Now: "Eh, this set is a dust collector." "Lego really screwed the pooch on this one!" "Ewoks are so LAME! ROTJ is the worstest!" First Signs of EOL: "Guaranteed massive winner!" "ZOMG SO MANY AWESOME MINIFIGS! SO MANY PROFITS!!" "F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5" Book it. Edit: once again, the proofreader has been sacked.8 points

Since the (expected) EOL of the TH, I would really not be surprised that TLG will stop producing SOH. It can take a long while before they will clear out stock, but with the 15% discount they can sell a few. I ordered at least one last weekend and I'm planning to buy more this weekend, of course I will check the seal codes. I really wouldn't be surprised if SOH retires within a 2 year lifespan and becoming one of the rarest large sets out there.. it's at least not hoarded. is the set really that bad? In my opinion it isn't. Ed is right about the 'weight'; this set contains a lot of large pieces. Furthermore I think they did a good job designing the building and don't forget it is a extremely difficult roof and design this building in fact has. I like the set very much, but perhaps this is because I did the road trip of my life in that beautiful country of Australia.. I really like it that almost nobody is buying this even @ a good discount. 225 euro is great in my eyes, that's almost TB retail here in Holland. Do you like Taj Mahal? or the Statue of Liberty? I don't.. but when I see now how good these sets are performing I really don't want to miss out a great landmark set. For me it's a no-brainer, it is still part of the great landmark sets. I really think this will be a big surprise for a lot of people that it will go EOL sooner than you think. Demand in the aftermarket? Everybody loves rare and exclusive sets.. the rarer, the more desirable it will become.2 points

Yes it was. I replied within 15 minutes of the ad being posted and luckily I was the first one. Drove out 20 minutes and grabbed it immediately before the seller could rethink it. When I got there he said after I called there were another 3-4 people right after me. Lucky!2 points

Interesting twist at Kmart.com...on 21113, it says "Coming Soon! Release date: 12/15/2014" Perhaps this is the same date from Fry's (I cancelled that order). Now, is this just the official Kmart "batch" or is this a second wave that will be sent to all retailers? I wonder if some selling would be in order a couple days before that.1 point

During my package pickup today, my regular UPS guy (Who knows me all too well) gave me a heads up that UPS is expecting up to a 50% increase in deliveries this year, and that I should plan (shipping and receiving) for delays. He said I should ship stuff out a week sooner than I normally would, and that any incoming packages could be delayed up to a week as well. Obviously can be taken with a grain of salt, but nothing similar has been said to be the last few years by the fine folks at UPS. So there might be something to it. Any of you volume/last minute sellers, not to mention hot item opportunists, may want to be aware. For urgent deliveries, might want to check out 2-day or whatever.1 point

You forgot the reseller-special though: anyone who managed to get R2D2 in between TOOS will get an option to buy (for MSRP) specially re-released 10179 - it will show up at LEGO Shop at Home page for those accounts that purchased r2d21 point

Sold a Lone Ranger lot including the train/mine/colby city/cavalry for $210. Glad to see these yellow boxes disappear as they are not great. I was warned, I know. I will hold onto some trains for a while as I believe in them more than the others. Luckily my buy-in was pretty low on all these sets, generally 30-50% off.1 point

IMO the only problem of Sydney Opera House is that the Tower Bridge is still available. TB is almost $100 cheaper and has 1300 more pieces. That is what the average consumer thinks.1 point

I wasn't necessarily using the 'few bad apples' argument. There are a handful of police abusing the system one way or another across the country same as a lot of people in politics. Some of these incidences actually make it to the news like recently with civilians having their house and other belongings (usually cash) being seized without any sort of due process under civil forfeiture. Rather asinine when an officer can take your stuff away simply because he/she 'thinks' it may have been used in a crime or was the result of one without actual proof. Sort of like the "Guilty until proven innocent" mentality. Anyway as I said, I respect the good cops who observe the law they are meant to enforce but the bad ones are crooked same as the crooks they are busting (or supposed to be) and do not deserve to wear the badge.1 point

Mine shipped too. Let's hope that the boxes are at least in decent shape. I'm surprised because I still have GEs and SCs on backorder from Walmart.ca, and those are increasingly looking like they'll be cancelled. Also, love your name. I'm glad I could help out a fellow BPer, Canadian and Always Sunny fan1 point

When a drunk driver hits ur sisters car and totalls it. Hit and run. We found the guy today. He is a cop?!?!?! You all will likely be seeing me on the news soon. Hours of rage and I've finally composed myself.. Just for the record this Jerk has not been arrested. He us suspended with pay. Huge cover up going on. Again, drunk driver hit and run... Done by a cop. Justice will be served.1 point

I especially like this last bit... (emphasis on MF my own).... I personally have no ambition to pay crazy amounts of $ for a new or used 10179, but this bodes well for those of us who hold a faint hope (a new hope?) that Lego will re-release this beast!1 point

They obviously will be worth more money. It's % of growth that matters. If I get 100% gain on a smaller it still doubles my money. I look for gains not overall value. Exclusives are easier because less sales to profit.1 point
