I think originally LEGO planned to make it more of a normal line, but was changed for whatever the reason very late.

It was cool while it lasted, but all themes come to an end.

May need to consider buying some of these cases. If this is it for The Simpsons, these are going to be worth much more than I originally anticipated. They`ve prooved far more popular as well, already OOS on LEGO Shop at Home. 

Well it's only been a few weeks and stock isn't hard to find, though they are selling (by the boxes too).

It's a great collector item, especially if you picked up the simpsons house as well.

 

How much will they be worth?  Only time will tell...

i have 2 complete sets as well (still in packs) and about a dozen extra.  i was planning to hold onto them for awhile while continuing to look for stores with full displays so i can "feel out" more complete sets.

 

edit:  they've been selling out all over san francisco.  i've managed to stay ahead of the pack in most of the stores.  however, when revisiting them, they've been sold out. 

Crap... simpsons minifigs at SAH went to "oos, ship in 30 days" la-la land

My box arrived last night.  Had fun going through and sorting them all.  Opened a set for myself and kids (they love the Simpsons) so we can display with the Simpsons house.  

 

They aren't out here until the 31st so thought I might get a jump on the local market and be able to flip them for a quick profit. Turns out a few other people have the same idea, so prices are already as low as my cost price.  But then I went direct direct to a guy who bought a house off me and he wanted 2 sets straight awy, for a decent margin above my cost, so that was good.  Now just have to sell off the extras.  Should essentially make my 16 free and a touch left over.

How many cases did you guys end up getting? I got 5 cases. Dont know if i should get more.

I didn't realize that the price dropped to $275. A few more people seem to be buying them again..

Two more sellers...a little cheaper....$272.88 and $272.79.  Both with free shipping.

What's everyone's best guess as to the max a sealed case would sell for once EOL?

I'm selling my case if someone wants it PM me.  It's unpunched but i did open the sealing tabs. 

For you guys who got the S10 cases and re-sold them.  Was it more valuable when being sold in LEGO shipping box ?  As you know, the seals on the actual display boxes are not really assuring

What do you think, would TLC freak out and waive the ban hammer, if I to order 32 (that's the current limit) Simpsons minifigs at Lego SAH?

I doubt it. Minifigs are different. They know people buy a lot in order to get complete sets. Multiple orders of the max might lead you to bansville though.

I figure it would be similar to buying a bunch of baseplates. A person needs to buy a bunch for a complete set regardless of getting repeats or not. I just hope you don't end up with thirty two Bart Simpsons. :wacko:

I bought 97 loose packs from target and not a single milhouse so I didn't even complete a set. What luck!

You should have asked a store member for a fresh box, that way you could have bought all 60 and been guaranteed of three sets

64 packs are arrive today, I'm sure to get one Apu to complete my son's set. Then hopefully, I can put together 2 more sets with my existing duplicates. Would like to sell 2 sealed sets for a little profit.

Anyone know if sealed sets are fetching an extra premium over open sets? I suppose some people are willing to pay something extra to open it themselves or leave closed.

right now, sealed sets on ebay are not consistently getting more than opened sets. 

price ranges from 78.99 - 95.

some guy has been selling opened figures in a plastic case that looks like its for spools of thread for $95 and selling a lot.

i have sold 3 sets where the upper corners were cut to confirm ID for 89.

i'm holding on to my remaining complete sets which are sealed for long term.

 

You know you are Lego-obsessed when:

I had a dream last night and I was at a store feeling a Simpsons bag in my hands and I felt a cylinder piece. Thought it was Apu, but then felt the handle! I got Ned Flanders! Lol

a set at auction went for 65 this morning too - these prices are not worth selling (at least to me) at this point.
