Ed Mack Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I made that rule. I'll make an exception for an exceptional deal. Which one are you refering to? The 3183? Is it that good?Stephanie's Cool Convertible(3183) is a great little set...yes. It is getting retired soon and for $10, you will double your money in a month or two after EOL. Heartlake Stables is another great deal. Horses are investment winners. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Little girls don't play with Legos as much as boys.Wow. That didn't sound sexist at all. Nope.Parents do need non-doll toys for girls.Amen to that.Which means higher prices for people that do have the Friends sets to resell. I can understand that people don't want to invest in sets that they don't have interest in, but for those people who want to think of LEGO sets as more of a commodity and don't really care about anything but making money, The Friends theme is the way to go. At these discounts, they are no brainers.I agree to all of this. The only two AVATAR sets ever designed are going for the amount they can because the stock in the secondary market is extremely limited. The way how just about every member here says that they will not buy so much as one for investment sounds awfully similiar.There is nothing wrong with just buying what you like to a point. But in some ways, investing is like marketing.Sometimes you need to be willing to purchase what other people may like. Not everyone likes the same thing, you know?My daughter laughs at me and says " are you looking at those purple boxes dad"This just cracks me up! Ha ha!

cflannagan Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Same. But I don't buy Friends sets because they do not have as large an audience as for example, Ninjago. Little girls don't play withe Legos as much as boys. Wrong. My girls are playing with LEGO sets for the first time (about 5 or 6 or so from "Friends" theme) and those sets are getting way more playtime than most of the other toys they have. They seem to enjoy following instructions (spatial awareness). Glad I introduced them to LEGO sets and my wife and I use the same tools to find LEGO Friends sets at least 20% or more off - if we see one, we quickly get it.

Doofy McGee Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I am actually really excited about getting Wolverine's Chopper Showdown for $14.97! I love those $20 sets that have three mini figs. They are a steal to begin with, and 25% off makes it even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anakinisvader Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Buy Friends sets. Great deals. Great returns. That is all! I have to agree with Ed here. On the bright side if they dont sell I can always tell people I have lots of friends. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I caved and bought a few. My daughter won't be able to play and put them together for another 5 years or so. I might have turned them around by then and went on to the next thing. Oh well, now I'll have some and they were significantly discounted when I bought them.

Clambo Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Looks like there are no sales listed on 3189 since Dec 3rd, but when I looked on Ebay directly it was doing rather well. What's up with that Ed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redeemed763 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 That werewolf set looks amazing for moc builders, 243 pieces for $13? It seems to have good pieces too, maybe someone can fill me in but if I can sell the minifigs off for $2 apiece, I still get the rest of the set for an amazing deal.

Where I live I can sell the werewolf alone for $6, not to brag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
