Nope it's a legoland like I said. We do have a Lego store in the mall next to it but not the same.

Eh, it happens. You didn't break the record of 11 double posts.

That's exactly what I thought after watching a couple trailers. It's Groundhog's Day but in.... THE FUTURE!!!!

For anyone that hasn't seen this, please go- it is actually excellent. Amazing effects, good humor at times, well developed characters. Far from a mindless action movie or a standard Tom Cruise movie.

I was just describing that as ground hog day meets terminator

Did it feature any SSD-like spaceships? I am afraid we are getting way offtopic here...  :-)

Completely agree - It's really entertaining and it has Emily Blunt.

I picked up the last SSD at Legoland KC, and they still had Darth Revan figures. They had a bunch left, but would only give me one. If anyone is still looking for this figure in KC, better get down there...

the lego SSD is more like a gray version of the oscar mayer w/o wheels.

 

serious, it's a great set to own and will do well after retirement.  prob around 2.5 to 3x MSRP after 4 years.  i don't think it will exceed 10030's value due to the lack of MISB scarcity.   the higher retail price might help get it close.

Hopefully it will get close!

Yellow is 60% @ tru

Hopefully it will get close!

You won't see gains like 10030 though. It increased about ~3.5 times its $300 MSRP over a span of 10 years. 4 years after its retirement, I would guess that it was closer to $800 than the $1.3k it goes for now. $800 is 1.6x more than its original MSRP, so if the SSD were to follow exactly the course that the 10030 took, it would be worth $1040. I just don't think it is a fair comparison. We are talking about times 12 years ago, where there where investors were virtually unheard of, and people only bought to build.

You were also talking about a time when interest in LEGO sets was nowhere like it is now.  Not even close.  The 10030 was launched in 2002.  LEGO as a company was in bad shape at the time, just starting to come out of its financial hole.  The SSD will be $800 by XMAS if it retires now IMO.  I bought my first MISB 10030 in late 2007 for $300.  LEGO investing was in its infancy when the 10030 was retired.

The latest sales on eBay shows $620 shipped. $800 would be seen earlier than Xmas judging by what's going on now.

Yes, you are probably correct.  I was being conservative.  I don't want to get people too riled up...LOL

Way to late for that....people are far beyond riled up over a box of grey bricks. Money makes people silly.

I think it will grow fast, but it will stall around CHristmas or so for at least a little while because there will be a lot of people that dump IMO. Especially if you can get 250$ or so quickly and get rid of the giant thing.

A box of grey bricks gets me more excited than the money.  What I really miss are auctions on eBay.  The thrill of winning one.  I bought so many old STAR WARS sets when I started at this, it was quite a rush.  Now in days, all I buy are new sets.  I occasionally find something on eBay, but many times I just use Buy It Now. 

I believe that is what I paid but with tax came out to 330.  I am still holding out hope that at least one good star wars set is 50% off.  I still need the Jedi Defender.

I have a few, let me know if you want one still, I won't charge you the same I ask for on the eBay. Fellow Brickpickers get the VIP treatment.
