He posted an image of a minifigure. That doesn’t mean TLG actually started printing new boxes and inserting that minifigure into production runs of 75188. I want to know if anybody has actually purchased those boxes. Quote

$20 on joe vs dan Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Rare "errors' are a hot potato game with the guy at the end holding it losing no one really wants it..just perceived value based on scarcity...seen it during the baseball card phase...seen rare error cards at shows going for ridiculous prices...never seen any actually purchased or in a private collection (ie actually purchased by a collector...end consumer)...usually just a conversation piece Just comes down to how much the next reseller thinks its worth Quote

Probably the best known example...Billy Ripken 89 Fleer cards sold like crazy at card shows for decently high amounts (given it was 30 years ago). 1987 Donruss opening day Barry Bonds (showing Johnny Ray) was another highly sought after card and still sells for high dollar amounts. I will agree that error cards not corrected were just eye candy at the time. Of course, there Quote

Billy Brick Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Not an official tag yet but when I search "Retiring Soon" on Shop at Home I get the Tower Bridge (here's to hoping) and the FireHouse which would be a surprise.

Val-E Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Why would they be surprises? They are all retired in Europe. 1 Quote
Yellow Castle Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 This message seems 4 months out of date? Most 2018 retiring soon sets are long gone (except ideas 21308 which they may have to give away?). S&H Have left retiring tags on retired sets which needs housekeeping. Now waiting to see which sets slip into retirement this summer. Quote
