will disappear completely in 2 months! With the 10225 in particular I don't need anyone telling me what makes sense and what doesn't....it's the easiest decision of the year!

Three set Chima lot. Lion Chi Temple, Croc Swamp, and Eris Interceptor for $305 shipped. Paid $130. I am almost completely out of Chima. Only one Croc Swamp and one Eris Interceptor left. Yippee!!

This was taken at Legoland California during Brick-or-Treat. I'm Emmett.

I think R2 will have a quicker appreciation schedule at least in a short term manner (I think both).

I returned the 950 Duplo My first Circus sets and instead picked up 2 R2s from Amazon using the link.

Per customer service rep, Tumbler ends next year. They are getting one more shipment in definitely in January.

Wow, that's a steal on the Venator. I bought a bulk lot a few weeks ago off CL with a 95% complete Venator (only missing 30ish parts and the 2 Senate Commando Mini-Figs for $35. There was also a mostly complete Atlantis Exploration 8077 and some other partial sets, so I was happy with the buy. You could almost double your money on Ebay right now!

Look at Lego using us to wipe out its inventory, so that they can make room for Slave 1. .................And people think Lego hates us.............. Knowing I'm clearly being used here......... I just bought some more.......

I like to think of it as the Mr. T effect and believe that everyone is following Homer Simpson's sage advice from the Deep Space Homer episode: "Just like the time I could have met Mr. T at the mall. The entire day, I kept saying, 'I'll go a little later, I'll go a little later...' And when I got there, they told me he just left. And when I asked the mall guy if he'll ever come back again, he said he didn't know. Well, I'm never going to let something like that happen again!"

I'm not sold on 76005...Spiderman sets haven't been selling particularly well for me lately so I'll pass on this one.

funny, I had the exact same situation with an item yesterday. i opened a case and i am still waiting for a reply. im betting amazon will eat the difference and we will get reimbursed

I don't think he was a good Password teammate. Seriously, his hints for this one were "Brown", "Delightful" & "Expensive"...she never had a chance...
