I held back all of my storm trooper helmets last year and WOW... pushing 190. Feels like I'm back in 2010. Rarely is it the correct choice (mathematically) to hold a set that was already doing well. In this case it definitely was the right choice. There are definitely still winners out there, but its getting harder. For all the newbies out there. We are definitely in a different economic situation. There is still money to be made but you have to be smart with your choices. Be patient and mindful about the deals you are spending on and don't over extend yourself as we will not see similar returns as previous years. You don't want to put yourself in a fire sale position to cover your bills. Some things may be worth holding a few extra years, others may be worth dumping at cost to find better opportunities (things that perform better in a slow economy). There are a lot of "non retiring" large sets being sold off aggressively right now. If I had to guess they ARE NOT secret retirements. Most of this data is leaked and pretty well known at this point. I'd guess the stores have massive quantities of them and have more holiday shipments coming and clearing space. Some of my banned accounts are reactivated now (strange) and quantity limits are non existent. Stuffs about to get very cheap. Choose your path forward wisely. Hope everyone has a Happy Holidays.

Will wait for LEGO Shop at Home

You've got a few years yet on the big Razor Crest. I wouldn't wait on the smaller one, though.

Well that escalated quickly, looks gone from all the major retailers.

Isn't there an unwritten rule that would keep that taste out of your mouth?

Somebody spiked the punch. I’ve had this taste in my mouth before.

tell me more

These prices this early in the “Holiday” shopping season tell me things are not well in the retail world.

$40 from Honey on the USC Razorcrest as well right now. Just grabbed it for the 30% off, 2x vip, pirate GWP, and $40 honey.

He’s not wrong.

Hopefully they ship them protected with plastic film so that they don't arrive all scratched up. I am hearing $525 and 31 Minifigs.
