Veegs Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Let's beat this dead horse, gravediggers! I still like the colors and minifigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Grave Digger?Gravedigger, Thread Digger, Threadcromancer, ....some other synonym.It's basically a term we started throwing around for members that leave a post in an old thread and consequently brings it 'back to life' for more discussion.I think they did poorly because of different reasons than just being Disney.There are more reasons behind each indivdual themes failure besides sharing the one similarity of being a Disney property but it does feel rather interestingly coincidental.

akohns Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I mean, if we're saying Disney=bad investment stop buying POC ships and Marval Super Heroes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eightbrick Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 The movie was ridiculously bad, but the sets are pretty good parts packs, especially since they are easy to find cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejimmy Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 This is why I'm not buying any of the Lone Ranger sets until I see the movie. I think the west theme can stand well enough on its own, but I'm not inventing until I see the movie first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beartrapper Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I don't really care for the POP line out of the box, but for MOC's they've got a lot of good parts. As for Toy Story I would of thought that at least the train set would of done well. It's not a bad looking train IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodlenut Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I have the Woody's Roundup set and the Battle for the Dagger. I was really pleased with the parts, but the actual builds were not very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starr Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Gravedigger, Thread Digger, Threadcromancer, ....some other synonym. It's basically a term we started throwing around for members that leave a post in an old thread and consequently brings it 'back to life' for more discussion. Got It! Thanks. I think that the Quest Against Time set fits in well with the mines of moria...and riddles for the ring...and the random Gollum cave in shelob attacks.

Anakinisvader Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 We got another Grave Digger here! I thought you were talking about this grave digger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLsjbdbZyUY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gondorian Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 So where can I pick these up cheap? I have one of each unopened, but would actually like to build them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I have not seen the movie, but I know some people that have, those who liked it bought some of the Lego sets. Personally, I think that they are average sets based off a movie, but if there is another movie released, like Star Wars Episode VII, then they might gain some popularity, respect, and value.

JoshTX Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 So where can I pick these up cheap? I have one of each unopened, but would actually like to build them! Most have already been clearanced off from the bigger stores. You might be able to find them cheap on CL, you could still find them in some stores that always keep everything MSRP like Barnes and Noble, or you might be able to get a lot of a few sets for less than MSRP on ebay. Happy hunting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowestFormOfWit Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 These trickled down very rapidly. I found them at Marshall's and TJMaxx stores last year for dirt cheap. I grabbed a couple of the Race Against Time or whatever for my personal building. Cheap Dark Bley rocky terrain tiles for MFZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I mean, if we're saying Disney=bad investment stop buying POC ships and Marval Super Heroes... I knew what you were getting at and had only meant in the beginning the pattern of straight up Disney related themes not doing well. I agree there were other variables as to their lack of value but it still is an amusing coincidence. Now you can't really stick Marvel Super Heroes in there since Marvel has been Marvel comics forever way before Disney ever touched that property and not one box has the big "Disney" logo slapped in the top corner like the other Disney related themes did.

Gondorian Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Hey, so, I hear that Prince of Persia Lego was a bad investment. Well, I want some of the sets for the parts so who wants to offload some to me at a decent price? I am in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I found some Prince of Persia sets (7573) on sale. The price is 40% of RRP. Is it smart to buy these? Or should I leave them where they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Do not walk, run away from those sets as fast as you can. No money there. At 70% off you might be able to eke out a small profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Goblin Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I wouldn't mind some of the PoP sets just for the minifigs but the sets would have to be at least 50% for me to buy them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No More Monkeys Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 You can always build them and put near either Jabba's place or with cinderella Castle :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No More Monkeys Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 You can always build them and put near either Jabba's place or with cinderella Castle :-) Or, better yet, i think PoP stuff will be a perfect backdrop for upcoming Cantina set. Too bad there are not enough domes in PoP sets... Full-res here: '> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
