A typical day on BP 2015: superlegofanresseler3476: EV is crap. Ewoks were to the OT as what Jar Jar was to the prequels. Nobody likes them. And who wants a set that's nothing but a bunch of trees? Really LEGO? Trees?! Plus, if you check the stock tracker in Europe you'll see that they have plenty on hand. Probably enough to last 12 months at least. I've been tracking the sales of this one along with a dozen other sets every day and I can tell you that EV is the worst selling exclusive released since 2013 with more than 1,750 elements and less than 18 minifigures. Total crap. I've also been watching Amazon and this is never selling for more than $290 Prime so if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know than I don't know what you're doing in this game. I'm not getting any of these for my own collection or to flip. There are so many other better sets to put my money in right now. superlegofanresseler3476: OMG!!!1!!1!! It's gone?! Damn, I'm going to take the day off work today and hit all the LEGO stores I can. I've got two in my state plus the neighboring states, hopefully I can pick up about 23 by the time the day is over. I'm going to bring my nephew and his friend along. They'll do anything for Hot Dog On A Stick. Anyway, I love this set and it's going to be huge this Christmas. You all know The Force Awakens is coming out, right? It doesn't get any bigger than that. This is like the perfect storm of LEGO flipping. Where's George Clooney? Oh but just in case I'm not able to get any, if anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it. I really need to have one for sure, I can't wait to have this displayed with my Sideshow Scout Trooper.

My cousin sent me a few items from Star Wars Celebration. The posters are fantastic.

This should also be posted in the "why buy cheap sets" forum. These were $27 for the longest time...

DCPI codes… for those that prefer the lazy and efficient route of lego hunting. 204-00-1508 - Mummy Museum Mystery 75900 204-00-1509 - Scooby Doo Mystery Plane Adventures 75901 204-00-1510 - Scooby Doo Mystery Machine 75902 204-00-1511 - Scooby Doo Haunted Lighthouse 75903 204-00-1512 - Scooby Doo Mystery Mansion 75904

Based on one of the most iconic vehicles in animated history is a well priced set at $29.99 to include a total of 301 pieces, a cast of four minifigures between Shaggy, his faithful companion Scooby-Doo, exclusive (at the moment) Fred, and the witch's zombie aka Zeke from episode thirteen "Which Witch is Which?". Obviously for any fan of the classic series, this is a 'must have'. I know for me it is.

Finally to round up this first wave of sets, here at the price of $89.99 includes 860 pieces and a whopping seven minifigures between exclusive Velma followed by Daphne, Shaggy, Scooby, and three crooked criminals to catch with the Black Knight aka Mr. Wickles from the very first memorable episode that started it all "What a Night for a Knight", the Ghost aka Bluestone the Great from the first season's third episode "Hassle in the Castle", and then the Vampire aka "Big Bob" Oakley from season one's eleventh episode "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts". The mansion itself is a mix of different locales one of which could be the haunted mansion in the opening credits for the original show and a greenhouse section I can recall from an episode yet cannot remember the title of it for the life of me (and so far Google isn't helping any). Anyway although the manor is not specific to any one case from the series, the overall appearance and inclusion of so many main characters plus classic crooks all from the original first season make this the other 'must buy' along with The Mystery Machine I think.

I too bought a Jokerland today. $70 out the door after the 25% off coupon, 10% TRUTH, and 20% off GCs.

Mid-Twenty-First Century California House by Michael Labelle

Remember when some people thought this set would somehow devalue the Haunted House? Granted I think that was before it was revealed, but still...

Yeah... this is one example of a small set that is a giant success. I knew it would become a success but only bought two cause I thought I had still time to buy these. They disappeared almost overnight.

So back from my Smyths trek and talk about random as hell, so I visited like 5 Smyths and this is what I ended up with: 5 x Lonely Mountains £50 each 5 x Phoenix Temples £50 each 2 x Chima Ice Mammoths £30 each 9 x Movie melting rooms £5 each 14 x Hobbit Witch king battle £5 each (funnily enough another person maybe one of u? had a trolley full of these must of had like 30) 4 x Bennys spaceship £50 each 3 x Movie dropships £30 each and last but not least, I was totally amazed to see 6 Movie Castle cavalry (was never interested in this set but not seen them anywhere for the last 6 months) for £10 each! Talk about random. I passed on a load of Ultra Agents stuff at half off, a load of misc Chima stuff at half off and a couple of the mid sized Hobbit sets at half off again. So a good afternoon trip out, and as I expected the are just emptying all there old stock into random stores. So again if you have time it's worth a visit but be quick this stuff is going to go fast!

