exracer327 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 My local Walmart has a few stacks of Speed Champion (6-wide). Two of them are onsale via the website. Of course, the app won't let me buy at online price while I'm standing in the store.. grrr. So I went home, ordered the McLaren on sale, then went back and picked the ones that weren't on sale (3 white Porsche & 2 Ferrari). Considering the Porsche is going for over $30 on walmart's website, I might go back and grab the other four still sitting there @ rrp.

Is this 75954? What’s the rush to grab this one? Is it retired? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus311 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Is this 75954? What’s the rush to grab this one? Is it retired? It will be soon. If you wait to grab a set until after retirement from stores you will most likely be disappointed. Most try to anticipate the next sets to retire and buy them before they are gone.

I never saw this set online at a sale price. Maybe I missed one? Not sure but I checked amazon and target pretty often. Turns out this one might be on the way out and now it appears LEGO is annually releasing sections of the castle as “modules”. Might be. A good one. Honestly, I don’t see “huge” differences from the 2010 one I own and built w/ my son, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see on LEGO Shop at Home they are “temporarily out of stock” 12 minutes ago, Shortbus311 said: 57 minutes ago, MotorCityMuscle said: Is this 75954? What’s the rush to grab this one? Is it retired?

Mathew Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) FB Marketplace find: sealed Hagrids Hut (newest one) and opened, partially built Apollo 11 Saturn V for $65 total. Was told the Apollo set was complete but I haven’t verified. Box and instructions included. Used copies are selling for over $100 on eBay so I think I did good.

I haven't put more than $10 into any one raffle. I added it up and total I have bought $339 worth of raffle tickets. I have won a 75191 Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive, a bundle with all 3 of the new Star wars Helmet busts, the 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon, 42064 Technic Ocean Explorer and the 42100 Liebherr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a quick calc in my head not looking up the value, but that should be quadrupling your money, if I'm correct? That's insane raffle luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Scored a Hogwarts 71043 used 100% complete for $400au. Cheapest one on eBay is almost a grand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus311 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Bought a used 5591 today for $40. Came with the box and still sealed instructions and stickers. Unfortunately the brick bags have been opened, but from first glance it appears complete. I used to love these model team sets when I was a kid. I had a red and white formula 1 car and a blue and white semi truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't checked going prices for the POTF action figures, or Epic Force, etc., but I do remember they were pretty much worthless about 15+ years ago. I unloaded all my POTF figures at $1.50 each at a garage sale back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked them up in my teens for under ten bucks apiece. I have lugged them around the world twice though with job moves. Have stacks of carded orange and green carded figures still to see if I can sell or trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
