Stevenplays Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I think originally LEGO planned to make it more of a normal line, but was changed for whatever the reason very late. It was cool while it lasted, but all themes come to an end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 May need to consider buying some of these cases. If this is it for The Simpsons, these are going to be worth much more than I originally anticipated. They`ve prooved far more popular as well, already OOS on LEGO Shop at Home.

lancesir Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Well it's only been a few weeks and stock isn't hard to find, though they are selling (by the boxes too). It's a great collector item, especially if you picked up the simpsons house as well. How much will they be worth? Only time will tell...

djim Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 i have 2 complete sets as well (still in packs) and about a dozen extra. i was planning to hold onto them for awhile while continuing to look for stores with full displays so i can "feel out" more complete sets. edit: they've been selling out all over san francisco. i've managed to stay ahead of the pack in most of the stores. however, when revisiting them, they've been sold out.

Grolim Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 My box arrived last night. Had fun going through and sorting them all. Opened a set for myself and kids (they love the Simpsons) so we can display with the Simpsons house. They aren't out here until the 31st so thought I might get a jump on the local market and be able to flip them for a quick profit. Turns out a few other people have the same idea, so prices are already as low as my cost price. But then I went direct direct to a guy who bought a house off me and he wanted 2 sets straight awy, for a decent margin above my cost, so that was good. Now just have to sell off the extras. Should essentially make my 16 free and a touch left over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewLego Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 How many cases did you guys end up getting? I got 5 cases. Dont know if i should get more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Mack Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I didn't realize that the price dropped to $275. A few more people seem to be buying them again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legopocalypse Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 What's everyone's best guess as to the max a sealed case would sell for once EOL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchmaster305 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm selling my case if someone wants it PM me. It's unpunched but i did open the sealing tabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 For you guys who got the S10 cases and re-sold them. Was it more valuable when being sold in LEGO shipping box ? As you know, the seals on the actual display boxes are not really assuring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No More Monkeys Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 What do you think, would TLC freak out and waive the ban hammer, if I to order 32 (that's the current limit) Simpsons minifigs at Lego SAH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbacunn Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 What do you think, would TLC freak out and waive the ban hammer, if I to order 32 (that's the current limit) Simpsons minifigs at Lego SAH? I doubt it. Minifigs are different. They know people buy a lot in order to get complete sets. Multiple orders of the max might lead you to bansville though.

TheOrcKing Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 What do you think, would TLC freak out and waive the ban hammer, if I to order 32 (that's the current limit) Simpsons minifigs at Lego SAH?I figure it would be similar to buying a bunch of baseplates. A person needs to buy a bunch for a complete set regardless of getting repeats or not. I just hope you don't end up with thirty two Bart Simpsons. :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I bought 97 loose packs from target and not a single milhouse so I didn't even complete a set. What luck! You should have asked a store member for a fresh box, that way you could have bought all 60 and been guaranteed of three sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 64 packs are arrive today, I'm sure to get one Apu to complete my son's set. Then hopefully, I can put together 2 more sets with my existing duplicates. Would like to sell 2 sealed sets for a little profit. Anyone know if sealed sets are fetching an extra premium over open sets? I suppose some people are willing to pay something extra to open it themselves or leave closed.

cladner Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Anyone know if sealed sets are fetching an extra premium over open sets? I suppose some people are willing to pay something extra to open it themselves or leave closed. right now, sealed sets on ebay are not consistently getting more than opened sets. price ranges from 78.99 - 95. some guy has been selling opened figures in a plastic case that looks like its for spools of thread for $95 and selling a lot. i have sold 3 sets where the upper corners were cut to confirm ID for 89. i'm holding on to my remaining complete sets which are sealed for long term.

Wazzapova Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 You know you are Lego-obsessed when: I had a dream last night and I was at a store feeling a Simpsons bag in my hands and I felt a cylinder piece. Thought it was Apu, but then felt the handle! I got Ned Flanders! Lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
