OK since you have it all figured out then I suggest you go and start your own lego how to do it website. You have been skating on thin ice here the past few days and we have been pretty lenient with you but it stops now or you will no longer be a member here. If you want to be a part of this community knock off the trolling. If you don't want to be a part of it I can help you leave. The decision is yours.

People need to learn from others' mistakes and only use IPR (Immediate Payment Required) on eBay

I agree -

I just spoke to LEGO CS and they just agreed for me to return mine after 6 months! But, I pay the postage. I no longer have faith in this set and can't stand the Simpsons anyway. I may revisit in a few years when EOL is expected as I bought way too early. For the sake of

I think we need to summarize the last 5 or 6 pages. Fallingwater is a great set. So are most Architecture sets. They have no minifigures. Patience is needed. People are not making money flipping the a $100 set for $130. Real resellers flip Elsa's Shiny Shack or whatever it's called.

Instead of debating and banging it out on the keyboard, cut a promo like this one and post it. It will be far more entertaining.

It's not just Lego I take to the extreme, I am also an avid fan of Christmas lights, and so I thought I'd share my Christmas light display with all of you: Anyone else taking it to the extreme with Christmas decorating? Thanks, Jim

Definitely poofed right now. I'm pretty sure it hasn't been in stock for an hour or so.

*head asplode* I don't even care if it's canon or not, this would be awesome. A power functions train in some sort of a space city setup would be awesome. While we're at it, how about a Star Wars modular. :-)

Now Matthew doesn't exist for a few days. If his attitude continues when he gets back from his vacation, it will become permanent.

..and by fascinating you mean awesome/ridiculous/cha-ching.

Funny, I actually contacted a distant relative who lives in London just to catch up and had mentioned this set. Her husband is from Denmark and so I asked if he was flying through Billund anytime soon. He wasn't, but his dad was coming to visit them the next day and flying through Billund. I will be receiving 3 of these. No word if he actually could have bought more, but I'll take it!

Wow, my mine just went for 130 including shipping - my biggest ever profit!

I think the over saturation theory might be a product of us finally paying attention to the stock levels instead of just walking past them like they were galaxy squad

Please let's move on

Some people make a living selling this "crap" all year long - The world is by no means ending on 12/25.

They actually just did in the US.

I got $525 from a collector for mint condition.

I've had this happen before (they didn't even change the font) & eBay does take their time but eventually they must be told something because their type was changed later. Pic remained the same though.

Im guessing Tabby is disguise ?

Like you I also stocked up heavily on these but I won't be parting with mine for a couple of years. I expect UG to perform similarly to Harry Potter The Burrow

This set is absolutely not returning. It's been over two years and in an underperforming line. That being said, pretty much from moment one everyone has talked about how this set is iconic, and it's the one people will want from the Hobbit line for years to come. You've had plenty of time, and they were avail for 50-60 during most of its existence. Everyone should have a good stash of these. It may fall under the Long Term Hold plan, as I think a lot of people have grabbed some (and had plenty of time to do so at a good price) - but this is going to have appeal to AFOL's for a very long time to come. I don't think $250 is unreasonable for this thing in a couple years, and I would be pretty stunned if it settles for anything less than $200. If you don't have any, TRU is still shipping for $65.

Welcome to BP. '&do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> Hopefully this helps.

3368 Space Centre for $119+ shipping.

I honestly have no idea about the whole ebay thing and what will appear more likely than others, and so forth. Really don't put much thought in it, at least yet, as this is a side thing for me...and my wife wants me to clear some room. Just put up another one at $249.95, shocked if it sells, but who knows. Don't have an ebay store, either, just my lone self selling things that collect dust.

It is for me! Lol

Just remember: always pillage BEFORE you burn.

I like to round down... : )

And I don't think that you'll be sorry for that.

If I can turn a millennium falcon into a Tower Bridge, I will consider that a nice little investment upgrade and call it a day!

Got my two as well, love them being in a box with zero padding, but no damage. Ordered two more, so see how it makes out.

Pshhhhh. If it's truly gone it's not going down after Christmas. Keep selling at $199 folks.

Mine have been 5lb 2oz using 20x16x4 with heavy kraft paper to fill any voids.

Shop shopping, shopping at Ross: 5560 Pink Box for my niece $22.99 60054 for my nephew (been seeing a lot of these at different Ross') $6.99 Sent from my XT1028 using Brickpicker mobile app

Jais let me tell you just because I have been buying a lot does not mean I know what I am doing. I sure hope I do. Don't we all.

You will probably just have to suck it up and get one. I was in the same situation. I realised, the price just keeps climbing. Luckily I was able to get one for the Low Low price of only $250. I figured I didn't have a snowballs chance in finding one at a store, brick brick or virtual at MSRP. Glad I pulled the trigger. This one just keeps climbing.

"I'm selling so much, but my stock keeps getting bigger!" Try using lunch to......... eat lunch instead of scavenging stores for LEGO

Big fan of lotr and not raining on any parades but not a fun build. Put this black piece on that black piece 1x 4x 8x 12x rinse and repeat over and over. Looks bad ass in my ikea detolf but lots of the same thing.

It will be when my son graduates college in 18 years.

whatcha talkin' bout? - <sarcasm mode engaged>. here's what took 7965's place:

I don't think so. From what I have seen, the values are relatively the same between a misprint and a normal one.

That one is mine She is always in the middle of everything as you can see here

Open a SNAD case - that gets sellers attention faster than anything else, as it causes a defect and you can escalate to get eBay involved. It doesn't even matter if you don't want to send it back - you can ask for anything reasonable (or even not reasonable but I know that's not the case here) -- you can ask for a partial refund in the amount it will cost you to get the missing pieces on BL, for example. Worst case scenario, eBay will tell you you have to return for refund, but you don't have to do that, you can just keep the set. If you don't want to go through the hassle at all, then a negative feedback is warranted, IMO, because of the lack of communication/resolution from the seller. If a seller screws up but fixes it, I either leave positive or no feedback.

Odd thing was that the seller had 600+ perfect feedback. I question if he/she could have had their account hijacked. Recent update...Ebay made me fill out a police report and after I did that a few days later (today) they issued me a full refund for $1601.99. I can say that I'm thoroughly impressed with Ebay. Good news is that the seller never responed to my emails asking what happened so it was very clear it was a scam and Ebay quickly ruled in my favor. Chris.

40056 Thanksgiving Feast has some bottles that are good substitutes. LEGO is not stupid, they just can't do alcohol smuggling: pool bar and cookies? Come on. Even lego says it's alcohol. This set is really fun. If they stop the modular line after this, I am going to kidnap Jamie, throw him in a hole with heaps of LEGO and play the "put the modular in the basket" game.

If you think no one cares about those shirts, you haven't been to my gym lol.
