So after it hits $600 in two months, it will sit there for years?  

Sure. Or go down. See fire brigade

Just an FYI, I got an instant cancellation of my order of one Death Star from Shop at Home just now.  The last time I ordered a Death Star was September I think so they are watching.

exact same thing just happened to me

Because what I needed right now was a(nother) thousand-plus dollar hole in my balance sheet.

Looks like mine went through about 5 minutes ago...

I just ordered one. Have never gotten one from LEGO Shop at Home, be interesting to see if it gets cancelled.

Maybe that tag is just a front for a big reseller sting operation

This ain't no Fire Brigade...Just go back a few months when the 10188 went "pseudo-retired."  What did it reach in one month?

[zak001]

True story: I've never bought a 10188 until now.

another extremely important reason why

today is 12-9-15

all numbers in today are divisible by 3

the original trilogy of course had 3 movies

the prequel trilogy had 3 movies

the new trilogy has 3 movies

Star Wars Episode VII releases officially in the US on 12-18-15

all those numbers are divisible by 3

there is also 9 days between the announcement 12-9-15 and the movie release date 12-18-15

of course 9 is divisible by 3

the bonds of the force link all of this to retirement

it must be true

Good thing then I have 3 DS in my inventory.

Hey, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong and I don't get to retire to the Caymans. But if I'm right, and buy a bunch of these, that's it for my business. Risk >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> reward for me. Good luck.

[redghostx]

The REAL reason that it is marked as retiring soon is because today is my birthday (true) and this is a commemorative gift.

DUH!

Wonder how many of those were other resellers buying at 600 hoping for it to hit 1200? That's what happened with TH. Now that the speculators see it isn't going to hit $1000 and the only buyers are actual end users, the price has been going down. Sold a TH for $625 in July and can't even get views on a listing at $575 right now.

I picked up one from an Amazon FBA merchant when I saw the post. Actually saved money with the whole sales tax thing. They have promptly jumped up to 500 a piece from third parties.

The Town Hall is the one Modular that will hit $1000.00.  You can take that to the 10251 Brick Bank!

The magic word is patience. If I'm not rich in 5 minutes... well the bubble is over. The party burst. I'm out...

You may be right, but how long will that take?

Everyone has a different investment strategy, so I have to ask are there better places to put my money now rather than waiting for a $500 Town Hall to make it to $1000?
