The Deal or No Deal Forum

Too early? Anyone else looking to make a score on Black Friday? Last year I was able to grab 75054-1 AT-AT and 75055-1: Imperial Star Destroyer at 40% off. (Should have gotten more) Any guesses what sets people would like to see as a Black Friday deal?

Is Battle of Helms Deep worth paying 115 for? Rumors are June for EOL. Just wondering what you guys think.

Apologies for the double post and looking like a doofus. Apparently the

Hey Everyone, I'm hoping that some of you can weigh on with some quick advice. I have the opportunity tomorrow to buy several pallets of LEGO at 75%+ off MSRP. The question is how much effort should I put into being selective with what I'm buying? Or should I just buy it all and figure it out later?? haha Some examples of what is available are below. As you can see, there's a bunch of Juniors Incredibles 2 sets and I'm a bit concerned about them moving quickly. I'm gated on Amazon and I can't keep this stuff for more than a few months due to space issues, so it needs to move reasonably quickly (Which means that I'll be offering some good deals on buying in bulk from…

With the current TRU sale it is about $100 shipped. Should I wait for a BOGO sale or am I losing the last opportunity to get it below or at MSRP? Thanks for input.

I saw this walmart have 20 set 9472 for $40 each. Should I buy them all since they are retired or no?

Yo guys, my local Walmart was hiding a bunch of sets in the back of the garden center. I was able to score 2 Helms Deep for 70 bucks a pop and 3 Mines for 40 each. They have like 7 or 8 Gungan subs left and they dont look like they are going ANYWHERE. Theyre marked down to 40 bucks. What do you guys think?? Even worth it at 30 bucks??

Im just getting into this investment thing and I need advice on the 75021. Does anybody see a good return in the future?

I am in the process of acquiring these Lego sets. He is asking $1000.. If I buy them today (maybe in next 3 hours) and as a lot. No boxes, but states all are complete and with manuals. Thoughts? $1000 is not a small amount to shell out at once.

Hi all, So this would be my first large purchase and I wanted to get opinions on this. Now, seller claims all the booklets shown are complete in this lot including mini figures. Seller said they are very particular about these sets and keeping them together. Containers are included with this lot. Obviously it's all jumbled but I love sorting, I swear it's therapeutic. I know images are slightly blurry and numbers are hard to read. Asking seller for better pics currently. But let's say pieces are all there. No boxes, just booklets and complete sets. I got the seller down to $530 What's your opinions? Good buy??? Be as blunt as possible. Also any tips on wha…

I have a chance to buy a used 10241 for $60, it is 100% complete with instructions, box and still has some sealed bags and the stickers are not applied. Is this a good deal or should I pass?

I found a going out of business sale at a local toy store...40% off all legos...the best I saw was the 9467 Ghost Train...original price was MSRP...so is $47.99 a good price for this set? Worth it? They had 5 left. Thoughts?

Looking on ebya say a joblot of lego consisting of: 10211 x6 (GE) 10220 x4 (T1 camper) 10214 x1 (TB) Then a lego chima polybag and lego batman tumble polybag. The price was $3875 /

This set seems to be getting more and more scarce at Target (and does not seem like it will ever go on sale). I'm wondering if it is nearing EOL and thinking about just biting the bullet and paying retail for it. I've only seen it at a couple Targets near me lately. Time to buy now despite having to pay MSRP??

Any reason I shouldn't jump at this?

Around $300 for this. A little vague, all of the mini-figures are there, and sets are complete. About 75-100 pounds of Legos?????. (His estimate). See anything strikingly good? I've never bought bulk before and not sure if I want to start. Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

So I was visiting a friend who is relocating and I noticed that he had some lego sets that he intends to sell. Since he knew I collect legos, he asked me for my opinion on the lego sets. There was a Taj Mahal fully built (no box or manuals) with some bricks that have faded. I would say the faded bricks are about 20% on one side. A Cafe corner which looks complete (No box or manuals). A Grand Carousel which looks 90% compelete (No box or manuals) and some castle set that is 70% complete. How much should I offer for those sets and tell him that they are worth?

Good Evening. I have an opportunity to buy a lot of partially build sets. The goal is to rehab them to completion and sell on ebay. Problem is the guy selling does not have manuals for them and I am not sure what those sets are. Could you let me know the ball park number I should offer for this? He is estimating it to be 80 pounds.

My local Mom & Pop Pharmacy is running a 20% all their toy stock this weekend. I bought these items earlier today. Tie Fighter - $43.99 Jabba's Palace - $95.99 Friends: Adventure Camper x 2 - $27.99 Friends: Cool Convertible - $11.99 I bought the Space Shuttles a few weeks ago and I didn't see the Friends: City Park Cafe earlier today either. I'm going back for the Big Blue Brick Box 6166s tomorrow, even though they are marked up to $40 and I can get them for $32 each. It looks like they're going for about a $100 on EBay, so I should be able to get $50 profit each on all 4 of these. I'm not sure about getting the Helm's Deeps, but I know this…

How many Attack of the Wargs would you buy if you could get them for $18.50 each? I picked up 7 on clearance at my local Kmart. They have 11 more. I was hoping to flip a few on eBay then go buy some more, but I have only been able to sell one @ $32.99 (about $8 profit after fees). I have tried selling the minifigures and Wargs individually but haven't had any luck there either. $18.50 is a great price but in reality how long will I need to sit on these before I have a chance at a decent profit?

The title says it all. Would you bite on 10181 for $500 with a torn box and instructions 100% complete and 10185 for $300 no box or instructions 95% complete. do you think both sets can still go higher in value?

New AFOL here, My son the doctor got me started last fall. Spent a few hundred $ on new sets already. The Craigslist item HERE caught my attention, but I have no reference point for valuing the lot. $700 seems high. So, what do you think I should offer, and why. Thanks, Cliff in Anchorage

http://www.ebay.com/itm/190964747580?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 This was negotiated with the seller. Along with this I paid another $180 for a used Hogwarts. What do you think? Lot calculator say $420 without hogwarts. I think with my store I can get close to $500 out of it + 250 for the Hogwarts. Edited.

Heej Guys, Check out this deal on Bricklink: http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?sID=501970&itemID=60135640 It is very cheap but also very suspicious, user also has cheap 10196. User has 0 feedback and doesn't want to be contacted. Thought i post it here, USA is to far for me. -Hendrik
