Re: Megablock Series 1 Minifigures

Megablocks may be a copycat, but at least they're not a chinese company with cheapo product. They're based in Quebec, if I'm not mistaken and manufacture most of their product in Canada. I don't collect Megablocks, but I have sorted a good amount of them out of used Lego lots I've bought in the past...

Re: LEGO Store event questions

The Houston store was pretty busy. The Lego Universe exclusive was pretty cool, especially if you've played the game, you'll recognize the lego universe rocket as it's the vehicle you use to get from world to world. Pretty neat, IMO. They also had a bunch of Grab Bags available which are always grea...

Re: 2011 LEGO Star Wars

I'm underwhelmed by these offerings. Guess I'll be looking to pick up some older sets I missed a while back. My 6-year old on the other hand is excited about the two battle packs and Gungan set.

Re: How high will the UCS MF 10179 get?

New 10179 UCS Falcons are now selling at around $1000 on average over on Ebay with used sets going for around $600-$700.

Retailers on Google Shopping are asking from $1300-$1900 for sealed sets.

I'm revising my earlier post, this puppy will probably go to $1500 on Ebay in the next couple months.

Re: Discontinued LEGO Star Wars Sets - 2010

I'm surprised they discontinued it while the Clone Wars series continues to pump out episodes. This is an iconic ship in the CW series, you see them (and the AT-TE) in nearly every episode. Surprised they would discontinue both at the same time. I look for these to two sets to become fairly expensiv...

Re: How high will the UCS MF 10179 get?

Sealed sets have risen a bit more over the past month and are going for nearly $900 now.

IMO, this set is one of the 'must have' all-time Lego sets and will eclipse the $1000 mark and then settle back around that number with used sets going for $500-700

Re: Star Wars and its effect on other themes

Star Wars brings tons of new buyers into the Lego line year after year. It also brings old buyers 'back' into the fold after years of not buying. Add to this, the Star Wars sets push Lego's design teams to come up with better designs. They have to compete with other markets they otherwise would'nt c...
