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.

supraboy888 : Thank you for the code on TRU! I've been searching on google to find it, but in vain. I just bought 4 x 6866 (Wolverine's chopper) and 1 x 10197 (Fire Brigade) using this little 10% rebate. Nothing else other than those 2 were of any particular interest...

You're welcome. You're right, nothing else were really interesting or worth buying aside from those. The barrel escape went real fast this morning.

The good thing is that if they suddenly put a 20% discount on Wolverine's chopper, you can just take your items to TRU within the next 45 days and get reimbursed.

I went to TRU today and the shelves had only 1 Unimog left. Someone cleaned it out because I was there just a week ago and there were at least 8 there. No more unimogs on TRU's website.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Baxter Robot is worth an extra look. $39.95 with 10% off.

The Turtle Lair got ****** up rather quick.

Not really unfair. Initial price for them 199 vs 149 . Bwing is retired for sure , brigade is sold out. Pretty good offer

On amazon they are around the same price now

The price difference between the US sites and Canadian sites is currently $22 depending on taxes. That's a lot better than normal. Still not as good as shipping to the US (:

True, but the thing is when I need to flip the products, the FB moves like hotcakes. Every piece of the FB I get, I post it on classified and they get snatched up for $240 a piece, the BWing can't offer me the same returns. It takes foooooorever to unload one BWing. Not a good business approach for me if my products are moving. I've only sold one BWing so far in the past 3 months. And I priced it at $175 and the bum was trying to knock off another $5 telling me that if I don't drop another $5, I got dead money sitting there.

Well, 1 to 1 is for those who want bwing ( to have it) 5 to 4 for those who does business with it

So apparently TRU canada will not sell/ship to USA?

That's correct, and TRU USA won't ship to Canada either, but that doesn't stop me as I just buy from the US and ship it to the border for pickups. Get the best of both worlds here. heheee..

supraboy888 : You have a friend who lives just south or the border?

Nope, I just have it shipped to a receiver at the border. There are quite a few in Blaine. Just go during the weekdays to pick up, once a month or so. I just accumulate the orders and send an email to my manager and tell him I'm sick in the middle of the week, go for a drive in the morning when traffic non-existent.

A receiver... Someone suggested I got a UPS store (storage) in the USA and pick it up once in a while. Are you talking about a UPS store?

I'm using other shipping companies, one in Blaine and one in Point Roberts. The rates are all standard. You can just google up Blaine parcel/storage, same with Point Roberts. It's usually $4-$6 per parcel. So it's better to group an order from Amazon.com in one shot with around 4-5 sets. Don't pay more than $6 for storage per parcel.

On amazon they are around the same price now

I look at revenue generating rather than current worth and expected value. If I could sell some BWings, it wouldn't be a problem trading, but I'll end up hanging onto the bwing dead weight and my friends would call me a sucker for this.

if the 10197 will not be in the january catalogue this means that is EOL?

Catalog means nothing. They could still show it there and retire it in February.

I agree, it has not been in the UK catalogs since at least September. Still on the shelves though. Hopefully not for much longer......

Fire Brigade finally sold out on Canadian TRU. Game is up with this puppy.

Saw the first used one go for above UK RRP a few days ago.

Of course, this could just be the Christmas rush. Time will tell.... :)

It's at 220 with 1 hr left in the bid, additional 30USD for shipping.

It could be a x'mas rush but regardless, any items that are sold now will not make it on X'mas. Get ready for the Fire Brigade rocket to lift off. Those who thinks or says the FB won't rocket as high as the GG will be in for a surprise. I know people who build a line of FB, not just one. Can't have a bunch of GG lined up on a street, but definitely can have it line up with the FB and look cool.

Finally FB is sold out at TRU.ca. So glad I ordered 2. Now, the listings begins.

I sort of wonder how many sets TRU had left when we started buying up the last batch. Us Canadians tend to be slow on the uptake. All the talks of discontinued items here and there and we are heavily stocked in everything, from the Winter Village Cottage, to Vampyre Castles, Lone Rangers, you name it. Yesterday, I went to the Lego store, took my time and bought all 5 remaining Kingdoms Chess each for $60 taxes included using my VIP points. I called TRU today, both stores here have tonnes of Vampyre Castles and I will show them Lego LEGO Shop at Home selling them for 90CAD, they'll need to price match and hand them to me at 81CAD a piece. During Halloween, I was flipping the castles for $120 a piece and the buyers were so happy to get them off me and saving all the taxes. I can sit on these till next halloween and unload for at least $150. So if you're in Canada, start scooping all of these up.
