  1. It's just an OK set. The driving force for this set is Wonder Woman. Rather invest in the Batman, Aquaman, and Mr Freeze then this one. Having a couple won't hurt but not all that in my opinion. $10-$12 after tax is good price but no more then that. Don't see it hitting $60 for a very long time. Batman, Aquaman, and Mr Freeze on the other hand are much better Minifigs for a $20 set. Should way surpass Armor Lex. Driving force for the Wolverine set is Wolverine + Bike and Deadpool. Why???? Because those Minifigs are sooooo damn cool!!!!! Hands down!!! Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker
  2. I think more people can relate to the GE over Sopwith. Men, Women, children love modulars, and you need it if you are late in the game and trying to complete your city. So my opinion GE will have a BIG edge overall in growth. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker
  3. I agree with He-Man. That would bring back some good memories. The 2 Themes I would Love to see: 1) The Terminator Movie- Who wouldn't want a Terminator Minifig. His enemy: Liquid Metal, shapeshifting T-1000 Minifig, and a Sarah Connor Minifig. 2) Voltron- Buy each of the 5 Lions and Combine them to make Voltron. AWESOME!!!! LEGO...JUST TAKE MY $$$, WHILE IM TRYING TO MAKE SOME $$$$. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker
  4. It's not going to effect the price. Just got confirmation on the news that Walmart will not honor those super discount prices. They will refund the full amount and send the customers that did buy something at those prices an online $10 gift card. Just heard it on the news.
  5. Hair dryer and a nice sharp razor blade works very well for me. Comes off like butta!!!
  6. This happens at Toys R Us and at the Lego store itself. I returned a set at the Lego Store and they opened it with a Razor Blade and checked the bags in the box to make sure it wasn't tampered and Minifigs are still there. So yes they do do this and put it back on the shelf for the next person to buy.
  7. I would of bought it at $30 even if the box is crushed. thats a great deal. You don't have to part it now. When the set retires even parted sets can go up. This is what I do when I made a bad investment in a set that's not appreciating because sometimes you can't sell a set brand new for what you bought for due to eBay fees and shipping cost. So parting it out, getting your money back to reinvest in a better winner is something an option an investor has. Always keep in mind the fees, shipping, and packing supplies so you can be on the positive. Sometimes it will sit but be patient eventually it will sell.
  8. I opened a bunch of Star Wars Sets in 2007 and I was sooooooooo MAD!!!! Every single one of them where missing the 10,000 Limited Edition Gold C3-PO Minifig. Maybe I should call TLG and tell them....or write a hand written letter like Artisan. What's crazy I still have some 2007 sets that are sealed new. Could one of them have the C3-PO Minifig??? Hmmmmmm!!!
  9. Oh ok. Hopefully they sell out soon
  10. No Longer sold on Amazon through Amazon. Will they restock?
  11. I always said The Terminator would be cool. And an all silver bad guy chasing him. A Yakuza would be bad butt. A Street Fighter Minifig line would be sooooo awesome. Imagine a Blanka the size of the Hulk and you can fold him into a ball and roll him. WOW!!!
  12. A second that. And a Bruce Lee so they can rumble.
  13. Went to a Kmart and got 4 SW Homing spider droid set 75016 for $15 with tax. Not crazy about this set but ill take it. Also went to another Kmart and got 38 Friends polybags Olivia's Desk for $1.75 each. Not bad. That's an easy double or triple up. All in the L.A area.
  14. Thanks just got one and got super lucky. I've been keeping my eyes open for this set every time I go to Target in the Los Angeles Area.
  15. LOVE the color. Olive green goes well with the blue. And I'm a big big fan of tile floors. Wish it was retiring soon already. :)
  16. I feel like I know people in high places. Lol
  17. They might be MILLIONAIRES!!! Not sure. Lol
  18. Amazon no longer has available. Only 3rd party sellers. What do you fellow Brickpickers feel?
  19. Shelf life for battle packs is usually 2 years. Maybe they might be extending this battle pack is due to the Ewok Village release. maybe extending a little longer. Really don't know why they would take retiring soon off.
  20. I think the MF Zombie set goes so well in front of the MF Haunted House or MF Vamps Castle!!! Does anyone agree?
  21. Anything can be done. As long as you have a will and a vision and its all written down. This is just like the Stock Market. You can invest in great sets, good sets, or losers. All up to you to pick the winners and how you invest your money. But like anything else...it takes money to make money. If you have less money or time, it will take you longer then someone with more money to invest with more time. We all know there is good money to be made in LEGO investing or else we wouldn't have forums or blogs about it. There is hard facts and evidence that there is lots of money to be made LEGO investing. The amount is up to each individual and how far they want to go. Some are investing to offset their addiction, some are small time, some are big time. Some might already be Rich and doing it for fun to get extra money. Could be the thrill rather then the money for some. But one thing we all share is we Love those Minifigs and those plastic bricks. I'm sure everyone here at one time or another could have easily bought and stocked up on that ZOMBIE set. If not, then you are fairly new to the game, but you will miss a boat here and there. Opportunity calls...sleeper sets arise...are you good enough to see it???? Hmmmmm did I say this is like the stock market???? Can You Pick them my fellow loyal Brickpickers??? If you can...you have a talent and heck yes you can be a millionaire.
  22. Welcome to the site. Best site ever for LEGO info and investing and even discounts. Ask lots of questions because these guys are here are professionals. The Big Mack Brothers have done an outstanding job with this site and to this day I thank them for inspiring my wealth. Again Thank You So much for all you have done for us Big Mack Brothers!!!
  23. Good point Cele...but Amazon has a Boatload of these Dolphin Cruiser. I saw it last week on Amazon for $55.00 for like 2 days then it went back up. Did anyone else see this? They had a bunch of Friends line sets for real good discounts but now it's creeping back up to the price they usually sell for.
  24. Also got lucky last week with LOTR Pirate ship Ambush. Had it on the shelf for $99.99 but scanned it and it came out to $29.99. You should of seen my eyes when I looked at my wife. She knew that look and she asked how much and I said "$29 BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!" 8-). Lol
  25. Got 4 Minecraft the Village. 2 under my account and 2 under my friends account. And stocked up on Friends Olivia Beach Buggy. Bought 30 of those Beach Buggys.
