^^smart to update your will to include any sizable collection/investment!

Not even 10% of what I ordered has come in.....my wife gave permission to take over the dining room. Spare bedroom and 3 huge walk in closets are already stuffed full. And I am still buying. Just got home from tru with a bunch of friends big sets and more funhouse/hobbit barrels.

Amazing Willy! I spy...some investment winners! Where will you store sets once you run out of room? Maybe a storage unit? At the rate you're going, it might be better to buy another house... Not only for storing sets, but also in case of divorce. Can't have all of those sets out on the streets, can we?

Bought 3 helms deep and 7965 millennium falcon for $215.55 from Target.  Used 20% coupon and saved $75, price matched 7965 yo $104.55, used $75 gift card for buying an ipad mini and saved $11.35 with red card savings.  Yeah!

Picked up Dol Guldur Battle today at B&******.  Used 25% discount, member discount, and gift card from work to get it down to about $30.  Probably build tonight or tomorrow night.

Picked up 2 more City: Train Stations.  The deal was posted on Slickdeals, so these might be on the way out along with the Passenger and Cargo Trains.

6 Funhouses for $160

6x 9465 The Zombies each for 54 sFr Swiss Retail :-( ~ 60$. There are still about 10 left in the store. Dont know it the price still goes even higher than now.

Three sets that I most likely will keep in my own collection:

79002 Attack of the Wargs

70403 Dragon Mountain

And one more Uruk Hai Army

For a total of a little less than

More Funhouse sets... more Power Armour Lex
Every order I make at TRU ends up having more Funhouses put in

More Friends Animal foil packs at TRU in store. With BOGO, works out to $3 each. I noticed that my TRU restocked up on both Series 3 AND Series 2. If you don't see them in the Lego aisle, check the "Stocking Stuffers" area. There's a bin just for Friends.

 

Oh and more Monster High stuff

What was the deal exactly? BOGO through TRU? I bought two last night, and with BOGO and the Bill Me Later thing brought them down to about $32 shipped, which will go well with the two Passenger Trains I have.

I just bought them from Amazon.com using the Brickpicker affiliate link for $37.49 each.

I guess this doesn't count as "buying", but I stopped in a TRU today to look around and someone was stocking the shelves in the Lego section - probably more than 100 boxes worth. I snagged about 20 empty boxes as she was unpacking, so that's probably $50 worth in boxes for free. :-)

x5 Artic Batman vs Mr Freeze

x5 Spider cycle chase

8 more funhouses. I might have a problem.

ALL THE FUNHOUSES

I do.... currently have 20 on order..... and it isn't enough!!!!!!

ALL THE FUNHOUSES

 

This set definitely went from an under the radar set to probably one of the most purchased sets recently. It seems everyone is buying up large amounts of these including myself. I think I might slow down on them since it seems everyone is going to have a huge stockpile of them when it retires (I have 13 at the moment).

Does anyone else think that when you buy 100s of any one set you are actually hurting the value of that set and the secondary market?

I bought a nib 10186 General Grievous for my nephews xmas present. Still goes for retail, cool set. I also picked up a pet shop at the lego store and used the $10 card from black fri and got another one of those brick bags to fill up later. 

I think it's a fair question. Yet something like the Hulk Breakout set retires and still shoots up to $90....

I think this set has become the Fire Brigade of 2013. I'll pass. On topic, I bought a Hive Crawler for $27 and two Battle of Black Gates for $36 each with my 20% Target coupon.

I don't think most investors purchased the mass quantities of Hulk's Breakout as they did the Funhouse Escape. I like the Funhouse, but I can see a saturation of this set in the secondary market occuring.

Maybe in the US, but here the set is very rare. I have no issues making a good profit from the set as it is already.

Legos now arriving at front porch. Please proceed to the dining room for final sorting.

Sorry for the flipping. I have no flipping idea how to fix these on iphone.

That was this week starting Monday. That is about 50% now. Lots are coming tomorrow and most are coming Monday. Many were delayed, but most were shipped yesterday for Monday delivery.

I posted some of my dining room stage area in another thread. Here are a couple. It's worse now (better?). I'll take some new photos of the dining room when I get home.
