This is the cream of the collection. The smaller stuff comes later.

I stole them for my listings.

I can't wait for that Worris' Fire Bike, built-once, missing 2 pieces....

The pictures are top notch though. That has to account for something.

75522 - Mini Boost Droid Commander polybag $49.99 on Bricklink Lego ran out of free Valentine's Bee Brickheadz during the triple promo (Bee, Year of the Pig, Juice Bar) and offered me that as an alternative when I messaged them about the bee missing. A victory, no doubt, trading up 10x versus the $5 Brickheadz

To nuture this thread a little bit: https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-end-of-life-2019/ I guess most is accurate but some sets are missing for sure on the list and I guess some sets listed there will not go EOL, but thats open for discussion.

Duplo My First Farm 10617 $90 FBA $9.99 target clearance

It's nice for what it is, but trees are the Christmas/Winter version of City helicopters.

I'd be careful putting too much faith in that list. There is definitely a lot on there that is retiring this year, but there are plenty that are not scheduled to go.

supposedly no new shipments until mid to late oct

they sell pretty much instantly @ $250 fba. not quite as good as 5x msrp $100 research institutes which were moving like hotcakes the weekend after the NYTimes 2014 cover story but still easy money that may or may not dry up. only the uber-friends fans are out to get these now but if the big bang theory can make it to $148, wtf knows how high friends gets once its Nov-Dec and people want what they can't have/or find. PIVOT! someone's gotta big dream pricing at $399. roll the dice and hope no mid-october-november wide retail release.

wow, at least you get free shipping

ship em over then

Haha Think Someone is bored and waisting time! Would it really be that hard to look on established sites like eBay if you know the set number and name. really not that hard to find out what something is worth instead on searching out a lego resale site and making a new account and post. I understand if someone just post a pic and ask but to list number and name of set? Come on! Thanks I got a chuckle out of it

I was eating when I real that

Local Facebook marketplace is the route to go with sets like these. Cash sale, buyer picks up, and no selling fees.

Ninjago City and docks 20% off at $240 and $184 respectively right now Amazon and Walmart

Hello, I honestly don't think these are worthy or reselling. You might get a few dollars for either.

Imho we do not know anything about TLG's strategy.

My wife and I watched a performance of Elton John's farewell tour. That was solid.

looks horrific.

I once new a man who owned a used car lot. One day he arrived onsite to open the lot and discovered that one of his cars had been stolen during the night. He was enraged, depressed, and scared. Later that morning his mentor arrived onsite and I overheard their conversation. The mentor said "Relax....your lost your first car. And I guarantee you it won't be your last stolen car. Risk is part of the business. Don't take it personally. Keep emotion out of it. Work hard to minimize risk and get better." I try to remember that advice. Ebay is my strongest and best retail market. Humans make mistakes and eventually I'll make a mistake and so will my buyers. I recently shipped two sets to a buyer who claimed there was only one set in the box when it arrived. I knew for certain I shipped both boxes so I assume a theft at the doorstep, Fedex or the Fedex Drop-off location (Walgreens). I forced myself to stay calm and I explained the above to the buyer. I asked for pics of the box and packing material, explaining that I was going to open a Fedex claim. I told the buyer I was sorry - he paid for two sets and only got one, and I offered to refund him for the missing set. (one set was about 15" long and the other was 10" long - both good size). About 2 hours later the buyer emailed me. They were at the hospital. The package was a gift. When the kid opened the box and saw the big set he got so excited, he left the other set in the shipping box wrapped in paper, set it aside and never noticed the 2nd set which was under the bed. So they found the missing set and everything was fine. This type of thing has happened to me before because I wrap things very well.

The moment when you finalize a set of 7 BL orders to complete your project ...... and a few minutes later pull out a bag with an eBay purchase that contains most of the parts you just ordered ... *facepalm*

And it will be crowded AF for a long time:
