vinny_p_75 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Picked up x20 Mandalorian Battle Pack for $15 a piece from Walmart. I think they're great on eBay because you can part out the minifigures in the set for about $6 to $8 a piece, meaning every individual set's worth $24 to $32(there's four minifigures). It's not a massive gain but good for the steady summer decline in buying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus311 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Food for thought, I sold a 75021 with instructions but no minifigures or box a few years ago at Christmas time for around $125.Hmm... I think the price has gone up on these since you sold yours. One sold 2 days ago with no minifigures, instructions or box for $300 +shipping. After seeing that sale kinda makes me want to skip the minifigs.https://www.ebay.com/itm/353093156026 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when you could easily find these on clearance at Target for $80. I only bought one at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally got all the pieces sorted into their sets and found the following sets: 8x 75036 Utapau Troopers battle pack 5x 75035 Kashyyk Troopers battle pack 3x 75015 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid 75041 Vulture Droid 75080 AAT 75085 Hailfire Droid All had all of their minifigures except the 3 75015, they only had 2 Jango Fett and were missing the rest. All the stud shooters and ammo were missing from the 13 battle packs. But $7 shipped on bricklink got me 42 stud shooters and inserts and 130 trans medium blue 1x1 round plates. Also, from the same guy, got a 90% complete 75021 Republic Gunship, no minifigures, instructions or box for $45. After going through my stock I only had to order 40 pieces for $15 shipped on bricklink to finish it. Still debating on whether or not to order the $160 worth of minifigures or sell as is. im interested in the kashyyks sets if youre parting out. mainly the figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoWalker4 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I bought four space plates, including two crater plates, on Craigslist for $8. A kid was selling his bulk Lego collection and I gave him $10. It is hard to ask a happy kid for change, as has been noted on this site. The plates cleaned up well and there are no cracks! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you looking for a particular set so you just scroll through looking for that a particular set number or are you scrolling for hours at every Lego listing out there. I've looked a few times and just give up from boredom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked a few times and just give up from boredom. A very long saved search string on eBay that I click on from time to time. "Lego (set#, set#, set#, set#, set#........)" Searches the word Lego and each item between the parenthesis separately and pulls them into the same search results. Lot 1 was BIN that was just listed when I clicked my search, Lot 2 was an auction that ended at an odd hour when I was feeding the baby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odd hour buys are great. I've had a few when up in the middle of the night because of our then babies. Best one was when I came home late from hanging out with the guys on Father's Day 10+ years ago and saw a Master Replicas Millennium Falcon listed for $1100 buy it now from one of my saved searches. Bought that sucker semi-buzzed. Damn thing is worth a pretty penny now, even though I have no plans to ever sell it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourkidsbuilding Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Bought 2x U-Wing Starfighters for retail price and 2x First Order Star Destroyers at a slight markup. All found at a local mom n pop hobby store. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatttcat Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I have been making my way through B&N targeting various Arch skylines that I have a good feeling retire soon, just using discounted gc's and membership discount.

Achilles Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I made a bit of a roadtrip to get some Hidden Side Lighthouses and High Schools today, which I wasn't thrilled about - I was hoping (And thought) they would get another markdown, but doesn't seem to be the case and they are starting to dry up at the 40% price point. High School I am more confident on, Lighthouse not as much - They both are gambles, but I don't really think you can LOSE money at the $75/$30 buy in. I actually like a lot of the Hidden Site sets themselves, they provide good value PPP - and I think they look cool. I am not sure how much they will be in demand post retirement though. I am usually wary of "Techy" type stuff like the Dimensions/Hidden Side, etc. While out, I hit up a Barnes and Noble and grabbed 2x Hogwart's Express with Membership and Disc GC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think lighthouse will do fine. Its normal setup fits in nicely with the existing city layout, who doesn't need a lighthouse on his coast? 😁 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn't been any schools besides in the Friends theme. This set will look great in a layout among the other City & Modular buildings. I think it will do well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the same boat about the Bugatti...already have a couple of local ads on my mind....might just cash in some VIPs and "get it over with" I think the completist FOMO is very strong with this line..now that the Lambo is making this entire line truly both LEGO top of the line flagship product and highly sought after...I could see prices hit in the thousands for these early sets New in MINT Sealed BOx a few years down the road as it target adults w/ big wallets anyway (the D2C also makes it that many potential buyers never see it on the shelves and probably find out about it "too late"). it's the new UCS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
