The old Batcave has a great return if you invested back in the day.What's so special about Batcaves?
We had had two now, get a third one next year and all three of them are horribly lacking.
I agree with you on the other sets, but the Funhouse is a TRU exclusive and is the only set you can find this version of the Riddler and Harley. If you pick up two, I almost guarantee you would get your full purchase price if you sell one in a year.I don't think collecting this theme of Batman is worth if if purely do so is for investing, I think a lot of people are thinking that because of the inflated prices of the first sets.
This one a long with Arkham Asylum I wouldn't doubt but that's too big of a maybe for me to be comfortable with.I agree with you on the other sets, but the Funhouse is a TRU exclusive and is the only set you can find this version of the Riddler and Harley.

Oh yeah, definitely Arkham. Big set: check, adored license: check, exclusive minifigs: check. It probably won't reach MF or Cafe Corner levels, but I predict around $400 when it tops out. Then again, Diagon Alley is only selling for $230 now and it has the same qualities.This one a long with Arkham Asylum I wouldn't doubt but that's too big of a maybe for me to be comfortable with.
Thanks....finally able to get the pet shop at a decent price. I tried to get the cottage too, but it was long gone.There is a winter village cottage for $81 and a Pet Show for $121 on AWD.

It amazes me how expensive these plates are. I probably have a stack of 30+ of the various road plates from the 80s, not to mention the building specific plates (e.g. the old Shell gas station).Build plates are $3.74 on Amazon. They are add on items so you will need to spend at least $25 to get that price.

toysrus has the blue ones for $4.99 - buy one, get one 1/2 off (so, $3.74 each), deliver to store for free shipping.Build plates are $3.74 on Amazon. They are add on items so you will need to spend at least $25 to get that price.

Did you need to go check out twice (one for all the plates and once for the mini figures) or did TRU finally become smart and have the bogo just be 25% off all the sets?toysrus has the blue ones for $4.99 - buy one, get one 1/2 off (so, $3.74 each), deliver to store for free shipping.
they seem to be out of green ones now - or else it's just showing no stock for my store, sorry didn't check.
i just picked up a half-dozen green plates yesterday from my local TRU for this price. unfortunately they didn't have any blue in stock.
picked up a handful of minifigs for my son’s stocking while i was in there, also BOGO 1/2 off.
Thanks! That will be useful for a small set!$5 off of $35 on Amazon when you answer a lame question on Facebook.

. I think bringing back the MF would be great and I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen.I did something crazy today. I picked up a used, like new Cafe Corner for $575 on CL. I'm going to sell my sealed one so hopefully I'll be able to clear $4-500 out of the transaction and I will be able to keep the set.
It's funny on TnB there is a user who thinks Lego is out to get all resellers. One of his complaints is that Lego is keeping sets out too long, like the Fire Brigade. He also says the biggest FU to resellers would be to bring back the big MF. I say that would be awesome.
Haha, yeah, the Millenium Falcon.I think Monster Fighters when I see MF, but I'm guessing your talking about something else.
That's what pisses me off on the LEGO company. The rumors around are they got rid any deal at all on the big exclusive sets because of the huge resale value people are making. However there is nothing stopping them from rereleasing the sets. I think it would be great if for the 10 year anniversaries of CC and GG they redo them. I'd be so happy.It's funny on TnB there is a user who thinks Lego is out to get all resellers. One of his complaints is that Lego is keeping sets out too long, like the Fire Brigade.

Better then other sites that go off set number. "I found a 79003 at Target for $50." I can't remember a single set number. Does anyone on here?Gah! The acronyms!
:lol: Next thread we should do a wiki post.Gah! The acronyms!
I so wanted GG to equal this.:lol: Next thread we should do a wiki post.
CC = Cafe Corner - first modular building set.
GG = Green Grocer - second (or third if you count MS - Market Street) modular building set
Yes! This is what they need.Rereleasing some of the sets would put a dent in the resale market. I wonder if they will go to a Disney DVD type model where items go "into the vault" for awhile. That would send a clear message. I guess it is all about what they are trying to accomplish. If they want to stop resellers there are better ways to go about it.
I only don't count it because I don't have one, and it's the only one I'm missing on the shelf. (GG = Green Grocer - second (or third if you count MS - Market Street) modular building set
even though it’s the same price, it’s an add-on item at amazon so unless you want to spend $35 normal or $25 prime, TRU might be a better option. (it was for me.)Did you need to go check out twice (one for all the plates and once for the mini figures) or did TRU finally become smart and have the bogo just be 25% off all the sets?
And Amazon has the blue ones in stock too for the same price and a pack of one green and one blue for $7.50, aka the same price.
Is that the one in CT? I went to the one in Boston a few years back. I wrote down my impressions if you want to read through it:Has anyone gone to a "lego Kidsfest" ? I'm taking my son this weekend to the new england one, Do they have any deals there or anything special I should look out for?
Yes it is in CT, never been, I will gladly read your report, always interested, thanks for sharing!Is that the one in CT? I went to the one in Boston a few years back. I wrote down my impressions if you want to read through it:

Nice...the Hulk, Thor, Falcon, Modok, and Taskmaster set looks great.The Spiderman Marvel Spring 2014 sets...
http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=8899
There is a guy with a huge head. It's funny that Marvel makes all these movies and I know there is a new Spiderman but you think there would be a few more movie characters. They already blew it with no Thor 2 sets.
I'd like some... I mean to know... what LEGO is smoking that makes them thing with all the great $20 City sets that this tiny little set with half the pieces is worth $20.
http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=60042-1
I thought it would be a $11-$13 set.
Good, still wanna pickup the hobbit journey o e for sure. Nice...wish I'd picked up the HP castle and diagon alley.Two years is a pretty safe bet.
I got around to organizing the lego room a bit. My bricklog is getting bigger...
. That is a serious brick log. Good luck digging out. I am a bit disappointed with my Winter Cottage. It has 2 missing bricks. It is my daughter's first big build so it is a little tough to tell her she has to skip some things on the build.Two years is a pretty safe bet.
