Retiring Soon - open speculation

The new LEGO Batman movie could be a factor in this set, even though it's not from the movie. 

The movie would make me nervous about owning any Batman sets.  The new Arkham Asylum has already killed 10937.  It makes me glad for the $250 each I got selling mine last year.  Remakes are brutal.

And what about 6860 Batcave and 76000 Mr. Freeze? 

I guess 'everything is awesome' died when the Lego Movie left the theatre.

"Everything is Awesome" was never meant to apply to the Super Heroes line.  I think Emmet mentioned that at one point in the movie.

Did you watch a different movie than I did?

Have to give credit to Ed Mack. He warned us a while ago for the chaos to come.

Everything is awesome applied to the Seacow for 3 weeks in North America. Everything else from that movie has been turdy unless you got it for free.

Whaaat! I did not see a new AA coming. Did not know if you were joking or for real but quick online search :

"Next, we’ve got the new LEGO Arkham Asylum set, which contains 1,628 pieces for $149.99. This set is expected to be a Toys R Us exclusive on-shelf January 1st, 2016."

Where is that panic button!

I find Alt+F4 works very well.

If you are happy with 50% above RRP on a sub 20 euro set then yeah, bring on the awesomeness.

Well I’m happy with double RRP+ on a set that was available with 40% discounts that moves in decent volumes, if that’s what you mean.

Santa is now Sold Out at EU SAH. Unfortunately, neither SC nor EV nor any of the IDEAS sets look like doing the same.

You rest my case.

The 21022 Lincoln Memorial is still hanging on in the UK. I bought enough the other week to pair with every 21006 White House I have. A WH sold for £81.46 posted in the UK today which would've been an easy £40 profit after fees and P&P. Did you all notice how quiet I was about the WH until I filled my boots before before Retirement was due?

 


I don't believe you had any inclination of wanting these until others smelled retirement here. Give credit where credit is due. ;)

10937 still climbing on FBA (currently $300). The new AA is the cartoon version. Most DC fans will want 10937. It will also help that Amazon won't be selling the new AA ;)

If you can get $300 for 10937, now's the time.  Plenty of exclusives have fallen lately even without seeing a remake.

The current lowest price on eBay for a MISB 10937 is $228 shipped.  Amazon buyers must be, how to put this politely, "different".

It was probably the political difference between a former first lady and a rich bloke with a ginger toupee that made me think that the WH would be a no brainer. A big pat on the back for me! ;-) I bought my first big stash before it was tagged.

Climbing towards 70 in the UK.

Don't miss the window as they can drop just as quick. I also think the WH will peak as soon as Trump takes his first dump in there. I reckon these could reach £100 within weeks.

For people that have been following Architecture, 21006 WH being a winner is no surprise. At least here in the US, it has consistently sold out at Christmastime at Amazon for at least the past couple of years and I distinctly remember a couple of BPers saying at least a year ago that they would load up if they suspected it was being retired. You can look at the past sales ranks on Amazon to see that it's high for an Architecture set.

I'm hoping people have spent all their money on the recent TRU, Amazon and Target sales buying all the same Star Wars sets and leave the WH alone 8-)
