that is the plan when the 3 GBH's i ordered get here. opened & built the 1 that i ordered during the double VIP. box was MINT - wife and daughters declared mutiny when I suggested we wait until the second batch arrive to open the most damaged box... Looks cool next to the walmart version of the real thing. down to the white baseplate.

After this years Winter Toy Shop fiasco, it wouldn't surprise me if TLG decided to make the GBH the newest addition to the winter village theme in 2016.

Sweet, sold 2 GH overnight on Amazon, each for $94 plus $5 shipping. $81 leftover after fees.

66 delivered so far over the past 3 days, most ordered at $30 and $27, a few at 45. Besides 2 for the kids, these are going to go into my Bricklink store. More on the way . . .

Oh yeah, well one time I got them for $3 each after BOGO, stacked with 20% off, TRUTH and Rewards dollars. So I pretty much can't be beat.

I have shut down the account and will wait to see if they contact me.

This has been mentioned before, but it's hard to see a Hoth set setting aside the pieces for an AT-AT. I think a Snowspeeder and/or AT-ST would be more likely. If it comes with a Hoth Shield Generator, that would only help the AT-AT's returns. Maximum Firepower, baby!

I didn't know any were "S" but keep the only difference is the instructions. If you move these posts to the chess set thread this weekend I will make up a 20% off entire TRU purchase With no lego exclusions that stacks with the $10 off $100 and TRUTH/S with a front and an expiration date of 12/31/15 and isn't limited to once per rewards account

OMG! I couldn't believe this. My 1st MK-II order from Amazon just marked SHIPPED! This gotta be the best deal ever in my entire Lego collecting career.

Maybe it's just me but there has to be a better picture... ah here it is:

From what I have observed over the past few years prices drop around this time as more sellers enter the market. Ebay traffic has continued its steady decline as purchasing habits evolve in the USA and ebay's continued problems with google search and lack of effective marketing and innovation are certainly not helping things. I don;t think GBHQ has a anything to do with the price action you are observing.

Yes if anyone was curious... Amazon is where the stupid money is. (as I like to tell people) For what ever reason people will pay a premium to shop on Amazon than deal with eBay. GBH is a (sorry) example.

Getting close to free LEGO sets from Shop at Home if your order was right around $100.

About the only thing I like about that set is Quicksilver. Can get Hulk in the better Hulkbuster set and then get Scarlet Witch as well. I don't have any of the new Avengers sets yet, but I'm leaning away from buying any for the long haul as I've been burned by re-issues of figures too much in that theme.

Police Station by Felix Greco

2 Creative Towers for $120 shipped on Ebay. Not great, but basically $30 for slapping a new label on the box.

MODs, we Should Temporary change this treads name to: "So, How Many Gingerbread House did you sell today and for how much?"

Ah, give it a shot! Here's a clip from my favorite episode. And it also gives the background on the weeping angel in the set.

I've stopped spending any time or energy trying to figure out what those colors mean. It has something to do with something happening behind the scenes at LEGO Shop at Home and that's where I'm stopping with it.

One way to deal with this: sell new, use part of the proceeds to buy used

Maybe next Christmas there will be some new super-cutesy Holiday set for everyone to drool over. Right now buyers are motivated by the hype and the panic, thinking it's going to get even more expensive if they don't. Act. Right. This. Second. That's what is driving the price higher and higher every single day. Once that wears off, logic and sanity will begin to seep back in to their brains and they will set a collective price limit they're willing to pay for a little 300 piece set. (I'll be honest I don't really know what's going to happen and I'm literally making this up as I type. Does it sound convincing?)

21304 Doctor Who at B&N for $43.80 by using my 10% off membership and 20% off coupon.

My remaining stash, having sold 9 so far, avg take home price of $67, but going up every time I sell one. Started selling them for $45 + shipping on the 22nd. Last couple were $94 + shipping, all on Amazon.

Who still has money left to seriously join the F5 games?

clearing $70 on a freebie within a few weeks must be some kinda record i just listed one a minute ago and its sold, damn!

Apparently Gingerbread House is now the best ROI set this year since JW GT.

Another 79111 Constitution Train for $110 shipped. 7 more left...

According to the German page the 76023 - Tumblr is also soon to be retired Tumblr Status

Micbelt provided this during the summer: 8/9 - #238533 Lego Super Heroes The Joker Bumper Car 10/25 - #372905 Lego Star Wars AT-DP 30274 11/1 - #306454 Lego Elves Azari Magic Fire 11/1 - #169326 Lego Star Wars Episode 7 CP3O <- How TRU has it 11/8 - #306446 Ninja Go Anacondrai Battle Mech 11/15 - #372913 Lego City Space Vehicle 11/29 - #372918 Lego City Demolition Driller 12/6 - #169132 Lego SH Avengers Hulk 12/13 - #168354 Lego SW Storm Trooper 12/20 - #372879 Lego Christmas Tree It's been accurate thus far. I'd guess you'll probably need to spend $30 from the Super Hero theme. Only speculating. Does the GC trick still work with TRUTH? It's been a while since I tried it.

While breezing through the German lego site, I saw two things that stuck out. The Death Star and the UCS X-wing both have a "retiring soon" tag next to them. http://shop.lego.com/en-DE/Red-Five-X-wing-Starfighter-10240

For modular, I think it is reaching a stage whereby collectors are more selective as most people do not have huge display shelves at home. There will be some modular there are more sought after, and factors such as rarity will come into play. The rarer a modular building is, the higher will be the demand. So I think the first few modular buildings will see the prices hold up well, and the recent ones will likely see a longer waiting period to make any money. The market will be self adjusting and once people notice that it is harder to make money off the newer modular sets, the demand will drop off naturally.

I think there is some modular fatigue as well. If you're coming out of the dark ages right now, you have like 4 current and one recent modular to start with, so I just think it will take progressively longer for each one to mature. Plus more resellers, etc, etc...

Here's an MOC of the Ponds with 11:

More than likely they'll be the May release. Usually minifigs are released January - May - September.

Done You smell sooo good. << how'd that get in there?

Done. I left 1 post on DD for reference there

That's the fun part of Lego. Well, besides the building...[emoji6]

I love it when my 8 year old daughter has finished her shower and is listening to Kids' Bop and my 6 year old daughter comes into the bathroom for her shower and asks to listen to Gorillaz instead.

I'm still waiting for ChristopherJB to post a picture of his magic sorting basket... I'd love to make one for myself.

Here is the uncropped version... Is the wrestler Adrian Adonis or Ultimate Warrior?

First time we've ever hit 100 orders in 24 hours. I'll try to grab a picture Monday before the mail pickup.

Truly amazing how little attention this is getting. The space station that cried wolf, indeed.

Maybe it is hard to believe. But even Exo had a limit. Eventually.

This thread is only for actual retirement. When it says "retired product". Outside of that it is speculation. Thank you for the update though.

Listed 7 this morning for $65, got in the shower, and all 7 had sold in under 10 minutes. Moral of the story? Don't shower (or at least take very quick showers).
