@Deadfraggle has a blog in progress. I will add my thoughts and a pic of my modified version to that blog once it is complete.

@marcandre keep an eye out

There is an open one (complete with box) on CL by me for $100. I haven't started a modular collection but it is a future goal. Is this a no-brainier price?

Sure, MAYBE 90, but make sure it's all there and not too dirty and it's not a bad deal.

I would buy that right away at $100 if it is complete. You can not get it over 30% off without some serious magic or selling off promos.

Allow me to clarify. Do you think that potential of using PS to rebrick 10185 and 10182 will add to the demand for this set?

So you're wondering if using the common pieces from the PS towards a sand blue GG and part of a CC will boost it's demand? Are _any_ of the pieces that are common expensive or exceedingly rare if bought on Bricklink, etc? If yes, then maybe a little... if no, then not at all.

I'll say this as gently as possible, but that's a piece of research you should and could do on your own if you think it's possible. Otherwise, you're just asking a question blindly hoping someone has the answer for you.

But since you asked it in the right thread, and I've got some time.... FWIW my gut instinct tells me the answer is no. Aside from the $50 or so in Sand Blue bricks, there is not enough quantity of any of the other valuable parts to be worthwhile for parter-outers to acquire this set in bulk (not to mention the other valuable parts like the 2x4 light bley tiles aren't exactly rare or are likely to become rare). Also, anyone who is truly going to drive up the value of rare bricks wants the real thing, and not some knock-off even if it looks good. i.e. I'd have never paid $700 for a CC with substituted colors.

IMO The true value of modulars like PS is as a sealed set for those who decide to collect modulars later or expand their city without the hassle of bricklinking their own.

(in case anyone cares, the part-out value according to BL is roughly 2x MSRP as of this posting which is pretty typical .. most of the value is in those sand blue bricks and the larger plates. Next up is the dark blue bricks, the larger 1x16 bricks and the tiles that make up the street with a few odds and ends like 2 of the 2x3 slopes in red that can be used as subs for CC)

Seen in my LEGO Store : 46S05

No newer seals seen ?

Over the past few weeks I have seen all modulars except PS (and brick bank of course), available at TRU.com.  They seem to have finally received a massive shipment of exclusives. Did anyone see PS available?  also absent was Ewok Village.  Normally I would not put any stock in TRU availability but it is interesting to see everything available, except PS.

EV was available for a while.  I ordered a pair from TRU.  They arrived yesterday in a LEGO carton.  2015 seal codes.  Mint.

This is temporarily out of stock in U.S Shop @ Home now. Would this be another trap? or finally........gone? 

This better do well after EOL!

im kinda regretting buying 20 of them now tbh

 

Methinks a lot of quick flip dumping will go on when this one bites the dust that will make the Tumbler flippers seem patient.

Still there on the aussie LEGO Shop at Home. Limit 1

No! This can't be done. I was collecting the wrong one. I thought the rumor was Parisian Restaurant was doing a "Town Hall" because Lego hates resellers and wanna stick it to us...

You can always open them and build a row of townhouses... plus a Pet Shop that is 22 stories tall.

Thanks

Found a listing for $88 with free shipping. Seems too good to be true, but I ordered one. Looks like she has around ten available, along with a couple other sets.
