I felt the first Burj Khalifa was utterly pathetic. It did quite well until the remake. 1 Quote

There are more complex Duplo sets with higher piece counts and it has still done fine despite being in production forever. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 I wonder how the remade Burj Khalifa and Guggenheim Museum sets will perform compare to their originals? Both look tempting, but the chance of a very long shelf life and regular discounts puts me off. Quote

Great profits can be had, as evidenced many times in the past, but I can't be bothered because the shelf life is such a wildcard. Quote

Villager Chris Posted December 24, 2017 Posted December 24, 2017 Very little Architecture available at the moment, online and in stores. Lego have really cut production, unless of course lines like Eiffel Tower are about to retire. Quote

I'm truly extadic! Any Chinese set is worth it's weight in gold. Most in America don't understand the Chinese economy let alone resellers. If one were to have the means to purchase 10k units of either the Great Wall or Shenghi, their inventory would not last long after retirement. As Jimmy Rogers keeps saying, the Chinese economy is the economy of the 21st century. Anyone in that economy will be rich and anyone not in it will be shut out. The only way to capitalize on the boom is if you have something the Chinese are willing to buy. Quote
