We might disagree with his conclusions, but we can't discount all of the underlying variables he brings to the table to make his decision. This dude does his research and we can leverage that research to make our own decisions. And, he's humble, consistently saying "This is my take, yours may be different based on the provided information". I'm happy his channel was shared on BP. I subscribed, but would never do his Patreon lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonka858 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Best guess on quantities produced based on current availability/observation across channels Lego will produce any active set you want, You could ask for 100,000 and they will make it. I think it would be impossible to ever figure out true numbers, As you don't know who is buying stuff. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only think I don't get when initially sharing his video is how you can consistently getting at least 40% discount of the same Exclusive LEGOs (the video I shared talks about BHZ) by leveraging GWP, CB, Insider points, etc) after you hit the limits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess some lessons are harder learned than others. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickU Posted Wednesday at 11:53 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:53 PM (edited) Can anyone verify the Bric Economy is accurate when it comes to rankings for inventory in themes? Thanks Edited Wednesday at 11:54 PM by BrickU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Based on how flawed the rest of their external data pulls are.... I would gamble it's not accurate. About the only thing I trust there is their internal data that users enter themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
