Ok so anyone have thoughts as to when the fire brigade will be retired? got to be soon, i mean there has never been 4 modular buildings for sale at the same time before. i want to buy up a bunch but i worry that because its been on the market soooo long it might be over sold, similar to the death star. Also feel free to post comments about other modular buildings, theres quite a few to talk about.

uuuuuuuuggggggggggg..... Went to the store to pick up the one they had on hold for me... It was kind of beat up. Not too bad but no way could be called mint. The edges were messed up and there was a small crease on the box. I'm so disapointed that I'm thinking of returning it. Only reason I took it was because if it is EOL I would rather have a damaged one than none. Also I had the casher look in the back and it was the last one in the store.

I wouldn't return it if I was you.  The people that buy retired sets are usually collectors, and box condition doesn't really matter unless it's a set like the UCS Millennium Falcon.  Before I started investing, I would buy sets and throw away the box right after I built the set.  It would be better to just sell the set on eBay.  They are going for approximately $190 right now.  I remember one time I bought an Orc Forge that had a few dents and a small hole punched out of it, and considered returning it, but decided not to after reading an article about box condition by Fcbarcelona101.  It was very helpful.

Return it if you feel uncomfortable about it. Just don't come by crying a few months later. hehehe....

Nice article.....crap, I should've held onto my Bwing. I sold one that was crushed. Listed for $209 and the guy said "your box is crushed, I'll pay $180 max for this." Bast&##. I got one completely crushed London Tower Bridge box, so I pulled the same stunt to get a deal a few months back, he asked for $175, I told him, I'm not touching this, nobody will want it, $125 or no deal. Sold to me at $125, everything inside was sealed. So it all worked out in the end, someone suckered me, so I had to sucker someone else to make up for the difference.

That was a really good article. Thanks for pointing it out. I guess I dont feel as bad anymore but I still like a nice box =)

Does anyone want to trade a Fire Brigade for a Black Pearl? Would love a Fire Brigade.

You can definitely post an inquiry about that in the Trading Forum. Start a new topic, and post some pictures to generate interest!

Where are you located? I'll do it.

Orlando, FL It is  not MISB but it is sealed and has a few dings.

Every time I check this thread I nervously expect someone to say that its back at Lego LEGO Shop at Home.

Everytime I check this, i'm waiting for someone to say it's finally retired.

That's why this is the time to unload. Hahaa. I'm not nervous. Sold two locally for $260cad. Rolling in two more new ones from TRU as we speak. Money in money out, rinse and repeat. I order by two so I am guaranteed to have two in stock for each rotation.

Every time I check this, I'm waiting for someone to laugh at me and talk Bwing trash.

If your black pearl has dings and mine don't, then how about you pay for both ends of the shipping. And to be fair, tell me where the dings are and I'll ding the FB box to make it fair. I doubt we will end up exchanging due to shipping costs on top. I sold my FBs but got more coming on the fly. I'll get back to you when my FBs are in next week.

When does this thing come out?  I can't wait! It looks awesome!

 

I've been going to my local Lego Store every day for the past 2 weeks hoping to be the first in the neighborhood to have one.

Watch it replace the Pet Shop and all hell breaks loose.

As long as John Lewis keep replacing the ones I take off the shelf, it ain't dead yet!

Just snatched 3 more of this baby with a 10% promo online card with TRU Canada. What a deal!

Hurry up because it'll get cut off in about 4-5 hours.

FB and Wolverine Chopper are both worth it. The barrel escape is all but wiped out. $39.99 with 10% off. What a nice deal. I got 5 myself. Only grabbed a few wolverines. The City Space Center is also worth a look. Enjoy!

That sounds a bit unfair for the 1 to 1. How about 2 Bwings for 1 FB and a Hulk Helicarrier?
