so about those GE........

I demand them to be retired!

Ordered some 7/30 and still not shipped. Hoping to get shipped next 2 weeks. Don't remember what date was on their as expected ship date when I ordered but I can tell you it was before now! Think it was end of August.

so about those GE........

 

 

EXACTLY.  i just cleaned up over 10 posts.  please keep the posts on-topic.  metric vs non-metric,  Fahrenheit to Celsius, etc.. is way off topic. 

 

Stay on target!

 

Q: What intrinsic value bump does being a corner piece add to a Modular set?

Q: What intrinsic value bump does being a corner piece add to a Modular set?

I don't think we have enough examples of retired modulars yet to provide a statistically meaningful answer (we only have one retired corner piece, for example).  If anything, it seems like Lego overproduces corner pieces (relative to "normal" modulars).  Most real city blocks have a ratio of normals to corners of something like 10:1.  Lego has now made three corner pieces and five normals (my apologies if I've missed one), so there ought to be more than enough corner pieces to go around, for those looking to build modular neighborhoods.  On the other hand, corner pieces might display better on their own, so perhaps they're more widely sought by collectors?

I assume that the reason that lego does corner pieces quite often because when kids and new fans of lego see them they think that just those 3-4 modulars would look great with an end bit, even though there are more end bits out there.

Side note to Jeff or Ed if you see this, My iPhone does this double post thing to very large threads while on smaller threads it doesn't have an issue. It says it times out.

Yes we know. We are waiting for the new version of the mobile forum app.

Ebay toyrus has the new Santa lego set

That's for Sept. 29 to Oct. 6th for us 'Muricans.

Back order date is slipping.

And now were back to the 29th. This set really needs to shoo and stop getting back ordered!

that's because people forgot about this one and are running after:

10228 haunted house

10226 sopwith camel

21103 delorean

 

in another few days this should be back in stock

Back in stock? I want it gone.

I thought maybe I hit the jackpot when I found two grand Emporiums in my local Target on the end cap. They don't carry these at my target and the end cap is where they often keep clearance items. I couldn't believe my eyes. Then I saw the red sticker on them, and my excitement grew. Online item it said. Yes!!!

often that means a 30% discount, if not more. The item was marked down from...... $226.99 all the way down to $158.99.

Targets inflated near end of life system just hosed me.

The boxes were trashed and open. No point in getting these when I can get them for less at lego with the bonuses.

Oh well. It was at least exciting :)

Wow, even their 'discount' just lowered it down to Toys R Us pricing. Dang. :resent:

poof

Bought one GE from Amazon yesterday afternoon, received shipping confirmation @2:16 am today.

Finally, "Sold Out" again on LEGO Shop at Home usa

Finally, "Sold Out" again on S@H usa

 

I am curious what Amazon's latest GE's production codes are.

What are the chances I receive mine that I ordered on 7/30 since it's now sold out? Do they fill all previous orders?

I hope so, I have one ordered from Aug 14th and one from Sept 4th.

I ordered five 7/30 as limit was five. Really hope they come. I'll actually be pissed if they don't. If anyone ordered after that date and received them already please let me know.

I hope so too. I just started in this Lego investing and if they all get cancelled I will have 0.     

 

 

But what the heck...I can just buy them off Ebay at a premium and hold for the long term.

Man the big exclusives are dropping like flies. Did everyone switch back to the GE after HH and SC sold out? I really hope this one just stays down; no more revivals!
