Odds & Ends

This Rumor is from the 2 Transformers Websites. If it is true I will buy as many as I can and just take the ones I got from Costco Back for $80 .The Statement below is from the Transformer sites not by me. On another note.... hot rumor for Wal-Mart on Black Friday..... supposedly they will have Metroplex at $58.88! This unconfirmed but I have read it and heard it from a few people/sources now.

I have bought some bulk lots of used Lego for our eBay and Bricklink business. I'm not thrilled with how well (they don't) sell on eBay for the price I want, and I would rather keep our Bricklink store 99% or better new parts. I have noticed when buying bulk lots from the sources I'm using that I end up with a lot of what look to me like mostly-complete or perhaps even complete sets. What I would like to do, pending further research and cups of coffee, is to clean and sort these incoming Lego, make a nice big friendly spreadsheet of all the parts I glean from these bulk lots, and enter all those parts into a special dazzling Lego database of happiness which wi…

Ok so I've decided to change my primary email address (overall not just on paypal) and I found an option that I can add/change/remove existing (current) paypal email address that I use ... So the main question is: IF i change the current email address and write in new one and then delete the old one does this new email address becomes my paypal address which i give out to get paid?

Sorry this is so long but I just can't take the stupidity and complete lack of common sense anymore! I need to vent! So back a week or two ago when Target was giving the $10 gift cards I ordered online 2 of the big Coast Guard sets for around $55 each, plus the $10 gift card. Pretty sweet deal, I thought. When I got my delivery one of the sets had a big dent near the top. Not too terrible, but bad enough that I threw it in the back of my car with the intention of exchanging it for a non-damaged set the next time I was in Target. So that next time was today. I go to customer service with my damaged box and receipt and explain the situation. No problem, I'm told. I just h…

So i was printing out labels for a bunch of small sets that i sold when i noticed a "18% holiday discount" tag on my shipping total. however the price was the same 1.67 that i always pay for my first class packages. basically the base price for first class packages went up 18% to 2.07, but in order to ease customers into rate rate hike, the usps has started us off with a scam discount. luckily as the weight of the package goes up, the price increase decreases, with 13oz packages only going up 10%. this is especially bad news for people how sell a lot of polybags, as well as for people that part out a lot of sets, since this is the preferred method of shipment for th…

I assembled this from the 42008 Service Truck. I'm putting it on ebay. I just have no idea what to title the listing. Any thoughts for you Technic fans.

Anyone excited about the new X-Men movie ? This one combines the casts from X-Men First Class with the original X-Men. The preview looks damn good. Seeing Anna Paquin as Rogue again is going to be weird after so many seasons of True Blood But what I want to know more is if there will be new Wolverine or X-Men theme sets in 2014 :D

Hey folks, I know the Flash is appearing next year, but I just picked up The Green Lantarn(Hal Grodan) please check link : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151146183210?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 This item is at a good price, great printing. I'm not advertizing this seller, I just want DC fan to know, these customs are really top notch. Shout at me if you like. But I'm really happy with this mini figure. Stomping

I just received a text message from my local GameStop letting me know that my copy of BF4 is ready to be picked up. Has anyone in the US already played this? Thoughts?

I get enough of this crap from my wife, lego!

Well since my name is poping up alot about why I buy 40 - 60 sets of one item. Now I am not a Collector, and never stated that i had more sets than most of you guys, but when I started buy lego it was always for investment, and once I got a Wholesale account well buying 20-30 and even 50 cases of the 6210 Orginal Jabba Sail barge, 3 to a case thats 150 Sets, 25 cases of the 6211 Star Destroyer, and in 2010 and 2011 the 6210 was selling for $300-400 and since wholesale was about $50 a piece i made tons a money, I had plenty cases of all the Harry Potter Castles, Trains, etc. What about the First batman, well with the Batcave and batmobile, More big money, Indiana Jones se…

Central Europe Investors: protect your investment and satisfy your desire to build your LEGO sets. One of the easiest ways to burn the money you invested in LEGO is to open a MISB set, just because you always wanted to build that special model. You will decrease the value faster than you can change your brickfolio entry from

I have read 10 or more sites giving advice on selling comic books, but I am still utterly confused by the best path to take. I have a stack of them from the 80's, and I looked most of them up on Ebay, and I have some, like GI Joes, that range in value (going by the current listings anyway) from $5.00 to $500.00 and up. I also have some random ones that look like I could list them for $5 to $10 and sell them in a lot maybe. I run into a quandary when I see the rated ones packed in plastic and displaying their grades. While this looks like the ideal situation, the cost of grading my collection does not seem price worthy. I see the benefit of having the 4 or 5 tha…

Pretty interesting trailer - Could be good for the Quinjet set, unless they release another one. Looks like it plays a big role.

A friend who knows I am a huge Lego Fan sent me this and I thought it was too good not to share. www.xkcd.com/1281/ After I saw it my first thought was I wonder what the curves for People who are Lego collectors and People who are Lego investors would look like on this graph.

So has anyone heard of the Rainbow Loom, or better yet, tried it? I've seen it in my local supermarket as well as at Hallmark, and advertised elsewhere. Seems to be catching on like wildfire. Not sure yet if it's actually "selling out" at places like Michaels. I decided against getting one for my daughter because it looked a little too complicated for her age. I suspect someone gathered all the (now worthless) leftover Silly Bands, added a crochet hook, and is now laughing all the way to the bank.

Not sure if this is a only Costco Exclusive, but he comes with a Lightsaber, talks and Moves from Side to side, just like the Vader bank. For $30 I might get a couple.

Alot of people have been asking me why I box my Lego sets up way a head of time. "Well the main reason is its a mental thing, 10 years ago when I had 100's of lego sets laying around, 20 cases or more coming from lego now and then, at first it did not bother me as I was selling be boxed uplots of other toys to, but as I got more and more lego sets and as time went by, I started to crack, so many lego sets I was selling some stuff to early, i wasn't loosing money but on some sets instead of making $300 and up on some Potter older castles, The SW Snow Speeder Then in about 2006 thats when i started boxing all the sets up as I was getting them, see for me seeing all th…

Ok. I am well aware that character building own the rights to make doctor who toys. But, if your like me and own their sets, well, what can I say.... ..."There really naff"!. The bricks don't hold together very well(e.*** Tardis play set, move a figure, stuff falls apart). Can anyone tell me why character building got the Dr Who license? Also as this show is at it's 50th Anniversary(i've been a fan since 1973), with massive viewing figures, why hasn't Lego gone for this? Many fan have made great Doctor mini figures from current city(etc) parts. Tardis etc. So my point is, would it have been so had for Lego to take on this franchise, or could th…

This set is great, Toys R Us wants $129.99, Amazon $124.99, I paid $103.00 at Toys R Us 25% Off sale, so they will be going back. Costco is 2 miles up the road, so i will be loading up on these. http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/generations-titan-metroplex-coming-soon-to-a-costco-near-you-for-7999/28391/

I've seen on other forms a larger community chat box where everyone can comminute without use of the forms or pm. Have you ever considered adding this to the site?
