Probably due to the short time frame the sets were made to retail. But like most retired licensed sets, they usually do go up in value. Sigh, i'll just pass on on these old batman sets... and be smarter next time when they are out. There wasn't even a sale on the recent batman before they got disco...

TRU.com on-line price is now moved up to $2.99. Currently listed as out of stock. And in the meantime BL is listing it for $1.88. I don't know why people don't take advantage of the cheaper price there. Very strange. :D Were it a sealed case...I'd take that deal. But I'd rather not get a bunch of t...

That's easy...which ones command the highest price in the secondary market. Kinda what I meant by: Possibly only by online sentiment? Zombie Robot Cheerleader Tribal Hunter Clown Magician Nurse Caveman Cowboy Forestman Ninja Spaceman Wrestler Skater Diver Demolition Dummy You're one short there. I'...

Wanted it, but didn't have the $$.
So I guess it counts as an almost steal.

I didn't realize TRU did damaged box markdown.

yeah, but most of the time, It's only 10-15%

[quote="slacker Seeing as how popular those modular sets are I can not imagine that they are going to stop making those anytime soon. The reason people think the next one is a post office is because of the following: The Green Grocer had a Fire hydrant sitting outside -> Next set was the Fire B...

I only wonder how they will gauge the interest each figure receives. Possibly only by online sentiment? I can't see too man of these guys sitting on shelves for a while, meaning they will all sell. That's easy...which ones command the highest price in the secondary market. It would require less tha...

I will want that one in quantiy simply because females in swimtops are a notorious hard minifg to get ahold of for people doing pools and ocean based mocs.

Wow, you're cooler than the guy who passes out king size candy bars! HA, I'll be that cool IF: I can get my own set first; and I can find a store willing to sell a full case ;) Actually I found a lot of stores stopped selling full cases of toys because toy scalpers will just pick the cream off and ...

There are currently no item(s) in your Shopping Cart. The following item: has limited inventory. We've adjusted the quantity below to reflect the number we have available. Even though the screen states they are available, I've been getting the above error. I would call the 800 number then. Worth a ...

Got an Indian Jones Ambush and 40 Series One Minifigs.

Funny thing was, looking around for series two, and not finding them, ran into a Toy-R-us with series one that had not been picked over! Girlfriend got two zombies, I got one. We both scored a robot. One Cheerleader for her, and five for me.Yea!

I don't know about sooner, but I do regret not buy that battered box of the UCS X-wing in the Toys_R-Us clearance isle for $90.00. I was thinking..."ugh It could have leaked some parts, and only 10% off? I'll Pass."

We haven't finished the fire brigade since I'm waiting for Lego to send me a replacement garage door panel. It came bent. I disappointed that the base was two pieces instead of one large piece. I'm really digging these modular buildings and hope they come out with more. Very good speculation is tha...

I feel that way about a non-ebay very well advertised seller, the one with "train" in the middle name, Brick the first name. The advertised lego 50% OFF, you see what looks like a bunch of Out of Stock sets at 50% off MSRP. However, in the lengthy description, one sentence says it is the ...

Before I came out of my dark ages I was walking through Target and saw the Exo Force sets and thought they were really cool, but I really wasn’t into LEGO and hadn’t been since around 7th grade so I passed. Fast forward to the year I started getting back into LEGO after my girlfriend and I dug up a...

As a Lego enthusiast with kids who NEVER saw the minifigs in any store, it's hard for me to fathom how joe average on ebay would even consider the info useful, let alone valuable. I reported one of those $20 auctioners through the futile automated process when I ran across it, since they are intent...

I believe NIGELTTF is talking about the Brickfair LEGO store visit. LEGO stores used to sell any damaged sets as they got them, but now they ship them to specific stores to sell during LEGO conventions (only to attendees). I was, I had posted a reply to that effect, but it was somehow eaten by the ...
