Are you still following through with the 3-1 ratio to BSSS from your previous post? Personally I'm not a real believer in the BSSS, it doesn't do anything for me. Quote

Personally I'm not a real believer in the BSSS, it doesn't do anything for me.I checked the acronyms thread and searched back 10 pages but couldn't find it. What, may I ask, is BSSS? Quote

Kids left with some rescue bots and legacy power ranger stuff. Will be visiting the Lego store near Flatiron tomorrow but with the dollar crappy I'm only spending my VIP points! Quote

KyrknKlay Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 My local TRU had one left. Online it shows $125.99. Even if I only use just the 20% coupon, would this be worth getting as investment? Hard to tell with the back and forth. Quote
justapilgrim Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 At around $100 and a bricktober set, I like it Quote
brickolodon Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 116.95 @TGT website and eBay...need to PM i got b4 Quote
fossilrock Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Looks like the Lonely Mountain could have been a casualty to 2xVIP. YEAH! DIE SMAUG DIE! 79018 The Lonely Mountain Price $129.99 Call to check product availability 4 Quote
Locutus001 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Just bought it for the dragon ^.^If I remember correctly it has been gone for quite some time from LEGO Shop at Home Europe so I guess it was about time. Quote
fossilrock Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Just bought it for the dragon ^.^If I remember correctly it has been gone for quite some time from LEGO Shop at Home Europe so I guess it was about time.It's actually retired in Europe. I think that happened in June, if I remember correctly. They had a fire sale on hobbit and lego movie sets and many were retired during that period. Quote
legoray01 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 The Lego store in Troy MI had a bunch. The TRUs in Oakland County, MI have a bunch. Meijer has a bunch (And those are in Oakland and Macomb County MI) as well so I am glad it looks like it is thinking of going but there are still a truck load out there to be had. I was pulling them down for $70 to $80 a piece and it has lasted longer than I thought it would so let's make it go away!!! yeah. Quote
Achilles Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Not to poop in anyone's cheerios, but the general unimpressive performance of the Hobbit/LOTR in general makes this seem like a big risk at the buy in price. Why do people feel this will fare better than say, Helm's Deep or Mines of Moria? Simply the Dragon? Quote

I was pulling them down for $70 to $80 a piece and it has lasted longer than I thought it would so let's make it go away!!! yeah. I bet these are gone very soon. Walmart, TRU, and Amazon still have them at a price of 116.00. They are gone at target. I've been sitting at my target for a while on these, but i'm always tempted to buy some more. The prices have spiked in europe, but i'm hesitant to buy more because i'm not sure they will do the same here in the states. Other than the Unexpected Gathering, most of the theme has idled to barely going more than 20% above RRP and most of those sets are nearing or already beyond a year of retirement. But I do think the LM is up there with UG in terms of potential. Quote
brickolodon Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Got lots from lego store sales last time moving little by little now at 169.00...so, why NOT Quote

If you look at EU sales you will want to stay well away from Smaug unles the drago be slain at 50% off. Quote

Why do people feel this will fare better than say, Helm's Deep or Mines of Moria? Simply the Dragon? It's definitely a risk but it's a short-lived set with the best Lego dragon mould yet, so there is hope. Quote
Val-E Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Probably a long term hoard as no risk of a remake. Currently selling for under RRP in Europe on Ebay 4 months after EOL. Quote
Lego_Monsters Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Bet you this would triple ROI after retirement. No one expected the EEE to cost this much after retirement... Quote
Wildemar Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Probably a long term hoard as no risk of a remake. Currently selling for under RRP in Europe on Ebay 4 months after EOL.And here I am thinking Germany belonged to Europe...recent eBay sales Quote
Val-E Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 And here I am thinking Germany belonged to Europe... recent eBay sales I´ll take the first item on your list as proof of my point Quote
