It'll be $199 US by 2016.

​Meant respectfully you will make more friends if you do not post every time someone has a deal what the lifetime low for the item was implying it is not a good deal, nor make authoritative statements like you did. someone already stated this and I think you continue. how do you know LEGO Shop at Home will not have it last? I don't think that statement is accurate or known. unless your just trolling the site for fun.

The intro sequence that has been on the last few designer videos (Helicarrier) has the Ferris Wheel in it... "DESIGN" words of the intro sequence... Screenshot from this video at 1:08... Anything look familiar from the N above? So which ones are we missing from the other letters?

Price is 199.99 USD - relieved!!

Sold 9492: 150$ @ Amazon

​yeah - like from me for $100. seeing how well the delorean is doing, ecto-1 is a no brainer.

There is no better time to buy this set than the present. It will be gone by xmas.

Looks like we know where Cory landed after his days at 2nd & Charles.

Sold a NIB 9492 Tie fighter for $110+Shipping.

​Simply put...rarity. This set will never be rare. The Grand Carousel was never stockpiled. Most people on this site don't have one. Most people on this site will own a Ferris Wheel...or many more.

Blown away. The moving safety platform is an awesome touch. And $199! Compare this price point to the 10240 Red 5; what a value. This is easily the finest release of 2015 (pending the Ferrari), and one of the very best designs and sets of the last 5 years. It's huge! Minifig scale! It integrates perfectly with the modulars. This is clearly an investment homerun, and will be well bought. Even then, every future AFOL will want this set after EOL; I can see demand for this rivalling the very best of other EOL sets. I think this set will set the benchmark for what a great exclusive can do in the well-hoarded era, provided it doesn't become another TB or DS with infinite life. (I almost wish the price point was above $300 to discourage some hoarding/investment. At $200, this set is a great deal). This set is so good, it makes the Mixer an almost insta-buy for investment purposes. Given that 99% of future AFOL will want this set, some subset will want to complete the theme with the Mixer.

I want to see somebody moc this up with some led's to light up the Transparent pieces on the spokes of the wheel. That would be pretty badass. Happy with the $200 pricepoint, seems like you get a lot compared to the $150 of the prior set.

Interesting timing for it to disappear right when i'm going into hoard mode on this to get my quota. They forgot to include the LEGO cigarettes and smoke-making brick for this set - I watched this movie last weekend for the first in a long time and I couldn't believe like in every scene they are puffing hard on cigs - i was a teen seeing this in the theater when it came out and don't remember it being like a nonstop smokefest but man, how the times have changed. Now they would be vaping it up - maybe you could trap a ghost in a vape refill cartridge.

To cut a long story short, some of us investors are wishfully thinking that PS and PC will go this year because we like the idea of short production runs (PC) as that makes us more money, whereas the more prudent suggest that PC is premature. The most pessimistic even feel that PS is not done yet. Truth is we have no real idea but as with Lego sales it is always more fun to speculate about what might happen than wait for the actual event. If you are building a portfolio, it is a good idea to get some of all 3 to cover base as you never know. Later, extras can always be added when there are promos.

Man I love getting the mail. 60 sets in 2 days makes me feel like Im spending too much money.

Both HH and GE have - and will - perform fantastically well. It's a fool's errand to try and pick which one you "should have" invested in with 100% hindsight. Each of these sets is a clear winner, and you didn't make a bad choice in investing in either. You'll drive yourself crazy in this game if you try to retroactively question your portfolio with "what if" questions". Heck, with what I know today I wish I had invested every dollar I had in NIB sealed Market Streets. Worth about $1500 today, with an initial buy-in of $90. Percentage wise, they've done even better than the holy grail Millenium Falcon and Grand Carousel.

See title. Exclusives (Slave 1, Ewok Village) included!

To resolve this dilemma call LEGO Shop at Home they will tell you they have plenty in stock. Seriously. You all do not have to debate this any more it is a system glitch and at least the US LEGO Shop at Home I was told has a ton of them in stock. Take it to the bank, hotcakes and TRU parking lot.

