trekgate502 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Irregardless of everyone posting pointed comments I think it is obvious that if Fallingwater is retiring and you decide to buy and store some of these away in time it will appreciate nicely. Some may disagree but I think many would agree with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_bricks Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Most of you guys are not making money. You're just in it for the hunt. It's fun, I'll admit. But don't fool yourselves. With coupon stacking, I believe some people were reporting getting these for $57 at B&******. Changes the calculations a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't fool yourselves.OK since you have it all figured out then I suggest you go and start your own lego how to do it website. You have been skating on thin ice here the past few days and we have been pretty lenient with you but it stops now or you will no longer be a member here. If you want to be a part of this community knock off the trolling. If you don't want to be a part of it I can help you leave. The decision is yours. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Mack Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I think we need to summarize the last 5 or 6 pages. Fallingwater is a great set. So are most Architecture sets. They have no minifigures. Patience is needed. People are not making money flipping the a $100 set for $130. Real resellers flip Elsa's Shiny Shack or whatever it's called. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickleboy Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Any speculation on which Hobbit sets are retiring? Lake Town Chase, Mirkwood Elf Army, Dol Guldur Battle in particular... I've barely had a chance to think about these.... Edited December 17, 2014 by pickleboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holleman67 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I don't notice anything new retiring. Hmmm. I think they retired red bull silver edition which I'm very disappointed with. This has been holleman67 reporting with ACTUAL retiring information. Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen9917 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 FW is behaving just like what I felt and stated in the Arch thread: when the time comes it will vanish in a short period of time. It has very limited availability, and for the past 6 moths, the only place to get it with discount was BN. Other than that the only time I saw it on sale was TRU BOGO early this year.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app I think you are correct. I saw it at TRU store but I believe that was a return of online order. TRU.com and their ebay store had FW on sale and that is where I got a big portion of my stock. Others were all from BN. Never bought a single one from Amazon and LEGO Shop at Home because they never had it below $99.

10230 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Oh, well can't wait till 2016 then. I'm so not into government buildings and I'm guessing Flatiron will not have much detail. Thanks for the heads up though. There might be at least one other architecture set in the second half of 2015, in about the $50-$60 range. I don't know what though.

Mathew: If there wasn't money in the Lego game, this forum, and the enormous volume and contributions of its founders and members, would not exist. It is very likely this isn't a forum you will gain anything out of based on your views and perspective, which you are entirely entitled to. A responsible decision may be to spend your time elsewhere.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 The latest annoying cretin on here will soon be retiring.... from BP that is. The sooner we have a paid premium membership the better. Assuming this is only about plastic rather than people retiring, I think the Coast Guard theme is on the way out (helicopter already EOL). I have a few job lots of the entire theme ready to roll that cost me -50% or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
