Once you pop you can't stop.

I had a similar experience 5 or 6 years ago with the 10179 Falcon. I had 2 $400 Falcons sitting in my cart and I thought, "Boy, that is a lot of money, I have enough LEGO sets!" and didn't buy them. Fast forward 5 years and I kick myself everyday for not hitting that buy button.

Same with the Taj Mahal and Grand Carousel. Both were sitting in the basket and I decided not to spend anymore. Grrr....

Merging into the SSD thread

Pushing the button!!!

It kills me that I remember these sets at Legoland California. And thinking to myself, "who would pay $250 for a Lego set."

Yeah

Yay! I just won the last two eBay auctions on these bad boys! $630 shipped, each. That's 5 for me this week. =) ...Wish I had Mark's dough to buy all these up like he was doing with the crawlers.

Ha. No, I placed 2 bids on that one.

Wow, i am impressed with this set BP'ers paying that is a great sign. ****** em up guys so they can cross and stay over 700, on the way to $800.00

Didn't someone purchase a couple off of the Sears shopping network?  I saw them pop up this morning at 510 (marked down from 620).  But when I placed them in my basket, they were already gone.  Anyone BPers on the Sears sets?

I was thinking the same way until I thought ''there also are people who buy the new iphone 500/600 dollars every year''.

I grabbed one off Sears at retail and one at $510. The retail one shipped and the other one came back as "out of inventory." Then the seller jacked the price and re-listed it at over $900. At least I got one.

received my stash of 10221. this time TRU surprised me. they all came in LEGO package. of course 2/box. all from 11/12. and i didn't bother checking the seal

 

the seal of 1 single looks like it 50R1. i would have preferred that they shipped my previous order like this as well...

Wow, do you want to sell me some of those?

.. not really its a corner of entrance to the house. that's where delivery lands. then it gets inventoried and moved to the their home based on category.

Should I pick one of these up at $600 plus shipping? That is a lot for me right now.

If you can't part with that money and still be ok financially then don't buy it as there will be other hot sets in the future to buy. Just chalk it up to a learning experience and move on.

If you don't have the extra money to invest, then the answer is no.