Just throwing this out there... Fairground Mixer and Ferris Wheel. Okay great. Now, start adding in Jokerland. And Joker's Funhouse. And the Go-Kart polybag. And the Hot Dog Stand. And the Flower Stand poly. The pieces are there for a true Fairground to be hatched.

​Not having a clue about baseball, I'm guessing a triple is 3/4 of the way round the diamond thingy? Sounds about right to me.

​We will look for hints for *anything* *anywhere* On topic...I am *so* excited for this set. I, personally, have been waiting for this set since it was rumored to be coming. I'm very happy about the price point, I'm extremely happy with the power functions, and I just *love* the look of this set. This is a home run for me, and I'm going to get this as soon as I can, and get this built as soon as I can. I just absolutely love this.

​I think he likes it boys and girls

Awesome. Price is good. Will be adding the power function for sure. We'll see what other sets Lego reveals this year...but so far this is my candidate for '2015 set of the year'.

Confirming I will be hoarding 50 of these sets before it retires.

The White House sells insanely well. I don't know when it's going to go (if) :), but I have no doubt this will be a winner when it goes - assuming they don't immediately replace it. This holiday season I specifically paid attention and watched area B&******'s stack about 100 of these, and they all sold without issue.

41, married man, 3 kids: 13+9+7. Computer Professional and University Lecturer. recently Interested in Lego innovation and I wish to do some cool technic ideas and also Lego Mindstorms + Matlab projects. I'm also trying to establish a Lego business for my wife but it is not so easy to start. But never giving up. I'm currently collecting more parts, practicing with Technic and reading few books. My oldest daughter is a Lego fan, this is here first house after buying a pile of white bricks and roof slopes (with other parts we already have)

As per tradition since 2005, Lego holds an annual special event known as the Lego Inside Tour and at the end of these if you were one of the lucky few to attend then an exclusive set would be given as a gift commemorating the tour. Here is this year's Inside Tour exclusive. Also, The New Elementary has a review up for your curious perusal. via The Brick Fan

​It's the same affiliate data source that Brickset uses. Stock levels are available in (near) real-time but Brickset only updates the graphs once a day. Here's the corresponding news article on Brickset: http://brickset.com/article/14929/new-feature-shop-lego-com-stock-level-graph And another interesting detail regarding LEGO Shop at Home fulfillment that I always assumed is confirmed (more or less): "[...] there are two distribution centres, one in Europe and one in the USA. The European centre ships to all of Europe and also countries in Australasia and Asia that are served by shop.LEGO.com. Thus, the figures in the German product feed [...] will show stock available to be shipped everywhere except North America."

​Or buy it now even if it is just a website glitch and stock up on it early and not quote that I got it at a lower price

​The 3 biggest winners of the sets to go EOL in the last 12 months have been GE, HH, and TH. After this, you have Mixels (and before you SSD me, that set hasn't doubled in value; all the previous one have. Only TH arguably meets the "rarity" criteria, but certainly not "rarity" by CC or GG standards, and GE and HH violate both your rules, as most certainly do Mixel Series 1, they were everywhere and wholly invented inside the Lego Universe. I think there's a completely different dynamic, and that's collectability, set design, and perceived appeal. If a design is particularly appealing or good + that set is part of a collected series or theme, that's the recipe for doing "quite well" IMHO. Exhibit A: Modulars. Or, to be a bit more broad, basically any Lego exclusive.

with PF, you need to use the battery box. it isn't like 9v train tracks... i've been using the PF battery box with my 41999 and it's surprisingly good with battery life. just buy rechargeable AAs. ​

Hmmm, can we agree now that "FW" refers to the Ferris Wheel, and not Fallingwater?

