Only response I got to validate my typo.

same could be said about otherwise rational adults getting worked up about whether a set is retiring or not and when it is retiring and spending countless minutes / hours on this process. and spending thousands of dollars on a thing we call a hobby / business where others might think we're crazy Everyone has there passions and likes. I still prefer deflated balls as opposed to under inflated leather lol

Hey, it's all just speculation, and I hope you're right. What concerned me about the $483 TH sales was not the dollar amount but that the sale was apparently to an investor. I'd be more comfortable with any price point if it represented sales to end users rather than speculators. I remember back in maybe August of last year some guy was posting about buying SSD at $670 as an investment. Well, considering fees, he's still underwater on those by around $60 per set (assuming sale on eBay). He could have, as you say, put that $670 into three HH and change, four GE (still available at LEGO Shop at Home then), or even three TH. Paying 2x MSRP for an investment set is seldom the best use of cash.

I may retire soon. I've accomplished everything I set out to do.

You guys probably have too much time on your hands discussing this way. This is an investing site. So when you look at the TH as investment it is pure gold! That's all that counts. And if you do not like it? Better! So you won't have any problems letting it go at $800 a piece coming Xmas.

be careful in thinking the TH is a all-time holy grail. because every town has many houses, shops, restaurants. but there is always only one town hall. good for NOW, because the only one TH is EOL... BUT.... it

For everyone who says they have not seen an Exo Suit in Walmart here you go. Keep in mind this copy is from my stores clearance section. Its on cleerance for $34.99. Picked it up to look at and guess what - it is completely empty. Imagine the price with some Lego inside?

Bad breath and a desire to build Lego? This seller has the answer for you... http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Lego-Technic-Cargo-Plane-42025-Container-Truck-42024-NEW-Factory-Sealed-GIFT-/321638953561?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item4ae32cf259

Traveling reseller scum... that's multitasking at it's finest!

I wish it were the other way around

I think this is Amazon just price matching TRU.ca 20% off sale going on right now. Toysrus has a 1 up on them with the extra $10 off coupon: CineplexHoliday

Can we get the release out of the way first?

my answer for everything CHIMA FIRE BIKES!!!

Thought.... Because usps is overwhelmed with amount of packages from everyone jumping ship from ups and FedEx..... More volume... More margin for error. Just a thought. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app

I'm from L.A. We don't even have a team and as long as I lived in Atlanta I never really cared for it so no to the Falcons. My college didn't have a team either, until last year. Hell, I haven't had true cable in almost 8 years, just the $10 basic for local. I would drop it as well, but every time I try Comcast extends a promo for Internet so that I would pay more if I dropped it.

I think we're overthinking this one. If it's a big, expensive Star Wars UCS Lego set, the price is only going in one direction. I concern myself much more with the potential ROI of a $200 Lego investment in other categories. That should be the debate. The Red 5 is going, and future fans of Lego will want it. You won't lose money.

I'm with Tony on this completely. Adapt to the situation. They should have. No matter who your quarterback is- epic risk in tossing the rock with the stakes being so high. When Lynch is in the backfield- change your plan. Adapt, deliver. On a different note... Sroster.... ABSOLUTELY LOVE the Purple Rain picture, LMAO. My Wife rags on me all the time for loving that song, then forcing the kids to watch parts of the movie which has been on my DVR for the last eight months thanks to VH1. Classic- and very well played. ___ Migration... a fair point, but to each their own!! We pay a couple hundred bucks a year with Direct TV to get the "NFL Sunday Ticket", so I can watch- in painstaking detail- my beloved Denver Broncos fall short year after year. I know soccer is the #1 sport world-wide, and I wouldn't knock it- but it is not for me. Different flavors, I suppose... but I loves me some NFL football.

If you already have a couple, (for me), yes! I am already moving money around to try and best capitalize on 2xVIP and this set should definitely be on one's radar. If you have none or one (or are waaaay below your target) then by all means buy now and later. But I sincerely doubt this is gone in six weeks from S&****.