I guess it depends. For me it's 1. Slave I 2. X-Wing 3. Tumbler Also because personally I don't like the tumbler :-P I wouldn't want to have it on display instead of one of the other two... actually I don't want to have it on display at all :-P (maybe if Emazer or somebody else here wanted to give me one for free under the condition that I don't sell it but build and display it I would though... actually I really would be interested in building it ^.^ but that's all). The minifigs are nice, even though batman isn't anything special anymore. The Joker minifig is overrated but will probably stay overrated so that alone might be a pusher! (So that's a wildcard if you ask me!) But there have been so many batmobiles already and the tumbler is only one of them. Next movie there will be another one. And in the computer games there already are other ones... so I don't think it will stay as iconic as the X-Wing or Slave I for example. So the Joker minifigs is the biggest PLUS the set has going for it and if it wouldn't be included I wouldn't have any doubts about the superiority of X-Wing and Slave I.

I can see MOCers wanting multiples of the mansion set. I think it lends itself well to expansion. Ok, who am I kidding. I'm buying two for myse... my daughter. We'll see what we can create.

Picked up some take-out tonight. They are already running some kind of cross-promotion with restaurants...

Retailing for $49.99 is a set comprised of 437 pieces and five minifigures including Scooby, Shaggy (exclusive seaweed torso print), fashionable Daphne, and the two criminals of the Lighthouse Keeper aka Verona Dempsey from the third episode in the third season of What's New, Scooby Doo? titled "Fright House of a Lighthouse" and the Swamp Monster aka Mr. Brown (as per the official LEGO site). This is the first set to have two separate cases come together in one setup. It does work well and I'm sure kids will have fun making up their own stories. To note there was an older episode involving a lighthouse keeper character in the Scooby-Doo/Richie Rich Show on the very first episode "Lighthouse Keeper Scooby" who actually was a real ghost and had little to do with the criminal here based on the latter episode aside from the basic design and idea. As for the other, there is no "Mr. Brown" character in the encyclopedia of crooks (that I can find) and the closest to any sort of Swamp Monster was in episode nine "Soggy Bog Scooby" of the first season for the Scooby-Doo/Richie Rich Show which just like the former lighthouse keeper was an actual monster. There was a Sea Demon in The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries which in appearance at least looks very much like LEGO's Swamp Monster but that costume was worn by two thieves neither with the last name of "Brown".

A little while back Brickset posted this inventory data for the EU. We weren't sure what would happen with it, so we wanted to wait a while before posting up any page that included this info. It's been a while and they are still posting it on their site, so we are going to make it available here as well. I am working on new a new price guide template and this information will be included there as well. I will be adding the charts to it soon as well. These pages allow you to easily see the themes as a group. You will also be able to see the number of sales for the prior day and the percentage of inventory sold. http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/eu-inventory.cfm

wanted ad function is on the very top, next to trade .

I'd second grabbing both if it's not an issue of capital. However, if you can only grab one, consider holding time. I would expect, as I think others here do as well, that the Tower Bridge is in a different 'class' of building set, up there with Eiffle, Taj, Statue of Liberty. It may take longer, but I think the Tower Bridge will ultimately plateau at a higher price than ToO, but might take longer to reach that plateau than ToO might take to top out. All that said, ToO is by far the more interesting build. Lots of repetition on the TB, only a bit of repitition on ToO, with lots of neat 'advanced' techniques. My approach to this has been developing and I've discovered I personally like to invest in sets which I want to own/want to display. Both these sets fit that bill, however I've only got the ToO out in a cabinet. All this from a novice investor, so take with a couple large grains of salt! Just my 2 cents on these sets, betting there's lots of other takes on it.

If the box is indeed factory sealed, you should get three of each minifigure bare minimum. Lately for the few past series, the ratio has been seven characters at 3 each, six characters at 4 each, and three characters at 5 each for a final total of 60 altogether.

i thought $15off$100 expired as of the 18th

I got lucky Since my tru got a fresh shipment of mystery machines and jokerlands in so I got one jokerland, mystery machine, and a mystery plane since next months coupon isn't as good

Ewoks just got a lot more popular!

"Who wanta some Wang?"

Glad to see you here.

