Heading down to Rio. Online for around 50-150.

As in I'm not allowed to post that picture?

So is this the legit set coming out later this year? Looks awesome.

I'm not a fan of the set. I'm sure some kid right now is starring at it wishing he could get the set. 5-10 years from now the little kid will grow up and eBay the set, if that made any sense, and buy it. I don't think many people will hoard this set, if they do they'll sell it come a year or two from now. Reasoning behind that is because I feel new investors don't like holding on to sets for 5-10 years. Again just an opinion.

Yea there's more than a baseplate that isn't in a bag inside of my sealed box. Has it ever been heard of before? Ripped lego bag inside sealed sets? Really don't want to open the set, but I think it might need to be done. I see TRU does price match with Target.com and I think its priced at 31.99 on there. Saw a couple of them at my local TRU so ill head over later today.

I'm sure some of you own the set and have built it, so this question is geared towards you guys. I got the set on sale on Amazon and it just arrived. The seals aren't broken but some of the pieces sound as if they are out of their bags. Does the set come like that? I can hear small pieces just sliding across the cardboard box from one side to the other. I know they aren't in there corresponding bags, some.

Got this set used, well below retail price. Not so pleased with the shipping box, but for the price I didn't complain much... Its been about a week and half now and I seem to still have a bunch of pieces left over. All the pieces came mixed in, so no number bags. If I couldn't find a piece after a certain time frame I'd move over to the next step. Somewhat of a frustrating build for me. Still a working process, but she is getting there. Just happy to be an owner of this amazing set.

Damn exciter back at it again with those pranks..

May take sometime, but she will get built. Used set, pieces all came mixed. First rule of the instructions broken, which is don't mix all the pieces together, and don't put pieces on the carpet, also broken. Off to a good start.

I like the holiday approach idea, but I feel that would drive the market price above equilibrium causing a surplus of GGWB in the market, thus driving the price down to equilibrium. When sellers of the set decide to sell out during the holidays they look at current market prices, and lower there's by a few dollars just to get rid of the set quicker, because they need the holiday money to buy gifts. This continues with every other seller that decides that the holiday season is the right time to sell, thus lowering the market price and not maximizing the sets true potential. I think after the holidays when kids and new fans of Lego come out of the closet and have money to buy sets from their christmas money is the right time to sell. At least a full year though after the set retires is also a good time, depending on the set of course. Modular buildings appreciate in value slowly each year. To answer the question of how risk-averse I am, I like to think I would choose to go through the closed door rather than the open one. Meaning I am not a risk-averse investor of Lego, even though I just made my biggest Lego purchase last week by buying 10188 for 310 USD, used and everything included. Liquidity? Money comes and goes. If for whatever reason I do need the money I would begin selling off my older sets that don't seem to be moving anywhere but still look great on my Lego shelf.

Question. Say you purchase the 75040-1 General Grievous' Wheel Bike. Since its doubled or close to it would you sell and use the money on the next one? Or keep it until it reaches peak? Is there an article that talks more into depth of what I am asking? Or should i just say its like the stock market? and just never know.

Got my hands on 10188, used but in great condition, 310 USD. Also Tower Bridge, open box but all sealed bags, 185 USD. Lastly I got the 3 Scooby- Doo sets that were on sale at Lego Shop at home, 107 USD.

I sense some jealousy?

My god man. Wonder what else you have in that HUGE vault. 2020, 4 years, have the kid finish high school and put him through college with Wall E's. Hopefully by 2020 our eduction will get fixed. 50k for a 4 year college is a fair price.

I got myself the Volkswagen camper, used, but with box and booklets- 75. and the Exo suit, better late than never- 29. thinking about getting the London Bridge or the Sydney Opera House to keep under my bed, thoughts? Also you guys think I should sell off my Yoda set 7194 to end up getting both the above mentioned sets? Thanks.
