Hey wait. I know that guy from somewhere.

I've been getting abused on facebook a bit  lately. Apparently making money off lego is evil. They have no clue how hard we work, to provide the rare sets they all want.

Personally, I don't post anything about making money off Lego on Twitter, Facebook, etc...  It is interesting though as talking about making money off Lego is frowned upon but boasting about Kenner Star Wars toy, comic and cards profits Is perfectly fine.

I think that RJ is talking about one of the buy/sell groups. 

Wouldn't sweat it personally. AFOLs are some of the whiniest, entitled people that I have ever come across.

Yes that's right. Sorry I posted this on the wrong page.

Don't post anything about money making, flipping, especially Lego on social media accounts. People get jealous, people will follow and try to flip and that brings competitions which make it harder for you to make money, let alone all of us. And most importantly, you don't know who's looking at your post. Home burglaries aiming to steal/rob Lego inventories are not unheard of in this forum.

Facebook is a cesspool of morons and their ill informed opinions and their thoughts that the world cares what they think. Who cares.

 

Personally I tell no one about what I do. One single person in the world who knows me personally knows I do this. It's the only other person who I know is a Lego fan. Told her she gets it all if I die. Probably a bad move. She might murder me for my Lego....

I am still trying to figure out why almost every Walmart in my area switched their inventory from "Out of Stock" with an estimated stock of 0 to "Limited Stock" with an estimated stock of 1 or less at the same time yesterday morning. None of them still have any. I guess 0 is less than 1 so it's still right. Just odd.

Yup, bad move.

Holiday Inventory is impossible to keep up with, so they don't want to even try. They want to give false hope, and not be held to angry parents that say, THE APP SAYS YOU HAVE IT!!!!!! WHERE IS IT?!?!??!?!!

Is there a sort of ban hammer in TRU Germany? Or you could have just snatched them all?

First patagraph Is a gospel truth.

Second one is a very wise policy.

EOL or not EOL, this is the question

It´s retired twice in the space of a 6 month life - I don´t think an investor could ask any more from a set!

I would like more helicopters

No doubt that´s why it was retired - to bring up the helicopter per set ratio in the theme. Something to watch out for in future retirement speculation.

Seriously, every time I walk into my local Lego store they look at me like I'm about to rob them. I give them business and gets treated like a criminal in there.

It´s just good preparation for being an Ebay seller.

I take it this is not a Walmart exclusive across the pond?

It's not exclusive to anything in central Europe - got no idea if it was ASDA exclusive in the UK but I highly doubt it.

That seems pretty common with retailer exclusives in the past. 

I know the euros were wondering what the big fuss was with Orc Forge, back when it disappeared from Target and prices were rising here.

They were saying its available everywhere and at discounts.
