  1. If this is true I'm in for 75. This will be a sleeper flying under the radar. We've never seen anything like this. Mark my words. Hot cakes.

  3. Holiday Build No 2. Having seen Rogue One, there was no excuse to put off building this any longer. Just have to carefully apply the stickers.

  8. Anyway, just my two cents. Considering that 10179 was a poor seller for $500, if LEGO wants to make money, they would be stupid to just rehash it. If I were LEGO, I would just release a playful set for $300-400, with 10-15 minifigs and a detailed interior. If they are smart, they release EPVII and Han Solo movie expansion packs for it that are also good standalone sets. Going higher would not make sense because it would eat away space from the DS, and we don't have a large SW set in the $300-400 range with the Sandcrawler going away. It would be logical to fill that gap with a money maker. This would be a genuine cash cow, maybe with a top that can be removed as a lid, not like the ugly petal type method of the smaller MF versions. Therefore I would not bet against 10179. Quite the opposite, the release of a set like this would alleviate any concerns about a potential 10179 remake, giving hesitating people confidence to finally buy it, raising the price further.

  14. yup. i sold my 2 75054s because prices are getting bloated for a vehicle that has been remade many times. i saw nothing special about this set compared to my motprized 10178 and 8129. pic from eurobricks edited by me. note: 10178 isn't standing up straight so it appears shorter. link for more details = http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/search.cfm?searchterm=at-at&sort=set_pieces&order=desc here's more at-at comparison pics. see the pic above to know which at-at is which lego set. http://brickset.com/article/12296/review-75054-at-at

  16. Personally, I would be happy with a $1000 giant MF. You confuse my personal preferences with what I think would make the most money for LEGO. And 75105 MSRP was $150, a $400 set would not even compare to it. I think it is perfectly possible to make a compelling MF at that price. Look at the picture below. With a size between the two and with less greebling there is no need to have such a robust and expensive (in terms of piece count) internal structure as 10179 has, so actual interior can take place. It would be still large and detailed enough to be called UCS, with a similar difference in size as we see between UCS and regular Slave I, which is in my opinion one of the best UCS releases ever. Also, if you look at the tendency of the mega releases nowadays, all of them lean towards having play features while maintaining balance between AFOL and kid appeal. Disney Castle, GBHQ and Sandcrawler does that. I don't think the new MF will break this trend, and in that case it will probably be in line with what I described. I see pure display sets restricted to the $100-$250 range these days, simply because relying on hardcore AFOL demand seems to be not enough to make the most expensive offerings sell sufficiently well, especially that many AFOLs actually prefer playfulness maintained, since that is what LEGO means for many.

  17. A couple more holiday builds were finished up with the kids last night and after school today. My daughter finished up the Friends Amusement Park Space Ride 41128 to go with her Hot Dog Van. She's currently saving up for the Roller Coaster and Emma's House which she didn't get for Christmas (though there are several Emma's Houses in inventory). We also built another SW Mos Eisley Cantina 75052. My son sold his that we built last year for $85 before Christmas, but we had already picked up another complete used one for $45 on CL, so we built it again to re-add to the display case. Cool set...I am surprised it hasn't appreciated more than it has.

  19. you still are. Lego often uses faded / blacked out / blurry / translucent images of familiar items in the background of a box front to give the illusion of an action packed image, without accidentally tricking the customer into thinking a Millennium Falcon is contained within the box. If the Falcon was available today that image would still be blacked out. There is no correlation. on a side note, i found a view of the new Falcon interior. Looks "Retro", but i like it.

  25. I went into Best Buy a couple weeks ago based on a tip posted here by exciter1. After almost giving up, I spotted them: around 50 30277 First Order Star Destroyer polybags with a $1 shelf tag. I picked up 12 and excitedly marched to the register. They rang up as $9.99 each. I mentioned the $1 shelf tag, and the general manager and I went back to the polybags to inspect the shelf tag which she removed. She had to manually change each price. I thanked her and apologized for taking her time during a busy day. She acknowledged that this was a pricing error but had no problem honoring the $1 price. I was back there this week to see them marked at $9.99. Thanks exciter1, for the tip. This particular deal was a real rush!

  30. I agree. To an elite LEGO snob like myself, owning and keeping a MISB 10179 wasn't about making money from it. It was about owning it. It will always be special to me. Also considering it is a 35th Anniversary First Edition set, I think it is still a worthy collectible. That being said...If you have multiple 10179s as an investment, you might want to consider selling a few.

  34. I'm not gonna lie, my side hobby of collecting legos took a major hit when I was banned by Lego last year (I just started buying sets again this past holiday) I haven't been here much since I was banned, but I came here specifically to see if the raffle was being done again this year. Gave a little to help get the totals going and hope to give more, closer to the end. Nice work Mack brothers.
