Maybe for QFLL purposes, but this set isn't dead. The Ecto-1 is definitely not dead. That one will be a post EOL winner big time. Just because a set cannot be flipped for profit while still in production and widely available at retail cost doesn't make it "dead... for investment purposes." It's just not a good flip.

I'm not sure what concerns me most about this purchase. 1.) Why someone would buy that bobble head 2.) Why he was removing the bras 3.) Where the stain came from Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Brickpicker mobile app

We have recently seen examples of items being in the catalog, but already gone including the spring catalog with the SSD. Also are you really from Antarctica? If so, is Lego's current Arctic theme a hot seller there? If so, is that dangerous?

Found one lone Series 1 Mixel at Target today and thought that was a good find but then I saw something I couldn't believe - a Horizon Express sitting on the bottom shelf!! Clearly it had to have been an online return, so of course I grabbed it, but when I scanned it, no price came up. I took it to the service counter and had already decided I would be purchasing it no matter what, but secretly hoping for a huge discount. After a few minutes, I was told it was $115.46, which was 30% off of an inflated original Target price of $164.99. After the red card discount, it came to $109.69, 15% below the true MSRP. Not a huge discount, but since this set is nowhere to be found at retail anymore, needless to say, I was quite happy with my find!

Got this for my own building pleasure today on sale.

On eurobricks today: "Okay, update on the rumored 10179 rerelease. I spoke with the informant over the phone today about whether there was going to be an updated 10179. My bud was at the toy fair in NYC and supposedly they had a private behind closed doors event for dealers that showcased a few products we haven't seen yet. There was a falcon on display that was different than 10179 that had lights and new features. However, according to my informant, this isn't the new UCS. They aren't remaking 10179. Period. Economically, lego felt it wouldn't work well with their intended market (children) and the price point would have made hard core adult collectors cringe. I sat there on the phone disappointed when the conversation took another turn. There was another model on display that lego was pitching as the next BIG UCS. As I've stated previously, my informant owns a toy shop and isn't an

To not be modest, I actually dropped 32lbs from June to mid September this year and I'm still losing weight in bits and pieces. My hockey team had a weight loss challenge that I won and made $160 ( bought the team round after the game). 2 key factors for my weight loss is 1) I drastically reduced my carb intake. I will usually get my carbs from fruit not breads. 2) I eat to not be hungry instead of eating to be full. This is the lightest I've been in over ten years and I have to say it feels great.

Hello All, Just posted pics of my latest MOC, here are some pictures. It is a large diorama of a Mecha base/hangar. Fun build, check it out. Here are some teaser pics, visit my MOCpages for more details. http://mocpages.com/moc.php/403418

In general, I'm in the 'if it hasn't appreciated much in the first year, dump it' camp. However, with the LR train there's a separate issue. Target clearanced these (again) several months ago for $70. I do think that messes with predictions a bit for this set, as there are lots of flippers out there who will take their $15 profit and move on. So I give the train another six months to show me what it can do. As for the others, if I had them, I'd sell them. Edit: True story. I bought lots of 10144 Sandcrawlers back in the day for $100 each. Thought I'd get $200 for 'em after a year. But after 12 months the price was more like $160. Awful appreciation off a $140 MSRP base. But I love jawas and I love sandcrawlers, so I held for another 2 years and sold at $350 - $400. It was worth the wait.

When you have an order and you are ready to ship it. You will change the status of the order from "in process" to "shipped", a window will pop up and you can pick from a handful of shipping vendors and paste in the tracking information. Your buyer will get an email that it has been shipped and include a link to the tracking on the shippers site.

Not iconic? OK...sure.

I found these in two walmarts....40 each....

One Wal-Mart 3 x 31021 Furry Creatures - $13 2 x 3817 Flying Dutchman - $17 3 x 76022 X-Men vs. Sentinel - $35 6 x 9493 X-Wing - $30 - I was going to leave a damaged one behind, until I scanned and saw this price. They were unmarked in the Lawn & Garden section. I might go back, lots of $54 Unexpected Gathering, 3 x $49 Family House, 2 x Lake-Town Chase MSRP, 3 x $40 Cragger Command Ship, 1 x each Republic Gunship & Sail Barge, both a little trashy. They had a red tag for $64 Bike Shops, none left. Lots more too... I can't believe how hard it is to find the City Tow Truck for the $13 clearance price, they disappeared quick.

Welcome to BP Ducky. Ciglione has a good point, you can only benefit from getting to know your product intimately. I know there are peeps that don't and still do well but they are far and few between I'm sure. The biggest benefit I see from this is being able to make decisions on your own (hopefully finding that sleeper set nobody else figured out) and not relying on others mis/information in the future. On the whole this a very informative forum and the community is willing to share helpful information as long as an effort is put to researching the forums before asking lazy questions. For your initial investment set I would recommend reading through some of the specific set topics and you'll read members pros and cons of that particular set. I'm sure you will come to a decision that you'll be confident with on your own. Good luck!

Welcome to the forum Duckyluck! No additional advice from me. Except that in my opinion getting close with your product will help you make better business decisions. So maybe you can borrow some legosets from your wife's friend's husband just to build? I would recommend it. Good luck Duck!

I'm a big guy, 325lbs, but I am benching 350lbs+ and clean. Most guys at gym that lift that or more are juicing. Also ran first marathon this year. Don't know any other 300lb guys doing that Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

nope online, clear $40 per set at that price with our purchase price. We always offer the new larger / popular sets as we have customers that want them. It's not always about high % sales. It keeps people coming back and looking at your items when they know you will offer a lot of desirable sets. We also have a lot of exporting customers that buy stuff like this 5 at a time (tumblers and Volvo as well) Then it turns into a $200 profit per transaction with 1 shipping fee.

