Thanks Ed.

Now what do we do?

What do we do? It's time to cue up the creepy marching dog video that Exciter posted the other day, that's what!

PS is going to be a case study in present day Lego investing. Interested to see how it will do once gone.

It's probably already been mentioned somewhere in this heap (search only helped a bit), but Mystery Machine not available at Target any more.

Dear Grumpy Old Men,

RRP is irrelevant.  Buy-in is King.  We will try to stay off your lawn.  We won't complain about the walk to school, as we know it used to be much more difficult.  In kind, please keep any sentences that begin with "back in my day" relegated to discussions with other people who made tons of easy money doing this and now complain because it's harder.
Sincerely,

Current Lego Investing

If You Can Read This, You're In Range.

Those signs are how the Grumpy Old Men declare themselves where I live, anyway.  Once you set foot on their lawn, it's already too late...

the whole theme except the little mummy set are gone from target.

walmart was out of stock of the Mystery machine but got some more today.

kmart has inflated the price on its remaining stock of Mystery mansions and lighthouses above msrp in a target  and tru-like move.

starting to think this theme has surprise potential to the upside.  i am fully stocked on mystery machines (40) but need to get more of the others..

I only really like the Mansion and Mystery Machine. I really like the MM, just wish I didn't have to pay tax at WM.

176 sellers on Amazon. The secret has not been very well kept 

Plot twist, Tower bridge / t1 van / pet shop all retire before the year. The holy trinity is complete.

That would be so 2014. Maybe Mini and T1 will go together and Palace with Pet Shop. Everything is retiring!

Glad i only have 12 petshops.  Sights set elsewhere.

Time to exit GE stock.  Prices are reasonable.

lets be real, the maze is a poor seller because there were 6 other things that would have sold better and they just didn't decide to make them the winners that time around.

glad I have 0 pet shops :-)

If you want a nice set of row houses in your town, you need at least 2.

...i need to dig and count mine, i hope less than 10.

Raptor Rampage, Dilophosaurus Ambush, Scooby Lighthouse and Mystery Machine are now sold out (C2C before, LEGO Shop at Home.de).

Define "soon". 45S7 is still a year from now.  

He´s clearly been inhaling too much Doctor Who time machine plastic.

Or he's built a life size tardis from all of the sets he bought from Tesco and gone into the future to find to his horror that it wasn't retired because of a recent spurt in sales caused by him!
