75313 at 30%+ off, legit?

Tue, 29 Mar 2022 02:36:31 +0000

Sry, not sure were to post this but I’ve found a couple of AT-AT (75313), local sellers, selling for $500-$550. That’s 30% off RRP, but I haven’t seen this set discounted any. Just wondering if these could be legit? Have others found similar deals, wondering if I may have missed it? I’m not a hotshot deal finder like some folks and never really seen any of these larger sets at more than 20% off or so.

WTB: Modulars Town Hall , Emporium, firebrigade etc

Sun, 30 May 2021 01:35:19 +0000

I am trying to complete my modular buildings collection. I still need the firebrigade, townhall, green grocer, corner cafe, market street, and grand emporium. Please lmk if you have any of these youd be willing to sell. I dont mind used as long as they are 100% and are in good condition.

Looking at Unloading Majority of Collection

Sat, 02 May 2020 22:23:44 +0000

Given the brisk sales over the past month, it seems a waste to let my inventory linger in my basement. I work in a hospital, and simply don't have the time to sell this stuff myself right now. I thought maybe me and another member could help each other out, so I'm posting here to see if there would be anyone interested in a bulk purchase from me. I'm located in Indianapolis. I don't have a list put together yet, but I'd be looking at 50-100 sealed sets at least, plus significant amounts of polybags and CMFs if there is interest in those.

Anyone interested in further conversation, please shoot me a PM.

Selling Entire Collection, Need Advice

Mon, 09 Mar 2020 22:45:06 +0000

Hello! I'm selling my entire LEGO collection and I need some advice. I don't really want to go through the hassle of shipping everything, so I'm hoping to sell it all to someone who can come pick it up from me in North Carolina, USA. I'd also be willing to meet someone within a couple hours' drive.

My collection is mostly modular buildings, but I have some other miscellaneous stuff as well. Everything has a well-cared-for box and set of instructions. Sets I built in the past have been disassembled (mostly, I didn't take apart every piece) and sorted into plastic bags that correspond with their instruction booklets. I even have a few sets that are still new in box.

Here is a list of what I am trying to sell: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Gzu-DcFC6xHLnUgaVBGWXHtUBqm-QAjZpyo4Cr85f8c/edit#gid=0. Please ignore the Notes column, that's just a reminder to myself of where I stored the booklet. :)

Obviously I want to get a fair price, but I'd rather get rid of it all quickly than maximize my profit with auctions, packaging/shipping, etc. Is this a typical way of selling collections, or am I gonna have to bite the bullet and list everything separately for sale? Any advice or previous experience anyone can share would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Charged extra by LEGO during VIP early access, anyone else?!

Tue, 26 Nov 2019 07:45:00 +0000

Hi fellow Brickpickers,

Just curious if anyone else has run in to this "problem" with LEGO Corp. while ordering during early VIP weekend?:

So, shortly after the early VIP weekend sales/promotions started, I checked out what special deals were being offered by LEGO and was pleasantly surprised to find that "Welcome to Apocalypseburg" set was discounted to $209.99 so I decided to make the move and order the set. It was a set I would have liked to have... but was not at the top of my "priority list", but the price was too good to pass up, especially considering it would include the Christmas Tree and 2 x 8 red brick freebies. I applied $65.00 in VIP vouchers along with a $20 gift card received via an earlier promotion. Total cost after all those were applied came to $128.22.

Well, not only did LEGO put thru the charge of $128.22... but they also put thru two authorizations for $97.17 and $8.31, effectively "tying up" $105.00 on my debit card. I called LEGO customer service two times, waiting on hold in excess of 45 minutes on Saturday and Sunday, yet as of today, the authorizations are still tying up my funds. Finally called my financial institution to dispute the two charges that they had NO BUSINESS putting thru, and essentially holding my funds "hostage".

Just curious if anyone else has run in to this problem? It's horrible customer service. And while they are outstanding at putting out excellent products, their billing/IT departments are obviously failing at their job of billing customers accurately/effectively.

LEGO needs to get their sh!+ together... it's just not cool nor acceptable to be putting thru bogus charges in excess of what a customer has purchased.

So.... again, just wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and if they've had any success in remedying the situation?

Thanks... and LEGO on!

