Modulars

I've heard the Castle line being picked up as a Toysrus exclusive, it wouldn't surprise me to see them do so with the Coast Guard theme either.  I see something with a few sets ranging in value (maybe 5 or 6) similar to the Monster Fighters sets.

Last year, the Monster Fighters line became TRU exclusive and crushed everyone's hope and dream due to prolonged existence.   Are we expecting a repeat this year ?  Which commonly available line will become the 2014 TRU exclusive ?

 

probably galaxy squad ...

TRU is about the only place where I can find a complete selection of Galaxy Squad. Castle would be an interesting choice and probably makes the most sense.

If you noticed batman continues to be popular. Why pay a premium for minifig XYZ if another set is coming out in the next few years?

I still think AA is a winner but may have slower growth than people think

As far as superheroes/star wars etc sets with reappearing figures I think you are better to look at breaking up the theme, eg original trilogy vs prequels, batman or justice league, avengers, x-men guardians of the galaxy. I would say out of that lot there will be sets that do better than others due to their sub-theme. Try not to look at the figures invidually so much.

Kingdoms Joust backordered in EU for oct. 30. I don't know when we saw anything similar for this set. Just let it go!

The lego technic 42007 moto cross bike is OoS on LEGO Shop at Home. Available on Nov. 4th.

I would say that it's quite early for this set. Not that much, but interesting enough to see some potential.

 

It's in my "could be a winner" list, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it "sold out" before Xmas.

it should do pretty well.

TH is now available on Amazon.de, Amazon.fr and Amazon.it (directly, not marketplace) with a ship date of October 28. I wonder if this might mean more are on the way for the US as well?

Currently 25% off at Amazon UK too. Might be worth picking up a few.

Confused at .de - quantity drop-down allows selection of up to 5. but does not allow adding more than 2. Is this a real re-stock?

Amazon.es will also get Town Hall 28 October and as I said in another topic, a friends toy shop already received restock of all modulars except GE on the beginning of this week. I still think TH will retire before PS, but I speculate it will retire after christmas, beginning of next year, at least in Europe, but I also think the same may happen in US.

Well it is also strange that Grand Emporium appears as TOOS in Amazon, but it lets you complete the order. No date in this case for when it will be available. It was also strange that GE went to backorder in Lego LEGO Shop at Home Europe and hours after that to available again.

I bought two GE from Legoland in CA today. It's somehow still hanging around...

I think people have got AA all wrong.  The appeal isn't as a Batman set, it's as the only Lego psychiatric hospital on the market, and only the second ever produced.  If your Lego town doesn't have an AA, where will your troubled minifigs go for treatment?  This is why I foresee big returns for AA, though I still think it should come with Mr. Freeze...

To the streets to beg for change and do whatever else. That is if your Lego town is an American city.

Actually, the AA is great for a Halloween Town, too.

Is AA going EOL in January?? Do you think it is worth getting some of this set now and will it be similar returns to that of GE

Just remember when the Batman Ayslum does get ready to retire are you guys who said its a dud will never be worth anything, just like the HH and SSD will be panic buying this set, so I think it will be out for one more year and I hope it is don't wait to the last minute like most have been doing on the other Exclusives that just about done.

AA is a great set, whether you like or hate batman. I don

I got one for now. If something silly happens this xmas I might flip but I already stuck it in the "long term" closet with the others I don't want to look at for at least a couple years.

I want AA but I only have one TH. If they don't come back in October, I will get an AA for the double points. Being low on cash hurts

So Ed what would be your number  set to buy this year? Also is it double vip points all October?

If you guys don't have the AA when it retires, your going to need to join the AA.
