So I picked up this one. Hopefully, I can learn some interesting techniques so I can build my own mini-modulars. Expand There's a ton of instructions out there for additional builds. Including all the modulars that have come after these first 5. Think about the TRU sets, too. Quote

Got a 10013 new in box for $40 shipped, and two 10017 hoppers used with box and manual, one for $50 and one for $59. That last one was a bit of a bummer because I placed a Best Offer early on in my search, thinking I would get countered at best, but the seller accepted the offer straight away. Found better priced ones but felt obliged to see my offer through when it got accepted. You can never have enough cargo cars on your railroad anyways. EDIT: prices are before applying my eBay bucks certificate Expand Is this you? (Image from Facebook LEGO train group) Quote

Gonkalin Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 Architecture sets are the most "sure" thing for investing Lego in my opinion. Quote
Gonkalin Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) A couple weeks ago I bought a Classic Yellow Castle 375. With box in very good condition, instructions. Complete. $375. I had to have one for personal collection. I actually had one when I was a kid and still have parts of it but I wanted one complete. The high price is due to the great condition of the box.

Expand I don't have that many and I'm saving them for when the current Harry Potter sets retire to see if they get a good bump. Maybe I'll just bricklink/owl the pieces I don't already have. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 7x 75951 Grindelwald's Escape for £9.98 each. I'll even say exactly where I got them from: Asda in Westmead, Farnborough They also have RW&AD Brickheadz, but at RRP so I left them there. The 3-in-1 CITY sets for £12.50 have gone. Quote
