23 Days of Christmas Day 4: Twas the Night before the Living Dead... Santa Claus vs Zombies Close up of the carnage on Brickster Ave.

I don't know man....the way society is trying to turn Merry Christmas into "Happy Holidays," maybe Santa will be banned next. Wait, that might make it worth more. Guys, my name's not Timmy or Johnny, but please save me one next year cuz I'm listing my only one now.

Lol I made spectacular mistake by posting 4 on eBay for $135 each before dinner a few days ago. ALL were sold by the time I finished dinner. Pro tip: DO NOT put anything on sale when you are hungry :D

Yeah, but...I'm willing to bet it will be next year's as well. This set's popularity will not go away. It will be back in Feb. Will it be gone by this time next year? I'm willing to bet, yes. DC is plentiful in stock this year, and not nearly as popular. This set will be just as popular next year, and for years after.

Heading to the Dome to watch the game. ROLL TIDE!!! Gonna be a long day. Had already purchased Weezer tickets for the Christmas Show and forgot about the championship being the same day so I'm doing both! LEGO shopping, SEC Championship, and Weezer all in one day. Couldn't ask for a better day LOL

Just picked up one at the Columbus store. They are keeping them in the back and you have to ask for it. Thought about bribing the little kid next to me a shinny quarter to pick up another one but his mom looked like she was going to sound a Amber alert.

I know what you do and how you report counterfeiters on eBay. Just wanted to say thanks. Wish more people would do this. Wish lego and eBay would do more about it. So many frozen plush fakes on eBay.

$70-$75 might be the ceiling on these for a few weeks while everyone who is thinking like you tries to flip them out, but, long term, that's more of the floor than the ceiling. If you want an apt comparison, 6177 isn't the right set to be looking at. The 5512 XXL box that was Walmart's Black Friday treat 3 years ago is a much better comparison: http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-5512-XXL-Brick-Box/dp/B006DXP918/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1417825454&sr=8-2&keywords=lego+xxl

My eBay Store.

Here is Version 1.0 of the Brickpicker LEGO Stock Tracker. There will be a few different pages and trackers released over the coming days. This one here will be one that is updated very frequently. This list here will not grow to 100 sets or anything like that. I want to keep it focused on key sets that are desirable and sought after. This tracker will also be enhanced over the next few days to setup alerts via the site as well as email and SMS. I have included the current price on the site as well as an alert icon if the current price is higher that retail MSRP. You will also see how long ago the in-stock status was checked. This page also works well on mobile devices. For now this page is open to everyone to see what it is, but as I finish the upgrades you will need to be a member and be logged into the site in order to access it. As I mentioned earlier, there will be other pages that will be monitoring all of the sets stock and prices on Amazon, Target, LEGO, Walmart and TRU. These should be live by next week if not sooner. We will use the thread to discuss adding or removing sets on this list of constant updates. I hope you like the start, it will continue to improve. Let me know your thoughts. http://www.brickpicker.com/brickwatcher/lego_stock_checker.cfm

got them for $6.00

I'm not sure what $30 CA relates to the US dollar, but it might be worth picking up a few. MSRP in the US was $25 and it was commonly available for <$25 before retirement. This is one of my favorite newer Star Wars sets and has a great collection of minifigs. Plus, the set itself is quite nice for the price. It's also the only reproduction of the skiff since the very early one back in 1999 or 2000. I remember gettting one for my personal collection for ~$17 last early December when Amazon had their great sales and I wish I would have picked up more. Would've been nice if similar sales happened this year, but no....

Excellent, I ordered 8, wanted to quick flip them and 6 have come in and gone out almost same day at $72 each. Not a lot of $ but percentage profit wise I wish I got a semi trailer of them too.

LOL. Duly noted. I already added it in my acronyms. If anyone is having trouble spending $75 at Target just ask your wife because mine certainly has no problem meeting that criteria

Lets go ahead and add TP for exciters toilet paper posts today

It amazes me that these tubs of bricks appreciate in value when they are essentially interchangeable with other tubs of bricks but we have seen it before. These sets do go up in value. I set my price fairly high for mine but if they don't sell its ok. I'll hold them awhile.

