This set is rising faster than expected.  Many didn't think it had potential as an investment, including me.

I think this one could be a long term winner. It won't be remade, has a reasonably big fan base and wasn't in production for too long.

Short production would be key to its success. I think it'll do alright. Better than Adventure time or Birds. I think in the long run, even better than the Maze.

I'm sure I'm alone in thinking like that.

No reason for it to fail in the US. New season coming soon and it was heavily discounted. In Europe, Wall-E is a better bet.

Wall-E is definitely a better bet all around. I'd rather have more Dr Who too.

I'm routinely surprised by how many of my friends are fans of Big Bang Theory. I went pretty deep on it, since it was "iconic minifigure" heavy and avail at decent discount.

But if I had that choice now? I probably would have passed, for better or worse. I wasn't prepared for the massive 50-60% off clearances around Dec 16/Jan 17.

Nice to see it's moving up, of course.

 

I wonder how the show being cancelled next year will affect this one.

The show is still running?

I've still never watched an episode.  It's probably time...

Well could be bought for around 35 Euros and is 120 Euro on Amazon, so its a winner for me, but I didnt buy much, because I did not have the feeling it would be at this price so fast. Wrong feeling - lesson learned: Series over serveral years with many watchers/fans are good investments if bought at decent discount and do not have a life span like Ecto 1 (which of course i bought a shitload of?)

I saw one episode and thought it was terrible. While I don't like it I do feel bad for folks who enjoy watching & will miss it. Never fun to lose a show your deeply invested in. 

I think I might start watching now.  Something tells me this is the best source for science on TV.

You'd think a show with so many LEGO references and pop culture themes similar to ones discussed here would be more popular on this site.  

Oh well I'm no scientist but Penny can sing soft kitty to me anytime....

One thing about this show is that it normalized “geeks”. Comics and collectibles were frequently featured, there was almost a full episode about building a Lego Death Star. Whether the show was funny or not is simply a matter of personal taste, and frankly not all that important. The free advertising for all the overpriced stuff I sling on Amazon was priceless.

Not soft anymore.

I can't help but wonder how collectible this set will be say 10 years from now. Could be that this show will be forgotten. Could also be that this show will be in syndication forever.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I read they are paying people $180,000.00 a year to pick up poop on the streets of San Francisco.

Yes.  They have a Poop Patrol.  Where is Dirty Harry when you need him?

Looked like the topic of conversation was about the environment, jobs and science so I thought it was appropriate.  I am sorry if it was out of place.

I dont get out of bed in the morning without watching at least one episode.  I’m always thankful for the suggestions from those actors on how to live my life, would be hard otherwise.

next year hoping to move to San Francisco
