I wonder what this behemoth is...



I am excite.
The worst part is I probably won't be building it for a while.
And I now have 85€ in VIP points

That really needs to be the Best-Wing.

Nope. Thicker.

Death Star or SSD?

Buying older sets still brand new in the box is so costly but it's still so much fun to do. Especially when I get to open it.

Ok folks, my local non-Lego Lego shop has the following sets (and the new one, obviously):

Bakery (2010), Toy Shop (2009), Post Office (2011?)

Are any of them OOP yet? I'm assuming if I want all of them I should do the Toy Shop first since it's the oldest?

Bone has gotten to us. But hey, lots of Death Stat love up in hur!

Toy Shop is already OOP. In that EOL link posted on the last page, in the comments the OP on the source mentions offhand that Bakery is also EOL "obviously", which does make sense (came out in 2010).

So I would definitely get Toy Shop ASAP (jelly on that one, I'll wind up paying 2-3 times retail for that sooner or later). Bakery looks like it's still in-stock at places, but probably not for super long?

I just ordered this from my Lego store, they didn't have it in store, but sent it for free to my house. The girl was surprised it was still in stock online, but yeah, I'd get the Toy Shop first too!

i think they basically said it survives for what's left of this holiday then it leaves forever? It's what I'll buy myself to drown my sorrows if I can't get grand emporium before it's OOP

Oh wow. Thanks I didn't know that. I'll grab it on Monday.

Just ordered the rest of the Monster Fighters theme to finish up my Halloween display. I've got the Ghost Train, Zombies, Mad Scientist, Haunted House, and Halloween Set on the way. I was going to grab Tower Bridge and the Winter Village Bakery from Warehouse Deals, but I'd rather have the Monster Fighters theme finished before my Halloween party.

That Brickset link doesn't mention Tower Bridge or Imperial Shuttle at all...hopefully this means I have longer to snatch them up before they are OOP!

 

[Milchjon]

There's an exhibition that looks like it's pretty much exactly like this one (Sorry for the shit quality) in a Museum right around the corner. Might go there tomorrow.

 

[nicoga3000]

There are some fantastic displays in that video - awesome!!

 

[Calm Killer]

I'm also a fan of the LEGO Great Vehicles subtheme - I've got the Garbage Truck, Ambulance, Car with Caravan, and Tipper Truck from 2012. Both of the 2013 entries look great, and there is a third one we don't have pictures for yet - the Octan Tanker Truck.

 

[chimster]

wait wait wait Grand Emporium is going OOP?

 

[Calm Killer]

Here's the latest city vehicle to leak: a tanker truck

Here's the old model:

I tried to post this last night, but i couldn't from my phone. You beat me to it. I like the old one better.

 

[anonymous_abc]

the sun promotion is now official!

[Calm Killer]

Oh wow. Thanks I didn't know that. I'll grab it on Monday.

If it is retail price buy two of them. I will buy one from you! I have been looking for one for months but the cheapest i can find it 149.99. If its 59.99 id love one.

 

[fredrancour]

welp. Lego responded to my customer service inquiry saying grand emporium is gone. do i pull the trigger? how irresponsible with money do i feel?

 

[ghostmind]

(additional pet polys are also listed, but no pics yet)

 

[ghostmind]

If you are able to get the Toy Shop for retail then that is a great find! That set has been OOP for almost a year and is going for double its retail (or more) now.

welp. Lego responded to my customer service inquiry saying grand emporium is gone. do i pull the trigger? how irresponsible with money do i feel?

So there we go - from the source itself. Everyone that wants a Grand Emporium pick one up from Amazon before they are out of stock!

That Brickset link doesn't mention Tower Bridge or Imperial Shuttle at all...hopefully this means I have longer to snatch them up before they are OOP!

Actually in the same thread, they are discussing the Imperial Shuttle and Diagon Alley being discontinued as already happening.

I tried to post this last night, but i couldn't from my phone. You beat me to it. I like the old one better.

You and me both, but I'm sure I will pick this one up at some point - for $15 to $20 these are always great impulse-buys.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!


[edit] as in I have to spend money NOOOOOO!

 

[anonymous_abc]

strange how fire brigade is still around and they now decided to bite the bullet on grand emporium...

 

[ghostmind]

waiting on three more planet set pictures to surface...

 

[anonymous_abc]

those planet sets look awseome


ps grand emporium is still listed on the european lego site.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

And knew I should have bitten on Diagon Alley instead of Haunted House.

Mildly annoyed by it, but not super upset. The set is only like a year old right? I know the line is discontinued, but still.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

What are the odds of Lego stores carrying Grand Emporium? I know it's OoS on the Lego and Wal-Mart websites, but in stock on Amazon. I'd rather pick it up right away if I can, but I'll order from Amazon as a last resort.

 

[neonglow]

Here's a pic of all 6

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Weird to have series 4 be all OT stuff. Those sets do look really great though.

 

[DrForester]

EDIT: NVM, only read the bottom one.

That mini B-Wing looks great!

 

[Tedesco!]

Falcon is older so it might be disappearing soon. Jabba is new, so you have a couple years.

This version might, but I don't think the Falcon is ever going to vanish. This is what, the third version?

The falcon will always come back, but this version was quite nice compared to other versions. Outside UCS that is.

I love my ability to avoid "new toy" syndrome. I only buy older sets to make sure I don't get screwed on OOP stuff.

 

[Vyer]

Damn, GE gone. Glad I bit on the Walmart sale, despite my weird wrong piece issue.

 

[mrkgoo]

I love Lego so much. I should buy some new sets.

I was good about it for the most part, but the Halloween season is what got me.

And Diagon Alley was one that I just got the itch for only last month.

Yeah, I want that set as well. Just gotta find it ha.

So I have two orders of pick a brick coming from Lego.com for my corner cafe. Got everything I could from the Lego website. There are about 70 items that Lego did not have listed so I will have to go with brick link. Currently they don't have any of the red slopes or the base plates listed. I have a feeling this is going to be fun.....

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I like the designs of some of those new Friends sets...when do these come out?

EDIT: Never mind, I found out.

 

[SystemShark]

How long will the series 1 and 2 Star Wars sets be around. I know 2 came out this year but I haven't had a chance to grab the X-Wing, Cloud Car or AT-ST.

[ghostmind]

 

[anonymous_abc]

[tiggerkiddo]

Legends of Chima? What in the world is that?! Just bring back Fabuland guys.

Lone Ranger sets? Hmmm

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Creator houses ftw!
Although, I have enough dark blue roof pieces from Apple Tree House.
