How about you tell us what you think first and then we'll reply.

 

On topic - I bought a Livi's pop star house using the Cyber Monday BP gift card, thanks @Bold-Arrow!

I think it is ok as it is retired but don't know if it will be a good investment long term so i need advice from all you pros ;)

Most current resale prices for the Imperial Hotel are below RRP for a set that retired well before the White House and Trevi Fountain did (which are both doing well already). I would personally avoid it but, it's a nice set to build and display. I thought it would sell out fast but, obviously it's not as well liked as I thought. However, things can change but, my instinct says it's a turkey. I have one built and won't be buying more.

Was in my local Lego store and they had two Trevis left on the shelf, so I bought them both. Sold two last week for £65 each so didn't mind paying RRP. Plus double points and the lovely girl behind the till gave me two snowglobes and a calender, how festive of her!!

No one ever replied to me but I pulled the trigger. He was able to find the instructions so it was 100% complete with box for 165 via offer up.

Couldn't find it cheaper than 200 used so I guess I did ok. Wasn't actively looking for it but it's a nice set .

I found a a 21022 Lincoln Memorial in the wild at a B&N. Paid about 29 for it after taxes and discounts.  Need to find one more for the vault...


I found five of them last week and bought them all. My 10% member discount and discounted gift cards helped to keep the buy-in around $27 each. I have been buying all of the LM, White House, and Trevi Fountains that I can when I see them.

Lol you guys talking about it, makes me want to stop buying them.

Edit:: I don't mean you personally. I don't know you, but now that it's talked about so much I fear they might be the next birds or something.

I guess it's back to stockpiling iron golems. Nobody's talking that one. =)

No offense taken at all. We all identify our priorities here. I'm going "big" for me on these newly retired architecture sets, but big for me is still less than 10 of each. I've already sold a few WH at $79 plus shipping, and I'm happy about that. If I can get $99 each after a year or so, that will hit my objective. The LM has even less risk since the buy-in is much less than WH or TF.

Obi Interceptor 75138 (x6) at $12.81 each. Sam's Club. Haven't seen them at 50% off before in my neck of the woods.

Nice!  I picked up 10 from Sam's club this past Sunday for 16.81.  Contemplated waiting for a further markdown, but figured most would be gone. 75135

Yeah, they had the better part of a pallet somehow.

Sadly, my wife was the one there and texted me about them, so I had to moderate things. I may go back tomorrow by myself and pick up whatever's left.
