Many didn't think it had potential as an investment, including me. I think this one could be a long term winner. It won't be remade, has a reasonably big fan base and wasn't in production for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in the long run, even better than the Maze. I'm sure I'm alone in thinking like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Europe, Wall-E is a better bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minicoopers11 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm routinely surprised by how many of my friends are fans of Big Bang Theory. I went pretty deep on it, since it was "iconic minifigure" heavy and avail at decent discount. But if I had that choice now? I probably would have passed, for better or worse. I wasn't prepared for the massive 50-60% off clearances around Dec 16/Jan 17. Nice to see it's moving up, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sozial Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Well could be bought for around 35 Euros and is 120 Euro on Amazon, so its a winner for me, but I didnt buy much, because I did not have the feeling it would be at this price so fast. Wrong feeling - lesson learned: Series over serveral years with many watchers/fans are good investments if bought at decent discount and do not have a life span like Ecto 1 (which of course i bought a shitload of?)

marcandre Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I saw one episode and thought it was terrible. While I don't like it I do feel bad for folks who enjoy watching & will miss it. Never fun to lose a show your deeply invested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenb99 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 You'd think a show with so many LEGO references and pop culture themes similar to ones discussed here would be more popular on this site. Oh well I'm no scientist but Penny can sing soft kitty to me anytime.... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 One thing about this show is that it normalized “geeks”. Comics and collectibles were frequently featured, there was almost a full episode about building a Lego Death Star. Whether the show was funny or not is simply a matter of personal taste, and frankly not all that important. The free advertising for all the overpriced stuff I sling on Amazon was priceless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluewizard Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I can't help but wonder how collectible this set will be say 10 years from now. Could be that this show will be forgotten. Could also be that this show will be in syndication forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordoflego Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I dont get out of bed in the morning without watching at least one episode. I’m always thankful for the suggestions from those actors on how to live my life, would be hard otherwise. next year hoping to move to San Francisco 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