Used Eiffel Tower 10181 and Carousel 10196

Wed, 12 Sep 2018 15:45:19 +0000

Not sure where to put this but I bought a used lot a while ago that included Eiffel Tower 10181 and Carousel 10196.

Intended to go through the pieces but honestly I haven't touched them in more than a year.

Just curious if I should still hold onto them in the hopes that eventually I get to them, or just get rid of them.

Looks like used Carousel prices are pretty solid... honestly I'm not really interested in Eiffel Tower.

Thanks for the feedback!

[FR] Lego mega collection of 27.6 Kg with trains

Tue, 12 Sep 2017 11:43:40 +0000

Hi,

I’m separating myself from my lego collection. It is constituted of 5 boxes for a total of 27.6Kg. It includes a lot of sets but the two main parts are trains (freight: https://brickset.com/sets/4558, and passenger: https://brickset.com/sets/4558, with a lot of subsets that are related to these two).

The sale is listed on ebay : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/222639982511

The legos are to be picked up in Antony France (92160), or can be sent but a 30Kg package is expensive to ship (115€ for Amsterdam for example).

Thanks a lot

Have a nice day

German couple selling their LEGO collection ... Real or scam ?

Wed, 14 Jun 2017 10:23:51 +0000

Just check their post:

https://plus.google.com/107370264850136413248/posts/9caxTtKE99n

Offering amongst others and sealed in box:

10179

10174

10221

LEGO Harry Potter sets

LEGO Star Wars (play) sets

In their previous post they didn't include the 10179 and 10174 and then they asked €1000 for the entire lot. Now they apparently ask €2500-€3000 for the entire lot.

But... They do not do cash on pick-up but want to mail it only! Right ... I say: scam!

Daily Deals and BrickPicker affiliate programs - Includes affiliate links

Wed, 30 Jul 2014 13:59:23 +0000

In the past, several BrickPicker members have asked us how we post affiliate links. Many members have been very helpful with posting affiliate information when they post new links in the Daily Deals threads.

Please support BrickPicker by using our affiliates. BrickPicker gets a very small percentage of any sales through the affiliate programs. These affiliate purchases will help to keep the site, databases, and software costs in check. We hope you like BrickPicker and all the information here, the great services here cost money and the site is free. Try to help support us in keeping it that way. The costs can be significant, especially the information provided from EBay for the Brickfolio information.

Sometimes you will see new members post information about cashback sites or credit card affiliates. We either have filters in place to censor the names of the sites, or mods will usually delete the posts when members discuss cashback programs, etc. It's not that we hate or don't believe in other cashback programs, we just want to promote the use of BrickPicker and the use of our affiliate program is another way you can help keep the site afloat and to bring new services that provide great LEGO information and tools to assist you in making good investment choices.

Be careful about AWD deals recently

Sun, 07 Feb 2016 19:55:11 +0000

Recently I had two bad experience with AWD (Amazon warehouse deals).

One was a 10242, condition said: used-very good. It came without original box, just a bunch of bags and instruction books inside Amazon box. Then I found one bag was missing. Called Amazon, got refund.

The other one was worse, it was 75105. Condition said used-like new. It came with original box, the seals were off. I opened the box, immediately found some bags were open, and then I realized all the mini figures were missing. The rest looked okay though. Called Amazon, got 10% off. Then I started to build, I almost completed the ship until bag 9. I realized that bag 9 was also missing, and I was left with some duplicate pieces. See picture. Now it has to be returned.

I have to give Amazon customer service credits though, every time I called them, the representatives were very nice and understandable. However, I am kind of tired of calling them with so many issues. I realized that the 15% discount or so I got on AWD is just not worth it anymore.

Has AWD been this bad? Or it is just my bad luck?

Preorder "The LEGO Architect" down to 15.05$ at amazon.com

Mon, 03 Aug 2015 21:16:17 +0000

As some of you know, I spent the last year writing a new book that teaches LEGO through architecture. The initial reaction to the book has been tremendous, with favorable feedback from folks at archdaily, brickset, uncrate, and best of the web @ architecture.com. (You can learn more about the book here.)

I just noticed a huge drop in the preorder price @ amazon.com US, which might be interesting to folks looking for a good deal. The MSRP is 24.95, but the current price is 40% off at just 15.05$. Amazon changes prices frequently, so the low price may not last.
