I heard from a Lego employee...Just kidding.  It's a cool set though it seems like it would stick out like a sore thumb in a Lego store to stand alone by itself.  Who knows though.  I'm fortunate to have one.  Maybe it will get a retiring soon label to foretell it's retirement.

Rumors Lyrics

Artist: Timex Social Club
Album: Rumors

   

How do rumors get started, they're started by the jealous people and
They get mad seein' somethin' they had and sombody else is holdin'
Tell me that temptation is very hard to resist
But these wicked women, ooh, they just persist
Maybe you think it's cute, but girl, I'm not impressed
I tell you one time only with my business please don't mess

Look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

Hear the one about Tina, some say she's much too loose
That came straight from a guy who claims he's tastin' her juice
Hear the one about Michael, some say he must be ***
I try to argue, but they said if he was straight he wouldn't move that way
Hear the one about Susan, some say she's just a tease
In a camisole she's six feet tall, she'll knock you to you knees

Will you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

I can't go no place without somebody pointin' a finger
I can't show my face â'cause when it comes to rumors I'm a dead ringer
It seems from rumors I just can't get away
I bet there'll even be rumors floatin' around on Judgment Day
I'll think I'll write my congressman and tell him to pass a bill
For the next time they catch somebody startin' rumors, shoot to kill

Will you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

What's mine is mine, I ain't got time for rumors in my life
I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
What's mine is mine, I ain't got time for rumors in my life
I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life
What's mine is mine, I ain't got time for rumors in my life
I'm a man who thinks, not a man who drinks, so please let me live my life

Will you look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

Look at all these rumors surroundin' me every day
I just need some time, some time to get away from
From all these rumors, I can't take it no more
My best friend said there's one out now about me and the girl next door

Stop (Stop) spreadin' those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreadin' the lies
Stop (Stop) spreadin' those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreadin' the lies

Stop (Stop) spreadin' those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreadin' the lies
Stop (Stop) spreadin' those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreadin' the lies

Stop (Stop) spreadin' those rumors around
Stop (Stop) spreadin' the lies

I'm really not that interested in the haunted house I like the modulars like the palace cinema or grand emporium much better!

 

 

I agree with this from a building standpoint, but from an investment standpoint, the HH will probably blow the PC and GE out of the water.

 

I'm the opposite, I feel as if the Haunted House is one of the best designed "modulars". Second only to the Palace Cinema.

The first floor of the palace cinema is very nice, but the second is not very good - very basic

I'll probably be picking up at least 1-2 for every good LEGO Shop at Home promo that hits from now till EOL.

My favorite build is the GE. The HH isn't bad by any means though.

My favorite modular build would also be Grand Emporium with Haunted House being my favorite Monster Fighters set. Since Haunted House is not a modular design, both can be my favorite! :D

Aw shucks! You slick, technicality finder, you...  :spiteful:

lol I remember the thread that debated whether or not the HH was a modular or not, the consensus was it was not, but I still think otherwise ;)

These are similarly priced sets both with unbelievable upside once EOL.  If you were to invest in 20 sets, which would you choose?  Or would you consider "diversifying" and buying equal sets of both?  

 

I was just wondering what people's practices tend to be with regards to diversification.  I think both are going to be monsters in the secondary market, but I'm not sure which will provide overall better return.  

 

Another consideration would be say Technic 42009 vs Technic 8110 (Unimog)...would you just buy 10 sets of one of these pieces, or split them up and buy 5 of each?

hmm..I really like the Tower Bridge and see great possibilities for investments..However the VW also looks good.

 

I think Tower Bridge will do better. Because of the price tag off that bat a lot of people I bet are under investing in it. I think the TB will perform better than 2 VW's.

Oh, here's another one....

 

Tower bridge vs. 2 Volkswagon campers?  Same price, I believe.  Which will fare better?

 If I had to choose between 1 tower bridge or 2 campers I would buy all 3! lol :P  I think these two sets have pretty equal investment potential.

This is a good point regarding the tower bridge, in retrospect I kind of agree with this theory. :)

I diversify completely. If I didn't, I would just have 20 Haunted Houses.

 

Of the sets you mention - I have all of them so I think they are all good investments. Would I pick certain ones over others?

 

Well, a lot depends on when we think something will go EOL. Right now R2D2 and the Haunted House have not been discounted at all. I think Haunted House has a better chance of sticking around longer. If it did, R2D2 becomes my dark horse - it has seen no discounts. The cheapest way to get one is to buy one from the drop-ship scammers on Ebay.

 

As far as the Tower Bridge/VW bus combo: Tower Bridge will be much higher price in several years - but the VW camper could grow a little faster in the beginning with the cheaper price. So that one might be a less long jold even though I don't think it will ever reach 400-500$ where as I think the Tower Bridge will be close to a grand in 5 years.

Another point to bring up is the Beetle goes for 350-400 sealed, and that is an older release when there were substantially less investors. Now that people know about the potential of the VW cars, a LOT more are jumping on the bandwagon, especially at the $120 price tag. I reckon the VW will top off at 300 in a few years, which is nothing to complain about. I just feel the tower bridge will do better.

Yes definitely. The beetle was much more under the radar as well. 300 seems about right to me too. I would be very happy with that.
