Autographed copies only $666!!!

I prefer $777 lol

 

What a tease

I meant to ask this earlier, who designed the artwork for the cover?  Was there any debate about which sets to include or showcase?  Was this all on the publisher?

We all collaborated on the cover.  No debate really...To put the most iconic LEGO set of all time on the cover was a no brainer.  The publisher gave us a lot of leeway.  It didn't hurt that the new STAR WARS movie including the Falcon was coming out a month after the book is released.

These will be a nice quick flip if I can use TRUTH, 20% off, 15% off, $5 off $25, discounted gift card, and get the AT-DP poly bag. 

All the sudden having this thought... did you guys have to get permission from LEGO to use their name as the name of the book? I have heard something like their brand name is a trademark thing...

I wrote LEGO, they are aware of the book. 

Looks great. Congrats! Very exciting for you I am sure!

Any hidden Easter eggs in the book like TRUTH, hotcakes or QFLL or did you keep it strictly professional ? :-)

It's getting more real now.  Finally got some copies delivered.  A few will be going out for review. Obviously Mom and Dad get one too.  At least they can say their kids were able to accomplish something with their lives!

Jeff you might want to send me one copy   , I will translate it to Spanish and  then you can start selling it in all Latin America !  And all those new "investors" will buy from me  to get all those EOL'd Sets they missed...... Win/Win !!

I really discussed the sets/themes and what makes them successful...or unsuccessful.  As I stated earlier, the emphasis was not on the tricks of LEGO investing or flipping.  The publisher wanted a book on collectibles because that's what they specialize in.  

Just ordered one online using your affiliate link.  Looking forward to reading it..

Preordered.  Thanks for running BP!

I skimmed across and read that as "ruining BP" - was getting ready to retort something like "well, that's a bit premature, innit?"  

Looking forward to this.

I guess a big shipment has come in.  Amazon is now reporting that the book will be out next week.  Its even on sale now for $16.43 39% off.

I think I pre-ordered 2, but who's counting.

Mine is on the way, looking forward to it.

Today or tomorrow?

Shipped from amazon prime early this morning.

Hopefully, mine is on it's way soon.  Speaking of Lego books, I just saw this on Amazon. Looks pretty cool.

I'll be getting mine tomorrow. 

Got a note from Amazon that my copy will be here tomorrow.

It figures, I'm traveling and will arrive while I'm gone. Would have been nice to read on the plane.
