  1. STAR WARS sets are far less risky than any Super Hero set, this side of The Tumbler. For the most part, the most valuable STAR WARS sets are based on vehicles, while successful Super Hero sets (with exception of Tumbler) are valuable because of their figures. Maybe you should build a few and you will see the difference. As for my completely incorrect logic...You think you have this all figured out, but you really have no clue. You think you are Spock, only dealing with logic and numbers. LEGO is more than logic. It is a passion and creative force unlike any Amiibo, baseball card or Beanie Baby. It's sad that I cannot teach you these things. You either get it or you don't. You can make money off of logic, but when push comes to shove, the person who "gets it" will have a distinct advantage over those who don't. This applies to any collectible or item that is resold. I have seen people like you on this forum before and you treat it as a commodity, with really no respect for the product itself. Next year, you will be on the next forum, discussing the next hot trends in collectibles, but never really appreciating the collectible being discussed. Until you accept the fact that emotion plays a huge part in the LEGO world, you will never truly understand the opinions of many on this site.

  2. Finally feel like I got a sweet deal...Got the Empire State Building for $10, which took me 10 mins to build and now joins his friends in the office. Then as we're arranging a place to meet up (did this deal via letgo) I asked if she had any other sets, so she said she had 2 more. Only one worth discussing. 4954 Creator Townhouse. Got that used/complete/no box for $40. $50 total and I am a happy camper. Can't wait to build that townhouse.

  4. That's why I operate my own in-house LEGO store where my kids can buy their favorite sets (prepopulated based on catalog reviews, wishlists and store visits) at discount prices.

  20. I actually just finished building a bricklinked 10179 in Bley with some black accents. I didn't just go for bley because new bley parts are more available, I wanted to also stock up on bley to build more star ships, etc. once I take the 10179 apart. The entire inside of the ship uses wahtever bricks I had in any color. It's not as if the lego designers made the perfect pick for every bit on the real ship - so why should I. Having a good looking ship IMO is more important than having the exact parts, since I am not planning to sell or collect this. I already had about 15% of the bricks, bought another 80% new, and about 5% used parts on bricklink and the Lego store. In Europe the total cost ended up being about 900 Euros. Here is a pic: ]

  28. UCS Slave 1. I'm 41. I was all G.I Joe and Transformers when I was a kid. The funny thing is I'm going to pick up all my old toys from my parents basement this weekend and I'm going to sell them to pay for my newly acquired Lego habit. I figure there's no better time to sell that GI Joe and Transformer stuff, I know guys in their 40s will buy stuff like that, but I can't see guys in their 50s or 60s buying a bunch of old toys. I have a ton of figures and a lot of the bigger vehicles. I used all my allowance and every other penny I earned doing odd jobs on smaller vehicles and Transformers and then all I asked for for birthdays and Xmas from 6 years was the planes and bases, etc. Unfortunately my parents weren't nuts, so the aircraft carrier isn't one of them.

  35. I believe that is the closest comparison. Included in the box (not separate) and found in every store selling the video game (not limited to a single chain). Exclusive minifigure not found in any sets. The difference is that Finn is only found in the Deluxe Edition of the game for PS4 and XBOX One. Iron Patriot was in every version of Marvel SH for all platforms.

  37. I'll be sure to post pictures when I crack open my Maersk Train and SSD this fall. I always planned on building the SSD from sealed box and my partner convinced me that the Maersk train would look great in our new city. What fun is LEGO investing if you can't indulge every once in a while? I've got quite a few others that were acquired for more than MSRP or have yet to be built and have since retired... No worries, they'll be built too! What's the point? Just slice open those boxes and build them! You won't regret it!

  39. I know a few people have said that they weren’t particularly happy with the build or the finished article, but I actually quite like it. 50/50 on keep or sell right now. I only picked up 5 Ghost/phantom/Ezra’s bike combo’s, but as they’re already selling for 2.5 times what I paid. Sad I didn’t pick up more.

  42. I've just finished building the SC tonight and I have to say this is one impressive set!! The detail of the model is unbelievable, hats of to the designer!! IMO it's well worth the USC badge. I also built the EV village a few weeks back, and again IMO a very impressive set, great detail and a very enjoyable build. For investment purposes I definitely thinking about picking up one of each for the vault, after building them both and seeing them on display and can't believe any future investor won't want these in their collection after they retire.

  43. Palace Cinema...with some personal modifications. I have always admired the aesthetic style of this theatre and was happy to finally have a used one cross my path to build. The build was overall an enjoyable experience. The interior is not the most detailed of the modulars, but the exterior makes up for it in spades. Book 3 was very enjoyable to see how the roof, marque, and most impressively, the Palace sign come together. I enjoyed adding my little touches although I funged up the Shawshank poster. It adds charm though! I still may create stadium-style seating in the theatre, but for now I have a bank to build!

  45. I like the 4483 compared to the new one because I prefer the old colors and some of the paneling. The new minifigures are better and the new head design is a LOT better. I haven't built the motorized one Ex Astris, Scientia. All prices in US funds.

  47. Take your own picture - you don't want a return because item isn't as advertised. Enjoy building it, there is value in that If you build it - you can specify that a couple of pieces are missing - it won't really impact the price too much if they are cheap. Also, you don't have to disassemble it but your buyer will be happy if they can build it themselves (I separate pieces within reason unless it sells before I have time)
