Brick bank, definitely will be around another year or two at least.

s1 I'm not so sure about i think that one is going to come down to the colours and unique parts of which there is a few. It came out January 1st 2015.

check out the brickset review which covers the unique parts

Eek! Ok , my theory is shot.

Im gettin 2 haha.

[Out of the Dark Years]

It's not certain with the S1, it still could go another year or so but who knows with Lego these days.

better to be safe than sorry I guess.

Indominus is on backorder for a month and eBay prices are already $70 higher than retail. This bodes well for a set that is not even retired.

+1

I don't think the JW line will last much longer. Same goes for Scooby Doo I don't see either at retail anywhere.

i didn't buy any of these sets for myself but I did like the clear gyro bubble thing included in some of the sets. 

i might grab some of the bubbles off bricklink if the price hasn't gone skyrocketing on them.

I bought 2 Scooby mansions awhile ago but think I might move them on. Haven't seen any real sales on eBay of these. Only one I seen sell, went under rrp. Lesson learned on this one I think.

It's too early I think, if they make a movie or tv series it'll drive interest again.

Looks an awesome set too. Can't see why it's not more popular?

18 have sold well above RRP on Ebay in the last 90 days, that's very positive. Do you know how to view sold listings on Ebay?

You'll need to wait till Halloween or towards Christmas to see any further gains on this set.

Also a firm believer that JW is done, If I was a betting man I dare say that the next run will be the last. Final call on this theme.

Well that's brighter news. No I don't know how to view sold listings. Seems that would be a handy trick though haha.

Agreed. Reckon this will jump to $300 pretty much instantly then who knows where? A new movie will raise interest and chances of an Indominus return would be small, so I think that will keep it unique.  And lucrative.

Not any time soon but it has already been out for 19 months now. The clock is now ticking on it

Next to the search bar is an "advanced" label. Click on this. From the options, pick "Sold listings" (and potentially set the country your looking for, plus other criteria). Then click Search and lo-and-behold .... Oh,, sorting by "Listing End Date: newest first" gives you the best view.

Thanks Phil. . Good man.

May not be news to some but thought i post it anyway. Been to target and saw that they put 75112 General Grievous and Reys speeder on the clearance shelf. $39 and $29 respectively. To top it off, Target offer another 20% on top of that so i grab one GG for my personal build. Always not so sure about the builderable figures but i don't think i can go any much wrong with the robotics GG.

I have a (very) small stockpile of the initial series, I'm thinking that this venture into construcables has been a failure for LEGO. I'm surprised that they didn't flood the market with remakes of the DC lines and even bring a Marvel version inline with CA:CW.

Maybe most will fizz out but GG looks awesome. It's way better than the look at me wrong and I'll swan dive to the floor UCS Grievous.

Myer has extended their 20% off toys to cover all remaining exclusives online. Slave available online @ $239 on eBay and retail sites, BB also still showing in stock for $199 (not on eBay though).

There are rumours floating around of a sale at Myer this weekend with 30% off all Lego.

Yeh but there may be nothing left to buy. I'm in for a slave now.

[Out of the Dark Years]

Not from what I've heard, Myer apparently has a glut of Lego at the moment and needs to clear space for August stock.

Anybody know whether is this 30% off restricted to this Saturday and Sunday or does it goes for a while more?
