Lately Im not sure the trains are doing as well as they used to. Too many folks are buying them for reselling and it appear that the new trains really are cutting into the older train prices. 7939 is not really doing too well, nor is #3677 in the aftermarket. That said, You cannot go wrong with a passenger train if it…

    Unveiled? A video of the UCS B-Wing was released today @Pitfall69.With UCS B-Wing now unveiled, anyone think given its size, it will replace UCS IS? I would think that's the idea, yes. Yes, IS is probably on it's way out the door.Weird. King's Castle is available from Amazon as a gold box deal for $95. I immediately went…

    Technic sets are doing extremely well here in The Netherlands. I sold all my 8043 and 8258 this christmas for 110% profit. I decided to invest in the Unimog now, i managed to buy 8 of them for only 95 euro (129$) each. @ Stevenmack I think the first Minecraft set will do good, i got 5 of them. What do you guys think of…

    Well if an online merchant has it on sale and ships it and all I have to do is checkout through an affiliate portal and enter my credit card info then that is what I define as easy. Walmart for $95 per DA involved a follow up phone call. Again not what I would define as difficult. I am scared to see the reactions to what I…

    I have to disagree with the math here... or at least what 'really not making anything' means. Even if you paid full price for some reason... and even if you get no discounts on your selling or PayPal fees... you're still pocketing over $95 if you sell 4842 for $250. And if you bought it when it was widely available for…

    Several pages ago there was a conversation in this thread about intentionally creating a shortage to create more sales. The example was Nike Air Jordans. If in year 1, they predict sales to be 1,000,000 units but only produce 950,000. 95% of their customers will be happy, and the remaining 5% will be upset that they missed…

    TLG is certainly releasing more themes than ever before. My strategy for reselling has not changed tho - I just select the cream of the crop. Out of the hundreds of sets TLG retires every year I select the best 3 or 4 and load up. For my personal collection I buy maybe 10 sets per year...I don't buy more because TLG…

    LOTR at clearance is good. At retail bad. Maybe the lack of demand has something to do with how poor the design is with these sets. LOTR is such an epic scale fantasy storyline - what Lego produced doesn't quite capture it's intensity and massiveness. Have you purchased any of these sets? I wouldn't say that they are poor.…

    If you show the IS and the B-wing side by side, there is no contest. Even though the IS was never engaged in combat, it is well shown in ROTJ, is minifig scaled and comes with minifigs, the B-wing was under exploited in the film and has absolutely no kudos. I do think that only the completionist is going to buy the B-wing…

    Hmm, might not be the best place for this question, but this topic seems to be the closest as I'd like to ask about a long EOLed set. Anyhow recently I've found a sealed 7171 Mos Espa Podrace set in a small toystore. The box has some shelfwear at the corners and there are 3 small price stickers on it but otherwise is in…
