This is what happens when my boys take over the Town Hall!!

Both The R2 Droid and the Batman Ayslum will be big money makers, any Investor not getting these will regret it. I have 42 Droids and 35 AA and still buying them.

Agreed. Was in TRU the other day picking up the last 3 advents and overheard a lady ask the employee for one and gladly gave her one. In the end its cool to make money on this stuff but still want people to be able to experience it also.

I just scored a (supposedly complete) 10194 Emerald Night Express with box/instructions for $80

Sopwith Camel, my first.

If you're in the US, 1 set of nine fits in the USPS flat rate bubble mailer easily. Plenty of protection and only $5ish, and no shipping supplies to buy. If you're keen on having a protective box, there's are chipboard boxes called 'Scotty Stuffers' that are designed to be the largest possible box you can fit in a flat rate bubble mailer.

wife made me this for my birthday.

Dude, you are swimming in the LEGO.

Saw this pic on reddit today. Sure the DO isn't a huge modular or anything, but man the Slave I looks massive.

I have heard of many collectors that returned sealed packs. Just do you smooshing at home and return the ones you don't want.

I'm sure that you could yell at some poor Walmart CS until they let you return your item. If it's worth $4 to you to be an @$$hole, go for it.

Cave is another RI. $60 by christmas.

Amazon has bumped 21117 Ender back to retail, Target should follow shortly, so get your sets and/or pricematch in quickly if you haven't already. BTW, as a data point, here are the current buy box prices on Amazon as of 5pm today, all incl shipping...Cave continues to be the % winner: 21113: $41.49 21114: $43.98 21115: $57.49 21116: $69.98 21117: $69.99 (Amazon) 21118: $109.99 (Amazon)

this makes the case for sticking with Original trilogy for investing in sw lego. It looks cool in person - fun build - and an investment turd because no one thinks back to that great classic star wars scene with Obi-wan's starfighter. going forward i'm not investing in anything from episodes 1-3. You know its the weekend before black friday on ebay when I sold a lot of 5 CHIMA WORRIZ FIRE BIKE poly freebies for $18 BIN with free shipping. also sold a Space Center 3368 for $100 + 10 shipping but for 60, last of my amazon price mistake hobbit 5 armies for 58 bought for 15, and a free mini T1 poly for $34 BIN free shipping. getting ready to list the Tumblers and Minecraft on craigslist and coloring in some poster boards signs that i can hold up and wave at the entrance on friday morning at the TRU parking lot. GOT TUMBLERS? GOT MINECRAFT?

Well, to be fair a lot of those 4287 pieces in the Tower Bridge are the 1x1 sloped thingies. I bet that if you looked at price per gram the difference would be smaller. Still, I agree with you that the TB is better value for money. I don't think Lego decreasing the standard price for a set has ever happened. If you find the set too expensive, keep your eyes open for a discount or pass on it altogether.

You need to be banned for life after that one!

Just completed an insane epic day. Picked up the 15 Olivia House's I ordered the other day, got 2 Museum Break Ins and 2 AT APs from off the shelves at Walmarts cuz I couldn't resist. Lego in-store found an R2. Lego online did 3 orders, AA, PS & HE. Hit up a TRU and the PMed Olivia's House so I got 4 more making a total of 19. Then grabbed a Mil Falcon, 3 Ghostbusters and 2 Trevi Fountains along with 6 Rocket Raccoons. Also had my 6-year-old and 1-year-old in tow. There was no room left to fart in my car by the end of the day. God help me. My wallet needs a nap.

Hopefully the kids name wasn't Timmy or Johnny

Every day of my life

I'm almost sure some here did that.. Let me do a quick search

This is the first exclusive I will buy and build on release day. Can. Not. Wait.

My entry is ready

I think AC/DC pretty much makes up for any disappointment they'll ever have.

It would be awesome if you said that you bought it from Pseudoty in the parking lot. Ex Astris, Scientia.

