71006 - The Simpsons House

[njseale]

I would assume people who said lego would have plenty of sets and not run out of them.

For those interested, there is an interview with VP of Design Matthew James Ashton and pretty much confirms we won't see a Moe's Tavern or a Nuclear Power Plant. Also mentions how they intend to keep the Simpsons theme "small and targeted" amongst The Lego Movie discussion as well the success of the DeLorean helped with their Ghostbusters consideration.

Bummer. A nuke plant would have been awesome. 

 

The simpsons set is hot right now. I have flipped three, I want more but afraid of getting banned. Now oos online but my lego store has plenty.

Pretty much goes back to what I said in the other Simpsons threads, the house really is the 'safest' and most iconic part of the TV series with a scale that would be difficult to match correctly for anything else if it happened. Unfortunately, this also means we won't be seeing an irish pub modular house in the future. Haha.

[Spartikis]

This sounds like a great idea until you realize that making that many modular sizes sets would either financial ruin me or mentally drive me insane because i couldnt buy them all. Plus where would you put them all? i already consume half of my basement, i would need to buy a second home to display them.

Simpsons house completed listing and BIN prices rising now with the OOS occurring. 

Anyone have any opinions on how high it will get?

Sold two Simpson Houses on Amazon Marketplace for ~ 295

[El Guapo]

$18 seems like a reasonable shipping charge to me. I live in SoCal and feel like everything I sell goes to Bangor, Maine. (DNIIM we should team up and set up distribution centers

[graffiti600rr]

Let's not forget that there might be sticky fingers at the Lego B&M stores. I am sure that it happens here and there. I bought one with a little discount and sold it on Amazon for 260 USD. I am new to selling on Amazon and the fees take a little to get used to with the shipping discounts. 

[the Dark Knight]

Looks cool....a must for any Simpsons fan. In 20 years it would be the one I wish I bought I bet lol

Sent from my SGH-I337M using Brickpicker mobile app

love it. can't wait to see what other Simpsons items will be coming. I've heard of a CMF series, but wondering if they'll do others like Kwikee Mart, etc.

Also do you think the Simpsons LEGO Episode in May will have any effect?

No need to buy any for investment for at least a year.

Will it still be available to purchase in a year though?

stock up now so you can sell to people who missed the boat because they think they know EOL patterns ;)

Was thinking the same to just make the purchases now. With it being an exclusive I highly doubt it's going to be discounted EOL or at any other time really?

[ninjasnake1337]

I don't see this ever being discounted, IMHO.  Demand seems pretty high too.  It's consistently out of stock on LEGO Shop at Home UK.

[Rizolicious]

I suppose

[ninjasnake1337]

2x VIP should be coming up soon, so that's probably the best discount you'll get.

Any idea when this will come about?

Rumours are April: but they are just that.  Of course this purchase would also qualify for a free Martian Manhunter minifig if you order next month in March - so you have options

Or actually, has someone seen it on the calendar?  Just remembered I may have seen it somewhere.

[Guest TabbyBoy]

2x VIP (or good polybag) is the best time to order these.  I reckon LEGO will run out near Xmas as they'll already run out during VIP and general launch dates.  Expect a
