It has been revealed! and boy is it gorgeous! More info and fotos at: http://brickset.com/article/12209 Set will most likely be a $250 set, hope it will have a big box. I like big boxes. What do you guys think of the set? Time to unload 8097 to start with

Jeff and his programming minions are making nice progress on the Classifieds. I feel really bad always saying this because I've been saying it for a long time, but the newest version looks and works great. There are just do many small details that always need to be addressed when dealing with money. It has to be done right or people will lose faith immediately. I will just leave you with one main idea of the Classifieds...We are seller friendly.

Bought this beauty for $300 this weekend on CL, complete with minifigs and instructions

Thought I would post Found the Rockefeller Center 21007 as they were putting out stock at a thrift store for $3. Box and instructions included. Just sold for $31 on eBay I am happy, can justify my new hobby easier to the wife Any other first flip success stories?

Guess what decided to surface this fine afternoon? Don't really care for all the stickers... But otherwise I really like it! EDIT: Video seems to not want to work... Link is correct. If you would like to see the pictures check out Just2Good's channel on Youtube. Pictures are NOT confidential.

I'm very sorry that you're having to deal with this. Has your other account been suspended as well? While I think our favorite amphibian will be best able to answer your questions (you may want to PM Frog) I will say that I never use stock photos. I have also never heard of an account being suspended for the reasons you cite.

I'm reckoning that the Macks' mean GOOD seller friendly. Buttheads and scammers will be shown the door with a boot unless I miss my guess. With a seller friendly environment, more sellers are attracted, which means more competition, better prices for buyers, and lots of good sellers to choose from. I call that pretty buyer friendly and look forward to buying here.

My wallet is crying.... still haven't picked up the sandcrawler and now this must have comes out. Looks nice!

Who is your source? ???? Actually, I already know as I snapped a photo of the 3 of you. He's the one to the left in the dark (no pun)

That's what I told my wife when I walked out of the store with them. "honest, honey, they just followed me home...can we keep them?"

I bought an Imperial Flagship 10210 used missing three small pieces but comes with manual and box for $150 on ebay from a 1 feedback seller, doh. I figured I would take that chance as it was too good to pass up.. It showed as shipped just now. Keeping the fingers crossed.

Uh oh!!!!

But does your source look....LIKE THIS??

This made me LOL.

I think it's one of the best promos ever released by LEGO. Very cute and classic at the same time.

I have almost finished building mine. Had a very similar issue to you and thought I was missing a couple of those same 1x2 tiles. Turns out in the step before or a few before you put two tiles on some sort of a hinge piece that clips on next to each seat kind of like a mini control panel (sorry set is at home and I'm not so hard to describe exactly). In that step it was supposed to be the printed keyboards used and not the blank tiles, it was hard to tell without looking very closely in decent light. That meant I then had the 10 free for the step with the seats.

I've seen similar deals in my city. All of them were a scam. If the prices are too good to be true, they usually are.

they are merely "sold out" with "retiring soon" tag.. They are not retired officially. De-facto they are. But neither "sold out" not "retiring soon" mean jack. Combined, they are quite definite, but unless they are marked retired, they are not retired

If I remember correctly, exclusives rarely make these lists.

I don't think TLC wants Elsa's Palace and Cinderella Castle to be competing

Hmmm, Heartlake High and Cinderella Castle would be a little bit of a surprise.

Out of production now: Unexpected Gathering Umbaran MHC Simpsons Minifigs Ninjago Temple of Light Passenger Train Cargo Train Out of production 12/31/14: The Mine 4x4 Crawler Heartlake High Cinderella's Romantic Castle Cargo Terminal King's Castle Rancor Pit Jabba's Sail Barge Republic Gunship Millennium Falcon Dol Guldur Battle

The comments in this topic make me realize that is set is going to be huge and fantastic, people that are normally not into SW, Spaceship, UCS etc. wanting this set. Can't wait for the aftermarket!

So when should we start the Retiring Soon thread?

The coupon code is 941612846. Says it's good on toys and much of the Lego is on sale. Might stack nicely but unfortunately their mobile site scums and won't show me more than 10 sets.

Glad you were able to find pictures rather than video! Great find!

Looks great. Piece count is a lot better than I had heard. I was worried it would be in the 1500 range like they had done a couple of times which at a 200$ price point is not very good.

