If market timing was that easy, everyone would be millionaires.

If it was that easy, our dollar buying power would be worth nothing more than it is today.

I get it...My point referred to the good ole' "LEGO is Better Than Gold" article from a few years back.  

Sweet lord, I pray we don't get another one of those...

Well, if we did that would mean that LEGO will have to outperform traditional investments like stocks, bonds and gold to such a degree that people would notice.  So on one hand, we all would benefit from increased profits.  On the other hand it would bring in another wave of "get rich quick" dilettantes.

Did someone say "get rich quick"? Sign me up.

I remember showing my son the price for NASDAQ:COKE this summer:  $130. 

I showed him a quick graph and did a valuation on the spot but didn't pull the trigger. 

Five months later it's at $210.

I'm not sure what lesson I taught him, if any.

 I do have some TBs left and I'm tempted to sell them with instructions for the unofficial MOC modular which also looks fantastic.

great, now I have a reason to open mine

I do recommend doing this! I cracked one open last year and the modular is sitting in the case with my other modulars. It's a cool and well thought out design which you could easily tweak with your own ideas. The only "complaint" is that there are not enough tiles to complete the entire sidewalk, so the exposed studs don't flow well with the other modulars. But that is an easy fix.

You could add a cement worker, actively fixing the unfinished section of the sidewalk.

Some say the airport vehicle due to short life span and coolness. But to me, the extreme adv looks cooler.

Anybody get a gang of OFSs on Black Friday and have seal codes to share? Trying to figure out if it’s done and done or if there’s another production run in transit.
