I'm not saying it won't make a gain, I just think being dated may limit its market against a generic version like 40139. Happy Xmas 2019 ? Dated also! Boom! I win! Happy Holidays!

Lol, I noticed that too when further inspecting the box art a little while back. I may keep my latest freebie for 4 x years to make an extra £20. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenb99 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I love gingerbread... This was probably the best 2 of 2 holiday special set in a long time. Usually they tank very quick and this one held strong most of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fossilrock Posted December 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2019 It's been a weird couple years for us. I think I suffered through a lego investor/collector burnout (literally). In late 2016, the town I was living in had a catastrophic wildfire, burned half the town down but fortunately, our home survived - but the aftermath of the event left me altered. We could have lost everything that day. I was sitting on way too many investment boxes and collectibles that could have went up in flames. Instead that day changed my perspective on life, and I literally have sold out a lot of the collectables over the last few years only keeping what we consider the good stuff (mostly large star wars and UCS sets, and my sons jurassic world sets). Watching all my neighbors and some friends lose everything put a lot of crap into perspective. Well, finally, after a few years where my only lego purchase was UCS snowspeeder (last year), which we still haven't built. We woke up out of our slumber, a little bit. Yesterday, I went to a walmart, and sure enough, it was like DEJA VU - and I couldn't pass up the discounted Jurassic world 2 sets sitting there at 1/2 price off. So picked up the Stygimoloch Breakout set (16.00), Blue's Helicopter Pursuit (19.00), Dilophosaurus Outpost (32.00). And some Star Wars sets (Rey's Pasaana Speeder Chase (32), and found Kylo Ren's shutttle at a Fred Meyer for 112.00. Will admit the new Kylo Ren shuttle puts the old one to shame. Kinda glad we sold that old one from our collection a year ago. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Not a set, but there's something special about going to the Lego store and finding multiple small parts I currently use for MOCs that I sell. $200 in BrickLink parts for $15.99. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to keep the complete collection going. Just missing the SDCC ones and the strange one-off's. Purchasing the others this week. Im glad to have a fellow BHz collector here. Although all of mine are currently disassembled minus the 6 I have in boxes had to make room in the display area. Fun Fact: The Valentines Bear and the Lucky cat are the first sitting BHZs, and both release at the same time.
