Your lack of faith in the humble taun taun is gravely mistaken, as this video shows.

only took a pandemic... hard to believe its been 16 years.

Your name definitely checks out

This is the way.

In case you haven't found any discounted 41169 Olaf's at Walmart recently, Amazon has them for $7.99, a nearly 50% saving. Limit 3. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PZF1GQP/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&&linkCode=ll1&&language=en_US

some good info here...not saying the rep even knows for sure, but simply the fact "they" can decide to produce another batch so readily (I would have thought that manufacturing schedules were much more tighter and that LEGO couldn't realistically modify so quickly). Also the "SDCC" moniker is just a label to LEGO with no actual production requirements...clearly just a suggestion of scarcity and LEGO can abuse based on what perceived precedence they want to set. in short, LEGO just F'in w/ us...like always but this year it's just a bit more in-your-face

I received the 75192 Millennium Falcon I ordered from Harrod's last week. This is how big stuff should be shipped. The Lego shipper inside is immac ulate. And basically 30% off RRP after tax savings and cash back. This is packaging excellence.

So sorry about that! I didn't know or mean to. Won't happen again. Thanks for letting me know...I want to play well.

I agree, if its as detailed like the other sets at the price range, one might have a nice blacked out imperial office display.

Folks don't take too kindly to trying to embed your affiliate link within a forum post. Play well.

I'm actually looking forward to the Imperial Probe Droid. Hoping they do it justice. I don't think we've ever gotten one as a set in itself.

$10 off purchase of at least $100 at Amazon when you use your Discover points. Used mine for a Kylo Ren's Shuttle 75256 to build, $100 out the door.

waiting for GWP info before pulling trigger...

Thanks for the props, glad I can help. Lego Shop did the same thing to the Tree House & Taj Mahal. Both were showing "Sold Out" for a few days then switched to "Temporarily out of stock".

looks like they are allowing backorders now. btw, meant to give you some props. always appreciate your current stocking notifications. been helpful many times for myself.

Guys... if you plan on unloading some on Amazon....don't forget Amazon's new return policy this year: Anything delivered after 10/1 can be returned until 1/31/21. Extra month this year. 😬

Waited on the phone for about 30 mins, and the rep persuaded me not to cancel my order as this set won't be remade. She said the initial production that was slated for SDCC sold out quickly, so they decided to get the factory to produce one more batch. This second batch sold out and backorders will ship on 10/08/20. She said it won't be produced again. We all know to take that with a grain of salt. I decided not to cancel my order. I'm sure I'll break even at the very least and hope what she says is true. Might be more than a year hold. That's how long I held my Vader bust for before unloading for a nice profit.

Mercari is legit. Just kind of like the wild west of buying and selling. Same as nationwide Offerup. It is a great place to score valuable, underpriced LEGO sets, or at least it used to be. Buying got really competitive last year and you must be quick on the draw. Took to much babysitting, so I only go on from time to time anymore to buy. I've sold a few sets here and there. Had mostly good luck.

We’re on patrol!

Not a popular set...went to deep on that golden cow

i hold onto about a garbage bags worth. i will go through them on occasion to get rid of the ones that have deflated or were **** to begin with. i recycle them with other plastic bags at target or similar store that takes those types of plastic.

Chris McVeigh designed the set. From his interview: Q: What is your favorite element of this set? The reindeer, which is all-new with this set! I like to call her Brixen.

I've been selling on Amazon FBA for 6 years. I've never had a Lego set returned with missing pieces or any major refund/return issues with Lego sets. On the other hand......man am I getting sick of these thieves that order Marvel Legends figures, steal the build-a-figure piece, then return the item as "Not received by delivery date" or some other free return reason. I'd say i've probably had 30 or 40 returned Marvel Legends figures with no build-a-figure. When I looked up the one I received back today, the buyer has ordered 3 figures from me in the last year and refunded all 3 after removing the piece. I always open cases and report these buyers to seller support, but kinda makes me sad that people do stuff like this.

I apologize for being a bit over the top. But the thing is, Lego isn't here to cater to the secondary market. That's the thing with stuff like this, it's only worth that on paper, and someone who thinks that they have thousands in profit without actually selling it and putting it to hard cash, is playing with fire. That's the same with any investment. As with all things, something has a ceiling, and this set on top of many others, eventually top out. I still don't fully begrudge you guys making money, I've said that many times here, but I just don't feel bad because you've had plenty of opportunity to make a **** ton of money on these sets. I agree that if all they do from here on out is re-release sets, then yes, it will leave a sour note. But doing this to the ridiculous amount of new AFOLS that come to buy Lego over the last few years is not a big deal. Lego is a toy company first and foremost. It being a collectable is a natural outcome to it being such a desirable and well made toy. Don't lose site of that. It's only in the last few years, that the collectors market really exploded, but for decades, it was just a Toy like any other company. I buy expensive Lego because I love building the big sets and displaying them and showing them off to friends. I buy it because I find the value to be worth it in my eyes. I had no problem dropping $800 on the MF because I love Lego, I love building Lego, and it's what I enjoy. I don't drop even $5 on those Funko Pop things because I don't like them, nor do they hold any value in my eyes. (Again not just monetarily.) Everyone has different motivations on what's valuable/collectable to themselves.

