Most likely my last post on this thread. I sold my last 21104 for $800 FBM back in November 2021. This was by far the best investment I ever made. I would go as far as putting 21104 as the PERFECT set for investment. Everything about & around this set just worked beautifully to support it's aftermarket value. This was also 1 of a few sets that I endorsed for investment back in the day (the other ones cratered in value, which stopped me from blabbering my mouth ) Obviously I still have a lot to learn since I only sold 1 copy for $800. This was supposed to be my personal copy and/or an experiment to see how long it would take to 20x (my avg cost was $38). Over the years, the majority of my stash were sold at $400 price range. So 7 years to reach 20x, not bad Here is to the best set I ever own. I highly doubt there will be another one as good as 21104

Negative news is unfortunately the overwhelming majority but occasionally there are some feel good stories worth sharing.

In the middle of a major Hi-Fi upgrade so @fuzzy_brickswon’t be able to get on me about my old RadioShack receiver anymore. Started with the turntable and cartridge, also got that $400 record weight and some way overpriced cables (face palm emoji). Have 2 other major components on order from USA based companies that are waiting on overseas parts.

I will be buying the Winter Chalet for my personal collection, but I think that is it. The rest seem to expensive for what they are or to take a speculative gamble on. The diner that everyone else seems to want just doesn't look like a good value to me. The build doesn't look like 1300+ pieces, and that lettuce on the giant burger on the roof just looks horrible and kills it for me haha. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

My Star Wars Advent Calendars that I picked up on amazon right around Christmas and the beginning of January have started showing up. I had to keep approving their delayed shipment -- pretty much writing off that they would ever figure out that they are no longer being produced, but would keep extending it anyways. Well, lo and behold they've actually shipped them. Boxes are OK condition for the most part. Date codes are around summer of last year (not a new run). Maybe they were returns that they had been accumulating on a palette until ready to fulfill these orders. Definitely not FBA since they are missing any additional stickers. Regardless, no complaints.

I think you might have missed the essence of the joke ....

Smooshing/Smooching, what's the difference?

It lacks a giant circle that can transport you between planets
