  1. Did you try selling them some of the sets out of the trunk of your car? I hear they sell like hot cakes that way.

  2. ChrisJB, maybe folks in VAN (CAN) are enjoying their summer like a member once said there's more to life than any Lego set $100 pays for an item/set they lost out on while doing something else or can't wait for the next production run I guess. Good that you made some decent cash flipping...just lay off the terms 'joke...messed up' when describing Canada please I'm just chiming in for my neighbours out West

  3. I like seeing people post they got a large amount of sets. This site is about investing and selling first and foremost. Congrats to anyone who has been able to cash in on these sets. Anyone posting hate because they missed out is on the wrong site.

  5. This post might offend some. It's not my intent. Like Ed stated, "Is that our fault? No... If you want something in life, make a plan and get it. The people who complained and didn't get a set were not prepared." These soreheads seem similar (and worse in some aspects) than the $99 10227 B-Wing ones. As much as people can cry and stomp, 21109s were available at different times through multiple retailers (like $99 10227 at TRU) for over a week. It appears people tried shop@home only a handful of times before either giving up or being satisfied with 2 sets. Then there are others who proactively checked other retailers. 1.) found target didn't have limits and 2) TRU had it for $25 so people bought more or their initial 21109(s). Additionally, other retailers (Amazon) also had 21109s in-stock on and off. People just needed to check a couple of times per day. So don't go blaming other folks because Little Johnny didn't get his Exo Suit set that daddy prob really wanted. I spoke my peace. I'm done.

  6. Honestly, if people are pissed off about not being able to get an exo suit, they should blame Lego more than anything else. Whenever a company make something a limited release, it's going to create a situation where you have to be at the store on day 1 to get a copy, and people are going to hoard them for resale. Even without the existance of this site, there would be people buying up exo suits for resale due to it's supposedly limited nature. If Lego cared about the average kid being able to get one of these, they'd produce them in greater quanitity. With limited releases, they're just throwing a big bone to collectors while pissing off their normal fans who couldn't get one.

  7. Lol ppl need to get angry at LEGO for not putting up a better order fulfillment system on S @ H. The thing crashed about the same time Exo Suit became available on 8/1

  8. If you need something last minute or for personal collection/gift that is not on sale anywhere else...use promo code TWENTY for 20% off one regular priced item. Too bad it's not 25% promo...I would buy more stuff Remember to sign up/use Plum Pts...adds up. I always like the condition of sets and reuse the Indigo shipping boxes. I looked at the Lego section and nothing really jumped out at me. Would love to buy some SuperHeroes sets but already have enough to build at home and will wait longer for investing purposes/better deals.

  9. I'm sure you have a good idea what actual mini figs feel like, most of the fakes I've seen just feel...cheap. Also look for the "Lego" trade mark stamps on the feet or head post. Pay special attention to Hulk, if he's real I would imagine the rest are as well.

  10. If people want to help reduce the amount of hate, they should stop posting about how many sets they were able to get. I can see people getting upset when you read about multiple resellers who are posting/boasting/showing off about buying 50 of these and/or posting pictures of their stacks of these. Does it really matter to anyone but yourself how many you were able to get? Of course, LEGO could help with this by just allowing pre-orders of sets. It would give "regular" people a chance to get one at release date and give LEGO an idea of demand.

  11. This is why i am in favor for a paid subscription to the site. Much of the talk on here is not investment oriented. Let that be free and the real investment focused content onlt accessible for the annual fee. It will manage that potential negative reputation and still attract new.members for growth. Oh amd the exo suit is awesome. Should do quite well, who cares if they produce one more run.

  12. Jeff and I have been reading a lot of hate towards members here on other sites the last few days, a lot of it based on the lack of availability of the Exo Suit. Is that our fault? No. LEGO was unprepared for the interest in the set. If you want something in life, make a plan and get it. The people who complained and didn't get a set were not prepared. For months, this was the set that people discussed...on all sites, so there is no excuse. I do feel sorry for the kids who didn't get a chance to buy one, but they will after LEGO releases more. There is an elitist anti-BrickPicker attitude with some old school AFOLs. Most are hypocrites. They visit this site and care about how much money their sets are worth, yet bad mouth us when we are not there to defend ourselves. I say complain away. The more you complain about our site and members, the more people will find us. As for this set, the intense interest by all...resellers, collectors, kids, whatever...has created a situation where LEGO has to produce more. I am not telling people to not buy them or to buy them, but just be aware that the rabid buying might make LEGO overestimate interest, thus overproduce the set. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker

  21. Dude's just trolling again. We got home from the late yesterday afternoon and it took my oldest all of 30 minutes to discover the Exo Suit sets which had been placed in our "to sell" storage closet (they were out all last week .. got my two on Friday). He told me the door was already open and he was just looking. Ha, as if!

  23. In the grand scheme of things the exo for the most part at the moment can be sold for $60 plus shipping on the river. That nets the seller after shipping about $11 profit a set. Even the ones that scored big with 20-50 from a target or amazon order when there were no limits is only profiting about $200-$500. Good money for a short period hold but hardly life changing and not worth getting worked up over if you missed out.

  29. So I've just boarded the ferry to return home to Tasmania after a couple of weeks in Victoria (with the car suitably loaded with Lego acquisitions of course) and discover that one of the two movies being shown on board tonight is the Lego Movie. Still trying to convince my wife to watch it with me so I don't look too shady sitting in the boat cinema alone. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Brickpicker mobile app

Comments on other sites were too full of hysteria and baseless speculation for my liking! The best part is those putrid Brickpicker speculators will likely not make the money they

  34. I obviously don't know the Austrailian market, but these are SUPER sellers during Christmas. Chima is popular, not like Friends or Ninjago, but I sold A LOT of minifigures last Christmas. I have about 20 of these and sold them all at 15$ each. I have about 10-15 more I got earlier this year from BN I plan to do the same with.

Early version with typo. http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=120521&colorID=86 Corrected version. http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=124298&colorID=86 I wonder if Lego will send people the corrected one.