I'm not abusing you guys. I'm just stating that Lego doesn't owe you any profit or to cater to your need to make money. Lego is a toy first and foremost. I follow several different sites for different takes and news on stuff. It's nice to follow this for particular information I find useful, and one of that is not how much I can potentially gain on a set. You guys might need to check your feelings a bit if someone like me doesn't fully agree with everything on here. You guys live in your own little bubble world out here, and miss that there are more people who buy Lego to play and enjoy than purely as an investment vehicle. That's the thing too though, if you treat it like an investment, you are going to get burned. Simple as that. It's like that with anything you treat as an investment. You win some you lose some. I've had many things that I spent a lot of money on, to only have it be worthless and it burned me. It happens. I've also had things that were little gold mines for me as well. For me, when I buy a product, I buy it for my enjoyment, whether it be movies, video games, what have you. Some of my prized possessions aren't worth a dime. Money isn't the only factor in something that I will spend my money on. I don't care how special it is to other people, because it's special to me, and that's all that really matters in the end. I'm not trying to start a fight, I'm just saying, that the investors prospective isn't the only one, and Lego I'm sure figures they will gain more catering to their bigger market, the non-investors like me out here. Yes, I will agree that it potentially having some value will get people to collect things, but that's not even remotely always the case. Some people collect bottle caps, are those worth much? Nope, so why do they do it then? For the love of something. For people like me, it's the love of Lego, not the value. I buy Lego even expensive Lego, because I personally get the value out of it. Not in monetary fashion. Sure some people might stop buying Lego because of this, but it's a revolving door. For every person that stops buying Lego, they could be bringing in one or more people new to the hobby and buying Lego. You might see it as a lazy move, and that's fine, nothing wrong with your opinion, but I would personally be worried if every single set in a year was a complete re-release. They still put out lots of original new sets every year, so I just think this screaming from the mountain tops that Lego is going to go belly up for a couple of re-makes a year is a little over the top.

I'm loving all this doom and gloom from you guys. As a strict builder only, secondary value is purely that, secondary. I don't really care what the value is, I love buying the sets and displaying them. The fact that you think Lego is magically going to go belly up just like that is so over the top. Like others have said, they are not here to protect your precious profits on sets. They are here to release toys to their fans. Of course they are wanting to get a chunk of the action, but so what. All sets eventually retire anyways, and they obviously can't remake every single set every single year. I'm fine with having an opportunity to buy a set that Lego stopped making years ago. I don't look at older sets and think, oh man it's so rare I have to have that...No, I look at a set, and think, damn I want to build that. There are plenty of retired sets that you couldn't give to me for free that I would want. And I've said this before, those that have been holding on perpetually, well I have ZERO sympathy for you. Greed bit you in the ass. There are things that I've collected over the years that have no value whatsoever because I loved the product, not because of some notion it will be worth money down the road. It just was a bonus on some stuff I've sold over the years that I was able to get my money back in a tight situation. But that is never my primary motivation for buying a set. And I can promise you, the vast majority of people who buy Lego don't immediately think, ohhhh, this will be worth money. No it's usually, oh look a really cool set that I would like to build and enjoy. I've been buying Lego for several years, and there are sets I had when I was a kid that I would love to have again. Even if I still had them, I would still love to have an updated model. It's always the minority that are the loudest, and quite frankly, I don't think Lego gives a crap what a few of you guys think about the perceived value. I remember as a kid, my mom got me the ISD for Christmas, and others as well over the years prior, and never once in my head did I think man, what is this going to be worth years from now. I still freaking have beanie babies for christs sake, and they are worthless. /rant

Crocodiles from John Lewis: I was quite pleased when they arrived in a sealed carton, but then I opened it..... I'm currently on hold for customer services as I'd like to see if they can offer any kind of discount as I intend to build one anyway. If I don't get at least 30% off, they're going back. There was only one layer of clear tape on the box, so they must have left Lego like this. I'd expect this from Argos, but not John Lewis. I'm now going to check all my sealed cartons at both ends, just in case.

Picture supposedly from the Lego Brand store in Mexico City. The person sharing the picture on Reddit says that they get new stock multiple times a week. The 899.99 price is approximately $40 Edit: Another shot, this one from from the Holocron Toy Store in Texas, selling for under RRP at $35.99