Jabba Palace, Rancor Pit, Desert skiff Combo for $260 bin free shipping. Y-wing fighter - 85.48 on amazon.

Raven is a master of discounts

Received 2 yoyo shipments 2 metal beards, 2 evil lairs. All in perfect shape. 5 orders of 2 ri's picked up from walmart. Getting someone to help me was ridiculous. 5 RIs from tru cancelled. My wife is getting annoyed. "Legos everywhere." "Oh another shipment of Legos, big surprise." Phrases like that have been making the rounds.

Took the pooch up to the vet specialist for her 2 week post surgery checkup. After a good report I headed to a nearby WM. Picked up 3x 75033 Star Destroyer for $7ea 16x 31015 Emerald Express for $3.50ea And out of nowhere found a 4597 Captain America for $14.97.

I am confused, what "NEW" information are you saying? Most all of this has been discussed on here for quite a fee months.

I just got a combo idea.. 21002 plus CMF series 3 Gorilla Suit Guy... Boom instant

4x MF: 71 euros a time 1x 42000: 48 euros 1x X-Wing: 31 euros 1 cargo terminal: 72 euros

Personally I follow the 85/15 rule. I eat clean 85% of the time and don't worry about the rest. We're human and we like our junk food. Moderation is the key. Drink plenty of water and sleep 6+ hours a night.

Neither set is dead.

I can't wait for Han Solo with the little black earring.

Wow! Never expected that... They're going all out, but I think they casual fan would like something a little more accessible.

Wheeee!!!

Sold out at S@H

where's the jealousy, dislike, why didn't mine sell button? (free shipping?)

I've only got one myself but i'm thinking of picking up a couple additional sets. Because it's available from limited sources, its probably the least hoarded of the TLM themed sets. It's already trending well on Ebay and it's not EOL yet. Also, the fire MECH from this set pairs well with Emmet's Construct-o-mech.

Rescue Reinforcements, Olivia's Ice Cream Bike, and Falcon Microfighter + all 3 promos = $75.96

Keep F5ing or regularly checking - I scored one about 2 minutes ago!

Speechless! I just sold an Umbaran MHC for $45 on EBay.

One of the fears on this set is it rides completely on figure exclusivity. the Aqua man is back out again now in a brand new set, and the batman is available in scary quantities as a knock off from China. It seems to me that exclusive figures have weathered the iniital storm of Chinese knockoffs, but it remains to be seen if that will always be the case. If 50 of us are selling Arctic Batmans loose on ebay, and 1000 Chinese knockoffs are also in the search on ebay, it might hurt things. Yes you can tell the difference in hand, but if ebay allows them to be sold its hard to not get lost in the flood

Sorry: couldn't resist: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/LEGO_Duck

We don't have k-marts here. If you want advice about collishop, fun, intertoys, bart smit or carrefour, I'd be happy to help you.

Cool, thanks. Maybe I'm not seeing it, but is there a "sell similar" item option? Creating a new listing is more time consuming than ebay because I have to retype the tags and info. I've been copying and pasting but that is also a hassle going back and forth between windows. I'm not complaining, if this is how it has to be that's how it goes, but when listing Super Heroes sets, for example, many tags would be the same. I'll send my pic.

Anybody take notice of how much a Slave I looks like a right angle grinder?

The wife gotta move out.. gotta need extra space for them UCS sets coming up

Up to this many.....

Interesting experience today via CL. A good one actually. Very nice guy, met me at a Mickey D's and I sold him a SC. The interesting part was he mentioned brickpicker during the transaction. I replied with "oh I guess you know what kind of scumbag I am then" heh heh. Had a good laugh, he doesn't resent lego investors though instead seemed genuinely interested.

I'm so anti pills and doctors and all that crap. I could care less is something is fda approved.... Do people reslly believe what they say is legit? Pills are horrible for u. I'm even weird about taking advil. All these big pharmacy companies do a risk reward estimate on possible risks. If they can make a billion dollars of of a pill regardless if it is safe or it it's coming to market one way or another. So what if they kill a few people.... They will pay out a few million to the families and still be profitable. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app

I started my life/health transformation over 7 years ago when I quit my 2 pack a day smoking habit cold freaking turkey. Fast forward 2 years and 25 extra pounds... Decided to do something - was sick all the time and at my heaviest at 215 lbs on a 6'1" frame, so I cut out soda, sweets, junk/fast food and got on the old P90X wagon. That was just the start... Been through about 6 different informercial workouts from The p90x folks and I'm down to a lean 165# - maintaining under 10% BF in my late 30s. That's a first ever, and I lived in gyms from high school through my mid twenties. My diet is completely plant-based now (over a year) and was a pescaritarian for about 2 years before that. Quitting dairy changed my life - I have never been healthier. Diet is 80% of the game. Strength, flexibility, and range of motion should everyone's goal. How you get there is highly personal. Just don't skip your yoga, people.

I keep my diet very clean. Stopped eating meat ten years ago. Still eat fish but only wild caught salmon. No cheese, milk, or butter. I do eat yogurt. No soda. I run 3-4 times a week 4-8 miles a shot. I have two lakes nearby with beautiful trails to run at. Doc says bloodwork and heartrate are perfect. It takes a lot of willpower. Burgers still smell good to me and running when its 40 degrees and raining is not fun. Not for everyone but it's what works for me.

Ha ha. This is the best trailer yet. The George Lucas Special Edition.

Hi Guys, Here's a MOD I did on 31026. Most talk about this set is it's size and lack of it. But it's actually quite versatile. I noticed that buying multiple copies of this set is one way to go on expanding it but I decided to work with one set and multiple pick-a-brick sessions. It was a fun process. I like this set and so does my kid, he just has a modular version of it now. Hope you guys like it.