Broke down the rest of my pallets and found my other Lonely Mountain. Had tossed it in the "to deal with later" pallet and heard the famous sounds of LEGO and decided to check it. Sure enough it was the set. First set in over 10 years of buying Amazon liquidation that came in a brown box and not the retail box. Usually they're destroyed / damaged but always included. All outer numbered bags had been opened but all inner bags were still sealed. Instructions sealed. Smaug and minifigs accounted for. Switched this one out into my personal inventory and sold another I had bought in its place to get a little more money out of it. Let the daughter build Smaug and I decided to build the rest. On a side note the box they put it in fit it perfectly so there is still room for box sizes to get smaller LOL (I put another one behind it to show comparison)

I don't get why otherwise rational adults get so worked up watching millionaires toss around an under inflated piece of leather.

Walmart's site today seems to be acting up. Lots of listings came back from the dead and show the items as in stock. Take AA for example: http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/lego-lego-super-heroes-batman-arkham-asylum-breakout-10937/927229 However once added to cart it tells you it's out of stock, booo.

Currently $35.98 on S@H and sold for $100 already on Amazon and EBay.

Can't go wrong with the Tumbler, either. Do try to find an assembled 42009 to see in person I've yet to have a friend look at mine and not be completely blown away. Captures the source material perfectly.

No.

Really? OK...If you say so. I'll have to keep an eye on that one. Thanks for the tip.

What sets do you think are retiring?

My speculation: Maersk pays Lego $30 for each set. Maersk has a limited budget for this campaign, that's why the exclusivity. IMO that's right move for both sides. Not really related to EOL though.

I foresee a lot of people traveling with LEGO in the upcoming weeks

There's also a coupon code for tru.ca that could potentially make this hot: Use code CineplexHoliday at the checkout to get $10 off $40 for online orders. It excludes exclusives, and there's a possibility it excludes sale items, but worth a try?

My CS order from Feb 2 shows In Warehouse. I palmed the Doorman a 20.

I think your right. More valid questions could be does the Santa's Workshop, Research Institute (if it stops coming back), or Creative Suitcase or new yet to be named variants of any of this or other stuff have far better quicker percentage returns this Christmas than any of these. Would I trade my Red 5's and my ToO's I have now and get no more for a semi load of Santa's Workshop and Creative Tower in early December last year. You Betcha.

Well the Red 5 is a freaking X-wing! My personal fave from SW, even more than the Falcon. I think it'll do fine, especially with the new movies coming out. That scene in the previews with the three X-wings flying just above the water. Chills. I just think the retail price is a little high, and that might have affected sales. When are they making a Terminator lego? Or have they already?

Well clearly what you had in your hands is the true lunar version on the exosuit, which simulates the weight on the moon. That's why it's clearance price is the regular exosuit's full retail price.

Visited Alexis-Nihon, Versailles, Longueuil, Brossard, Candiac, St-Bruno, St-jean .. really they have nothing good left at 20% .. and not that many sets too.. so if you have a store with lots of sets I would like to know where in Montr

Don't mind me, I'm just being silly. And I bet no one knows the game either.

Spotted a lone 75021 at the local LEGO store today and it was marked down on sale for $89.99. I asked if they had more and was told it was last one they had from stock that had been leftover from the 'back'. So it might be a stretch to expect to find more at other sites but it might be worth a phone call.

Darin, why are you not plundering Europe? They are still available for 300 euros or less here.

I think people need to put less emphasis on years and more emphasis on other factors. If LEGO decides to switch up EOL dates in major ways, then some resellers who buy early will benefit greatly. People who try to time the market will have a harder time.

I'm not a Dr. Who fan but a Dr. Who set will be smoking hot and the demand will be huge from non Lego Dr. Who fans.

Who's your source?

I got you covered

I'm, sorry my neighbors to the north. We just recently lost the two Kmarts that I went to around here - I have other options but losing a store sucks. Seeing empty buildings sucks, losing jobs sucks. There is just no other way around it. - It sucks.

Anybody take notice of how much a Slave I looks like a right angle grinder?
