  1. Amazon means nothing as prices are too high and HD will not sell for
  2. I'd completely disagree with this, so far the retired LOTR's sets have done very well in my opinion. Helms deep already
  3. I'm guessing you aren't aware but the Batcave retired last year. So far it hasn't done amazing since going retired but I imagine thats due to huge levels of stock out there. Otherwise I agree with your post, HD is one of my favourite sets of recent times and will be a great investment.
  4. It's amazing how many Lego resellers believe this (I know I was originally guilty of this too!). If your selling now I'd recommend you fix it asap
  5. 5 Batman Vs Bane on sale

    Toy Story

    I think there was far too much produced and lack of interest. When they were being discontinued I would see hundreds of Toy story sets and they just didn't budge. I bet most kids who saw Toy story 3 didn't appreciate the movie because they didn't grow up with it and most adults/teenagers who did grow up with it didn't buy merchandise for it after they saw the movie, they did that when they were kids themselves. Most of these sets after selling and taking out the fee's (depending what price you got them for), there is extremely low profit margin/break even. I might sell my lot off at break even point (if they ever sell!) and reinvest the money elsewhere as I don't see any of these going up much until they are completely sparse on the market.
  7. I had to pay
  8. Considering they've only been retired a few months and the lowest on Amazon Uk is
  9. I think Lego banning members is still a minority of people who go overboard and are reckless. Lego increasing shelf life of sets, raising the prices will hurt us. I don't see fakes/knock offs being too much of a threat as there will always be people who want the authentic real Lego. As a big fan of Lego I would never consider buying fake Lego. Increase in postage/ebay fees/taxes and so on will probably be the biggest issue as profits dwindle as well as the amount of resellers increasing and giving more competition.
  10. Hi so as the mass panic happens on ebay this set is now changing hands for more than
  11. You sort of missed the boat on these. Amazon were selling them for
  12. No because Amazon is region based and on eBay once you factor in shipping/import taxes and so on I'd imagine it would balance the price back.
  13. It's annoying how much cheaper US gets them, a lot of the time it feels like i'm getting a decent discount then see in America they can get it even cheaper. However from what i've experienced so far sets in the Uk sell for higher than in the US so although we pay more initially, we do get a greater return. There is also considerably higher competition. I'll use an example Currently on Amazon, Hogwarts castle: US - Lowest Listing $320/
  14. My only complaints with this set is that Bart & Lisa mini figures don't look great just average, it would have been nice if Bart's treehouse had been included too but i assume at 2,500 pieces it was already too big. In the future I'd like to see: The school bus Power plant Moe's Bar Treehouse of Horror style set The school (or a classroom) In reality there is so much that can be done with The simpsons though, i can't wait
  15. I better start saving now because i know where my money will be going haha! Love it
  16. The majority of my LOTR sets consist of HD & Mines of Moria, I also have tons of Gandalf arrives as i got them extremely cheap (although im not expecting too much off them)
  17. All new Dc superheroes are avaliable in UK Lego shops now
  18. Ah Lego Watford shop is my local Lego store, I may have to go and grab a mines of moria before they all go. How was Batman looking in there, i before Christmas and it was completely cleaned out.
  19. Thats a huge return, my sets havent reached the stage to be sold so hopefully next Xmas will be more fruitful. Good luck with the bet, MMA isn't big in England at all so i have no idea how likely you are to win but good luck
  20. It's listed in the Lego January-June booklet so I think it's safe to assume it'll be out for a while yet
  21. I went through a Harry Potter lego phase and got them all minus the centre piece (the castle itself!) never unboxed them yet though. In the process I got scammed out of the original train and it put me off HP lego! They do look really cool though and it would be nice to see Lego combine more sets
  22. You would think that they would come out around the time of the new movie but since theres been v little news on them it does seem odd.
  23. I'd also like to know the answer to this, could be some decent profit in these if we can get more than 1
  24. In the Uk it's been retired for ages and has barely gone up (Amazon price is about
