Unless you have fancy software I wouldn't bother. Resolution is too low and labels are too far in the distance - I zoomed in to 1000% and it's just a blur, no distinguishable letters.

Good call... I could actually visit a few toy shops in Reykjavik to see if any are interested in a job lot. I know somebody who works at Icelandair cargo (I'm also ex-airline) and I should get a very good deal on shipping a cargo container load.

I emailed it to myself at low-res on purpose so that details are not visible. I'm about to take them out of the outer bags, leave the bubble-wrap on and then place them in 1 cubic-metre pallet boxes for storage. If anybody does decide to visit, the boxes will be gone within the hour! No stock is stored at home apart from what gets posted that day.

I've been picking up series 5 and under. I see 7 and 9 everywhere, thus avoiding them. Surprisingly, I seldom see 8.

Any tips on these?

[botchy123]

Picked up a few good deals in some stores at Tesco over the weekend on the 3 4 2

Duplo number trains were about 3 for £ 16 

Captain Phasma  about 3 for £ 18

First order Battlepacks  about 3 for £15 

Just noticed the post above and should add Series 8 mixels  3 for £4.50

Not in Tabby's league but he's my first boot load of 4 trips to Tesco. Plenty of volcano sets on the next load, plus 3 of each ideas set, advent calenders, and a few SW sets. Tesco you have officially broke me.

You guys make me miss living in England.  Lego sales and otherwise.  Can't find a good pie shop here.  At least not a proper pie.

Yes, they still exist.

They have a membership like Barnes, except their coupons work on Lego.

Check out the Mixels thread for tips on them.  But I, too, have noticed that Series 5 seem to be have re-infiltrated Target lately.  They're from mid-2015, so I'm not sure where/how they've found a boatload of them, but they are out there.
