  1. 16 set city lot for $585 shipped. Mostly small to medium sets. All new and sealed. If you are looking to move volume and clean up some inventory selling in lots is the way to go.

  2. Two AA's + two of the Christmas 2/2 of winter slide sets + two 2015 calendars. I am pairing an AA and Christmas slide. It just seems right to me. Year, after year, after year Batman fights these heinous, vile maniacs and keeps them in Arkham Asylum for ALL our sakes. IMO, it captures the "Christmas spirit" that during one magical season, they all- Batman included- set aside their differences, enjoy a cup of cocoa/holiday nog, and take turns sliding on the ice and singing Christmas carols. Let it be an example for all of us.

  3. Everything except... taxes, gasoline, ferries, alcohol, cigarettes, books, clothing, toys, dairy: milk, cheese, butter, eggs..., bread or grains, cereal, produce except for locally grown, junk food, organic food, health food, vitamin supplements, antihistamines, ibuprofen/acetaminophen (but we can get extra strength OTC and other goodies), razor blades, shampoo, creams - generally ANY personal effect or toiletry, cosmetics, poultry, shelving, housing (subjective based on percentage of income), restaurant bills, golf by 100+% - actually, most sports. I am sure I missed about 100+ categories, but I got enough of them not counting what employers have to pay as well. And everyone can be assured that as the dollar drops, the purchasing power of Canadians will drop in reference to the American dollar. Ask border towns how much their economies decrease as the Canadian dollar devalues.

  9. buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, then HOLD. This set is insanely cool. We rarely build large sets but could not resist this one. I categorize it as a Town-Hall type investment... buy, sit, hold. Long-term appeal for a long-time audience of LOTR fans. In the back of our attic there is a "special" place, with boxes of gifts/items we don't like/want but feel too guilty to get rid of them. An inherited Velvet Elvis from a deceased uncle, along with his glazed Dale Earnhart plate collection... a box of horrible hand-made sweaters from Aunt Ethel which are nothing shy of atrocious but we don't have the heart to get rid of, etc., etc., etc. We are planting a few TH's and ToO's next to THAT inventory. Distant... and not to be visited for a very long time. Those familiar with Tolkien's work understand the intrinsic value of the ToO and how truly iconic this set is. For those unfamiliar with his work, trust your fellow investors who are familiar with its appeal. You do not need to have any interest in what this set represents; you can research it thoroughly- on this very thread- and understand it has the potential to make you a lot of money. Tolkien and the fantasy genre may mean nothing to you, which is certainly okay, but if making money is- I would start at page one of this topic and begin reading. This should be ranked very, very high on any investor's radar based on what is currently available, what is near retiring, and what will offer long-term growth and demand.

  10. Back in stock amazon FR at 74 euros - that is a good price and might be to clear out stock once and for all.

  12. Some of these effects and similar missions took place in the old "Rogue Squadron" video game series. Pretty awesome stuff and I'm tempted now and again to break out the old Gamecube to fire up some Rogue Squadron and Rogue Squadron II.

  16. They will probably be released to the Mods at some time this week, then to the general site members after some troubleshooting. But if you want to sell something immediately, eBay would be a good option.

  17. Most of my Towers from WM are shipping now, thank goodness. I was worried I was only going to receive the Lego T-shirts, pajamas, some socks and Starbucks Hot Cocoa I ordered with these to get them to go through. They are all shipping separate from the Towers, so I think I'll just let my wife open everything and then she will be able to confirm I am crazy.

  19. Its good for you because your primary currency of doing business is USD and not the CDN dollar and you take advantage of both markets equally apparently. Where as I can't buy readily in the USA market (I'm about 1000km from the US border) and don't have a big source of USD to play with. Also I can't sell on eBay with an equal footing as another seller with a USA address. So your facts are skewed about what Canadian buyers can take advantage of and what you take for granted. A lower Canadian dollar helps me sell at a bit better margin but still costs the same for me to buy the same items here. It may get worse if LEGO decides to jack up prices again next year due to a depressed CDN dollar. And the Igloo comment was SOOO original.

  20. If there's any question on the seals, I would return it OR go ahead and open to verify the contents. Open box/sealed bags usually don't diminish the return that much later on after retirement but what you do not want is to run the risk of selling a set as complete when it's not IMO.

  24. Ha, I think you really might be onto something after I watched the trailer again...would not at all be surprised to see Jedi vs Troopers in a quidditch type game with the original Kenny Loggins playing in the background recapturing that epic scene from Top Gun:

  31. As for the light saber situation...I love it. Looks like Excalibur. It's a movie. Who cares if a person can actually fight with it. Can Yoda really lift an X-Wing with his mind?

  38. Town Hall and R2D2 went out of stock more recently, so the comparison is not fair. A year or two from now, nobody knows. For example, the market for Town Halls will be much larger than that for Haunted House, assuming they will have roughly the same price. Not to mention Town Hall is less hoarded. Veterans have been reminding us about Haunted House for close to a year before OOS, while Town Hall caught everybody off guard.

  41. 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.
