Should we really increase the MIn.Wage?

​ yes but its poe's x-wing... just imagine...

​You need to ask different people...

The value was too good to pass up.

reports of the SOH demise were greatly exaggerated...

'Star Wars' Dreamliner will feature likeness of R2-D2 http://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2015/04/17/star-wars-dreamliner-will-feature-likeness-of-r2-d2/25923671/

​All members should read this as: Leave your price at $250 or above!!

​No there is not. Political discussions are generally ... well ... not allowed. That forum is for (mostly) less volatile topics like video games, movies, and other stuff that can related to hobbies and such.

​I always liked the fable about the dog and his reflection in the water... something about bones. As far as supply and demand goes, the price is affected by perceived drop in demand. It's all speculation and too much emotion right now. This is the way of the stock market as well. Stick to your plans and leave the emotions on the shelf.

​I think it has to do with supply and demand, for the most part...

​UCS Jar Jar bust is still a possibility.

​Shipping cost to Spain is only 21 USD - you might be able to sell the product cheap but why would you subsidise shipping too? One way of catching scammers might be to see if they took the time to calculate foreign shipping accurately - very low values could set off alarm bells.

​It still feels pretty good at $25 buy-in.

I disagree. Keep in mind the RI has already doubled in price here down under. Smaller, popular sets tend to increase in price faster than larger ones. Look at the RI compared to the GE for example. They also sell faster due to a cheaper price point. I do, however agree that being a part of a theme has its appeal. By way of illustration, the Mixer will probably do better eol now that the Ferris wheel has come out.

New Elementary posted a link on their facebook page to a huge update of new parts which were recently added to the Brickset database. This includes completely new elements, and existing elements in new colors.LINK: http://brickset.com/parts/new-03-06-2015I also did some analysis to see which parts are most interesting for fellow LEGO Architecture enthusiasts, especially folks like myself who enjoy the LEGO Architecture Studio set.I hope you find the new bricks interesting; I know I did. I'm especially interested in the new transparent plate with pin, which has a lot of potential uses.---tom

​Another X-Wing?!

Why are you worried? here's some comments made earlier about LEGO DELOREAN in that thread - ​ ​ Delorean is doing better than average at more than 2x MSRP on amazon and ebay 6 months post EOL. Delorean was discounted a long time and is cheaper. Both of these things lend it to being more hoarded. Ecto has never been discounted and costs more so might be less hoarded. I am expecting even better performance from ecto than the delorean. The day ECTO goes out of stock, the price on ebay will be $75 just to cover fees and shipping and will go up quickly from there. This set is targeted right at AFOL's with money. I don't expect this to go out of stock until December at the earliest and probably more like February based on Delorean longevity. But you never know....

10196 GC (no box. excellent used condition with manuals) for $1,450. Only held onto it for 13 months for a nice profit and best of all, had a chance to build / review it.

jeez. sauromosis beat me to it. at least i can list the sets with USD and CAD prices. ha Hoth Bricks has published the official set names of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens sets that are scheduled to be released on Force Friday, September 4th. We already knew the set numbers, the pricing, and number of pieces for the sets which came from BZPower but it’s nice to get confirmation of the set names now. Rey’s Speeder (75099) – 193 pieces $19.99 USD / $24.99 CAD First Order Snowspeeder (75100) – 444 pieces $39.99 USD / $49.99 CAD First Order Special Force TIE (75101) – 517 pieces $69.99 USD / $89.99 CAD Poe’s X-Wing Starfighter (75102) – 717 pieces $79.99 USD / $99.99 CAD First Order Transporter (75103) – 792 pieces $89.99 USD / $109.99 CAD Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle (75104) – 1004 pieces $119.99 USD / $149.99 CAD Millennium Falcon (75105) – 1332 pieces $149.99 USD / $179.99 CAD

​It comes free of charge with every new Exo Suit you buy.

June off to a good start, these are all used. 10144 Sandcrawler $150 4766 Harry Potter $130 3825/3832/3834 Spongebob lot $100

So, I went to return it at the Store, they wanted to credit me back only $68. The computer shows that I paid $320, but will only allow $68 credit. No wonder they are the richest family in the United States.

​not that we know of . when i saw that pic, i was hoping endor froze over.

Yup

​This is not realistic.

Fwiw I pulled two more from a pile of SW sets that I had forgotten about. A quick scan of sales prices on my phone and listed them last night at $220 + shipping. So far 1 has sold. At an $80 buy in I'm pleased with the return. This bickering above reminds me of the phrase "Pigs get slaughtered.".

I will tell you a secret. You can keep the bricks in the bag and just use the plate with the chip.

​that. i always list 1 at a time ONLY 1 LEFT is what sells it quite often

​And don´t advertise that you have 25 available!

​So yesterday buyers were willing to pay $250+ for it but today they will only pay $225. That is all free market magic and has nothing to do with impatient and panicking sellers fighting to see who can get the lowest price and sell theirs the fastest? If everyone left theirs at $250 or above today they wouldn't sell anymore because.... why exactly?

There was a Stephen Rockefeller post from January IIRC saying to dump them by May. That could well have been very good advice if there is mass panic and the hoarders unleash them on the market all at once. I still say, let the storm pass and keep one under the bed.

LEGO better makes UCS "A hundred ways to kill Jar Jar". Guaranteed flying off the shelves.

​If I were in Spain you would be right. I would be seriously worried about any set. But the german market still seems pretty healthy. So no sit-downs needed here.

​ Yep. Yesterday there was 1 MF under $250 on Ebay. Today there are 15+. Of course the lowballers will blame it on supply/demand...

And this, friends, is why I don't buy large sets from Wally World anymore.

arrow* will bring up arrow and arrows...you can also do 3068* to get all variations. Helpful if you know the part type (and it's fairly unique for decorations). Doesn't help much in the case of a 2x2 tile.

And don´t forget the helicopter!

​ Agreed. Just think. They've gone from a one piece radar dish to a several piece rectangular one.....that's like...........at LEAST 3 pieces right there.

This set is my biggest investment so far and I hope that it'll work out. If not I'll have to build chairs and tables with R2D2-LEGO modells I guess.

​ ​Valenciaeric, You start quoting yourself now? Reminds me of Paulie Gualtieri from the Soprano's

Majority of the Lego stores I've been to seem to tell us that whatever set we're looking at is "retiring soon" so there's something in place...

​Ya arrived with significant box creases but it was legit.

15 bucks maybe......20 tops.

78 pieces. Badder?

​You've put "the feds" and "mobsters" on the same level by calling them "competition". I'd call that judgment (and a bad one, but that is my opinion).

Well. Should have held mine a bit longer.

Finally got my two lots from shopgoodwill. The first one was a pleasant surprise. It was listed as 28lbs of lego bionicle and I won it for 100bux just on the chance there was more to it than that. Found a 90% black pearl with all the minis. A complete 3181 passenger jet and 3182 airport. Found much of the 4440 police station. My son will get the bear, and tons of other minis. The second was an 18lb lot that I could just see the corner of a green grocer. Got it for 200 plus shipping. Went through and pulled all the sand green pieces and they are all there. Gonna Start sorting and Inventory on it Tomorrow. Out of the two lots I probably have around 100 minifigures that I will be selling to make my money back, mostly being star wars and all. All in all a good score.
