lil billy can have one delivered to his house from mine for $400

That's like asking Mongols to pillage responsibly.

I aint selling mine, the manager and I held some kid down while my 2-year old slapped them silly so my 6-year old could get one.

"Epic" ? Pets included are parrots, frogs, a dog, a cat, a fish... I can't see any phoenix, unicorn or dragon. ^^

Plus, with the GG's costs skyrocketing, the pet shop may be able to provide supper for the family at a more reasonable price point.

I'm going to follow your lead with the Rover and get a set of discs signed by Affleck, Clooney and Bale, is Adam West still alive?

I got my two HH from Amazon. Beautiful additions.

I got more. If these things were as scarce as people are reporting, kids fighting, parking lot deals I think I will hold and see if they appreciate.

Some Friends junk. Heartlake Vet - $100 Heartlake Stables - $90 - Same buyer as Vet and and an in-state sale, yeah! Stephanie's Cool Convertible, Heartlake Flying Club, and Stephanies's Outdoor Bakery - $60

I don't get the PS hate. If you've ever lived in a big city, it captures that "feel" far more than the other modulars. It could also easily be contemporary, whereas most of the others are stuck in the mid 1950's. FB is the ugly duckling of the group; TH is actually pretty nice, though I could imagine a symmetrical exterior build being a little less interesting.

Personally, I would not recommend anyone investing in castle or kingdoms. Too generic and too repetitive most of the time. Some people may have luck selling when they bought cheap, but around the $100 mark there are much better investment sets available, also exclusive

Also people are entiltled to their own opinion, as well as it not any one persons job to convince the masses that any one opinion is correct. To each his own.

I've had good experiences with ship to store, just don't have them ship to your house.

Fair enough...

"Consistent seller" does not equal "epic seller" or "epic set" in my opinion. I just think your first post was laying on the praise for PS a little too much. Comparing it to the TH, which could be retiring early due to slow sales, is not exactly the best way to make your case for this being a "heavyweight" for LEGO.

Depends on who you ask. I would place it on the smaller end of the large sets. For me, anything with over 1,000 pieces is considered a larger set for Technic. A medium set is from 500 to 999, and a small set is anything below 500.

My 5 HH shipped from amazon 3rd party. They said they would pack it extra well. Here is to hope.

Honestly, up until about three weeks ago, nobody cared about the Pet Shop. It is a nice set, but it really just blends. It will do well after retirement, but it will exhibit the weakest growth IMO of all the current Modulars.

I'm still stockpiling 10226s when found at MSRP or better. I've been lucky enough to still find used sets pretty cheap as folks are concentrating on new / sealed ones. I did miss out on cheap used one yesterday though as I didn't have enough time for a last min bid (school trip with my son). I made up for it by ordering an extra desert during lunch. Another nice thing is the box isn't too big for storage.

Was at my local Lego store 3 days ago and was directly told that this set and the Haunted House have been "officially retired". Of course, the staff know nothing, but what the 2 people I spoke with appeared certain about was that they can now "only be picked up on the secondary market". Personally I waited on the Sopwith camel for investment, I`ve now bought a stack of them through separate orders, I love this set and from waht I`ve seen the people who also love it will be willing to pay quite a premium for it. I missed the Haunted House though, that one I really screwed up on. Figured it would be out till end of year, big, big, big, big, huge mistake!! Gah!!!

Ole kirk christiansen is rolling over in his grave.

Of all things my 2nd order of 2 Town Halls from Walmart a week ago that has been slowly going nowhere just shipped. Pleased.

Also a friends and city set at RRP I think I will pickup my first megablocks set, COD Odin space station

darn resellers. little billy will never get one at this rate.

No scripts, no HHs!! Sorry people :(

Hoard, but hoard carefully, we don't need another GE.

Agreed. But sometimes, someone will take the $20, and along with getting their investment back, be happy to invest it into something else.

Lol there is no way I can compete with people willing to make $20 on a $220 item

looks like bricklink finally released their long awaited redesign plans with a high level schedule. after reading the announcement, i read mostly pros. we'll see.... http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/newsview.page?msgid=862333 BrickLink Product Roadmap 2014-2015 New Feature and Milestone Announcement by Marvin Park | 2014-10-17 EST Dear BrickLink members, I hope you

jaylay is in HI. everything is different over there in the paradise.

Nice. No shipping no fees and no paypal SNAD months from now. I am thinking about CL to flip mine as well. That's the way you do it. Money for nothing and chicks for free.

Well, there is somewhat persistent rumor about 2016. We should do a meet once it retires. Do a cosplay build party with beer bongs and such. Burn the one we build on a stake, or some sort bonfire maybe. Or industrial laser, to remain in character.

Nice score Tabby- I have just 3. And I hate to do it, but I'm pretty sure we're going to tear into one of them tonight. I mean, that was always the plan - to have one for ourselves - but looking at prices now (and imagining where they may go)... it's going to be hard to crack those seals. I've been preparing my six-year-old all week: telling him that this will be not his Lego, but our family's Lego. That we're going to set it up for Halloween, then take it down after the holiday - just like a Christmas tree. You will not take the minifigures to your room. You will not swap their heads with your stormtroopers or Darth Vader... jeez... I feel like the dad in the Lego movie. But I gotta lay down some law.

Just as I pointed out that image uses someone's custom modular blurred in the background and is not official, here is my proof. >Pumpkin Factory by RedCoKid

Only thing that seems odd is the mudguards and two panels are not in dark green to match the rest of the vehicle. Otherwise it looks great.