Don't worry the DS is on its last Leg and the ones that don't have any or just a few well we will see them on the Panic Buying wagon, just like the other Exclusives that retired in the last few months, so if you don't have any you bet start getting a few or it will be another set you regreted not getting and this could be the last $400 set that we be retiring . "SO GET THOSE DS" It will be a big money maker. Ed

Two individual Series 1 Black Mixels for $13 each, and 1 Series 1 Yellow Mixel for $19.

my perfect $100 Lego store order arrived Thursday on Friday Santas workshop- $150 Cave- $50 Jor-El- $8 Winter 2/2 $20 I still have the 2 keychains and shredder 24hr quick flip for 100%

^ this.... is what I'm doing and have done. Even if Lego brings it back for a while, it's been a winner and will continue to do so.

Even if you a just a builder. Sell it for $150, and buy another + more lego Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

It's a gamble. In 2012, Advent Calendars were rampent in clearance end caps across the country. The next year (2013) was the historic shortage. I missed out, and didn't look twice when this year's calendar came out. Moral of the story - none of us know if there will be a shortage or not. Placing your money where your gut is is as good a chance as any other in this case.

Not sure if I should be ordering on toyrus.ca or they will become available readily everywhere there after...

I disagree. That'd like letting them win. Keep reporting them to eBay keep sending hate mail. Keep telling lego. Or for most of you.... Start.

Be ready on 12/15 Kmart may get another 5 sets in http://www.kmart.com/lego-ideas-research-institute/p-004W008752892001P?sLevel=0&redirectType=SKIP_LEVEL

You should have looked for teenagers smoking weed in the parking lot, c'mon!

Received my order from Fleet Farm today. Absolutely fabulous packing. Some of the best I have ever received. I probably will shoot them a message giving my regards to the packing department.

The exact same thing was said about 6866 last year.

If this is true, hopefully this will shift TLGs focus and strategies from the resellers to the counterfeiters!

I bought these towers two at a time until stock ran out this week. I haven't really decided to flip or hold, but if they all ship from Wal-Mart I'll have over 50 sets. As a parent I can tell you that the price per brick is a huge draw. A lot of kids don't even really want sets, they just want something to build with. I also stocked up of 10681 from Fred Meyers when they had them for $14 each. Between the two I have 75 basic brick sets and if they ever come back into stock, I'm going for more. I wish could get my hands on hundreds of towers...

Yes. They bought two first nights at 100 and a farm at 90

Sea Port is being counterfeited in its entirety (the entire set, including the box - Lego logo, if you ask for it). I would not invest in any of the smaller Super Heroes sets for this reason, unless you get them for at least 50% off retail. The counterfeiters sell them under the exact same set names and numbers, and they will be available forever at $15 each with free shipping from China. Lots of fake Iron Man minifigures and War Machine, in every color of the rainbow, are widely available at $1 per figure. This is a problem that has only been growing worse. For whatever reason, Super Heroes sets and figures are far more likely to be counterfeited than, say, Star Wars. Some collectors will want to shell out for the real thing, but lots of parents and kids will be content with cheap figures that look almost exactly the same.

I just sold one at $175 on eBay Not sure if I missed this but saw this on LEGO Shop at Home just now: Santa's Workshop Item: 10245 Ages:12+ VIP Points: 69 Pieces:883 Temporarily out of stock We

TRU.ca has Lego 21110 on for pre-order. Expected delivery is Dec 19, 2014. http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=42333006&prodFindSrc=endCap

City Arctic Ice Breaker - $190 - bought for $95 yesterday w/ freebie 4 x Friends Summer Riding Camp - $190 (maybe I should increase the price?)

I have had lots of Minecraft orders I placed coming in lots of them. This is nuts. Every batch I get every day I post and sell everything I post that day in under 12 hours. Still a few more shipments to come in. If you can find these still not the big 2 sets but farm, first night, cave and crafting box. Get them asap. Pure gold. Not double triple margins but good solid large 25-50% margins. If you turn enough of these it adds up. I could hold till closer but I'd rather have 2 birds in the hand than 4 in the bush. Now back to packing.

