Hmmmm.... do I take an extra suitcase to SYD as I have a few Qantas freebies to use up still? ? What other small sets is Australia short of? Do any of these retailers ship to Australia?

That seems to have happened with Saturn V which is now very available everywhere. I see "Sold Out" as a bad sign these days and I tread carefully. thats the real problem, that (almost) everybody is do "hungry" . .they cant get away just with a couple (less than 10) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenb99 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 The amount being stocked in volume these days is not near the amounts made out on here. Way to many sets , even just the good ones. Everyone runs out of money eventually. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakchem Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I didn't buy a single BH over the past year. I'm just wondering if they give you good return if bought at MSRP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRU exclusives (especially Phasma and Lloyd) were pretty good returns even at if bought at msrp. But I guess why do you ask yourself that question? Who here buys at msrp? Nobody. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabbitfast Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Have a large batch of 40260 sets here supposedly retired January 2018 in the EU zone with the codes 22S8 and there abouts on them can we really trust anything we read about Brickheadz or any other theme.

donbee Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Ok , I’ll play . Over 300 of 76039 at $27 each I understand, no malice intended. But I’m not sure your answer is appropriate. Question? Did you buy 76039 before they were doing well, or after there were sure signs it was a winner?The way I understood the original question was which BHz to buy now at RRP, in anticipation of great returns. To which a fair answer, though sarcastic, would be, “who buys at RRP?” Can you even find a BHz at RRP? They come out on sale 20-30% off all the time, right from release. Target auto 5%, bookstores auto 10%. I’m hard pressed to find an RRP BHz. Or maybe I’m just that good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is there is always a time to buy at or over MRSP and should never be ruled out as a possibility. hopefully this better explains things .. wasn't about a particular set or me ; a lot of people do it on a large scale. anyhow nothing to see here. back to our usual retiring soon speculations . now who get a list ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreman Porgy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 When TRU was going out of business I cleared out the Master WU brickheadz at $3.75 and sold them for $9.00. I then took the money straight to one of my Cracklink dealers and bought a gorilla suit guy, along with a few other Minifiugres. Gotta feed the Monkey ?

I found these over a month ago and first thing i did was check when it retired (jan 2018) and then noticed the 13S8 codes. Only bought one as my hunch was right that these would keep getting refilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some modulars, Eiffel Tower and Mars Rover have been rumoured so far. the seasonals were always extended line stuff and not considered actual sets with start and end dates. Don't really care on those and just see it as an opportunity to get them again if you want more. They did it with other stuff before the seasonals like the baubles, rose and other extended lines stuff. Some baubles are on year 6 or 7. bringing back remakes under new set numbers is something totally different and technically not resurrecting, happens in other toy lines as well. Least you get a few years to move them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
