Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Quote I'll read the Nightmare Before Christmas story this year, kids. Twas the night before Clearance And all through the aisle Steamrollers were packed Into my cart like a pile Exo Suits were hung In the storage with care Knowing that in a decade They still will be there Sergeant Jyn Erso was nestled Deep under my bed With terrible proportions And a face that looks dead Wonder woman in her armor And cheetah in her cap The lasso of truth will tell you That this set is pure crap When out on my doorstep A noise shook me awake ShopJustice still delivering Olaf Flat as a pancake Faster shipping than FedEx The turds as they came I cried and I pouted As I called them by name "Now, Dots! now, Mario! Now Lego Movie 1 and 2! On, Raiders! on, Mighty Dinos! On, Takodana and constractables too! To the depths of the dumpster! Stacked 50 feet tall Now throw away! throw away! throw away all!" Each year I make efforts To donate a bit more But Toys for tots sends a bill For returning them to my door Since I can't give them away I'll dig a big pit It's the final solution To get rid of this sh!t I shook as I laughed At the thought of relieving this pain It was nearly 3am So I looked quite insane As I poured the kerosene I cheered with delight "I'll light you on fire, So you're out of my sight" Edited December 7, 2022 by brickvoyeur 15 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not great, but a decent bump for a set that was $29.00 at many Wal-Marts for a good amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 LOTR and Hobbit sets starting to show some promise. The fact many of those were had at steep discounts makes it even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) Yep, still holding out hope for LOTR and Hobbit once they're completely gone. I just wish they would retire the Desolation of Smaug sets already. The Mirkwood Elf Army and Dol Guldur Battle should have retired with Lake-town Chase. They're hanging around too long.

I like the Hearse buy-in at $9 better, tho lol.I have one Gunship left so I'm bumping the price. They sold quickly for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was unlucky on the S@H Vampyre Hearse blowout. I made the mistake and was one of the FIRST to place orders, so therefore, I was one of the FIRST to get my orders canceled. I did get several at KMart for $13 each, but that's the best I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilrock Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Maybe just maybe, I should have hold back instead of QF those Gunships I got for 50% off at Target way back when Honestly, I see those gunships approaching the 300.00 mark by next xmas if things hold steady. It's got a few things going for it. It's the most "iconic" ship of the prequels. It has the main characters (anakin, padmi, obi-wan, and some unique clones), and it's really a great build. This and the MTT are the two prequel sets I have bought a few multiples of to hold. The rest of the prequel vehicles, i've passed on as an investment. Although the AT-TE has shown some slight promise, but I decided to pass on that one too. The other slight potential is General Greivous Wheel bike, but we shall see. It seems to be hovering for a long time..With how long the Droid Gunship, and AT-TP are hovering without selling out anywhere, I think those sets are complete wastes to invest in and duds. The vulture droid looks like it was also a dud, although I bought a few at 14.00 during a TRU blow out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Gungan Sub for example, exclusive figs and truly unique design (nothing in OT looked like it). However, it is still stuck at MSRP after what, 2 years?

I personally thought the sub was pretty cool, but that made absolutely no sense in the movie, and was sort of a pointless scene. Blah... Until the movie plays and people react to it in a mostly positive manner, the same thing could occur with Episode 7 sets. We shall see. I hope not. It would be nice to see Star Wars turn around and have another great run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO8T0 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The question is how many waves of new SW sets will we see over the next 15 months. Obviously we will see the first wave this fall then another in the spring (jan-april) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we will see the first wave this fall then another in the spring (jan-april)I believe Rogue 1 is December 16th 2016, and then Episode 8 is in May 2017.... So there could be 3 waves per year (kind of like this year). It sounds like the winter wave coming up has 2 new full sets and 2 battle packs for Episode 7. So, that's 11 sets to start. Then i'm guessing the summer wave will have some more, then another wave will occur in September for Rogue 1, while the winter wave could be for Episode 8. Episode 7's sets possible could only be a year and a half window, before they tail off, since there are so many movies out. There is only so many they can produce in a wave, so that could bode well in that there may only be 15 to 20 sets dedicated to episode 7 in the next 5 to 7 years and not many repeats. We can only hope.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to see Star Wars turn around and have another great run. It made no sense because the whole movie did not make sense and would crumble as soon as anyone took a closer look at the plot points Take that whole "journey through planet core" for example. For it to make sense, one would have to ask why the bad guy had to land their droid troops so far away from the palace / capital city to begin with.
