Sandcrawler is doing the dance, if you've been through this before everything is proceeding as usual in the dance.

If you haven't then you're wondering whether it's staying or going, and you're nervous because you just bought a bunch of this really huge Lego set that a bunch of strangers told you was going away and would be a better investment than gold.

Folks. The owners of this site have repeatedly said that they just put the information out there and you can do with it as you please. You control your pocketbook and your actions so blaming the admins of this site won't get you much in the way of empathy from the regulars on here. You can follow the horde but I don't think that will get you very far in this game. Make a plan and stick with it. If your plan was to stockpile Sandcrawlers, then the information was put out that it just might be the next one to go so go ahead and buy your allotment. It's as simple as that. You'll drive yourself crazy and broke if retirement rumors dictate your investment strategy.

from the look of the wheel I will put it all on black

 

My son loves Super Mario, his Wii U, his 3DS and his Mario plushes and their videos on YouTube.  Don't underestimate Nintendo.

Not knocking on Nintendo,
Just the rationale that the time to buy is when people are pulling away.

Well I just sold two 10188 in a market where it was never available , and with that cash I bought 4 SC's and still have $100 left.... who says 10188 was a bust? You just need to find the right niche....  ......

Timing, niche and paid price were crucial I selling 10188s.

Sorry for going off topic, but that is so nicely done this designer can sell its own modular sets!

Not surprised at all. I feel bad for the guys sinking 3k into this set who will need to clear out this year. I'm beginning to believe Ed Mack is paid by Lego to promote sales through this site, just my own crazy conspiracy theory, and I really respect the guy and what this site has done. Its a good time for collector's of Lego to display, but probably no longer a viable safe long term investment that is predictable.

Ed's not an undercover Lego agent.  For one thing, he advocates buying to resell, and Lego corporate policy declares that to be a capital offense.  For another, he is concerned about counterfeiting, which Lego thinks is A-OK.  I also think he's just not that sort of guy.

On a related note, I do have my doubts about some of the big review sites.  Those guys remind me of stock "analysts", whose rating scale ranges from "Accumulate" to "Strong Buy!"

hahahh jrandall just huffing some solvents.

 

ive been there.

Ditto.  More and more review sites and YouTube channels sound like every set is awesome and cool.  Not the case... Some sets are duds,  lack imagination, overpriced and needs to be fairly judged.

If they don't say every set is awesome how do you expect them to get freebies from Lego when they launch massive campaigns like the Scooby-doo giant mystery box.

The only reviews I watch on youtube is Jang's and he actually goes out an buy them from TRU for review.

I like https://www.youtube.com/user/LEGOJANG the most as well.

Isnt that the same bloke?

Is the sold out, instock quick dance not just down to people getting orders cancelled for trying to bust limits?

Its certainly what happened in the UK when it came to the Mannschaft minifigures.

Anyone remember the brickshow review of the MTT that was just painful how can any one praise that after having seen 7662.