​I have this set and I think it's easily a top three Star Wars set of all time. It has a presence when displayed. It's HUGE! There are definitely issues with the nose sagging after time so be careful if you are buying a used set. This can be easily remedied though with some modifications/extra bracing added to the inner frame. I did this with mine and all it took was some common pieces. Mine has been on display for three years now with no sagging issues. I will try to post pics later with my mods to the inner frame. As for the magnets, they're ok, but they could've provided bigger/stronger magnets. I have no issues moving my ISD around when needed. Ironically, someone just posted theirs for sale on CL in my area and the nose is sagging a lot. Here's a pic from the ad. It looks pretty awful but like I said, you can easily prevent this from happening. Oh, and another thing, this guy with the sales ad doesn't have the ISD sitting properly on the display stands/legs. It's not supposed to sit that low.

Don´t panic! There is no way they sold all that stock in one day - I bet it´s crazy uncle at the wheel of the hyperlink truck again. What I would say is that when they do such a large restock compared to previous ones it could mean that this is the final run - It´s something I am following on the data to see if there are any patterns - do regular small restocks mean no eol in sight and big ones like that of ecto or EV mean the end is near? Or maybe there just isn´t any logic.

​I agree, your daughter is very gifted BloxBH! Welcome to the forums!

​Based on the picture of the back of the box at least we know that it is capable of adding power functions!

Sets I plan on unloading in the near future. 5 70702 Warp Stinger 5 60010 Fire Helicopter 6 9450 Epic Dragon Battle 8 6866 Wolverine Chopper's 18 9476 Orc Forge 4 10215 Jedi Starfighter 3 7964 Republic Frigate 2 7879 Hoth Echo Base 6 7965 Millenium Falcon 6 9515 Mavolence 4 4842 Hogwarts Castle 3 4195 Queen Anne's Revenge 2 7498 Police Headquarters Any thoughts?

​They can still be purchased separately. Including them only drives up the price and makes it less accessible to buyers, so I can see why they wouldn't do it.

​Is there any reason to think this will not have exactly the same function capabilities as the Mixer? I think it's pretty clear that the Ferris Wheel will be PF ready, but no PF will be included. My reasoning: 1. S@H Calendar states FW will turn with a crank (functionality established). 2. The box art shows no PF being included (lack of PF in the box established). Am I missing something?

Wow, are we hardcore fans or what...this box size 'comparison' pic might go viral like that silly blue vs gold dress thingy on youtube lol. Soon all the talk shows will be discussing this

​Bit late (only just saw this), but this is great! I love R2's model, except for the blocky/study-like head. Now don't get me wrong i'm not against studs being visible, but R2's whole body is pretty much barren of visible studs. So to have a blockyish head with tons of studs was always a bit contrasting. I've placed an order for these parts and looking forward to rounding him out Thanks!

Thirsty, I'm not trying to call you out but, this post is a perfect example of why anyone thinking about getting into this needs to sell a few items BEFORE they wind up with a portfolio worth $70k. Buying is easy, finding deals is a thrill. Selling, no matter what platform you're on is hard. Anyone doing this needs to know that. Good luck, I've sold on eBay for over a decade and am, for the most part, happy with it.

New item to hit the sales/flip goal. 79003 - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Gathering - EBay free ship - $110

Hi there! I'm a new potential investor and part time lego builder who works as an environmental education teacher in Florida. I thoroughly enjoy playing legos with my 6 year old daughter and seeing how amazing she is with them. I look forward to chatting and learning about lego investing with you guys and girl(s).

I am a southern gal and will be 65 soon. I am big into Halloween and grandkids and bought the Haunted House and became hooked. My 5 year old grandson is over the top regarding Lego and we build together with help from grandsons' dad who is coming more into the dark side with us now that he is building with his son. I do mostly the Modulars but will stray occasionally into other themes if the mood strikes me. My dining room table is covered with Lego in various stages I was stunned that Lego is collected for investment purposes. The secondary market for retired sets makes one head spin and wallet empty!! Bought the Black Pearl on eBay...wish I had been into Lego when it first came out! Found this site looking into the release date on the new Avenger Heli

Sorry, I have no plans to open either one yet! Attached is my wife's copy. Top is signed by Mads Nipper and bottom is signed by the designer. I, being the huge and great lego fan I am, have forgot his name.

Thanks for making my life easier. Clicking "Like" is so much less work than writing all that

I'm 29 and thankfully my dark ages are behind me :)