Wow! Definately a winner! Loving the artwork on the new UCS boxes!

Originally the WV sets lasted 3 years, but the more recent releases have only lasted 2. Therefore, this is likely the last season for the Market. Here is a recap with my order of desirability. The Market is tied for last, but that's sort of like being the ugliest girl at the Miss America pageant. It's still pretty hot. (btw I love this theme.) #3 Toy Shop 3 Years, #4 Bakery 3 years, #5 Post Office 2 years, #1 Cottage 2 years, #5 Market 2 years?, #2 Santa Workshop ?

Right, there is no grand scheme to cheat non-US members of anything. On the contrary, we are trying to make the site more friendly for non-US members. The SSD thread is becoming too large. It slows emails and response time, so maybe some responses are moved or deleted. It's not personal...just computer guy mumbo jumbo...

They did not suspend my other account. I'm hesitant to use that to sell until I get this issue resolved.

the first Lego flip I have done was for Cloud Cuckoo Palaces, bought around 6 of them for $10 or less each. Sold the Uni-Kitty / Snail combo for $18.00 each.

Yeah less crying......more buying.

Ed was sharing his opinion. To a few European members, Can we stop with making this personal. Honestly, I respect my European friends, love traveling to Europe (5 visits since 2007) and Lego collectors but honestly, I still couldn't care less about non-US data despite 25% of my sales coming from Europe. However, know who cares about non-US data? JEFF AND ED CARE. Brickpicker currently share news from Euro centric Lego web sites, links, Ads, deals, and oh yeah, the price guide contains non-US sales data. That data is pretty expansive. We also welcome non-US constructive threads. So please cease with getting defensive with the US vs. Euro talk. Brickpicker is by far a very friendly and informative GLOBAL web site. Please keep this thread on-topic.

Don't forget the poor mans Rancor (the rock monster from the Rock Raiders theme)

I am thinking the same way. Keep in mind that Europe always is a bit "behind" on the US. It takes a bit more time here to appreciate. This has advantages but it means we (Europeans) just have to wait a bit longer to sell. In Europe people seem to be a bit more conservative in spending money and they watch the cat from the tree first. If this set will get the retired tag at ShopatHome it will do just fine.

Same as Stud-u-like, how did you guys manage that! Where did you buy them from? I had mine very close to MSRP, hence the need to wait much longer to make the whole thing worth while! I just bought one of them at

You do always remember your first. For me it was Hulk's helicarrier. Bought at 35 sold at 90 plus shipping. Still remember the moment the phone went ca-ching. Pulled it out and went 'wow it sold' Congrats almost 1000% return after all is said and done. Wish they all were like that.

Sold a 10133 BNSF GP-38 Locomotive, NISB for $330. This was my first foray into buying a retired set, that already had some value associated with it, and flipping it for more. Found it on Goodwill a few months ago. Couldn't pass it up, and bought it at about $220. Not a bad return on 3 months hold.

My first flip was DC this past Christmas. Buy at $56 sell at $128. U always remember your first

I think this thread could serve as a place for random toy news (non-Lego).

That's only before he eats sushi on Mon Calamari.

Just wait. Some lego outlets have as much as 80 cases in the stockroom and they are not selling. Same with simpsons house. I used to buy all the box damage ones with the bonus pts and promos and there never ending. If there not selling at that price which amounts to about 155 after the extra points and poly I think there definitely heading down before up. Not saying they wont long term but something that you should see a better price on later on

Exact same deal here: 3.5 year old and a 3.5 month old, plus the wife. In fact, I don't think she realizes to what extent I am into this hobby as everything is tucked away in bins every night...

This set will NOT retire this year, neither will the Pet Shop. SSD and GE will though. Please don't ask for my source.

Depending on what part of the country you're in, you may find USPS priority regional boxes useful. Priority Mail Regional Box A1 10" x 7" x 4-3/4" Priority Mail Regional Box A2 10-15/16" x 2-3/8" x 12-13/16" Priority Mail Regional Box B1 12" x 10-1/4" x 5" Priority Mail Regional Box B2 14-3/8" x 2-7/8" x 15-7/8" I don

It really is too bad this set retired in the US before double VIP this year.

You don't need LEGO when you're stilling moonshine, trapping, hunting, or making babies.

Yeah they sold like hot cakes in my area and nobody was trying to sell them in the parking lot for a 2x profit either.
