Congrats Inversion on becoming a Moderator and best of luck. I wanted to again thank Ed and Jeff and all the Mods with all their hard work and I had fun in the position. Time on the computer is something I don't have a lot of and wasn't able to devote the kind of time to the site that it required and didn't want to half ass anything. I will definitely still be around talking Lego with everybody.9 points

The careful filing of topics into a relatively few number of threads is actually an enormous positive on this site. You don't have to wade through pages of different threads to find relevant topics on the set of interest, you just go to one place. Also, the length of this thread and the age is actually another huge clue if you care to think about it. And if you're observant, there's even more to be learned from that "old and irrelevant" info that you think no longer applies. Quite the contrary, that's some golden info that will tell you quite a bit about the future of not just 10188, but a number of other sets as well. If this was easy and obvious, many more folks would do it. It takes time and patience to learn the basics on both ends: the best way to acquire sets (and which ones), as well as the best way to sell sets (and when). We were all novices once, and we're all still learning. The suggestions you make are counterproductive and would harm the way many of us use this site. I appreciate your suggestions, nothing wrong with those. Understand that the reason things are done such as grouping comments into single threads by set is the result of many expert investors input, some serious wisdom on this site, and the result of many mistakes made by others before you. You're benefitting from all that. You'll come to see why things are done the way they are here, and hopefully recognize the value they'll ultimately represent to your investments.8 points

if we did this, it would make it easier for investors to get into the market. many of us spend hours reading topics that are years old to see how the speculation pans out. this is great information. so read on, and maybe in a few weeks you can grasp which sets you should buy. have a good one!6 points

He's stating it more like fact rather than opinion, and not nicely either. I don't care if people want to post what they think, but when they are rude about it and act like a little kid trying to get their point across its annoying and a waste of time reading the post......especially with " I am right.thanks". Great, he may be right, but coming off like a pompous jerk isn't going to make others here like you or respect your input. Rant over, moving on.......5 points

I think it shows that anyone stating knowledge that licenses ending at any given date are talking out of their hobbit hole.5 points

Tonight was a pretty medieval night, I got a used medieval market village (10193) for $100 shipped and a used kingdoms Kings castle (7946) for $50 shipped so I guess now I'm basically forced to get the kingdoms joust set5 points

Nope no code and no inside knowledge. I remember I think Dave is the person who spoke with a mid level manager and was told PC is going this summer. It is really strange in how it has acted. I think he may be right guessing 40% chance. It is by Astrid and all her sets get retired early it seems It is my favorite modular. I think PS soon fills US back orders and is done Guesses I am probably wrong3 points

Hi all, Thought I'd stop by an introduce myself as a sumbled across your site when trying to find out more about lego, as over the past few weeks it appears I have become a wife to a secret lego wanting husband and mother to two lego wanting young girls! So far the girls are happy to just play with whatever I can get cheap! and we did pick them up some lego movie stuff on a recent trip so I think this has got them onto the ideas of sets being available and I'm already seeing first drafts of birthday lists with Elsa, cinderella et al. set's on so I guess we're into disney princess teritory. As for my hubby he's decided now is a god time to get back to his lego childhood memories and is talking about an upcoming purchase of a death star! and a VW camper (although I have to admit from what I've seen so far I'm strangely tempted to also push him towards the modulars as I think they look cool). So as I'm the one tasked with buying etc. I have the feeling that you may find I have some silly questions in the near future.2 points

If you don't ming me asking, did you get any type of discount or did you buy them at regular price? I want to get more of these as well. I have about three and don't want to regret not buying more like I regret not buying more Delorean's. Those were half the price of the Ecto-1's and I should have bought more but I just didn't. I wanted to diversify and get some different sets. These Ecto sets are awesome looking and have great minifigs. I don't see how you can go wrong.2 points

Huskers, just be honest. You're too busy with fantasy baseball and continuing your trend of besting me to players on waiver wire. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app2 points

Problem is that a select few never buys thousands and if they do, they are not using the affiliate links. At least not what we see. I think you overestimate what people really buy and stockpile. As I have stated many times, the NON-LEGO discussions would enter areas of discussion that did not have a place on a site designed around LEGO bricks. Really, use the INVESTorSELL.com site. It's what you are looking for.2 points

Not sure if any one has mentioned this yet, but why is Wildstyle spending so much time with her ex boyfriend now?2 points

The contract was made with LucasFilm and Disney had literally no way to dissolve the agreement without seriously burning itself. However I see a couple of LEGO SW movies/series down the road just not made by Warner. They will be done most likely in conjunction with a Disney subsidiary. Disney channel is already featuring Droid Tales. LEGO animations became a brand on its own by now which Disney has no way to compete with in that segment. But this game is purely a competition and a pretty close substitute. Most households won't finance multiple collectible toy games.2 points

I have this bridge... it's worth a fortune but I need a quick sale for money to pay for my aunt's operation. Please mail me cash and I'll mail you the deed. I'm honest because I say so, so you can trust me and everything. They know because they didn't just fall off the turnip truck.2 points

Jeff and I would like to welcome inversion as a new moderator. Huskers1236 will be stepping down from his Mod position due to time constraints. We want to thank Huskers1236 for his efforts and wish him well in the future. Ed1 point

There has been a new real time CHATROOM added to the INVESTorSELL.com site. Give it a try....1 point

Chima's most redeeming quality, IMHO: that special, over-the-top firepower. Very video game ready. Reminds me a little of Ratchet and Clank.1 point
-
I actually think Chima with their over the top weapons could be a good match for this video game. Since TLG owns the theme, there is still a good chance it may be incorporated to the game. Plus if Jurrassic World does well at the box office, it would be a great addition to boost the popularity of this game. Psst, the red eye on the top of the tower means it is Barad Dur (Sauron's tower) shown in trailer as supposed to ToO (Saruman's tower). There is a good chance ToO is also included in the game though1 point

I'm a new investor and got everything I needed to know out of skimming this thread! I have yet to invest in a Death Star. It's been out so long and I can't imagine they would stop selling it until the sales cool down. At this rate it could be many more years!1 point

Just to clarify, my wife does not make me pb&j sandwhiches, my joke was referring to peanut butter on one side and jelly on the other. And besides, I eat uncrustables anyway LOL. (by the way, the new hazelnut ones are da bomb, it's like nutella between bread). Glad everyone got a laugh1 point
