spener90 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 $75 gets you the Hot Dog stand and free shipping. I am debating between going with a Hayabusa and Minecraft combo and the Hayabusa and Orc Forge combo. What is everyone else going with? Quote
exciter1 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 I would to with the Orc Forge*2 Yep, that or pair an Orc Forge with a Dynamic Duo Fun House. Quote
Coneil21 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 3 separate orders: 2 Orc Forges 2 Fun House Duos 1 Orc Forge + 1 Train Station Question: does anyone know the statute of limitations on S&**** max order limits? For ex if I already placed an order for the max # of minecrafts, if and when can I order that set again? Quote

For ex if I already placed an order for the max # of minecrafts, if and when can I order that set again? I'm not entirely sure on the exact amount. I remember I placed an order for 5 Market Bakery's last November, and 2 weeks later placed the same order again and had no issues with it. Quote
Msudawgs56 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 1 orc forge 1 Minecraft 1 9488 Elite Clone Trooper Got me the Hot Dog Stand a coming.. Quote
Diabolos80 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 I'm heading to the Lego store today, and I'm thinking I'll get an orc forge and a funhouse. But, I've got a 10% off coupon burning a hole in my pocket, and I'd like to save more than 4 bucks. So I might have to get a tower bridge or another Haunted House or R2-D2 instead. Decisions, decisions... Quote

Decisions, decisions... I was in the same position Sat. Couldn't decide what to use the 10% coupon for. I finally went with TB. I love R2-D2 but hes relatively new. And between HH and TB, I figured I would get more bang for my buck (coupon) with TB. Quote
kerrmando Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Hayabusha and Orc Forge I think are in order.. Quote
Spartikis Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 orce forge imo i wouldnt mess with the minecraft set, i think its going to be a flop imo. Its popularity is based on the popularity of the video game, which aside from a core die hard group of fans really was just a fad, people were playing it just because other people were playing it, most people didnt actually like the game.

Jackson Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 most people didnt actually like the game. Thanks for that little "fact." Quote

Its popularity is based on the popularity of the video game, which aside from a core die hard group of fans really was just a fad, people were playing it just because other people were playing it, most people didnt actually like the game. Spartikis, I respectfully disagree with your reasoning. Minecraft is the #2 selling set on eBay in May (the last month of sales figures BP has) with 241 sold. That follows these sales ranks for the last five months: April - #5 - 308 March - #1 - 507 February - #2 - 529 January - #1 - 760 December - #2 - 807 That doesn't look like a fad to me, more like a 6 month sales juggernaut. Only B-Wing edged it out last month after TLG reduced the price by 50% (299 units sold). Minecraft still has continued to sell better than almost any set on eBay even after TLG replenished their stock in March. Now, if you were to tell me you're not investing because you think Minecraft 21002 will still be available at retail in 4 years given the great sales of the set, I could understand that. There's just no proof of an extended life for this set. In fact, with new sets coming, this could make 21002 even more popular since it's the first of the theme. Quote

Its popularity is based on the popularity of the video game, which aside from a core die hard group of fans really was just a fad, people were playing it just because other people were playing it, most people didnt actually like the game. You're right. 7 million people bought the game for Xbox 360 because others were playing it. Another 11 million did so on PC, and 10 million did it on mobile devices. http://www.vgchartz.com/article/251096/minecraft-xbox-360-edition-tops-7m-units-sold/ The game is awesome and allows one to be creative. One would be amazed at what is possible in the game, some of my friends who are engineers have developed some ridiculous things. Sorry, but the games a winner. Quote
Diabolos80 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Well I ended up buying the master builder academy inventor's set. The steampunk aesthetic was just too cool to pass up :) Quote
agp548 Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Well I ended up buying the master builder academy inventor's set. The steampunk aesthetic was just too cool to pass up I think all four of those new MBA sets are very cool 1 Quote
JoshTX Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 I'm in the same predicament with the 10% off coupon. I'll probably place two orders, one online for two Orc Forges, and then go into the store with the coupon and pickup a Fire Brigade and another hot dog stand. Quote
willy431 Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 These are exclusive to lego vip members-- who spend 75. I won't be surprised if they are sold to regular customers-- if there are any left--- after August 1Got 2 orders of 2 orc forge, an order of 2 barrel escapes--and an order of funhouse batman and some retiring friends sets to make it to 75.

Black_towr Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 I bought Orc Forge and Dynamic Duo Funhouse. Quote

Except it's limited to two per household at my local Lego store and still flying off the shelves. I've seen them at B&****** stores a couple of times and were gone when I checked again. With two new rumored sets coming out, the first one is pretty much guaranteed a win. Quote
