Sent from my VS995 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Expand Slot Jackpot!! Man, talk about an awful placement of that online Target sticker. Thankfully, all of mine arrived without stickers but one of my Mayhems got soaked when the part of the box sat in the rain. Quote
Popular Post terrymc4677 Posted February 17, 2019 Popular Post Posted February 17, 2019 More Target orders arrived today. Still waiting on a few stragglers. No special numbers of note.

Looks like your Benny's and Mayhem's outnumber your Emmet's and Wildstyle's. I have Emmet's and Wildstyle's I'd trade you for Benny's and Mayhem to help even out the numbers. Quote
LegoPup Posted February 17, 2019 Posted February 17, 2019 Are the Target exclusives (Benny and Mayhem) still available for purchase? Late to the party! I don't have a Red Card so if they're sold out no point in getting one. Quote

If they are, indeed, limited then barring any returns or left over stock, they won't be coming back. Quote

Expand People have the right to do what they want. Some people are stretched thin for cash, and need to sell some quick to recoup some or all of their initial costs. Some people may feel bad for charging 5x RRP just because they were lucky enough to grab them when available (and had Red cards for the Target ones, etc.). If I'd gone skiing that day, or had several work meetings, I might have missed out on the Target ones (since they were only available for hours, vs. Walmart ones which were available for more than a day) despite following this forum, and if that had happened, I'd have hoped someone would trade me, or sell to me at a reasonable price. I know this website is about investing, and that means selling for more than you bought for. But don't bash your fellow investors for selling for "only" 4xRRP if they need the quick cash, or are feeling merciful. If not for a little luck, you, too could be without, and perhaps trying to buy them for your own use... unless you don't actually like Lego... I got quite a kick out of building Sweet Mayhem - the glittery parts, the clever ear-wing and back-wing attachments... Edited February 18, 2019 by CathyVT 1 Quote

I flipped mine that a friend brought to the UK from Fort Mill SC for only £30 each. I don't worry about undercutters as it means less available new stock. It's known in the trade as... erm... competition? Quote

Expand People complaining about having to sell low because of “thin cash”, shouldn’t be in the business of long term investment of Legos. It means you’re terrible at budgeting, and putting in more money than you can afford [to lose]. Lastly, the fact that your “cash thin”, implies that you were greedy in the first place, so complaining about the greed of others is laughably ironic and utterly hypocritical.
