   So, to put this even more into perspective... I grabbed a Green Grocer on sale AT Lego [email protected] for $118 + No tax. Here it is 2016 and a Brick Bank is $169.99 + 6% sales tax = $180.19. I bought the GG when they were EOL, so that's the end of 2010, so we can basically say 2011, but I will use 2010 inflation. That $118 is $129.47…

   &#13;It depends on how you look at the data. Using the following conditions to run a query shows a definite increase in sets that would typically be carried by retailers. Category = Normal Packaging Type = Box Availability <> Not Sold Availability <> LEGO Exclusive 2010: 125 2011: 118 2012: 201 2013: 172 2014: 245 2015: 289

   My first impressions were I wouldnt pay RRP, but that was only because I bought 18 of them for £118 each, however I am now thinking that RRP is still a good price based on price per piece, it does represent good value for money and I can see it selling for £500 2 years post EOL. I did buy too early as they still have some…

   Question for you all, do you think that #9465 The Zombies will continue to climb, I see, as mentioned previously, that prices in the US and UK seem to be doing very well, (but maybe not well enough for me to do my usual insta flip). I can pick up a number of these for $58AUD ($61USD, £38 or €46) 17% off AU RRP, as I do not…

   &#13;I think the big thing that is missing from the discussion is the discounts on Exclusives here in the US. If I bought a Cafe Corner at the end of its run in 2009 for RRP ($139.99), that would equate to $156 in today's money. That's not bad, but if you factor in discounts on all the modulars before the "ban", $169.99…

   A few thoughts: All 5 of the current modulars were in the US catalog. I'm not sure exactly what that means but I would expect that none would disappear for at least a couple more months. #21118 does look interesting as a discontinued that you can buy below RRP. I like to use bricklink to see what the market is and this one…
