Popular Post exciter1 Posted November 8, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2016 Lucked into another Grand Hotel at KMart this morning on the way home from a meeting. They were rearranging and this one must have shook out. $65 after 40% off and $10 off coupon. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was better actually as Tesco matched their lower price of £44.99 after I paid £49.49 and it's also tracked on Quidco. This works out at just £28.49 per set. Oh... Clubcard points too as my other 30,000 points have now become vouchers ;-) I am selling now but, locally for cash, not on eBay. The eBay price is way too low so I'll wait until EOL.

Clintonjoseph Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 On vacation in Nashville, TN. Went to check out the Lego store today. Picked up 3 ultra agents mobile hq's for $50 each. Not the best boxes but good enough. They also had a bunch of the london bus promos on the shelf for $10 each. I got one for a buddy but left the rest. They gave me a free soldier ornament and the free advent calander thing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clintonjoseph Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Yeah I definitely considered it. I'm here till Saturday, so I might give in and get some more. I already felt a little shady getting the 3 agents sets. Didn't want to look too much like a reseller, figured there's lots of competition selling these already and just to get around $7 each seems like a lot of trouble. I know, I know, leaving money on the shelf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrustratedByYellow Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 So I'm new to buying Lego & have no idea what I'm doing - feel free to offer advice. I just kept putting stuff in & out of my trolley until the store was closing, then went to the register with whatever was in my trolley because I ran out of time. Initially I had all girl Lego in my trolley because that's what I'd buy. Then I took it out & put all Star Wars Lego because I know collectors like it. Then I put Duplo because it's cute. Like I said - no idea! In the end I bought the big Ghostbuster Building. Also some little Star Wars Sets (75125, 75128, 75129, 75131, 75132, 75133, 75134, 75138) and some little City Sets (60118, 60128, 60081, 60115, 60119) and some Duplo for little kids (10808, 10814, 10590, 10813, 10607). I was thinking next I'd buy the Creator VW Camper & Beetle but I can't find them in any stores now ?. So instead I guess I'll buy the Parisian Cafe - it appeals to me because it's pretty but maybe that makes it a bad investment since most Lego collectors are guys? Like I said, all advice welcome, thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pete411 Posted November 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 10, 2016 SSD 10221 popped up at AWD last week and Amazon flubbed on the price. I was able to snag it for $435. It arrived today shipped in the original box but looks to be complete. I never thought I'd own this set so this is an early Christmas gift for me 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 After a lot of frustration with TRU's horrible glitchy website, I finally ordered: 1x Passenger Train (to part out) 1x Trevi Fountain I hope to get the 4x minifigs, £15 coupon and 15% Quidco. I've never ordered from TRU before, do you get emailed the £15 coupon or is it enclosed with the shipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need to remember to use it. Can you place a lot of back-to-back orders and get away with it like you can with Tesco & George? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you place a lot of back-to-back orders and get away with it like you can with Tesco & George? You can order as much as you want as on Tesco / Asda. Place too many high value orders and you get a call from the TRU security team just to make sure its legit. Think they wanted proof emailed to them but just told him the truth (re-selling and what i doing, why etc) and he says thats fine...didnt have to send evidence. TRU screwed me over. Claimed only had about 100 Nerf Hell-Fire Blasters....so i bought 'a few'. Next thing i know they have another 800. Now i have to sit on the Nerf until TRU and the other restocked resellers sell out.

Rule of thumb is to shoot for at least 30% off for investment, possibly 20% if its a hot set.I paid AUD$427.50 for the Ghostbuster set, AUD$35.10 for Hoth Attack Set & the rest was 25% off - all from Big W. I just realised though, that I could return the GB & Hoth set & buy them again at 25% off, so that would mean another 15% saving. So what do you think? Is 25% enough? How many years before I can expect a reasonable return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
