waddamon Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 WOW! Good job on the sale. Collectors never fail. I may go ahead and list mineup high and see what happens. I don't care to hold long term. Once the next portfolio update ((through december) shows up I will make my decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binici Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Keep holding on to this set, it will be a nice investment in another year or two! I wish I would have picked up at least one or two more with potential savings from B&******, but such is life... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatpoppa Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Help please: I need a bag count for Robie House 21010. Checked brickset et al but only find piece counts in descriptions, reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) They are not numbered bags and there are smaller bags inside of the larger as usual. Try looking at eBay completed listings to see if you can find one that was new but opened with a pic of all the bags. I know this won't help unless you see a specific bag you think is missing: Edited January 16, 2015 by Pseudoty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatpoppa Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Right. I'm verifying an eBay listing. Says the "new" set I bought is actually open box and has "all 18 bags." Decent feedback but this is my source for Lego truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent feedback but this is my source for Lego truth. Perhaps you can check it by weight. Ask them how much it weighs. It should weigh about 81.8 ounces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatpoppa Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Lol. Good idea... Said they don't have a scale. Clearly they are fit, skinny Internet store owners. Edited January 16, 2015 by beatpoppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbacunn Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Lol. Good idea... Said they don't have a scale. Clearly they are fit, skinny Internet store owners. Sounds a little weird to me. Unless they are just occasional ebay sellers they should have a digital scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatpoppa Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Ebay interactions are always an adventure. Advertise the item new, but mean its open box. Box is larger component of value with Architecture sets. I am surprised there is not an online source of the accurate bag count in the Robie House set. It is the first time the internet has failed me when seeking Lego data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parisbrix Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 What do you think could be the price of Robie House by the end of 2015? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belljohn Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 What do you think could be the price of Robie House by the end of 2015? You can look in the Brick database and extrapolate the line to get some idea of value at the end of this year. It is a great resource to research the performance of sets. In the US I optimistically hope it will get to $400 this year. It's hard to say since there is no comparable set to judge by. It is the largest of the line, yet the real house is relatively unknown compared to some of the other sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarleyMoose Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I wish I had more than 7. My average buy in is about $143. Some of the boxes are beat up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donliu Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Most of my boxes are beat up to. I still got plenty left. Im holding until this goes pass the $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Barnes and Noble needs to stop demolishing these things. All 3 of mine are very beat up. Those security devices can wreck a box in one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binici Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm so sad I am out of stock on these! My best sellers, since entering the business...Wonder if we'll ever see another Arch type set that performed so well as this one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbacunn Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I have one left except for mine in my personal collection. I agree that it's been a superstar investment. I think Fallingwater will do well eventually and Imperial Hotel is also a Frank Lloyd Wright design and is also the biggest Architecture set currently available. I think it will be a winner as well but who knows how much longer it will be available. Potentially years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold ones in eBay seem to be lower.I have sold three, for the exception of one for $379. I sold my first for $350 just to get my feet wet. The trending price on eBay (according to their analytics) is about $350, so I'm very happy with what I made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Brickowski Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 What are possible explanations for Robie House's performance? As long as it was available no one seemed to care about it, so it was on sale an some Amazons like forever. Then is suddenly went through the roof, while other Architecture sets you would have imagined to do better than RH are just a disappointment. I've run out of ideas for reasons for what RH did after EOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then is suddenly went through the roof, while other Architecture sets you would have imagined to do better than RH are just a disappointment. I've run out of ideas for reasons for what RH did after EOL.The following are all retired sets from at least 2014 (or earlier) and I would like to know which of these are disappointments?21000 - Sears Tower - 27%21001 - John Hancock - 28%21004 - Guggenheim - 17%21007 - Rockefeller - 15%21008 - Burj Khalifa - 26%21010 - Robie House - 15%21016 - Sungnyemun - 60% (I don't believe the spike)For more recently retired sets, I think that Farnsworth and Villa Savoie will struggle, Sydney Opera House and Brandenburg Gate will perform ok, and Empire State building and Fallingwater will perform well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
