I seriously don't want to long-term hold this thing hoping it will be $500 someday. The next "limited" Technic set will be right around the corner. They already have the 24 hour in green and Ferrari in red... they probably picked orange so that they may sell more sets for parter-outers or MOCers. Or maybe they were kind enough to consider people's display shelves... adding orange in... so more rainbowy: Ferrari (or different line of collection, T1), Porsche, 24 hour (or Cooper), (Beetle)... I'm 90% joking and seriously doubt they will come up with something purple. Well, maybe a Friends UCS Camper or Sports Car. Who knows. A slick-looking black sports car won't be bad IMO. But they have the Tumbler covering that part of color spectrum... Edited June 6, 2016 by cissi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sfcommando14 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) I think the non-direct fees cost cannot be understated, but every person chooses to view them different. Time and gas to drive to "5+" Lego stores presents an additional cost. Shipping supplies is another cost for such a big item that you want handled properly. Risk of being mishandled in the mail/returned is a potential cost that should be considered. Not much opportunity cost since the money is back to you so quickly. On the other side, if you used several VIP accounts in the purchases you could have ~$150 in VIP points. If you got a fountain with each, you could easily clear $15-20 on each of those to help net another $150-200. Everyone looks at the QF differently, and to each his or her own. I hope you got what you wanted out of your transactions @toni8284 Edited June 6, 2016 by Sfcommando14 clarifying 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you got what you wanted out of your transactions @toni8284 Very well written post SFC. The older I get, the more valuable time is to me. I'd rather be spending time with the kids or going golfing, etc. We don't know Toni's situation, so like SFC said, the way non-direct fees/cost are viewed differ for each person. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toni8284 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Now I understand what you are trying to say. Thanks for the explanation. So for conclusion , I net around $60 each after all expenses. I will stop on this topic for now 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