Just went to tru amd stocked up on galaxy squad no coupon needed just reward member account

Here is the first one: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=4541-1 I'm not having much luck with the 2nd set. I've been cataloging with pieces and not coming up with any like sets. Maybe a creation.

Most of us accrued VIP points this weekend, as the discounts are set to return next weekend purchasing the Opera House with the discount and points will make this quite affordable. Everyone should be considering having one of these in their collection. Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, Grand Carousel are all sets that command high prices now, the rarity of this set if it retires now could put SOH in a similar bracket.

Yeah, I think this set may surprise a few people. I can see this being pretty scarce a year or so after EOL, and it is quite an impressive set. Definitely worth a punt if you had the 20% yesterday.

It's been in production for almost two years now. If this is a set you want in your collection then pick it up on Friday with the discount because it may be your last chance to get one.

I like the disapproval for this set, coupled with the unexpected potential retirement means I'm making SOH a priority next weekend.

This thing can turn into gold when it goes EOL within a year. It is skipped by much investors; the high ppp ratio makes it not popular set. You don't want to miss out when it suddenly disappears.. but that's just my opinion.

Yeah many people share the same sentiment these days, I'm used to it.

You have to put your file on a website, and then copy/paste the link. Use http://www.hostingpics.net/ because it's simple. And then copy/paste the first link. If you want to integer the picture inside the forum so everybody can see it, use the "show direct link" option on hostingpics (under the last sort of link), copy/paste the link inside the "Image" option in your message on the forum (the "Image" option is at the right of Bold, italic, etc.) But before be sure that your image is not too big (a 5 mb picture is really annoying).

NSFW...dude, where's your pants?

Just picked up my first AA!

I'm about to post in the Mixels thread, but will say it here, too. Legoland California is swimming in Series 2, but only in the Brown and Orange. Blue is non-existent. I bought every Blue I could find there today. I didn't hit every shop, but I did hit a majority of them. Blue is clearly the winner in this Series.

LOL...yeah probably...I'm surprised that it's not honestly...

Yes, definitely. Lego has produced a winner in this set, both for serious collectors and investors. Perhaps they got the message after the B-wing and X-wing and felt they needed to do something more. The Slave I is similar to the UCS Tumbler in quality it appears, but let's hope for those who actually want to buy it for their own collection, it is not handled production- and release-wise like the Tumbler. Though, flippers would love that scenario for much of 2015. I'll be up at midnight on Jan. 1 in my drunken state trying to order this one.

I think people who go and clear out lego stores and leave nothing for poor little Timmy should get a life :)

She can have it for $75

Why!? Cause someone has the balls to go all - in?

Ummm Tommy Lee had a sex room... With a swing. Winning.

Just sold my last Wolverine's Chopper on Craigslist for $80 CDN. I had asked for $100 but had used this price in full expectation of being asked to haggle down. You have to stay one step ahead of these people. $80 is what I was getting for these on ebay before fees so I'm actually ahead on this one. Oh Logan, how I'll miss thee. From $7 purchase to $80 sale. Go make some child/man-child happy.

Thats what she said.

You can't play the game like that, at least not in my opinion. Because when that one set does become the next winner? Yeah, you've only got two of them because you're so diverse. I played that game at first, and I've got a garage full of onesies/twosies that I'm slowly chipping away at. R2-D2 is a good example for me. I have no doubt it will be a winner. I have no doubt that people that are picking it up are a making a wise investment. But, I have zero in my stock. Because I can't buy everything. There are other sets that I've decided to focus on. Don't spread yourself too thin.

Hey! Kylie is a bomb!!!

I am so glad there are people here who really know their trains ....because I have absolutely no idea. :sweat:

The only thing more disappointing out of Australia is Crocodile Dundee II.

Lego has calculated such that if you shipped a set over from the US, after adding shipping, it would cost just as much if you got it locally. So basically, it's zero sum.
