    ^ This. I've been saying that 'profit is made when you buy it' for some time but I still don't think the message has got through to some. Hogwarts Castle @ £50, Hogwarts @ £25, Forbidden Forest @ £5, Technic Excavator @ £90, Technic Supercar @ £60, Passenger Plane @ £17, Airport @£40, Two Face Chase @ £22, Batcave @ £37,…

    The lack of availability of the Flower Cart is very annoying. It's only a few days into the month! I assume it is sold out in stores as well. I was waiting to go to a store so I could also redeem my coupon for a free LEGO employee minifig from the store calendar. But on the other hand, that makes it easy for me to "pass"…

    I can't figure out whether there is sarcasm here or not. As the IS is the only "investment" that I actually purchased (I bought some other sets ib soec but fully expect to open then at some point), I'd love to know what people are thinking. I was planning to see one or two this fall, and would love to know what to expect.…

    You'll never see another UCS version of each. Regular play model version - yes - with both - eventually. Assuming EV and SC are done, EV was out about a year more (3 years and change). That tells me UCS sets that sell well get an extended life. Is Slave I one of those sets? If so, then it potentially retires around March…

    You may want to find them. The #7636 typical goes for 160-170 on eBay. And if you got the #7684 when it was on sale at LEGO for 17-18 USD back in the day you are not hurting on that one either. The Farm I think goes for 200-250 USD right now. Well the Farm set that was out (#7637) was a bit pricey IMO for what was included…

    Australia has a tiny population for its size, (24million) so forget about that. But the population of the EU, which is a good chunk less than Europe, is 503 million. The US is 318 million. Admittedly many of the people in the EU have less money to spend but the EU GDP is still higher than the US at about $18 trillion…

    that makes no sense, as you might be taxing yourself on piece sales that are less than the cost of the set (expenses). It makes even less sense if you plan to only part, part out the set, if that makes sense. Lets say a set cost £50, and you sold 17% of the set for £20, what would you treat as profit? This complication is…

    Take the Xwing, as it's more parts from previous discussion....It's 17% more parts, at 25% more cost. That would mean a UCS Falcon release now would be 6080 parts, at $625.00 if you follow the average price per piece of the UCS line. If you take only 2010-2013 average... you get Entire Avg S189.46 1906pcs 0.102ppp 3…