If you have zero of them then I wouldn't blame you for picking up two. I am no expert but I jumped when I could get them at 20% off back in May and also on cyber Monday when I could get one at a 20% discount. Hate paying full price but this one has many of the signs of being done. The questions remains, what are they going to do when the new movie comes out next year. Oh to only have a crystal ball. My two cents. (But I do like trains too.) But if I could buy something today it would be the Falcon.

I wasn't aware that they didn't own any of the parks but it's hard to say they are doing the opposite when they keep making lego cartoons and movies...reality show in the works...with more on the horizon. There are only so many licensed themes out there that they can eventually make. The licenses that they make bank on from TMNT, Star Wars, Hobbit LOTR etc are not forever and can and do end. To be large and stable, they need multiple line of revenue in case one takes a major hit. We can only guess to the motives of a huge private company, but it is interesting to discuss. These article explain what I was trying to say a little better... http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/2013/06/build-brand-content-empire-learn-from-lego/ http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/oct/14/lego-reality-tv-show-lego-movie-batman

Does appear to be the same canned post everytime a big set vanishes. But there is always someone new learning from it. Emazers is always trying to help us here, I applaud him.

A majority of my business all year has been 0 or near 0 feedback buyers on eBay. There has never been any trouble, but they also don't remember to leave feedback. I think it's just parents who are tired of looking or shopping around for something that would rather pay the money online and save the trouble lol! Also, how about those barages of email questions on your products "where can I find this in store? My child really wants this." lol. I get a ton of those a day now. I guess it's to be expected as I sell more hot children's toys than I do Lego. My favorite week was when I got a shipment of 30 of a new toy a week before release in stores on accident and I was the ONLY seller on eBay. That was a fun week.

Years ago when I worked retail, we would buy products from a competitor and sell them at a loss just to have them "on the shelf." Granted, no shelves here, but maybe the same thing? Either way, a sale is a sale.

Great work, I think your margins and sales are most likely better as you are of a Lego Master Seller Ninja, but I've got 26 shipments to process tonight for Friday through Sunday. At first having 20 or 30 sales in a load to the post office was fun, now I'm starting to feel the burden part of it. Its all good. That's at least what I keep telling myself.

You can use up to 55000 pts, and get 55000 pts back. Net result is pay 38. or so out of pocket with no loss of pts.

Interesting view point. I too have stocked up on MC but have taken a different approach. I have acquired more of the smaller sets. My main concern with the larger sets is that when you shop around at the moment (in the UK but from what I read the US is similar) the four smallest sets tend to be OOS with most retailers whilst the largest two are still widely available. In my view the Ender Dragon is the weakest set and would be the last to go OOS. The Mine is a great set but the most expensive. I am fairly confident that the smaller sets will go OOS with Lego S @ **** in the next few days because these are clearly in great demand (although Lego may have stockpiled a large amount). The largest two are, in my view, the most likely to remain in stock therefore in my view your strategy is higher risk but if The Mine does go OOS you will be quids in. There is still significant value in the smaller sets in my opinion. In the UK The Cave is selling on ebay for

OK, I just received my package from Yo-Yo. When I open it, there are tons & tons of air bubbles. At the bottom of the box is my order of 10 Mixels. While they arrived safely & I'm grateful for that. The box seems a little too big for 10 Mixels. So, let's see what would have fit appropriately in this box. Oh, here it is, Winter Market Village fits just fine & with enough room left over for the Mixels. No...not 1 WMV but 5! 5 WMV fit very comfortably in this box...

I just saw the whole lot of these "summer Friends" show up at Target after they shifted the main building block products aisles again which now includes Nanoblocks and some brands I never heard before. Anyway I spotted the Heartlake Shopping Center at an end cap. H-o-l-y c-r-a-p. That thing is HUGE! All these summer wave Friends sets look fantastic just from the box. I am impressed. I'm more for the city related sets but still whoa. I really wanted to pick up Olivia
