TRU has over 999 Droid Escape and they still haven't gotten rid of their clearance Sith Infiltrators or RTT. BN has over 1400 Flatiron left last I looked not to mention you can get them for $28 on BL. I don't want to say the "B" word but if you look at a Bell curve we are definitely approaching +2. Unless LEGO decreases the number of sets produced per year or you are lucky enough to only pick short run sets I do not see much of a chance for recovery. Mods now please move all this talk to the bubble thread. Thank you. Pretty cool stats! Thank you. How did you check how many Flatiron sets are available at B&N?

I don't buy much on BL, but I was interested to hear they've got 21023 Flatiron at $28... was thinking about buying... but (if I'm reading the listings correctly) all of the $28 - $38 range listings are European sellers (mostly Czech). Lowest North American price on BL appears to be $39.95 + shipping.

If they show the sale price when you reserve them they should ring up at that price when you pick them up. It's strange how some stores they ring up with no issues while at other stores they fight it. It's a national sale. It should be the same at all locations. My two stores everything rang up at the sale price with no issues. I picked up 5 more White Houses and 2 more Capitol Buildings today. I've reserved 4 more Capitols for tomorrow. Online sale price when I reserve is what they have been ringing up at. That worked out great! Grabbed 4 Trevi fountains, 1 imperial hotel and a Capitol building. They had some of the new superhero sets out, but they weren't ringing up with the discount.

Once it did, then it rose in value. The Palaptines Arrest had the same effect. Droid escape is the wrong set to plug, because that's like the old landspeeder from years back. For some reason those tattoine droid based sets take a while to move. But, other similar sets like Hoth Attack, which everyone bagged is appreciating, and obi-wans interceptor which was a clone of anakins is also appreciating. Also, in the architecture world, the White House and Lincoln Memorial are seeing great initial growth far surpassing last years sets. DC based sets are obviously better than NYC based sets in demand, because the White House had the longest lifespan of architecture sets. The Lincoln Memorial one of the shortest. Soo... I'm still not sold on this bubble. I do agree though that there are many that don't analyze the market and buy too much of the wrong sets or themes. Nexo Knights? Come on... did they not learn from previous themes like Ultra Agents, Galaxy Squad, Chima etc? Wait... You're telling me that I was wrong to load up on Nexo Knights at MSRP?

Lowest North American price on BL appears to be $39.95 + shipping. Exactly, I am not much of a global economist but looks like EU prices are suppressed, may be an American sets thing versus their economy has issues as I was able to do this with Lincoln Memorial as well but buying EOL Arch sets below MSRP is a good deal for me. Plus I like small boxes better to get 10 Flatiron shipped for $300 USD (Just ask the guy he has a source) then 1 Sandcrawler IMO.
February 26, 20178 yr 6 hours ago, nolanfan34 said: Same here. To me it's pretty simple, next October/November some parent types "Lego Santa" into Amazon, this is the first thing that's going to pop up. Good piece count for $5 too. actually the first thing that comes up is Santa's Workshop this year, next year and probably forever. There are multiple smaller sets with Santa minifigures. This set shows up #4. When you look at all the Santa sets available, this is the worst. Lacking minifigures is a weakness . I'm not saying that might not stop you from making money with a $4.99 buyin. Already $13 on amazon, Should be able to get to $15-20 at which point its a double your money with a fixed low shipping cost like these. The reason why I'm not buying these is I'm waiting to see if the price drops further. I don't want to be stuck at $4.99 buyin when they drop the price to $2.50 later this week because no one is buying. Edited February 26, 20178 yr by cladner
February 26, 20178 yr Found it in store...what is it?...new coupon?Better view... Pretty sure that is TRU and that is NOT a unique code.

February 26, 20178 yr All my TRU stores today had the 15% off coupon. Its just printed on a piece of paper they keep it in the drawers. Just ask for it. Its posted all over the store that any item ending in .8 is valid for the extra 15% off.

February 26, 20178 yr Grabbed the last RTT at TRU today (that a reseller hid behind others with a Droid Escape that I left for him) and asked for the additional 20% off clearance because I "forgot mine at home". No resistance. I think the sale is over today though huh? Edited February 26, 20178 yr by amrandazz

February 26, 20178 yr Found quite a variety of lego architecture sets at B&N for 25% off. Any specific ones besides capitol, trevi, and flat iron to get? Edited February 26, 20178 yr by Jman444
