Just think of all those poor resellers who can´t use TRU car parks to sell anymore!

So it’s more “sour grapes” to others competitive advantages than the market itself. Got it.

Rian Johnson dropped the ball on treatments of new characters from TFA. Both Finn and Poe were potrayed as incompetent males and Kylo was a weak bad guy. What little boys want to play with those kind of characters???

I was talkibg long term. Any time can make money when it is in high demand and short supply .

Why does he need 20 mins to do the review? Does the new youtube require you to make content that is painfully long in order to be pushed up the search rankings? I can't watch or listen for that long ... yeesh.

We know LEGO as a whole has been struggling. Overpriced, overproduced, and a lot of uninspired designs. It's not an issue unique to the SW theme other than price point being especially problematic for licensed themes. So I'd pin the blame first on LEGO treating their IP like a commodity rather than a collectible. If box office success was a primary driver of the LEGO market, stores wouldn't be able to keep Black Panther sets in stock let alone have to offer discounts.

Looking back at my sales data, in 2016, AT-AT was definitely the star of that group for me with a gross profit margin of 220%. ISD and Ghost were both in the 110% range, but I sold the Ghosts early. Since that round of retirements, in 2017, my highest margin SW sets were Imperial Troop Transport (121%), Hailfire Droid (102%), and Jango Fett buildable (126%). However, in the year before I sold that round of retirements (2015), my highest margin SW sets were AT-RT (147%), AT-TE (110%), and Mandalorian Speeder (100%). Over each of those years, the remainder of my SW sets had margins in the 75%-99% range. From my perspective, AT-AT was an outlier in terms of performance, which is understandable given its iconic status. Also, I can see TFA have any noticeable impact on the SW market, at least through FBA. Obviously, a lot of that has to do with the sets that I stocked so it may have looked different if you were loading up on completely different sets.

Yes, the seals definitely start falling off after a few years. I have run out of space to display LEGO sets. Shame really. There are many I would like to build.

You´re lucky to only have 2! I am putting expiry dates on my sets now to move them on if they are not appreciating - you end up with seals coming off due to age and the ever present risk of the re-release otherwise.

Jump to minute 4 if you want to see how motorisable (or not) it is.

That was a heck of a deal.

FYI: LEGO Shop at Home US/CAN displaying as "SOLD OUT". Time to load up? ?

Learning when to cut your losses and adapt is one of the most valuable skills as a business person. I started buying up Legos 4 years ago. Slowly accumulating stock. Some winners and losers. I was selling the big winners, super happy with myself. Two years ago I snapped. I couldn't access any of my stuff (too full, lack of profits w.e) I went on a spree selling 85% of what I had. Including TB, VW, TOO, DS.. It ended up being the best decision of my business career. The number of options I had to invest was incredible. Amazon saw my sales volume and gave me access to a lot more opportunities... The more opportunities you have, the more failures you'll have. Handle those with grace and you'll continue to succeed.

I’d go all in on Yoda’s ship if I wasnt using all my GE coupons on Iron Golems. You can quote me on that next year [emoji6]

Speak for yourself bud...I ALWAYS pick winners and that is absolutely true as long as you adopt a very loose definition of winner as evidenced by my stack of Harley Quinn To The Rescue. Sent from my SM-G965U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

I guess they mean the mix to be the same ratio as sugar and fruit in Fanta.