No it's not like that at all (your logic is flawed)... Saying the Batmobile is just another "car" would be like saying "Slave I is just another starship". If Starwars would bring out new Slave I starships with every star wars movie and LEGO would build new Slave I starships every now and then, who are differently enough (as are the batmobiles) then we would have an equal situation. http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/brush-up-on-your-bat-history-with-cbrs-batmobile-infographic-set Here you can see quite some batmobiles. The Tumbler might be "unique" but the batmobile as such is not. It's just another gadget for Batman, it doesn't matter how it looks like. Only because the dark knight triology has been a huge success and one of the more recent batman movies the tumbler is such a big deal. Long term Slave I will stay Slave I. THE STARSHIP of Boba Fett. If you wanna get Boba Fetts starship, that's what you'll get. The other question would be: Will they re-release an even better version of Slave I with the ongoing popularity of SW eventually? Don't see it coming for the next 10 years since they have enough going on right now. So there won't be another Version of the Tumbler at least, that's something. But maybe there's a good reason that there won't.

Since we (still) don't have a dedicated Simpson's forum ... anyone notice that Kwik-E-Mart is a "Walmart exclusive" at least according to walmart? http://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-The-Simpsons-The-Kwik-E-Mart/42104282 It's going to be tough to get these with mint boxes.

I get your point, but the Tumbler is not just another Batmobile. That's like saying the Slave 1 is just another starship.

Maybe you are right. I am just seeing more and more sets coming available and not so many disappearing. Maybe it is just me. I am seeing it wrong. But for sure it is very busy on the lego aisles.

All this I can perfectly aline with my previous statement. That either nothing will retire for the coming period or suddenly many sets will retire at once. Due to Lego not being able to keep up with demand. Thus forcing them making decisions on sets to retire. Maybe even unexpected early retirements. Who knows? From what I've heared since last year is that Lego is having production issues. The hoard is not making it any easier for Lego to make plans when they jump on every sold out or OoS sets. Also the run on the JW sets lately is making things more complicated.

I think I understand what you mean... and it makes sense. My understanding: Lego is are very busy at the moment producing batches of the current sets so they will last until Xmas at the least. So when all stock levels are in the green they can focus mainly on the new Ep.7 Star Wars sets which will be the flagship for the coming holidays. Except maybe for some unexpected shortages. They want to avoid situations like last Xmas where shops were totally depleted from Lego. They need to keep the retailers happy. Cause this situation was very bad for Lego. You forgot to add: "SO Check back soon, just finished chatting to the lecturers and had to write it down before I forgot ".

Not really sure what point you're trying to make there. I think you need some punctuation for it to make more sense, (not having a go, just trying to work out what you mean). Oh and going to lecturers for real life business advice, hah

Wow, It's the first time in a while I had to scroll down a couple of pages to find this thread...

I like the tractor.

The Catwoman has a whip? ....Kinky. If I wasn't a completest before, this series would have certainly changed that. Man they all are so good! Now comes a dilemma....how much of this series does my mother want for her own collection? Probably all of them too same as me. Ha. Anyway, an entire series of costumed characters is a winner. Holy smokes. Exactly what I thought he would be; a zombified version of the Series 1 Skateboarder. Not bad and I will get the book when that becomes available. Yes.

How do I do that.. I have no clue I have attached pics from listing

" Seller : xxxxxx (1) , 100.0% Positive Feedback, Member since Jul-24-15 " This reads stay away. And the old traveling on business is another 'do not buy from me' warning If you choose to continue with this 'deal' get ready for the endless delays on emails / custom delays / out of office messages... etc.

Did you have to blow into the little slot before putting the game in? Always worked for me.

We've seen most of these already, but this appears to be the official checklist.

Golden Cup Grand Hotel by Jorge Barros

Since we don't have a Simpsons forum, thought I'd post it here.. http://metro.co.uk/2015/07/23/someone-has-recreated-the-entire-town-of-springfield-in-lego-form-and-its-amazing-5308615/ Pretty cool.. I like the nuclear plant myself!

I have several sets in their boxes and ready to go. I bought them for my son and I to build. I wish I had your fortitude to wait and wait, but I just have always wanted some of these sets and can't wait to enjoy the fun of building them with my son! I would rather live and enjoy the ride than miss that memory I guess. I will take the hit on the value. Of course, I will use all your knowledge and preserve all that I can (bags, boxes, spare parts, etc) in the meticulous manner you have suggested. I am OCD so that is not a problem! Thanks for the advice and post! P.S. I always download copies of the instructions from Lego and use color prints of those to build so the originals stay original. I then seal the originals in vacuum bags for preservation. Just a thought.

I do...I think we'll be outta room come September...And @ $49.00 I find this very attractive...
